CHAPTER 170
Asher stared at the files in front of him with a cynical gaze. Unexpectedly, the real estate project that Jonathan collaborated with was on the brink of collapse due to its own directors’ actions. These rats were truly greedy—already holding positions with fairly high salaries, yet still searching for scraps that could endanger their own jobs.“Was the person responsible for this real estate project Joshua Herbzy?”After remaining silent for a while, Asher finally spoke while looking at Kailos, who was seated across from him.Kailos nodded as he answered, “Yes, Mr. Herbzy was responsible. He also managed the supervisory team, but there was something suspicious in the selection of construction materials.”Kailos handed several sheets of paper to Asher so his boss could see how the real estate project was progressing.“Had Jonathan contacted us before?” Asher asked without lifting his face, his eyes deeply focused on the sentences and data written on the papers.“I had already contacted

CHAPTER 169
Asher sat leaning back in a chair beside Joseph’s gurney. His hospital clothes had been replaced with a white shirt and dress pants. The pain in his upper arm had eased, although he still needed medication to recover fully. His arms were crossed over his chest as he waited for the man lying there to open his eyes. Asher’s mind was very busy. He was guessing whether his other men were able to capture Waldric or not. There had been no message yet about Waldric’s arrest. There was only one message from Aberon regarding the relationship between Aldric and Kaylery. “Si–Sir!” Joseph’s startled voice pulled Asher back to reality. He looked toward Joseph, who was trying to sit up from his lying position. However, Asher quickly stopped him and made Joseph lie back down. “Don’t push yourself, Joseph,” Asher said as he sat back down, adjusting his position. “Yes, Sir. I’m sorry for troubling you,” Joseph said, feeling embarrassed. “Focus on healing yourself first,” Asher said, his gaze sti
CHAPTER 168
“You trusted your father, right?” Asher spoke, even though Aldric was like that, the middle-aged man Asher had met several times truly loved Alicia. Asher was certain that Aldric was now trying to clean up the chaos that had happened. He was even sure that Aldric would not stay silent if he was kicked around in political circles. Aldric surely held keys or secrets of the elites.Alicia fell silent; she did not know either. She used to believe in him, even made her father her role model. However, since the infidelity scandal surfaced, her trust had declined.“Just trust your father. He would try for you, don’t think about other problems. Heal yourself first, after that let’s live together,” Asher replied soothingly while holding Alicia’s hand.A warm and calming feeling settled in Alicia’s heart. She looked at Asher with admiration. The man she once met by the roadside, the stiff man who only talked about business, now spoke so gently and attentively.While Asher was feeling a butterf
CHAPTER 167
Asher’s body felt stiff, pain slowly spreading every time he unconsciously shifted his fingers. His eyelids fluttered before finally opening, slowly adjusting to the overly bright white light. The smell of medicine immediately rushed in, cold and bitter, making his chest rise and fall more deeply. “Asher… Asher!” The voice was faint, but familiar enough to pull Asher fully back. His vision blurred for a moment, then Alicia’s figure appeared at the edge of his sight, standing beside the bed, her face pale but real. “Alicia…” Asher’s voice sounded hoarse, almost inaudible. He tried to sit up. His muscles resisted, sharp pain flaring instantly. Alicia reflexively held Asher’s shoulder, but before she could push him further, the door opened. A doctor and a nurse entered with quick steps—the emergency call had been pressed by Alicia seconds earlier. “Stay calm,” the doctor said after a brief examination. A small flashlight was directed into Asher’s eyes, then toward the monitor beside
CHAPTER 166
Satisfied with the discussion with his father, he left and returned to his room only to change his clothes. The suit was replaced with a dark jacket, and the watch was adjusted one notch. A few minutes later, he was already sitting in the car with Joseph. The engine started, city lights were left behind, and the road led toward a pier far from home. Toward a place where iron and saltwater mixed.Rows of shipping containers stood like steel graves. The giant boxes were rusted at the corners, large enough to swallow a human in silence, cold, and indifferent to the activity outside. Asher stepped into one of the blue containers.Inside, the hanging light cut through the darkness. The smell of metal and faint antiseptic mixed together. Waldric sat tied to a chair, his face already treated—bandages neatly attached—though the swelling had not fully gone down. Waldric lifted his eyes, greeting Asher with a smile that was far too calm for someone in that condition.“You are already very pitif
