Hiding was his skill. He had always believed that he didn’t need to attract attention, that he just needed to act normal, and in doing so, he could achieve his goals. The truth was, he was someone with far greater power than others realized. What he meant was that he had done something sinister.

He controlled them and maneuvered them from behind the mask, he was the hidden leader. This way, the chances of something bad dragging him down were minimal. He could even be fine if all his plans fell apart.

But how did this happen?

He had hidden well, but now a man was choking his neck, lifting his body slightly, making it hard for him to breathe.

“Let go of me...” Daren spoke with difficulty. Even breathing was becoming a struggle.

“How’s that, I found you, didn’t I?”

The words of the man choking him shocked Daren. Finally, everything became clear: the man wasn’t acting impulsively, but because he realized that Daren was part of this kidnapping group.

    Phantom Mirage Step is a movement technique that makes the user appear like a shadow, creating a powerful illusion and allowing for incredibly fast steps. It is essentially a high-level movement skill, as facing it would be extremely difficult. Even highly experienced assassins would be powerless if Romeo possessed this ability.Romeo realized that this must be because his father knew it was time for him to gain greater power. Their formidable enemies would soon become aware of Romeo’s existence, and they would launch attacks from multiple directions.That was why, ever since he received this martial arts manual two days ago, Romeo had not left his room at all. He spent his time comprehending the manual and then learning its techniques. Everything else had become unimportant to him.Letting out a long breath from his lips, he finally closed the open manual in front of him, staring at it for a few seconds.“I’ve mastered it.” He carefully placed the manual inside his desk drawer. “But

You don’t belong here either," Reynold said, his voice dripping with disdain. He didn’t like how Romeo remained so calm, casually eating in front of them as if they were nothing.If what Lily said was true, then the man before him was nothing more than an insignificant nobody. And yet, Reynold felt a particular irritation toward Romeo. After all, the seat Romeo occupied was the one Reynold himself preferred. It

    Seeing a man speaking loudly made Lily immediately wear an annoyed expression on her face. She raised her lips and one eyebrow, glaring at the man."Who are you, coming here and interfering in other people's business!?" she snapped, but that wasn't all. "This is my business, so stay out of it!"Lily thought she had resolved the issue, and that the man would no longer interfere in her affairs. But when she turned around, she saw that the restaurant employees were not doing what she wanted. Instead, they were focused on the man who had just arrived.Lily became frustrated and gave them another command. "Hey! Do what I told you to do earlier! Because this company is really going to be ruined!"The employees made strange gestures, bowing their heads. "Mr. Benard, why are you here?"They asked worriedly and then continued to focus on Benard."Who is he, anyway?" Lily asked arrogantly."Mr. Benard is the owner of this place." One of the employees explained to Lily, and the woman looked shoc

The two pitiful figures winced in pain, but not a single person spared them any sympathy."Bastards! Just wait, I’ll sue all of you!" Lily shrieked furiously.Meanwhile, back inside where the commotion had started, the old man sat beside Romeo, watching him closely."This isn’t just surprising for you, Benard," Romeo said calmly.Benard nodded in agreement. If he hadn’t been in the control room earlier, he might never have met Romeo."I’m honored to meet you, Master Romeo," Benard said with sincerity. Then, his gaze fell on the table in front of Romeo, now filled with empty plates. He hesitated before speaking. "Did you enjoy the food here?"He was eager to hear any feedback from the man who had bested

Teddy asked, extending his hand forward.He tried to reach Gina, but in the darkness, he struggled. Gina only needed to sidestep slightly for him to fail in his attempt to touch her. Her expression showed clear disdain."You’re stronger than I thought," Gina said, her eyes shifting toward Romeo.Romeo, who had been observing calmly, responded, "So are you."If one could see what he had just done, it would be clear that this woman possessed impressive martial arts skills. In the past few days, Romeo had encountered several individuals with extraordinary abilities.Curiosity stirred within him, and while he formed a few conclusions, he chose not to voice them.Then, the lights finally came back on, and Gina and Romeo both exhaled simultaneously."Isn't this dangerous?"

    “Master Ferdic! What happened to you?!” A man reached out to support the burly man beside him, but before he could, Ferdic collapsed to the ground.“Master Ferdic!”The panicked cries grew louder, quickly drawing the attention of everyone in the room. In an instant, a crowd had gathered. Master Carlos, who was present, stepped forward to assess Ferdic’s condition.“It seems someone poisoned Master Ferdic, taking advantage of the earlier chaos.”Carlos’s firm statement sent a wave of tension through the crowd. His words felt undeniably true, and murmurs of distress erupted among the people.“Who would dare do such a thing to him?”“Who is the culprit?”The voices of panic and accusation filled the air, but their arguing only added to the confusion rather than solving the problem.Carlos remained silent, his expression dark as he observed the situation. Beside him, Gina finally spoke up.“Father, can’t you do anything to heal him?”Master Carlos shook his head. “No. This is a complicate

    A man almost lunged at Romeo, shocked by what he had just seen. But fortunately, he was stopped by Carlos, who was present at the scene. At that moment, he sensed something different about Romeo.Even seeing Gina’s reaction, who had spoken with this man earlier, he was sure that Romeo was no ordinary man. The way Romeo moved—with certainty and precision—was clearly something that could only be achieved through extensive experience.“Mr. Carlos, don’t stop me.”Carlos looked at him coldly. “It’s better if you watch and see what happens first.”The man was intimidated by Carlos’s pressure and immediately fell silent. At that moment, he slowly turned his gaze back to Fedric—the man who had seemed weak just moments ago, unable to move at all, was now wiping the blood from his mouth.His reaction caught everyone’s attention, making them more at ease.“Mr. Fedric, are you feeling better?” the doctor quickly asked, keeping a close watch on him.The pale color on Fedric’s face had faded, and

    Gina hurriedly approached her father, unsure why he was acting that way. The situation worried her, especially with so many people watching.“Father, what are you doing?” she asked, glancing around anxiously.“I’m doing the right thing,” Mr. Carlos replied calmly.But that didn’t ease Gina’s panic at all. Romeo could feel the weight of everyone's attention, and he wasn’t ready for his identity to be exposed.“It would be best if we discussed this somewhere more private,” he suggested.Mr. Carlos immediately responded, understanding the discomfort of the situation. Soon, they found themselves in a more private setting, joined by a woman who still looked confused.She had been wondering about her father’s strange behavior, her curiosity growing stronger.
