"What to do?!" Steve froze upon seeing his karma turned into 0. Although he had expected that one day his karma would bite him back hard, he still couldn't help but be nervous and afraid of what was about to come. This emotion was also significantly intensified when he saw the man in front of him change suddenly. He was confused about how Loen could be changed so quickly. He only just left for a couple of minutes, Why did his golden light dim into nothing? 'It's as if this person is not…-

Loen stormed out leaving the door fully open. After Raven confirmed that Loen had no intention of returning to close it, he stood up and steadily slid the door back closed. Shortly, he went back to his seat, with his temper returning to his initial silent and careful persona. On the other hand, Steve was doing his best to calm down as quickly as possible. He knew that by this, he would be able to think of a solution on what to do once Loen returned. Steve silently peeked at the person sitting…

Before Loen could respond, Steve quickly interjected, "But at the same time, it isn't ours." Loen looked at Steve in confusion. His eyes were telling him, 'How can that be possible?' Steve's eyes glimmered in delight as he recalled the time he suggested the family head on implementing this business plan. He discussed about franchising and how it works. "Instead of goods, what we sell is the brand's name and reputation. Our clients would then operate their business under our banner, with, of…

Steve was dumbfounded. He never expected Loen to respond like this. As Loen and Emile were colleagues, they should have a connection to develop trust with each other. But seeing Loen react like this only means that they weren't and probably had bad blood against one another. 'Is Emile a habitual offender?' Steve asked internally and silently gazed at Loen's pitiful act of frustration. Steve had no way of knowing the truth as he wasn't capable enough to glimpse whether Loen was telling the truth or…

In a bigger town not far away from the village, Steve rode a carriage while glancing over the window. His eyes were golden, indicating he was using his power. While his eyes were eye-catching, none of the people passing by seemed to notice them. It was as if, in their eyes, the child's pupils were normal and common. Steve had anticipated their indifference as he already knew he was the only one who can see and feel his eyes. Thus, no matter where he goes, he has no qualms about using his power in the…

The man's gaze remained locked on Philip, waiting for an answer. Although this was only for the investigation, a work-related one, he still could not hide his excitement and curiosity. He wanted to unveil the children's secrets and dissect their bodies for experimentation. His look was like a predator eyeing his prey, hungry for knowledge. However, seeing the child's dazed look and broken state, the man felt anxious for the first time. 'It seems I overdid myself,' the man frowned. Looking at…

As Philip's eyes met the man's gaze under his hood, Philip's whole being shook uncontrollably, clearly afraid of the man. The thing that he was trying to flee from had finally arrived before him. When the strong winds brushed through the man's robe, Philip managed to catch a glimpse of his face. His eyes were brown as if self-confidence and determination were reflected onto them. It was the opposite of his stature, weak and lazy. His black brows were slightly more bent than usual, looking annoyed.…

"It's your time." Steve called the man behind him, his voice filled with authority, trying to hide his reluctance. A man with a tall stature walked towards him lazily. He wore a black robe, hiding his build and the upper portion of his face. His steps were heavy as if he was just forcing himself to comply, yet also soft, as not a single sound of footsteps could be heard. Looking at the distance slowly closing between them, Steve noticed the tool in the man's hand, swinging back and forth along…

As the fire crackled and danced around, Philip stood motionless, seemingly thinking. Only the movements of his pupils were active, examining the group of men standing near the headwaters river. While Philip was frozen and surrounded by the fiery forest, the men were also attentively eyeing him, preparing for Philip's next course of action. Their focus was at maximum. With the river near them, creating a safe haven to fend off the fire, the men could fully concentrate on capturing Philip. Unlike them,…
