............Rohan's excitement soared as he received a message, informing him that he was just a few steps away from becoming a VIP member of PerformStream.In PerformStream, VIP members enjoyed special privileges, with the most important one for Rohan being a share in the rewards for contributors who helped make a streamer successful. The more you contributed, the better your share percentage would be."They're really going all out, and I'm pretty sure that initially, people might have been skeptical about this, but once they get the hang of it, this platform is bound to break records," Rohan thought, impressed by the clever strategy employed by the creators of the site."Let's figure out how much I need to spend to become a VIP user on PerformStream," Rohan thought, determined to check it out. He visited the site and began to examine the details."Wow, just two more expensive gifts and I'll be a VIP user! But I wonder how much profit share I'd get," Rohan observed as he looked a
............Rohan eagerly watched the livestream and found great enjoyment in it."I believe choosing the larger option would be a splendid idea!" Rohan concluded, opting for the top-ranked gift on the platform for now.With a decisive click, Rohan selected the top-tier gift, surpassing even the Radiant Luxe Gem, with a price tag of $50,000. He felt a mix of excitement and anticipation as he sent the extravagant gift onto the virtual stage.The fans in the livestream erupted into a frenzy of exuberant emojis, exclamations, and heart icons.BeatBard: "Whoa, @MelodyAdmirer just took the game to a whole new level!"GameTuneLover: "This is next-level support right here! Respect, @MelodyAdmirer!"RhythmRider: "The competition just got heated! That gift is a game-changer."MusicFanatic77: "I'm speechless! That gift is the ultimate flex."GamerDude42: "@MelodyAdmirer got the power moves! That's how you show your appreciation!"GiftGiverX: "Unbelievable generosity! This is setting a new st
............"I've used up a total of 150K already, so with my 60% share, I should get 90K tomorrow," Rohan mumbled as he calculated his spending."Thankfully, it's Sunday today. If not, I'd have had to think about borrowing money!" Rohan patted his hands, stood up from the chair, feeling soreness in his rear, and headed to the dining room for lunch.The share you receive is based on how much you spend on a single streamer in a week. So, once a week, you'll get a share, except for the first time."Hey mister, lunch is ready!" Mia's voice echoed from the kitchen."Oh, I'm already here," Rohan replied, settling down at the dining table."Here you go, mister. Your hot lunch!" Mia emerged from the kitchen with steaming plates, serving Rohan. After Jake and Mia brought the food to the table, the three of them sat down together and enjoyed their meal.After their meal, Rohan received a message from Emilia expressing her gratitude for his gifts, which had helped her secure a top 3 ranking.
............As Rohan forced the door open, it broke, causing him to stumble into the room."Who the fuck barges into my room?" An angry voice confronted Rohan, who quickly got back on his feet and dusted himself off."Huh, what the...!" He saw a young man in his twenties, standing only in his boxers, while a girl lay on the couch, wearing only underwear.What disturbed Rohan the most was recognizing the girl; the situation left him extremely angry."What are you staring at, you fucker!" The guy had the audacity to shout at Rohan, despite his own wrongdoing."You fucking piece of shit!" Driven by anger and without much thought, Rohan grabbed a bottle from the table and lunged at the guy."Crash...!" "Thud...!"The bottle in Rohan's hand struck the guy in his boxer shorts with a heavy impact.Immediately, the guy was forcefully pushed to the ground with a thud, and bleeding began from his head. He lay there motionless, almost appearing dead."Riya...Riya...wake up...hey!" Unmindful of
............"Hahahah! Who are you fooling? The effects of the drug should be kicking in by now. You'll start feeling drowsy, and soon your strength will vanish. Not to mention, your ability to shout will dwindle, and you'll find it hard to even move a finger!" He chuckled while explaining the drug's effects on her body.As he predicted, her head began to feel fuzzy, and her physical strength diminished gradually. "Helpmph...!"As her strength dwindled, she tried to shout, but her voice faltered, and her attempt to kick out resulted in her accidentally knocking over a bottle. "Crash...!"The bottle shattered, producing a loud noise that echoed through the room.(Flashback End)"After he tore my clothes off, I felt so angry and helpless that my mind shut down!" Riya explained, her voice trembling as she imagined the possible outcome if Rohan hadn't arrived in time."It's okay, nothing happened," Rohan reassured her, gently stroking her hair."But he's bleeding a lot. It would be ter
............"Are you serious about wanting me to manage your restaurant business?" Riya asked in surprise, as Rohan's tone seemed sincere rather than playful.She didn't question his statement about making her a CEO of a top company in Willowbrook City, as she wasn't even sure if she could handle a small business, let alone a company."Well, the truth is, I don't know anything about management. I heard you're studying for a future in this field, so I figured you'd be much better at it than me, who knows nothing about business," Rohan explained honestly, and Riya could see the sincerity in his eyes.Rohan had his own struggles with trusting people after recent events, but he was actively trying to change and become a better person."I'm really not sure if I can handle it," Riya responded with uncertainty in her voice."Okay, how about this? You don't have to decide right now. I'll ask you again in two days, and you can take the time to think if you really want to take it on or not,"
............"Riya and Emily, I'm coming in!" Rohan announced and entered the room."Hey, Brother Rohan, this is our first time meeting. I invited you over, but then this happened!" Emily's smile lit up as she saw Rohan's face.She hugged his arm and expressed her disappointment about missing out on dinner."Don't worry, you can invite me later once you've become a top streamer." Rohan smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind. He hinted that she would rise to the top and become a famous streamer."I'll definitely invite you next time, even if I don't become the top ranker!" Emily grinned upon hearing Rohan's understanding words. She resolved to ensure no interruptions next time."Anyway, Riya and Emily, let me drop you off at your college entrance. It might get chaotic if we stay here any longer," Rohan suggested. He anticipated that once the staff or other students learned about the incident, things might spiral out of control."Sure, sounds good." Riya and Emily
............In the Evercare Hospital,"How's my son, Doctor Wallace?" a plump woman in her late forties inquired as the Doctor emerged from the operating room."Don't worry, Lady Victoria. Your son is doing well. He'll need a few weeks to recover," Doctor Wallace replied, his tone soothing."Thank you, Doctor Wallace!" Lady Victoria expressed her gratitude, wiping her eyes as she spoke.She's Lady Victoria Tanaka, Kaito Tanaka's mother. She's also the sister of the current head of the Tanaka family.Her rich auburn hair is carefully styled, and she wears exquisite jewelry, showing her love for all things lavish.Although she rushed over upon hearing about her son, she still managed to apply her makeup before coming.Victoria, being the daughter of the prestigious Tanaka family, carries herself with an air of pretentiousness, flaunting her lineage at every opportunity that she gets.Today, she's showing humility due to her son's situation, and she's careful not to upset the doctor wh
............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
