***** "Young master, should we leave now that no one's paying attention to us?" Alle, the only one brave enough to speak with Ares without fearing Michael and his father asked cautiously after a moment, giving Ares a pleading look. As soon as Ares heard her, he smiled slightly, not offended per se. “Do you also think I can’t handle the situation?” He inquired with a hint of playfulness, scaring Alle badly as she thought he had misunderstood her. "Of course not," she replied firmly, shaking her head rapidly. Thinking Ares wouldn't believe her, she quickly added, "I'm more than one hundred percent certain that dealing with those two is as easy as crushing chicken bones for you, so, why would I think you wouldn't be able to handle the situation?” ‘Crushing chicken bones?’ Ares immediately went stunned upon hearing Alle. He couldn't help but stare speechless at her for a moment and he almost wanted to laugh, but seeing Alle’s serious expression, he forced himself to s
*****Dawn City has emerged as one of the top commercial hubs in Rex City, achieving remarkable popularity in recent years by attracting millions of new customers annually.As a result, Dawn City became highly sought after, with numerous business moguls in Rex City and beyond wanting a stake in it. However, since it was his sole project, which no one supported or invested in at the beginning, thinking it would flop, Dawn's father declined every offer, including Dave's.Dave was Dawn's father's best childhood friend. However, he had deliberately avoided supporting his friend during the challenging early days of establishing Dawn City.Like everybody, he also assumed that the project was going to be a total failure, given its location and what it was intended for.In recent years, however, Dave realized that his usually sound judgment had been a significant mistake this time around. With that knowledge and due to him wanting a share in the hot cake, he had done everything he could
***** "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
***** Although the outside space in front of the beautiful complex was crowded at this moment, it was eerily silent as everyone focused intently in one direction.Even though they couldn't see what was being played, the sound was clear enough for everyone to hear everything distinctly, enabling them to imagine the scene within very well.It wasn't a long video, just a short two minutes, which ended quickly. The next second, everybody sent hateful and disbelief glares toward Dave. “Ahh!!! What a beast!” One of those who had initially been scared of speaking couldn’t help but suddenly exclaim. "He actually poisoned his best friend to steal his property!" “What a scum of the society?! Heartlessly killing his best friend after making him sign his property to him! People really shouldn’t be trusted!” “How could someone be like this? Even flaunting without any remorse after poisoning his so-called best friend to death!” In the blink of an eye, Dave became the number one most hated en
***** 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
*****“Have you guys heard the news?”Back in the dark and creepy conference room within Mason’s apartment, the masked leader whom no one knows what he looks like suddenly spoke with a heavy voice.Since only Mason had his contact details and his real-life identity was unknown to everybody, this was the only location where they could meet and communicate with him.Additionally, he had already instructed everyone to reconvene a few hours after the previous meeting had ended.Within the conference room that was filled with a tense and heavy atmosphere, everybody looked crest-fallen at this moment and they appeared as though they were on the losing side of a war, Mason included.The leader, emitting an icy-cold aura glanced at everyone around him, but no one dared to look at him.Realizing this, the leader continued speaking in his bone-chilling and creepy cold voice after a moment of nervous and panic-inducing silence."Of the three men we sent, all their subordinates alongside
*****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
*****“She must have gone with that bastard, right?” Ares suddenly mumbled to himself with a complicated countenance as soon as he arrived in front of the villa.He gazed at the building in silence for a moment before eventually sighing in resignation. "Given how things have ended up turning out, I have no other choice now but to show my true self and prove I'm not useless. But if she insists on leaving me then, I'll just sign the divorce papers and move on. It's that simple," he muttered to himself once more before finally getting out of the car.Ares leisurely walked toward the villa after making up his mind, but just as he stepped on the walkway, however, a slight frown appeared on his face.“What are those?” He squinted his eyes and looked around the ground. The next moment, Ares’s face changed greatly and a look of dumbfounded appeared.“What are my clothes doing out on the ground?” His mouth opened with disbelief.That's correct. At the moment, outside the villa, all of Ar
