“WHAT ARE you waiting for?” Charles asked as he tilted his head, waiting for August to speak since it was almost a few seconds since he just stared at the wall. "If you want to say something, speak."He was opening and closing his lips like he wanted to ask for something but couldn’t find the courage to ask. Charles clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers in front of him, causing August’s gaze to go back to him. Even though he doesn’t show it, Charles was worried about his son. He could have said something that terrified him. “H-How about my underwear?” But it looked like it wasn’t the case. Charles only shook his head as he massaged the bridge of his nose to calm himself down. However, he couldn’t help but chuckle at the same time because he never thought that his son had this kind of side. His question may sound ridiculous, but for Charles, someone holding his underwear would be the most embarrassing moment of his life. “You’re shy, aren’t you?” the old man asked as he cares

August continued watching Daphne's video on repeat. He clenched his hand as he felt guilty because he was saved at someone's expense. His gaze went darker every second as he gritted his teeth, annoyed. However, at that time, August didn't know which he should be annoyed with if it was the Sandoval family who humiliated him or himself… because he couldn't even defend himself even though everyone had wronged him. And he couldn't protect the first woman in his life who tried to help him. “Let me ask you a question, August." August snapped out of his thoughts when Charles spoke. He had been watching August's reaction— trying to decipher what was on his mind. "What was the reason why you accepted my offer?" Charles asked authoritatively, yet August could hear a hint of curiosity in the tone of his voice. "You were firm in your decision before. You even called me crazy for what I offered." Charles let out a chuckle and smiled as he remembered the time he commanded Maxine to bring Augus

“M-MAXINE?” August asked as he slightly stammered. His eyes widened while looking at Maxine who was wearing her nurse uniform.“Nice to meet you, young master,” Maxine answered before she bowed in front of him, smiling. “I’m glad that you still remember me.”“W-What is—” August was about to ask Charles what was happening when Charles interrupted him.“If you’re listening to what I’m saying earlier, I believe I told you that your first training was enhancing your physical strength,” Charles mumbled as he patted August lightly on his shoulder. “She’s the perfect person who can train you.”“Not bad.”August didn’t speak, but he understood where Charles’ statements were coming from. He remembered the time Maxine injected him with a yellow liquid. August stared at Maxine from head to toe, checking her but not in a bad way. Based on her looks, Maxine looked like a slightly strict woman working at a high-rise company.But she looked different back then. She had the same vibes as Sapphire, a

Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 28: It's For The Better
“Is that all? Is that what you can do?!” Maxine shouted as his pace started to get slow. He had been running for almost an hour, and he couldn’t even feel his feet anymore nor breathe properly. It also looked like he had been bathed in sweat. August believed he had enough stamina for running, but with Maxine as his trainer, it felt like all his energy had gone down the drain. “Faster!” Maxine exclaimed as she blew the whistle, making August run again in a manner where he should raise his knees higher— making everything unbearable for him. “I said faster! Knees higher!” August didn’t know he was at his limit if Maxine hadn't pushed him outside his comfort zone. He wasn’t kidding when he said he wouldn’t be surprised if he fainted on the spot. “Are you sure that this is training?! Not a way of killing me—” He wasn’t able to finish his sentence when Maxine blew the whistle again to the point that it almost destroyed his eardrum. “Ugh!” “Stop complaining. Focus on your goals, an
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 29: Attack
“WHY IS it better, master?” Maxine asked in curiosity as she placed the tumbler on the white table between them.Maxine knew that she shouldn’t ask for more. The more that she asks for more questions, the more that Charles would reach his limit— and it wouldn’t be good for his health.But Maxine couldn’t help it. She’s the only one who knew about Charles’ real situation, and even though she worked for him for a long time, she still couldn’t decipher how her master makes a strategy about everything.She just found it slightly ridiculous to let August think that he was just an ordinary employee— a fake son that Charles hired for his own greed, even though he was the one and only heir.
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 30: Favor
“Fuck!” August cursed under his breath as he immediately dodge the attack by jumping backward. He almost lost balance as his one knee hit the floor, and his other hand held onto the railing.He quickly remembered the first time Maxine tried to inject him with a syringe before. It was the same feeling now— the feeling of adrenaline rushing onto his body as he felt that his life was in danger.“Who are you?!” August asked and stood up. He clenched his fists as he stared intently at the person in front of him.That person was wearing a black suit like what ninja assassins wear every time they have an operation. He couldn’t see whether it was a man or a woman, but he could see the dagger that person was holding in its right hand, causing August to be more attentive.‘Fuck. This is my first day here and someone already wanted to kill me?!’ August couldn’t help but complain at the back of his mind. ‘I know now! This is the worst decision I’ve ever made!’“Ugh!”August groaned in pain as he
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 31: Room
MEANWHILE, as August rested on the bed with four bodyguards watching the room— two on the terrace and another two outside, the perpetrator suddenly went to a place where no one could see him.“Fuck,” he muttered as he winced when he felt how stinging the cut on his face was. “That bastard,” he added, pertaining to August.The assigned bodyguards in the Remington mansion were rotated into three shifts. One is in the early morning, the second in the afternoon, and the third in the evening. Since August was introduced to the bodyguards in the afternoon, he wasn’t able to see his face— but he knew where the fake heir’s room was. He was assigned to the evening shift so he was able to do his mission.However, he didn’t expect whom he had seen as soon as he made his attack. It was easy to recognize that he was August Fordman, the man on the famous live stream made by Bruce Sandoval and Samantha Evergreen.He shook his head and pulled the phone inside his bag as he called someone using his b
