If I had done better... he would never have caused trouble for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shoulders slumped as if the burden he had been carrying had finally become too heavy to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I failed as a father, and now you had to deal with the consequences of my mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Ivy simply observed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she lifted her hand slightly and dismissed his apology with a small, casual gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not a big issue,\" she said in a composed tone, her voice neither cold nor particularly warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her expression shifted subtly as she focused on something more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me one thing clearly,\" she continued, her eyes narrowing just a fraction. \"Does your son actually own half of this land?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel stiffened immediately, as though the question had struck a sensitive nerve, and he shook his head without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, he doesn’t,\" he replied firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a slow breath, as if he had already anticipated this question and prepared himself to answer it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can tell what you’re thinking, that I’m trying to avoid responsibility by making excuses,\" he added, his tone turning slightly bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the truth is... those shares were never real to begin with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s gaze sharpened slightly, signaling him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explain everything properly,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My son has been addicted for a long time,\" he confessed, his voice growing heavier with each word. \"Drugs, bad company, reckless decisions... he has been spiraling out of control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened as frustration and disappointment flickered across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I had actually handed over any real property to him, he would have sold it immediately just to fuel his habits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly, lowering his voice as if admitting something he was deeply ashamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When he started insisting on having land in his name, I understood exactly what he was planning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I gave him what he wanted, at least, on the surface,\" Daniel continued. \"I made him believe that I had transferred half of the land to him, but in reality, there was nothing under his name at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy gave a slow, almost indifferent nod before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, then it doesn’t matter. You just need to submit the papers stating that you haven’t transferred half of the property to your son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel felt his shoulders loosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I really didn’t think of something so simple...’ His chest rose and fell with a quiet breath of relief before he responded without hesitation. \"I’ll do it right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But peace never lingered for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, near the towering gates of the base, another storm was brewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus and Kate had just arrived, their appearance drawing immediate attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust clung to their clothes, their hair was disheveled, and the exhaustion on their faces was so heavy it seemed to drag their very bodies down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus’s missing hand was impossible to ignore, the empty sleeve swaying slightly with each step, while Kate looked so drained that it seemed as though she might collapse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call Angelina,\" Marcus demanded, his voice hoarse yet forceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards exchanged quick glances before straightening their posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they heard Angelina’s name, their attitude shifted entirely. One of them nodded respectfully and gestured toward a nearby chair. \"Please, sit. We’ll inform her immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate and Marcus paused, a flicker of disbelief crossing their faces before they slowly sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We’re being treated like this... because of her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen others come here, desperate people asking for siblings, relatives, loved ones, and those people had been forced to stand in long lines, waiting endlessly for even a chance to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here they were, offered seats and prompt attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She must have done well for herself...’ Kate thought, her fingers tightening slightly against her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not take long before Angelina arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her eyes fell on them, the faint smile on her lips vanished as if it had never existed. Her expression hardened, and a chill crept into her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate immediately lifted her chin, \"We came to ask about the progress of the mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully avoided mentioning Arthur, as if saying his name aloud would shatter something fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina stared at her for a long moment, her eyes sharp, almost piercing. Then she spoke, \"He is dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus’s jaw tightened, and Kate’s fingers trembled slightly before... Smack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina’s face turned slightly with the impact, her cheek stinging, but she did not retaliate. She stood there, unmoving, her expression eerily calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They lost their son...’ she thought, her gaze lowering for a brief moment. ’I understand... but that doesn’t change anything.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had begged Ivy more than once, her voice breaking, her pride discarded, but Ivy’s answer had always been cold and unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can spare his life, but you have to give away yours, would you agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina had refused. She loved her brother, yes, but not to the extent of sacrificing her own life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And deep down, she knew that if their positions were reversed, Arthur would have made the same choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She visited him, again and again. Each time, he would look at her with arrogance or desperation, sometimes even pleading in a tone that carried both pity and resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","35769e3c24c1777f3633f64c3eadf0120371919fc17f1bc5bb47d0b6af994c77","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-635","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-633",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
