At that moment the alley was silent except for the sound of approaching footsteps. The men in suits spread out, surrounding Jason, Camila, and her grandfather, their movements calculated, confident. Jason’s calm demeanor didn’t waver as he stepped forward, his eyes scanning the group.

Camila’s heart pounded as she grabbed her grandfather’s arm, whispering urgently, “Grandfather, please, let’s just give them the ring. This isn’t worth it.”

However her grandfather didn’t reply, his focus fixed on Jason. There was something unsettling yet reassuring about the young man’s calmness. He hadn’t faltered, not even as the first attacker lunged at him with a vicious strike.

At that moment Jason moved like a shadow—swift, calculated, and precise.

He sidestepped the attack, delivering a sharp elbow to the man’s ribs, dropping him to the ground in an instant.

Seeing what just happened the others hesitated for only a moment before charging at him all at once.

What happened next was a blur of moti

    At that moment Jason crouched in front of the gang boss, his cold gaze piercing through the man’s defiance. “Who sent you?” he asked again, his tone calm but carrying an edge that made the air feel heavier.The gang boss spat blood onto the pavement, smirking through his bruised face. “You can ask me a thousand times, kid,” he sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. “You won’t get a word out of me.”Jason’s jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t rise to the provocation. Instead, he calmly pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts. Seeing what Jason was doing the boss raised an eyebrow, confused but still cocky. “What now? You gonna call your mommy?” he taunted, chuckling weakly.Jason ignored him, pressing a number and putting the phone to his ear. “Giovanni,” he said evenly, his eyes never leaving the boss’s face. “I need you here. Now.”The boss froze mid-smirk, the name echoing in his mind like a thunderclap. His blood ran cold as realization dawned, but he quick

    Summer stepped out of the elevator and into the dimly lit corridor of the hotel’s private suite floor. Her heart raced as she adjusted the strap of her bag, unsure if coming here was the right decision.Then the receptionist had directed her to one of the private rooms, and she now stood in front of the heavy wooden door. Taking a deep breath, she knocked softly.At that moment the door opened, revealing the boy she had called earlier. He leaned casually against the doorframe, a sly grin on his face as he looked her up and down. “Glad you could make it,” he said, stepping aside to let her in.However Summer hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. The room was spacious and luxurious, filled with the sound of laughter and the clinking of glasses. Around the dining table sat a group of people, some of whom Summer immediately recognized. There were a few guys, including the boy she had called, and a handful of girls—some of whom attended her school but majored in different courses.

    At that moment Jason had just seen Camila’s text pop up on his phone, asking if he would marry her. He stared at it for a moment, his mind clouded with uncertainty.He didn't know what he was going to say to her or how he's going or react, but one thing is sure she won't give it and so doesn't her grandfather.Before he could decide how to respond, his phone vibrated with an incoming call. It was Summer.Without hesitation, he answered, pressing the phone to his ear. “Summer?” he said, his voice calm but curious.What greeted him wasn’t her usual cheerful tone. Instead, muffled sounds of struggling filled his ears. Jason’s expression shifted immediately, his brow furrowing as his grip on the phone tightened. “Summer? Are you okay?” he asked, his voice firmer now.At that moment aman’s voice cut through the noise, low and menacing. “She’s coming with me.”Jason froze, his body stiffening as his mind raced. His expression darkened, his jaw clenching tightly. “Who is this? What are you

    At that moment Jason kept his composure as a few of the bigger guys from the group sauntered toward him, their expressions smug and filled with challenge. Immediately one of them, a tall, muscular boy wearing a backward cap, stepped forward, his tone dripping with disdain. “Who do you think you are, walking onto our court without even asking for permission?”Hearing what the boy just said.Jason took a deep breath, trying to keep his anger in check. “Look, I’m not here to start anything. I just need to find Samuel Rowan. It’s urgent,” he said, his tone firm but measured.At that moment the taller boy scoffed, crossing his arms. “Urgent? To us, you’re just some errand boy trying to act important. You want something? Ask nicely, maybe we’ll think about it.”Immediately the others chuckled, their laughter echoing across the court.At that moment Jason’s patience was wearing thin, but he tried one more time. “I’m not looking for trouble. Just tell me where Samuel lives, and I’ll be o

    At that moment The silence in the room was suffocating as Jason’s question hung in the air.Immediately the men on the couches exchanged glances before one of them smirked, rising to his feet. “You’ve got a lot of nerve barging in here,” he sneered, cracking his knuckles as he took a step toward Jason.However Jason didn’t respond. His eyes remained fixed on the group, his stance steady, every muscle in his body coiled like a spring. At that moment Another man, emboldened by his friend, stood up as well, grabbing an empty bottle from the table.“Looks like we’ve got ourselves a hero,” he mocked, twirling the bottle in his hand. “Let’s show him how we handle nosy bastards.”At that moment the first man lunged at Jason, swinging a wild punch.Immediately Jason shifted effortlessly, grabbing the man’s wrist and twisting it with brutal precision. At that moment a sickening crack echoed through the room as the man howled in pain, collapsing to his knees.Seeing what just happened the s

    At that moment Jason hesitated at the base of the stairs before following Summer’s father up to her room. He told himself it was to be sure she’d be alright, but a part of him felt an unspoken pull—a need to see her one last time for before he leaves.However As they entered her bedroom, Jason’s eyes were immediately drawn to the walls. His breath caught in his throat. Hanging on her walls, carefully framed and displayed, were several of his old paintings. Paintings he had created during his early days at the university, when he was still finding his style. They were raw, imperfect, but filled with emotion—pieces of himself he hadn’t thought anyone cared for. Yet here they were, decorating Summer’s space like prized possessions.At that moment he moved closer to one, his fingers brushing the edge of the frame. The colors, the strokes—it was as if he was seeing them for the first time through someone else’s eyes. His chest tightened.“She kept these?” he said himself, his mind swirlin

    After the call Jason drive to the Major hotel.Not long after he arrived and parked his car outside the Hotel, the grandeur of the building gleaming under the city lights.At that moment He adjusted his jacket, taking a deep breath before stepping through the grand revolving doors. As soon as he entered the private hall reserved for their meeting, he noticed the room was already filled with an air of reverence and anticipation.Waiting for his arrival.Seated were Giovanni Hades, the feared and respected king of the underworld; George Winston, the city’s influential mayor; Liam Jones, renowned as the miracle doctor; and Benjamin Franklin, the business tycoon whose name was synonymous with success. At that moment, at the sight of Jason, they all stood up and, to his surprise, dropped to their knees in unison.“Master,” they said in unison, their voices filled with respect.However Jason’s expression remained calm, though he felt the weight of the moment. “Stand up,” he said, his to

    At that moment Jason’s jaw tightened, and he glanced down at the ring on his finger, its gleaming surface catching the light. His thoughts swirled as the full picture of his family’s history came into focus. He now understood the burden he carried, the responsibility etched into his bloodline.“Master Jason,” Giovanni Hades spoke up, his tone uncharacteristically soft, “you are the one who will restore what was lost. We are here to serve you, to ensure the prophecy becomes a reality—not through fear, but through the wisdom and strength of your lineage.”Hearing what Giovanni just said.Jason nodded slowly, his gaze still fixed on the ring. “This,” he murmured, “is only ten percent of my power, yet I’ve already reached the grandmaster realm. If this is what ten percent feels like…” He trailed off, his voice heavy with determination.The room was silent as everyone absorbed the significance of his words. Jason looked up, his eyes burning with resolve. The path forward was clearer now, a

    At that moment Camilla didn’t flinch. She squared her shoulders and stepped forward again. “Do you think we’re just some ordinary kids? That children don’t come from wealthy families anymore?”However The security man didn’t answer at first. His gaze flicked between her firm expression and the phone in her hand. At that moment he adjusted his belt, the corner of his mouth twitching upward as if he’d heard a joke only he understood.“My grandfather has booked Pasumi Kazoo before,” she added, her voice rising, “Once, in fact. So don’t stand there and act like we don’t belong.”Her words hung in the air. Sharp. Unapologetic.Upon hearing what Camila The security man chuckled. It wasn’t mocking—it was more of a tired laugh, the kind that came from someone who’d seen too much. He folded his arms. “I get it. You’re trying to stand your ground. That’s good. But right now, you're just behaving like a child.”Camilla’s breath caught.He went on, shaking his head slightly. “Even if your grandf

    Seeing what Jason just did Camilla blinked as Jason slipped his phone back into his pocket. “Wait… that’s it?” she whispered, glancing at her friend, then back at Jason.However Jason didn’t reply. He stood calm, his hands relaxed by his sides, his eyes fixed ahead like he was simply waiting for something he already knew would happen.Immediately Camilla’s friend leaned in and whispered, “He didn’t even say a full sentence… just one line? That’s who he called?”“Yeah,” Camilla muttered, her voice soft but unsure. “He didn’t even sound worried.”At that moment a strange tension settled over them—quiet but heavy. Then Camilla bit her lip, half in confusion, half in nervousness.Across the road, the group of friends who had been laughing earlier were still recording. One of them zoomed in and chuckled. “Oh wow, he really made a call. What now, Jason? Is a helicopter coming to pick you up?”Hearing what they just said, The security guard snorted, folding his arms in front of the entrance.

    Jason’s pace slowed a little when he spotted Camilla and her friend standing outside the elegant entrance of Pasu Mikazu. His brows furrowed.He couldn't believe they were still outside? They should’ve been inside by now, soaking in the ambiance, not lingering by the door like they didn’t belong.He stepped closer, a light crease forming between his brows as he approached them.“Hey,” he said, glancing between Camilla and her friend, “what’s going on? Why are you two still out here?”Immediately Camilla gave a short sigh, folding her arms slightly across her waist. She looked embarrassed, but also slightly frustrated.“It’s… the security man,” she said softly, gesturing toward the well-dressed but stern-looking man guarding the entrance. “He said we can’t go in.”Hearing what Camila just said, Jason blinked. “What? Why not? You have the invitation, don’t you?”“We do,” she nodded, pulling out her phone. “But he said the QR code looks fake. Apparently, they’ve been having a lot of onl

    The boys coughed and winced where they lay, nursing bruises and swallowing the bitter taste of humiliation. Their breaths came short, their faces a mix of confusion, pain, and fear. One of them, still holding onto his ribs, forced out a shaky voice."Yes, yes—we didn’t mean it!" he said, gasping.“Honestly,” another added, his voice trembling as he wiped a streak of dirt off his cheek, “we were just trying to scare you, that’s all. Just scare tactics… so you’d back down, apologize. That’s what we wanted.”Jason stood still, letting their words hang in the air like a weak excuse trying to find wings. His eyes scanned the group—ten of them, and not one could meet his gaze directly. The fear now written across their faces was thick, raw, almost pitiful.“Oh… now I understand,” Jason said slowly, his voice dangerously calm. “So it was all for show? The threats? The ambush? The part where you were going to break all ten of my fingers?”A nervous chuckle slipped out from one of the boys, bu

    One of them stepped forward—tall, lean, and arrogant, with a twisted grin that made Jason’s jaw tighten.“You know, Jason,” the guy said, cracking his knuckles, “you’re a very troublesome person.”Jason didn’t respond. His silence only seemed to encourage them.“Word around is,” another chimed in from behind, “you’ve fought with a bunch of people in this school already. You're always in some drama, right? Always in trouble. Always causing something.”Jason gave a faint smirk, but his eyes stayed focused. He could already see where this was going.“Thing is,” the first guy continued, circling him like a vulture, “tonight, there’s no crowd. No cameras. No teachers. No referees to save you. Just us. And you.”Someone behind laughed. “Yeah, and we’ve already got our story cooked up. When they ask, we’ll say you attacked us first. That you were angry because we told you the truth—that you were cheating in the game.”“That’s right,” another added quickly, “you got mad, lost your cool, and s

    Jason smiled, just a little. A tired, knowing smile.Now he understood.Now he understood why some players probably lost to these guys on purpose—why they didn't give their all on the court. Because the moment you did, the moment you showed your worth, they came after you. Not with a handshake or a respectful nod like true sportsmen—but with bitterness and threats. This wasn’t competition. This was insecurity masked as pride.Jason let out a quiet sigh, not one of fear, but of disappointment.He looked each of them in the eye, one after the other, calm and composed.“You know,” he said slowly, “this explains a lot.”The tallest one raised a brow, confused. “What are you talking about?”“This,” Jason said, gesturing casually at the group, “this attitude right here… it’s why people probably let you win in the past. It’s easier than dealing with this kind of behavior.”One of them scowled. “You think we care what people think?”“No,” Jason said plainly. “That’s the problem. You don’t car

    The entire gymnasium erupted like fireworks exploding in waves of celebration. Students from Jason’s school stormed the court, screaming and chanting his name like he was a hero in a movie come to life.“Jason! MVP! MVP!”Some were laughing. Some were crying. Everyone was jumping, hugging, high-fiving like they had just won the championship—even though it was just a qualifier. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was Jason, the so-called rookie, the boy nobody believed in, had just pulled off the impossible.Camilla’s name started floating in whispers.“No wonder she’s dating him.”“I mean—did you see that last shot?”“He’s not just fine, he’s a genius. That boy is gifted.”People were already editing Instagram stories and posting clips of Jason’s fourth-quarter domination, tagging it with: “MVP of the year.” Even the school’s teachers who had come to watch looked dumbfounded but deeply proud.Meanwhile, the opposing school’s side was dead silent. You could almost hear their heartbre

    A thick silence settled in the room. The tension was sharp enough to slice through.Then one of the men, the same one who’d been flipping his pen between his fingers since the meeting started, finally leaned forward and broke it.“What if he’s hiding something?” His voice was cautious, almost accusing. “A special ingredient? A catalyst that wasn’t listed in the video?”A few heads turned his way. The thought lingered in the air, heavy and unsettling.For a moment, no one responded.Then a man at the far end of the table, older and sharper in tone, sat up and said firmly, “We’ve all seen the footage. Watched it frame by frame. The way he handled it—every motion, every measurement—it was clean, intentional, and consistent. No hesitation. No room for secret ingredients.”Someone else nodded. “Exactly. He didn’t pause, didn’t second-guess himself. And the product? It performed exactly as described. If he had some hidden technique, it would’ve shown up in his rhythm, his flow. But everythi

    By the third quarter, the scoreboard glared back with an unforgiving truth—80 to 30. The gym buzzed, but not with hope. Greyhill’s fans were practically dancing in the stands, taunting louder with every basket, every steal. “Third year in a row!” they screamed.On the court, Jason stood still for a moment, hands on his knees, sweat dripping, chest rising steadily—but not from exhaustion. It was restraint. Every time he sprinted into open space, his hands ready, eyes calling for the ball, it never came. Not once.Instead, Marvin tried a contested jumper from the side and missed.Alex forced a drive into the paint and got blocked.“Again?” the coach growled from the sideline, yanking off his cap and throwing it down.Jason stayed calm, even though his fists were clenching tighter now.He wasn’t invisible.They were ignoring him on purpose.The tension had been building ever since that locker room talk weeks ago—when Jason said they needed to play smarter, not just harder.
