Only then did Haris come to his senses. He withdrew his hand and backed away awkwardly. He did his best to restore his fierce expression. "No, forget it! It's just a natural reaction because I don't have a child. That guy named Ardo looks pathetic to dare claim someone else as his parent."In any case, Felix's arrival here was well-prepared. Having finally found an opportunity, how could he just let it go?Felix's face slowly turned serious with a sharp gaze fixed straight at Haris. "Ardo wouldn't have become like that if you hadn't left him."Haris' mouth opened with widened eyes. He pointed angrily at Felix. "What do you mean? Stop talking nonsense, Felix! I already said it: Ardo is not my son! Who abandoned him, huh? My wife and I have our difficulties, too. Do you really think we want to do this? You... you don't know anything about us, so don't just talk!"Felix's jet-black eyes lit up slightly at his words."I tried to receive you earlier because I thought you were a guest with
Felix moved his head in confusion. "Not according to plan?"Afraid that Felix would think otherwise and misunderstand him, Haris quickly explained, "We love Ardo very much. Like I said before. Having a happy family, who wouldn't want that? So do we. But, our wish for that didn't go smoothly. And so, here we are."But even so, Felix still didn't understand.He looked at Haris and Diana in turn and remembered Ardo's accident. Finally, he asked, "Wait, Ardo once said that he doesn't remember anything about his past. Does that have anything to do with the accident he had?"Haris and Diana were both surprised."You, how did you know about that?" Haris asked with wide eyes.Instantly, Felix swallowed. It looked like he had made a wrong move. Despite that, his facial expression did not change at all. After a moment of silence, Felix answered, "I've heard about it. But I forget who it was from."Couldn't he have said that it was from an invisible system?Haris and Diana's faces gradually rela
After searching everywhere, Felix couldn't find what he was looking for.A thin sweat appeared on his temples, and his brow furrowed. He straightened up, looked around his small room, and muttered, "Why isn't it there? I remember I used to keep it in this room."Arista was unlikely to take it because he had never told her about the letters, especially after seeing the change in her demeanor. Felix didn't want to take any chances and chose to hide it.However, unexpectedly, after years of hiding, he now lost it."No, I have to look for it again." With that, Felix went back to opening the drawers one by one.Since the letters were placed in a wooden box, their presence must have been prominent and easily visible.After again seeing that all the drawers were empty, Felix moved to the bed. He squatted down and looked down, peering underneath.His forehead immediately creased faintly when he saw a large box at the far end. "What's that?"Not really remembering what he had put under the bed
Felix gazed at the magnificent building in front of him with a satisfied look. After a few days, he could finally see his new home. Feeling quite satisfied with the front yard, Felix slowly stepped up the stairs and pushed the main door wide open, revealing the charming interior of the house. Everything was decorated in gold and white, making it look radiant yet soothing. Although the house Ardo and Benton lived in was very nice, it was not to his taste, unlike this house. Felix smiled happily and murmured, "Welcome to my palace." Then, he walked to the living room sofa and sat down gently. "I don't think it needs to be replaced," Felix said as he leaned back and patted the handle to see if it was comfortable. He slowly closed his eyes and unconsciously fell asleep. Meanwhile, at Haris' house, the two were still in the living room, hugging each other and crying. "I always miss him, but... He must have suffered a lot." Diana spoke while crying, making her cough recur. However, s
Mr. Zay's tightly knit eyebrows softened slightly. He looked at the servant beside him and said, "Take him to the side courtyard! I will see him in a moment.""Yes, my lord." The servant bowed obediently and left quickly.After that, Lord Zay's gaze returned to his children. Those who had raised their heads in curiosity instantly lowered their heads deeply."Don't get happy just yet! You guys go to your rooms and don't even think about running away! Remember, the question I asked you earlier still applies. Wait until I'm done talking to Felix, and don't act up. Do you understand?" Mr. Zay suddenly raised his voice in his last sentence, making them once again flinch in surprise."Understood, Father," Clarita replied in a lazy voice.Mr. Zay's anger returned. "Got it?"Chloe spontaneously closed her eyes as she was continuously startled by her father's voice. Even Caitlin was about to cry again. Her small lips trembled, and her tears welled up. Austin, who saw that, quietly shifted hims
A confidant who does something about the family? Mr. Zay's brow furrowed slightly, realizing the seriousness of this question.He looked at Felix intently and then looked down, trying to dig into his memory about this. Until finally, he nodded. "I had one person. But he quit a long time ago because he wanted to take care of his elderly parents."Felix's heart suddenly tightened.If that person was the same person who met Haris and Diana, then it was true that Ardo was Mr. Zay's son who went missing after the accident. However, judging from the pressure Mr. Zay was under and his efforts to find his son to the point of being deceived by others, it was clearly impossible that it was Mr. Zay himself.All this time, he could clearly see the emotions in his eyes. The sadness and loss were not contrived at all.A subordinate would not dare to do such a thing without specific orders from a superior. Mr. Zay was an only child, and his parents had passed away long ago, of course, this was a no
Instantly, the dining table became silent.Chloe glanced at her father and sister in turn and shrank her neck, trying to minimize her presence. Autin and Caitlin didn't dare make any noise either. Both of them knew clearly what was going on, so they lowered their heads and shrank their bodies out of sight."Father, I-" Clarita was speechless."Why, aren't you also my daughter? Compared to Chloe, you're more suitable for that position. However, for now, you're still second only to me. Clarita, you're no longer a child. Are you going to keep playing around like this forever?" Mr. Zay's gaze dimmed slightly, and looked at Clarita helplessly.He loved his children dearly, but they were always playing with the limits of his patience. The dilemma of being a single parent made him sometimes think it would be better if his children had an understanding and caring nature.Clarita was stunned. She pulled her gaze away and looked down, playing with her hands on her thighs. "Father.""I'm not for
After introducing Felix to the team he would be working with today, Mr. Barnes ordered someone to move the chairs so that he could watch Felix's first photoshoot.Felix was quite shy and unused to it. Especially since Mr. Barnes was sitting right next to the photographer. Just thinking about it was unbearable, so Felix looked at Mr. Barnes and said, "Sir, I'm fine. You can continue your work without worry. I can handle it."But Mr. Barnes remained motionless and waved a hand, telling Felix to leave. "I have no urgent work to do. My priority right now is to see your first photo shoot."Felix's mouth twitched, and finally chose to enter the dressing room.The photographer setting up his camera smiled and looked at Mr. Barnes. "Looks like you're very close to him."Mr. Barnes chuckled and looked in the direction Felix had gone. "I still want to get closer to him. He's very attractive. You know, he has a unique charm that endears him to many Leaders. Even Group Leader Zay claims him as hi
"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
