............"Chirp...Chirp..."The morning glow of the sun and the chirping of birds in the background, along with the melody of water sprinkling on the flowers, created a serene atmosphere. The gentle sound of wind rustling through the leaves of the trees and the calm movement of curtains added to the peaceful scene.Inside a garden-view villa, a patient lay on a soft bed, covered in bandages."Ahh...!" He fluttered open his eyes, looking confused for a moment before realizing he was lying on the soft bed, wrapped in bandages."Creeeak...!""Brother, you finally woke up! Master... Brother is awake!" The gate opened, and a woman, seeing her brother's eyes looking towards her direction with clarity, called out with a happy expression before she came near him and sat down beside him."How long was I out for, Sis?" Brother asked as he sat up with a little difficulty, being helped by his sister."The whole night!" Sister replied as she peeled a fruit for him."Huh... I was out for the
............The Dragorin martial artists have been sought after as both protectors and teachers, their expertise coveted by kings and warriors alike. Even in modern times, the family continues to uphold its legacy, producing some of the world's most skilled and revered martial artists.Behind all the appearances, the Dragorin Hidden Family had a hidden truth. The family was large, with some members designated as main family and others as branch family.The main family, headed by the patriarch, and their descendants enjoyed more privileges and resources compared to the branch family members. This created a hierarchy where main family members were always considered superior to the branch family members, receiving better treatment.The younger generation of the main family looked down on the branch family members, seeing them as nothing more than servants within the family.This dynamic persisted to the present day, with branch family members becoming mere tools for the head of the fa
............"And that's not all. There are even more powerful elders in the Family who are head the branch Family and the Dragorin family core Council of elders," Jake added, making Rohan look at him with curiosity."Seriously, who's the most powerful in the Dragorin Hidden Family?" Rohan asked, his expression reflecting his intrigue.Inside, he thanked his lucky stars for being low-key. Who knows, if he had become a target for such families, he might have ended up dead without having the chance to even have regrets."Once I heard from our grandfather that the most powerful Martial in the Dragorin family is an ancestor who's sleeping in a certain place in the core of the family with heavy secrecy. I think he said something about that ancestor being able to fly in the air, kill from miles away with a wave of his hand, and rage an army to the ground with another hand!" Jake said, his tone uncertain as he pondered whether the ancestor was still alive or possessed such abilities."Huh..
............"I don't know about SORT, as you mentioned, Master, but there are one or two individuals who are keeping this country from collapsing into disorder and maintaining the peaceful lives of ordinary people," Jake stated after taking a sip of water from the glass Mia handed over."Hmm, just two individuals? What kind of people are they to control the whole law and order and have such a strong deterrent against those high and mighty Martial Artists?" Rohan spoke in surprise and awe in his tone."We never met them personally, so we have no idea about that, but I'm certain that even the Eight Sectums and Hidden Families feel wary of them, and they've never broken the rules set up by the two esteemed individuals," Mia and Jake both shook their heads as Jake spoke with awe and respect in his tone."Hmm, if those hidden forces are wary of the two, then they must be great individuals. Now I feel like meeting these two esteemed figures!" Rohan muttered eagerly, anticipating the encou
............After receiving the bountiful reward, Rohan instructed Riya, Priya, and Sofia to hold a meeting with all the companies Johnson Investment Group had invested in.The very next day, the various CEOs and directors of the big companies in Willowbrook City arrived at the meeting hall of Johnson Investment Group.Inside the meeting hall:"Hey, Sister Yuki, do you have any idea what Rohan might be up to? I was quite taken aback yesterday when Sister Priya proposed the last-minute huge investment to me. I didn't think much and accepted it since there weren't any disadvantages, but what do you think their goal is?" Mera Ward, sitting beside Ms. Yuki Suzuki, asked seriously in a low tone.Mera Ward, the CEO of Willow Motors and a good friend of Rohan Johnson, was here today to answer the summons of Johnson Investment Group because she had also accepted the enticing investment her good friend Priya offered her just yesterday.Mera was really intrigued by every action Rohan Johnson
............"Please pay attention to the things we are going to discuss in today's meeting, and voice your doubts after I am done explaining," Priya said, gesturing for Sofia to start the projector."Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know, our Johnson Investment Group isn't very old and stabilized not long ago, but our owner is very wealthy and saw the potential in this city, so he decided to invest in our future!" Priya spoke in a calm and deliberate manner."He wants one very simple thing: our development. He wants Willowbrook City to develop a decade ahead of other cities or even other countries, and to become the number one city in the world when it comes to development!" Priya continued, adding more details.Priya then explained how their development could surpass other cities or even countries, not just in infrastructure but also in technology, the medical field, the food industry, the music industry, the movie industry, and more."Each field needs to develop many times over what i
............"Great, let's start with the main field under infrastructure, the construction company." Riya relaxed a bit, seeing their nods, before stepping to the side as a projection showed the construction works of Willowbrook City."These are some construction works of various companies, as you see on the projection," Riya said, motioning to the screen displaying various building structures from different construction firms.She explained many details, outlining the pros and cons of each project shown in the presentation.Riya then highlighted new projects by the Allen Morrison construction company, Willow Crest Builders. She showcased their previous office building, various restaurant buildings from their chain, and the new project being built at the Prosperity Hope Orphanage.The people present at the meeting understood clearly which construction company stood out."After considering everything, we have decided that Willow Crest Builders, led by Mr. Allen Morrison, will become
............"Wait... wait... did you say 1 trillion...?" Allen Morrison exclaimed, bewildered, as he couldn't believe what they were saying."Hmm, yeah... is there a problem?" Riya nodded as she pointed at the transaction amount mentioned in the contract copies."No... no, it's not a problem, but how can you just drop such a heavy bomb on me!" Allen Morrison shook his head, showing his surprise."Mr. Morrison, are you going to keep getting surprised like that? I'm sure they have more planned for us!" Mera Ward commented, amused by Allen's reaction."Haha... for now, at least, we don't have anything else planned!" Riya shook her head at Mera's claim with a smile, then gestured for them to make their preparations.After saying that, Riya and Priya gave them some time as they started to call their banks and accountants to settle their accounts."Now then, let us begin!" Riya nodded at them, seeing they were ready. Priya helped Riya transfer 1 trillion each to the four of them before t
