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

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.

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 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.

    “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.

    "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.

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.

    "Email from Mr Buchanan's secretary?" he asked."Correct. You can see it in your email inbox. A special invitation for tea," Ashley answered with a cold expression."Okay, thanks, Ashley."Jack flashed a smile to break the tension with Ashley, but things remained tense. Ashley did smile back, but Jack knew it was only a professional smile. After returning Jack's smile, Ashley immediately went back to work as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, Jack's cell phone rang. Jack immediately looked at his cell phone screen and was surprised that it was from Diana."Hello, Diana," Jack said pleasantly.Jack had a look at Ashley and it felt like Ashley's face was getting colder.

    The Help

    Jack's situation was dire. He lay on the cold floor, pain radiating through his body, Ashley's bloodied form just out of reach. His vision blurred and darkened at the edges, but he wasn't ready to give up. He knew he had one last trick up his sleeve.With a barely noticeable movement, he activated the communication implant Jill had embedded in his arm. It was a last-resort device, meant for emergencies only. Jack whispered urgently, his voice barely a breath, "Jill, now!"Even though it looked like he was talking to himself, he knew Jill was listening.

    Patrick, sensing a slight tremor of control slipping from his grasp, attempted to regain his dominance with a sneer. "You think you're clever, don't you, Jack?" he jeered, his voice echoing off the cold, stone walls of the lair. "But you're just bluffing. We both know what happened the last time you tried to fight alone. You lost, and you lost badly. Look around you. My men guard every corner of this place with the highest vigilance. There's no help coming from Jill or anyone else. You think you can fool me? I anticipated your move, and I've made sure it won't happen."Jack's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he fixed Patrick with a steely glare. "You talk too much, Patrick," he retorted, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. His confidence was unwavering, a stark contrast to the villain's bluster.Without another word, Jack launched himself into action with a burst of explosive energy. His movements were a blur, honed by years of training and battle-hardened experience. He b

    As Jack's cries of anguish reverberated through the glass chamber, something within him snapped. A surge of adrenaline and sheer willpower coursed through his veins. His eyes, still wet with tears, hardened with a new determination. He strained against the metal restraints with every ounce of strength he possessed, the cords of his muscles standing out in stark relief against his skin.The glass walls seemed to close in on him, but Jack refused to accept defeat. With a roar of pure rage, he wrenched his arm free from one of the metal bindings, the steel groaning under the force of his fury. The other restraints seemed to tighten in response, but Jack was beyond pain now. He tore at the remaining bonds, his breath coming in ragged gasps.The guards outside the chamber stared in shock, their initial disbelief giving way to alarm. The sight of Jack breaking free sent a wave of panic through them."What's happening?" one of the guards shouted, his voice tinged with fear.Patrick's smug ex

    Jack watched intently as the guards began to unfasten the restraints binding Ashley to the chair. Every movement seemed to drag in slow motion, his heart hammering in his chest. Despite her weakened state, Ashley managed to shake her head weakly, her voice a mere whisper, carrying the weight of her desperation. "No, Jack," she pleaded, her eyes wide and glistening with tears. "Please, just go. Leave me."Jack’s determination was unshakeable. He shook his head firmly, his jaw set in a hard line. "Ashley, you have to go now," he insisted, his voice steady and resolute, cutting through the tense atmosphere like a blade. He knew there was no other option if she were to have any chance at freedom.Ashley remained in the iron grip of the guards, her strength all but spent. Her eyes, though filled with despair, still bore into Jack’s with a silent plea, a plea he could not heed. She understood the depth of his resolve but felt the crushing weight of helplessness.

    As Jack was escorted further into the heart of The Golden Apple's new stronghold, the dimly lit corridors seemed to close in around him, suffocating him with their oppressive atmosphere. The guards flanked him on either side, their eyes boring into him with a mixture of suspicion and contempt.Patrick stood at the end of the hallway, his presence commanding and his demeanor oozing with arrogance. His arms were crossed over his chest, and a smug smirk played at the corners of his lips as Jack was brought before him."Well, well, if it isn't our obedient little errand boy," Patrick sneered, his voice laced with disdain as he regarded Jack. "Coming here unarmed, all for the sake of the traitor who betrayed you. How noble of you, Jack."Jack's fists clenched at his sides, his nails digging into his palms as he struggled to contain his rising anger. He knew Patrick was trying to provoke him, but he refused to take the bait. Instead, he focused on the urgency of the situation at hand."Wher

    A Bait

    Jack's heart skipped a beat as his phone vibrated, signaling an incoming message. With a sense of urgency, he glanced at the screen, his eyes widening in shock at the sight before him. It was a video, sent from an unknown number, and as Jack tapped to play it, his blood ran cold.The video opened to a chilling scene. A dimly lit room filled the screen, casting long shadows that danced across the walls. In the center of the frame sat a wooden chair, its surface worn and weathered, and bound to it was Ashley. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and defiance.“Ashley?” Jack breathed, his voice barely a whisper as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation.“What? What happened?” Jill's voice crackled with concern, her eyes widening as she leaned in closer to see the screen of Jack's phone.For a moment, Jack's mind reeled in disbelief.

    The soft hum of machinery filled the air as Jack slowly emerged from his slumber, the gentle rhythm of Jill's movements resonating in the laboratory. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he turned his gaze towards Jill, who was already engrossed in her work, her movements fluid and purposeful."Rise and shine, sleepyhead. It's time for you to join the land of the living," Jill greeted him with a playful smirk, her eyes sparkling with determination. "I need your help with some brainstorming."Jack yawned and stretched, feeling the weight of the impending tasks settling upon him like a heavy cloak. "What's the plan?" he asked, his voice still tinged with drowsiness as he sat up and gave Jill his full attention.Jill's eyes gleamed with determination as she launched into an explanation of the necessity for a tracker device that could evade detection by their adversaries. "Jack, we need a failsafe in case things go south. We can't risk you getting caught or lost in the chaos," she began,
