It didn't take long for Jack to understand what Jeremy was saying. "Mr. Calder, it seems there's a bit of a misunderstanding here!"It wasn't that Jack didn't want to bring a woman as beautiful as Rebecca home. However, he didn't want the Calder family to think he had done something he hadn't."I didn't bring Rebecca home with me! She did drop me off at the restaurant, but after that..."Jack stopped speaking when he saw Jeremy's sudden change in expression."Are you saying you haven't been with Rebecca since last night?"Jack shook his head. "She left after dropping me off!""That's impossible!" Jeremy's face tightened even more."Mr. Calder, tell me, what's really going on?""She hasn't come home since she went out with you last night. Lenora has been trying to call her numerous times, but it always goes straight to voicemail! Rebecca has never done that before! Unless her phone is dead, she would never turn it off!"What?Jack knew something had definitely happened.And his suspici
A few minutes earlier.In a room with walls entirely made of wood, a girl lay on a large bed with both her hands and feet tied up.Not long after, the door opened and a man in his thirties entered the room."Tsk tsk tsk! I don't know how to praise your beauty, Rebecca!" The man could hardly turn away his gaze as it fell upon the girl, who turned out to be Rebecca."Truly an indescribable beauty!" The man smirked as he stepped closer to the bed without closing the door."If it weren't for my cousin, I would have made you mine long ago!" He continued to gaze at Rebecca's body without turning away for a moment.Especially since Rebecca's shirt was partially unbuttoned, enticing him to linger and admire the hint of her cleavage, covered by a black bra. Moreover, the short skirt she wore barely reached her knees, revealing her smooth and fair thighs."Absolutely flawless!" the man murmured, as if lost in the pleasure he derived from feasting his eyes on her. "Your skin as white as snow and
The Wigram family rules the political scene of Rivertown. Irvin Wigram, the head of the family, is the mayor, while Gerhard Wigram, his eldest son, is the head of the Emerald Terrace district. Although financially their wealth assets are not larger than the Calder family's, they hold a very strong influence in Rivertown, which can be considered unshakeable. Furthermore, Irvin also controls the underworld. He has relations with the mafia from where he gets a lot of his money. Gerhard has long been fond of Rebecca and has attempted to propose to her several times, but she never accepted his proposal. Not because she didn't want to, but Rebecca knows exactly who Gerhard is. Despite his official position as a district leader, he has many illicit businesses managed under his name. Illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, human trafficking are some that can be mentioned. Irvin and Gerhard always manage to evade scrutiny. Every time there is an investigation from the capital's police force,
As Jack suspected, the arrival of this mysterious man must be related to Rebecca. "In that case, you'll have to step over my dead body first!" He said. The mysterious man looked at Jack cynically, almost laughing at him. "I've never met a young man with such low abilities but so bold to speak insolently to me like you! You dare tell me to step over your dead body first? Of course, I will!" The mysterious man then pushed the car with one hand. The movement seemed easy, as if he was pushing a light object. However, the car was pushed very hard to the side and almost fell into the deep river beside the road. Thump! The car crashed into the guardrail, teetering on the edge. "You scoundrel!" Jack didn't expect the mysterious man to go that far. Nevertheless, he didn't have much time to think because he had to rescue Rebecca immediately. Jack swiftly moved to the other door and held the car to assist Rebecca in getting out. "Are you alright?" Jack asked, checking on Rebecca's condit
Kaiden approached Jack's helpless body lying on the ground. Both of his eyes emitted a gaze filled with a desire to kill. Kaiden reached down with one hand and lifted Jack's body high in front of him. "Well, well, well! It's been a long time since I killed a Warrior! A year or two ago, perhaps? Who knows! I forget!" Kaiden seemed to want to speak to Jack, even though the young man couldn't even lift his head upright. "The last Warrior to die by my hand, do you want to know how I killed him?" Kaiden shook his head, as if it were something trivial. "I separated his head from his body!" At the same time. "Jack, wake up! You can't just stand there and allow this man to land his final blow on you!" Faintly, between consciousness and unconsciousness, Jack heard Quantara's voice in his ears. "You have to use your super technique now!" Her voice continued to echo in Jack's ears. "I can't..." Jack seemed to respond to Quantara's words. He didn't know if it was just his thoughts or if
"Since it's been over a week, do you want to upgrade your super skills again, Jack?" Jack just smiled. "What kind of question is that? Of course, you already know the answer, don't you?" He had waited a week for this moment. Now that he had achieved it, how could he pass it up? Quantara also smiled. "How much of an upgrade do you want?" "Full upgrade!" Jack didn't know what would happen to his body. He simply closed his eyes, waiting to see what would occur. "Alright, as you want!" After Quantara said that, the system within Jack's body made the purchase and installation. [Upgrading completed] [Strength: Level 10] [Agility: Level 10] [Defense: Level 10] [Recovery: Level 10] With maximum upgrades to his body, Jack felt a powerful sensation coursing through him. This strong yet comfortable sensation was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. When the process finished, and he opened his eyes, a brief flash of red light could be seen emanating from them. Jack experie
Lenora led Rebecca to her room, not far from Jack's room on the third floor. "Rest for a moment, dear! I'll prepare some food for you!" As Lenora descended the stairs, in the living room she saw a man dressed in black with a black mask, none other than Rowan, waiting for her. "Mrs. Calder, the situation is becoming increasingly uncontrollable! The Wigram family forces keep pressing to enter the villa!" "What about that woman?" "She's fine! But if our forces fall, there's no guarantee she'll survive! There's no other way, we need to send more people!" Lenora shook her head. "No need! I don't want to deplete our resources for unnecessary warfare! I did this to repay my debt to Jack's family! Now that he's conscious and recovering, it's his responsibility to take care of his mother!" "But are you sure this young man is tough enough to fight against such a large force?" Lenora took a deep breath. "To be honest, I'm not sure about that! Even though he's a Warrior, it's impossible t
Jarred did as the man commanded. Raising both his hands up, he moved away from his weapon and knelt on the ground. After that, from the direction of the gate, dozens of soldiers dressed in thick black armor costumes were seen entering the courtyard. One, two, three, ... Jarred continued to count each of them one by one. In his estimation, their number was at least no less than a hundred men wearing the same costume. This suit of armor was an attribute typically used by the military. The steel helmets and armor they wore served the same basic function, which was to protect the wearer from various types of bullets. "Damn!" Jarred cursed inwardly. "They seem to be from the military! No wonder they were able to slaughter my people in a relatively short time!" Not only did their costumes look highly advanced, but the weapons they held in their hands were also equipped with green lasers that provided information to the user each time it locked onto a target. With these lasers, the sho
