***** "What's going on?" Dave wondered, utterly bewildered. He stared in astonishment, unsure of whether he was dreaming or really in his right mind as he watched the dignified Master Robert behave like an excited child in front of the lowlife entity, he was supposed to help his son deal with. Dave wasn’t the only one dumbfounded at this moment, Sarah, Michael, and the crowd were all as well, including Dawn who hadn’t wanted to implicate Ares with her own issue. They couldn’t react for a long time until Robert returned to his senses. "I..." He quickly smiled sheepishly, feeling both embarrassed and apologetic as he realized he had once again addressed Ares in a manner Ares preferred not to be addressed in public. "Grand... I..." He wanted to apologize, but Ares, already looking resigned, simply shook his head, showing that he wasn’t mad before changing the topic. “Would you rather a young and innocent child like this be bullied without getting the revenge she deserves?” He inqu

***** The crowd hissed deeply with shock. They were incredibly astounded and did not know what to think, most especially Dawn who just thought she had been killed. She stared dumbly at Ares, unable to return to her senses even after a long time had passed. The same was true for Dave. Although he was going through an immeasurable pain, the sort he had never experienced before in his life, he couldn’t react for a long time. He was completely flabbergasted about what had just occurred. …. “You… you can’t arrest my father. Have you forgotten his identity? Would you rather destroy all the bridge with him?” Watching as his father was roughly apprehended by the cops who were called by Robert. Michael finally returned to his senses and cried out. Robert’s eyes, still flashing with rage immediately went to him, causing him to swallow hard while his back went cold. “Which identity and what bridge?” The old man coldly inquires before suddenly, his eyes squinted. “I remember you now,” he

*****Deep within the villa chosen by Michael, in a beautiful serene garden within the Ton family estate, an elderly man with long grey hair, clad in immaculate white garments could be seen seated cross-legged on a mat, appearing to be in a meditative cultivation stance.In today’s world, only a handful of people would still remember this old man.If these handful of people were to suddenly see him now, however, they would undoubtedly be shocked and terrified to the core, for he was once a figure who had shaken the entire Rex City with his remarkable abilities.Perhaps, had this elderly man not suddenly gone into seclusion and disappeared from the public’s eyes, he might have remained the most formidable force in the entire city. However, his unexplained disappearance had led everyone to assume he was dead and this had remained so for years already.At this moment, the elderly man's eyes were tightly shut and he was completely immersed in his meditation, utterly oblivious to ever

***** “You… you said what?” Olive could not believe the news he just heard. He was utterly stunned for a moment, the previous joy from Olivia's call vanishing as his eyes reddened and his voice grew hoarse as if something was lodged in his throat. "You... you mean you're already back in Rex City?" he asked. Upon hearing the hoarse voice, Olivia assumed that Olive was simply upset because she had traveled back without informing him. She felt incredibly apologetic, but before she could apologize more, however, the call had been disconnected on her. Olivia stopped in her tracks blankly for a second, but then she smiled wryly. “He is really furious at me this time,” she sighed, looking lost for a while before eventually shaking her head. "He has every right to be furious," she muttered, considering how challenging it must have been for Olive to secure investors for her company, arrange a meeting between them, and also book a hotel room despite the lack of availability. "I'll make i

*****Robert had woken up since midnight that day due to urgent business matters arising which he had to attend, even almost offending his grandmaster, Ares in the process of completing the issues.After dealing with all the issues and ensuring that Dave, Michael’s father, received his deserved punishment, an arduous process he went through all through alone. It felt like an eternity before he finally had the opportunity to return home, where he planned to catch up on his lost sleep.Unfortunately, however, he had even barely managed to lay his exhausted body on the bed when a loud sound echoed beside him, startling him badly to sit up and instantly causing his head to throb hysterically.Robert's eyes snapped open and darted toward the ringing cell phone, turning crimson red in an instant and transforming into a glare.“Which bastard was that?!” He roared with rage, frustration, and helplessness."I thought I had already turned off this damn cell phone. How did I miss that?" he
