Paula nodded. "I understand. I'll refer to you as my schoolmate."
"Good. I'll leave if there's nothing else." Bruce was relieved and prepared to leave. However, Paula stopped him.
"Wait. Um. Bruce, don't you need to return the favour to me for keeping your secret?" Bruce saw the girl's devilishly sly gaze.
"Shit! Beautiful people, indeed, have no brains! Paula is even blackmailing me right now!" Bruce thought to himself.
"All right, I'll treat you to a meal sometime." Bruce laughed.
Paula shook her head.
"Then, I'll take you to the amusement park in Carthage," Bruce offered.
Paula shook her head again. Bruce needed clarification. "Then, what do you want?"
Paula thought momentarily and replied, "I want you to promise me one condition. No, there are three conditions."
"Wait, you said one!"
"Really? I'm not sure. An

"Savings? Don't be crazy, Mrs Augustine!" Other teachers warned the woman."Crazy? It would be wild if I didn't utilise this opportunity to make money!" Mrs Augustine rolled her eyes at the teachers around her.Then, the woman looked at Zara with a smile. "Thank you! By the way, Bruce should attend our meeting tonight!"Of course, Mrs Augustine realised that Zara and Bruce had written the paper's information.Previously, Mrs Augustine might have been sceptical about the young man. However, at this time, Mrs Augustine did not doubt Bruce. Bruce could have told her that the financial crisis would happen the next day, and she would have believed him.After that, Mrs Augustine started calling. Judging from her words, the woman asked her husband to take all their savings.Other teachers began to look at the stock names listed on the paper with interest.Meanwhile, Bruce was lost in thought as he walked along the corridor.

Later, Bruce began to understand Henley's story.Just as Henley thought it was over for him and Sasha and that they should live the rest of their lives separately, traitors appeared among his subordinates. They invited Henley to a private room in a hotel and planned to kill him secretly.Although Henley was a good fighter back then, he could not defeat many opponents by himself. Moreover, Henley's opponents were more than ready to kill him.When Henley was in a difficult situation, unexpectedly, Sasha appeared out of nowhere.Sasha fought them off with a knife and was unafraid to face the thugs. Although usually shy, the woman showed her ferocious side at that time. Even the punks were afraid of Sasha. After the fight, Sasha carried Henley on her back and fled the place.They went to safety after escaping from the thugs. Meanwhile, Henley looked guiltily at Sasha; he saw that the girl was badly injured and had many stab wounds. Sasha's blood was sp

"Phoenix? No, I've already taken over most of his territory in Carthage. As for some of that man's previous subordinates, they all disappeared. There has been no news of Waylen's Guards for quite some time now. It's as if they disappeared." Henley shook his head.As long as Phoenix was alive, Bruce felt insecure. Phoenix was different from the others. When Bruce first saw his eyes, he knew that Phoenix was vengeful. Either it would be Bruce's death or his opponents provoking him. It was possible that he would ambush someone at the most unexpected moment."However, recently, the House of Kovacic has been quite active. It is said that they will soon cooperate with the Milenia Group, and there is a great opportunity for them to become the third-largest company in Carthage. In addition, they have also been close to the Waylen family recently. And coincidentally, the Millennium Group is the business rival of the House of Jasmine."News travelled quickly to Henley, so

"An unknown energy source?" Bruce wondered.Bruce furrowed his brows as he looked at the gem before him. Since this was the first time the system showed such a message, Bruce felt that there was something complex in it.At first glance, the gem appears similar to other ruby Mirah stones, but it may be more complex than it seems.Bruce feigned curiosity as he looked at Henley and asked, "Mr Maverick, what is this gem?""This gem is something I have prepared as a gift for you," Henley replied as he pushed the brocade box containing the ruby gemstone towards Bruce."I don't think this is an ordinary gem. Can I touch it?" Bruce asked.The system instructions said touch analysis, which meant Bruce had to touch the object to get the analysis."Lord Waylen, this jewel is now yours. You are free to do with it as you wish. While you admire the jewel, I will explain how I came to acquire it," Henley replied with a smile.Hearing that, Br

COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!The car came to a stop, clearly visible in the indentation on the front of the car. Blood gushed out of the man's mouth."Oh no, no, no. My favourite car! You bastard! If you don't pay me at least 15,000 dollars, I won't let you off the hook, you bastard." Someone else exited the car, rushed towards the man, and punched him.Of course, that person was Bruce. Bruce had deliberately lured the man to a dark suburb without street lights. Then Bruce drove his car to the side of the road and waited behind the bushes.When Bruce saw that the man had stopped there, he unknowingly shouted out the words that are trending on the internet these days. Instead of showing up on foot, Bruce showed up in a car.Bruce didn't expect that the man's body was really tough. The man was tough enough to use his strength to stop Bruce's car.Since there was blood on the corner of the man's mouth, it seemed he had internal injuries. Bruce immediat

When Bruce arrived back in town, his mobile rang. Bruce was a little surprised to see Paula calling him.Bruce reluctantly answered the call and said, "Hello?As the call connected, Bruce heard a loud voice coming from the other side of the phone. It sounded like Paula was at a bar."I'm at Bar Firdaus right now, Bruce. Hurry up and come here. ""Paula was really at the bar," Bruce thought, furrowing his brows.Paula was a high school student but was still at the bar when it was almost ten o'clock at night."Why are you still at the bar right now? Do your parents know about this?""You talk too much, Bruce. Just come to my place. There are many beautiful women here. Don't worry; I won't tell Sarah." Paula's voice sounded unclear, like she was mumbling. Most likely, Paula must be drunk.Bruce replied in a low voice, "No, I don't like going to bars; you'd better go back home soon." Then, Bruce hung up the phone.A moment l

"Hahaha!" Daniel laughed while holding his stomach.Daniel continued to laugh as he pointed at Bruce and looked at his friends. "Did you all hear what this man just said? This guy wants to challenge all of us alone! Not only that, this guy let us choose the game!"Little Cannon walked out and shook his head at Bruce before he chuckled. "Don't think you're great just because you play Chicken Menu, you son of a bitch. I'm not afraid to tell you that I came second in the state competition for the position of King of Spankings!""Second place? I thought you were more than second place considering how much you boast about yourself," Bruce taunted.Little Cannon was annoyed. Although the man was quite proud of being the runner-up, everyone must have only paid attention to the winner. That's why he hated it when people acted like he wasn't good enough just for not being the grand champion."Let's see if you can still be that arrogant later! I'll start fir

Little Cannon gritted his teeth as he glared at Bruce, who looked back at him mockingly."Take this match seriously, you hear, Little Cannon? If you lose, terrible things await you when we return to school." Daniel glared at Little Cannon with a serious expression.Little Cannon gulped and continued his fight with Bruce.A few minutes later, Paula stood behind Bruce in shock. Paula looked at Bruce in disbelief. "You know how to play King Punch?""Now I know." Bruce smiled, squeezed his fingers, and looked at Little Cannon, whose face turned pale. Daniel's expression became darker."I won three rounds. I guess that's your cue for a drink." Bruce pointed at the Sloki Bom in the centre of the table.Daniel grabbed Little Cannon's collar and roared, "Didn't you say you were very good at the King of Spanks game? How could you lose three rounds in a row? Not only that, you can't even beat a single Bruce character! You useless scum!"Everyon

"You said your evidence was stored in a shopping mall in the centre of Carthage?" Bruce looked at the Masked Fox suspiciously.The woman nodded. "Yes. How can I take those things with me? Of course, I'll find a place to hide them."Bruce thought for a moment."Bruce, I think this woman might be lying to you," Derek said cautiously.Bruce looked at the Masked Fox again."Believe it or not, but I value my life very highly," the woman responded with a shrug."Sarah, wait here. You can call the police and have them come. I'll go with him to get the evidence." Bruce made a decision.The Masked Fox smiled and looked at Bruce. "Young man, aren't you afraid I will attack you if you go alone?""Before you attack, my sword will split your veins," Bruce replied coldly.Bruce pushed the Masked Fox out.

Roy continued to crawl on the ground. Roy did not have the courage of Dextor, who could kill everyone, including himself, and all he wanted to do right now was live.SLASH!Roy screamed in pain. There were four Soul Swords embedded in his thigh."Release me. Please let me go. Bruce, we are still family, after all." Roy prayed while crawling.Bruce moved his finger slightly, and four more Soul Swords pierced Roy's back."Family? Now you know that we're family? I haven't forgotten how you, the family, treated us, mother and daughter."A murderous aura and a cold feeling, at this moment, everything appeared in Bruce's mind. Four more Soul Swords were stuck on Roy's back."Ah, Bruce. I am guilty. I know I'm guilty; I'm just a dog from the Waylen family. That, those things are not what I want to do." Roy cried and shouted; he was scared.SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!Roy's arm was in pain as four Soul Swords were stabbed into h

"At that time, you already knew that person was a fraud. Why didn't you expose that woman at that time?" Sarah asked in confusion.Bruce shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, I'm not sure if that woman is an imposter, and if she really is an imposter, and I expose her directly, won't you be in danger?"Bruce walked towards Roy."And I really couldn't find any clues at the time. I'm not sure who was trying to hurt Mr Maverick.""So, instead of looking around like a blind cat, I co-operated. After saving Sarah, I created a fake death scene."Bruce took out the Supreme Gold Card from Roy's pocket."Some things that are not yours will never be yours!" Bruce said indifferently."Son of a bitch!" Roy gritted his teeth, and his hand pulled a gun from his waist.Bruce's fingers moved slightly, and a cold light flashed.A hand holding a gun landed on the ground, and blood splattered all over the floor."Ah... my hand."

In a villa on the city's outskirts, the morning light shines on the villa's roof."This is the first time I've felt so happy waking up in the morning, and with a glass of wine too. What a nice life." A young man in a nightgown holds a glass of red wine in his hand."Don't get too cocky, Lad. Everything is set. From now on, there is no more Mr. Maverick or Bruce in Carthage.""Everything in the underground world of Carthage is yours."Several figures walked out from behind. "But don't forget who gave you all this. Dextor, Mr Shelton."Roy narrowed his eyes and looked at Dextor in front of him. A smile appeared at the corner of Dextor's mouth as he raised the glass before Roy."Of course I understand. Without the Waylen family, I wouldn't have been able to take down my godfather.""It's all thanks to the Waylen family and Mr. Waylen," Dextor said in a flattering tone,"Feel free to let me know if you need anything!

Bruce was surprised to see Sarah with a wicked smile on her face."Cough! Why? You..." Bruce vomited another mouthful of blood and instantly fell to the ground.In disgust, Sarah threw away the bloody dagger in her hand and walked to Roy's side while swaying her hips."Mission accomplished. That dagger I used was poisoned, so she can't show her skills now, no matter how strong they are.""You'll be poisoned to death in half an hour." Sarah smiled wickedly.Bruce looked at Sarah and said angrily, "You're not Sarah! Who the hell are you?""Ranked third in the Apol Slayer Ranking, Masked Fox.""Sarah" licked her lips and grabbed the back of her neck.A crack appeared in Sarah's skin. Then, Sarah's scalp and hair were removed. The real face under the mask was revealed. The person had short hair, a sharp nose, fair skin, and sly eyes."How, how did this happen? Where is Sarah?"

"This is indeed too coincidental; could it be that someone..." Sarah muttered. Bruce raised his head and looked at the rehabilitation centre behind him."This is not possible. It must have been planned.""Someone got rid of all these people before we could get any information and left us with no leads!" Bruce clenched his fist.Now, all the clues that might have existed were gone. Even if Bruce believed in Mr Maverick, it was useless that he had no evidence to prove that Mr Maverick was not a drug dealer. The court needed evidence!"Then what should we do now?" asked Sarah. Bruce said nothing."Well... we haven't eaten since this morning. How about... let's eat something?" Sarah whispered.Bruce raised his head and walked while pushing his motorbike."Hey, where are you going?""Eat.""Who do you think is behind this? Everything is well planned; the person behind all this is not someone to be underestimated.""And I know Mr Maverick's influence very well. " While eating, Bruce frowned

I heard that something happened to the Sea Queen that you travelled on Yakut during a business trip!""Captain Johnson!" Everyone in the police station was surprised by Sarah's arrival.The two went to the innermost room of the police station where the prisoner was."Why is Mr Maverick still locked up at the police station?" asked Bruce.Bruce says the inmate must be transferred to prison after the first hearing."I heard that because Mr Maverick hasn't explained much, and the police still want to know how many drug dealers there are in Carthage, so he's locked up here for now."As Sarah explained, a gate blocked her way."Captain Johnson."

Leviathan walked up to Bruce.Bruce looked around. "Why did you wake up so early? Did you not sleep well?""I woke up when you opened the door, Bruce. I have installed infrared alarm devices on the walls and all the gates of the welfare house. Once someone enters the welfare house, I will be alerted by the tablet."Leviathan took out a small tablet, which showed the display of some software.

Fortunately, Sarah quickly held her hands to the ground to balance herself. Otherwise, Sarah would have been injured.Saran wondered why people in Carthage could get guns so easily. Sarah had already experienced several gunshots in a day.BANG! BANG!There were two more shots. Despite the silencer, Bruce could still hear the gunshots faintly.Two Soul Swords appeared in Bruce's hands; then he parried the two incoming bullets—the impact produced sparks."There is one right in front, 1 o'clock direction.""One more at seven o'clock."Bruce confirmed the shooter's location through the bullet trajectory.
