System: "You have received a total of 106 Pretend Points. There is no doubt that you are the best at pretending."
Upon hearing the insinuation, Bruce had the urge to curse the System. However, at that time, he was still baffled.
Bruce had planned to pay his bill and leave immediately. That plan also seemed to be an act of pretence. Although he might lose money because of it, it was much better than losing Expertise Points.
Clearing his throat, Bruce looked at the manager in confusion. "Sir, I don't understand the situation. Are you sure that this is all for free?"
The manager nodded and pointed to the unlimited credit card in Bruce's hand. "Sir, you don't need to pretend ignorance anymore. Since you have the card, I guess you understand what it's for."
"Oh, that's right! How careless of me!" Bruce said wi

Bank Balance Before Deduction: $150.000Total Bills: $18.000Bank Balance After Deduction: $132.000The number of zeros in Bruce's account surprised all the teachers there. It's unsurprising because millionaires and billionaires are easy to find.However, among ordinary citizens, only a few could have 150,000 dollars in their bank accounts."Okay, done. Let's go." Bruce returned his card and saw the coupon on the counter. He took the coupon and returned it to Arthur."Perhaps you should check your belongings first before treating someone, Mr Elias." After saying that, Bruce left.Bruce didn't plan to return with Arthur since the school was only about five minutes away. He decided to walk."Miss Christine, who exactly is Bruce? Why does he have so much money in his bank account?""It's the same with his behaviour. I don't think any ordinary high school student has that kind of demeanour.""All right, everyone. I think we should go. We'll be late if we don't go to school now. I don't wa

Zara was confused when the soldiers stopped them. They were not allowed to pass, no matter what Zara said."Let them through."A voice was heard from inside the classroom. Then, the figure of Jack wearing a suit was seen walking out of the classroom.The soldiers seemed to know Jack's status and identity because they opened the way for him."Bruce, you finally got here too. I was just about to leave." Jack ran up to Bruce excitedly and patted him on the shoulder."Leaving? You're leaving today, Mr Hammer? I thought you would stay here for a few more days." Zara needed clarification.Jack waved his hand and said weakly, "I don't want to leave. There are still many things I want to discuss with Bruce. However, this is the decision of the higher-ups; I have no other choice."Jack looked sad, but Bruce could see his eyes were fiery, as if something exciting awaited him on the other side."But wow, the escort for your departure was

Mateo didn't dare to doubt Bruce. After all, Bruce was the one who had once put him in the hospital."Put me down," Mateo said.Bruce didn't say a word. He took Mateo outside the classroom and threw him on the floor."I'm sorry, but I really hate you. So, please stop showing yourself in front of me. Don't let me lose control of my hands and throw you from somewhere else next time."Everyone turned their attention to Mateo as he fell to the floor."Hey, look. Mateo got kicked out by someone," one of the students exclaimed."Wow. Who is he?""It's him! The person who hospitalised Mateo earlier!"Mateo's expression tightened as he listened to the murmurs of those around him. He stood up and looked at Bruce angrily. "Our business isn't done yet."Mateo left immediately afterwards. He feared Bruce would find trouble with him if he stayed there.Bruce patted his hand and went back into the classroom. At that moment, it

"Arthur, you need to be more careful when you play. You could hurt someone with that ball," Zara admonished."I'm sorry." Arthur narrowed his eyes at Bruce. He threw the ball at Bruce on purpose.Arthur wanted to be cool by playing basketball to attract Zara's attention. However, he didn't expect to see Zara and Bruce leaning on each other and whispering intimately.Arthur was very jealous and couldn't stand it anymore. So, Arthur acted like it was an accident when he threw the ball at Bruce. Arthur planned to humiliate Bruce in front of Zara, but he didn't expect Bruce to have such quick reflexes.Arthur did not intend to give up, even though he humiliated himself in the morning. Arthur insisted on teaching Bruce a lesson."By the way, Bruce, this is Exercise class. You should be exercising, not just sitting and watching from the side," Arthur said.Bruce grinned as he saw the hint of provocation in Arthur's eyes. Arthur intended to humilia

Arthur turned around with a confused face. He looked at the basketball that had fallen from the hoop while Bruce looked at him with a faint smile.The students outside the court exclaimed, "Oh my! He's so fast!""Steal! What an agile steal!""A quick break for a three-step lay-up followed the steal. Although the last lay-up was a bit bad, it still looked cool!"Arthur frowned and clenched his fists. He pulled up the teammate standing next to him and asked in a heavy voice, "What just happened?""Mr Elias, t-that was when you were about to pass Bruce, his body suddenly sped up. We couldn't see the specific movement, but the ball was suddenly in his hands. He then dashed and made a lay-up. He ran as fast as a 100-metre athlete!" the teammate replied in a low voice.Arthur thought to himself, "Steal? How dare an amateur make an early steal!"From the corner of his eye, Arthur saw Zara still smiling and clapping off the court. He felt a r

The crowd found the situation a little strange on the pitch. None of them realised that the match had turned into a nine-on-one.With a condescending smile, Bruce looked at the teammate who had betrayed him.Without hesitation, Bruce sprinted around the field. His opponents tried to block him, but with his Soldier profile, Bruce moved so fast that none of his opponents could catch up.On the other side, Arthur dribbled the ball across the halfway line with gusto. It was the first time the man had felt such ridiculous pride."I finally made it through the centre of the field! This is really hard!"However, as Arthur approached the ring, he heard footsteps behind him."Damn it!" Arthur instantly recognised the sound of steps. It was his nightmare!Despite not knowing how Bruce could get past the nine players he had set up, he didn't have time to think anymore.Arthur ran to the three-point line and made a three-step lay-up.

The figure jumped up to attract the attention of the spectators surrounding the pitch. That figure was none other than Bruce.As he levitated, the young man attempted a crossover dribble between his legs to transfer the basketball to his right hand. Then, he lifts the ball behind his head before slamming it into the hoop at the top of the jump.Arthur just remembered his next move. He was transfixed like a block of wood as if a tiger had attacked him moments ago. Such pressure almost suffocated him.By this time, Bruce had already landed steadily and dusted off his hands. With the Soldier profile, beating others in a basketball game is a piece of cake for him."Oh, my god. That's a really cool tomahawk dunk!""It wasn't just a regular tomahawk dunk. He even added a crossover dribble. How did he do it?""The school basketball team members look like a joke compared to him."A dunk is always the climax of a basketball competition. Noneth

Bruce was silent for a while when he saw the girl running away. The heat and pain on his cheek brought him back to his senses."Did a pretty girl just slap me? What kind of TV series is this? If I had hurt that girl, then I deserved it. But I'd never seen this girl before. But wait! Miley? That girl has placed first in every exam since Freshman Year. Yes, yes. It's her," Bruce thought, his eyes suddenly sparkling.Of course, Bruce had come in first place during the exam that month. However, Bruce didn't hold a grudge against Miley just because he had taken Miley's first place in the exam. Bruce didn't understand why Miley treated him like that. It made him feel like he had done something completely out of line.Bruce laughed at himself. "Is the Angel of Fortune not favouring me just because I'm handsome?"Just as Bruce was about to leave the place, he was puzzled by the textbook in his hand."What a hassle! I don't care if Miley slaps me and runs.

"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. There were several cars parked on the roadside by the men in black.Bruce casually found a car and threw the Masked Fox in th

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?" Bruce gritted his teeth and roared."You

"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

[Location: at the police station.]"Come on, let's go see Mr Maverick now." Bruce looked at the door of the police station."Come with me."Sarah led Bruce to the police station."Captain Johnson, why are you back?""Sarah, you're home! 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."

Bruce couldn't believe the boy had undergone so much change in less than half a month. But Bruce could still recognise Leviathan's voice."Bruce, did you return because of Mr Maverick and the others?" 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. "Infrared alarm device?""Did Mrs Sanders buy this tablet for you? How did you get an infrared alarm device?" Bruce asked in surprise."I bought the tablet while I installed the infrared alarm device and others in the welfare house. I did it when everyone was asleep at night.""Miley and Mrs Sanders don't know about it.""The whole thing cost

"Look out!" Bruce suddenly pushed Sarah away.BANG!The bullet hit the ground and left a hole."Again?" Sarah fell to the ground. 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. Bruce looked to the side and kicked the wooden door next to him."Go in and hide inside. I'll get rid of them!" Bruce pushed Sarah into the room.BANG! BANG!Ther
