Adam finished his shift and stepped outside the café.
The streets were quiet after the long rainy night.
Cold air filled the city.
He began walking slowly toward his small apartment.
But suddenly…
A black luxury car stopped beside him.
Adam froze.
The car window rolled down slowly.
Inside sat the same older man who had been watching him earlier.
The man looked at Adam with serious eyes.
"Good evening… Mr. Adam."
Adam's expression immediately changed.
"No one calls me that," he replied coldly.
The man opened the car door and stepped out.
He wore an expensive black suit and looked like someone very powerful.
"Forgive me," the man said respectfully.
"But I have been searching for you… for many years."
Adam's eyes became sharp.
"I think you have the wrong person."
The man shook his head.
"No."
Then he said the words Adam feared the most.
"You are the only heir of the Anderson Empire."
Adam stayed silent.
Memories from the past rushed through his mind.
Luxury mansions.
Powerful business meetings.
Dangerous enemies.
And the night he decided to disappear.
"I left that life," Adam said quietly.
"But the world you left…" the man replied,
"never forgot you."
Adam clenched his fists.
"What do you want?"
The man looked directly into his eyes.
"Your company is under attack."
"And if you don't return soon…"
"Everything your family built will be destroyed."
For a long moment, Adam said nothing.
His peaceful life was collapsing.
And the past he tried to escape…
was finally catching up with him.
