The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Love Rivalry
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
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain What's Happening
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
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain She Has A Fiancée
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
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain The Root Cause
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
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain The Fight Continues
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
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain I'm The Boss
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
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Defeats The Cobra Gang
Sean and his men were surprised to see that Andrew didn't even care as he killed the man on the spot like nothing was going on. This showed that Andrew had a hardened mind and he wasn't one to take nonsense.The bald leader didn't know what to do as he had seen Andrew's actions. He was not sure of what exactly he wanted to do any longer. He wasn't expecting a college kid to be this strong.Andrew went straight up to him with his bloody hands and cleaned them on the bald guy's tracksuit. The young man couldn't do anything because, seeing Andrew's actions, he knew that Andrew could do more.The man had to cower in fear as Andrew had his way. Andrew raised the big chain on his chest, and the young man gulped as Andrew dragged the bald man closer."Next time, you don't come close to my property or try to damage it. If you think you're some kind of big shot, then you can try me. I'll show you that I don't use knives to cut my meat..." He then went closer to the bald man's ear and whispered
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain The Battle Has Been Drawn
Andrew considered the Cobra leader's desperate plea. "Anything, huh?" he said, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "Well, then, I have a proposition for you." The leader's eyes widened, "Anything, please, just don't hurt me!" Andrew's grip on the man's collar tightened. "First, you're going to pay back every single penny you and your goons have extorted from this mall over the years. And I mean double the amount" The leader's face fell, his hopeful expression replaced by one of dread. "B-but I don't have that kind of money! It'll take me years to pay that back!" Andrew's eyes narrowed. "That's not my problem. You're going to figure it out, one way or another." He turned to Sean, who had been watching the exchange with a mix of unease and satisfaction. "Sean, what's the total value of this entire mall operation?" Sean quickly did the calculations in his head. "Including the mining operation and all the assets, I'd estimate the total worth to be around $50 million, sir.

What Did They Do To My Baby?
They sat under high-spectrum scan light, connected through a double-isolated channel into Taylor’s offline decoding rig. Three plasma monitors flickered to life, feeding raw signal patterns into algorithmic scramblers.Taylor’s eyes narrowed as lines of corrupted metadata unraveled in bursts of red and white static.“This is deep-locked military encryption,” he muttered. “But not national. Private-sector stuff. Unregistered… compartmentalized black-tier development.”Andrew stood over his shoulder, arms crossed, jaw tight. “Keep going.”“I’m looking at this code,” Taylor muttered, “but it’s like... Some of this feels familiar. But I don’t remember decrypting it.”Andrew didn’t move.“You did,” he said.Taylor looked up.“Four days ago,” Andrew continued, eyes fixed on the screen. “You hacked into Liu’s restricted medical network. You found a file tagged Carrier 6B. You told me Hannah was already being scanned.”Taylor blinked. “I… said that?”Andrew nodded. “Then you forgot.”Taylor t
Interception
The van rolled quietly through the east industrial corridor of Shanghai, escorted by silence and low fog. Its windows were blacked out. Its GPS route was shielded by encrypted pings feeding directly into Liu Wenjie’s private surveillance channel.To everyone in the command chain, everything was proceeding exactly as it should.But Andrew had built the lie before the route even began.Two Hours Earlier...In a dimly lit garage beneath a fake shell company in Baoshan District, Taylor stood beside an identical replica of the auction van. Same model. Same make. Same tires, even matched wear on the sidewalls.Andrew stood across from him, zipping up a matte-black delivery suit that bore the same credentials as Liu’s logistics personnel.“Thermal sync patch is ready,” Taylor said, holding up a small node. “Once you’re inside the real van, press this against the core. It’ll copy the biometric read pattern in case they try to match it later.”Andrew pulled gloves tight, checked the scanner ri
Operation: Lot Forty Three
Andrew stepped out of the car without a word, coat collar turned up against the wind.The driver didn’t wait. The door shut, and the sedan rolled off without hesitation.He stood at the entrance of what looked like a derelict opera house—abandoned, forgotten, walls choked in vines. But beneath the flaking columns, two men in black suits stood with biometric scanners.He approached slowly. “Invite,” one barked in Mandarin.Andrew handed over a sealed card embossed with a gold crescent. Inside was a chip and nothing else.They scanned it. No names were exchanged.The door opened with a soft hydraulic hiss, and Andrew stepped into a new world.The auction hall was nothing like he expected.Carved deep into a retrofitted bomb shelter, the chamber resembled a museum merged with a theatre. Velvet seats, polished floors, and glass exhibits under halo lights surrounded the central podium.No one spoke loud enough to be heard.Above it all, a massive chandelier shaped like a spinal cord rotated
Experiment
Rain fell slowly, steady rain drops fell across Shanghai skyline, turning the penthouse windows into a blur of lights and water. Andrew stood frozen in the hallway, his hand still gripping the handle like it might anchor him to something steady. But nothing about him felt steady.He had seen not just her bare skin — the soft curve of her shoulder, the flash of skin above her waistband — but the shock in her eyes. The way her arm moved, instinctively covering herself. “You idiot...Damn it, she is still as sexy as ever" he whispered, pressing a palm to his forehead.He leaned against the wall, chest rising and falling faster than it should’ve."You shouldn’t have walked in. You should’ve knocked, called out—anything." He swallowed hard, running a hand down his face.“I’ve seen it all before,” he murmured, almost in defense of himself. “There’s nothing there I haven’t held. Nothing I haven’t kissed.” It was a weak excuse. But it gave him a thread to hold onto. They’d shared a past—eve
What's Going On?
Andrew jolted upright, gasping. His breath came in short, ragged bursts as he scanned the room—dim morning light filtering through gray curtains, the quiet hum of the air vents, and the soft weight of his coat folded on the chair.He was in his room. “But… how?”His eyes darted around, confused. The last thing he remembered was… the rooftop. Hannah. The conversation. And Taylor—Taylor was tracing the KAIROS list.He staggered out of bed, his bare feet brushing the cold floor, tension rippling through every muscle.Something was off.He murmured, “I don’t remember coming back.”He rubbed the side of his neck, checking for signs. No injection point. No bruising. Just a faint pressure behind his eyes, like something had been pressed into his mind and then hastily pulled back.His gaze landed on the phone lying face-down on the desk.He walked over slowly, picking it up.“What was the last thing I did?” he muttered.“Taylor…” The memory came back in pieces. “We were tracking access to Han
KAIROS ACCESS 6B
Liu's penthouse was unusually quiet. Andrew stepped out of the elevator onto the top floor of Liu’s tower, his footsteps muffled against the marble. He turned into a narrow corridor and approached a blank wall panel concealed behind a decorative wood carving. He pressed his palm against the biometric scanner. A soft beep, He stepped inside. It was the surveillance room, on the main display, six monitors cycled silently through camera angles—each one a different section of the penthouse. He tapped a command key, isolating the feed from the lounge. There she was Hannah, she was curled up on the far couch, wrapped in a soft gray blanket. A cup of tea rested untouched on the table beside her. She looked tired. Andrew watched her in silence, she shifted slightly, pushing the blanket off her legs. As she stood, her hand moved instinctively over her lower stomach. He stared as she walked to the kitchen and opened a cabinet, and retrieved a small pill bottle. Two tablets into he
I Feel Like We Have Met Before
Fredrick leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, eyes narrowing as he tried to process the storm that had just hit the room.“Wait,” he finally said. “You’re saying Hannah’s in Liu’s penthouse?”Andrew gave a stiff nod.“And she’s pregnant?”“Yes.”Taylor was pacing now. “This... This changes everything.”Leon looked between them. “Does she know who you are? That you’re there?”Andrew shook his head. “She didn’t recognize me. Not with this face.”“What are you going to do?”Andrew walked slowly to the window and looked out. The Shanghai skyline shimmered beneath the late afternoon haze, the buildings casting long shadows across the streets.“I don’t know,” he said finally. “I don’t know what I can do.”He turned to face them.“If I go near her, I put her at risk. If Liu finds out I knew her before, everything falls apart—my cover, the summit plan, all of it. He’d use her. Or worse.”Leon leaned forward. “But she’s in his house. That’s already a risk.”“I know,” Andrew said, jaw tight.
She Is Carrying My Child!
The next morning Mei had already left for the hospital and Andrew was going to check if Liu was there as usual stepped out of the elevator onto the residential floor, his mind still clouded with the previous night’s meeting. He walked toward the hallway that curved past the sitting room, heading for the guest wing where Mei had once mentioned her private library. He figured it would be empty, and he could think in peace.He didn’t expect to see anyone. But as he turned the corner, someone walked straight into him and it was Hannah.She stumbled slightly, bumping against his chest. He instinctively caught her, hands gripping her arms to steady her, he saw her...it was really her.The soft curve of her jaw. The subtle scar near her left eyebrow. The way her lashes fluttered when she looked up at him in surprise.His breath vanished from his chest, she didn’t recognize him.“Sorry,” she said softly, stepping back. “I wasn’t paying attention.”Andrew couldn’t speak. His throat locked up.
Full Time Liars
The elevator slid down as Andrew stood beside Liu, hands clasped loosely in front of him. He could still hear Mei’s voice in his head: Her name is Hannah.Liu, for his part, looked strangely amused. He glanced at his reflection in the mirrored elevator doors and smirked.“My wife thinks I’m too harsh with people,” he said suddenly.Andrew looked over, silent. “She says it’s why I lose sleep. That maybe I would rest better if I let one or two people in.”He turned to Andrew with a raised brow. “You think she’s right?”Andrew thought carefully before answering. “You rest better when you don’t have to look over your shoulder.”Liu laughed—sharp and real. “See, this is why I like you, Li. You don’t flatter me. You survive me.”They finally stepped out into a private executive suite on the 52nd floor—one of Liu’s secured business floors, far removed from the family residence above. Two guards stood at the ends of the hallway. Taylor was already there as he had already come ahead of time a
