Seeing that Raymond remained unmoved by her subtle flirtation, Malisa felt a small wave of disappointment rise in her chest. She lowered her eyes for a moment, hiding the faint flicker of embarrassment.

Then she quickly composed herself.

From the little she has known about Raymond she could tell he's not the type to be easily swayed by charm or a playful glance. She should’ve expected this. Still, she had hoped for… something, maybe a reaction, a sign.

But instead, all she got was his quiet calm, his steady voice telling her it was time to go.

She didn't push any further.

Then she stood up, but the Alcohol was beginning to take effect on her now, her legs weren't that strong on the ground anymore.

Immediately Raymond walked closer to her.

“let me help you”

Malisa didn't say anything but agreed.

They stepped out of the warm, romantic glow of the private room and into the softly lit corridor that led back to the restaurant entrance. Just as they turned a corner, heading toward the exit

    Upon hearing what Caleb just said Raymond's jaw tightened a little, he wasn't expecting Caleb to lie so boldly—so shamelessly, right to Dahlia’s face.Standing just a few steps away, he could hear every word. He had no intention of turning back or getting involved further, but Caleb’s voice was impossible to ignore, especially as it dripped with false pride, claiming credit for something he had absolutely no hand in.Then Raymond paused for a second, his expression hardened.Caleb’s tone was smug as he smiled at Dahlia, acting as though he were the hero of the night. “I thought you needed a little lift—something that would make you feel special on your birthday.”Malisa, still by Raymond’s side, shot Caleb a cold glance, her patience snapping. “Unbelievable,” she muttered. “ I can't believe he really said that with a straight face?”Raymond’s voice was low but calm. “Let it go.”“But he’s lying. And she believes him,” Malisa said, frustrated, she saw and heard everything, and she c

    Upon hearing what Jefferson just said, Caleb was stunned, sitting frozen on the cold warehouse floor. His face still burned from Jefferson’s slap, and his heart pounded like a drum in his chest.“Raymond… did all that?” he whispered in disbelief. “Just him alone?”Jefferson stared at him like he was looking at a complete idiot. “Yes! One man. He humiliated me in front of everyone, crushed my uncle with a single technique, and walked out untouched. You told me he was nothing. You said I didn’t need to take him seriously.”Immediately Caleb swallowed hard. He never imagined that the man he once looked down on could be capable of such destruction. How could he have misjudged him so badly?Then Jefferson’s face twisted with more rage. “I should break your legs right here and now. You’re the reason we walked into that disaster blind!”The moment he heard those words, Caleb’s face turned pale.“Wait—no, no, no—please, Jefferson!” Caleb cried, throwing himself on the floor. “Don’t do this

    However, to avoid any unexpected incidents or interference like last time, Jefferson gave a cold, firm order. “Bring Dahlia out tomorrow,” he said to Caleb. “No delays. No mistakes this time. The longer we wait, the more risk we invite. You get one shot.”Caleb, still trembling but eager to prove himself, and out of this situation immediately, he nodded quickly. “Understood. Tomorrow—I’ll handle it personally. Everything will go smoothly.”Jefferson gave him one last glare before waving him off. Caleb turned and hurried out of the warehouse, his mind already spinning with ideas of how to lure Dahlia into the trap without arousing suspicion.As the echo of Caleb’s footsteps faded into the distance, a strange stillness returned to the warehouse.But Jefferson didn’t move.He didn’t even flinch when a faint rustling sound came from the corner, followed by the deliberate, slow steps of someone approaching from the darkness.A shadow emerged—tall, pale, and terrifying.It was Kelly Bushma

    “Master Raymond, just take the card. You’re a trillionaire. If you don’t believe me, go to the bank and check the balance yourself.

After being told to leave for the fifth time, she finally gave up trying to convince Raymond.With a deep bow—practically folding herself in half—she turned and walked out without another word,got in a luxurious sports car.Raymond sighed and gave the card a quick glance before putting it into his pocket casually. Seriously?

    Staring at Raymond’s back, Dahlia’s lips parted slightly, surprise flashing across her face.She hadn’t expected him to let go so easily, without argument or demands.However, for a moment, she felt a pang of loss, a strange emptiness she couldn’t quite name.But she convinced herself that this was the right decision.Their lives were heading in different directions, and there was no point in holding onto a relationship that no longer worked.After leaving the restaurant, Raymond wandered on the street, not knowing where to go.Was money really that important?He clenched his fists and let out a bitter laugh.However at that moment, that woman Sophia's words suddenly occurred to him.“You’re a trillionaire.

    The security guards, tall and imposing in their uniforms, approached quickly.At that moment one of them stepped forward, his expression neutral but authoritative. “Sir, we’ve received a report of an assault. I need you to come with us.”Raymond raised his hands slightly, showing him the card, his voice steady. “I didn’t assault anyone. I’m here to conduct business at this bank.”Seeing the card in his hand, the security guard was shocked and stopped immediately.“A Supreme Black Card?” his eyes widened, skepticism clear in his tone. “Is this true?”This was the highest level card in this bank and this was the first time that he had ever seen it in person.But when looking at Raymond again, he hesitated. He didn’t look like a man who could own such a card at all.At this moment, Dahlia’s mother’s laughter rang out, sharp and cutting through the air like a blade.“Oh come on, stop lying! The supreme black card belongs to the most powerful people in the world. Do you really think anyo

    Dahlia’s mother and sister stood in stunned silence, their faces pale. The weight of Malisa’s words hit them like a hammer, shattering their arrogance into fragments.“Revoked?” Dahlia’s mother stammered, her voice trembling. “you can’t do this,” Dahlia’s sister sputtered, her earlier sneer replaced by wide-eyed disbelief. Her voice cracked, but Malisa’s icy glare stopped her from saying more.Malisa’s lips curled into a faint, cold smile. “I already have.” The scene felt heavier as the gravity of their loss sank in. Membership at this bank wasn’t just about convenience—it was a symbol of status, of power, and losing it was a blow that would echo across their social and business lives. For a family that thrived on connections and reputation, this was devastation.“Madam, please—” Dahlia’s mother begged, her voice faltering, but Malisa’s icy gaze froze her mid-sentence.“Don’t waste my time,” Malisa said sharply, cutting her off. “You’ve already wasted enough of it.”Dahlia’s sister

    His breath caught in his throat as he stared at the screen.He instinctively took a step back. “This… this has to be a mistake.”Malisa, standing beside him, leaned in slightly to confirm the balance for herself.Immediately her eyes widened, but she quickly masked her surprise with a composed smile. “There won't be any mistakes, Mr. Raymond."Raymond leaned back, his mind racing. That woman hadn't lied. He was indeed wealthy, so it meant that what she said about his past might be true…But why did he lose his memory? What happened to him? Was there any conspiracy behind this?His eyes narrowed. He would find these things out and take back everything that belonged to him!Then Raymond glanced at Malisa, gave her a brief nod. “Thanks for stepping in back there. I wasn’t expecting things to get that out of hand.”Malisa offered a polite smile, her tone light yet professional. “It was no big deal, Mr. Raymond. They were completely out of line, and the situation needed to be handled.”

    After Jefferson and Kelly were carried away, the atmosphere outside the venue finally began to settle. The air, once heavy with pressure, now felt light, now breathable. However Raymond didn’t look back. His steps were steady, calm, and unhurried as he walked beside Malisa and Dr. Damien. The chaos they had just walked through seemed like a closed chapter—one Raymond had never been worried about in the first place.At that moment Malisa walked a little closer to him than usual. She didn’t say much, but her eyes kept stealing glances at Raymond’s face. There was something different about him—something deeper than confidence. It was the kind of presence that didn’t need loud words or anger to prove anything. It was the way he remained calm even when everyone else was panicking. That kind of strength couldn't be taught. It could only be earned.However Dr. Damien, on the other hand, was not as quiet.At that moment he cleared his throat softly, as if preparing to ask something importan

    After a brief pause—He nodded. “Fine. I'll accept.” As soon as Raymond took his seat, a man stepped forward hesitantly. It was Zachary. Now—His expression was filled with deep regret. With a polite bow, he took out a black-and-gold bank card and presented it to Raymond. “Dr.Raymond… I was wrong.” His voice was humble, sincere. “I shouldn't have exchanged words with you or doubted you. Please accept this as my apology—there are ten of millions of dollars in this account. Take it as a token of my sincerity.”His hands trembled slightly as he held out the card, the weight of his misjudgment evident in his downcast eyes.Knowing fully well he needs to build a good relationship with Raymond Now, because someone of his capability must be kept close.At that moment Raymond studied Zachary's face. For a brief second, he considered rejecting the money outright. He had no need for it. But then—A thought crossed his mind. Raymond suddenly remembered something. “Dahlia.” She had been forced to a

He defeated Kelly Bushman!” “Such power… such skill…” Their voices blended into a roar of praise.“In all my forty years of medicine, I've never witnessed such mastery,” called out an elderly doctor from the front row, his weathered hands trembling as he applauded.At that moment Dr. Damien, who had been defending Raymond from the start, felt his chest swell with pride, without being told he knew he made the right decision for wanting to learn under Raymond. His eyes shone, his hands trembling slightly as he applauded.

    But then—Everything changed.A cold, piercing light filled Raymond's eyes.He had seen enough.“Enough of this madness,” Raymond's voice cut through the chaos, quiet yet somehow heard by all.With a deep breath, he reached into the core of his power—And the ancient energy hidden within his ring responded.At that moment a sudden howl of wind erupted from his body, tearing through the hall like a raging tempest.Lightning snaked through the air, its bright tendrils crackling with divine fury.Immediately The spirits—once unstoppable—Hesitated.Their shrieks faltered as they felt an overwhelming force descend upon them.The entire venue shuddered under the sheer power Raymond had unleashed.“Impossible!” Kelly shouted, his confidence cracking for the first time. “No one can stand against my dark arts!, how come the nobody was defeating them easily.”At that moment Raymond gaze landed on Malisa, In a single blink of motion, Raymond dashed to Malisa, his speed far beyond human limits.Ag

    Upon hearing what Kelly just said Before anyone could react—Kelly bit down hard on his tongue.“CRACK!”The sound of flesh tearing echoed through the hall.A stream of blood gushed from his mouth—But instead of falling to the ground, it hovered in the air, twisting into a sinister red mist.Seeing what just happened the crowd staggered back in horror.“What dark magic is this?” gasped an old doctor, his eyes wide with fear.Then, with trembling hands, Kelly pulled out something even more terrifying.“A black bone vial.”“No!”shouted a woman from the back. “That's forbidden!
