They were indeed unable to refuse the orders issued by Christian. But they, especially Darrell, felt very hesitant to do so. Therefore, Darrell did not say anything to agree with what Christian had commanded.Upon receiving that response, Mr. Demetri furrowed his brow. He found Darrell’s behavior strange.“What’s wrong, Darrell? Is there something you want to ask, or something that makes you hesitate?” Christian inquired.Darrell nodded very slowly and with great hesitation.“I apologize beforehand, Mr. Demetri, if I offend your feelings,” Darrell said.Christian smiled strangely, then said, “Sure, go ahead, speak your mind. I won’t be offended, don’t worry!”Darrell nodded. Then he glanced briefly at Diego and Alex and returned his gaze to Christian.“Gideon Young is a member of the Young Family. That family is one of the 5 major families in US that can determine US’s fate. Simply put, they are influential figures who are difficult to touch,” Darrell explained.Christian had heard ab
As Darrell had suspected, Gideon had a cunning plan to help Ravon defeat Christian.“Just make sure you prepare yourself, train hard, and don’t be reckless. Don’t think you’re stronger than that guy. If you lose, I’ll kill you! Remember that!” Gideon exclaimed.Ravon nodded, saying, “I am ready to sacrifice myself to save the honor of the Young Family.”“But don’t forget to find Claudia. Don’t let her escape for too long. I don’t want her to spill the beans to the media. If she does that, Daddy will kill me,” Gideon reminded.“Don’t worry, Sir. I always complete the tasks given to me. This time will be no different; I will handle it!” Ravon confidently declared.Gideon nodded his head towards the door, signaling Ravon to leave the room.Ravon understood and immediately bid farewell, exiting Gideon’s room.***Accompanied by Dorota, Christian headed towards the summit to meet the old man he encountered in the underground martial arts arena the night before.“Who does Mr. Demetri want t
The attack launched by Lee was truly unexpected for all of them. There were no signs that the old man was evil and wanted to harm Christian.Dorota, who was about to flee, abandoned her intention when she saw Christian being hit by Lee’s attack, causing him to be thrown and hit the wall.She wanted desperately to help Christian, but there was also a deep fear as she observed Lee’s figure. How could it be? Christian, a person who could be thrown by a punch from Lee.Christian held his stomach, which was hit by Lee’s attack, while trying to stand.“Mr. Lee! What are you doing? Why are you attacking me? Have I offended you?” Christian asked, still thinking positively and not believing that the old man was someone evil.The serious expression on Lee’s face since earlier now turned into a smile.Dorota, seeing the old man smile, immediately felt disgusted. Right now, she wished she could vomit on Lee’s face.“I’ve said it, haven’t I? You have natural talent and inherited the power of natur
Yang Lee didn’t expect Christian to have such a strong enthusiasm for learning martial arts. Even with the demonstration of his natural abilities, Christian didn’t feel arrogant at all and believed that he didn’t need to practice anymore.However, it was quite the opposite; he was eager to quickly learn martial arts to improve his weaknesses.“Are you sure you want to start now?” Lee asked.Christian nodded firmly and said, “I’m very serious! If not now, then when?”Christian understood that learning martial arts couldn’t be accomplished in a short time. Achieving each level required a long process, sometimes spanning decades.One reason why most martial arts masters are elderly is the lengthy learning period.Lee glanced at the reddening sky, indicating that it was already 5 in the evening.“Alright then, let’s start with the first lesson. Come with me!” Lee said, standing up and walking towards the side of his house, then turning to the back.Christian and Dorota stood up immediatel
Previously, Claudia had high hopes for Christian. She believed that only he could help her resolve this issue.Claudia always thought that her future life would become complicated. Surely, Gideon Young wouldn’t let her go easily, fearing that Claudia might expose his wrongdoing.To avoid Gideon Young’s henchmen, Claudia couldn’t even turn on her phone. She only activated it this afternoon and received a message from Yve. However, it wasn’t just any message that connected them; there were numerous unknown numbers attempting to call or send messages, some with just the letter “P.”But now, Darrell asked her to cover up this problem, or more precisely, forget about it.“Don’t worry, my men will watch over you 24/7 and follow you wherever you go. So, you’ll be safe,” Darrell assured her.Claudia took a deep breath with her eyes closed.After contemplating for a moment, she nodded and said, “Alright, I will keep this issue from Mr. Demetri. I’m also aware of the potential danger if Mr. Dem
Yve’s expression turned grim. Her face reddened as she held back her anger.‘If only we didn’t consider each other as family, I would have lost my temper by now,’ Yve thought.“Aunt, I think all women are like that. Let’s forget about this issue. Besides, there’s no concrete evidence regarding the relationship between Yve and the Protector. That way, our family’s reputation remains intact,” Orion suggested.“That’s true. Let’s just forget about it. Let Yve handle her problems. Even if she is indeed a mistress, it seems we won’t be affected,” added Marigold.Larina nodded, saying, “Yes, it won’t impact our family if there’s no evidence. If there is, our family’s reputation will be tarnished. It will certainly affect the image of De Delta Company.”Then, Larina turned her gaze to Yve and said, “You should keep your relationship like this, hidden, and make sure there’s no evidence. If it gets exposed, you’ll harm the company once again. I don’t want that to happen!”Orion and Marigold’s
Dorota couldn’t believe what Yang Lee said. In her mind, there was only one thing: she had to take Christian to a real doctor for proper treatment, not some dubious doctor with unclear methods.But Lee paid no heed to her thoughts. He called his youngest daughter to bring a potion he had prepared when Christian was undergoing his first training.Earlier, Lee had anticipated that Christian would run out of energy during the training. However, he didn’t expect it to be this severe.“Drink this!” Lee said to Christian.Christian complied, taking a clay cup and sipping the potion Lee handed him.“Finish it!” Lee exclaimed.Despite its bitter taste, Christian forced himself to drink it. He fully trusted the old man.After finishing it, Christian lay down again.Gradually, Christian’s face returned to normal, and he looked healthier. The pallor was gone.“Come on, let’s go to the doctor. I was worr... oh... Mr. Demetri, are you okay now? You’re not pale anymore,” Dorota was surprised to see
Confidently, Val walked towards Yve.Yve’s appearance was quite different from the last time he saw her. Yve now looked much more beautiful, exuding charisma that could make any man weak at the knees in front of her.Especially now, Yve often appeared on television and YouTube ads after starring in the Pommes Frites commercial.“Hello, Yve! How are you?” greeted Val, standing in front of Yve’s table.She lifted her head with eyes that seemed heavy.“Who are you?” Yve asked, her vision starting to blur due to the dim lighting and the influence of alcohol.Hearing Yve’s question, John’s three subordinates were ready to intervene. However, they fell silent as Val explained who he was.“It’s me, Val, your high school friend. We used to share a table. Do you remember?” Val tried to jog Yve’s memory.Yve looked surprised. Then she tried to open her eyes wider, and...“Oh, you’re Val, the one who rejected my love back then? Ah, you were so mean!” Yve said loudly, her words slightly slurred d
