CHAPTER 32 : STAYING FOCUSED William’s house was quiet under the night sky. The clock showed nine o’clock, but inside, the atmosphere was still lively. In the spacious living room, Roy sat across from Zelda, the woman he had examined earlier and discovered traces of tainted blood in her body. Elena, who had been with them the whole time, stood near the door, her expression filled with concern. Roy took a deep breath, trying to focus entirely on Zelda. This time, he wanted to delve deeper into his examination, to uncover the origin of the substance contaminating her blood. He placed two fingers on Zelda’s wrist, activating his ability slowly. A cold sensation crept through his body as information began to flow into his mind. Zelda gazed at Roy with a calm expression, but deep inside, she was restless. For the past year, her health had been deteriorating without any clear reason. She had visited numerous doctors, yet none could provide a proper diagnosis. Now, Roy was her only hop

CHAPTER 34 : NEGATIVE RESPONSERoy drove toward Bistro's house, his second target in the investigation. After confirming that Lilia bore no grudge against Zelda, he had to dig deeper into those who had conflicts with her in the past. Bistro, a former marketing manager at Zelda’s company, had been fired due to a corruption scandal that surfaced two years ago. The case cost him his job and, from what Roy had gathered, made it nearly impossible for him to find work in the same field again. It was exactly eleven in the morning when Roy arrived at the address he had found earlier. The house was modest, smaller than he had expected for someone who once held a high-ranking position in a major company. The paint on the walls was fading, the front yard was unkempt, and several potted plants had been left unattended. Roy stepped out of his car, walked to the front door, and knocked a few times. Moments later, the door opened, revealing a woman in her forties with a sour expression. Her ha

CHAPTER 36 : THERE IS A CONNECTION That morning, Roy sat inside his Pagani Huayra Roadster, gazing at the grand building before him. It was the headquarters of a company owned by Yunan, a successful businessman known for his ambition and arrogance. From the information he had gathered, Yunan was an old friend of Zelda, a powerful woman Roy now considered a close acquaintance. However, something felt off. Yunan and Zelda had a long history. Yunan had harbored feelings for Zelda since their youth, but she had always rejected him. Her reason was clear—Yunan was too proud, always considering himself superior to others. Despite the rejections, Yunan never truly gave up. Even now, he still held a grudge, believing Zelda had trampled on his pride. Roy stepped out of his car, adjusting the tie around his neck. This time, he had disguised himself as a potential investor. His goal was to dig deeper into Yunan’s connection with a man named Bistro, whom he suspected of being involved in t

CHAPTER 38 : SHE CONFESSES The spacious and luxurious CEO's office felt eerily silent. Zelda sat in her chair, her expression filled with questions, while Roy stood with his hands tucked into his trouser pockets. His sharp eyes were locked onto Florin, the young woman standing before him with her head bowed. Florin wore a simple office cleaner's uniform, her black hair neatly tied back. Her usually calm face now looked tense. Her fingers intertwined, as if trying to suppress something. Roy still hadn't said a word. He simply stared. Florin felt suffocated in the silence. Her heart pounded faster, her breathing grew heavier. Zelda finally broke the tension. "I'm not the one who needs you, Florin," she said softly but firmly. "Roy does." Florin lifted her head slightly, looking at Zelda, then quickly lowered her gaze again. "What is this about?" she asked, her voice trembling. Roy finally moved, stepping closer. "I’ve already met Johny," he said, his voice flat yet c

CHAPTER 40 : A NEW ACQUAINTANCE That morning, the warm sunlight streamed through the large windows of Zelda’s office, casting golden reflections on the polished marble floor. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, blending with the scent of fresh flowers always placed in the corner of the room. Roy sat on the sofa in the office’s lounge area, waiting for Zelda, who had called him earlier that morning. Her tone had been serious, making Roy curious about what she wanted to discuss. Soon, the sharp sound of high heels echoed closer. The door opened, revealing Zelda’s elegant figure, as poised as ever. She wore a black blazer over a white blouse, her hair neatly styled, and her expression a mix of confidence and mystery. "Roy, sorry to keep you waiting," Zelda said with a slight smile. Roy stood up, acknowledging her with a light nod. "No problem. Is there something important you want to talk about?" Zelda walked to her desk, took a small sip of her coffee, th
