After that, he was unreachable.

That was years ago.

Some time back, he’d suddenly reappeared. He was the one Diana contacted for help with the Ashley situation–the one called Lynx.

“Just got back a couple of days ago,” Anthony said quietly.

Isabelle asked, “Are you planning to stay long, or…”

They’d never exchanged contact info. Anthony always reached out to them when he needed to.

“I’ll be staying. We’ll catch up properly later. I have some business to take care of tonight.” Anthony took out his phone, opened a QR code, and let her scan it.

Isabelle added his contact.

“Mr. Vale.” A woman in a red halter dress approached and stood respectfully beside him.

Anthony glanced up at her and gave a slight nod.

“She just called you Mr. Vale…” Isabelle only knew him as Anthony.

“Vale is my family name,” Anthony said with a smile, putting his phone away.

Isabelle paused. They’d known each other for years, and she was just learning his last name now.

“I’ll message you later,” Anthony said.

“Okay.” Isabelle nodded.

Years ago, Isabelle and Diana had found him by the river, covered in wounds. They called the police, but he wouldn’t say anything. It seemed his mind had been injured, too.

Isabelle and Diana thought he might be mute. After making sure he wasn’t a fugitive, they wanted to help m. They didn’t dare bring him home, but they were afraid he’d die alone, so they rented a small place for him.

He had lived abroad before, taking on odd jobs, mostly manual labor.

No one wanted to hire a man covered in scars and built like solid muscle. They were afraid he’d scare customers.

Now, years later, Anthony seemed different.

Anthony stood up, smiled, and walked away.

“Where is he?” Anthony asked the woman beside him, his voice cool.

“Mr. Cross is waiting in the private room,” she said, leading the way.

Anthony kept one hand in his pocket. The sternness of his face, combined with the scar, made him seem unapproachable.

“Never seen her before How did someone like that get in?

“Keep your voices down. He’s not just someone‘ He’s the new CEO of Enlighten Smart Technology. Just acquired it. Keeps a low profile Be careful not to offend him. He’s done ‘state time.”

Someone whispered the last two words meaningfully.

Many understood the implication and quickly fell silent.

Anthony’s reputation spread through the industry that very night.

But it wasn’t a good one.

People tried to dig up his background, but they could only find records from the past few years. The files showed he came from a rough, background, had a unique understanding of data systems, and had worked as a low–level employee at a small firm.

Later, due to a work conflict, he hacked into his boss‘ system, exposed the boss‘ dealings, bankrupted him, and took over the smal

company.

From there, he expanded until he acquired the tech firm he now ran.

Many kept their distance, afraid to cross him.

Anthony looked like someone you didn’t want to mess with. Just looking at him might give you nightmares. He’d become a figure people feared.

But he didn’t care about their whispers. He’d heard plenty of them on his way up.

The door to the private room opened, letting in a burst of noise from the party before closing again, sealing the silence inside.

Damian heard the footsteps enter. He was leisurely pouring coffee.

“Since when did Mr. Cross become so refined?” Anthony chuckled, hands in his pockets, a teasing look on his face,

The word “refined” felt out of place when describing Damian.

Damian’s hand stilled on the coffee pot.

The voice was too familiar, yet he hadn’t heard it in so long.

Anthony’s

He looked up, disbelief in his eyes. When he saw Anthony, he froze for a second, taking in the faint, knowing smirk on An lips.

Anthony wasn’t pleased by the hesitation. “Don’t recognize me?”

When Damian heard his voice again, he slowly stood and strode toward him.

Anthony grinned and opened his arms. They embraced tightly.

Damian’s grip was strong, squeezing Anthony’s ribs. He thumped Anthony’s back hard.

Bear Thought you were dead” Damian’s voice was slightly choked.

He never imagined they meet again in this lifetime. He’d been told Anthony died in that conflict that his body had been blown apart beyond recognition.

Damian let go and looked him over carefully from head to toe.

Anthony was only around thirty, but everyone used to call him “Old Bean,”

He was Aurora’s elder brother. He’d been their squad leader back then, a big brother who looked after a bunch of raw recruits, guiding them from naive boys into hardened men.
