00:00:02¿Quién está ahí?

00:00:08Son de thunder,

00:00:10All alone up here on the mountain,

00:00:12Aren't you lonely?

00:00:14Don't touch me.

00:00:17You're way too rough.

00:00:19My heart hurts.

00:00:21Aren't you gonna rub it for me?

00:00:24This is charcoal powder

00:00:25From the sacred oak tree struck by that old bastard Zeus.

00:00:28It cures everything.

00:00:30It's got your spit on it.

00:00:32It's demigod spit. It boosts the potency.

00:00:34What's wrong with that?

00:00:36Hey, try it.

00:00:38It really works.

00:00:40Ungrateful.

00:00:44Boom! Idiot!

00:00:47Elder, what did I do this time?

00:00:49800 gold coins.

00:00:50I went out of my way to find a top tier siren just to test flirtation skills for the mortal

00:00:55world.

00:00:56And you actually tried to feed her your spit filled mud balls?

00:01:00If it weren't for those golden lightning patterns,

00:01:02Who would ever think you're the son of that old horndog Zeus?

00:01:05You call that top plan?

00:01:06She smelled like expired canned fish.

00:01:08Wait.

00:01:09What did you just say?

00:01:10The mortal world?

00:01:12Cut the crap and get hell down to the mortal realm.

00:01:14Your trial to mass Zeus power lies with the nine muses.

00:01:18Unlock the divine sigils on them and win their approval.

00:01:21Not happening.

00:01:23You don't have a choice.

00:01:25Why the hell do I want that old man's power anyway to be a breeding stallion?

00:01:30Friendly heads up, I went ahead and took care of that old debt down in the mortal world for you

00:01:34too.

00:01:35If I don't send you down there now, Hera's people are going to find you sooner or later.

00:01:39Go to the mortal world, kid.

00:01:41At least you'll live a few days longer.

00:01:51The mortal world's welcome ceremony is pretty aggressive.

00:01:55This is the mortal world? Did Cassian mention debt just now?

00:01:58Welcome to the mortal world, Master Adam.

00:02:00Who the hell are you?

00:02:01That old scammer-cation actually provides customer support?

00:02:03The Olympus proxy for mortal affairs.

00:02:05I'm just here to remind you that trouble is already at your doorstep.

00:02:08I just landed, haven't even dusted myself off yet, what trouble.

00:02:11The first sigil keeper is already on her way.

00:02:13Not interested.

00:02:14Tell her to book an appointment, preferably in her next life.

00:02:16Her name is Selina Sterling, the CEO of Sterling Biology Group.

00:02:20The first lightning sigil is on her, but she has no idea.

00:02:23She doesn't know? Nope.

00:02:24All she knows is that the Sterling family holds an ancient marriage contract,

00:02:27and the lightning ring will choose her legal husband.

00:02:29So she knows nothing about Olympus, the signals, or who I am?

00:02:33Exactly.

00:02:34Perfect.

00:02:35Then I don't know who she is either.

00:02:37But your name is already written on the contract.

00:02:42She's here.

00:02:44Your tone makes this sound like the start of a horror movie.

00:02:47Hey! Don't run!

00:02:49Why is everyone from Olympia so damn good at passing the buck?

00:02:57You must be Adam.

00:02:59And you must be the woman who brought a whole fleet just to kidnap a man.

00:03:02You better watch your mouth and show some respect.

00:03:04You're blocking my front door and telling me to have manners?

00:03:07The rules in the mortal world are pretty damn tyrannous.

00:03:16I don't know who you are, and I don't care where you came from.

00:03:20But the lightning ring has lit up,

00:03:22and your name has appeared on the Sterling family's ancient marriage contract.

00:03:26Starting tonight, you are my husband.

00:03:28Husband?

00:03:30Do proposals in the mortal world always involve bodyguards and a safe?

00:03:33Is this a marriage contract or an armored transport?

00:03:35The Cross family is forcing me into a marriage alliance.

00:03:38If I don't have a legal husband by tonight,

00:03:40they will use a board clause to strip me of Sterling Biological Group.

00:03:43Sounds like you need a lawyer, not me.

00:03:45The family contract wouldn't just choose you for no reason.

00:03:47I don't know why, but I will find out.

00:03:50Now, come with me.

00:03:51Pass.

00:03:52Hey!

00:03:55No! Watch out! I just got here!

00:03:57I don't even have insurance yet!

00:04:00I didn't see anything!

00:04:02It was an accident!

00:04:03I have zero interest in knowing what's inside your box!

00:04:08You pervert!

00:04:10How dare you try to take advantage of Selina!

00:04:12She tripped me!

00:04:14This is next level entrapment!

00:04:18My eyes are closed.

00:04:20Olympus can be my witness,

00:04:22even though their credit score is pretty terrible.

00:04:25Let... let go of me!

00:04:27Hold on, don't hit me yet.

00:04:28I already got struck by lightning once today.

00:04:31I'm really not in the mood for your slap.

00:04:33Let go!

00:04:35Watch out!

00:04:36Psycho!

00:04:37I literally had my eyes closed trying to help!

00:04:40Is the fabric quality in the mortal world always this feep?

00:04:43So this is what you call an ancient marriage contract?

00:04:47It's kinky as hell.

00:04:49I'm going to kill you today!

00:04:50That's enough, Ava!

00:04:53Adam, I'm running out of patience.

00:04:56What do you want?

00:04:57Let's get one thing straight.

00:04:58I am not signing any weird clauses.

00:05:01Either you agree to be my legal husband right now,

00:05:06or I will drag you back to the Sterling Estate,

00:05:08lock you in a room,

00:05:10and you won't be getting out of bed for three days and three nights

00:05:13until this marriage is fully consummated.

00:05:19Three days and three nights?

00:05:22Consummated?

00:05:22What do you take me for?

00:05:24My legal husband.

00:05:26No way!

00:05:27Not happening.

00:05:29Not in this lifetime.

00:05:30I just got kicked down from the mountain.

00:05:32Not thrown into a forced marriage.

00:05:36Mr. Adam, friendly reminder.

00:05:38The further you are from the first signal keeper,

00:05:41the harsher the backlash from the lightning signals will be.

00:05:45You didn't mention that earlier.

00:05:46Well, you weren't exactly in the mood to listen.

00:05:48Is customer service always this garbage on Olympus?

00:05:52What's wrong with you?

00:05:53Nothing.

00:05:54The air in the mortal world is just too damn expensive.

00:05:56I'm having a hard time adjusting.

00:05:58Want me to help you adjust?

00:06:01No thanks. Fine.

00:06:03Husband it is. I'll do it.

00:06:05But I'm warning you, no funny business.

00:06:07And keep those mortal torture actions from your box the hell away from me.

00:06:12Wait a minute. What are you doing?

00:06:13I already said yes. Why is there still an escort protocol?

00:06:19I can walk.

00:06:20Are you seriously drafting both of my legs before I even officially marry into the family?

00:06:27What are you doing? Let me tell you. This counts as secondary trauma.

00:06:30Shutting you up.

00:06:39The way you mortals welcome a husband feels a lot like processing a war criminal.

00:06:44Sukyu. Get him the vitality meal immediately.

00:06:47Oysters, venison, protein shakes, and herbal boosters. Bring it all.

00:06:51Right away, ma'am. I'll arrange it.

00:06:52Whoa, what are you trying to do? I signed a marriage contract, not a medical enhancement package.

00:06:56Just making sure the contract picked the right man.

00:06:58I'm warning you. Don't do anything crazy.

00:07:01Even ancient contracts have to respect modern laws.

00:07:03I have company business to attend to.

00:07:05Explore the place. Stay out of trouble.

00:07:07When I come back tonight, I'll deal with you properly.

00:07:10Hey.

00:07:13I'll have the bodyguards keep a close eye on him.

00:07:16As expected of a CEO, this place is even better at wasting money than the divine temples.

00:07:27Why is there a man in the estate? Who the hell are you?

00:07:31Don't scream. My eyes are completely closed for business right now.

00:07:35Close your fingers. Stop looking.

00:07:37My fingers are practically welded together. How about you cover up first, and then we can interrogate each other.

00:07:42How dare you say that! Turn around! Don't you dare look back!

00:07:46My clothes are on the couch. Throw them to me, fast!

00:07:48Are we good?

00:07:49There's one more piece.

00:07:50Which one?

00:07:52It's right in the cushion crack. Just look for it.

00:07:55You call this clothes?

00:07:56This is literally just a couple of strings.

00:07:59Just throw it over!

00:08:01Okay, Spill! Who the hell are you?

00:08:03How did you break into my sister's estate?

00:08:05Hey, don't frame an innocent guy.

00:08:08If anyone broke in, it was your sister who kidnapped me from my lakeside cabin.

00:08:13My sister would never just bring a random man home.

00:08:15She certainly wasn't random about it. She literally made me her husband.

00:08:19You are full of crap!

00:08:20Go ask her yourself.

00:08:22She even ordered oysters, venison and protein shakes for me saying she'd verify if the contract picked the right guy

00:08:27tonight.

00:08:29You...

00:08:32Hey! Don't faint on me! I wasn't even done talking!

00:08:35Frigid blood syndrome?

00:08:37Does this family marriage contract come with a complimentary ER package?

00:08:41Swallow it.

00:08:43Charcoal powder from the oak tree struck by Zeus, this is more than enough to suppress your cold core.

00:08:51Hang in there. I'll suppress the cold core for you first.

00:08:54What do you think you're doing? Let go of the second young lady, you creep!

00:08:57She was dying. I'm saving her life.

00:08:59Does your security training not teach you how to read a situation?

00:09:08Captain! Captain! There's a man over here holding the second young lady. We can't get near him!

00:09:17Calling for backup again? Is your medical protocol to beat up the doctor first?

00:09:25What's going on here?

00:09:26That man won't let go of the second young lady!

00:09:27We have no idea what he's doing and we can't break through!

00:09:30The second young lady's frigid blood syndrome is flaring up.

00:09:32We need to handle this now or things will get critical.

00:09:35Notify Miss Selena immediately.

00:09:37Tell her to get the medical team over here right away.

00:09:39Yes ma'am!

00:09:40The rest of you, with me!

00:09:42I don't care how tough he is, he can't take all of us!

00:09:46I highly suggest you believe I can.

00:09:51Like I said, a little faith saves you a lot of pain.

00:09:55Miss Selena! There's someone in the estate!

00:09:57Someone what? Someone is saving your second young lady's life.

00:10:01Don't! Don't come any closer!

00:10:02Unbelievable!

00:10:03Here, take it back. Let the expert do his work, even if I'm not technically a doctor.

00:10:12Wasn't I just having an attack? How am I completely fine?

00:10:16Mrs. Ivy, the cold core has penetrated deep into your bone marrow.

00:10:20Normal medication can only delay it. It cannot cure it.

00:10:23Is there really no other way?

00:10:24Unless you find a man with an exceptionally high thermal core for a close contact thermal exchange.

00:10:30Close contact?

00:10:31The closer, the more powerful the effective.

00:10:38You absolute bastard!

00:10:45Let's use our words.

00:10:46Don't slap the guy who just saved your life the second you wake up.

00:10:49You jerk!

00:10:51You actually did that to me while I was unconscious?

00:10:54Did what?

00:10:56Does saving a life automatically come with a criminal record?

00:10:59Stop playing dumb!

00:11:00The doctor said my syndrome could only be relieved through a close contact thermal exchange.

00:11:04Now that I'm fine, neat, you must-

00:11:06I used my thermal energy to push down your cold core.

00:11:08I didn't touch you.

00:11:09Really?

00:11:10Whether you've been touched or not, shouldn't you be the one who knows?

00:11:13Stop pinning everything on me.

00:11:14Aizing Sedain may saddle with your sessive by a massive contract.

00:11:19It actually doesn't hurt anymore.

00:11:22I save you and you call me a bastard.

00:11:25Does the Sterling family specifically train you guys to be ungrateful?

00:11:28What are you planning now?

00:11:29I'm developing a serious trauma response to Sterling women.

00:11:32A normal heat source can only do so much.

00:11:33You didn't even get close yet you suppressed my cold core completely.

00:11:36What kind of freak anatomy do you have?

00:11:37A living one.

00:11:38The doctor said only a pure ultra-high thermal core could pull this off.

00:11:40Are you one of those completely untouched premium high heat bodies?

00:11:43What do you mean untouched?

00:11:45As in, you've never been with a woman.

00:11:48You know, a virgin.

00:11:50What's wrong with never being with a woman?

00:11:52What's wrong with being a virgin?

00:11:54Is being clean a crime nowadays?

00:11:56Keep talking like that and there won't be a second rescue.

00:12:01You let go of me first.

00:12:03Then stop running your mouth.

00:12:08You're so warm.

00:12:09Hold it! Stay back!

00:12:10I just cleared my name from one charge.

00:12:12I am not catching a second one immediately.

00:12:14If you dare do anything out of line, I'll have my sister break you!

00:12:20She was the one moving in on me.

00:12:22Mortal women.

00:12:24Their logic is harder to dodge than a heavenly tribulation.

00:12:27Got it.

00:12:28Have the security team stand down.

00:12:29Ivy had another attack.

00:12:31What?

00:12:31Adam was there.

00:12:32Security said he did something to wake her up.

00:12:35On top of that, a dozen guards couldn't even lay a finger on him.

00:12:38A dozen?

00:12:39Those are elite private contractors we specifically hired?

00:12:41He blocked all of them?

00:12:43It looks like he's definitely not ordinary.

00:12:46Are you seriously keeping him around?

00:12:48The Cross family isn't going to back off.

00:12:50The contract picked him and he happens to be highly capable.

00:12:53We keep him for now.

00:12:55Are you actually going to wear that?

00:12:58The contract requires confirmation of the husband's identity.

00:13:01Since he keeps dodging, I'll just have to make the first move.

00:13:04Selina, don't you think this is a bit...

00:13:06It's strictly business.

00:13:10Mr. Adam, here is the vitality meal Ms. Selina ordered.

00:13:17Incredible power.

00:13:19Ah!

00:13:24Are you okay?

00:13:25My bad, I thought I was being ambushed.

00:13:27This estate hasn't felt like a safe zone since the moment I walked in.

00:13:29So hard.

00:13:31So tamed.

00:13:32Whoa, whoa, whoa!

00:13:33Cut that out.

00:13:33I'm currently highly allergic to the concept of physical contact.

00:13:36No wonder Mrs. Selina was so desperate to drag you back.

00:13:40Why did she lock onto me as a husband the second we met?

00:13:42Am I some kind of promotional giveaway for an ancient contract?

00:13:45Why am I so high in demand?

00:13:47Well, that's because...

00:13:50Because what?

00:13:52Come a little closer, and I'll whisper it to you.

00:14:02What exactly do you think you two are doing?

00:14:06What is the deal with that outfit?

00:14:08What are you trying to achieve?

00:14:10Why are you two standing so close?

00:14:13Let me clear things up first.

00:14:14She literally grabbed my hand and pulled it there.

00:14:17Sook you?

00:14:18He belongs to me.

00:14:19What do you think you were doing just now?

00:14:21Ma'am, I didn't do anything.

00:14:22I just came in to deliver the vitality meal, took a little spill, and Mr. Adam was nice enough to

00:14:27catch me.

00:14:28Wow. Turns out the house staff comes in a green tea flavor.

00:14:31I'm just a simple assistant housekeeper.

00:14:33I wouldn't dare covet my lady's husband.

00:14:35Is my outfit not working?

00:14:36Why isn't he looking at me?

00:14:38Time to vanish.

00:14:39They're interrogating each other.

00:14:40They probably won't notice the evidence slipping away.

00:14:43Freeze!

00:14:44Adam, settle this.

00:14:46Who's hotter?

00:14:46Me or Suki?

00:14:48I...

00:14:50Who's shooting?

00:14:51Where are you looking?

00:14:52The gun is outside, not on me!

00:14:54Can the Sterling Estate please respect basic vocabulary?

00:14:56Selena!

00:14:57I love you!

00:14:59Selena!

00:15:00Marry me!

00:15:01I know you're in there!

00:15:02Ugh.

00:15:03Him again.

00:15:04Just give me a sign, and I'll wait out here forever!

00:15:07Is this your hardcore stalker?

00:15:09Tell me about it.

00:15:10Relying on the cross-family fortune, he's been harassing our lady for six months.

00:15:14We can't shake him off.

00:15:15Classic soap opera.

00:15:17The rich prick trying to force a woman into marriage using family leverage.

00:15:20How about you leave this guy to me?

00:15:21If I get rid of him for you, can we shave a day off that three day and three night

00:15:24lock-up?

00:15:24You're seriously negotiating that right now?

00:15:26Do you have any idea who he is?

00:15:28He's the second son of the cross-family.

00:15:30With their power, ruining you would be effortless.

00:15:32So, he's a massive pain in the ass, right?

00:15:35An absolute nightmare.

00:15:36Say less, leave it to me.

00:15:38I'll handle him right now, and I guarantee he won't be bothering you anytime soon.

00:15:49Selena, if loving you is a crime, I'll happily serve a life sentence.

00:15:53Selena, the second you appear, my heart rate goes crazier than the estate security alarms.

00:15:57Selena, without you my life is like a phone with zero bears.

00:16:00Completely disconnected.

00:16:02The cross-family's golden boy is back at it.

00:16:05Six months of this.

00:16:08Rain or shine, he shows up on the dot.

00:16:10More reliable than the landscapers.

00:16:12Is this how rich guys show affection?

00:16:14It's exhausting.

00:16:16What can we do?

00:16:17He's a cross.

00:16:17Our lady can't exactly start an open war with him.

00:16:20Selena, if loving you requires a reservation, I'm down to wait until my next incarnation.

00:16:26Selena, if loving you requires a reservation, I'm down to wait until my next incarnation.

00:16:33We're telling you to be a wonder, can they actually have got more to the old back of?

00:16:37Yeah.

00:16:38This garbage is louder than an Olympian tribulation.

00:16:41At least the lightning doesn't rhyme.

00:16:43Mr. Adam, where do you think you're going?

00:16:44Taking out the trash.

00:16:45Mr. Adam, you can't go out there.

00:16:47That's the cross-family heir.

00:16:48He uses his family clout to harass our lady daily.

00:16:51Nobody dares cross him.

00:16:52Look at those guys around him.

00:16:53They are elite mercenaries.

00:16:56You don't stand a chance.

00:16:58Just them?

00:16:59They aren't normal people.

00:17:02Perfect.

00:17:03I'm not a normal husband.

00:17:06Mr. Adam.

00:17:12Selena, I knew you'd-

00:17:18Littering in a noise violation, that'll be a $500 fine.

00:17:24Who the hell are you?

00:17:25How dare you clip my flower?

00:17:27A $500 fine?

00:17:28You've lost your damn mind.

00:17:29Wait a minute, you just walked out of the Sterling Estate?

00:17:31Men aren't even allowed past the gate.

00:17:33Even her male drivers have to wait outside.

00:17:35What the hell were you doing inside?

00:17:36Rules are rigid.

00:17:37People are flexible.

00:17:38I'm Selena's contract husband.

00:17:40I have full clearance.

00:17:41You?

00:17:42Selena's husband?

00:17:42Go find a mirror, pal.

00:17:44You aren't even in her league.

00:17:45The mirror had zero objections.

00:17:46You, on the other hand, have way too many.

00:17:48Do you have any idea who I am?

00:17:49Do you know who my father is?

00:17:50One word for me and you're completely erased from this city.

00:17:52Crying to daddy the second things go wrong?

00:17:54The cross-family forget to wean you before handing you an empire?

00:17:57You're dead meat!

00:17:58Ah!

00:17:58What the hell are you waiting for?

00:17:59Kill him!

00:18:03Those are top-tier cross-family enforcers.

00:18:05And he just liquidated them like it was nothing?

00:18:08He's got some real weight.

00:18:09Turns out our contract husband is a lot more than just a pretty face.

00:18:14Stay.

00:18:14Stay back.

00:18:15If you touch me, my father will personally hunt you down!

00:18:17Your dad sounds exhausting.

00:18:20First he has to erase people, now he has to avenge your fragile ego.

00:18:23Does he actually know how much you depend on him?

00:18:25Shut your mouth!

00:18:28Shit!

00:18:28He brought a gun!

00:18:29We really should have pinned him down and run a field test back in the room.

00:18:31I don't care how fast your fists are.

00:18:34Can you outrun a bullet?

00:18:35You brought a gun to a proposal?

00:18:36No wonder Selena treats you like background noise.

00:18:39Let's see if your head is harder than iron.

00:18:49How is this even possible?

00:18:52Taste mediocre.

00:18:54Did you buy these rounds on clearance?

00:18:56They feel a bit damp.

00:18:58Bullshit!

00:18:58You got lucky once.

00:19:00Let's see you do it again!

00:19:03That's it.

00:19:05Lots of noise.

00:19:06Zero substance.

00:19:10Ma'am, you hit the jackpot.

00:19:13This contract husband is an absolute beast.

00:19:18The gun's defective!

00:19:19Bring out the heavy gear!

00:19:27Let's see you catch this.

00:19:36He's officially Swiss cheese.

00:19:38This is military grade.

00:19:39Military gun punches straight through armored pleating.

00:19:40If he's still breathing, I'll chop my own head off and use it as a soccer ball.

00:19:43I'm holding you to that.

00:19:48You're still alive?

00:19:50Impossible!

00:19:51Nobody survived that kind of firepower!

00:19:53Completely unscathed!

00:19:54Help!

00:19:55Help!

00:19:59This is insane!

00:20:00It's military grade steel!

00:20:02Got anything else?

00:20:03If not, I'm going back to sleep.

00:20:07Didn't you just say that if I survived, you'd rip your head off and kick it around?

00:20:12No!

00:20:13Wait, wait!

00:20:14My bad!

00:20:15I swear I'll never come to a Selena again!

00:20:21Keep that promise.

00:20:23Next time I see you near her, it won't be the gun that gets broken.

00:20:27Who the hell are you?

00:20:29Adam.

00:20:30Selena's legal husband.

00:20:32She validated herself.

00:20:33Got it memorized?

00:20:35You're gonna pay for this!

00:20:36I will destroy you!

00:20:38Just you wait!

00:20:39I'll be back with a vengeance!

00:20:41Hey!

00:20:41You forgot your ride!

00:20:52You made it from the driveway to the bedroom remarkably fast.

00:20:56Long legs.

00:20:58Plus, I was not trying to linger in the scent of gunpowder.

00:21:01You have completely offended the Cross family.

00:21:06He drew down on me first.

00:21:08The Cross family does not give a damn about logic.

00:21:11Taylor is just the second son.

00:21:13He has got a father and an older brother backing him up.

00:21:16And tell them to line up.

00:21:17One by one is just a massive waste of my time.

00:21:19Arrogant. I like it.

00:21:21Until this fully verified, the Chronister isn't gonna stop.

00:21:23It's way too late to back out now.

00:21:24Meaning?

00:21:28Did I exit the premises?

00:21:30Get out.

00:21:33Best of luck, contract husband.

00:21:36Wait a second!

00:21:37I haven't consented to this preparation yet!

00:21:39Get ready.

00:21:40Now.

00:21:42Cassian!

00:21:43I'd rather go back and pay off the damn debt!

00:21:49Being a contract husband is a brutal gig.

00:21:52An entire night of labor, and my dignity is valued at exactly 200 bucks.

00:21:57I made more money selling my sacred mud balls.

00:22:00This industry is worse than hard labor in the temples.

00:22:06Morning, Mr. Adam.

00:22:07Miss Alina left for the office early,

00:22:09but she explicitly mentioned you have full clearance for free time today.

00:22:15Of course, if you don't feel like exploring alone,

00:22:18you could always explore with me instead.

00:22:20No thanks!

00:22:22I'm terrified the Sterlings will clip another marriage contract onto my record!

00:22:25Such a waste.

00:22:27We have plenty of time.

00:22:32I must still be dreaming.

00:22:37Execute your mission in the mortal world properly.

00:22:39Olympus provides zero funding.

00:22:40Cabin repossessed.

00:22:41No slacking. Cassian.

00:22:43Are you kidding me?!

00:22:43Even the bed?!

00:22:44That old bastard's aggressively cheap!

00:22:46Bear warning, I've also taken over that old mortal debt of-

00:22:49How many outstanding debts did he drop on me?

00:22:52200 a day.

00:22:53Nine divine sigils.

00:22:55Nine keepers.

00:22:56How long am I supposed to grind this out?

00:22:58No way.

00:22:59At this rate, I'll be permanently chained to a mortal marriage contract.

00:23:05Looks like it's time to put this back on the market.

00:23:11Since Olympus cut my funding, I'll fund myself.

00:23:18Son of a bitch!

00:23:20That piece of garbage, Adam and Selene, I'm going to completely liquidate them!

00:23:24Taylor, is your only reaction to a problem running home and smashing furniture?

00:23:29If you can't keep your composure, how do you expect to remain the second son of this family?

00:23:34Victor, you're here!

00:23:36You have no idea how badly I got humiliated today!

00:23:38Selene found some generic contract husband and he completely wiped out my security detail!

00:23:42He liquidated the entire detail?

00:23:44Every single one!

00:23:45The guy is a straight up freak!

00:23:46He literally caught bullets with his bare hands and crushed a heavy tactical rotary gun into scrap metal!

00:23:52Interesting.

00:23:54What's his name?

00:23:55Adam.

00:23:57The contract husband?

00:24:00Yeah, that's him.

00:24:02I think I'll go have a chat with him myself.

00:24:04Go!

00:24:07Are you seriously blocking me?

00:24:09This beef is between me and Selene.

00:24:10If you step in as the cross-air, the streets will say I can't even handle my own woman and

00:24:13had to beg my brother for backup.

00:24:14It's too humiliating!

00:24:16As if you aren't already a laughing stock?

00:24:18That bastard Adam said my gun was soft, right?

00:24:21I'm going straight to Kane.

00:24:22The under-fight circuits know exactly how to break monsters like him!

00:24:25Kane?

00:24:26Yeah.

00:24:26Kane from the LA underground tracks.

00:24:28His crew is full of hitters.

00:24:30They've vanished problems for a living.

00:24:34Stop embarrassing the family name.

00:24:37This time I'm breaking all three of his legs.

00:24:45Step right up!

00:24:46The Olympia supply chain is officially broken.

00:24:48A corrupt elder repossessed my cabin and forced me into a mortal debt grind.

00:24:53The legendary sacred oak mud balls.

00:24:55Originally valued at thousands, today they're yours for just 99 bucks.

00:24:59Hand-rolled by Adam.

00:25:00Struck by Zoo's own lightning.

00:25:01It fixes whatever you're lacking.

00:25:02Don't miss out!

00:25:04Hey handsome.

00:25:05There's literally nothing on your table.

00:25:07What exactly are you selling?

00:25:08Custom crafted sacred oak mud balls.

00:25:10It supplements whatever your body is missing.

00:25:12Want one?

00:25:13Are you kidding me?

00:25:13A magic pill that fixes everything?

00:25:15This is a classic street hustle.

00:25:17It fixes anything?

00:25:18How much?

00:25:19I don't discuss cash.

00:25:20I operate on pure vibes.

00:25:21Speak English, pal.

00:25:24$99.

00:25:26You call that vibes vibes?

00:25:28That's a straight up robbery.

00:25:31I'll take one boss.

00:25:33You're seriously buying this?

00:25:38Did you just manifest that out of thin air?

00:25:40That is literally just a ball of gunk you scraped off your toothpick.

00:25:42You're charging 99 bucks for that?

00:25:43Regular hustlers sell place boats.

00:25:45Olympus deals in pure divine energy.

00:25:48Alright boss, this is getting ridiculous.

00:25:49You are shamelessly scamming people.

00:25:51The proof is in the results.

00:25:53Fine.

00:25:54Let's see what this ball of dirt actually does.

00:25:59Why did you just force feed me?

00:26:01You already paid for it.

00:26:02Don't let it go to waste.

00:26:03Exactly as I thought.

00:26:05Fake.

00:26:05Give her a refund.

00:26:06Told you.

00:26:07There's no such thing as a miracle cure.

00:26:09Olympus liquidation clearance.

00:26:10He spun a good yarn though.

00:26:12That's impossible.

00:26:12Zero reaction?

00:26:13Did my descent to this realm seal my core power along with that debt?

00:26:16Stop stalling.

00:26:17Money back.

00:26:23Oh my god.

00:26:24It actually works.

00:26:29Even when it works I get assaulted.

00:26:31This business is a hazard.

00:26:33My bad boss.

00:26:34I didn't expect the results to be quite so explosive.

00:26:37Holy shit.

00:26:38It's real.

00:26:39If I knew I would have taken it myself.

00:26:42Boss, I want one too.

00:26:44Like I said, I don't sell to just anyone.

00:26:46It's about the connection.

00:26:48I get it.

00:26:49My vibes are completely aligned right now.

00:26:53This time, I'm taking it myself.

00:26:56Just another pretty face scamming naive girls with parlor tricks.

00:27:00Hey boss, don't just cater to the pretty ladies.

00:27:02Run a diagnostic on me too.

00:27:03You're open for business.

00:27:04You shouldn't be picking and choosing clients, right?

00:27:07Sunken black eyes, pale lips, unstable stance, sweaty palms.

00:27:13What's your point?

00:27:14To put it simply, this isn't from hitting the gym too hard.

00:27:17You are completely drained from severe sexual exhaustion.

00:27:24He looks like a gym beast, but his battery is completely dead.

00:27:28No wonder he looks like a ghost, completely overextended.

00:27:31Who the hell hell are you calling drained?

00:27:34Keep lying, and I will smash your entire fake pharmacy setup right now!

00:27:38I can fix it.

00:27:40Boss!

00:27:41No divine doctor!

00:27:42Save my life!

00:27:43Like I said, I don't sell to just anyone.

00:27:45It's about the connection.

00:27:48I get it.

00:27:49My vibes are heavily aligned.

00:27:55Boss!

00:27:56Give me one for hair loss!

00:27:57I'm practically bald!

00:27:58Boss!

00:27:59Got anything for skin whitening?

00:28:00Boss, I can't sleep lately.

00:28:01Can I get a mental booster?

00:28:02Take it easy, take it easy.

00:28:04Manifestation takes time.

00:28:06Staring at my hands won't make it go faster.

00:28:07Young man, care to run a diagnostic on me too?

00:28:12Isn't that the patriarch of the Roland family?

00:28:14What is an elite billionaire doing in a place like this?

00:28:17I've been observing for a while.

00:28:18Your diagnostics are incredibly accurate, and your methods are unorthodox.

00:28:25So tell me, what's wrong with these old bones of mines?

00:28:29No need to check.

00:28:31Meaning?

00:28:32You are going to die today.

00:28:37You little punk, what the hell did you just say?

00:28:39I will tear you apart right-

00:28:41Stand down!

00:28:44Boss, did you miscalculate?

00:28:45This gentleman looks incredibly sharp, healthier than most kids.

00:28:48How could he possibly drop dead today?

00:28:50Exactly.

00:28:51He doesn't look like a sick man at all.

00:28:53The man clearly has premium healthcare.

00:28:55Kid, you saw his tailoring and the security details, so you're trying to land a big fish, aren't you?

00:28:59Those minor diagnostics were fine, but this is just malicious scare tactics.

00:29:02Young man, what is your metric for deciding I'm going to die today?

00:29:06Because I just watched it happen.

00:29:08Enough!

00:29:09You generic street fraud!

00:29:11Do you have any idea who this is?

00:29:12The patriarch of the Roland Empire!

00:29:14He has a top-tier medical team monitoring him hourly.

00:29:16Threatening him in public?

00:29:17You are completely finished in LA!

00:29:19Medical reports can be bought.

00:29:21The body doesn't fly.

00:29:22You're still talking back?!

00:29:25I do get examined monthly, and my doctors confirm I'm in flawless health.

00:29:31Young man, you clearly have some parlor tricks, but this time, you missed the mark entirely.

00:29:36Sir!

00:29:41Sir! Hang in there!

00:29:44Call 911! Get our private medical team on the line now!

00:29:48Hold it!

00:29:49Stop wasting time.

00:29:50The poison has already heavily compromised his vital organs.

00:29:53Moving him or causing erratic panic right now will only accelerate his expiration.

00:29:56Bullshit!

00:29:57Our master's health has been flawless!

00:29:58What metric gives you the right to call it poisoning?

00:30:00The meat trick where I said he'd die today, and now he's flatlining.

00:30:03Is that not direct enough for you?

00:30:04You're a generic street vendor.

00:30:06Just because people buy your tricks doesn't make you a doctor.

00:30:08Where is your medical license?

00:30:10Blah, blah, blah.

00:30:10The man is going cold, and you're auditing my credentials?

00:30:14I'll say it one last time!

00:30:15Get out of the way!

00:30:17If you delay his care, you can't afford the fallout!

00:30:20If you keep holding him like that, he's gone for good.

00:30:26What the hell did you do to us?

00:30:28Just giving you a moment of silence.

00:30:30Oh my god, they are completely paralyzed!

00:30:32Bella, did I almost assault a literal divine healer?

00:30:3599 bucks is starting to feel like an absolute steal.

00:30:41Don't move.

00:30:43I'm dragging you back from the threshold.

00:30:56Don't move.

00:30:57Am I still breathing?

00:31:00Temporarily, yes.

00:31:02Master!

00:31:02How do you feel?

00:31:04I'm fine.

00:31:07Young man.

00:31:08Did you resurrect me?

00:31:09Just a minor assist.

00:31:11If you were a minute later, you'd be a permanent fixture of this flea market.

00:31:13The blood he coughed up?

00:31:14The pigment is entirely wrong.

00:31:16What exactly is wrong with me?

00:31:18It's not a pathology.

00:31:20It's a lethal toxin.

00:31:22Toxin?

00:31:22I monitor my nutrition flawlessly and my medical team runs continuous audits.

00:31:26How could I be poisoned?

00:31:27A medical report can be forged to look beautiful.

00:31:29Toxin doesn't just evaporate.

00:31:30Who has the audacity to poison the patriarch?

00:31:33Lucas Rollin, your own grandson.

00:31:36For three years, he's been micro-doting your coffee, vitamins, and evening teas.

00:31:39The dosage was minor, but highly effective.

00:31:41Impossible.

00:31:41Master Lucas is exceptionally devoted.

00:31:43He shares tea with the patriarch daily.

00:31:44He would never!

00:31:44Devotion is easily rehearsed.

00:31:46Whether you believe it or not is zero concern of mine.

00:31:49This targets the core of the Roland Binniston.

00:31:51I cannot condemn him based on words alone.

00:31:52Which is why I'm not telling you to condemn him right now.

00:31:59This will buy you exactly seven days of life.

00:32:01Host an elite gala seven days from now and summon every core member of the Roland blood lane.

00:32:05The culprit will expose themselves instantly.

00:32:07Seven days from now?

00:32:09Yeah.

00:32:09Play it cool.

00:32:10Go back, drink your tea, and smile.

00:32:11Let him think everything is going according to plan.

00:32:12I clear the medical emergency, you settle the family ledger.

00:32:15Young man.

00:32:16In seven days, the Roland estate will be entirely at your disposal.

00:32:20If you locate the traitor, this empire will owe you an immeasurable debt.

00:32:29Mr. Adam.

00:32:30Seven days from now, my estate awaits you.

00:32:33Sure thing.

00:32:34Just don't forget my fee.

00:32:38Your own grandson trying to liquidate you.

00:32:40Eating at a billionaire's table seems hazardous.

00:32:43Boss!

00:32:44Give me the hair loss cure!

00:32:45I'm completely desperate!

00:32:46I need skin whitening!

00:32:47Name your price!

00:32:47Boss!

00:32:48My sleep is completely wrecked.

00:32:49Can you fix my mental exhaustion?

00:32:51Me first!

00:32:52I was literally in line!

00:32:54Boss!

00:32:54I want an extra one for backup!

00:32:56Don't crowd!

00:32:57One by one!

00:33:01Ma'am, extract your hand from my pocket.

00:33:03I deal in divine mud balls, not companionship.

00:33:07At this velocity, clearing Cassian's garbage debt isn't entirely possible.

00:33:12Sir, that man diagnosed you immediately and neutralized both of us without moving a smill.

00:33:15He is exceptionally high tier.

00:33:17Is it wise to just let him walk?

00:33:18It feels hazardous.

00:33:19Premium medicals physical combat power completely unfazed and he openly collected cash.

00:33:23A man like that is an asset you do not offend.

00:33:25You secure an alliance.

00:33:26But his claim that Master Lucas is poisoning you, that is an absolute crisis.

00:33:30I am fully aware.

00:33:34Erin is already in her early twenties, isn't she?

00:33:36Yes, sir.

00:33:37Miss Erin has been focused on corporate operations lately.

00:33:39She hasn't returned to the estate in days.

00:33:42Erin is completely clean and highly methodical.

00:33:44Competence-wise, she's far better suited to inherit the Roland dynasty than Lucas.

00:33:47Have her manage the logistics with Mr. Adam and Days.

00:33:49Let's fill the nearest estate in a setting.

00:33:51She might resent it.

00:33:52This isn't a setup.

00:33:53It's securing a backup plan for the entire Roland legacy.

00:33:56And Master Lucas?

00:33:58Do you genuinely suspect him?

00:34:00He is your direct bloodline, after all.

00:34:04The human heart is a complete void, especially within billionaire corporate dynasties.

00:34:09For cash, equity, and inheritance, people will commit the most malicious atrocities.

00:34:13Keep a tight surveillance on Lucas.

00:34:15Flawless normal behavior.

00:34:17Do not trigger any suspicion.

00:34:18Understood, sir.

00:34:22What are the current metrics on the Sterling family?

00:34:24Intelligence to Taylor Cross attempted to force a proposal on Miss Selena.

00:34:27But his entire squad was ejected of the Sterling estate.

00:34:30Oh?

00:34:31The Cross family fully blacked out the media, so the exact metrics are tight.

00:34:34But rumors suggest the enforcer wasn't Sterling's security.

00:34:37It was Miss Selena's contract husband.

00:34:40Contract husband?

00:34:41Yes, sir.

00:34:46Selena is exceptionally strategic.

00:34:48The Cross family is the absolute top player conglomerate in LA.

00:34:51Immense power.

00:34:52Why would Miss Selena reject Taylor Cross and choose a completely anonymous contra-husband instead?

00:34:57Precisely because the Cross family is number one.

00:35:00That is exactly why she couldn't choose Taylor.

00:35:03The Rollins are solid at number two, stable infrastructure.

00:35:06The Howard family is at number three, highly conservative premium caution.

00:35:09Only the Steelings, due to internal corporate civil wars, lost their momentum.

00:35:14They are on the verge of slipping out of the elite tier.

00:35:16Selena is the only high-performing asset left in the Sterling bloodline.

00:35:18If she marries Taylor, it looks like an alliance, but it's actually delivering Sterling pilots straight to the Cross portfolio.

00:35:23Incredible strategy.

00:35:24The Crosses have been increasingly ill because of their number one rank.

00:35:27Taylor Cross is completely spoiled by his family.

00:35:29The kid has zero concept of boundaries.

00:35:30Now that he's been liquidated by the Sterling contract husband, he won't just walk away.

00:35:34A major corporate storm is definitely brewing.

00:35:37Should we intervene?

00:35:38Negative for now.

00:35:39Just run tight intelligence on both the Sterlings and the Crosses.

00:35:42Report any shift immediately.

00:35:43Understood, sir.

00:35:46If Lucas is genuinely a trader, I might have to deploy a premium budget to lock in Mr. Adam as

00:35:53the Rollins' son-in-law.

00:36:04You're Adam, right?

00:36:06That's me.

00:36:07If you're here for mud balls, get in line.

00:36:09If you're here to throw down, make it fast.

00:36:11Someone wired a premium budget to ensure you get fully broken.

00:36:17Who?

00:36:18You have zero need to know.

00:36:27Then you better compensate me for damages first.

00:36:31Boys!

00:36:32Break him!

00:36:37This is impossible!

00:36:49Interesting.

00:36:50Did not think you actually had real weight.

00:36:53No wonder someone dropped half a million dollars to acquire your three legs.

00:36:57Half a million?

00:36:59Taylor commissioned you?

00:37:00Did not he?

00:37:02Nobody else is this pathetic.

00:37:04Outsourcing a beatdown because they lost a fight.

00:37:07It was indeed Master Taylor.

00:37:09But I operate on my own protocol and I highly respect real competences.

00:37:13How about this?

00:37:13I only break your third leg.

00:37:15It will not compromise your mobility and it completely sieves your illusion of competing with Taylor for the woman.

00:37:20Sound fair?

00:37:21You guys are hilarious.

00:37:23You cannot secure a woman so you attempt to mutilate the competition?

00:37:27And you are tracking my third, Boyg.

00:37:29You are not even qualified.

00:37:31Fine!

00:37:32You want to do this the hard way?

00:37:33You are begging for a termination!

00:37:35I do not do hard ways or easy ways.

00:37:36If we are throwing down, execute now.

00:37:38Stop stalling.

00:37:39I need to get back to my debt grind.

00:37:40The last guy who spoke to me with that frequency has grass growing over his head.

00:37:44Boys, liquidate this clown!

00:37:52Must be nice being young.

00:37:54They go straight to sleep.

00:37:57You...

00:37:58I will bury you myself!

00:38:06Boss Kane.

00:38:08Now, crawl over, retrieve my cash, and get on your knees to apologize.

00:38:16I'm on it!

00:38:18Retrieving right now!

00:38:19Boss, the cash is fully accounted for.

00:38:21Plus, the Taylor's half-million dollar budget.

00:38:23Consider it my compensation.

00:38:25I was completely blind.

00:38:26I shouldn't have accepted Taylor's contract to threaten you.

00:38:28Have mercy on me this once.

00:38:30See?

00:38:31Was the beatdown strictly necessary to understand where the cash belongs?

00:38:36Absolutely, Boss.

00:38:37You're entirely right.

00:38:38If I ever see you executing contracts for Taylor again,

00:38:42a beatdown will be the least of your concerns.

00:38:44Get lost.

00:38:46Yes, sir!

00:38:47We are evacuating immediately!

00:38:50Decent liquidation today.

00:38:52One small step closer to wiping out that garbage debt that old bastard Casey dropped on me.

00:39:00Where the hell were you all afternoon?

00:39:05Peddling my sacred oak mud balls, obviously.

00:39:09Trying to accelerate the liquidation of that old debt.

00:39:13Grinding all day, retaining a minor lunch budget is completely valid.

00:39:21With that velocity, you are completely wasting your talent by not robbing banks.

00:39:29This cash doesn't even cover the interest on your deficit.

00:39:32Even a deficit has dignity.

00:39:36At this accumulation rate, the marriage contract will inherit by the next generation before you clear it.

00:39:43Exactly, brother-in-law.

00:39:44How long do you plan to grind on the streets?

00:39:46You have premium housing and food here.

00:39:49Zero exposure to the elements.

00:39:51It's flawless.

00:39:53True, Mr. Adam.

00:39:54If you remain at the estate, I can ensure you are... exceptionally comfortable.

00:40:02Fine. Contract husband it is.

00:40:04I haven't won a single negotiation since the moment I got kicked down from the mountain anyway.

00:40:07What contract husband?

00:40:09What's the massive celebration about?

00:40:13Adam's petty cash from peddling gunk on the streets.

00:40:16Grinding all afternoon for this minor yield?

00:40:18Honestly, with your assets, being Selena's husband full-time pays a lot faster than selling black mud.

00:40:23Thanks for the evaluation, but I have zero interest in liquidating myself to clear a debt.

00:40:27Let's talk business.

00:40:28The Roland Patriarch is hosting his gala in seven days.

00:40:31The entire elite corporate circle will be present, and the Cross family is a lock.

00:40:33Taylor failure his proposal, he will definitely weaponize the event to sabotage us.

00:40:37Plus the board members, they already resent Selena managing Sterling Technological alone.

00:40:40If the Cross family suppresses us at the gala, the board will definitely exploit it to instigate a coup.

00:40:44No wonder she drafted me as a husband.

00:40:45Cross on the outside, a hostile board on the inside.

00:40:48Her metrics are just as stressful as mine.

00:40:50Selena, maybe we bypass this gala.

00:40:51The Cross family is definitely treating this as a prime ambush opportunity.

00:40:54Negative. Bypassing is not an option.

00:40:56Sterling's current market position is highly volatile.

00:40:58The Rollins are conservative and refuse to choose a side, but the Howards are a guaranteed presence.

00:41:02If I secure a partnership with the Howard family, it completely stabilizes Sterling Biologici's crisis.

00:41:06I can resolve the Sterling crisis myself.

00:41:10Resolve it? With the lease change you liquidated from your street peddling today?

00:41:15The cash volume is minor, but the commitment is premium.

00:41:18Just stay at the estate and stop instigating trouble.

00:41:21You've already offended Taylor. The Cross family could deploy a retaliation at any interval.

00:41:26Too late. He already deployed it, and inadvertently wired me half a million dollars.

00:41:30Whatever. We'll cross paths at the Roland Gala anyway.

00:41:34I'll liquidate all the problems at once.

00:41:36Fine, your call. Just summon me for the gala.

00:41:39My protocol will be to stand there and avoid starting fires.

00:41:42I highly hope you execute that flawlessly.

00:41:45I'll attempt it. Though trouble usually manifests its own legs to track me down.

00:41:50What did you just say? The contract was a failure?

00:41:53Master Taylor, the guy is a straight up anomaly.

00:41:58Immense combat power.

00:42:00I deployed a dozen hitters, and he neutralized the entire squad effortlessly.

00:42:04Generic trash. I cleared a half million budget, and you can't even neutralize a single contract husband?

00:42:09You have the audacity to call me?

00:42:10Yeah, I'm trash.

00:42:13But the boys are severely broken. We need medical coverage.

00:42:16When is the remaining balance processing?

00:42:18Balance? You blew the contract? I should be auditing you for my losses.

00:42:22You want cash? Keep dreaming.

00:42:23Boss, what's our next course of action?

00:42:26Since he's cutting the budget, we secure a new boss.

00:42:36Invitation, sir?

00:42:38An invitation?

00:42:39Zero access without an invitation.

00:42:41This is an elite Roland event, not a swap meet.

00:42:44And here I thought doors were designed for human transit.

00:42:47No invitation means evacuate the perimeter.

00:42:51Stop obstructing the elite guests.

00:42:53Well, well.

00:42:55If it isn't Selena's cheap contract husband.

00:42:58A low-tier nobody like you attempting to infiltrate a Roland Holla?

00:43:02See this? This is your entry credential.

00:43:04You're flashing that paper with a lot of ego.

00:43:06I thought you won the lottery.

00:43:08Zero credentials and you're still talking trash?

00:43:11My protocol is different from yours. I don't need paper to gain entry.

00:43:14Zero credentials and maximum arrogance?

00:43:16Do you have any metric for the caliber of guests today?

00:43:18If you disrupt the Patriarch's Gala, you cannot survive the liability.

00:43:24Cut the act out of it.

00:43:25Who could you possibly know? Don't waste your breath.

00:43:30I'm here.

00:43:31At the front door.

00:43:34Whether I'm faking it or not, you're about to find out.

00:43:36What's the rush?

00:43:38Adam, my boy.

00:43:40You finally made it.

00:43:41I've been waiting forever.

00:43:43Why are you still standing outside?

00:43:45I was just about to head in, but these guys said I don't look the part.

00:43:49This man is my personal guest of honor. How dare you bar his entry?

00:43:53Mr. Roland, sir, we didn't know.

00:43:55After you, Adam.

00:43:57Told ya.

00:43:58Don't need an invitation to get in.

00:44:08Taylor, I'm almost at the hall. Get out here and meet me right now.

00:44:11You'll pay for this here today. I'm blessed you who may wish you never stepped foot in here.

00:44:16Mr. Howard, Sterling Biotech is eager to forge a partnership with your family.

00:44:23I'm confident that by joining forces, we can achieve unparalleled mutual success.

00:44:28Selena, you know exactly how much weight the Cross family carries in LA.

00:44:33They've been getting more ruthless by the day.

00:44:36As for a partnership, I'm gonna need more time to think it over.

00:44:41Excuse me, I'll be right back.

00:44:44Adam? How did you get in here? And why are you with Mr. Roland?

00:44:48Oh, the old man and I crossed paths when I was selling my sacred oak charcoal pills.

00:44:53He took a liking to them, so he invited me over for his birthday bash.

00:44:57Seriously?

00:44:58Cross my heart. Why would I lie to you?

00:45:01It's not like lying cuts down my debt.

00:45:04Adam, you and Mrs. Sterling are...

00:45:07I'm her heavily bankrolled contract hush.

00:45:12You have impeccable taste, Selena, locking down Adam before anyone else could.

00:45:17Adam, the gala is about to start, so if you'll excuse me, feel free to mangle.

00:45:21Let my staff know if you need anything at all.

00:45:24Mr. Roland's health has been failing lately.

00:45:27Be careful with those pills you sold him.

00:45:29If anything goes sideways.

00:45:31Given the state Sterling is in, the best I can do is try to keep the Rolands from tearing you

00:45:37limb from limb.

00:45:37Relax. I sell cure-alls, not poison.

00:45:41The crosses are here today. Especially Victor, Taylor's older brother. He's a viper. Stay close to me and don't wander

00:45:48off.

00:45:48Don't worry. Whoever lines up, I'll knock him down.

00:45:51Can you stop making everything sound like an impending street fight?

00:45:54Hey, I'm usually a pacifist until trouble knocks on my door.

00:45:57Grandpa, wishing you boundless joy and a long, long life.

00:46:00I carved this birthday gift with my own two hands. I hope you love it.

00:46:04Is that an auspicious Agamhidrushi? That's worth tens of millions? And Aaron snagged it?

00:46:10Carving it yourself to that standard. Talk about devotion.

00:46:13Good girl. I absolutely cherish this gift.

00:46:16Agarwood isn't an easy medium to work with. This Aaron girl really put her heart into it.

00:46:20What? Eyeing her up already?

00:46:22Whoa! Don't throw around wild accusations. Dealing with you is exhausting enough.

00:46:25If another woman gets thrown into the mix, Cassian will be lighting incense for my funeral.

00:46:32Victor, look. That's him. That's Adam.

00:46:35It's a flawless, irreplaceable masterpiece. May it bring you perfect health and eternal prosperity.

00:46:40Spoken like a true heir, Lucas. The quality of that jade is supreme, and the craftsmanship is jaw-block.

00:46:45A treasure like this is a once-in-a-lifetime find.

00:46:48A mere block of wood could never do justice to Grandpa's stature.

00:46:52Watch your mouth, Lucas.

00:46:53Alright, that's enough. Both of your gifts represent your love.

00:46:57I cherish them both.

00:47:01Hold it right there.

00:47:06That thing isn't a blessing for longevity.

00:47:09It's a lethal weapon dripping with poison.

00:47:11Who the hell is this guy? To run his mouth like that at Mr. Rowland's gala?

00:47:17Lucas spent months sourcing this masterpiece. How could it possibly be poisoned?

00:47:22He's out of his damn mind.

00:47:27What kind of twisted lie is this? Poisoned?

00:47:31Adam, are you absolutely certain? This is the Rowland family. If you're wrong, you're making an enemy of the entire

00:47:37dynasty.

00:47:38Take it easy. I'm not desperate enough to crash a party just to make a buck.

00:47:43You're just a classless nobody who wouldn't know luxury if it hit him in the face.

00:47:46This jade booty is a priceless relic certified by master appraisers. Keep your slanderous mouth shut.

00:47:52A priceless relic? Looks more like a custom-built delivery system for toxins.

00:47:56What? You're full of crap! I get it. You're just a freeloading scammer who snuck in here to cause a

00:48:02scene, aren't you?

00:48:03Security! Throw this trash out!

00:48:09Let's see who dares touch him.

00:48:13Adam is my honored guest. No one in this room has the authority to remove him.

00:48:22Grandpa, I don't mean to disrespect your guest, but he's publicly trashing my gift to you. He's spitting in the

00:48:27face of the Rowland family!

00:48:28Adam, are you completely sure about this jade booty?

00:48:36Dead certain. This isn't a natural imperfection in the stone. It's a toxic deposit.

00:48:41The poison seeps through the veins of the yade over time.

00:48:44Prolonged exposure ensures complete organ failure. And wouldn't you know it?

00:48:48It's the exact same toxin that almost put Mr. Rowland in the ground days ago.

00:49:00It's just a tiny speck! What kind of medical authority are you basing this on? Where's your proof?

00:49:07The proof is elementary.

00:49:10This specific toxin reacts violently when exposed to direct bloodlines.

00:49:14Just take a single drop of blood from any biological family member and place it on the jade.

00:49:19The truth will show itself instantly.

00:49:27You brought the gift.

00:49:31Since you're so sure it's clean, why don't you clear your name right now?

00:49:39Why should I dance to your tune? Who's to say you won't rig the whole test?

00:49:44You're not afraid of me rigging it. You're terrified of getting caught red-handed.

00:49:53If he's too chicken, I'll do it.

00:49:58Shady things hate the spotlight. They can't handle real scrutiny.

00:50:03The more defensive you get, the more obvious it is you're hiding a corpse in the closet.

00:50:14Grandpa's life is paramount.

00:50:16If there's even a fraction of a thrust, I won't let him touch this thing.

00:50:20Adam, I'll provide the blood.

00:50:23Aaron, absolutely not!

00:50:24This has nothing to do with you, kid. Stand back.

00:50:27Being a loyal granddaughter is great, but dying for it is stupid.

00:50:31See that? You won't even use her blood! You're clearly just targeting me!

00:50:35Yeah, exactly. I am 100% targeting you.

00:50:39What do you think you're doing? Get off me!

00:50:43Just saving me from your own hesitation.

00:51:00Lucas! It really was you? You poisoned him?

00:51:04Don't touch the statue itself. Handle it by the base.

00:51:07The mastermind behind this wasn't Payist.

00:51:10All the filthy stuff is cooked into the bottom.

00:51:13No! It wasn't me! I was just...

00:51:16Don't even try denying it. The second his blood hit the base, the whole damn thing rotted out.

00:51:20Gifting a poisoned Buddha to his own grandfather? The Rollins are never gonna live down this disgrace.

00:51:25An absolute abomination. A curse upon my house!

00:51:29This toxin moves fast. Right now, it's just a black hand.

00:51:32But give it a minute, and it'll rot him from the inside out.

00:51:35Whether he keeps his life is a coin toss, and even if he survives, he'll likely be a vegetable.

00:51:44Victor, you have to save me! You sourced this poison for me!

00:51:47You must have the antidote! You swore nothing would go wrong!

00:51:57Have you lost your damn mind, Lucas? I never gave you any poison.

00:52:01You literally told me that once the old man was dead, the Rolly Empire would fall right into my lap!

00:52:07You said, once Cross and Rolly allied, we'd run the entirety of LA!

00:52:12Say one more word, and I'll make sure you suffer a fate ten times worse than that poison.

00:52:17Lucas, I tried to bail you out financially because I thought we were friends.

00:52:20To pin the attempted murder of your own flesh and blood on me?

00:52:23I am deeply disappointed in you.

00:52:26See, in this world, the human mouth can lie all day long.

00:52:30But the speed of a toxin never does.

00:52:36Man, he cut ties fast. They say what you want about the Cross family, but they sure know how to

00:52:40wash their hands of blood.

00:52:42Watch your mouth, Adam. Accusations require evidence.

00:52:45Oh, don't worry. Evidence has a funny way of walking right through the door when it's ready. Just like trouble.

00:52:53Grandpa, I'm sorry! I was blinded by greed! Please save me! For the sake of our family, give me the

00:52:58antidote!

00:53:00I am not the man you should be begging.

00:53:05Adam! Please, I'm begging you cure me! If you make me whole again, I'll do anything! Anything you want!

00:53:11Anything? Alright, let's start with a full confession. Write down every cooked book, every dose of poison, and every contact.

00:53:19Don't wanna write? Fine by me. No confession, no cure.

00:53:23If your hands were actually clean, you wouldn't be terrified of writing down the truth.

00:53:28Start writing. I'm not gonna say it twice.

00:53:33No ink, no antidote. Rot away for all I care.

00:53:47Security, take Lucas downstairs and lock him down.

00:53:52Effective immediately, he does not take one single step out of this estate without my explicit authorization.

00:53:58I apologize that my family drama disrupted the afternoon.

00:54:01If there is nothing else, please feel free to show yourselves out.

00:54:05Since you're indisposed, Mr. Rowland, we won't overstay our welcome. Good day.

00:54:16Damn that, Adam! If he had not stuck his nose into our business, the Rowland Empire would already be ours!

00:54:24The Rowland play is dead, but we still have Sterling.

00:54:29Selina is the easiest target on the board right now.

00:54:35But Adam is glued to her side.

00:54:39Then we bleed Sterling Group dry until it is a hollow shell.

00:54:43When she is desperate, she will crawl to cross on her knees.

00:54:47As for Adam, I am gonna show him that being a good fighter does not mean you win the game.

00:54:55Grandpa! Are you okay?

00:54:58I am fine. I can manage.

00:55:06Adam, if it were not for you today, my life would have ended at the hands of my own grandson.

00:55:13From this moment on, the entire weight and resources of the Rowland family are at your disposal.

00:55:21Have him take this in three separate doses.

00:55:24It will completely purge the system within seven days.

00:55:27Do not overdo it, this stuff packs a serious punch, and a mortal body can only handle so much.

00:55:31Thank you, Adam.

00:55:36You know, Erin has been sharp since she was a kid, and she knows her way around medicine.

00:55:41If you're interested, Adam, she could show you around our family's private dispensatory.

00:55:47It's always good for young people to connect.

00:55:51That won't be necessary.

00:55:53Mr. Rowland, we appreciate the hospitality, but Adam is my contract husband.

00:55:57It's probably best for him and Erin to keep a respectful distance.

00:56:02Contract husband?

00:56:05So you're the one who put Taylor Cross in his place the other day.

00:56:09Guilty as charged.

00:56:10Drafted into service, so my customer service rating is pretty low.

00:56:13You have a keen eye, Selina.

00:56:15But I take it there hasn't been an official wedding yet?

00:56:18Adam, if you ever look for a change of scenery to be a son-in-law,

00:56:23the Rowland doors are always wide open for you.

00:56:33Selina and I are in a committed partnership, so I have no plans to jump ship.

00:56:38I appreciate the offer, Mr. Rowland.

00:56:40Fair enough. If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me.

00:56:43This old man has had enough excitement for one day, so I'll take my lead.

00:56:46Please, make yourselves at home.

00:56:48Mr. Rowland, please wait. There are corporate matters I need to discuss with you.

00:56:51Regarding the balance of power between the families?

00:57:02Walk with me then.

00:57:11You really are full of surprises, Adam.

00:57:14Catching bullets, saving lives, detecting poisons.

00:57:18No wonder Grandpa thinks the world of you.

00:57:20You flatter me. Just basic party tricks, nothing major.

00:57:26A trick that saves the patriarch of the Rowland family is worth a fortune.

00:57:33Why don't we exchange numbers?

00:57:35That way, if I ever run into trouble, I know exactly who to consult.

00:57:40That's a bit inconvenient. I am technically property of the Sterling household right now.

00:57:47A contract is just paper, not a chain, and even chains have keys.

00:57:56The Rowland family values elite talent. We'd love to have you.

00:58:02Whatever Selina is offering, run. I can double it. She keeps you as a puppet husband. I can give you

00:58:12real power to run things here at Rowland.

00:58:16Aaron, your corporate headhunting strategy is getting dangerously aggressive.

00:58:21I just recognize true value when I see it. How long can Selina protect you anyway? She can barely keep

00:58:26her own grip on Sterling Group right now.

00:58:28Whether she holds her ground is her business. Whether I run is mine.

00:58:36Then why are you afraid to look me in the eye?

00:58:43Hey, modesty is a virtue. Your family just locked up a poisoner. I really don't want to get busted next

00:58:49for a public decency violation.

00:58:53It's not like I'm going to press charges. If you align with me, Adam, you won't just get a look.

00:58:59You can do whatever you want.

00:59:01What exactly is going on here?

00:59:08What does it look like we're doing, Selina?

00:59:19I'm completely innocent. She made the first move.

00:59:25Aaron, Adam is my husband. Your behavior is incredibly inappropriate.

00:59:33Husband? Please, he's a contract husband. No official wedding, no public announcement. Since there's no ring on that finger publicly,

00:59:41he's fair game.

00:59:43The Rollins are supposed to be a respectable family. Poaching another woman's man is a pretty trashy look, don't you

00:59:50think?

00:59:51In my world, elite talent goes to the highest bidder.

00:59:56One hundred million dollars. Walk away with me, Adam. I'll liquidate your debt, and you'll call the shots at Rollin.

01:00:02What do you say?

01:00:05What's it going to be, Adam?

01:00:06Uh, nature calls. It's an absolute emergency. You two have fun chatting. I'm going to go ponder life with a

01:00:11bathroom stall.

01:00:13Hera wants me dead, Cassian wants me screwed, and now these two want to oxen me off. Fate has a

01:00:17twisted sense of humor.

01:00:20Well, Selina, it looks like your man isn't exactly ride or die for you.

01:00:25He belongs to me. That fact is non-negotiable. We'll see about that. Power shifts, and may the best woman

01:00:33win.

01:00:36Thank God I have good cardio. Those two are scarier than a divine lightning strike. Any longer and they would

01:00:41have put a barcode on me.

01:00:43Who's there?

01:00:46Oh, it's just you. What, here for round two?

01:00:53Boss. Adam. Please, let me be your lieutenant.

01:00:56Lieutenant, I don't run a crew. Get up off the floor.

01:01:06You dismantled me and a dozen of my best guys without breaking a sweat.

01:01:08I've never bowed to anyone in life, but I bow to you. I'm not getting up until you say yes.

01:01:11Is everyone in the mortal realm this clingy when they surrender?

01:01:14Fine, you're in. But here's your first assignment. Stay close to Taylor.

01:01:16Go deep cover and track every single move the Cross family makes.

01:01:19Understood, boss. Consider it done.

01:01:21Excuse me, young man. May I have a moment of your time?

01:01:24Bella, you two know each other?

01:01:25A pleasure to meet you, Adam. You're clearly a man of rare talents.

01:01:28Here is my card.

01:01:30The Howard family always aligns with people of true substance.

01:01:37Since alignment is on the table, why wait?

01:01:39There's a private lounge over there. Let's sit down and talk real business.

01:01:52Spoken like a man after my own heart.

01:02:06Adam, our discussion today has shed a completely new light on things.

01:02:10I'm going to have my team review the Sterling partnership immediately.

01:02:12Appreciate it. Just don't drag your feet. In business, if you leave a gap, the bad guys tend to cut

01:02:16in line.

01:02:18Wise words.

01:02:20Adam, it's getting late. Why don't I have my driver drop you guys off?

01:02:23Thanks for the offer, but we brought our own car. We can manage.

01:02:27Adam, if Selena's ever too busy to keep you a company, call me. My schedule is wide open for you.

01:02:33I'll check my calendar.

01:02:39With a face like that, it doesn't look like we just saved your company. It looks like you're drafting my

01:02:43obituary.

01:02:45We talk when we get home.

01:02:53First off, the Roland girl did all the digging herself. I didn't supply the shovel.

01:02:56Who the hell are you, Adam? Why does Mr. Roland treat you like an oracle?

01:03:00Why is Howard playing ball with you and Aaron? Why is she hunting you down?

01:03:03Maybe I just have one of those faces, like a stray cat that trouble wants to adopt.

01:03:08Do you think the Rolands are a better fit? Do you think Aaron is a better option than me?

01:03:14Is that jealousy I smell?

01:03:17Don't flatter yourself.

01:03:18It's practically written all over your face.

01:03:22Whatever you think, as long as this contract stands, you belong to the Sterling house. You're not going anywhere.

01:03:26Possessive much? Because if this is the standard treatment, that $100 million offer at Roland is starting to look real

01:03:31good.

01:03:31Real freedom. No midnight interrogations.

01:03:33Let me make one thing clear, Adam. I don't. I do divorce.

01:03:35Dead or alive, your name is on that contract. You are mine.

01:03:38Does the Sterling family philosophy of ownership come standard in the contract annex?

01:03:52I'm spent. Selena looks like a CEO, but her stamina is Olympian.

01:03:56If this keeps up, I'm going to expire in the mortal realm before I ever see Mount Olympias again.

01:04:00Jesus!

01:04:00Well, you guys were making enough noise last night to keep the whole block awake.

01:04:02I didn't get a wink of sleep. Don't you think I deserve a little compensation, Adam?

01:04:05Look, I'm already a casualty. I don't accept secondary rescue missions.

01:04:08Rough night, brother-in-law? Drink up while it's hot?

01:04:10Don't tell me or you're trying to get a piece of me, too.

01:04:12Shut up! Don't flatter yourself. You're strictly forbidden from having inappropriate thoughts about me.

01:04:16Strictly forbidden, okay?

01:04:19This place isn't an estate. It's a labyrinth. Every door leads to a hazard zone.

01:04:25No, I need an exit strategy. I need to go make some honest money.

01:04:30Where do you think you're going? Aren't you going to take a breather?

01:04:33Selling pills, liquidating debt, staying alive.

01:04:39Step right up, folks.

01:04:41The divine, divine sacred oak charcoal pills are back in stock.

01:04:45They might look dark, but the results are pure light. Guaranteed efficacy.

01:04:50Adam! Boss! We've got a massive problem!

01:04:53Don't lose your head. Even if the sky is falling, you wait in line.

01:04:57Kane sent me to find you. Taylor and Victor just rolled up to Sterling Biotech with a massive crew of

01:05:01heavy hitters.

01:05:02Kane is tracking them right now, but he says the whole place is turning into a war zone.

01:05:06At Sterling Group?

01:05:09Yes! Selena is trapped inside the executive wing!

01:05:13This is a private executive office. What the hell do you think you're doing breaching this floor?

01:05:19Executive office? Enjoy it while it lasts, Selena, because your time as CEO expires today.

01:05:28I've mobilized the minority shareholders and locked down 30% of Sterling Biotech's total stock.

01:05:33You're sitting on a measly 25%.

01:05:35As of right now, I am the majority shareholder.

01:05:38The board has officially demanded your immediate removal from the CEO position.

01:05:41Martin, you're jumping into bed with the Cross family to sell out Sterling's interests?

01:05:46History is written by the victors. You're too green, Selena.

01:05:50The Sterling family can't afford to let you play your little games anymore.

01:05:55I told you a long time ago, marry me and you lose absolutely nothing.

01:05:59It's not too late to swallow your pride.

01:06:02Bend the knee and I might let you keep a nice, empty title as a figurehead CEO.

01:06:07You are a pathetic, spineless coward, Taylor!

01:06:10Now that Adam's gone, let's see who's going to save you.

01:06:15You even forged the internal board resolution.

01:06:18Looks like this wasn't a last minute plan.

01:06:24I couldn't be bothered to deal with you before out of respect for Selena.

01:06:28But now you're running your mouth in front of me?

01:06:32Taylor, this is strictly corporate business between our two companies.

01:06:36Ava has nothing to do with this.

01:06:38Then it has everything to do with you.

01:06:40Today, you either sign these papers and get the hell out of that chair or you marry me.

01:06:44Don't worry, I'll find a very special place to handle both you and your little assistant.

01:06:48The wise adapt to their environment.

01:06:50Selena, for the sake of whatever history we used to have, exit gracefully and I won't make things too difficult

01:06:54for you.

01:06:56In your dreams.

01:07:01It's in black and white.

01:07:03Your defiance means absolutely nothing.

01:07:08Let's see who's brave enough to lay a finger on her.

01:07:11I take off for five minutes to open my stand and you guys immediately move in to smash my rice

01:07:15bowl.

01:07:19Adam?

01:07:20What are you doing here?

01:07:22I heard some clowns were taking advantage of my absence to harass my primary line of credit.

01:07:30What took you so long?

01:07:31We almost got chewed up and spit out.

01:07:35Traffic.

01:07:36Plus, I brought my storefront sign just in case you failed to recognize my professional credentials.

01:07:39I remember telling you, if I caught you bothering Selena again, it wouldn't be a gun getting broken.

01:07:44Your memory is apparently as short as your courage.

01:07:48Stay right there!

01:07:49I've got my brother and a whole army backing me today!

01:07:52Touch me and you're a dead man!

01:07:54Kane!

01:07:55Don't just stand there!

01:07:56Take him down!

01:07:58Are you blind?

01:07:59I told you to hit him!

01:08:01Boss.

01:08:04Since when are you on his payroll?

01:08:07Let me give you a reality check.

01:08:09I walked out of the dark and into the light.

01:08:11Rolling with Adam offers a future unlike backing a privileged punk like you.

01:08:15You can be broke, but you can't be blind.

01:08:17Your leader already made the smart play.

01:08:20What are the rest of you waiting for?

01:08:21This is mutiny!

01:08:22Victor, you saw that!

01:08:24They don't give a damn about the cross name!

01:08:25Kill them all!

01:08:27Wipe that smug look off their faces!

01:08:30Running to Big Brother the second you are outmatched?

01:08:33You have really mastered that particular skill.

01:08:35Adam, I know you can throw a punch, but this is not a street brawl.

01:08:38The contract is right here and the shares are accounted for.

01:08:40The hostile takeover of Sterling Group is already etched in stone.

01:08:43No matter how strong your hands are, you cannot erase ink on paper.

01:08:46Drop it, Adam.

01:08:48The Cross family came fully locked and loaded.

01:08:52There is no reason for you to drown in this sinking ship for me.

01:08:58Are you kidding?

01:09:00If the Sterling house falls, what is my status as a contract husband?

01:09:03I have not even finished milking my sugar mama lifestyle yet.

01:09:07Big words.

01:09:08Since you insist on playing the martyr, don't expect a shred of mercy from Cross.

01:09:14Hold your horses.

01:09:15Are not you popping the champagne a bit too early?

01:09:20You think you are the only one who can place a phone call?

01:09:26The paperwork might be arranged, but have you actually secured the core R&D data and patent portfolios?

01:09:38Mr. Rowland?

01:09:42Mr. Howard?

01:09:42What is the meaning of this intrusion?

01:09:44Selina, here is the official 10% block of Sterling shares acquired by the Rowland family.

01:09:48The contracts are fully executed and we are transferring ownership to you right now.

01:09:51The Howard family has secured an identical 10% stake.

01:09:53Selina, consider our joint venture active as of today.

01:09:56That's a fresh 20%.

01:09:57Combine that with Selina's baseline 25 and she is sitting at a dominant 45%.

01:10:01Ultimate control.

01:10:02Victor, does your little 30% alliance even qualify you to sit at the table anymore?

01:10:06Executing a silent accumulation of that magnitude requires flawless institutional planning.

01:10:10When exactly did you engineer this Fester function?

01:10:13Perfect timing.

01:10:14Exactly 24 hours ahead of your schedule.

01:10:17Impossible!

01:10:18Our operational security was airtight.

01:10:19There is no way we had a leak!

01:10:21Didn't need a leak.

01:10:22You guys practically broadcast generic villain all over your faces.

01:10:25I'd have to be blind to miss it.

01:10:26Rowland, Howard.

01:10:27Cross has no bad blood with your institutions.

01:10:29Are you truly willing to break the peace and wage war against my family for this nobody?

01:10:32I personally bet it's infinitely more value than a room full of suits trying to hijack a board.

01:10:39Don't try to play the cross card to intimidate me, boy.

01:10:42I was running an empire while you were still sitting in the back row listening to board lectures.

01:10:48Adam saved my life.

01:10:50Furthermore, the Cross family's unbrawled tactical has your step lines for too long.

01:10:53Instead of waiting for you to cannibalize Sturst and eventually turn your sights a threat right now.

01:10:57Fine.

01:10:58Since you reject a civilized resolution and choose violence, you can all rot together.

01:11:02Last time, Taylor brought a single piece of hardware and I thought that was peep lawlessness.

01:11:06I didn't realize you kept a private paramilitary squad on retainer.

01:11:08I'm flattered.

01:11:09You think you can fight your way out of this?

01:11:11What can one man do against a hundred?

01:11:13This entire floor belongs to me.

01:11:15Today, not a single soul, not Howard, and certainly not a single Sterling, walks out of this building-

01:11:20Turn every single one of them into Swiss cheese!

01:11:21Since negotiation has failed, let's ensure this room stays between the silence.

01:11:32Freeze.

01:11:37Victor!

01:11:38What the hell am I looking at?

01:11:40Shut up.

01:11:48Hey, if these guys drop dead inside your office, is it going to cause a massive complication headache for your

01:11:53firm?

01:11:53Yes.

01:11:54Shredding them with high-caliber rounds on corporate property is going to be impossible to explain to the police.

01:11:59Got it.

01:11:59You mortals have way too many regulations.

01:12:02They're allowed to initiate a shootout, but my retaliation has to factor in your quarterly earnings report.

01:12:08Young master! Total catastrophe!

01:12:10The cross-family state!

01:12:11It was just completely leveled by a rain of bullets!

01:12:18What?

01:12:19What the hell are you?

01:12:20Me?

01:12:21Just your average, everyday demigod of thunder, banished from Mount Olympus to clear a heavy debt sheet.

01:12:31Oh, now you run?

01:12:33You were real brave when you were flipping the safety off!

01:12:39Stay back!

01:12:40You can't kill us!

01:12:41Murder is illegal!

01:12:44We are heirs to the cross-dynasty.

01:12:46If you lay a finger on us today, the entire institution will execute absolute retaliation!

01:12:51When you breached this floor with automatic weapons, I assumed your respect for statutory law was pretty minimal.

01:12:57Aren't you a demigod?

01:12:59Taking lives drops your cosmic karma!

01:13:01It'll totally screw up your access card back to Olympus, right?

01:13:03You actually make a valid point.

01:13:05I forgot about that metric.

01:13:06Burning karma points is an absolute pain to fix.

01:13:11What did you just implant in me?

01:13:14I don't do executions, but I possess an extensive catalog of ways to make you regret breathing while keeping you

01:13:20alive.

01:13:21What the hell is that?

01:13:22The thunder tickle curse.

01:13:24The target experiences a total nervous overload of phantom itching.

01:13:27It forces non-stop hysterical laughter until the body goes into complete muscular exhaustion.

01:13:31Don't worry, it's non-lethal.

01:13:32Just incredibly undignified.

01:13:34Your choice of methodology is aggressively sadistic.

01:13:38They were literally preparing to execute a firing squad on this room.

01:13:42I'm being incredibly gentle.

01:13:46Victor Cross, Taylor Cross, we have a warrant for your arrest.

01:13:48You're charged with unlawful possession of military-grade weapons, black market arms trafficking, and corporate extortion.

01:13:54Stand up and face the wall.

01:13:55Take me!

01:13:56Just lock me up!

01:13:57I want maximum security!

01:13:58Put me in a cell!

01:14:01I confess.

01:14:02I organized the entire tactical lake out.

01:14:04Just make this curse stop!

01:14:09Don't move.

01:14:10I almost left you off the audit report.

01:14:12No!

01:14:12I was coerced!

01:14:13They held a gun to my head!

01:14:14I didn't actually execute anything!

01:14:16You didn't look very capersed when you were dropping forged shareholder allocations on my desk to demand my resignation.

01:14:25Stop!

01:14:31And what did you lay on him?

01:14:32The hex of total misfortune.

01:14:34For the foreseeable future, he's gonna trip over flat surfaces, choke on tap water, and get absolutely guttered on every

01:14:39contract he signs.

01:14:40Custom tailored for a backstabbing relative.

01:14:43So, did you suddenly realize your contract husband offers a massive return on investment?

01:14:52Thank you both for stepping in.

01:14:54Without your leverage, Sterling Biotech wouldn't have stabilized this quickly.

01:14:58Don't thank me.

01:14:59We only threw our weight around for Adam.

01:15:01Adam saved my life.

01:15:03Backing the Sterling house is just clearing a bit of my debt to him.

01:15:06Adam, after today, the Cross family won't be dynamic enough to mount a pamp back anytime soon.

01:15:10The Sterling house finally has some breathing room.

01:15:13Good.

01:15:13Least I won't have a guy in a neon pink Secklin suit blocking my front door every day.

01:15:17Boss, I'll take off too.

01:15:18If you ever need muscle, you know how to reach me.

01:15:21Just stop taking brainless contracts from punks like Taylor.

01:15:23Consider it a rule.

01:15:26The way you two are looking at me is setting off alarms.

01:15:29Let's be clear.

01:15:30I have officially reached my overtime limit for the day.

01:15:34Back to the estate.

01:15:35We need to have a serious talk.

01:15:41So you're telling us you're not just some eccentric guy, but an actual demigod of thunder from Mount Olympus?

01:15:47You guys are interrogating me in perfect unison.

01:15:49Do I even have the option to deny it?

01:15:51A demigod?

01:15:52Rolling with you must pack a hell of a lot more voltage than a regular guy.

01:15:56Did you know this from the very beginning?

01:15:58I knew who had no clue your family's ancient contract would automatically manifest my name on it.

01:16:01Technically speaking, I'm a victim of circumstance here too.

01:16:03What is your objectual in the mortal realm?

01:16:04Kicked down by the elders, forced to settle a massive debt, and dissolve a trial to get assassinated by Hera's

01:16:08hit squads.

01:16:09Sounds like a cluster F, right? Trust me, I agree.

01:16:15Once you complete this trial, will you leave?

01:16:21Yeah, Adam.

01:16:26Then when exactly are you clocking out?

01:16:29Hard to tell. My divine signals are already locking back into place. Once the trial wraps, Olympus will automatically reel

01:16:35me back up.

01:16:36Absolutely not.

01:16:40Defiance won't change the metrics. I said absolutely not when they threw me off the mountain. You think Kaz listened?

01:16:43You are my contract husband. This covenant hasn't been dissolved yet, which you don't get to just pack up and

01:16:47walk away.

01:16:48Look, the cross dynasty is broken, and your corporate crisis is managed. You don't actually need me as a human

01:16:51shield anymore.

01:16:52Whoever said I was only using you as a shield?

01:16:55Selina, I have to chime in on this. You've monopolized Adam all this time, and the rest of us haven't

01:16:59even had a taste of what a god feels like yet.

01:17:01Suki, if he's gonna vanish, the least he can do is leave the rest of us with something to remember

01:17:04him by.

01:17:04You're being aggressively transparent right now.

01:17:06Oh please, like you aren't thinking the exact same thing?

01:17:09Selina, Adam literally saved my life. If he's really leaving, I don't want to regret keeping my mouth shut forever.

01:17:17Hold on a sec. Can the actual subject of this data sheet get a vote? I am not an Olympian

01:17:21souvenir.

01:17:23You're about to become one.

01:17:26I'm telling you, mortal marriage laws are complicated, and even a celestial entity shouldn't violate the protocol.

01:17:34I'm taking the first shift today. Based on what logic?

01:17:36You've already consumed the maximum allocation of his time during this entire deployment.

01:17:39Can you two stop talking about him like he's a shift schedule on a spreadsheet?

01:17:41Fine, wanna map it out? Monday through Thursday, one day per person, and we take Fridays off?

01:17:44Hey, I am standing right here. Mapping out a rotation right in front of my face is wildly disrespectful.

01:17:48Shut up!

01:17:50Oh great. The nightmare is manifesting. The sirens were just bad marketing.

01:17:55But these women are running a hostile board peeding to divide my assets.

01:18:01Trying to execute an escape plan?

01:18:03Adam, don't go.

01:18:04I highly advise against resisting Selina's temper threshold today.

01:18:07Are you gonna walk over here willingly, or do I need to authorize a total lockdown on the doors?

01:18:10Do I have the option to call 911?

01:18:11You literally just announced you're a demigod. The police department doesn't domesticate celestial disputes.

01:18:23This is a coordinated ambush? Is this even constitutional in the mortal realm?

01:18:28The contract makes it constitutional.

01:18:33Cassian! I will literally accept a forced reconcock to you Olympus right now!

01:18:45This isn't mortal affection. This is a localized circle of hell.

01:18:50My spine...

01:18:53Damn it. The signals...

01:18:56...are fully integrated.

01:19:09This is a freshly brewed venison broth and herbal energy tonic.

01:19:14Consume it immediately to rebuild your baseline stamina.

01:19:17I've curated an extensive menu of performance oncing options here.

01:19:21We can trial them one by one later.

01:19:23You're going to love it.

01:19:24I reviewed the nutritional data sheets.

01:19:26Every high-yield recovery supplement available is right here.

01:19:29I assisted with the culinary prep too.

01:19:36I appreciate the logistics ladies, but seriously, stand down.

01:19:40Are you executing another evasion tactic?

01:19:41I am not evading.

01:19:42My divine matrix is fully realigned, which means Olympus is going to trigger my recall protocol imitantly.

01:19:49I have to return.

01:19:50I need to undergo the final initialization of the Thunder Trials.

01:20:00Tell me this is just a bad joke.

01:20:03If you want a jump contract, just state it.

01:20:07You don't need to invent Mount Olympus as an alibi.

01:20:11I wish it were an alibi.

01:20:14But celestial signals don't falsify data.

01:20:17Why is the timeline suddenly this aggressive?

01:20:20I didn't expect it either.

01:20:23Apparently, last night...

01:20:29The extreme emotional spike forced a major escalation in the Trials' metrics.

01:20:34Then what is your remaining window of deployment?

01:20:38A couple of days, max.

01:20:41I need to locate an isolated grid to channel the lightning descent,

01:20:45or this entire estate will be reduced to a blast radius.

01:20:48But before my extraction protocol initiates, I have one remaining objective.

01:20:54Your winter blood condition.

01:20:56I'm purging it from your system permanently.

01:20:59Right now?

01:21:01Right now.

01:21:07Brace yourself.

01:21:09The cold core...

01:21:12is anchored deep inside the bone marrow.

01:21:15If we don't extract it fully,

01:21:17it'll just regenerate later.

01:21:22It's too deep.

01:21:24Final needle.

01:21:25Don't move.

01:21:31One final step to execute.

01:21:41Your cold anomaly is anchored too deep.

01:21:44Standard procedures can only suppress the symptoms, not eliminate the source.

01:21:49My remaining timeline doesn't allow for a gradual treatment,

01:21:52so I have to use the most volatile method available.

01:21:57You're bleeding!

01:21:59Open your mouth.

01:22:05It's so warm.

01:22:06Thank you, Adam.

01:22:09Get some sleep.

01:22:11Once your consciousness restores, you'll never have to worry about the winter blood flare-ups again.

01:22:22What's the status?

01:22:25Relax, the cold source has been completely purged from her system. She just needs some downtime.

01:22:31What about your hand?

01:22:33A minor scratch.

01:22:34A little divine blood loss won't compromise my operational capacity.

01:22:38You're literally on the verge of extraction, and you still went to this length for her.

01:22:43I close out my debts whenever possible.

01:22:46I don't want any unresolved karma messing with my head the next time Olympus starts throwing lightning.

01:22:54So...

01:22:55You are absolutely executing your exit protocol.

01:22:58Yeah. Now that Ivy's data is cleared, it's time for me to prep for departure.

01:23:05You don't need to look at me like that. Every deployment comes to an end.

01:23:08If our trajectories align again, we'll cross paths in the future.

01:23:11Easy for you to say.

01:23:14I refuse to let you vanish without a proper send-off protocol.

01:23:18We never finalized the official paperwork.

01:23:21I feel like I've mismanaged your time here.

01:23:23And I don't want our entire history to just be about you saving my life.

01:23:29Hold on. Don't tell me you're attempting to hold another board meeting to allocate my remaining hours.

01:23:34Nothing that complex. Since your extraction is imminent, the least you can do is sit for a wedding photoshoot to

01:23:40leave us with a visual record.

01:23:44A wedding shoot? Four brides at once? Is that even compliant with mortal family statutes?

01:23:49Taking a photograph violates zero local ordinances.

01:23:53You literally froze a ballistic trajectory in mid-air.

01:23:57Don't tell me you're intimidated by a camera lens.

01:24:00The camera isn't the threat.

01:24:01The four of you surrounding me in bridal gowns is what's terrifying.

01:24:06Cut the talk. Move to the wardrobe room and change.

01:24:17Everyone set, look right at the lens and give me a smile.

01:24:45Manage yourself well. Sterling Biotech relies entirely on your leadership now.

01:24:49If any hazards emerge, leverage Roland and Howard. They won't leave you. I've negotiated that for you.

01:24:53Will you ever route your way back to me?

01:24:55I absolutely despise making commitments.

01:24:57But then again, I despise leaving a debt sheet unbalanced even more.

01:25:00Stay safe, all of you. Stop downing weird performance enhancing drinks and definitely stop launching coordinated ambushes on higher entrances.

01:25:08Then when you return, can we authorize one more ambush?

01:25:11You really refuse to give me a clean exit protocol, don't you?

01:25:16Safe travels.

01:25:20Adam! I'll be waiting for your return!

01:25:23I'll be waiting too!

01:25:23Don't be long!

01:25:24Stick to your word.

01:25:34How is this statistically possible?

01:25:37Are you two experiencing symptoms too?

01:25:40Get the medical team on the line.

01:25:43No!
