Chad clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His breath caught in his throat, and his eyes, which now seemed to tremble, looked at Chris as if trying to penetrate his mind. “You...” His voice broke, sounding hoarse as if he was holding back a lump of anger in his chest. “You destroyed all the bottles of Angel's Ale?”

The room seemed to freeze. The noise from the bar faded away, leaving only the tension between them. Chris fell silent, his back stiffening like a wall about to collapse. He tried to find words, but his tongue was tongue-tied.

“Answer!” Chad rebuked in a booming voice. The echo of his snarl swept through the bar, making everyone there hold their breath. His face, with its wrinkles of age, now radiated a disappointment that could not be hidden.

Chris looked down, his gaze fixed on the floor sticky with spilled drinks. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if the burden hanging in

    Although Chris's head was bent, his body was still rigid, as if he was holding back something he had yet to say. Chris's forehead wrinkled, a sign of suppressed resistance. For a moment, he opened his mouth, but only a mumble came out, “How can someone like that-” His words were cut short when a hand flew over and tapped him lightly on the back of the head.Chad stood up straight, eyes narrowed sharply at Chris. There was no need for words, his gaze was enough to convey searing anger. “Don't you dwell on something that will trouble you later!”Chris bowed his head deeper, his mouth tight, as if afraid to let the air out. His eyes were fixed on the floor, right in front of Harvey's feet. His heart pounded, his body trembled - something felt wrong, but he couldn't decipher it. His hands began to droop, dizziness spread slowly, making all thoughts locked in the darkness.Chad grunted as he looked at Harvey. His gaze became uncomfortable on Harvey, after all, Harvey should have gotten goo

    In the evening, Harvey walked quietly after conducting business at a hotel together with Neuron. With sure steps he headed for the elevator to the parking lot.After pressing the button for the basement floor, he held his chin in thought for a moment. After he talked a lot with Neuron, it turned out that Neuron had not lost his genius even after a long separation with Harvey. His logical and sharp way of thinking made Harvey like him. Although sometimes he was manipulative for his own pleasure.The incident at Chad's bar wouldn't have been as suspenseful if Harvey had taken over, but Neuron's manipulation makes the incident more drama. And more surprisingly, the factor of him making Harvey's position strong in front of Chris without making Neuron suspicious.Harvey exhaled with a faint smile. “Psycho-”When Harvey said the word “psycho”, the elevator doors suddenly opened. In front of the elevator stood a woman with a frown. It seemed like she had heard something Harvey had said. With

    Harvey raised one eyebrow slowly, a small movement that felt like a sharp warning. His lips formed a thin line, as if every word that would come out had to be chosen carefully. He stared at the woman with sharp piercing eyes, like a gust of cold wind hitting the skin. The air felt heavy, making the woman jerk back half a step.“Excuse me?” he said in a low but stressful tone, as if each syllable contained a hidden threat. “I don't know who you are and your words are too harsh.”Harvey turned his face away, his gaze falling on the flashing digital numbers near the elevator button. He stood straight, barely moving, with a flat expression that left no room for pleasantries. His breathing remained regular, as if whatever was happening around him was none of his business.“I don't have time to watch movies,” he said quietly, yet coldly, like a blade of ice against skin.On the other hand, Emma felt the nape of her neck crawl. Something about the man's voice made her heart beat faster than

    “Killian, you're too slow!”Choi sighed loudly, glaring at his young companion who was hobbling around carrying a tool bag. His face looked impatient, one hand on his waist, while his head tilted to the side, staring at Killian as if the man had just made a fatal mistake. “Hurry up! The people in the elevator must be panicking!”Killian, a young technician who had only been on the job for ten days, broke into an awkward little trot. His breathing was slightly labored, and cold sweat began to break out on his temples. Arriving in front of Choi, he grinned hesitantly, his fingers scratching the back of his head. “Sorry, Mr. Choi. I went to the restroom first.”Choi closed his eyes for a moment, then let out a long breath like a tired parent dealing with a wayward child. With a resigned expression, he just shook his head lightly. “Never mind, hurry up! The elevator is on the fourth floor. If they panic, we'll get sprayed first.”The two of them broke into a small run towards the elevator

    Harvey raised both eyebrows, looking at the woman before him with interest. Earlier, the woman had been rude to him, even accusing him baselessly. However, now there was something different in the look in her eyes. The apology sounded sincere.Harvey let silence fill the distance between them. His gaze fell on Emma's hands clenched tightly at her sides-as if summoning up great courage to do this.A faint smile lifted the corners of Harvey's lips. He nodded lightly. “No problem.”Without another word, Harvey turned around, stepping towards the stairs leading to the basement. His business in this hotel was done. However, after only a few steps, a trembling voice stopped him.“M-Mr...”Harvey turned around, finding Emma standing hesitantly, her lips trembling slightly.“Is... is it okay?” her voice was soft, almost drowned out in the small clink of the air conditioner running in the hallway. “I... accused you of a crime. You must be... hurt.”Harvey frowned, a subtle crease appearing bet

    Emma is now sitting quietly on the sofa, which Harvey has lent her from the hotel staff. Her body drooped limply, her head resting on the pillow, as if the heavy burden of thoughts could no longer be borne. Her hands clasped her temples, trying to hold back the pain that came so deeply. The incident earlier was still very clear in her mind, shadowing every corner of her mind, leaving her with a raging fear.Harvey wasted no time. Quickly, he brought her to this room, instructing the hotel staff to give her a place to rest. An attack from a stalker would obviously be in the media spotlight, and Harvey decided to keep things under wraps. He told the hotel staff not to reveal anything about this incident, unless he got Emma's permission first. After all, Emma Wilson, an actress on the rise to fame, could not be allowed to become a distracting news item.Moments later, a bespectacled man entered the room with hurried steps. His face was filled with worry as he approached Emma. “Emma! Are

    The gentle sea breeze hit Harvey's face as he stepped onto the upper deck of the yacht. The night was calm, accompanied only by the sound of the waves breaking against the hull. In the distance, the moonlight and ship lights created a sparkle on the surface of the swimming pool water, making it look like a liquid gem.Some passengers lounged on sun loungers, some with drinks in hand, enjoying the warm evening. Jazz music flowed softly from the nearby bar, mixing with the faint laughter of the guests chatting casually.Harvey scanned the surroundings before finally choosing a seat by the pool. As he sat down, a feeling of relaxation slowly crept over his body. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, letting his fingers play on the screen while enjoying the peaceful night atmosphere.Harvey leaned his back against the chair, the screen of his phone reflecting a soft light on his face. His eyes caught a news story with Emma Wilson's picture on it. The actress had landed a new movie p

    The youngsters glared at Harvey. Their laughter soon turned to anger. Their faces turned red like iron on fire. Their blood seemed to rise to their heads and made their hearts pump rapidly.At that moment Ren violently pushed the table in front of him. Clanking sounds echoed in the room as glasses and plates fell to the floor. All the expensive-looking food and drinks were now discarded, becoming useless items.Slowly, Ren folded his arms across his chest. What Harvey did made him angry as well as the ego inside him rise. He looked at Harvey with his eyes wide open and the bottom of his eyes twitching several times.“You shrimp brains!” Ren snapped in a high tone. His words were sharp like a knife ready to shred. “How dare you mess with us. You ruined our food program!”Harevy slowly looked at the messy floor. The high-level food and drinks had been wasted due to his own actions, but he was accusing Harvey of doing it. What this young man did was like hitting a mirror because he could

    Troy gripped the bottle tightly, his eyes narrowed, full of turbulent doubts. His fingers trembled slightly, as if there was an invisible inner battle. However, in just a matter of seconds, his jaw clenched tightly, and with a sudden movement he slammed the bottle down.The bottle shattered on the floor. The shards bounced in all directions, while the liquid inside seeped onto the cold marble surface. The room was suddenly silent. All eyes were on Troy.The man's chest rose and fell, his expression turning wild. The muscles on his forehead tightened, his jaw locked, and his eyes burned with unstoppable rage.Troy turned his head sharply toward Harvey, his voice full of near explosive anger. "Why would I follow your words?" he hissed in a contemptuous tone. "You're just a stranger! How dare you order a Beats family member around like this?"He stepped forward slightly, as if to emphasize his presence. "You think I'm your servant?" he continued, his eyes flashing like a cornered animal.

    Freddie's eyes widened. He turned quickly to Rebecca, as if he had just seen his daughter in a different light. “Car accident?”Rebecca didn't answer right away. She remained silent, her jaw slightly set. Her gaze fell to the floor, as if she was sorting out the words, or perhaps swallowing back something she was reluctant to say.Harvey nodded slowly, his expression remaining cold. “The brake cable was cut.”Instantly, the air in the room tightened. Freddie was speechless. His mind was racing, trying to put together the pieces that had just been thrown in front of him. His gaze fell back on Rebecca-the girl's slightly damaged-looking clothes, the faint scratches on her arms and knees, and her being over an hour late. It all made sense now.Freddie's throat felt dry. His chest was rising and falling with his irregular breathing. This was no longer just conjecture. This was reality that had just slapped him hard.Freddie took a deep breath, trying to calm his uncontrollably beating hea

    “What the-” Troy stopped. His words hung in the air, swallowed by something bigger-fear. His heart was beating wildly, so hard it felt like it was pounding his chest from the inside. Cold sweat began to run down his temples, while his eyes widened, full of shock that he tried to hide.Harvey just glanced at her, sharp and cold. It pierced straight through him, as if skinning him without a word being said. Troy swallowed, then fell silent.Calmly, Harvey averted his gaze. Now, his eyes were on Freddie who was still wide-eyed in confusion. The man's jaw was set, but his troubled eyes couldn't lie-he was trying to digest what had just happened.Harvey finally spoke. His voice was flat, but filled with undeniable certainty. “Someone wants to get rid of Rebecca.” He glanced briefly at the girl, then back at Freddie with eyes as sharp as swords. “And afterwards, take your property, Mr. Freddie Beats.”The room felt increasingly tense. No one dared to make a sound. Only the sound of bated br

    Rebecca felt a strong urge from inside her body-like something was urging her out. Her throat burned, her stomach queasy. Her whole body shook violently before finally, once again, a dark red liquid gushed from her lips. Blood. A lot of it.Her body jerked as her breath caught, as if her lungs were desperately trying to resist the poison eating away at them. Cold sweat ran down his temples, while trembling hands gripped her aching chest.Freddie bolted upright from his chair, his chair sliding roughly against the floor. His eyes widened, his breathing ragged. “Why is there so much blood?” his voice was full of shock, almost panic. For the first time, her indifference began to crack.Behind her tense expression, Samantha's mind danced in contentment. Her lips may have remained sealed, but in her mind, a triumphant smile was already expanding. “Good...”Her gaze drifted towards the sprawled Rebecca, her body still twitching weakly. Blood pooled on the floor, coloring the wood a dusky re

    “Rebecca!” Freddie bolted to his feet. His chair shifted roughly, creaking against the floor. His chest rose and fell, as if something was squeezing his heart.However, before he could take a step closer, the sound of clinking glasses stopped him in his tracks. Samantha, casually, raised the wine glass to her lips. The look in her eyes was calm, almost lazy.“Ah, darling...” Her tone was light, almost like she was discussing the weather. “There's no need to be so excited.” She casts a quick glance at Rebecca who is drooping in Harvey's arms, then lets out a long sigh, as if bored. “You know she likes to stir up trouble just to get your attention.”Samantha tilted her head slightly, her fingers twirling the glass gracefully. “This time, maybe he's just pretending to be poisoned to get you worried.” A drop of wine remained on her lips, but her thin smile did not waver in the slightest.Troy cut into his steak casually, the knife gliding smoothly through the still-red meat in the center.

    A gentle smile was etched on the mother's face as her eyes caught Troy's figure. Without hesitation, she immediately spread her arms and hugged her son lovingly. “Oh, you've come, Troy,” she said, her voice sounding warm and full of pride.Meanwhile, Rebecca stepped closer with some hesitation. Her throat felt dry as she gulped. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the tremors in her chest, then bowed politely.“W-welcome, Father, Mother...” her voice was almost a whisper, trembling slightly.Her gaze remained downcast, but she could feel the coldness of the atmosphere surrounding her. There was no warm embrace like Troy had received, no loving welcome. Only a silence that left an uneasy feeling in his chest.Freddie Beats gave a small nod, his lips curving in a smile that seemed friendly at first glance. However, it was different with Samantha Beats-Rebecca's mother. The woman only gave a brief nod, her gaze sharp and full of judgment.Her eyes followed Rebecca from head to toe, no

    The roar of the engine split the silence. In an instant, a black Mercedes hurtled towards them and stopped with perfect precision in front of Harvey and Rebecca.Rebecca blinked. “Another luxury car?” Even under these circumstances, Rebecca was still surprised to see such an expensive vehicle.The door opened from the inside. A well-built man, dressed in a neat black suit, came out with steady steps. His eyes widened when he saw Harvey, then his expression quickly turned stiff.“Gen-” His words trailed off, his breathing slightly labored. At first glance, her face looked tense, as if she was about to say something she shouldn't.Harvey looked at him coldly, his eyes sharp as knives. The man finally lowered his head slightly. “Master Harvey,” he corrected quickly, his voice more controlled.Joseph - as Harvey called him - stepped closer, his jaw hardening slightly. However, before he could ask, Harvey had already spoken. “I had an accident, Joseph.”His tone remained steady. Calm. But

    Rebecca was getting more and more frantic. Her hands gripped the steering wheel rigidly, while her foot kept pressing the brake pedal - repeatedly - to no avail. The car kept going, faster and faster, swooping sharply down the steep descent.Her heart was pounding so hard it could be felt in her ears. Her eyes searched wildly for a solution, but everything seemed impossible.“No... No!” her voice trembled, almost choking on her own breath.Ahead, a sharp bend was approaching. The car's headlights shone down on the knee-high road divider, beyond which yawned a chasm blackened in the night.Rebecca tried to turn the steering wheel to the left, hoping to reduce speed by slipping into the next lane, but the car just swerved slightly. The rear tires almost lost traction.A chill ran through her body, like ice creeping along her spine. Time seemed to slow down, every second going by so slowly as the distance to the corner dwindled.“I have to... have to do something!” Her breathing was ragg

    Harvey raised one eyebrow, his eyes narrowed, trying to understand the situation. The woman's face in front of him looked pale, her panic clearly reflected in the way she squeezed the hem of her skirt. Her lower lip was slightly bitten, while her gaze was restless, reluctant to meet Harvey's eyes directly.A small sigh escaped her lips. As if gathering courage, she slowly glanced at Harvey. “I'm sorry, sir...” her voice sounded hesitant, almost a whisper. “I... accidentally bumped into your car.”Her eyes lowered again, her body tensed slightly, waiting for Harvey's reaction. Confusion was evident in her eyes.Harvey sighed softly before tilting his head, his eyes tracing the back of his car. The parking lot lights reflected off the now slightly dented body surface, faint scuff lines visible around the impact. It wasn't anything severe.He turned his gaze back to the woman in front of him. Harvey's gaze remained calm, as if the damage was no big deal. His lips curled slightly before h
