“Aw... shit...” Shawn let out a long sigh and pressed his cheek against the table. This was the umpteenth time he had cursed like this.Alex was holding a book and looking at the contents with his glasses. He was quite surprised by Shawn's depressed behavior. “You've uttered curse words several times, Young Master. That's not something good for an old man like me to hear. In fact, you always curse after I give you an appraisal for your work.”Shawn glanced at Alex. The old man's eyes were intense on Shawn. It was as if he was drawing a line between the powerful and the powerless.Alex put the book down on the table. “You still have plenty of time to study. Or, perhaps you'd like to have some hot tea while I wait for your selective enthusiasm?”Shawn was stunned. He immediately sat up straight. Shawn did not expect to get sarcasm from this old man. However, Shawn's focus turned to the blue screen that appeared in front of his face.[Ding!][You didn't get a perfect score again.][Punis
“What's wrong?” Shawn held his head as he looked down. His head felt like something was pressing on it from behind. The more Shawn thought about it, the more Shawn felt that he was still at a dead end.Alex, even though he was a waiter, had an uncanny precision. He seemed to be able to see the smallest mistakes in the tasks Shawn was doing. Shawn had been electrocuted about 15 times out of the 15 tasks the man had given him.For Shawn, who had always lived by choice towards a low social status, it was difficult to adapt to the work of people who were wealthy. Even learning to be an heir like this became very difficult for him.Shawn felt his body begin to ache and stiffen. “Even though I tried everything I could, Alex never acknowledged that my work was good. He didn't even give me a hint.”He took a deep breath. Shawn knew that he would be able to get Alex's recognition one day. However, he needed to take a break to cool off. Thinking and studying so much under pressure like this cou
Alex took the document. What kind of report did Shawn make? Alex was also curious. Alex tried to lift the document and frowned. He felt that the document weighed more than the report Shawn had made before.Alex glanced at Shawn. “Young Master, you seem to be doing things differently this time.”With slightly tired eyes, Shawn nodded. He was indeed doing it a little differently this time. Shawn knew all too well that a different process would lead to a different result, and everything had to start from a fixed premise.Shawn realized that he was fixated on the idea that he was nothing special, the result of a lifetime of living with the poor and being used as a cash cow by them. A person in such a state would not have freedom of thought and would tend to be aimless. After meeting Darius in the park, Shawn knew that the problem was not with his job, but with his head.Now Shawn kept looking at Alex because he wanted to know if his thoughts this time with a different perspective would p
“Is this the last lap?” Shawn turned to Alex. He was bagging his horse, Shawn looked tired from the day's activities. Meanwhile, Alex didn't even look at Shawn at all when Shawn asked that. He kept looking at the tablet PC in his hand while holding his chin. On his horse, Alex seemed to nod slowly. “Can Young Master take one more turn?”Shawn furrowed his brows. “Very well. However, may I first ask why?”Alex glanced at Shawn with a small smile. “Are you not strong enough for this much?”Shawn sat back straight on his horse. He smiled slightly even though his eyes were already showing fatigue. “Of course I still can.”Alex nodded slowly. He liked Shawn's enthusiasm. “Well, this time I won't follow you from behind. There's one thing I'm curious about. It seems like your speed could be better if I don't follow you.”Shawn gasped slightly. At this point, Shawn muttered in his head. “This old man is so observant!”Since earlier, Shawn hadn't used all his riding skills. He had already don
‘Are you serious, Alex?’ Shawn had to open his eyes wide when he heard that. He turned around and walked closer to Alex. He looked into the old man's eyes. Alex's gaze was calm and relaxed as Shawn looked at him intently. Shawn didn't see any hesitation in Alex's eyes, he was serious about making Shawn fight with a professional.Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. ‘What does this mean, Alex?’Alex was quiet for a moment. Then he held his chin. ‘I have no intention of hurting you, Young Master. In fact, I need to gauge your abilities. Your physical abilities are already very good. But what about your leadership and responsibility? Is it as strong as your physique? I want to measure that with a fight with a professional.’Shawn gasped. He opened his eyes wide after hearing Alex's reasoning. It turned out that the old man in front of him had a unique way of thinking. He wanted to see Shawn's discipline and dedication through a tough fight. An athlete or not, if he knows that he will fight
"Rachel?" Rachel's mother swallowed when Rachel seemed to be silent like that. Her hand reached for Rachel's arm. She felt that Rachel's body was not as hot as before. "Shawn, what happened to Rachel? Why is she so quiet?"Verena turned to Shawn while glaring at him. While Shawn didn't reply anything just looked at Rachel and waited for something.Rico grabbed Shawn's shoulder. "What have you done to my daughter? Why isn't she reacting anymore? Did you make it worse?"Shawn looked at Rico with a furrowed brow. Shawn shouldn't have to answer questions like that. Any fool would know that a husband like Shawn would never harm his wife and child. Shawn was just doing what he had to do.Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. "I saved her."Verena then felt movement from Rachel's body. She immediately turned her head. "Oh, Rachel?"Rachel opened her eyes slowly. She could clearly see everyone who was there. The first thing she did was frown. "Mum, Dad, why are you here?"Verena immediately felt
“... 198... 199... 200!” Shawn stood back up after he did push ups. This morning he did push ups immediately after waking up. He did it in a low voice so as not to disturb Rachel. She was still asleep in bed. Shawn himself when he woke up from his sleep on the sofa he immediately remembered that he needed to take care of his physique. That's why he did 200 push-ups to warm up.When Shawn was about to get a drink, he heard his cell phone vibrate. He quickly picked it up so Rachel wouldn't wake up. It turned out to be a call from Alex.“Hello, Alex.”“Good morning, Young Master. I was going to wake you up this morning, but it looks like you woke up first. Successful and wealthy people have a habit of waking up early, I want to make sure you do the same.”At this time of the morning Alex was already applying pressure which seemed like a new task for Shawn. It's true, the richest people in the world always wake up earlier than everyone else. But does it really have to be that way for Ale
Rachel could not blink her eyes when she saw Shawn in the octagon. Shawn was currently fighting a well-built fighter there. Shawn was hit several times, but Shawn smiled and didn't respond.Alex shouted from the side of the octagon. “You have a habit of taking punches, Young Master. Try to avoid them and find an opening!”Shawn backed away while shouting back. “Easy to talk than do it, Alex!”Shawn was not unwilling to dodge and retaliate, but he was still thinking of the best way to fight an MMA athlete. The martial arts in Shawn's head have many fatal blows and some are meant to kill, such as Krav Maga and Pencak Silat. Both martial arts are used to destroy joints, injure the groin, eyes, and even punch the neck. All of those moves are definitely prohibited when doing combat sports like this.Shawn thought hard about what style he should use. “Muay Thai and Kick Boxing, can I use them now by restricting my movements?”When Shawn's opponent throws a straight punch, Shawn can dodge it
