Jason's eyebrows raised, George was telling the truth, strange things were happening, and his body seemed to be packed with a lot of energy.

“What is happening to me, does it have something to do with this ring”

George examined the ring and his eyebrows raised, it's growing really fast, the master is evolving at a fast rate.

At this rate, it will take only a month for the master to fully have access to all the powers that have been cultivated into the ring.

This is remarkable.

He faces Jason.

“It has something to do with the ring, that ring is the ring of supremacy, and it's only given to the next successor of the Spectre family.

“It houses all the strength and abilities of the former predecessor”

Jason's heart was starting to pound heavily, this is serious, this ring is truly something else, he was scared for some unknown reason.

“Why is it happening now, I have been putting it on since I was five”

George stepped closer to Jason.

“You are up to the age now, and your blood came in contact with the ring”

The scene flashes on Jason's head, this is real, this is really happening, this ring is what is causing the sudden burst of energy inside him, and George Winston, the Mayor of Ocean Berry is his disciple.

Is this even possible.

Jason faced George.

“What do you mean, I am the last surviving heir, where is my family”

George's eyes moved to the ground, he was silent for a while before he said.

“They are dead, they were killed”

He faced Jason.

“Your family abandoned you so they could protect you, none of us knew about you, we thought everybody perished, that is why we failed to find you”

“What do you mean, We”

Jason was finding his words confusing.

“I am not your only disciple, you have others, while you were in danger a while ago, the ring was sending out warning signals to all of us. That is how I located you”

Jason paused, staring at George, he has other disciples, who are they and what is their status in the society, those thoughts vanished quickly.

“Who is responsible for my family's death”

Having the Winston family as one of his disciples, then his family is powerful, who then is capable of destroying such a powerful family.

“The Amaranthine. An association that is being governed by darkness. The devil himself”

George kneels close to Jason, he already admires the master's courage, he will put his life on the line to ensure the master's safety.

“Master, you don't need to worry about that. Right now, you must keep your identity a secret, your power is growing, it's the fastest ever recorded in your family history.

“A month from now, you will have full control of your power, then the Amaranthine won't dare to stand in your way, and you can seek revenge if you please”

“I will avenge my family”

Jason sounded immediately. His fist was tightly squeezed, all this while, he thought his parents were poor so they abandoned him because they couldn't cater for him. He was wondering why they decided to have him when they knew they cannot take care of him.

His fist hardened more, he didn't know that they sacrificed their lives just to ensure his safety, and they gave him their most valuable treasure, giving this ring away is probably one of the reasons they failed to protect themselves.

He will avenge them, he must avenge them.

George's cheeks moved, he bowed his head on the floor.

“Until the master obtains his full strength, I will protect you, and I will fight alongside you when the time comes”

Jason takes a deep breath.

“Stand up, all of you”

All the men stand up, including George, Junior hands George his contact card.

George bows 90 degrees and hands the card to Jason.

“This is my contact card master, feel free to call any time you please”

Jason accepted the card from George's hands. George's cheeks raised seeing the master accepted his card.

He kneels on the floor again.

Jason's place the card in his pocket.

“George, I want a meeting with all my disciples, and I want you to set the date and time. I need to know my people, those that are following me”

George stands to his feet and bows 90 degrees again.

“Yes master”

Jason turned facing the exit.

“I need to head back to my dormitory, I will call you if I need anything”

George bows 90 degrees.

“Absolutely, master.

“Should I escort you back”

He was excited that he was the first among the disciples to see the master. It's such an honor to enlighten the master about his past. He wished he could stay with the master all day.

“That won't be appropriate, I have to leave”

“I understand, master”

George's eyes remained on the floor.

**

Landon bash his front door open, he walked straight to the wine rack in the living room, he brought out a wine and poured himself a full glass.

He drank the whole glass in one go, then he poured himself another full glass, he raised the glass to his mouth but the pleasure to continue was suddenly disconnected inside him.

“Dammit!!”

He threw the glass away, then he smashed the wine on the floor.

“That fucking bastard!!, That fucking prick!”

Landon tried to calm his pressure, but his breath kept increasing.

“I have to kill him”

He nods repeatedly to his words.

“I have to kill him!!!”

Landon's rush to the telephone close to the wine rack. He dialed the numbers swiftly.

“Yes, Bobby Emmett. I have a job for you, and I want it done immediately”

The man on the other side sounded from a nightclub.

“Who do you want to kill this time”

Landon grips tighten on the telephone.

“It's just a university student, he should be on his way to his dormitory now, I want you to kill him. I will send you the necessary information, and the money”

The man on the other side stands up from his seat.

“Okay boss”

Landon dropped the telephone back, his facial expression remain deadly, the kid is good at martial art, but he is not up to the level of a one-star warrior, all Bobby men are one-star warriors, and Bobby himself is at the edge of breaking into a two-star warrior, killing the kid should be as easy as breathing for him.

His fingers drummed on the table. That bastard must die!

He follows them to the office given to the disciplinary team. The security men stand at the doorway of the building, while he proceeds to Mr. Anthony's office, Jason enters the office only to see Robert sitting on one of the chairs, he immediately knew what this was all about. “Jason, What are you, a monster or an evil wizard. You don't pay your tuition fees on time, yet the school never treats you badly, but you have the grit to tarnish the school image”Jason didn't put his ears to his words, it's time-wasting to do such a thing.

This is Mr Anthony, the head of the school disciplinary team, his words are final, nobody can change it. Mr. Anthony fist hardened, he expected this kid to be crying helplessly on the floor now, but he is acting so calm, like nothing is happening here, does he think the student president can save him. “If you just called the student president then I am sorry to inform you that the student president doesn't have the power to influence my judgment.“My words are final and final!”Robert faces Jason again. “I can't believe you actually called the student council for help, when the evidence is clearly in front of you. “Or are you saying the person on the video is not you”Jason didn't put his ears to Robert's words, but he sounded to Mr. Anthony. “I only called somebody that would listen to my side of the story, so relax, unl

    Robert was dumbstruck when he heard Jason's words, How can Jason refuse three hundred thousand dollars, he doesn't even have that kind of money with him, he was just doing this so he can get away from this place, then he can find a way of settling Jason with a much lesser amount, or even get him in trouble so he doesn't pay. How can Jason refuse three hundred thousand dollars. “Five hundred thousand dollars. That is the highest I can give you, I am not paying higher than that”Jason cheeks moved, he knows Robert is trying to play games with him, there is no way Robert has such an amount with him, his family might be rich, but they are just a second class family, they won't give their son such money. He is not after the money anyway. “Well, I have already told you what I want, if you really want to solve it with money, then pay me one billion dollars. One billion dollars and I will forgive you straight away”Robert's eyes teared open in shock, Jason really didn't want money. “Haha

Disbelieving.The guy in the navy suit, who had been questioning Jason all night, shook his head.“Do you even hear yourself?” he scoffed, leaning forward.His eyes gleamed with frustration, like he was trying to convince himself Jason was lying.“No one has connections in Rio Grade Design.”A few people nodded, murmuring in agreement.A girl in gold silk folded her arms.“That company doesn’t allow outsiders to pull strings.

    At the Private Dinner TableThe weight of Jason’s words settled over the room like a storm waiting to break.The laughter was gone.The mocking smirks had disappeared.Now, there was only stunned silence.Because if what Jason was saying was true…Then he wasn’t just some random junior.He was someone who had walked into DF Shopping Mall, dropped five million dollars in cash, and walked out with a dress that had been untouched for years.A dress that even the richest among them wouldn’t dare to touch.The murmurs spread.A few people leaned toward each other, whispering.Camila could see it—the doubt, the disbelief, but also… the curiosity.They wanted to challenge him.They wanted to tear the story apart.But the problem was… they couldn’t.Because the rumor was real.Everyone in their world had heard it—that someone had bought the DF symbol dress for five million dollars in cash.And now—Jason was saying it was him.Someone finally broke the silence.A guy in a gray suit, his voice

    At the Private Dinner TableThe air remained thick even after everyone sat back down.Jason could feel it.The way their eyes still lingered on him, waiting, expecting him to slip.Camila’s defense had stopped them—for now.But it hadn’t changed their minds.They still thought he was a fraud.A scammer.And now, they wanted proof.The guy in the navy suit smirked, tapping his finger against the rim of his wine glass.“So, Jason.” His voice was smooth, calculated. “Since you were keeping a low profile, prove it.”A few people nodded in agreement.Some even leaned forward slightly, intrigued.Jason could tell—they weren’t just asking.They were challenging him.Because if he failed to prove himself here, whatever respect he had gained would vanish instantly.Camila crossed her arms, irritation flickering in her gaze.“Seriously?” she scoffed.“You just asked him all these questions, accused him of being a con artist, and now you want proof? What, are we in court?”A few people chuckled

    At the Private Dinner TableThe pressure in the room was thick.Jason was being scrutinized, tested.Camila could feel it—the weight of their stares, the unspoken challenge in their words.They weren’t just curious.They wanted to see him fail.To prove that he was nothing.Her fingers tightened slightly around her fork.Then—she cleared her throat.Loud enough for everyone to hear.“Alright, that’s enough.”Her voice was firm, sharp.The entire table paused.Camila leaned forward slightly, her eyes scanning each of them.“This isn’t an interview for my boyfriend. This is my pre-birthday party.”Her tone hardened.“Why the hell are you all asking him these questions? Are you trying to say I’m lying?”A heavy silence followed.For a moment, no one spoke.Then, someone sighed, shaking their head.“No one’s saying that, Camila. We were just curious.”A few people nodded, pretending to back off.Camila could tell—they weren’t dropping it.They were just changing tactics.And sure enough—

    Outside the Private SuiteCamila walked up to Jason, her posture poised as always, but there was a slight stiffness in her movements.She exhaled softly before speaking.“Jason, I’m sorry.”Jason tilted his head slightly, his eyes calm and unreadable.“For what?”Camila hesitated for just a fraction of a second before answering.“For not telling you about the pre-birthday party.”Jason let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head.“There’s nothing to apologize for.”Camila’s brows furrowed slightly, sensing something off in his tone.Then Jason spoke again, his voice calm, distant.“Our relationship is fake anyway.”Her fingers curled slightly.Something about the way he said it—like it was a fact, like it was obvious—bothered her.Not because he was mistaken.But because lately, she had started to forget that.She had gotten used to him.To having him around.To the way he never tried to impress her, never treated her like she was above him.And yet, here he was—reminding her.Camila to

    At that moment Jason leaned back slightly, his gaze calm, unwavering.“I’ll pay the amount,” he said smoothly. “But on one condition.”The CEO raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”Jason’s smirk deepened. “You have to announce publicly that someone purchased the dress for thirty million dollars.”At that A beat of silence followed.Then—The woman’s eyes flickered with something unreadable.The room itself felt heavier.For the first time in their conversation, she didn’t respond immediately.Instead, she studied him carefully, as if trying to find a crack in his confidence.Did he really have that kind of money?Did he even flinch at the price?No.He was completely composed.As if thirty million dollars was nothing.Her fingers lightly tapped against her armrest as she exhaled slowly.“…Interesting,” she murmured.Jason didn’t blink. “So? Is it a deal?”The woman was silent for another second—then, surprisingly, she reached out her hand.Jason took it.They shook hands.It wasn’t just an agreem

    At that moment Jason leaned back in his chair, his expression calm, almost amused.“How much are you willing to pay for me to return the dress?”The CEO studied him for a moment, then smirked.“I’ll give you two million dollars.”Jason raised an eyebrow. “Two million?”She nodded. “You’ve already taken all the praise for buying it. Giving you the full amount would be a loss for me.”At that moment Jason exhaled lightly, as if he found the situation ridiculous.Then, he shook his head. “That won’t work for me.”The woman arched a brow. “Oh? And why not?”Jason’s gaze didn’t waver. “Because if people see that the dress is back in the store in less than a day,” he said smoothly, “then I’d be the biggest loser of them all.”His tone was calm, but firm.The CEO’s smirk faltered slightly.Jason continued, his voice dropping just a notch lower. “If you really want the dress back, give me ten million dollars, and I’ll hand it over.”The scene went silent.For a moment, there was nothing but
