Andrew maintained his composure as he faced the accusatory glares from Daniel's father, Mr. Ellison, and Professor Liam. He knew he had to tread carefully, but he was determined to expose the truth. "Professor, I'm afraid there has been a grave misunderstanding here," Andrew began, " You're making a rather serious accusation against me, and I feel it's only fair that I have the opportunity to address it." Mr. Ellison scoffed, as he was extremely angry. "Don't play games with us, boy. We have witnesses who saw you physically assault my son. You think you can just walk in here and get away with it?"m Andrew raised a hand, trying to ask for a spotlight. "I believe I can shed some light on the situation." Professor Liam cleared his throat, . "Do you expect us to listen to your opinion?" Andrew leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on Mr. Ellison. "You see, the so-called 'altercation' that happened, I regret why I didn't beat up your son properly. If I did so, I guess that he wou
Arriving at the Crimson dojo, Andrew was already prepared as he carried a briefcase with him that he wanted to use to train the students. He wanted to use it for teaching the students. On getting into the dojo, he caught sight of various students who were training, and he was especially surprised to see a particular person among the white and black individuals who were training diligently. Among them, he saw Hannah, who was trying to copy their moves as she hesitated before each of their actions before she tried to replicate their moves. He was surprised to see Hannah, and he said to himself, "What is she doing here?" He tried to think of the best possible explanation for her being there, but he couldn't find any. Hannah, who was engrossed in what she was doing, didn't notice his appearance as he entered. Andrew didn't bother to announce his presence as he watched her, as she was behaving childishly as she tried to replicate the movements of the other students. "Kiai!" They all sh
The men Andrew brought successfully installed the simulation equipment he needed to teach the students the techniques. With Master Alec's permission, the dojo had been neatly arranged, ready for the demonstration. If someone were to peek inside from the entrance, they’d see nothing but a seemingly ordinary, empty room. Master Alec and the students stood at the edge of the room, their faces full of curiosity and confusion, wondering what Andrew had installed that warranted such preparation. Andrew smiled confidently, stepping into the room. As his foot landed on the floor, a holographic interface lit up beneath him. A mechanical voice resonated through the room: [Training Simulation Activated] [Basic Level One Technique Initiated] The room’s bright lighting dimmed into an almost twilight hue. A hologram materialized, replicating Andrew’s figure. The hologram moved slowly, performing a set of precise movements akin to Tai Chi, each motion fluid yet powerful. Andrew mirrored the ho
Hannah and Clara stepped into the sparring area. Clara stretched her arms, as she felt confident as she eyed Hannah. Meanwhile, Hannah was nervous her hands trembled slightly, but she clenched her fists, trying to steady herself. Master Alec stood by the sidelines, watching with a neutral expression. Andrew remained calm, his arms were crossed, with a faint smile tugging at his lips. “You’ve got this, Hannah,” Andrew said, trying to motivate her. The sparring match began. Clara charged forward, she had had an aggressive speed. Her strikes were straightforward, aimed to overwhelm Hannah. At first, Hannah struggled to keep up, using basic blocks and counters to defend herself. Meanwhile, Clara landed a solid hit on Hannah’s shoulder, making her stagger back. “Come on, Hannah!” Clara taunted. “Is this all you’ve got?” Hannah gritted her teeth. Hannah steadied her stance, recalling the movements from the simulation. As Clara lunged again, Hannah sidestepped and countered with a sweepi
"Sir, I didn't know he was the boss. Please forgive me; I promise I won't do this again," Jessica knelt down, holding Sean's leg as she apologized. The guards standing nearby were relieved they hadn't interfered; otherwise, they would have faced the same fate. "You still don't know who the boss is? I think you have brain damage." Sean removed his leg, staring at her. Jessica realized she was still belittling Andrew. She immediately turned to him and said, "I'm sorry, please, boss, don't fire me. I'll do anything; I can even warm your bed." Jessica was ready to give up her body and wasn't afraid to use that word in public. On hearing that, Hannah felt angered. Andrew, blushed and was shocked to hear that from her as she clung to his legs. Andrew was irritated as he squat down to speak to her, "So you want to tell me this is what you've been doing here? Using your body to gain favor from various people? To the extent that you even allow fake guests?" Andrew winked, indirectly statin
Andrew had finally arrived, parked in front of Hannah's house. He stepped out of the car and opened the door for her, wanting to be a gentleman. She had indeed had a wonderful day and felt a bit happy. "So, I hope your night was fun," Andrew smiled as he held her hands and bowed with one hand at his back. She held his hands but pretended she didn't enjoy the moment they shared. "Nope," she said, pushing away his hands as she exited the car. "Dates are meant to be personal, not public, and all the attention should be on just each other," Hannah indirectly referred to Andrew. Andrew licked his lips as she passed by him. This was exactly what Andrew had been trying to hear from her, and indirectly, it worked as he had planned. Hannah swung her handbag as she leaped forward, approaching her house. "Don't think that I would be carrying those things; if you want to be a gentleman, you have to do it properly," Hannah said without bothering to look back. Andrew smiled, knowing Han
Andrew was surprised; he couldn't believe his eyes. He never expected that Clara was part of their rival dojo, especially since he had already thought he had taught her almost everything about his new technique. "You bastard! We trusted you!" Hannah, who was there, was very angry. She clenched her fists, wanting to rush over to where Clara was and punch her in the face. Meanwhile, Clara acted as if nothing was happening. She smiled back at Hannah and Andrew while keeping her hands up, trying to signal Andrew to hold her back. He didn’t want Hannah to cause trouble that might get them disqualified. "It seems the Black Dragon dojo is really furious to see the Crimson members," the commentator said, staring at Clara from where he was positioned. "Oh! Now I get what's going on. The information reaching me tells me that Clara was previously in the Black Dragon dojo but is now in the Crimson dojo as their lead fighter." The commentator was surprised at the level of betrayal being shown t
The crowd roared as the second round commenced, and both fighters took their stances. Clara stood confidently, her smirk unshaken. Hannah, now more composed, took a deep breath, wiping sweat off her brow. "Ready to lose again, darling?" Clara teased, throwing a mocking kiss in Hannah’s direction. Hannah didn’t respond. She focused on her footwork, circling Clara cautiously. Hannah feigned a right hook, but Clara saw through it, shifting to the side and throwing a spinning back kick aimed at Hannah’s midsection. Hannah blocked it just in time with her forearm and countered with a quick jab to Clara’s shoulder, forcing her to retreat. "Good reflexes this time," Andrew muttered, nodding approvingly as he crossed his arms, leaning slightly on the edge of the ring. "She’s adjusting," Master Feng observed, stroking his beard. "If she can keep this up, she might just edge Clara out." Clara, growing tired of Hannah’s defensive tactics, lunged forward with a series of punches. One jab sli
Andrew was dressed in a expensive suit as he stood with Hannah by his side. Hannah looked as stunning as ever, her slender figure accentuated by in a dark blue gown. The two exchanged a warm glance, their lively expressions reflecting the pleasant memories of the splendid evening they had shared the night before.Andrew stood near the side of the podium, positioned in the background where presenters typically made their entrances.From his vantage point, he could see the venue was filled to capacity. To his astonishment, every attendee was of considerable influence—representatives of powerful business empires. The gathering had created quite an uproar in town, drawing significant attention.Paparazzi and journalists had swarmed the location earlier, but Andrew had taken precautions to ensure the exclusivity of the event.He had included specific instructions in the invitations requiring all attendees to wear masks. This measure was implemented not only to preserve anonymity but also
Zoro exchanged glances between his girlfriend and Andrew, noticing the intensity in Andrew’s eyes. It was clear that Andrew wasn’t joking.Zoro had never been in a situation like this before, and the atmosphere alone told him that Andrew was someone to be feared."Do you even know who I am right now?" Andrew asked, his voice cold and commanding as he noticed Zoro’s hesitation."You should know," Andrew continued, leaning forward, "I’m not just Andrew—I’m also the underground boss of the Crimson Gang. You’d better think twice before messing with me."As if to punctuate his words, Andrew stood up and stomped hard on Zoro’s foot, causing him to wince in pain."I knew it," Andrew said, smirking as he observed Zoro’s face. "You’re useless to me. But now I also know the truth."Andrew had a talent for reading people, and Zoro’s reaction confirmed his suspicions. Without hesitation, Andrew twisted Zoro’s wrist sharply, causing a loud crack."Aahhh!" Zoro screamed, his face contorted in agony
Zoro observed the precision in Hannah's attacks; they were the moves of a professional fighter. No one had told him that Hannah knew martial arts. While it might have been true in the past, she certainly wasn’t known as a championship holder.Zoro hadn’t anticipated the fight would be this difficult. If he had known, he would have charged double for the job.He briefly considered taking the money and walking away, but his reputation meant everything to him. Backing out of the fight with Andrew would be a devastating blow to his pride, something he couldn’t afford to let happen.“We’ve wasted enough time talking! To hell with this—it's getting boring,” Andrew said sharply, a hint of a smirk on his face. “I’ll take care of you, and my girlfriend can handle yours. Then we’ll be good to go.”Without giving Zoro a chance to calculate his next move, Andrew sprang into action, rushing forward with blistering speed.Andrew darted forward with blinding speed, his fist aiming straight for Zoro'
Andrew had just finished setting up the auction house and was leaving with Hannah, who had been working alongside him all day. It was already 11 p.m., a testament to how hard they had both worked, despite Andrew being the boss.“Hannah, thanks for your help,” Andrew said with a warm smile. She had been incredibly supportive, and despite the argument they’d had earlier, they managed to keep their personal issues separate from their work. After all, she was not only his girlfriend but also his manager.“You don’t have to thank me. Are you forgetting I’m your employee?” Hannah replied with a smile, casually glancing at him as they walked together.“Why wouldn’t I appreciate my girlfriend?” Andrew teased.Hearing that, Hannah’s heart swelled with happiness, and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. Before she could respond, the sound of a gunshot tore through the air.“Hannah, watch out!” Andrew shouted, his instincts kicking in as he grabbed her by the waist. He dove to the ground, rolling
One Week Later"I never expected your son-in-law to be this capable. I don’t think any young man his age could rival him," said a man in his fifties, holding a glass of wine. He took a sip as he turned to Mr. Telsa, Hannah’s father. They were enjoying drinks along with a few other friends."Hahaha! You flatter me, Henry. The boy is truly remarkable. Did I tell you he once helped a friend of mine win a major tournament? He also trained my daughter, who had no martial arts experience, turning her from a complete novice into a professional fighter capable of rivaling seasoned competitors. He’s someone who can’t be rivaled," Mr. Telsa said, proudly boasting about Andrew, Hannah’s boyfriend."You’ll surely be a proud grandfather soon," Martins, another man at the table, chimed in as he raised his glass. "I hope you can introduce me to one of Andrew’s friends. Even someone with half of his capability would be a blessing!" Martins was subtly trying to gain favor with Mr. Telsa."I’ll see wha
Andrew had just finished watching the scientists demonstrate their latest creation when they approached him for his opinion."Sir, do they fit your expectations?" one of the doctors asked."Yes, they’re perfectly fine. We’ll begin the auction next week," Andrew said, smiling confidently. "Keep refining them, and I’d like you to reach out to potential high-profile buyers."Andrew shook hands with the doctors, commending them for their hard work."Now, the advertisements for the discounts will naturally draw a large crowd to the mall. I’ll use that as the perfect platform to set the stage for the auction," Andrew thought to himself.As he stepped out of the laboratory, he was greeted by the sight of a massive crowd standing in line outside the mall. The reason? Andrew had slashed the prices of every item by 80%, effectively making them as affordable as giving them away for free. Unsurprisingly, the incredible discounts had attracted hordes of people."The first phase of the plan is work
"Are you really the boss of Urban Oasis?" Nathan asked, with disbelief. He wanted to hear the truth directly from Andrew."Of course I am, and I don’t recall being friends with a pauper like you," Andrew replied with a calm smile as he stared at Nathan and his girlfriend."If you’ll excuse me, I have important work to do and no time to waste. I’m a very busy man," Andrew added, turning away. Before leaving, he whispered something to Sean.Nathan, still in denial, shouted after him, "Liar! You can’t be the boss. I don’t believe it! This must be some sort of joke. And frankly, I don’t need Urban Oasis—I can get a brand ambassador deal elsewhere, at a much better place than this dump!" His arrogance was unshaken, as if he didn’t care about the consequences of his words."Honey, don’t worry about them. One day, they’ll come begging you," his girlfriend said, trying to console him.Andrew, though irritated by their arrogance, wasn’t interested in wasting his energy on someone like Nathan.
One month later…Andrew stood in front of the shopping mall, observing the bustling crowd moving in and out. The mall was a thriving business venture, bringing in significant profits, and on top of that, he was reaping the benefits of the mines he had recently acquired.Leaning against a Porsche parked near his car, Andrew’s thoughts drifted to his past. He remembered the difficult days when he and his mother could barely afford three square meals. They had worked countless night shifts just to pay the bills, yet it was never enough.Now, in just three months, his life had transformed in ways he never imagined. He had risen to heights he once thought impossible. At such a young age, he was already a billionaire, possibly the youngest in the world. His numerous businesses generated substantial income daily, and he was about to embark on a project that would eclipse them all."Sean, are the devices ready?" Andrew asked as he made a call to his trusted assistant."Yes, sir. They’ve been
Andrew stood at the site, admiring the three-story mall that now stood in stark contrast to the abandoned structure that had previously occupied the space. The transformation was extraordinary, and Andrew couldn’t help but marvel at the sleek, modern design of the new building.Sean, who had just stepped out from inside the mall, noticed Andrew’s admiring gaze and walked over to greet him."Apologies for keeping you waiting," Andrew said, bowing his head slightly, a hint of embarrassment in his tone. "You know how women can be; Hannah insisted I get a whole new set of clothes and rejected half of them before she was satisfied. It took me over an hour to finish up."Sean chuckled knowingly. "I completely understand, sir. My wife puts me through the same routine. It’s practically universal."Andrew sighed, then turned back to the building. "I have to say, you and the team did an exceptional job. I didn’t expect you to transform the place this quickly—just one month, and it looks brand n
