After this series of words were said, the atmosphere of the meeting room became silent. Mr. Graysen was silent for a while until he finally looked at Felix, who also happened to be looking at him boldly and honestly."I saw him a few times on the internet. He does look stunning, but not that perfect," Mr. Graysen said honestly. His facial expression did not change at all as he said this while looking at Felix. "He still has many flaws, and that makes him a minus point if he wants to join a big company. Perhaps for a class under the Vogue Group, it could be considered. But for a company like mine, I wouldn't think twice about rejecting him. No, I probably wouldn't even think about it for a second."Instantly, Felix became rigidly silent. He was choked up, and his mind suddenly went blank. For the first time, he was being criticized in a way that he found very sharp.His gaze fixed on Mr. Graysen still did not flicker, and he silently muttered to himself, "This is what it feels like to
As Felix was about to leave the company building, he was stopped by a burly man wearing a black suit with a device in his ear."Mr. Felix, Mr. Graysen asked me to accompany you," the man said.Felix looked at him and replied, "I can manage alone. You go with the others."After that, he was about to continue his walk. However, the man stopped him again. "Things are getting more serious, and there are some things you don't know. So you should be with me."Felix was frustrated. But when he saw his bright gaze with his stubborn expression, he finally turned his face away and sighed softly. Afterward, he looked back at the man in front of him and nodded reluctantly. "Alright. Let's go!"Without waiting any longer, Felix immediately ran away.The man hurried to follow.When he saw Felix continue to run past the car he had prepared, he entered his car and started it in a hurry.Feeling no one was following, Felix frowned slightly but didn't want to think too much about it. If the man wasn't
As for the one who had everyone worried, he was running on his long legs tirelessly. Sweat was already soaking Felix's hair and neck, but strangely, it made him look even sexier. His good looks were increasing by leaps and bounds even though his breathing was ragged from running so far.Once on the main road, Felix stopped running and stared at the road with his breath rising and falling irregularly. "I can't. I have to find a taxi and head to the hotel. That guy must have realized that I left and he'll come looking for me soon. I have to leave before he finds me."He turned his head right and left to stop the taxi. But unfortunately, after several attempts, none of them would stop."Hah, never mind, it's too long to wait for this taxi to empty." With that, he turned around and started running again."EasySync, is there a faster way to get to the Harmony Hotel?" Felix asked.[Searching the map.][Found the location.][You can turn right on the small road after passing the flower shop.
Felix was startled and stiffly turned to Mr. Ferdi. "You... why did you do that?""I was bored and didn't know what to do. Besides, when I wanted to find you, I didn't know where your house was," Mr. Ferdi replied indifferently.Felix was instantly dumbfounded. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. And after a moment of silence, he asked carefully. "Why don't you go home? Is your house nearby?"But instead of answering, Mr. Ferdi snorted and walked away.Seeing that, Felix didn't understand. But he hurried after him and asked again, "Was my question too presumptuous?"Mr. Ferdi sighed softly and replied, "Not at all.""Then why didn't you answer it?" Felix's tone became much more relaxed. He acted as if Mr. Ferdi was really his friend, who was not much different from him in age. "Isn't it natural for a friend to know about his friend's home address? Besides, if I don't know it, what if you miss me one day and want to see me?""To be honest, I'm not a native of this city," Felix co
Mr. Ferdi's face, which had been shining with happiness, turned into confusion. He took a few steps back, and Mr. Graysen's grip slipped."Father?" Mr. Graysen was also confused and took a step forward to reach Mr. Ferdi again.However, Mr. Ferdi moved to the side first and hid behind Felix. His head poked out, and he asked, "Who are you?"Mr. Graysen's expression changed with a gaze filled with sadness. He opened his mouth to speak but failed to do so. Finally, he lowered his hand and smiled faintly. "I am your son. Graysen. Don't you remember?"Mr. Ferdi's eyes flickered, and he looked deep in thought. "Graysen?"Then he looked at Felix's back and tugged on his sleeve. "Felix, do you know? Is he really my son or not?"Felix, who had been quietly silent, sighed softly. If he secretly did not know the truth, how could he know about it?Mr. Graysen's gaze immediately turned to Felix. His face looked surprised and also full of guilt. "Felix, I'm sorry. I was so worried about my father t
"I really didn't know that he was a Great Lord." Mr. Zay looked at Guan Graysen and Mr. Ferdi in turn. His normally relaxed face now looked tense with his body tensed up. "If I had known, I wouldn't have let him go and sent him straight home. Sorry."Mr. Graysen looked at him helplessly and said earnestly. "Mr. Zay, it's okay. Didn't I say earlier that none of this is your fault? Never mind, the important thing is that my father is back."But Mr. Zay still shook his head. He grimaced softly and continued to curse himself inwardly. "But still. If I had known last night, I would have at least taken him to the hotel and wouldn't have let him go alone."The more he thought about it, the more guilty Mr. Zay felt.Even though it wasn't winter, the night breeze was still cold. Especially for an old man like Mr. Ferdi. Especially last night, his clothes... Mr. Zay lowered his gaze and again said, "I can't recognize the Great Master very well. Sorry."Mr. Graysen felt helpless again and finall
After dinner, Mr. Graysen forced Felix and Mr. Zay to stay the night. However, both of them politely refused. Mr. Graysen, who already liked Felix, certainly didn't let him go easily. He continued to insist and even brought Mr. Ferdi along. As a result, Mr. Ferdi really wanted them to stay overnight.With this kind of encouragement, Felix and Mr. Zay certainly have no other choice but to accept. In the end, they stayed for one night and returned to the hotel in the morning.Even so, Mr. Graysen's offer to make Felix his son-in-law continued. Mr. Zay honestly felt uncomfortable with it, so, after the last meeting ended, he asked Felix to pack his bags."Didn't you say you wanted to take a vacation in about two days? Why do you suddenly want to go straight home?" Felix asked confused.Mr. Zay averted his eyes, looked around Felix's neat, untouched room, and said quietly. "I just miss my children."Felix tilted his head, looking at him quizzically but saying nothing.Feeling that gaze, M
In his hotel room, Felix was dragging his suitcase by the door. Just then, the cell phone he hadn't used for two days suddenly rang. He stopped in his tracks and picked it up. Seeing Ardo's name on it, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.But even so, he accepted it. "What's wrong?"When he heard Felix's voice, Ardo's eyes widened. Immediately, he spoke excitedly. "Felix! You finally accepted it too! Something's going on here!"Felix's face instantly changed. "What's wrong?""Your ex-wife is acting up again! She keeps yelling your name and now, her husband is out! They're fighting in front of the gate!" Ardo's voice kept rising in panic. He occasionally looked at his laptop and peeked at the main door.Benton who was watching the CCTV footage unconsciously nodded.The slight anxiety that had been on Felix's face now disappeared without a trace. His handsome face became flat with a cold stare.Feeling no response from Felix, Ardo spoke again. "Yesterday, we were reprimanded by the sec
"Welcome, Mr. Felix!" But strangely, everyone there immediately bowed and exclaimed in unison. Even the person asking irritably now seemed to have a great deal of respect for Felix.Seeing them like that, Felix secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least the people here were easy to organize, making him calmer.Levi, who had been worried that they would attack Felix, slowly stepped forward with a smile and shouted sternly. "Everyone, please pay close attention to Mr. Felix, and don't miss a single word he says!""Okay!"Then Bobby stepped forward and handed Felix a folder. Before opening it, Felix looked at the dozens of men standing in front of him and then divided them into groups of five. Everything went smoothly, and they changed places obediently without causing any commotion."I've tidied up all your work. So now, let's start with the people you've taken property from," Felix said as he opened the folder and looked at group one. "You guys, go to Mrs. Ina's house! The debt she
Throughout the night, Felix spent his time finding out about the group and making plans for all the problems. It just so happened that Secretary Jorell contacted him so he could easily confirm the matter.The next day, everyone gathered in the living room with serious expressions. Felix, who was standing in front of them, began to speak. "From now on, forget about all the work you've been doing.""Sir." Levi was surprised and was about to give his opinion, but Felix immediately gave him a sharp look, so the man abandoned his intention."What you've done to them, we must fix it individually. But still, you can't show yourself in front of them. Do it quietly. Then, for the work that hasn't been done, just do it as it should be. There should be no force or violence. Do you understand?" Felix's gaze swept over everyone in front of him.However, none of them dared to speak up. Until Levi finally said, "Sir, can it be done? Maybe you don't know, but what we've done is not only limited to ta
"Sir, this is the list of members we have," Levi said as he handed a red folder to Felix, sitting with his legs crossed on the single sofa.Felix accepted it. But, having just looked at the first page, he immediately closed it and threw it on the table in front of him. "I don't know them, so I don't care about the names. Don't make me waste time, Levi! Get to the point!""Sorry, sir." Levi looked down guiltily and then turned to pick up a black folder held by one of his colleagues and handed it to Felix. "This is a list of our work so far. But here is just the gist of it. As for the explanation, that's in a different folder."Felix nodded vaguely, took it, and opened it. Instantly, his body straightened up with eyes widened in surprise. He stared intently at the writing on the first page and kept repeating it to ensure he hadn't read it wrong. Then he flipped through all the next pages quickly."What is this?" Felix's jaw hardened, and he gave Levi a sharp look as he held up his folde
Felix stood with his gaze directed forward. His face was filled with disbelief as well as frustration. "Why?""That's what I should have asked you. Why did you just show up? Where have you been that you didn't know about us?" The man who had opened the door replied to Felix's words seriously.He stood to the right, in a row with five other men. Their appearance was the same. However, the accessories worn by the other five men were fewer than the man. It proved that his position was higher than theirs.Felix shook his head in surprise.His brain, which usually worked quickly, suddenly became empty and difficult to think.The man, whose name he didn't know yet, admitted that he was the head of a group founded by the elders of the Pratama family. His members numbered in the hundreds and were scattered in several places. However, over the past year, several people left the group because they felt that they were no longer on the same path.Those people were Bobby, Mason, Wyatt, Tristan, an
Felix frowned with a look of wariness in his eyes. "Who are you?"However, instead of answering, the person on the other end of the line chuckled softly. Of course, that made Felix chuckle. He really didn't like this kind of small talk. He didn't know who this person was, but it was clear that he was an annoying person and not easy to deal with."Using someone else's cell phone is very rude. Give it back to him, and let me talk to him!" Felix commanded warningly."Oh? Unfortunately, he's not someone else to me. Sir, aren't you too ignorant? You don't even recognize your employees. I'm always waiting for you and expecting you to reach out to the stranded me, but you don't even ask how I'm doing." The man rambled dramatically, making Felix's expression turn grim.What did he mean?He always cared for his employees and never neglected them. But this obscure person was calling him bad names. This was defamation!He didn't even know who this person was, but how could he claim to be his emp
"Ah, that, he's already gone. But he really helped me earlier. It's just that his attitude was too cold, so he just left," replied Grace, who then smiled with a happy face, remembering Felix's handsome face that was so charming.Olivia just nodded slowly. However, when she looked at Grace to invite her to go home, she immediately frowned in surprise at her behavior. "What's wrong with you?""Oh? Nothing." A surprised Grace shook her head. Her hand returned to Olivia's arm and led her away. "I owe him a favor, and I hope we can meet again.""Didn't you just say thank you?" asked Olivia in surprise.Grace shook her head quickly with a restrained smile. She looked even more blushing. "I did. But I want to see him again. He's the man of my dreams. I think we might just be soul mates."Upon hearing this, Olivia, who had been staring strangely at the girl beside her, burst into laughter. She even stopped her steps. Her crisp laughter sounded annoying to Grace's ears, making the girl scowl i
Unfortunately, what was expected did not match reality. What Felix thought would be a short time turned out to be a very long time because the thief was so clever at escaping.Felix chased tirelessly, but the pickpocket also kept running through the small streets and kept turning randomly. Sometimes, he even jumped over walls and climbed trees, much to Felix's annoyance.Finally, Felix stopped his steps with his gaze fixed on the man's back. He was breathing hard, with his face contorted with annoyance. "This is the first time I've met such a strong villain.""If this keeps up, I won't be able to complete the mission," he continued with a soft sigh."EasySync, exchange my points for an incredible running speed!" he commanded then.Ting![Command received.][Processing order.][5000 points exchanged for running power successfully performed.][Master, please!]Felix smiled wryly at that. His eyes became sharp. "This time, you won't be able to get away from me, damn it."After that, he m
The chaos frightened many, especially those with debt agreements with the mysterious group.This situation was more dire than the previous days. They felt crushed. Even if they could pay off all their debts, they could not settle them easily because they did not know much about the group.The group had no specific identity, and no one knew exactly where they were. They would come as they pleased and leave without a trace, without being contacted again.If this continues, everyone could experience mental distress as they drown in their fears. The group was like a real terror that haunted everyone in debt."Fortunately, the house was empty, so there were no victims involved," said a man clutching his chest and breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that the fire that had engulfed the house had been extinguished. "I was so scared earlier."The man next to him nodded with a pale face. "I felt like I couldn't even breathe. I can't imagine what it would be like if the owner was inside. The
"Is there still no word from Felix?" asked Miles, who was now sitting at the dining table, facing Benton with a beer can in his hand. "You guys are so close, more like family. Did he really not tell you anything?""No," replies Benton, sighing softly. "If we knew, we wouldn't have hidden it. It seems like he's really angry this time.""I've never seen him angry in all this time, and even I always imagined how he would react when angry. But I didn't expect that... he's so scary like this," Benton continued, staring straight at the table in front of him with his blank stare.Perhaps if he had known that Felix's anger would be carried out by leaving without news, he would never have imagined or wanted it.It was tantamount to punishing those left behind, even worse than throwing a punch.Miles takes a deep breath and sips his beer. His gaze wandered in the other direction, and he muttered, "Where the hell is he?"Then he remembered something and hit the table with his clenched fist. His
