“Ray won the second round! He tied it up!” Althon shouted as he took a few steps forward. He saw the crowd cheering and snickering at each other. “Brody and Ray have one more chance to win!”Althon glanced at Brody briefly. “Will Brody remain the undefeated king or will the title disappear when Ray wins the match?”Ray smiled broadly, laughing. “I know it works this way. He lost his focus and composure after I told him a fake story! I don't regret paying some people to get information about him.”Brody looked down, watching his hands which were shaking violently. His eyes glazed over as he recalled the terrible memories of his father and his past. “I killed Dad? I'm so sorry!”Brody's supporters looked disappointed as they sneered and shouted at him. Ray's supporters burst out laughing as Brody remained silent. “Look who's the loser in front of me!” Ray stood up from his chair, raising both hands high. “I'm the one who's going to win this race!”Ray's supporters erupted in cheers, ch
The restaurant was getting busier by the hour. Cars were parked on the side of the road. People kept coming into the restaurant, crowding the front lawn. Some pedestrians stopped to check things out. At the same time, Ton, Res, and the restaurant owners watched from across the street. They looked increasingly annoyed at the crowd. As long as they had opened the restaurant and bakery, they had never had that many customers. “Damn! That punk is getting a lot of benefits today! People keep coming to that restaurant! I even heard that some people purposely came from out of town to watch the game.”Res pounded the pavement, grunting in annoyance. “Shit! This is making me so sick!”“Calm down, Res! We'll see their destruction soon enough!” said a restaurant owner though he wasn't sure of his own words. “Those punks got away with our plan because we didn't involve the customers! When the gas disperses in a crowded room, the restaurant's customers will fall and be chaotic. Those two punks
“Alvin!” Kevin kept shouting as he waved his arms. “He is indeed Alvin. My guess all this time wasn't wrong. I'm glad I got to meet him.”“Wait!” Kevin approached the side of the rooftop, observing the figure of a man in a janitor's uniform on the side rooftop closely. “Alvin works as a janitor in the building. He... seems to have suffered the same fate as me. I need to meet and talk to him right away.”“You can't do that, Kevin,” said a man behind Kevin. “Your sentence will increase if you break the rules.”Kevin turned around. “Please give me time to talk to my friend. I'm not going to run away. I just need a little time. Please.”“No.” The bodyguard refused. “Do your duty well so that your sentence will end soon. You will get a reduced sentence if you work and behave well.”Kevin clenched his fists tightly, closing his eyes. He was almost crazy working as a janitor in this building. It wasn't that he didn't get paid, but he was often treated badly by the employees and the principal
Randy, Ronald, and Max looked at each other. “We honestly came to visit them. We'll see them soon,” Randy replied. Linda turned her head to the side. “Do you also want to meet Alvin, Alicia?”Alicia gasped, clenching her fists tightly. She remembered how annoying Linda had been on Mande Island. “What a bitch! I would have slapped her if she wasn't my former schoolteacher,” she muttered angrily. Randy, Ronald, and Max were stunned, observing a woman in a round hat sitting next to them. Alicia took off her hat and smiled. “Miss Linda, you foiled my surprise. I wanted to surprise Randy, Ronald, and Max.”“Gosh, I'm sorry.” Linda laughed. “I wondered if Randy, Ronald, and Max already knew where you were, Alicia.”“Never mind that, Miss Linda. I was just joking.” Alicia chuckled softly, cursing Linda silently. Linda received a call, standing up from the chair. “I have to go now. I have an important job. We'll talk soon.”Lingga left the cafe, watching Alicia, Randy, Ronald, and Max fo
Ronny rushed to gather all the members in the building. “My father just sent me a message. He's on his way to Paulcity right now. He's likely to arrive this afternoon. We need to prepare for his security.”The Red Sting members nodded, spreading out around. They immediately contacted the other members.Ronny called Gon, kicking a chair until it was thrown and smashed on the floor. “You bastard! Gon still hasn't picked up my calls and returned my messages! What on earth is he doing right now?”Ronny sat down on the sofa, calming down. “Dad must have some important news right now. I'm glad he's coming, but at the same time, I'm afraid things are turning chaotic. I just heard that someone attacked Dad after my and the others' departure from Snowacity the other day.”Meanwhile, The match between Brody and Ray was still in progress. The crowd cheered even more, eagerly awaiting the winner. Brody and Ray were both unwilling to give in to their opponents. The match time had reached ten minut
Brody's supporters cheered as Ray winced in pain. At the same time, Ray's supporters cursed loudly, not accepting the result. “Shit!” Ray held his hand. “That piece of trash broke my hand. I can barely move my right hand.”The two fans began to fight, causing some items to be thrown. Gon punched a few spectators who got in his way. He headed for the exit, watching Brody. “I'll be back to recruit you, Brody.”Althon watched Gon leave, turning to Brody. “You did your job very well. I'd like to fight with you someday.”“Shut your mouth, asshole!” Brody was breathing heavily. “You got me in trouble! You have to give me that reward money!”“Get some rest now, Brody. You should prepare to talk to Ali and the others,” Althon said as he signaled Ali.“Ah, so the leader of the watchers is named Ali.” Brody smiled, falling silent as Ali looked at him without blinking. “Damn, she scares me even just looking at me. I'm even more curious to talk to her later.”The guards quickly beat back the c
"You have only one chance to correct your mistakes during your training. If you fail again, you will face two consequences. First, you will lose your memory of our group, or second, you will lose your life," Ali explained with a flat expression. Brody was immediately shocked, straightening his back and quickly closing his mouth. Ali and the guards just sat and stood near him, but they managed to make him feel immense pressure."You still have one question left and thirty-seven minutes. You're not very good at using your opportunities. You're careless."Brody clenched his fists tightly. He thought hard to come up with the best question. He had prepared a list of questions for tonight's meeting. However, he suddenly felt stupid for using up his chances."Damn, I'm so nervous that I acted foolishly! What should I ask him?" Brody muttered, his fists clenched tightly.Brody remained silent for several minutes. Time kept slipping away without any conversation. Ali and the guards said nothi
Alan paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh. "I'm deeply sorry, Master, because I bring both good and bad news.""I can't predict the future," Anthony replied with a weak smile. "Alright, let's hear the good news first, Alan.""The search team has located one of Master Arthur's trusted associates, Master. They are scheduled to meet with him at a certain place tonight."Anthony smiled. "This is truly excellent news. I hope he has information about Arthur's other trusted people."Suddenly, Anthony fell silent. "And what’s the bad news, Alan?""This bad news is unfortunately related to Master Arthur's associate. Mr. Arnold and the others have sent their forces to capture him, Master.""What?" Anthony clenched his frail fist. "They are truly outrageous.""Master Arthur's trusted person, named Raka, has ties to a gang called Red Sting. Mr. Arnold's forces massacred members of that group to gather information about Raka."Alan paused for a moment, then continued, "They also ordered a
