Jason felt composed as he approached Green blossom hotel, it was evening already, and the cold breeze was refreshing.
Today was Jade's birthday, his girlfriend, and she is celebrating it in one of the most luxury hotels in the neighborhood.They have been dating for two years now, and he hasn't given her a tangible gift. Last year, he only prepared a giant cake, which she loved, but it's not worth boasting about.This year he wanted to do something special, so he did a painting of her, she has always admired his painting, during the two years of their relationship, he has painted countless popular art works and some ancients ones for her.Jade admires popular painting, and he is good at painting anything, it's one of the reasons Jade has an unyielding love for him.She will definitely love this.Jason enters the hotel, among his peers in his dormitory, he is the only one with a girlfriend, and a beautiful one at that, he is truly lucky that Jade came into his life and accepted him for who he is.He reached the party room, he was about to step inside the room when he heard somebody's voice. The person was holding a mic, so his voice was louder than the music.“Jade Anderson. I dare you to kiss Robert Jackson for five minutes”Jason's heart skipped when he heard the words, what is going on here, why are they asking Jade to kiss Robert Jackson, what is Robert doing here anyway.His heart was beating rapidly, and he stayed motionless, he was lost in fearful thoughts.Jason finally got his senses back when the crowds were suddenly screaming from inside, he entered the room and the unimaginable was happening in front of him.Jade was kissing Robert lustfully.The painting Jason was holding loosened from his hand and fell to the ground.Bang!The shattering sounds covered the premises, everyone instinctively moved their gaze to the doorway.Jason was motionless at the doorway, his heart was pounding heavily, he struggled to voice out.“Jade”Jade turned to see it was Jason, her heart vibrated a little, but she regained her composure quickly, it's not her fault that he came late, she had already announced that she was no longer dating him.Jason's heart beat continued to increase, seeing Jade didn't respond to him.He stepped forward with his shaking legs.“Jade, what are you doing. What is this, were you forced”His words darkened the faces of everyone around, they couldn't believe he was this shameless, how dare he come to ruin the fun, does this look like a place where the likes of him can enter as he pleases.“Jason, how shameless are you, Jade has already ditched you, why are you here!“What with those words of yours! Are you daydreaming”Jason's heart skipped, what is she talking about, Jade and him are still together.He faced Jade, hoping she would say something now, she always cleared the air in situations like this.Jade finally stepped forward, Jason's heart rate slowly dropped to normal.What Jade did is still flashing in his head, but she was probably forced to, and she is coming to him to explain everything.Jade reached Jason. Jason wanted to voice out, but Jade's loud voice swallowed his words.“Didn't you come here for the food. Why don't you just tell them already”Everybody burst out laughing, how can they forget that one, Jason, the lifeless pauper, he is probably hungry, that is why he is here.Jason was dumbfounded, before he could recover from Jade's words, Jade grabbed a dish of cake from the table and slammed it on his face.“Here, take what you came here for”Jason was rendered speechless and motionless by Jade's actions.How can Jade do this to him, he is her boyfriend for goodness’s sake.Everybody was laughing out their belly, Robert chuckled slightly on his side, he stepped forward to Jade.“Jason, how do you plan to show your appreciation, Jade just feed you, or is it not enough”Robert hugs Jade from behind, he kisses her on her neck, then he faces Jason.“Don't tell me you want some for your roommates, those pigs!”Jason's heart tightened seeing Robert was hugging Jade from behind, and Jade wasn't pushing him away, he hadn't hugged Jade before, only once, and it wasn't up to five seconds.He can't count that as hugging, but Robert is tightly hugging Jade from behind, even going as far as kissing her on her neck, he doesn't even want to talk about the earlier kiss.Jason's fist was shaking.“Jade, why are you doing this. I thought we loved each other”Robert couldn't help but burst out laughing, Jason's words were so funny that everybody was laughing too.“Jason, how dumb are you, don't you understand the meaning of class, how can somebody like Jade Anderson love you.“She needed somebody to help her hold her bags, and you fit that category, don't call that love”Jason fist hardened.“I wasn't talking to you, I am talking to Jade”Jade released herself from Robert's embrace, it's time she enlightened this bumpkin boy.“It seems you haven't seen my post on my page, and you came late to witness my announcement. Well, I will say it to your face now. It's over, Jason, you and I are done.“I can't spend my life with a worthless pauper like you”

CHAPTER 452
At that moment, Derek raised his head slowly, his breath shallow, his jaw clenched despite the pressure tightening around his throat. His eyes met the old man's without flinching, without blinking. Blood was pooling at the corners of his lips from earlier hits, but he still managed to speak, voice hoarse but filled with unwavering resolve.“There’s nothing you are going to do that will break me,” he said, every word dripping with grit and defiance. “And there’s nothing you can ever do that will make me say what you want to hear. Nothing.”His words echoed through the room, not like a loud roar, but like a solemn vow. The air itself seemed to hold its breath, watching, listening. The guards nearby exchanged uneasy glances. For a man who looked so worn and broken, Derek didn’t sound defeated. He sounded like someone with nothing left to lose. And that was dangerous.The old man’s face didn’t shift right away. He stared at Derek for a few more seconds, his eyes dark, unreadable. But then
CHAPTER 451
He looked Derek dead in the eyes, no emotion in his face, only a quiet, unwavering promise of what was to come.“One…”He didn’t shout it. He whispered it. And somehow, that made it worse.“Two…”The sound echoed in the back of Derek’s mind, crawling under his skin.“Three…”Silence spread through the hall like a thick fog.“Four…”The old man tilted his head slightly, studying Derek like an insect he was about to crush.And just before the fifth word could slip from his lips, he added with a smirk that held no warmth—“If I reach five and you’re still standing there like a fool, I swear on everything that breathes, I will skin you alive for lying to my face.”Immediately, Derek looked up with fire in his eyes, the chains still around him barely restraining the heat that surged through his words. He didn’t flinch. He didn’t cower. Instead, he raised his chin slightly, defiantly, as if spitting in the face of fear itself.“Well,” he said, his voice strong and stubborn, “I don’t care. I
CHAPTER 450
At that moment, Derek narrowed his eyes, his voice growing firmer as he responded with controlled defiance, “So the whole idea now is that I should what? Break this chair, prove myself, unleash whatever strength I have, just so you—an old man who thinks he sees everything can finally say I’m worthy?”He gave a slow shake of his head, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, though his heart pounded beneath his chest. “No. That’s not going to happen.”The guards tensed, hearing his tone. Even the old man slightly furrowed his brows, not expecting such a calm response. Derek continued, “You say I’m hiding behind lies. That I don’t have strength because your so-called all-seeing eyes can’t detect it. That’s not my fault. That’s on you. Maybe your eyes are failing. Maybe your senses are duller than you believe.”He leaned forward slightly in the chair, though his wrists were still tightly bound, his body aching from earlier blows. “Let me explain something very clearly,” he said
CHAPTER 449
At that moment, Derek slowly lifted his head. His eyes, no longer filled with fear, locked directly onto the old man's gaze. There was no tremble in his voice this time. No stutter. Only silence at first, the kind of silence that made everyone else in the room hold their breath. Then slowly, Derek's lips curved—not into a smirk, not into a smile—but into something in between. Calm. Unshaken. And maybe, just maybe… dangerous."You said your eyes see everything," Derek said slowly, almost like he was speaking to a child. "Then maybe… it's time you went back and checked if those eyes of yours still work."The old man’s jaw tightened. The guards flinched, fists tightening. It wasn’t just the words Derek spoke—it was how he said them. The calmness in his voice, the control. The sheer disrespect. But more than that, it was the confidence. It was unnerving.“You speak boldly for someone still tied to a chair,” the old man said coldly, but even he could hear the shift. Something didn’t feel r
CHAPTER 448
At that moment, upon hearing what the old man just said, something inside Derek twisted.It was like a slow, cold knife turning in his gut.Even though he was still tied to the chair, even though his body ached and his wrists were burning from the ropes cutting into them, his mind began to race. Piece by piece, the truth started to come together—painfully, clearly, and humiliatingly.“They’re talking about Jason…” Derek whispered to himself, barely audible.It all made sense now.The “other boy” the old man wanted… wasn’t just any other boy. It was Jason. The real fighter. The one who always stood in front, who always made sure Derek never had to lift a hand. The one who carried the team in the last competition the one who humiliated their enemies so badly that they came crawling back, hungry for revenge.Jason. Again.Derek bit down hard on the inside of his cheek, almost drawing blood. The bitterness tasted like shame.So that was it. These people, whoever they were, had seen the fi
CHAPTER 448
Derek’s heart began to pound hard.Each thump felt like a drumbeat in his chest, a brutal rhythm echoing his rising fear. He tried his best to hide it, to stay calm, to remain the fearless Derek everyone knew. But inside, he was shaking. The cloth bag still covered his face, the ropes held him tight to the cold metal chair, and he couldn’t move an inch—not even enough to shift his weight.But none of that was what unsettled him.It was the sound, that slow… steady… tap… tap… tap of the walking stick hitting the floor.He didn’t know why, but there was something about that sound that gripped his chest like a vice. It wasn’t rushed. It wasn’t panicked. It was calm—too calm. Whoever was walking toward him wasn’t nervous, wasn’t afraid, wasn’t in a hurry. That kind of composure only came from one thing: power.Whoever it was… they were in charge. No doubt about it.Derek knew it in his bones. He didn’t need to see to know. That wasn’t just any man coming toward him that was the boss. The
