Bending to authority, the reluctant guards charged forward, only to be floored within minutes, unable to even crawl up.Of course, Justin didn't injure them severely, just used a special technique to seal several pressure points and immobilize them.Seeing this young man so casually trounce his men, Jayden Dunn's eyeballs nearly popped out in fright. Behind him, Preston reacted similarly, both clinging to each other with faces pale as corpses."What do you think? Not bad skills for little ol' me right? You lot are just too weak, not even worth my time. Anymore? Send me a truckload, I won't rest today till I've whipped you all into shape. Then you'll know Justin's prowess."Hearing this, the two looked bitterly resigned. Where could they find a truckload of men now? They were both abandoned, with no one to help them.Suddenly remembering his background, Preston yelled, "You can't touch me! I'm one of Viper's men. Let me tell you, I just called Viper and he's on his way. You'll be sorry

"Ah yes, someone did summon me for help...Preston! Where do you think you're slithering off to?""Viper! I'm right here, not going anywhere. You misunderstand, I made no attempt to flee." "Misunderstanding, is it? You claimed someone threatened and tried to steal your wife. Explain yourself clearly. I will see justice done since I'm here."Preston crumpled to his knees in fright. "I lied, brother! My wife is safe at home. No one took her. And I was just rambling nonsense about being beaten in public - who would dare with all these witnesses? I must have been drunk and confused when I called you. Please forgive my idiocy, it won't happen again!""Still muddled, are you? Shall I help clear your head?"Cold sweat drenched Preston's back at the ominous words. "No, no!" he shrieked, but Viper ignored his pleas. Snatching a wine bottle from the table, he smashed it over Preston's head.Blood and wine gushed from the gaping wound. Preston collapsed, unconscious. Viper hauled him up, cursing

"Ha, my friend, you better splash some water on your face and snap out of it. Take a look around. Stones here cost millions a piece. This game is only for the real rich folks. The likes of us can only watch and envy."The outbursts caught Justin's attention. He approached the vocal pair and asked what had happened. Sizing Justin up in his expensive outfit, they assumed he was a successful entrepreneur, or at least a rich heir.With a smile, one explained: "Young man, you probably don't know this, but the uncut stones here are hand-picked by the manor owner himself. Every piece produces jadeite, but they are extraordinarily expensive - ten times the price elsewhere, or even higher. Us regular folks can only look, not buy. Don't try your luck, just look around for fun."Despite the warning, Justin grew interested. Stones of such exorbitant cost, where each one guaranteed jadeite... the selection process must be rigorous.Heh heh, might as well try his luck and see if he could uncover th

"Don't worry, boss. Stephen's clever—even if something came up, he'd find a way back safe and sound. Just be patient.""How can I be patient? We're already half an hour behind schedule. The police will be mobilizing as we speak. If we don't leave soon, escape will be difficult."As they spoke, Justin and the police had surrounded the warehouse, quickly cutting off any exit.Sensing the precariousness of their situation, the mercenaries brandished their weapons, ready to fight to the death. After all, they were hardened killers who thought nothing of human life. No amount of negotiation would make them surrender their prize.Left with no other option, the police prepared to use force. But before they could act, Justin stepped forward and said to Captain Sean with a smile:"Captain, why don't I go in and talk to them? I'm not with the police, so they won't see me as a threat. And I'm just one unarmed young man—I think I have a better chance of success.""Absolutely not, Mr. Wilson! With

Captain Sean and his men gawked at the scene, stunned. What just happened? These were ruthless mercenaries, not easy to subdue. Yet the legendary Mr. Wilson took them all down without a scratch. Now that was real strength!The mercs were hauled off to the police station while Justin accompanied Jade Stone King back to the Manor of Wealth.As for the merc sent to ready their helicopter, he arrived at the landing site only to find hundreds of Viper's men lying in wait. Terrified, he turned and fled. Against those odds, he was smart enough not to stick around. If an ordinary man didn't die of fright, he'd be driven insane.When they parted ways, Captain Sean said he would submit a report about the incident to his superiors, recommending Justin for a commendation. Justin didn't refuse—he cared more about fame than petty rewards. His popularity quest was ongoing, so the more people who knew his name and admired him, the more points he earned. This was free publicity; why reject it?Now Ju
