Mr. Landon quickly recovered from the slap, he faced his men and roared.
“What are you still doing, release him!!”Sir George doesn't like violence, and he is the Mayor, there is no way he will folds his hand and watch him brutally assault somebody.Dammit!!This bastard is lucky that the Mayor showed up.Jason was released immediately, he was starting to break free anyway, his strength seemed to be increasing every minute.He doesn't know what is happening to him, his body seems to be packed with so much energy, surely those men won't have been able to hold him any longer.Jason walks to the exit without looking at anybody's face; however, he plans to show the Mayor his respect.Mr. Landon couldn't hold it anymore, Jason wasn't walking fast enough, he was delaying the Mayor's time.“Get the hell out of here already, Bastard!!!”George's face darkened, he would've killed Mr. Landon already if these kids weren't here, he is lucky to still be alive, and he dares insult the master again.He angrily stepped forward to Landon and slapped him on his face, the force sent Mr. Landon to the ground, the slap was heavier than the former, and it echoed through the room.Mr. Landon was stupefied, what did he do now, his face was red like a tomato, but he dare not ask questions.He quickly bows his head on the floor.“Spare me, Sir George. Please pardon my mannerless behavior”George felt like crushing Landon down with his feet, but that will look overboard to the people around, he was lucky that these kids were around.He turned to face Jason, he would've knelt already, but he couldn't do it because of the people's presence, and the master doesn't know who he truly is.“What happened”He approached Jason. He must handle the situation fully, so the master can reward him later.Jason was surprised the Mayor cared to listen, so he explained everything to him.George's face darkened. He turned facing Natalie.“Come here”Natalie's legs turned jelly, the Mayor of Ocean Berry, the Winston family, one of the most powerful families in Ocean Berry, the head of the Winston family, George Winston, is calling her.Her heart skipped, her family are crawling babies in front of the Winston family, what is she going to do now, even the Jackson won't dare to cough in their presence, let alone a commoner family like hers.Natalie struggled moving her legs to George, she dare not lie, the cctv camera will prove everything.“Sir, I am sorry!”Natalie dropped to her knees with tears streaming down from her face.George didn't pay attention to her words, he faced the men behind him, and they handed him a pen.He throws the pen close to Natalie.“Sign the documents”Natalie's heart skipped, she can't sign the documents, she can't work for free for twenty years, and it's even overtime working, she will have to quit schooling.“Sir…, I will pay the money. I have the money with me”George didn't put ears to her words.“You have five seconds to decide, or you will face prison immediately. Five years is what I would arrange for you, that is the minimum”Natalie's heart jumped, she quickly rushed to the document, everybody knows that the Mayor doesn't joke with his words, and his men were already moving to seize her.She opens the documents and starts signing the spaces that requires her signature, her eyes capture the fee of breaking the conduct of the contract.One billion dollars.Her hands started shaking, what had she done.George sounded when she was done.“I will put somebody here to monitor you”Natalie collapsed to the ground feeling helpless, she is finished, Jason this ANIMAL!Robert and Jade were shaking in their spot, they were afraid the Mayor would tag them into this case, even though Jason didn't say anything about them.George faced Mr. Landon.“Pardon me, Sir George, I didn't know anything about the whole situation, I didn't get to hear the whole story!!”Mr. Landon was shivering uncontrollably, this is the Mayor they are talking about, one of Ocean Berry's most fearful men.“Of course I will pardon you, but I have other things to address.“You have been defrauding the government of your taxes, and the statue outside was constructed on the road. Your fine is a billion dollars, come to the courthouse tomorrow. Bring your lawyer along”Mr. Landon's heart kicked violently, he felt like dying already, everything the Mayor said is true, he is finished!“Sir George…”“Get out!!!, All of you!!!”George clapped, and his men brought out their guns and simultaneously shot all the cameras in the room.Mr. Landon hurriedly rushed to the exit.He dare not disobey the Mayor's orders.Robert and Jade also hurried to the exit, including Natalie, the sound of the gunshots almost made them peed in their pants.Jason waited because he wanted to thank the Mayor, however, all the men suddenly dropped to their knees when everybody left.Jason was dumbfounded by their actions, he turned to the Mayor and the Mayor was also on his knees.“You are the last surviving heir of the Spectre family.“I, George Winston, is a disciple of the Spectre family. I have come to swear my loyalty to the Master”George bows his head on the floor, he had to make sure nobody was watching, the master identity is very complicated.Jason was completely flabbergasted by George's words, what is the Mayor saying, and why is he bowing his head on the floor.How did the Mayor even know his family name.Jason was confused.“I don't know what you are talking about, Sir George. You got the wrong person”George raised his head to face the master.“That ring can't be fake. You are from the Spectre family, flesh and blood, and you looked exactly like your grandfather”His voice vibrated the room again.Jason's heart skipped when George mentioned the ring, this is the only thing his family left him with, they abandoned him and left him with a ring.“This ring belongs to my family, they told me that at the orphanage home”George's fist hardened, the earlier scenes flashed through his mind, the master must've suffered a lot of hardship.“I am sorry, I failed to locate you master”“How do you know, I am truly the person you are looking for”Jason was curious now, he still believed the Mayor had mistaken him for somebody else, but he wished he was the right person.George stands up to his feet.“Haven't you be feeling strange, your body hasn't been the same since you got injured badly”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 con
“I understand”He frowns as he ends the phone call, Natalie blocked his view immediately.“Can your dad help”“He can't”Robert covers his face with both of his palms.“This is the Mayor orders, my dad possibly can't do anything”Natalie's heart vibrated, she squats on the floor with more tears streaming down from her face, she would have to quit school, the contract working time is twenty hours daily, at this rate, she is never going to graduate.Her body was shaking, it's because of that animal, that pauper.Robert faces Natalie.“It's not over yet, my dad says they are having a meeting with the Mayor tomorrow, he will ask his boss to talk to him, at least you are still a student, he will lessen the working time”“What about the years, can he help with that…. it's twenty years, twenty years!”She will be forty before her contract expires, that is insane. Totally insane.Robert massaged his forehead, with a sign of disappointment written on his face.“That is the highest he can do. L
Giovanni's red eyes were glowing as he emerged from the darkness, these monkeys have no idea what they are doing, they dared to hinder the master movement, the last surviving heir of the Spectre family.They even dare to stand in his presence.He wanted to move when Bobby fell to his knees immediately.“Have mercy, your highness!. The great lord of the dark”His body was vibrating with fear, what has he done, what the fuck has he done. Mr. Landon says this kid has no background information, why is the great lord of the dark here, the king of the night is a nine-star warrior, and he is one step away from breaking through into a grandmaster.He is the strongest among the five night kings of Ocean Berry, he won't dare to mess with the underlings of the Hades, let alone the Hades king himself.“Have mercy, your highness”Bobby bows his head on the floor, he was trembling uncontrollably as he awaits the response of the night king; however, Giovanni walked past him.His attention was on th
Joe Landon sat close to his wine rack, two empty bottles of wine were close to his chair and he was holding a full glass of wine in his right hand. His attention moves to the telephone behind him, he wonders what is taking Bobby so long, it's just a kid, how long will he take to finish a mere university kid. The front door suddenly bashed open, and a man dressed in black suit rushed to Joe, his footsteps were lagging due to his shaking body, fear was completely written on his face as he reached Joe. Joe stands up when he sees the white envelope on his butler hand. He asked Bobby to send him the head of the kid, but this is just a normal envelope, there is no way the kid's head will be inside. “What is it Bernard, why the rush and why are you sweating”Bernard hands the envelope over to Joe. “Somebody delivered this to the guards at the gate, he wants us to leave Ocean Berry now”He saw how frightened the guards were, whoever delivered this letter must be a person of prestigious s
Joe heart skipped, how is this possible, that little kid is the master of the Hades clan. He ran a background check on him, and he is just a commoner, a low life pauper, one that can't even afford his meal, how can he be the master of the Hades clan. What has he done. “My Lord—”Giovanni instantly slashed Joe's head away, nobody offends the master and go scout free or live to see the next day, unless the master says otherwise. He swings his katana twice removing the blood stain on it, before he places it back in his scabbard. “Master, What do we do with the bodies”The female among the four individuals sounded. Giovanni turned facing the doorway. “Set the mansion ablaze”He gently walks to the exit, the rest of the Landon family properties will be sold to compensate the master for mental damages. Joe Landon has no family, he is an old man who has been flexing with young girls all his life, this death serves him right. “Yes, master!”The four individuals sounded at the same ti
Jason's eyebrows raised a little, Mr. Anthony is the head of the disciplinary council the school formed to handle matters of students that break the law, he wonders why Mr. Anthony is looking for him, he hasn't broken any law. “I have classes now, I will see him later”Jason wanted to walk away when the two security men blocked his path. “He demands to see you now”Jason frowns, it doesn't work this way, but it seems he has no choice here. 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. He steps to
Robert's face hardened more, he wonders why Jason is so calm, is it that he doesn't know the magnitude of the offense he committed and who is judging the case. 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
The security men didn't waste any more time, they dragged Anthony with them. Robert's legs were shaking, this is bad, this is really bad, what is he going to do now. The president is not going to toss this case away, what if he gets exposed by Mr. Anthony.Why did the president have to show up at such a crucial time like this, what is he even doing here. His eyes moved to Jason, this lucky bastard. Theodore stares at the door for a while before he turns facing Jason. “Jason, I apologize for Mr. Anthony's uncultured behavior. I will be handling this case now”He taps Jason on his shoulder. He would've bowed 90 degrees to him if the Mayor didn't warn him about not treating Jason specially in front of others. Jason understands what he needs to do, he smiles coolly. “He didn't give me the chance to explain myself, I am happy that you are here now, and you are taking the case personally, the person behind this would be revealed soon”Theodore nods repeatedly as he approaches Mr Antho
The tension in the scene was palpable, the young master’s grip tightening around Summer’s neck as her face contorted with discomfort. Jason’s calm voice broke through the chaos, low and steady but laced with warning. “Let her go.”At that moment The young master turned to Jason, his expression a mixture of arrogance and disdain. “And if I don’t?” he sneered. “What are you going to do about it?”However Jason didn’t respond immediately, his sharp gaze fixed on the man. Summer’s breaths grew shallow, her panic evident in her red eyes. The young master, clearly enjoying the moment, smirked as he applied more pressure. “See? You can’t—”Before he could finish his sentence, Jason was suddenly there, his hand gripping the young master’s wrist with a force that made him wince. The speed of Jason’s movement had left the young master—and everyone watching—stunned.They couldn't believe how he got their so fast.“What the—” the young master stammered, his face twisting in shock as Jason held h
Hearing the voice Jason stood still, his body relaxed but ready, as the man across from him snarled, his fists trembling with pent-up rage.“You’ll regret this,” the man spat, his voice dripping with venom.Immediately He took a step closer, his eyes wild with anger.At that moment Jason cocked his head slightly, his gaze steady and almost bored. “Regret?” he asked, his tone calm but cutting. “I don’t think you’ve thought this through before depriving everyone from entering as if you owns the place.”Hearing what Jason just said.The man scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer. “You talk big, but let’s see what you can actually do.” Without waiting for a response, he lunged forward, swinging a flurry of punches aimed at Jason’s face.However Jason moved effortlessly, stepping just out of reach each time. This guy’s swings are wild, no focus, all brute force. Typical Amateur. He dodged another strike, his eyes locked on the man’s every move.“Is that it?” Jason said, his voice laced wi
The burly man’s face twisted with irritation as Jason maintained his firm grip on his wrist. Immediately his eyes narrowed, a mixture of anger and disbelief flashing across his features. “I’m warning you,” he growled, his voice low and menacing. “Let me go before you regret it.”However Jason’s expression remained calm, his grip steady but not aggressive. “Not until you move aside,” he said evenly. “We’re here for a reason, and you don’t have the authority to block us.”Upon hearing what Jason just said The crowd around them murmured quietly, tension rippling through the air. The man shifted his stance, trying to pull his arm free, but Jason’s hold didn’t waver. The quiet strength in Jason’s demeanor only seemed to unsettle him further.At that moment Summer, sensing the brewing storm, quickly stepped forward, her tone light but firm. “Jason, it’s fine,” she said, placing a hand on his arm. “We don’t need to make this a bigger deal than it is.”At that moment Jason glanced at her,
At that moment Jason had just turned the key in the ignition, ready to leave, when a figure appeared out of nowhere, standing in his way. He hit the brakes instinctively and blinked, his calm demeanor briefly giving way to surprise.It was Summer.She stood there with her arms crossed, her expression unreadable as she looked at him through the windshield. At that moment Jason’s heart missed a beat. “What the hell is she doing here?”Rolling the window down, Jason leaned out slightly. “Summer?” he asked, his voice carrying a mix of shock and confusion. “What are you doing here?”Immediately Summer walked over, her steps measured, her face perfectly calm—as if she hadn’t just appeared out of nowhere. “What? Surprised to see me?” she said with a faint smirk.Hearing what summer just said .Jason narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to get a read on her. “Did you—” He hesitated. “Did you see all of that?”Summer tilted her head, feigning innocence. “See what?” she replied nonchalant
At that moment Camila stepped out of the car, her heels clicking on the pavement, her expression a mixture of surprise and curiosity. “Grandfather?” she called out, her tone sharp. “What are you doing here? Why did you come?” didn’t answer her immediately. Instead, he turned his attention to Jason, his sharp eyes studying him for a brief moment before extending a hand.Jason, unfazed by the unexpected formality, shook his hand firmly.“I’ve heard good things about you,” her grandfather said, his tone calm but laced with curiosity. He glanced at the car behind Jason, his eyes lingering on the sleek Mercedes G-Wagon. “Impressive vehicle.”Jason nodded politely, his expression neutral. “Thank you, sir.”At that moment Camila folded her arms, her frustration mounting. “Grandfather, why are you here?” she pressed, her voice carrying a slight edge. “You don’t just show up like this.”At that moment Her grandfather finally turned to her, his expression unreadable. “The school management
At that moment Jason’s calm words seemed to hang in the air, leaving the group momentarily stunned. “Bring the car around,” he had said, as though it was the most natural thing in the world. But to everyone else, it was absurd, they couldn't believe what they just heard.“Did he just… call for a car?” one of the boys whispered, his disbelief evident. “Jason? The guy who probably doesn’t even own a scooter?”Another laughed, the sound sharp and mocking. “What car is he talking about? Is he hoping a taxi will count as his ride now?”The murmurs quickly turned into open insults, their frustration boiling over. “Jason’s at it again,” someone said loudly, shaking their head. “Always trying to save face. What’s next? Claiming he owns the building too?”At that moment Robert, sensing an opportunity to fuel the fire, stepped forward with a smug grin. He looked directly at Jason, his voice loud and condescending enough for everyone to hear. “You know, Jason, you’ll never change, will yo
However Camila’s gaze stayed fixed on Natalie, her expression cold but controlled. “Apologies,” she said, her voice firm and deliberate, “are best done on knees. That is, if the person apologizing is reasonable enough.”Upon hearing what Camilla just Said.Natalie’s face burned with humiliation, but the weight of Camila’s words left her with no room for defiance. She glanced around, searching for even a shred of support from the boys, but all of them avoided her gaze. Slowly, reluctantly, she dropped to her knees, her head bowed low.“I’m sorry,” Natalie said, her voice trembling, though she tried to sound composed. “I shouldn’t have said all those words. Please forgive me.”The boys exchanged awkward glances, clearly uncomfortable but unwilling to challenge Camila. One of them finally cleared his throat, trying to ease the tension. “Alright, she has apologized. Let’s just cover her bill and move on.”Another nodded quickly, eager to move past the awkwardness. “Yeah, we can handle
At that moment The room fell into an awkward silence, the earlier mockery evaporating as Jason’s calm declaration settled over everyone. The group exchanged uneasy glances, disbelief etched across their faces.“Did he really just say he’s got this?” one whispered, leaning toward his friend.“There’s no way,” another murmured, shaking his head. “Jason doesn’t have that kind of money. What’s he playing at?”Jason, seemingly unfazed.‘His expression remained calm, but his mind wasn’t as quiet. They think they’ve cornered me. Let them think what they want. They’ll see soon enough.’At that moment Camila’s voice cut through the room like a knife. “Wait.”All heads turned toward her. The tension thickened as she reached into her purse, pulled out her own sleek black card, and tossed it onto the tray with a sharp flick of her wrist. The waiter froze, glancing between Jason and Camila.“I’ll pay,” she said firmly, her tone brooking no argument.Jason paused mid-motion,His eyes met Camila’s,
Upon seeing what Camilla just did.The room was suffocating with unspoken tension, the weight of past revelations still lingering in the air. At t that moment Camila’s voice rose, clear and steady, demanding attention without raising its volume.“Enough,” she said again firmly, stepping forward. Her heels clicked against the floor, drawing every eyes to her. “What’s done is done. The past doesn’t matter anymore—it’s gone, and it’s staying that way. What matters is what a person can offer now, and in the future.”Immediately her gaze swept the room, locking onto each face, daring anyone to argue, but none said anything they were still shocked to what was happening.At that moment she turned to Jason, her expression softening slightly. “And when I look at Jason,” she continued, “I see someone who’s got a bright future ahead of him.”Hearing what Camilla just said.Natalie couldn't help but shake her head.She couldn't believe what she was hearing, how can Camilla say such nonsense, c
