Andrew had obtained the location of the Dojo beforehand, which was why he knew where it was located. As Andrew sped off in his car towards the Dojo, Hannah was clueless about what was happening. She asked Andrew, "What's going on? Are you being pursued by someone?" Andrew steered the wheel while replying, "I made a deal with Master Alec, your father's friend, and I have to be there as soon as possible."Hannah felt a bit perplexed, wondering what kind of business Andrew had with Master Alec. She knew that Master Alec was solely focused on martial arts.Anticipating her curiosity, Andrew decided to explain, "Let's just say it's a short-term arrangement where I'll be getting paid to fight.""Fight!" Hannah's anger flared up, and she clenched her hands. While she knew Andrew was a skilled fighter, she didn't like the idea of him engaging in fights. She didn't want to see him get hurt. "He doesn't always consider himself," Hannah whispered under her breath."Sorry? Did you say something?
The Black Dragon students rushed towards the Crimson student who had defeated their teammate David."We must finish them off" one of them shouted as he was infuriated."Hey, hold on a sec!" Master Alec tried to interject, but his words were drowned out by the sound of the students colliding in a flurry of strikes.The Black Dragon students, fueled by a thirst for vengeance, attacked without hesitation, disregarding Master Alec's advice. The Crimson student, a towering figure with bulging muscles, effortlessly caught the first Black Dragon student who dove at him. He grabbed the student by the collar and hurled him across the training grounds, sending him crashing into a stack of wooden practice dummies, which splintered on impact."You bastard, you must pay!" another Black Dragon student yelled as he charged forward, his fists launched towards him. The Crimson student sidestepped the attack, then delivered a devastating elbow strike to the student's ribs, eliciting a sickening crac
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
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
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
