The connection with Ivan was finally cut off, and he started thinking about how to get to SOHO headquarters.**You must know that SOHO is very prestigious and has many branches under them, but three major companies under their name.**The founder of SOHO was also very prestigious as he never showed himself on camera despite his wealth. Ivan was sure that some people must have seen him before, but he probably silenced them with money or the promise to collaborate with them.It was a well-known fact that if your company is able to hold on to a gold mine like SOHO, then you've hit the jackpot, so every company wanted to collaborate with them.What got Ivan confused was why his parents wanted him to meet them at SOHO headquarters and how they got there. SOHO is very strict with their workers, and those who were not acknowledged as workers would never be able to enter their headquarters due to the strict security.Also, even if you are a worker, you must be in a high position and status be
Ivan walked quietly and cautiously, confident in his powers, but still unsure how to use them, especially as darkness fell.Suddenly, Ivan stepped on something very elastic and quickly took several steps back in alertness, causing the rustling of leaves to sound loud in the quiet atmosphere.Looking back, Ivan spotted a threatening sight—a curled copperhead snake with distinct markings, flickering in the pale twilight.The copperhead, with its striking brown bands and ruddy body, blended seamlessly with the fallen leaves. Its venomous teeth glistened, and its triangular head poised menacingly, ready to strike.The snake measured about 0.7 meters in length, and its long tail indicated it was male.Aware of the copperhead's bite not being lethal but still potentially dangerous without immediate medical attention, Ivan realized he had to be cautious, as he couldn't afford treatment.Furthermore, he wasn't sure if the ring he possessed could alleviate the pain, so he couldn't take any ris
Martial arts was not a joke!Many people had no choice but to pay any martial artists they saw to teach them, even if they didn't become experts. Most people were content with being able to protect themselves.Even bouncers were no match for expert martial artists because they trained in different ways. Moreover, they were very rare. In a city of millions of people, you could hardly find ten skilled martial artists.Some people were not even able to endure their training, so they withdrew, while some could endure their training but lacked talent and affinity.Those who became skilled in martial arts trained and endured for countless years. They did not become powerful in just one day like Ivan.Martial arts requires determination, years of experience, combat skills, and many other requirements. This is why most people give up. They cannot dedicate their lives just to learn martial arts.Although martial artists were rare, there were still some rich tycoons who could hire them to prote
Ivan tidied up what was left of his outfit. He was not allowed to take any cloth with him, so he had nothing to wear and no choice but to go like this.He hoped that he would see a good person on the way who would at least lend him some clothes.With that in mind, Ivan walked briskly into the forest and activated his eyes. The moment he did, everything became clear, and he was back in the surreal world.He did not dwell on that feeling for long as he focused his attention on trying to find the way out of the bush.A smile graced his lips soon after; he had found a way out.He dashed towards the direction and couldn't help but notice how fast he had become. But he was already used to the surprises, so he just yelped lightly and raced out of the bush like a bullet. Still, his speed could not compare to that of the strange man.Ivan finally reached the entrance and was greeted with a bustling street.In this vibrant road, the hustle and bustle of city life was in full swing. Individuals

Passersby couldn't help but scoff at his
Ivan walked towards the entrance, his steps hesitant and deliberate. He couldn't help but think that if he was also chased out by the bodyguards, he would continue to wait at the entrance, maybe his parents would come out.When the man who insulted Ivan earlier saw that Ivan didn't even spare him a glance, he clenched his fists and glared at Ivan in spite."Tsk-tsk, another person who doesn't know how high Mount Tai is," the man said, deliberately making his pitch a little bit louder to attract attention.When they saw the disheveled and ragged Ivan walking towards the entrance, they all laughed in amusement."Where is this joker from? Hahaha.""Look at those faded pants, they're even torn.""Even those who are decently dressed aren't allowed in. Why would they allow someone like him to enter?""It seems he's a newcomer.""Anyways, it's also good like this. We'll be able to watch another good show. We won't come here in vain.""Look at the bodyguard's face. He looks very terrifying wh
The people outside were stunned speechless, and none of them could speak up for a long time. They were very shocked."What... what did I just see?" One person finally spoke up, and his statement brought the others back to their senses."Damn, could it be that we made a mistake and he is not some beggar?""Are you stupid or foolish? Or could it be that you are both? Didn't you see how respectful the normally strict and stoic those two bodyguards were to him? What else do you think?""So, that guy is really some secret young master, who said something about judging the book by its cover?"The person who made these statements earlier instantly turned pale and raised his hands cowardly."I... I did," he stuttered in reply, but the others did not care and started raining insults on him."You are the one who does not know Mount Tai, how can you be so stupid?""Look at how shabbily he is dressed too, and he still has the guts to abuse others.""I hate people like him, those who pretend to be
