Regan stepped back and let Russell take the stage to speak to everyone.“I never thought I’d be on a stage like this, not even in my dreams,” Russell said. “I didn’t prepare any speech, so please bear with me.“When I was in college, I believed that the corporate world is run by crazy people because the HR guys that interviewed me in college were all not just eccentric but unnerving. More mechanical and less flexible. They acted like they weren’t humans. I thought if these guys are like this, then how would their bosses be? Wouldn’t they be more unnerving?“I was not a bright student, but I was not really a poor student, either. I made it to the final stages of fourteen companies, and I’ve failed in all those. I didn’t tell this to anyone in my family, either, because I probably wouldn’t have joined those companies even if I had gotten a job. I was just testing my own worth by trying those placement interviews. And I think I didn’t completely lose my confidence despite not getting a j

After Russell and Jessica left the rooftop, Arnold and Jennifer’s shoulders loosened.Jennifer angrily looked at Arnold and hissed, “Did you really marry that woman without knowing anything about her past?”“I knew she came from another country, but…” Arnold didn’t know what to say. “She never spoke about her past. I didn’t press her about it, so I didn’t know anything about what happened in her life before I met her.”“Ugh…” Jennifer felt like punching him in the gut. “You made me and my mom look like a fool.”“H-How is it my fault?” Arnold asked.“It is your fault,” she retorted. “If you hadn’t wasted your seed on that woman, he wouldn’t have been born!”Arnold frowned. He could understand that Jennifer was feeling angry because her mother was feeling embarrassed now. But why wasn’t she able to understand things from his perspective as well? In the past, Arnold was always able to command Jennifer, but after the mother and daughter reunited, Jennifer was not listening to him anymore.

Russell used the sky-bridge to leave the Creed Zone with no problem.“Where are we going?” Jessica asked.“I thought we were just going for a test drive,” Russell replied.“A-Ah, right.” Jessica hid her disappointment behind her smile. She was thinking that he was going to take her somewhere special because he asked her to come along.Like he said, he was driving aimlessly, which made her wonder if he really wished only to have a test drive.“Did you eat?” he asked.“No. I had no time for that,” she said. “Shall we stop by a restaurant?”“Yeah. Let’s do that,” Russell drove to a place named Ritchie’s Red, which was a restaurant known for its spiciness. The nameboard of the restaurant was decorated with roses.“T-This place is…” Jessica’s heart beat a little faster because she knew about this place being a well-known spot among lovers.She wanted to work here in the past as they paid 20 dollars per hour in the past itself, but because it was so far from her house, she couldn’t do so.S

“I don’t want to beat you in front of your niece,” Russell said, loosening his tie.“Worry about yourself,” John brought out the big ol’ slap at Russell. It was as fast as the wind.Russell ducked fast.John closed his fist midway and grabbed Russell’s hair and bent his head to the side and went for a slap with the other hand.Russell blocked his attack with his forearm and swiftly jabbed at John’s face. John dodged the attack and went for a headbutt.Both their heads clashed hard, and Russell crashed back on the floor. His head hurt like hell, but he took the support of his hands to spring up and thrust his feet into John’s face and landed a perfect attack that made John crash back into the chairs and the table nearby.“Boss!” the underlings were coming toward him fast.Just then, the main door of the restaurant burst open, and dozens of men in gray uniforms and hats entered the restaurant, with Gage leading them in the front.All of them surrounded John and his underlings.“Don Jo

Russell and Jessica returned to Creed Zone, and their car received a lot of attraction. Even though they arrived on the 50th floor of the headquarters, there was a lot of traffic there, including lots of reporters who were flashing cameras even before Russell got out.And once he stepped out, his eyes slowly but surely widened because of the number of cameras flashing at him while the guards were keeping the reporters away. “Mr. Russell, is it true that your grandfather gifted Boyen Redemption to you?”“Tell us where you went!”“What’s with the kerchief around your head?”“Are you going to play Dream Creed as well?”“Tell us about you and your mother, Mr. Russell!”As the reporters flooded him with questions, he had to make his way inside the building. It took some effort to achieve that.Both Russell and Jessica then looked at each other. He smiled, and she smiled back even though she didn’t know why he was smiling.Meanwhile, Regan was in his office, also smiling as he was looking
