CHAPTER 173
Asher had arrived at one of Dixon’s warehouses before returning to the office, after finishing his visit to the BOWWS company. He stepped forward with authority, the suit he had worn earlier already gone somewhere. The sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up to his elbows.Meanwhile, Kailos chose to stay outside the warehouse, busy with his work. Inside, Joseph stood beside a young blond-haired man—his condition was truly pitiful—covered in wounds everywhere.“Joseph, did you do all of this?” Asher looked in disbelief at the man’s condition.After all, he had only ordered the capture of the rat who had sabotaged every call with clients. Even a profitable contract had been leaked to another company. However, seeing the condition directly made Asher curve a small smile with a hint of pity in his gaze.“My apologies, Sir. Before I captured him, he already looked like this,” Joseph replied.The young man lifted his head, a cynical smile forming on his face as Asher stepped closer. “You

Asher’s eyebrows lifted slightly. He was not surprised, but there was a brief cold glint in his eyes. “If you wanted to contact me, you should have gone through Kailos,” he said casually. “That is what confuses me,” Jonathan replied. “I already asked for Kailos’s number. My secretary even came directly to Dixon. The request for a meeting never arrived. It was as if it stopped halfway.” Silence briefly enveloped the room. Asher looked at the surface of the table, then smiled faintly, as if hearing a joke that was far too stale. “Well,” Asher joked lightly, “it seems there are quite a lot of people who want Dixon to look bad in the public eye.” Jonathan chuckled briefly, but his eyes remained alert. “Dixon is indeed too visible. Your company surged, absorbed labor, and helped hold the country’s economy. On top of that, your current position is close to Pervaz.” Jonathan shrugged. “In our world, that is already enough to make many parties uncomfortable.” Asher did not respond immed
CHAPTER 171
Asher arrived right on time. Mac & Mocz Restaurant stood quietly behind tall glass walls, and the scent of peppermint mixed with expensive wine greeted him as soon as the door opened. Asher had not gone far when Jonathan appeared from the opposite direction. They stopped almost at the same time, looked at each other for a moment, then shook hands. Jonathan’s grip was firm, without hesitation, as if this meeting had been calculated from the very beginning. They entered the private room that had already been reserved. The door closed tightly, leaving behind a silence that felt expensive. Meanwhile, their secretaries waited outside, exchanging greetings and having lunch together. Jonathan welcomed him with a warm smile. “I did not expect us to meet again after such a long time,” Jonathan said as he sat down. “It is just unfortunate that we meet during a project crisis like this.” Jonathan’s tone sounded light, but his eyes were far too calm to be called mere small talk. Asher returned
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
