............Four cars came to a stop when they saw Rohan step out of his car. They all looked in his direction."Hey, Brother Kong, are you really sure this guy is a loser with no background?" asked the muscular man in the front car. He wore a dark tank top and turned to the person sitting in the back."Yeah, I'm sure, unless the info we got is messed up. Why, getting scared just because the guy looks a bit different?" replied the man in the back, his grin mocking."Of course not, I just wanted to be sure!" the muscular man answered with a grin, getting out of the car.He opened the door and helped Brother Kong step out of the car in a stylish manner.More people got out of the cars, and Rohan counted a total of eight of them. He could tell they were troublemakers based on their flashy outfits and strange styles.As Brother Kong approached Rohan, the others followed, forming a group a few steps away from Rohan."You must be Rohan Johnson, right?" Brother Kong asked, trying to seem

............"We apologize and beg for your forgiveness. We were blind not to see your greatness!" Brother Kong and his lackeys immediately dropped to their knees, realizing they couldn't defeat Rohan in a fight."Huh, weren't you just boasting about beating me?" Rohan looked at them, speechless, not expecting them to be this shameless."Hahaha! You must have misunderstood. How could we ever hope to match you when we're not even close to being worthy of tying your shoes?" Brother Kong awkwardly laughed, changing his words from earlier with seamless ease.'Wow, what an award-winning performance,' Rohan thought to himself, observing the once arrogant man acting like a bootlicker."Now, then, I still haven't heard who sent you guys after me!" Rohan asked again, his tone cold and clear, causing Brother Kong and the others to unconsciously break into a sweat."Actually, we don't know either!" Brother Kong replied nervously and awkwardly."What... are you playing with me?" Rohan's anger fl

............"Absolutely, they certainly are. Take a look at the stage decor; I wouldn't be surprised if it costed millions upon millions!" Rohan said, motioning for Riya to join him in looking at the stage, where the upcoming performance would soon unfold."I can't even imagine, it's absolutely incredible!" Riya exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the exquisitely designed stage."By the way, do you have any idea who's performing today?" Rohan inquired, clearly in the dark."Hmm, I did see a poster outside mentioning a Pioni artist for today's performance," Riya responded, her expression pensive as she tried to recollect the details.Suddenly, a round of applause erupted, drawing Rohan's attention. Riya followed his gaze and saw the artist walking onto the stage.Riya's face lit up as she spotted the pianist, Leo Davenport, stepping onto the stage. His tall, slender figure moved with a graceful confidence as he settled onto the piano bench. His sandy blond hair fell gently over his forehe

............After leading the middleman outside, they swiftly made him unconscious and covered his eyes, securing his hands behind his back.Once Mikhail Kong placed him in the car trunk, they departed from the scene."Where should we take him?" Diego Rodriguez inquired, uncertain about the appropriate location to hold the middleman in their custody."Let's head to that old building on the outskirts of the city," Mikhail Kong suggested.They transported him to the outskirts, where a rundown and abandoned building was situated."Place him in the chair and make sure he's securely tied up," Mikhail Kong instructed, and Igor Ocampo successfully positioned him on the half-broken chair.After guiding Igor Ocampo on what needed to be done, he took out his phone, thankfully containing Rohan's contact number."Hello, Mr. Johnson. I apologize for bothering you, but I wanted to inform you that we've successfully captured the Middleman on your behalf. We're waiting for you on the outskirts of t

............"What's the deal, Kong? And just so you know, after today, you're getting kicked out from the underground scene in Willowbrook City!" Middleman tried to sound tough, but fear tinged his voice as he stared at Mikhail Kong, his threat falling flat."Hahaha...! Instead of bothering about us, maybe you should worry about your own situation. If you don't spill what we need to know, you won't be leaving here in one piece!" Igor Ocampo chuckled at Middleman's feeble attempt at intimidation, reminding him of the consequences he might face if he tried threatening them again."What... What do you mean?" Middleman's voice quivered a bit upon hearing Igor's tone."Let's cut the crap. Tell us straight up, who ordered you to target Mr. Johnson?" Kong's icy gaze locked onto Middleman as he questioned."Now I get why you're playing this game. You struck a deal with that guy, didn't you?" Middleman's arrogance resurfaced as if he had figured out the motives behind Kong and his crew captu
