With lightning-fast reflexes, he dodged the first few strikes, his body moving with a fluidity that belied his years of training. He ducked under a spinning kick, then used the momentum to launch himself into the air, executing a backflip that carried him clear over the heads of his attackers.As he landed, Andrew pivoted on his heel, his leg snapping out in a powerful roundhouse kick that caught one of the Crimson students square in the chest, sending him flying backwards. The impact was so forceful that the student crashed through a nearby wooden shed, reducing it to splinters.The remaining Crimson students paused, as they were shocked at what was going on. They had not expected such raw power and agility from this an ordinary-looking young man.Andrew didn't give them a chance to recover, launching himself into a series of attacks. He bounded from one student to the next, his limbs were barely visible as he delivered mirages of strikes at one second.One Crimson student tried to
Andrew was led into the wooden house in the middle of the dojo. Some injured students were being carried inside from the field to receive treatment.Inside, Andrew, who had contributed to their victory, sat next to Master Feng while they were served food.The inside of the wooden dojo was filled with writings about martial arts. The light was soft and gentle, reflecting off the wooden floor.The seating area featured comfortable cushions on mats, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. They were low tables with intricate carvings in the center that held simple cups, plates, and bowls.Another corner housed a small garden designed in the traditional Japanese style. It included small rocks, a peaceful water feature, and bonsai trees. Andrew and Hannah sat on the mat while the food was being served. Andrew quickly began chewing on the food that had been placed on his table, unconcerned about what was happening. Andrew eagerly dug into the steaming dumplings in front of him, savoring e
Andrew sat alone in his dimly lit living room, a half-empty bottle of wine clutched in his hand. Andrew had promised Master Alec that he would do something and he will have to do everything possible in other not to shame the Black Dragons dojo,"The Black Dragon dojo," he murmured, swirling the wine in his glass. "I have to find a way to help them, to give them the edge they need to defeat the Crimson Shadow." He took a long sip, the rich flavor doing little to quell the turmoil within him.Andrew shook his head, "But not today," he said, placing the glass on the table. "Tonight, I need to rest and clear my mind." Leaning back into the plush cushions of the couch, he closed his eyes, allowing the warmth of the flickering firelight to wash over him.The next morning, Andrew set out on his daily jog, his mind already focused on the tasks that lay ahead. As he turned the corner, he caught sight of a young woman jogging in the opposite direction. She was undeniably beautiful, her figure
Nora called her driver, and as she entered her car, she drove off immediately. She was determined to do everything possible to make Andrew hers.Meanwhile, Hannah pulled Andrew away from the chaotic scene. Andrew was still wearing his jumpsuit and canvas shoes, and his well-built physique and muscles were clearly visible. Andrew was quite curious as he walked along the pavement with Hannah. He had no clue where she was taking him.After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at a towering building that exuded luxury, appearing to be a grand hotel. Andrew, feeling slightly underdressed, hesitated at the entrance."Hannah, I think I'm not properly dressed for this place. Maybe we can come back later," Andrew suggested, attempting to loosen Hannah's grip on his arm."I told you that you're my boyfriend today, and you must act like one. And what does a gentleman do for his lady? He treats her to a nice meal. Since you can't do that, let me help you," Hannah responded, her cheeks blushing
Hearing the word "fiancée" was unbelievable for Andrew, and it made it hard for him to think clearly. Hannah had previously told him that the guy who kissed her, Daniel, was just a misunderstanding. But now, everything seemed different. It felt like Hannah was hiding something from him."I don't understand... You have a fiancée?" Andrew asked, his heartbroken, hoping to hear the truth from Hannah herself."That's a lie! I'm not his fiancée!" Hannah exclaimed angrily. She immediately stood up and slapped Daniel across the face, unable to bear it any longer."How dare you slap me! You'll pay for this!" Daniel threatened, trying to push his way in. But the security guards stopped him, refusing to let him enter."Let me in or all of you will be fired! That's an order!" Daniel shouted, his anger boiling over."What are you waiting for? Remove this troublemaker from here!" Hannah lashed out at the security guards who were supposed to do their job.The security guards were unsure of what to
Andrew hailed a cab and headed home, consumed by anger over the recent events. As he entered his house, he slammed the door shut, shutting out the world. He proceeded straight to the bar, grabbing a drink and pouring himself a glass of wine, which he swiftly downed in a single gulp.Lost in his thoughts, Andrew replayed the events that had just unfolded, muttering to himself, "Why do I keep falling for her? I promised myself I wouldn't develop feelings for her again, yet here I am, foolishly falling once more." He heavily tapped his head with his right hand, a gesture of frustration.However, as he recollected Hannah's final words, doubt began to creep into Andrew's mind. "But it seemed like she still has feelings for me... No, what am I thinking? I believe it's all an act... She's only interested in me for my wealth," Andrew reasoned to himself, attempting to console his wounded heart by pouring another glass of wine and taking a sip.***********Hannah rushed home, with countless q
It was Saturday morning, and Andrew had no classes scheduled for the day. He planned to dedicate his time entirely to his business. Despite having consumed a substantial amount of alcohol the previous night, he decided to leave the matter behind and not dwell on the past. Today, he was at the office, engaging in his usual work routine. He knew that avoiding Hannah completely would be impossible since she was the managing director."I won't say a word to her if I see her... Okay... How should I handle this? I'll go like this... hmm... Take a deep breath," Andrew contemplated different scenarios in his mind, attempting to devise the best approach for when he inevitably encountered Hannah.Unbeknownst to Andrew, there was a knock on his door, and it was Hannah standing there. She wanted to provide an update on an ongoing project, but she felt a sense of shyness as she faced Andrew at the door."What should I say to him... Andrew... Nooo... Should I call his name first... Hmm... I should
Andrew arrived at the site as quickly as possible, only to find an ongoing renovation taking place. They were in the process of changing the structure of the mall, as they had planned to implement a complex system involving underground mining operations. The minerals would be transported to a separate mining location Andrew had acquired, which specialized in gold mining. This underground setup was designed to keep the location's secrets concealed and prevent exposure.Now, faced with a threat that could potentially jeopardize the secrecy of the operation, Andrew grew increasingly concerned.Rushing to the scene, Andrew observed that the windows of the excavator and other machinery had been shattered. It was evident that some damage had occurred. However, due to the concealed interior of the main mining area, outsiders would remain unaware of what was truly happening. This was crucial for Andrew to safeguard the secrets he desperately wanted to keep hidden from the world."What happe
