"Oh, really? Well, what if I do want to cause trouble?" Louis taunted, glancing at Ricard as he deliberately lifted his right foot and took a step forward.Louis wore a disdainful smile as if daring Ricard to make a move.Ricard watched Louis lift his foot and set it down. The moment Louis's foot touched the ground, Ricard grabbed a beer bottle from the table and hurled it at Louis's head.The bottle shattered on Louis's head, causing him to instinctively clutch his head and stagger backward several steps.Louis began to curse but was interrupted by a sharp pain in his leg, a pain so intense he could only scream.Ricard had driven the broken beer bottle into Louis's calf, causing blood to flow immediately. The sight of blood made the two men holding Alian instinctively take a breath in shock.They operated in the bar street near the university, and the knives at their waists were mostly for scaring students. If they were actually expected to do something, they would likely balk.Heari
Dressed in black suits, gang members stood in line at the entrance.Alian saw Mr. Michael and Jony enter the club earlier and swallowed nervously. "Brother-in-law, are we really going in? I've heard Aishah reserved the entire place tonight for something big.""We're going in," Ricard said, patting Alian on the shoulder as he headed for the entrance.As soon as Liam called, Ricard had rushed over. His reason for bringing Alian was simple: to help him vent his frustrations.Alian tugged at Ricard's sleeve nervously, "Brother-in-law, we might not be able to get in.""Aren't you a member of Aishah?" Ricard asked curiously.Alian nodded, "I am, but my rank isn't high enough.""No problem," Ricard said dismissively. "Just follow my lead."Without waiting for a response, Ricard walked straight to the entrance. Alian, unable to argue, followed closely behind, heart pounding. He knew that Aishah's rules were strict; showing up uninvited to a major event could result in severe punishment. As th
A young woman emerged from behind Lewis. She appeared to be in her twenties, dressed in casual sportswear, with her hair tied in a ponytail. Without saying anything, she walked straight into the iron cage. Her appearance caused murmurs among the crowd; no one expected the first fighter from Ledo to be such a young woman."Beckam, do you think Ledo is going easy on us? Mr. Steven probably won't need even one hand to beat that girl, right?" Alian looked at the two fighters in the cage, his face showing slight disbelief. The contrast was like a big gray wolf against a little white rabbit.Beckam nodded in agreement, about to comment when Ricard's voice interrupted."Your Mr. Steven is going to lose."Beckam was displeased and looked at Ricard. "Kid, do you even know what you're talking about? How could A Mãnh lose?"Alian added, "Brother-in-law, Mr. Steven probably won't lose. Look at the girl's physique; she can't possibly be a match for Mr. Steven."Ricard shook his head and smiled. "P
“I will!” Ricard shouted, standing up amidst the surprised looks from Alian, Beckam, and the three girls, Belle, Jessica, and Marielia.Liam immediately felt reassured upon hearing Ricard's voice. She turned to look at his familiar figure, but before she could speak, an unhappy voice rang out from within Aishah society.“Get back immediately! Who do you think you are?” Jony glared at Ricard, shouting angrily.Michael had just lost, so anyone stepping up now would imply they thought themselves better than Mr. Michael. Unlike others, Michael's reputation in Aishah was built on his fighting skills, including his status as the runner-up in the provincial Sanshou championship. Anyone suggesting they were better than Mr. Michael was essentially saying they deserved a higher status than him in Aishah.In Jony’s eyes, Ricard and his group were Etham’s subordinates. Now that one of Etham's men wanted to step up and overshadow his superior, Jony was naturally displeased.Ricard looked at Jony w
Hearing this, Michael felt a bad premonition. "Mr. Snake, is he—""Michael, you've been in this group long enough. You should know some things. Back then, more than fifty of our brothers at Bướm Đêm were taken down by this man alone. We were ambushed by the Đại Quyển group at Nugstibant Tower, and he single-handedly destroyed them. When Ledo's second-in-command came for revenge, it was this man who ensured our survival. Honestly, I'm in awe of you guys."With each word Snake spoke, Mr. Michael's face grew paler. By the end, he was nearly speechless.Jony and his men were in shock. As members of Aishah society, they had heard of these major events and the mysterious master within their ranks. They just never expected that the master was this young man they had dismissed as Etham's subordinate.In contrast to Jony's group's grim faces, Alian was trembling with excitement.The legendary master of Aishah was actually his brother-in-law! This was unbelievable!"Michael, your men better sit
"Right, their speed is incredible. If I fought any of them, I’d lose instantly. Facing three, it’s nearly impossible."As the three moved, Ricard took his hands out of his pockets. In that instant, they closed in.One aimed a knee at his lower back, but Ricard stepped forward, dodging by forty centimeters, making the knee miss. To the spectators, it looked like Ricard narrowly escaped by luck.But Ricard knew that the knee, though seemingly dangerous, posed no threat. Missing by even a millimeter still meant a miss.Ricard had just dodged the knee strike when a punch aimed for his face. Moving with lightning speed, he struck the elbow of the opponent's outstretched arm. Another attacker then tried to kick his calf, but Ricard didn't bother dodging. Instead, he let the kick land on his leg.The kicker's expression changed drastically. It felt like kicking a solid iron block rather than a person. Although he was the one attacking, the pain shot up his leg.Absolute dominance in strength
Liam watched Ricard's hurried departure, a fleeting look of loneliness in her eyes that quickly vanished. "Brother Lewis, this fight, we won.""Haha, young hero, young hero indeed," Lewis said, giving a thumbs up.Alian and the others also stood and quickly followed Ricard out of the arena.Jony's group, seeing Ricard leave in a hurry, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the matter was over. Surely, someone as powerful as Ricard wouldn't come back to cause them trouble.Just as they had this thought, Ricard returned with Alian."Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention," Ricard said, turning back, "You, Mr. Michael and Jony, my friend here will come to talk to you later. Don't disappoint me!"With that, Ricard hurriedly left again.Mr. Michael and his group nodded repeatedly, forcing smiles that looked more like grimaces. "Sure, sure."On the way back, Ricard drove, flooring the gas pedal. Those in the car watched his anxious expression, stifling their laughter. The imposing master t
Ricard took the elevator to the 13th floor, found Room 2, and unlocked the door. The so-called single apartment was definitely luxurious, with at least 130 square meters. The living room, bedroom, and bathroom were all spacious and lavishly decorated with intricate wallpaper and high-end furnishings. The wooden floors were spotless.In the apartment was a studio, complete with drawing materials, suggesting it was set up for Ricard's assumed identity. Looking around, Ricard saw it wasn't a recent arrangement. Some paint jars were half-used, and a drawing on an easel was half-finished, creating the illusion that someone regularly painted there.Just as Ricard finished surveying the apartment, the doorbell rang."Coming!" Ricard called out. He went to the living room, thought for a moment, and took off his suit jacket, leaving only his shirt on before opening the door. Three women—Milan, Like, and Jeannie—stood outside with a man Ricard hadn't met before. The man had a beard, braided hai
