The fight was fierce in the dark alley. The two men who had threatened Jack with knives tried to attack him aggressively, but Jack dodged each of their attacks with incredible agility. He makes use of his martial skills, being able to see the gaps between enemy attacks and deliver precise counterpunches. However, one of the men managed to hit Jack's arm with his knife. Blood dripped out onto Jack's arm."Go!" one of the masked men exclaimed.Jack knew he wouldn't win empty-handed like this."System, exchange 1 point for a martial art," Jack said in a low voice."What? What do you say?" asked one of them. They looked at each other in confusion.[Welcome, user Jack Ashworth. Exchanging 1 point for martial arts skills has been successful.]"I said, I'm going to beat you both up," Jack said."Damn it!" they shouted.The exchange of blows and quick movements made the atmosphere even more tense. Both seem well-trained, but Jack has the upper hand with his careful mix of physical strength an
"Good! He will definitely be humiliated this time!” cried Gordon happily.“Don't get excited just yet, Gordon. You still have to do what I ask,” said Liam, who had been watching Gordon and Louis Lerroy plotting revenge on Jack Ashworth."Take it easy, Liam. Gordon will definitely give you what you want. Isn't that right, Gordon?" asked Jordan Michel, who had just been sitting beside Gordon sipping his orange juice."Of course! The woman will definitely come. If I had called her, she would have come like an obedient dog,” replied Gordon with a smile."That's great, Gordon," Liam says.Moments later, the door to the Hawthorne home opened. Gordon was indeed waiting for someone to arrive and now the woman had gone inside, escorted by the house maid. Suzzane walked in with a smile on her face because she thought Gordon was sorry he broke things off with her. She let her blonde hair down beautifully and in waves. She wore miniskirts, high heels, sleeveless shirts, and the most expensive per
"Welcome, Jack," said Louis Leroy as the host.Jack shook his hand and brought red wine as a gift.“High quality wine! Thank you, Jack," said Louis pretending to be friendly.“You are very welcome,” said Jack.Jack entered Louis Lerroy's house and immediately chatted with the guests present. The party that was held that evening was specifically for relaxing and chatting. There weren't too many guests and it was mostly men. Diana Buchanan wasn't here, just a few businesswomen present. For some reason Jack had been secretly expecting Diana to be here. There has been no word from Diana after their meeting yesterday.“So Jack, what about the business you bought from the Langhams? I heard that the profit has decreased in the last two years," said Jordan.“I'm working on it. I'm sure the profits will increase again in my hands, "Jack replied."I like your confidence, Jack," Jordan said, tapping Jack on the shoulder.However, the atmosphere at the party suddenly became tense when Gordon Hawt
Liam, who felt embarrassed and pressured by the situation, suddenly decided to speak in a firm voice "Gordon, just shut up! I'm tired of all your ridiculous acts. Let me talk to Jack."Gordon is shocked and angered by Liam's change in attitude. However, before he could utter any further words, Liam raised his hand to silence him. "Silence, Gordon. I will speak now."Gordon glares at Liam but he doesn't speak. All eyes are focused on Liam who looks even tougher and braver than before."Jack Ashworth," Liam said in a voice heard by everyone, "I apologize for all my inappropriate actions and words. I was wrong. I know that my actions have brought shame to our family. And now, I will undo all my actions that intend to harm you."Everyone in the room was shocked at Liam's words. Gordon looked at her with a face full of anger and confusion. Jordan Michel was still recording all these events and started looking curiously.Liam turns to face Gordon, who looks ready to explode. "Not only that,
“Thank you, Jack. I mean it. Without you, I don't know what those people would have done to my grandfather. My grandfather was being treated after a heart ring implant surgery, I heard suddenly he was kidnapped and luckily someone saved him. I really didn't know that it was you who saved him," Liam said sincerely.He was very ashamed because he had intended to do evil to Jack.“It's just a coincidence. Even if it wasn't your grandfather, I would still save someone from being kidnapped if I could. You can't ignore an SOS code like your grandfather did, can you?” he asked."You are great, Jack," said Louis Lerroy, who had been pretending not to be involved in all of Gordon's plans.Jack just smiled.“So, who intends to harm your grandfather?” Jack asks Liam.“The police don't have enough evidence yet, but considering that our family is well known, I'm sure it's just people trying to blackmail us. My dad and I would have spent a lot of money to save grandpa, but his condition was very we
"Sure, Dad. But, what tender are you talking about?” he asked.Rita sighed and Dylan rolled his eyes at Gordon's question. Dylan even smacked himself on the forehead. Seeing that, Gordon didn't understand why they did that at all."Jeez, honey," said Rita Hawthorne, shaking her head."You spoiled him too much!" Dylan called out to his wife.Rita could only be silent.“What? Why?” Gordon asked with vacant expression.“The open tender announced by the Lerroy company last month. They need a supplier for their latest project. You are friends with Louis Lerroy but have absolutely no idea about this tender? We are already one of the tender participants!” Dylan shouted angrily.Gordon looked down in embarrassment."You know what our family's main business is?" asked Dylan with a sharp look."Of course I know, we make all kinds of soap, from bath soap, dish soap, detergent, and much more," said Gordon with a smile, feeling that he could answer his father's question.“Lerroy opened a new hotel
"If I can tell you the truth, you look very beautiful," said Jack.Diana widened her green eyes at Jack's compliment, blushing slightly.“Thanks for the compliment, Jack,” Diana replied.Jack smiled at Diana's reaction."So we can get straight to the point now," Diana replied.“Of course, Diana. So how about the Green Diamond Village project?” he asked.Diana smiled, the blush on her face gone and replaced by a professional expression. Jack admired this intelligent woman from the first time he saw her.“Jack, I know you have personal issues with the Hawthorne family. I can help you to thwart Green Diamond Village, but you also have to do something for me in return,” Diana said as she leaned towards Jack and spoke in a low voice.Jack then leaned towards Diana as well with a smile."Tell me what you want," said Jack.Diana couldn't hide that she blushed slightly at being in front of Jack this close, so she immediately returned to her original sitting position. Diana cleared her throat
Diana's lips were soft and her lipstick was sweet. Jack enjoyed the sweet caress. Diana was the most beautiful woman in Lumina City, of course Jack wouldn't miss this opportunity. Diana was surprised, but unexpectedly, she then closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss. The photos of them kissing soon spread across social media and local news portals like a gust of wind.When Diana removed her lips from Jack's, half of the elite already knew they were dating."They have to be absolutely sure that we're dating," Jack said with a crooked smile.Diana couldn't hold back her smile, but she immediately pulled her body away. Jack could still see the blush on Diana's face. Diana should have been angry, but she was the one who started all of this. He couldn't blame Jack.Ding![Diana Buchanan 70%. Potential romance partner.]The system notification didn't surprise Jack this time. Diana Buchanan was attracted to him, that was to be expected. Maybe the woman likes a mysterious man. Either way, Jack
