Anna sighed, her confidence wavering. "I know. But I still have to trust in my grandfather's disciples."Gabriel nodded. "Just remember, I'm here if you need me."Anna gave him a weak smile. "Thanks, Gabriel. We will see how this plays out."As the crowd buzzed with excitement and anticipation for the next round, the gravity of the situation settled heavily on the Springfield family. They knew the next moves would be critical, and they needed to step up their game to stand a chance against Sung Do's formidable prowess.Master Chen then called out his second disciple, Michael. A proud smile showed on Anna's face, which Gabriel noticed. She leaned in to give him a brief introduction."Michael's been training with my grandfather since he was a child. He's incredibly fast and his techniques are almost flawless," Anna said, her voice filled with confidence.When Michael stepped up, Addison couldn't resist teasing his stature. "Is this the best you've got, Master Chen? He doesn't look like

As Gabriel prepared to face Sung Do, Anna stood by, her anxiety evident but mixed with newfound hope. The tension in the room was palpable as everyone awaited the outcome of this decisive battle.Anna then went closer to Gabriel and reluctantly whispered, "Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?"He chuckled. "Why are you fretting so much?""I just... I don’t want you to get hurt," she admitted, her concern and lingering doubt clear."Don’t worry," he assured her. "I will be fine."Gabriel turned to Mr. Mac and Master Chen, noticing the worry on their faces.Anna began giving him tips on how to weaken Sung Do. "Aim for his legs. He’s fast, but if you can—""That won't be necessary," Gabriel interrupted, smiling. "I can defeat Sung Do with just one punch."She eyed him skeptically. "You’re joking, right?""I’m serious," he repeated, making her huff in disbelief.Master Chen and Mr. Mac exchanged uneasy glances. "He's being arrogant," Master Chen muttered. "I thought he might have a

Anna overheard them and felt a surge of pride. She turned to Gabriel, "Looks like you've got quite a few admirers now."Gabriel chuckled, "I suppose so. But right now, I'm just happy I could help your family."As the crowd slowly headed for their seats, whispers of Gabriel's prowess filled the room. He had not only restored the honor of Master Chen's household but had also won the admiration and respect of everyone present. Anna felt a deep sense of gratitude and newfound respect for Gabriel, knowing that his intervention had changed everything.Master Duon, crafty as ever, began appraising Gabriel. "Your fighting skill is truly impressive. Quite different from what your appearance suggests."Gabriel responded coolly, "I don't talk much like some big mouths." He glanced pointedly at Addison, who glared back at him.Anna jumped in, her tone supportive but cutting, "Yes, Gabriel lets his actions speak for him. Unlike others who rely on empty boasts."Master Chen, sensing the moment, tu

Anna shyly sat beside Gabriel, unable to refrain from admiring him up close. His chiseled jawline, sharp cheekbones, and piercing eyes made him undeniably handsome. A strand of hair had fallen over his forehead, giving him a rugged yet charming look. Despite his striking features, his attention seemed focused on his phone.Gathering some courage, she reached out to move the strand of hair from his face. As her fingers neared, Gabriel glanced up, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "Fed up with staring at me already?" he teased, his tone light.Anna’s cheeks flushed a deep crimson. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—"He chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "No need to apologize. It’s just hair. But thank you."She was struck by how humble and down-to-earth he was, despite his impressive skills and appearance. "You’re quite different from what I expected," she admitted.Gabriel leaned back, putting his phone away. "How so?""You’re just... simple. Humble. I mean, considering

Walking into the room, Camella took off her shoes and heard her phone beep. Thinking it was a message from work about a new issue, she mumbled, "What now?" But when she took out her phone and checked, her jaw dropped. She counted the figures in her account balance and almost screamed. "Nine... ninety million?"She quickly came downstairs, her expression a mix of shock and confusion. "Gabriel, what’s going on? Where did this money come from?"Gabriel was about to explain, but she cut him off frantically. "Did you borrow money from some loan sharks just to appease me?""No, Camella, it’s not like that," Gabriel tried to say."Then why do you keep doing these unexpected things?" she yelled, frustration and fear in her voice.Gabriel stepped closer, gently holding her arms. "I did nothing wrong," he said firmly.Camella, trying to calm down, asked, "Then how did you get the 90 million back when you lost it at the gambling?"Gabriel took a deep breath. "I intentionally lost the money to m
