Some planned displays of martial arts were performed in the club, showcasing Master Chen's disciples in impressive bouts. The crowd watched with bated breath as they executed complex moves with precision and grace.

After the second round concluded, the doors to the lounge opened, and Master Duon, the patriarch of the Kanguo Family, entered with his grandson, Addison, and a renowned martial arts expert, Sung Do.

The celebratory atmosphere clashed subtly with the tension that Mr. Mac felt. Master Duon’s presence was commanding, his aura of authority unmistakable.

He made his way to his reserved table, greeting Master Chen warmly. "Chen, it's been too long," he said, a rare smile on his stern face.

"Indeed, Duon," Master Chen replied, clasping his friend's hand firmly. "These gatherings remind me of the old days."

They shared a few moments reminiscing, the weight of years and shared experiences evident in their exchanges.

Master Chen then turned to the Springfield family members gathe

    Master Chen ordered the best drinks to be served to Master Duon and his people, and then he asked, "So, Duon, what are you proposing?"Understanding the question, Master Duon smiled. "Ah, Chen, your household is indeed blessed with remarkable women. One could say the finest in the city." His eyes glanced toward Anna, causing Mr. Mac to narrow his eyes, sensing where this might be heading.Master Chen nodded, a proud smile on his face. "Yes, Anna and Zendaya are both exceptional. They carry the Springfield name with pride and dignity."Master Duon continued, "It’s rare to see such grace and strength combined. Anna, in particular, has a certain charm and intellect that is quite rare."Mr. Mac’s unease grew as he listened to Master Duon's veiled compliments. He exchanged a worried glance with Anna, who shifted uncomfortably in her seat.Finally, Master Duon leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with a proposition."Here’s what I suggest, Chen. If I win the duel, I propose that Anna marries

    The room fell silent, everyone waiting for Master Chen’s response. He knew that whatever he decided, it would shape the future of both families and the respect they held in the martial arts community.Seeing her grandfather in a tough position, Anna felt uneasy. Gabriel, watching her keenly, sensed what she was about to do.Master Chen tried to maintain his composure. "I'm not afraid of losing, Duon."Master Duon smirked, raising the stakes. "Then what’s holding you back, Chen? Are you worried your family’s honor isn’t strong enough?"Anna stepped forward with a big smile. "My father and grandfather have always upheld our family's honor.” She took a brief pause and glanced at her grandfather. “So, I accept the challenge on behalf of my grandfather."She exchanged silent words with her father and Master Chen, who then nodded. "The duel will go on," Master Chen declared.As Anna returned to Gabriel's side, she masked her anxiety with a smile. Zendaya approached, teasing her, "Feignin

    Master Duon, eager to know if his offer was accepted, demanded, “So, what do you say about my offer to you, Chen, in reward if you win this duel?"Master Chen, knowing Gabriel's true identity, smiled smartly. "Duon, I appreciate your generous offer, but I must decline. I don't wish to accept anything that would undermine Greenovation Gardens. They are an important asset to our community and their owner is a man I hold in high regard."Master Duon’s eyes widened in surprise. "Why would you refuse such an advantageous deal, Chen? Surely there’s more to this."Master Chen gave a measured response. "Greenovation Gardens has been instrumental in many local developments. Undermining them for short-term gain would be counterproductive in the long run."Master Duon, sensing there was more to the story but unable to pinpoint what, accepted the explanation reluctantly. "Very well, Chen. I understand your point even though I don't buy it."Mr. Mac, seizing the opportunity to counter Master Duo

    Gabriel looked at her, admiring her loyalty and faith in her family. "I hope you’re right. But just in case, it might be wise to have a backup plan."Anna softened slightly, appreciating his concern despite her confidence. "Thank you for your advice, Gabriel. I will keep that in mind. But know this, the Springfield family doesn’t back down from a challenge."Staring at her with a half smile, Gabriel could only hope that Anna's faith would be enough to carry them through the impending duel. She caught him staring and nudged him, causing him to chuckle. He could see how tense she was, even though she was trying her hardest not to reveal it."What's so funny?" she asked, narrowing her eyes playfully."Nothing," he replied, still smiling. "Just thinking about how confident you are.""Well, we have to be, don’t we?" she said, her voice firm but betraying a hint of anxiety.He teased, "You know, if you really don’t want to marry Addison, you could always ask me for help."She looked confuse

    Anna sighed, her confidence wavering. "I know. But I still have to trust in my grandfather's disciples."Gabriel nodded. "Just remember, I'm here if you need me."Anna gave him a weak smile. "Thanks, Gabriel. We will see how this plays out."As the crowd buzzed with excitement and anticipation for the next round, the gravity of the situation settled heavily on the Springfield family. They knew the next moves would be critical, and they needed to step up their game to stand a chance against Sung Do's formidable prowess.Master Chen then called out his second disciple, Michael. A proud smile showed on Anna's face, which Gabriel noticed. She leaned in to give him a brief introduction."Michael's been training with my grandfather since he was a child. He's incredibly fast and his techniques are almost flawless," Anna said, her voice filled with confidence.When Michael stepped up, Addison couldn't resist teasing his stature. "Is this the best you've got, Master Chen? He doesn't look like

    Gabriel glanced at Anna and noticed her almost stumbling as her expression turned sour upon gazing at Addison. Master Duon ridiculed Master Chen. "Is this the legacy you’ve built, Chen? Disciples who can't stand up to a real challenge?"Addison loudly stated, "Now I believe I’ve won a great bride."Anna's face flushed with anger and frustration. Gabriel, sensing her turmoil, remained calm, knowing that the battle wasn't truly over yet.Anna managed to reach her grandfather, her voice trembling. "Grandfather, I really don't want to marry Addison."Master Chen comforted Anna, his tone gentle but firm. "Don't worry, Anna. I won’t agree to marry you off to him."Recalling Gabriel’s words, Anna suggested, "Why not let Gabriel fight? I believe he can win."Master Chen looked taken aback, glancing in Gabriel's direction. "Gabriel? He is our guest, Anna. What if he is defeated?"She insisted, "Sung Do will defeat me in a minute, judging by how he took down the others. But my instinct tells m

    As Gabriel prepared to face Sung Do, Anna stood by, her anxiety evident but mixed with newfound hope. The tension in the room was palpable as everyone awaited the outcome of this decisive battle.Anna then went closer to Gabriel and reluctantly whispered, "Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?"He chuckled. "Why are you fretting so much?""I just... I don’t want you to get hurt," she admitted, her concern and lingering doubt clear."Don’t worry," he assured her. "I will be fine."Gabriel turned to Mr. Mac and Master Chen, noticing the worry on their faces.Anna began giving him tips on how to weaken Sung Do. "Aim for his legs. He’s fast, but if you can—""That won't be necessary," Gabriel interrupted, smiling. "I can defeat Sung Do with just one punch."She eyed him skeptically. "You’re joking, right?""I’m serious," he repeated, making her huff in disbelief.Master Chen and Mr. Mac exchanged uneasy glances. "He's being arrogant," Master Chen muttered. "I thought he might have a

    The day of Camella’s delivery was a difficult one. The air was thick with tension, and Gabriel paced the hospital corridor, his face lined with worry. His heart pounded each time he heard footsteps approach, hoping for news. Dan stood beside him, trying his best to calm him down."She's strong, Gabriel. She'll get through this," Dan said, placing a hand on his shoulder. Zoe nodded in support. "Remember how well she did with Jessie? She can do it again."Gabriel nodded but his eyes were distant, full of concern. "I know, but this is different. The doctors said there were complications. It wasn’t like this with Jessie."Dan sighed. "Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but she’s in good hands. You have to trust that."Time dragged on, each minute feeling like an hour. Then, finally, the door to the delivery room opened, and the doctor emerged. His expression was serious, almost grave, and Gabriel's heart sank."Doctor, is she okay? Is the baby okay?" Gabriel asked, his voice almost bre

    Gabriel's return was like a sudden burst of light piercing through the darkness that had settled in the room where his body was laid before he left, making his way downstairs. His family had been sitting in silence in the living room, weighed down by a sense of gloom, each lost in their thoughts when his voice echoed softly from the doorway."I'm back," Gabriel said, his tone gentle but firm, as though those two words were enough to bring peace to the chaos that had lingered. Everyone's heads snapped up, eyes widening in disbelief. Camella was the first to react, tears spilling down her cheeks as she rushed toward him. "Gabriel! You're...you're here!" she choked out, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "Yes, I'm here," he whispered, holding her close. "I’m back, and everything is going to be alright." Soon, the others joined in, surrounding him, their faces a mix of relief, joy, and astonishment. Marie, his mother, was tearful as she cupped his face, studying him as if she couldn

    Gabriel’s eyes remained steady as he faced Thelma. Her expression was tense, eyes flickering with a mix of urgency and despair. She had tried reasoning with him, threatening him, yet he stood firm, his gaze unwavering. “Gabriel, this is the last chance you’d get. Forever,” Thelma's voice trembled, but it was clear she meant every word.Gabriel let out a slow breath. “Let it be so. Please, go save your mother. She doesn’t deserve to die at my expense.”Thelma blinked as if she hadn’t expected such calmness. Her eyes, filled with confusion, fixed on him. “The life is ebbing from you,” she said, stepping closer. “And my mother… for her to be restored, she needs the magical ring you’re putting on.” Gabriel glanced down at the ring, a simple yet powerful artifact, now glinting in the dim light. He looked back up at her, his lips curling into a sad smile. Without a word, he slowly slid the ring off his finger and held it out to her. “You can use it to save her.”Thelma was stunned. “Are y

    In the dimly lit hall of Noctura, Seraphina’s laughter echoed against the stone walls, her eyes gleaming with a sadistic delight. Gabriel stirred, groaning as he slowly regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the sight before him—Seraphina, standing there with a mocking grin, her shoulders shaking with laughter.“Why are you laughing?” he asked, his voice hoarse, barely masking his confusion. “Do I look amusing to you, lying here wrecked like this?”“Not really,” Seraphina replied, her lips curling. “Actually, I played a little trick earlier, and it seems to be working. I can hear the cries echoing all around. They’re devastated… those weak humans.”Gabriel frowned, trying to process her words. “What do you mean?”She stepped closer, her dark eyes glinting as she leaned down, speaking in a low, deliberate tone. “I gave you a claim mark,” she said, her fingers lightly brushing his arm. “It’s imprinted right there, on your skin.”Gabriel’s eyes widened as he looked

    Gabriel was thrown back into his dark, cold cell, his body bruised and battered. The guards had shown no mercy, following Queen Seraphina's orders to the letter. They took turns flogging him, their harsh laughter echoing off the stone walls. He had barely any strength left, yet he forced himself to stay conscious, unwilling to give them the satisfaction of seeing him break. After the beatings, they chained him up, suspending his arms so he couldn’t lie down. The heavy chains cut into his wrists, but he bit down hard, swallowing his pain. As if that wasn’t enough, cold water was splashed on him, drenching him, making the chill seep deep into his bones. It was all part of the queen’s relentless torment. Meanwhile, Thelma watched from the shadows, her heart aching. Her mother’s cruelty had gone too far. But she had been powerless to stop it, her powers restricted under strict orders from Seraphina. She clenched her fists, unable to bear seeing Gabriel in this condition any longer. Gath

    Thelma stood there, her gaze fixed on Gabriel, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of determination and longing. Gabriel, shackled and weary, looked up, confused. "Why are you here, Thelma?" he asked, his voice rough from exhaustion.Thelma hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Why? Do I need a reason?""Yes," Gabriel replied, his eyes narrowing. "Answer that. I'm sure your queen won't want you to be here.""Yes, my mother would be furious," Thelma admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "But I don't care. I just care about you."Gabriel's expression softened, but he was still cautious. "What?""Yes," she said, her eyes shining. "I care about you and... I want you to marry me."Gabriel's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. "Marry you?"Thelma took a step closer, her gaze unflinching. "Yes. Marry me. I can help you." He stared at her silently, trying to read her intentions, but she continued, her voice pleading. "I promise you, Gabriel, if you marry me, I can vouch t

    Zoe felt a chill run down her spine, and she struggled to find words. "I... I didn’t know," she said, barely able to process what Tamara was saying.Camella, though lost in her own world of grief, heard Tamara’s last words and turned, her eyes wide with horror. “What are you saying?” she whispered, her lips trembling. “Someone has to die... for him to wake up?”Tamara hesitated, seeing the fear in Camella's eyes. "I wish it wasn't true, but... yes. That’s how it works. It’s a cruel trade," she said softly, her own voice betraying her sadness.Camella felt the room spin for a moment, her heart pounding. She looked at Gabriel, her lips quivering as she whispered, “No... there has to be another way. There has to be.”Zoe moved closer to Tamara, her mind reeling from the revelation. “Is there really no other way?” she asked, almost pleading."I've searched, Zoe," Tamara said, shaking her head.

    Gabriel stood there, his breath heavy, the dark silhouette of the creature looming over him. It was unlike anything he had ever seen—a twisted mix of shadows and fangs, with eyes that seemed to glint even in the darkness. His heart pounded as he gripped the hilt of an available sword tighter, the sweat from his palms making it slick. He knew he had to act fast, but the creature’s movements were unpredictable, darting around him, taunting him.“Come on,” he muttered to himself, trying to steady his breathing. “Just one opening… that’s all I need.”The creature lunged, and he sidestepped, narrowly avoiding its sharp claws. The air was thick, almost suffocating, and his muscles ached from the strain of dodging and countering. He swung his sword, managing to nick the creature’s side, but it only hissed, unfazed, and retreated into the shadows. The brief moment of reprieve was shattered when he heard the snorting and stomping behind him. Turning, he saw the massive bull charging toward him

    More machines attacked, but Gabriel was relentless, his mind focused on one thing: survival. He fought with a ferocity he didn’t know he had, each blow more powerful than the last. For every machine that attacked, he countered with swift, brutal precision, his eyes glowing brighter with every strike.As he stood amidst the shattered remains of the machines, his chest heaving, he heard Seraphina’s voice echo through the realm. “Impressive, Gabriel. But this is only the beginning. You will break, and you will serve me… or you will die.”Gabriel looked around, wiping the sweat from his brow, his breath ragged but steady. “I’ll never be yours,” he shouted defiantly, his voice echoing through the dark, empty expanse of Noctura. “I will find a way out of this place, and I will destroy everything you throw at me.”Seraphina's laughter echoed, dark and mocking. “We shall see, Gabriel. We shall see.”As the darkness around him deepened, Gabriel steeled himself, knowing that this was only the b
