CHAPTER 1 : ACCUSATION
CHAPTER 1 : ACCUSATION The evening sky over Crex City was painted in shades of orange, gradually dimming into twilight. The streets were still bustling with people returning from work, including Del Rey. With slow steps, he walked along the sidewalk toward his home, carrying a plastic bag filled with groceries. His right hand still smelled of onions, a lingering scent from his duties as an assistant cook at the restaurant where he worked. Upon reaching the front of his house, Rey sensed something was off. Usually, the laughter of his younger sister, Sitha, or the chatter of his mother, Dania, could be heard from inside. But that evening, there was only silence. The front door was locked, and when Rey knocked, there was no response. "Why is it so quiet?" he muttered. He inserted his key and turned the knob. The door creaked open. The interior of the house felt darker than usual, even though the curtains were not fully drawn. Rey stepped inside, placed the plastic bag on the kit

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 60 : SIDE EFFECTS
CHAPTER 60 : SIDE EFFECTSThe digital clock on the bedside table in Villa Buenos read eight minutes past midnight. A gentle night breeze drifted through the balcony window, fluttering the ends of the white curtain. Roy had just straightened his blanket. His long hair fell over his shoulders, framing the strikingly handsome face of a young man with cold, defined features. He was about to lie down on the plush mattress covered in crisp white linen when his head suddenly began to buzz.Roy frowned. His hand instinctively reached for his left temple. A sharp pain emerged—like thousands of tiny needles gnawing at the inside of his skull. At first, he thought it was mere fatigue, but the more he tried to ignore it, the more intense it became.“Arrgh…” he groaned softly.Roy sat back down on the edge of the bed. His breathing grew laboured. The soft hum of the air conditioner stood in stark contrast to the chaos erupting inside his mind. Within seconds, his thoughts were flooded by fragments

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 59 : TONIGHT’S TROUBLE, SAFE
CHAPTER 59 : TONIGHT’S TROUBLE, SAFEThe clock struck nine when Roy finally handed his car keys to Winny. The streetlights of Crex illuminated her long hair, shimmering like silk, and her pale skin stood in striking contrast to the casual red dress that hugged her slender figure. Roy said little—only a brief nod to signal that she should take the car home."Are you sure you don’t want me to drive you back to the villa?" Winny asked, glancing at him with a hint of hesitation.Roy shook his head. “I’ll go with Ruben. He needs a driver now.”Winny didn’t argue. She knew Roy wasn’t one to explain himself. Without another word, she slipped into Roy’s black Pagani and cruised calmly through the city streets. Meanwhile, Roy walked toward a black SUV parked not far away, where Ruben sat in the front passenger seat, his arm wrapped in a bandage. Though still pale, his condition had improved since earlier that evening.Ruben’s five bodyguards had been taken to hospital with serious injuries aft

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 58 : THE VICIOUS DINNER
CHAPTER 58 : THE VICIOUS DINNERGalaxy Restaurant was known as the luxurious dining spot for Crex City's elite. Its interior boasted a classic design, with crystal chandeliers hanging from high ceilings. The polished white marble floor reflected the silhouettes of well-dressed patrons gliding about in style. But tonight, in the northernmost VIP room, more than fine dining and business talks were on the menu.Roy and Winny were still hiding near the VIP room, where Ruben was located. Five of Ruben’s bodyguards stood tensely in front of the VIP entrance, directly across from two of Bianca’s guards.“Rinos,” Roy spoke softly but firmly. “There are three snipers on the rooftop. Get the boys to handle them. Bing, you and Gerald take position and eliminate them before seven-oh-five.”“Copy that, Boss,” Rinos replied through the direct comms.Bing, wearing a new facial mask complete with a fake beard and a fabricated scar on his left cheek, turned to Gerald, who was already prepared with a b

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 57 : DINNER INVITATION FROM BIANCA
CHAPTER 57 : DINNER INVITATION FROM BIANCAGalaxy Restaurant was bustling tonight. Situated in the heart of Crex's elite district, it occupied the 20th floor of a tall glass building that offered sweeping views of the city from above. The glow of streetlights below, combined with the soft flicker of candles on each table, added a luxurious and romantic feel to the place. But tonight, that atmosphere felt oddly misplaced to Roy.Roy sat calmly in a corner of the restaurant, facing Winny, who looked stunning in an elegant red gown with subtle makeup. Her long hair was neatly coiled, leaving a few strands cascading along her cheek. Around them, guests came and went. None of them knew the young couple were, in fact, infiltrators.Roy wore a dark suit and a grey tie. His sharp features were hidden beneath a synthetic latex mask crafted by Bing, concealing his true identity. From his seat, Roy had a clear view of the restaurant’s entrance. He wasn’t here for a romantic dinner. He was here o

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 56 : VANDRICK'S VISIT
CHAPTER 56 : VANDRICK'S VISITThe clock had struck ten at night when the alarm at the front door of the Buenos villa let out a brief chime. The approaching footsteps were barely audible—except to someone highly trained. Roy was sitting on the second-floor balcony, facing a calm little lake, letting the night breeze tousle his long hair. His chiseled face remained stoic, but his sharp eyes moved quickly to the small screen in his left hand displaying the feed from the surveillance cameras.A silhouette of a man in a long coat and round hat passed swiftly across the screen. Roy recognised him instantly.He descended from the balcony in silence, his steps nearly soundless against the wooden stairs leading to the ground floor. Without needing to command the security system, he unlocked the door using a secret code and allowed his late-night visitor to enter.“Long time no see, Vandrick,” said Roy softly, his tone nearly flat.Vandrick Holt stepped in quickly, shutting the door behind him

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 55 : BUYING A NEW VILLA
CHAPTER 55 : BUYING A NEW VILLAAt ten in the morning, the atmosphere inside the Sales Office of Villa Buenos was calm and professional. The building stood majestically in the heart of Crex’s elite real estate district. Glass walls and gleaming marble floors reflected the opulence of the place. Inside, staff members dressed impeccably, busy attending to high-profile clients—businesspeople, celebrities, and the extraordinarily wealthy.Roy Farlaine walked in with a composed air. His appearance was unmistakable—long hair neatly flowing, his handsome face expressionless yet elegant, and his attire simple but spotless. He wore a light grey shirt with black trousers—formal enough for business dealings, yet comfortably modest. In his hand, he carried a slim folder containing important documents and a digital transfer receipt from his personal account.As Roy entered the main hall, a woman with her hair in a chignon greeted him with a stiff smile.“Good morning. How may I assist you?” she as

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 54 : CLINIC, RESTORED
CHAPTER 54 : CLINIC, RESTOREDAt ten in the morning, sunlight bathed the front yard of the TFT Clinic, now looking grand with its three sturdy floors. The building stood elegantly with a cream-white façade, large glass windows, and a small garden nestled at its centre. A calm atmosphere enveloped the clinic grounds, a stark contrast to the wreckage caused just days prior by the brutal attack from Hory and his gang.Roy stood in front of the main entrance, silently admiring the result of his team’s hard work. Dressed in a simple casual outfit and his synthetic facial mask—sharp and handsome—he looked imposing. Standing beside him were Bing, Rinos, and Elena. Elena wore a crisp white coat and a knee-length skirt. Her long hair was half-tied, revealing her lovely and spirited face.“Elena, what do you think of the new building?” Roy asked, eyes still on the structure.“It’s beautiful… far beyond what I expected. It feels like working in a high-end private hospital,” Elena replied with a

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 53 : A VISIT FOR SORA
CHAPTER 53 : A VISIT FOR SORAAt ten in the morning, the sky over Crex City was veiled by a thin layer of clouds, hanging like a grey curtain. A gentle breeze rustled the trees in the front yard of Sora's residence, the leader of the Sora Fighter martial arts centre. Today marked Roy’s final visit to complete Sora’s full recovery, which had been ongoing for four weeks.Roy stepped out of his black Pagani and gazed at the large traditional-style house with modern touches before him. He wore casual attire—a grey shirt and black trousers—with his long hair untied and his fabricated face displaying its usual stern expression. To most, he appeared as an ordinary man, but hidden beneath that calm, mysterious façade lay immense strength.The front door opened. Winny greeted him with a warm smile. The young woman wore a white training outfit, her hair tied neatly at the back.“You're right on time, Uncle Roy,” she said politely. Once cold and arrogant towards Roy, her attitude had completely

The Fugitive's Touch CHAPTER 52 : A GESTURE
CHAPTER 52 : A GESTUREThe clock struck seven in the evening when the hum of a car engine resonated in front of Villa 7 Bukit Raung. Roy, lounging in the living room with Gerald, Bing, and several of his men, instinctively glanced toward the window.A knock at the villa's door followed. Shortly after, Jacky, stationed at the entrance, promptly opened it. The sound of women's heels echoed as she entered. Her long, flowing black hair, gentle face adorned with a warm smile, and slender, graceful figure rendered the villa's atmosphere suddenly silent."Elena?" Roy stood up, surprised and somewhat puzzled.The young woman offered a sweet smile. "Sorry to disturb you at this hour, Roy.""Oh, no… you're not disturbing at all," Roy responded quickly.Gerald and Bing exchanged glances, signaling the others to give them some space. Some retreated to the kitchen, while others busied themselves tidying up the room. Roy's gaze shifted to Elena, then to the large tote bag she carried."I've heard t
