"You are totally a coward, not a gentleman!" Nicholas yelled, his voice echoing through the restaurant."What kind of gentleman brings twenty people to bother a couple on a date?" Alex scoffed. “You brought twenty people here. I just have two helpers on my hand. I call this fair."Nicholas's face turned red with anger, his fists clenching at his sides.The twenty men around him shifted uneasily, sensing the brewing conflict. They surely couldn’t face a man with guns."Or if you really want fairness," Alex smiled, a cold, dangerous glint in his eyes, "how about we fight one on one? I'll keep my two helpers."Nicholas knew very well he was just a young, rich man who spent more time with women and at bars than Alex, who had wasted his time on military training.Alex was an ex-soldier, trained to fight. Nicholas knew he would never win that fight. So he turned his anger to Crystal."You bitch, how dare you go on a date with another man!" Nicholas spat, his voice trembling with rage.Alex

“Stop all of this nonsense,” Kane could no longer hold back his pain. “Just tell me what I need to do so you will help me.”Alex sighed, his patience wearing thin. “I don’t need your wealth. I just need the respect you would give to someone who can help you.”“But from the start, you never showed me any respect. Even your assistant mocked me. Do you think I’m being unreasonable?”Kane Wood realized that from their first meeting, he had been looking down on this young man. He even thought the young man might have somehow poisoned him and was now trying to sell him the antidote.“I want to tell you that the martial art you are learning is not complete. Out of 108 acupuncture points needed to deliver your inner energy, you have only been focusing on 105 for a long time, causing an incomplete inner cycle.”“How... how do you know it's 105?” Kane Wood was shocked.“As the inner energy accumulated at the 105 points without proper circulation back, the number 105 acupuncture points grew unst

Nicholas frowned, his brow furrowing. “And why is that?”The waiter looked apologetic but firm. “We require a reservation for parties of more than two. May I check your reservation?”Rosemary stepped forward, her eyes narrowing. “We don’t have any reservation.”“Then I am really sorry, I cannot allow you to enter the restaurant. Please make a reservation first.”“There are still a lot of empty chairs there. Why not just accept us?” Jasmine protested with displeasure, her voice rising. “We are just going to eat and go away.”“I am sorry, ma’am,” the waiter explained, bowing respectfully.“It’s not about the chairs. The food we serve is organic and grown by us, which means it’s limited. That’s why we usually require reservations. Additionally, you need to be a member to make a reservation.”Nicholas Gray rarely went to restaurants with family-style dining or romantic kind of dining.He mostly frequented establishments known for their nightlife. “Alright, let’s just make me a member. The

Alex received a call asking him to return to the restaurant, but what he saw was not something he liked.He was a prince, and using his power to bully the innocent was the last thing he wanted. Although the people here were not completely innocent, they were just fools."I never told you to do something like this to them," Alex glanced at the manager, his eyes full of frustration."Yes, but it was the last request from Mr. Kane Wood," the manager explained. "He said no one could look down on Mr. Alex our new boss."Alex noticed Kane looking from his private room, clearly having no good intentions in making the Gracy family and White family hate him.When Alex glanced back at the four of them kneeling, they looked at Alex with disbelief."What? He's the owner?" Nicholas Gray couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Are you fucking kidding me?"Rosemary was also shocked. "How could this loser become the hotel owner?""What general backing!" Jasmine yelled arrogantly. "If your owner had

As Alex walked down from the hotel to the entrance, there were about twenty private special forces, appearing like high-rank mercenaries with complete bulletproof bodies and weapons.The leader, named Joe, had a scar over his eye and an aura of danger around him. “Miss Ava, we will guard you and Mr. Alex to the location. Please feel at ease; we will hunt whoever dares to kidnap Miss Eva.”Alex’s eyebrow raised, “Do I need to be guarded too?”Ava stared deeply at Alex, “You are important to me; of course, you need protection.”He couldn’t say anything against the care that Ava gave, so he sat beside Ava in the car, and they went to the address, which was outside the city, near the jungle.“No need to worry,” Ava said to comfort Alex, as his face was serious and sharp, looking around, ready for any action.“They are the special forces of Sharp Company. They are stronger than many fighters, especially Joe, the leader. He has a lot of experience in war as a mercenary before we made him th
