............"Okay, everything looks good, but we need them to speed up a bit!" Rohan checked the files and gave a nod at their progress.But he had to finish the system task, and more than a week had already passed; only three weeks were left."Hey, won't that affect the quality of our work?" Riya asked, feeling concerned."No, it won't! They just need to hire more workers, and I'm sure Director Allen Morrison knows exactly what I need!" Rohan assured.Rohan was about to make a call, but before doing so, he decided to check his balance. He silently thought, 'Status' in his mind.[Status[Host: Rohan Johnson[Age: 25[Balance: 4,490,000,000 USD[Body: 166 (Average)[Mind: 166 (Average)[Skills: Basic First Aid (Mastery).The Essence of Zen Martial: First Move - Flowing Water Stance (Mastery), Second Move - Stillness in Motion Technique (Mastery).Metrona Blitz: First Move - Eclipsing Strike (Mastery).

............Business District, Willow Crest Builders HQ,"Director, here's today's report. Please take a look," a young man in an office suit handed a file to his boss.Allen Morrison, a tall and distinguished man in his late 40s with a salt-and-pepper beard, wore well-fitted suits and exuded professionalism."Hmm, everything is going well, which is good. However, we need to hire more workers and purchase additional heavy machinery and other necessary items. Please create a list of these items and print it out," Allen Morrison reviewed the report and instructed his assistant while noting down the things he mentioned."Director, did you forget to request funds from Mr. Johnson? The previous funds he provided have already been spent on their new office building and ongoing projects. We need new funding," Assistant Kalyan reminded his boss."Oh, I haven't done that yet, but considering his previous urgency to complete this project, he might call me again," Allen Morrison replied.As if
............"Young miss seems to be seeing a young man!" the bodyguard replied."What...who is that guy? No...Scratch that just tell me your location, and I'll be right there!" Allen shouted as he clenched the car handle tightly and immediately started the car, hearing the location from the bodyguard."How dare you, whoever you are! I am going to skin you alive and pluck your balls out to play ping pong with them. Just you wait!" His eyes were bloodshot as he muttered cruel words of torture.Fortunately, the call was disconnected, and the bodyguard didn't hear his words; otherwise, he would immediately give up being his daughter's bodyguard and stay far away from her.Because his wife had tragically passed away during childbirth, leaving him with their only daughter, Ravina Morrison, he had devoted all his efforts to raising her. He became extremely protective of her, especially when it came to her safety.He had hired nannies to care for her and secretly employed bodyguards to wat
............"Alright, catch you later, guys!" Rohan bid them farewell and exited the cafe, so as not to disrupt the father-daughter bonding time.Rohan and Riya had chatted all afternoon about the restaurant's game plan, including decorations and the menu.The evening had set in by the time they wrapped up, crafting a basic plan that would be managed by experts later on.Rohan gave her the green light to start hiring employees for the increased workload when the chain restaurants open.Right after leaving their new office, he bumped into Ravina Morrison at the intersection. Meeting the daughter of his acquaintance and witnessing their playful moments was unexpected."Well, it was nice meeting Ms. Morrison and getting to know Mr. Allen Morrison," Rohan thought as he drove his new car.Currently, he was en route to the regular Real Estate to talk about the decor of his newly built restaurants.He planned to decorate the completed buildings one by one so that everything would be ready
............"You seriously don't know about this woman? Listen, do you know what everyone calls her outside who know her!" Rohan said in a hushed tone to Arjun near his ear."I really don't know, because of my work, I have been busy, so I don't have time to look around!" Arjun replied while feeling embarrassed, as a previous salesman, it's basic to know about city gossip."Listen then, Supriya Williams, a brain-dead fool who likes nothing else to do except showing off and making threats with little weight in them. That's how she is known outside!" Rohan related the same line he found in an article about her."Are you for real?" Arjun showed a taken aback expression while glancing at the woman's face."Yup, apparently, it's true!" Rohan nodded, feeling sorry for Arjun for coming across this kind of thing.Rohan also found out some information about her when he was searching for that genius from the William family but ended up with this useless info."What should I do then?" Arjun ask
............"Oh, You are done with the discussion, Mr. Johnson!" Just then Rohan came out along with Arjun, finishing their short discussion. Ina Woodfall stood up as she addressed him.Bringing Misla and Susan attention towards Rohan. "Hello, Mr. Johnson!" Misla greeted Rohan with a cheerful smile, making Rohan nod at her.Rohan observed her and found her beautiful. She was wearing a white shirt that was stretched to its limit because of her ample bosom, and below, she was wearing a black short skirt. She covered her sexy thighs with matching stockings and wore high heels. Overall, she looked glamorous and very alluring."Hello, Mr. Johnson, it's a pleasure meeting you!" Susan Wells showed boldness as she came forward and greeted Rohan while extending her hand."I am Susan Wells, a colleague of Mr. Manager here. Please take care of me!" She shook Rohan's hand and introduced herself.His eyes turned to another beautiful lady who was giving off aggressive vibes.Susan also was wear
............"What's the scoop?" Rohan asked, eyeing him keenly."Elite Haven Club. After asking around for a week, we found out that both Viper and Specter were last seen there before they vanished," Mick said, his expression showing he found it hard to believe himself."That exclusive club that only a select few in the city can get into!" Rohan looked surprised to hear Mick's words.He never expected to hear that name, let alone its connection to the underworld."Please, just give us some extra time. I'm confident we can figure out if it's true or not. If it is, we'll need to take some serious steps," Mick requested, his concern evident."Alright, I'll grant you guys an additional two weeks to confirm this information," Rohan said, allowing them ample time for their investigation."If there's even a hint of truth to this, prepare yourselves for potential threats and be ready to defend. I suggest you all work on strengthening your gang individually and as a whole," Rohan warned, off
............"Mmm, this guy's name is Rohan Johnson, 25 years old. He used to work at Altair Corporation not too long ago but got fired." Bunny stopped before she continued."From the info we gathered, he's just a weak and poor guy from the countryside who doesn't have anything to show far. But the real shocker is how he could afford the newest Celetia car. And the most surprising part is this, look at him, boss!" Bunny told her boss, while grunting in disbelief as she shared info about Rohan.She played a video on her smartphone, an accident where Rohan Johnson saved a child being run over by a heavy vehicle."W-What... Who said he's weak and poor, Bunny?" The boss stared at the video with a wide-open mouth and big eyes. In the video, it wasn't clear how Rohan managed to rescue the child and even the driver before the explosion."Let me slow it down," Bunny said, reducing the video speed to ten times. Finally, they could see Rohan jumping from his flipped car which was still in the
............The man seated on the plush couch was a man from the Dragorin hidden Family, a figure of immense power and influence. His very presence dominated the room, and even someone as powerful as Mord knew he had to show respect.“So, you were sent by Elias Kurovsky? You’re so weak!” the man finally spoke after giving Mord a brief glance. He shook his head in disappointment, his voice carrying a hint of disdain.“Master Dragorin, please don’t worry about my strength. I may be weak, but I’ve built a strong network in these lands. With it, I can help you accomplish your task easily,” Mord replied calmly, despite clenching his fists tightly. His tone was confident, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.Mord had heard from his brother Elias that the Dragorin family was searching for some traitors who had escaped. They needed his information network to track them down, and that knowledge made Mord confident. He sneered inwardly, thinking, *No matter how powerful you are, you still nee
............Ade nodded, a grim expression settling on his face. "Exactly. The Dragorin Hidden Family isn’t known for backing down easily. They’re powerful, and they know it. If it comes to a fight, things could get ugly fast."Rohan leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. The Dragorin family were no ordinary opponents—they were dangerous, cunning, and deeply entrenched in the power struggles of the hidden Martial world. A direct clash with them could lead to consequences far beyond their control."We need to be prepared," Rohan said after a moment, his tone more serious. "If we’re going to confront them, we can’t afford to underestimate their strength. Otherwise, we’ll be the ones to lose.""Agreed," Ade replied, his eyes narrowing as he considered the power of the Dragorin Hidden Family. "We need to gather all the intel we can and be ready for anything. The moment they make a move, we have to be ready to strike without hesitation."Rohan nodded, already thinking through strategi
............"Ehh...really!" Riya and Priya looked at each other with incredulous look, wondering why did they not notice that."You really forgot to look at the report, didn't you!" Sofia Baur look at Riya and Priya with twitch in her temple thinking these two really became spendrifts."About that, Sister Riya. It's about time to call our irresponsible Boss, shouldn't we." Priya said with raising corner of her mouth thinking only option as to how they can solve fund problem."Ahh... Rohan, should we...?" Riya hesitated, unsure of how to express her concerns. If they didn’t have more funds, they wouldn’t be able to complete the upcoming projects."What are you so worried about? Didn't he say before that if we needed more funds, we could just contact him and he'd transfer what we need?" Priya replied, noticing Riya's anxiety. She wasn’t the least bit troubled about calling him. After all, she was just an employee, and there was no harm in asking their boss for financial support.Priya
............"How should I know what those arrogant shits are thinking? I just hope they don't enter Willowbrook City, or I might have to do something about them!" Rohan shrugged, his words turning cold."Hey... hey, Rohan... my man, you should know those arrogant guys aren't just any average men. It's what they have backing them that makes them so arrogant... and we're not in their league to criticize them." Ade looked speechless at Rohan's direct and cold words, even though he agreed. He knew they were nothing special compared to those arrogant piece of shits.As Ade was lost in thought, Rohan was mulling over the information.'How should I handle them? I'm not sure why their activity is getting closer to Willowbrook City. Are they here for the Turner siblings? Even if that possibility is slim, I need to make sure these arrogant guys don't get close to Willowbrook City,' Rohan thought, speculating why the Dragorin Hidden Family decided to send their men to all the neighboring citie
............Ade nodded and sprinted towards the door, while Ravi stood guard to prevent any other gangsters from escaping.The fight was already over except for a few men who came with Hans Schmidt. They stood, looking at Rohan with murderous intent while helping Hans to stand firm.As Ade sprinted through the side door, he followed the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the dimly lit hallway. Arman Mace's shadow flickered in the distance as he rounded a corner. Ade quickened his pace, feeling like he was chasing a mouse, and a grin formed on his face.Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Rohan advanced on Hans Schmidt. The remaining gang members, though outnumbered and exhausted, stood protectively around their leader. Rohan's eyes flickered as he thought about how to get information from this trash and dismantle the gang so they could never regroup."You think you can still walk away?" Rohan said, his voice calm but firm. "I've already given you a death sentence, so don't even thi
...... ...... "Like he said, we are not interested. So, care to tell us where your gang leader is?" Ade stepped forward, clearly annoyed, standing in front of Arman. He was not pleased with Arman's attempt to buy time. Even Ravi could see that Arman was just trying to keep them busy with his trash talk. "Fine, you asked for it." Arman, with a disgruntled expression, noticed his phone ringing. Understanding what this meant, he smirked at Rohan and his group. "Get back, Ade. We have a guest who seems to have just arrived!" Rohan, who was keeping a vigilant watch, noticed a few other presences outside the warehouse. Seeing Rohan's warning and vigilant expression, Ade instantly moved back beside him. Arman picked up the phone, his smirk widening into a sinister grin as he answered. "Right on time," he muttered, his eyes never leaving Rohan's. Rohan and Ade exchanged wary glances, both tense and more cautious at the change in Arman Mace's face. The atmosphere inside the warehouse g
............"1...10...30....55... Hmm, there are not that many here. Where might the rest be?" Rohan counted and looked back at Ravi for an answer."They should be patrolling other areas or maybe collecting money from the vendors," Ravi replied after thinking for a moment, checking the time. It was his guess based on the usual activity his team had observed from the gang."Hey, you fuckers, I'm talking to you! Are you ignoring me?" The gangsters who had thrown bottles on the ground glared at Rohan and his group, feeling ignored. Anger flashed across their faces."Crash...!""Fuck it, let's teach them a lesson!" Another group of five stood up, throwing their bottles too. Ten gangsters advanced towards Rohan, Ade, and Ravi."Damn it, they think we're weaklings!" one of the gangsters muttered angrily. Feeling humiliated by Rohan's dismissive attitude, they lunged at him, who was standing at the front."Swiish... Bam! ... Ahhhh...!!""Crash... Thud... Thud...!!"Just as the gangsters lu
............"Thank you again, Mister, and you too. Please, let me show my gratitude sometime if you have the time. Here’s my contact info!" Anshika Kumari bowed and thanked Rohan and Ade once more, offering her phone number to Rohan. She felt that words alone weren't enough to express her gratitude and wanted to invite them to dinner sometime.Although she was poor, she knew how important it was to be thankful after being saved from such a dangerous situation.If Rohan and Ade hadn't arrived when they did, who knows what that gangster might have done to her."It's alright. We'll call you when we have some time. Now off you go. That nice lady will drop you off wherever you need to go. And make sure you don't follow any shady uncles next time, alright?" Rohan smiled gently, noticing the little lady's smile, a stark contrast to her earlier crestfallen expression."Mmm... see you next time, Mister. Farewell for now!" Anshika Kumari nodded and said goodbye to Rohan and Ade before being g
............"Okay...Ms. Kumari, can you tell us how you ended up here? You know this place is very dangerous and filled with gangsters like those guys over there!" Rohan asked the girl pointed at the two pigs lying on the floor, wondering what her story was and what kind of situation led this girl to this dangerous place."I...!" Anshika looked at Rohan's face, hearing his words, unsure where to start explaining her situation that led to her current predicament.She became emotional as she remembered why she followed that portly man despite knowing he had no good intentions.At twenty years old, Anshika’s mother had suddenly been admitted to the hospital due to a stroke. Coming from a poor family of two, both mother and daughter relied heavily on each other, so she was in distress, needing urgent money for her mother's treatment.By chance, she met a portly middle-aged man who offered to pay her mother's hospital bills in exchange for doing something for him. With no other choice, s
