Bang! The iron gate shattered instantly, followed by the screech of tires scraping the stone courtyard of Tavares' residence. About ten cars stopped in unison—sleek black vehicles that radiated an air of threat. Doors opened, and one by one, large men in dark suits and black sunglasses stepped out, forming a formation like elite military bodyguards. Among them, two figures walked in front. Laotaro. The King of the Underworld. His steps were firm, his long coat billowing in the night wind. Beside him, Alyssa walked quickly, her face tense. Both of their expressions radiated restrained fury—cold, dangerous. Laotaro stopped at the front of the courtyard. His gaze swept over the place like a blade slicing through flesh. Tavares’ men, who had just recovered from their frozen fear, approached with lowered heads. “I… I didn’t expect that he was the one who

The morning sky was clear, but the air felt slightly different. Hansen drove his new car toward campus—a sleek black sports sedan with an elegant design and a deep yet smooth engine sound. The vehicle drew attention the moment it entered the university gate. Some students in the courtyard turned their heads. A few stopped walking, whispering and pointing at the car. "Who's that? A new professor?" "No. Looks like a student too. But that car… Damn." Hansen gave a slight smile behind the tinted windows and turned the wheel toward the student parking area. But just as he was about to enter the nearest parking slot, another car sped in from the side, rudely cutting in and taking the space with a harsh screech of tires and a quick honk. Hansen exhaled slowly and stepped out of his car. From the other car, a man in an expensive shirt with an arrogant face emerged—Candra. His face briefly froze in shock when he saw who got out of the luxury car. "...Hansen?" Candra's eyes wid

After the intense seminar, the atmosphere at Uraya City’s Medical Faculty was still far from calm. Students exited the auditorium whispering to each other, talking about one name that had suddenly become the center of attention.“Hansen… that guy is fearless.”“I thought he was just a lucky dude hanging around Lauren… turns out he's sharp as a blade.”Meanwhile, inside the staff room, the Professional Team gathered. Dr. Ravel stood by the window, looking out at the campus garden that was starting to empty.“He’s too smart for his level,” he muttered quietly.Ethan, seated with arms crossed, stared straight ahead. “Too talkative, you mean.”“Don’t underestimate someone who can find flaws in your presentation,” said the bespectacled man who had previously defended Ethan. “And don’t forget the look on the professors' faces when Hansen spoke.”Dr. Ravel gave a faint smile. “If he’s really that good... why don’t we test him?”

Hansen’s car glided smoothly away from the campus area, cruising along the gradually quieting evening streets. Inside the cabin, the atmosphere felt comfortable. His car’s interior was luxurious yet clean and well-organized, with a faint mint leaf scent wafting from the dashboard air freshener. Chelsea sat beside him, gazing at the road through the window. A smile still lingered on her lips. "Honestly... I didn’t expect you to take on that challenge," she said softly, breaking the silence. Hansen smiled faintly, keeping his focus on the road. "I didn’t expect all eyes to turn to me afterward either." Chelsea turned, her eyes sparkling. "You were amazing back there. Seriously. All the students are like... fans now." Hansen didn’t respond, but from the corner of his eye, a small smile betrayed his pride. "And you said your car's interior was nice... turns out it’s really smooth to drive too," Che
