The grand hall shimmered, a cage of gold and expectation. King Lee Heon sat rigid, his eyes cold as steel, ignoring the desperate glances of the billionaire’s daughter.

His gaze bypassed the opulence, locking onto you. “You,” he said, stepping closer, his deep voice strangely gentle. “Do you know where the bathroom is?” The air thickened, destiny holding its breath.
