As Aaron casually stepped outside, he could see the city bustling and alive with the energy of the holiday season. The streets were adorned with twinkling lights, and the shops' windows displayed festive decorations and merchandise. Crowds of people bustled along the sidewalks, many with shopping bags and packages in hand as they went about their holiday errands.

As the end of the year approached, the atmosphere in the city was one of anticipation and excitement.

Aaron inhaled deeply.

"Hmm... I've missed this..." He had defined forgotten how Christmas used to feel at home. But it wasn't like celebrating Christmas in Birmingham wasn't fun either.

There's just a special feel that being at home adds to it. Especially when he has been away for so long.

The Revenmar company was no exception from this atmosphere, as the highly anticipated end-of-year award ceremony drew near. This year's event was expected to be even grander than usual, as the heir to the conglomerate company had recently

    Aiden stood in front of the club which should be the place that Hector had marked out on the map he sent him on his mobile.From the outlook of the club, there wasn't anything really special about it.The thumping bass of the music emanating from the building was almost deafening if one was to say, but as loud as it was, it sounded so distant as Aiden stepped closer, and was punctuated by the occasional shout or cheer from inside.Aiden was about to step inside but was stopped by the stocky guards that stood by the door not wanting to cause an unnecessary fight from the entrance so the police wouldn't come sooner than expected, Arnold decided to play by the book. He opened the black briefcase he was holding. In it was an array of dollars that lit their faces.They immediately coughed and let him in without saying too much.Aiden let out a soft chuckle, "Bastards..." He mumbled as he walked inside the club.He was immediately hit with a blast of hot, humid air, as the combined body heat

    "Come on Hendrick! What are you doing?" Hector screamed.He was beginning to feel like he's head was going to fall off his neck.As one would expect dealing with a guy who is the top three of Aiden's mafia family.This guy was just too laid back even after hearing that Aiden had gone on ahead to face the gangs himself."Stop, don't disturb me.""What do you mean don't disturb you?! Boss is in danger!!""Careful how you speak Hector, that man is the third... you should respect the hierarchy."Hector's head immediately dropped as the person that talked slowly walked closer to him.Aiden did mention that he should reach out to all the guys, but there was no news that this guy was in town.Even the sight of him was terrific, such that he couldn't stand and watch for too long.He bowed his head, "The boss has requested help...""You don't know him""Huh?" Hector was shocked by the statement. What do they mean by 'he doesn't know him'?'...does it even matter, if I know him or not, the boss

    But what will be will be.He had to do this for the boy to learn a lesson and if he would be recruiting this boy to his gang according to what the system wanted him to do that meant he had to show him how strong he is.Beating him to a pulp was necessary.With the way the boy moved, Aiden knew the boy was probably very skilled but he was also cocky, and that made him vulnerable. Aiden gripped his bat tightly, ready for him.The boy charged at him, his knife swinging wildly at Aiden. But Aiden was just waiting for him. With a swift sidestep, he dodged the boy's first strike and delivered a powerful blow to his ribs. The boy grunted in pain but kept coming, his eyes blazing with fury. They circled each other, the tension in the air thickening with each passing moment. The other gangsters watched in silence, their eyes glued to the two men as they prepared for the showdown.

    Aiden felt so relieved as he walked out of the shower, flexing his muscle body as he took every step– it wasn't an intentional thing, being athletic just sort of fit him too well.He slipped into casual jeans and wore a round-necked shirt, leaving his hair rough and wet from the water. and cleaning his chin with a towel as he had previously shaved away the little beards that were struggling to come out.He had enjoyed his look so far and wasn't really sure how a beard would look on his face so he has been shaving it off regularly."Boss." Eduard, bowed ninety degrees as Aiden walked out of his room in a flip-flop slipper and sank into the one-seat sofa that sat at one corner of the living room."Ed, it is nice to see you..." Aiden said, admiring the handsome young man."How have things been? Are you angry I summoned you here when I know you probably have a lot you are taking care of over there?"Eduard chuckled, "No way... I will heed your call any time and anywhere you call me. And a

    The boy still held high his arrogant face. He was not going to talk no matter what Aiden said and unbeknownst to him, that act of his was only breeding more and more anger in the eyes of Aiden's subordinates who were sitting there silent as Aiden asked a question and he refused to answer. 'Ah, this is so difficult. How do I get through to this Kid." Aiden thought, scratching his head as he was getting fed up of the boy's provocative silence. He was frowning and holding his silence even after asking numerous time in different ways. "Are you Hallandale's son?" "Where is Hallandale?""Where do you guys stay?" "Why is a kid like you living a thug life?" No matter how many forms Aiden's question took, it ended in that same solstice of the solemn atmosphere– the boy refused to respond. Wham! What happened was in an instance, he moved too fast for Aiden to react or stop him. And the boy's head swung into the head as he kicked him like a ball. The boy rolled over three times before c

    Mishina Ren was all-powerful, no place was beyond his reach, whether it was the business world or the political world. His influence mattered and everyone was well informed of how brutal he can be."Who would dare? To me, Mishina Ren!!" He yelled with his eyes widened after seeing the video footage of what was left of the clubs he use– funny thing was, the footage was sent to him by the very same police that Eduard called to take care of the rest after cleaning the important parts."What do you want us to do, Ren-sama?" His secretary, the big-breasted woman, Rika asked."Call Daisuke, the culprits must be found. And I want them alive." He commanded with a dark face, heaving with anger."Well acknowledged, Ren-sama" She bowed and left his front.*********[You have completed the side quest][Level Up!!][Level Up!!][Level Up!!][Level Up!!][Level Up!!][Level Up!!][Level Up!!][Level Up!!][Level Up!!]"Wow, ten levels?

    ”Uh?”Aiden was dumbfounded, he tried to make sense of this- running his mind through who he might have pissed of to be called very stupid. To now make matters worse, it was a female’s voice.“Excuse me, who am I speaking to?” Aiden spoke, confused and with caution. He was even almost bowing his head.“Urgh?!! Can you even hear yourself? Who are you speaking to?! Damn you bro!! How can you do this to me! How can you tell me *hiccups* who are you? *hiccups*…how—” It was evident that the voice was crying and in a completely messed mood.And that fact sort of made Aiden who was not a fan of ladies get nervous. He could count the number of times he had spoken to a girl back in Birmingham and most of them were either Trish’s friend or some random gang ladies who were trying to woo him. That could be the case with this strange voice too but with the way the voice quaked and how sincere it sound, Aiden doubted.“I’m sorry if I have offended—Beep beepThe phone call go hung up immediately le

    Aiden's eyelids fluttered, and the world gradually swam into focus. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled his nose, and the soft beep of machines provided a rhythmic background to his returning consciousness. The events leading up to his current state seemed distant and fragmented, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle he was struggling to put together.As his vision cleared, he found his grandfather sitting by his bedside. A smile stretched Aiden's face. Movements caused his grandfather to look up from his book, his eyes filled with relief as he saw Aiden waking up. With a steady hand, he reached out and pressed the call bell above Aiden's bed."I'm so glad you are awake. Oh, I have been worried sick about you! The doctors said your chances of survival were slim, but I was certain that the boy I and your ma raised was stronger than that."Within moments, the door swung open, revealing a trio of medical personnel entering the room.

The Chairman was by the side, speaking to some of the board of directors present.Trisha watched Aiden with concern in her eyes, mouthing her words. she asked if he was fine, to which he nodded in the affirmative.
