2024-05-31 11:50:39Bryce immediately picked up the call without waiting any longer. The voice heard from the unknown call was the sweet voice of a woman.
"Hello, am I talking to Mr Bryce Milano?"
Bryce was now curious. Many questions crossed his head. He didn't feel like he recognised the woman's voice, but strangely, she even knew Bryce's full name.
"Yes, I am Bryce. But is it okay to know who I'm talking to now?"
Bryce was seen turning around and stepping away while talking on the phone. It made Levi and Lexy curious as to who the man was calling.
"I'm Tamara. I know you have a lot of questions right now, but trust me, I can answer anything that crosses your mind right now. Meet and come to me, then you will know everything. But before that, I also need your help. Think of it as an equal exchange."
As Bryce heard the sentence from the woman, he became even curious.
"Well, you can assume that I agree to your offer. But what can I do? At least tell me what things you want from me," Bryce responded to feel more confident that he was not being pranked.
"Okay, if you agree. I think I'll tell you when we meet in person. I'll send you the details of the time and location after the call ends. I hope that we meet there."
Bryce heard Tamara say that in a bit of a rush. As he tried to respond, the sound of the call being disconnected could be heard. Now, the call between the two
A moment later, Bryce turned around and, to his surprise, found Levi and Lexy still there. They were like someone burning with curiosity and decided to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"You guys are still here, apparently," Bryce sneered when he caught the two.
"You are an insolent son-in-law. How dare you ignore us and talk to another woman instead," said an annoyed Lexy.
"Yes, what a rubbish man! His attitude is so poor. I bet that woman on the call must be his mistress. Perhaps that woman is Bryce's new potential victim. Maybe this is why Veronica finally agreed to divorce a husband like him. If the media knew about this, it would be a scandal. Thank God we dodged the bullet," said Levi, who again scoffed and chastised Bryce.
"Don't say anything careless. But I must admit that you have a sharp ear for someone who is also trash. Besides, I don't even recognise the woman who called me now. If you're talking about loyalty, I don't think it's necessary to question me. Because I'm so loyal to Veronica and willing to sacrifice for her, the thing I heard about her is the man who will take my place as a husband. What is his name? Mr Jaxon?" Bryce responded with a sarcastic tone that gave the impression that he was reversing the insults thrown at him.
Bryce could see Lexy's facial expression turning sour. Her face even turned red as if feeling very embarrassed.
"So I'm sorry, but if you're questioning loyalty, I think the person is..." Before Bryce could finish his sentence, Lexy threw her hand in the air and slapped Bryce with full force.
"Mum!" Bryce shouted in a raised tone.
"This is the last time you get that hand in my face. Next time you do that, I'll make sure that even if you're a woman, you'll get what's coming to you," the man continued in a cold tone.
As Bryce walked away from the two, Levi, who felt unacceptable for his attitude showed to the two, then immediately grabbed Bryce's hand from behind. Instantly, the necklace Bryce had been holding in his pocket was thrown and fell to the ground.
"Whoa, whoa, what's this?" said Levi with a facial expression that pretended to be surprised.
"You said you didn't take anything, but it looks like someone lied and stole the necklace secretly," the man continued to insult Bryce.
"Give it back quickly. I didn't steal that necklace. How can I steal something that belongs to me?" Bryce responded, trying to take the necklace from Levi's hand.
Now, both of them seemed to be struggling with each other in taking the necklace. Both Bryce and Levi both want to keep the necklace in their hands. As a result, they are now pulling the chain on the necklace.
Because such a small object could not match the power of the two adult men, the necklace broke and fell to the ground.
"Damn you. Can't you just let me go easily? I've been trying to be modest and follow your wishes, but I'm getting this instead," muttered Bryce, who felt his heart breaking as his most precious object was broken just like that.
Bryce then picked up his broken necklace. He felt very sad because the only reminder of his family was was also taken from his hands.
"You guys are so mean!" muttered Bryce as he picked up the broken necklace.
But something strange happened in a split second. Something seemed to have just passed quickly in Bryce's daydream. Instantly, the man's head hurt, and many things seemed to fill his mind slowly.
"A trashy guy like you finally fell, too. For some time, you were quite proud of yourself. I'm sick of seeing useless, weak men like you being so arrogant," Levi said with pleasure as he bullied Bryce.
The man then decided to leave. Lexy, who was proud of her son, also felt there was nothing more to discuss with Bryce. They walked away with smiles on their faces.
Smash!
"Aww fuck! How dare you!" Levi shouted as two powerful punches landed on his face.
Whimpering in pain, Levi saw that Bryce's eyes seemed to change colour.

"You bastard! How dare you throw your despicable hand in my face," Levi replied angrily.Lexy, who saw her son get hit, felt upset. The woman said, "Bryce, how dare you. You dare to hit my son. You will get what you deserve."Levi and Lexy were honestly very surprised by Bryce's actions. They knew that even if Bryce were bullied, the man would never retaliate with violence."Mum, I'm sorry, but I can't wait any longer. Rubbish men like Bryce will go downhill if left unchecked. I'm going to retaliate directly with my hand to let men like him know where they stand," Levi said with a hateful look.Bryce was still silent there, the man staring at the two with a contemptuous look. He even did not reply to a single word of the words thrown at him.The man calmly watched as Levi clenched his fists and stepped forward, trying to attack him. Although Levi's movements looked quite skilful for an amateur, in a split second, Bryce seemed to be able to see the pattern the man would take so that he

The moment they saw her coming, people were stunned. The menacing look in her eyes made the atmosphere tense.Levi and Lexy also felt confused by the woman's figure as she seemed unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. Bryce looked at the woman's appearance from bottom to top, and he smiled. Although he did not recognise the woman before him, her character was so strong that it made the security guards helpless."Hi, miss..." Bryce returned the woman's greeting as if they were already acquainted."I'm Tamara Reed, the person who called you earlier," the woman said gracefully.Levi and Lexy, who saw the woman's figure, were amazed at her beauty, but at the same time, they were annoyed that another intruder was blocking their plans."Oh. I see. Nice to meet you. What's so urgent that you came to see me here? Earlier you said we would meet somewhere. I've already received the location's address, but it looks like you're the one who approached me. I wonder how you could find my location

When Bryce heard that, he was shocked."Are you serious? Don't try to fool me. If this is an attempted scam, I'll make sure it doesn't end well for you," Bryce said incredulously.Tamara sighed. The woman looked a little flustered but tried to appear confident."Sir, I am not lying. Everything I said just now has a solid foundation. If you have any doubts, come with me. My car is parked across the street. I can prove my words."Feeling he had no other options, Bryce finally decided to follow Tamara. He still showed a cautious attitude."Sir, what are you waiting for standing there? Let's get in the car," Tamara assured Bryce.He looked around, making sure there were no other threats that might harm him in the car.A relieved Bryce said, "So what proof are you going to show me?"Tamara picked up a box from the back seat and gave it to the man beside her."What is this?" asked Bryce in confusion."The answer you seek," Tamara replied.Bryce immediately opened the box, and he was confuse

Soon, the car was on its way to one of the top designer boutiques in town. Tamara drove the car with great excitement, and Bryce could see the smile on the beautiful woman's face."Sir, we've arrived. Let's get off!" said a delighted Tamara.A slightly confused Bryce responded, "Tamara, why are we stopping here? I thought you would take me straight to the Milano residence."Tamara was about to laugh when she heard that innocent sentence, but she quickly controlled herself."Sir, apologies if I'm presumptuous, but you might be able to see your appearance," she said."What's wrong with my appearance? I'm wearing normal clothes," Bryce said innocently."Well, that's the right analysis. That's precisely the problem. You look too ordinary. People won't think you're special looking like this. I'm sure they won't believe a word you say or care what you have to say," Tamara explains.Bryce could only stare at that. He did not understand some of the rich people's game rules."The clothes you'r

As the store guards dragged Bryce out of there, he tried to give some explanations so that the manager would not involve the police."Maam, I am one of the customers at your shop. Why am I being discriminated against and treated like this?"The manager was stunned and then looked Bryce up and down."Liar! That's not possible. That guy can't possibly afford to buy clothes at this particular designer store," the woman who created the commotion reappeared there."My lover's words must be true. I'm pretty sure this man sneaked in to do something bad," the man who was the woman's partner chimed in.The Manager felt that what they were saying was very true."Judging by his appearance, there's no way this guy can afford any of our collection," she mused.As the Manager, she immediately took a mobile phone from her pocket to make a call, but Bryce intercepted it immediately."I'm sorry if my actions were presumptuous. But you should listen to me too. I am indeed a new customer here. If you do

After sorting things out at the designer store, Bryce and Tamara left. Both felt visibly satisfied and happy."If I'd known they would patronise you like that, I would have acted earlier. I thought you were still having fun trying on clothes in that special room. I should have felt suspicious because there was so much time wasted," Tamara says, lamenting Bryce's situation."Tamara, it's okay. You don't have to feel upset or guilty. I think this is a way for me to learn about real life," he responded casually."Very well. But it's still a good thing I saw the staff serving you earlier and was able to react immediately. Otherwise, it might not have ended well for you," she said."Guess I'm lucky to have someone as trustworthy and reliable as you," Bryce said proudly.Tamara smiles briefly at the sentence. The two are now back in the car with some shopping bags.Tring!A call interrupted her before she could switch on the car's engine.Tamara looked at Bryce and said, "Let me take this c

"Miss, I trust him. I will take full responsibility if anything happens to my husband," Tamara said firmly.Leah, as a nurse, was not pleased. "Maam, please don't block my way. You can't do this as you please. There are procedures and rules in this hospital. I have to stop that man before your husband's condition cannot be saved.""What a funny phrase! You guys go overboard when prescribing medicine for patients, then have the nerve to say that this hospital is the best in town?" Bryce sneered."What you said is slander!" Leah looked shaken.Indeed, David's treating doctor, Nolan Houston, over-prescribed medication for him. Leah found out, and Nolan gave her money to keep her quiet.She wondered, "Does this man already know about it? In that case, I should stop the treatment!"Leah believed that Bryce had no medical skills. She was worried that Bryce would accidentally kill David and the police would get involved in the matter. If the police investigate and find the cause of death, No

Looking at the angry Gabriel, Nolan smiled haughtily. He believed Bryce was in serious trouble now.Bryce frowned. He wanted to take the man out and hit him, but he realised that the man was Gabriel.Bryce heard that Gabriel is a great doctor."Don't be so quick to judge." Bryce said indifferently, "Look!" His treatment process had almost reached the final stage; he had to finish it soon.Gabriel ignored Bryce's words and still insisted on stopping him. However, Bryce's hand moved so quickly that Gabriel was dumbfounded."Well..." Gabriel looked hesitant.His speed seemed to tell Gabriel that Bryce understood what he was doing.Gabriel observes Bryce and realises that Bryce's treatment methods are mysterious, strange, and effective.

"Where's your sword? Hurry up and take it out. Otherwise, people will think I'm bullying you."Ruben was surprised to see that Bryce was not carrying any weapons."Sword?"Bryce smiled faintly. He clenched his fists and used his Internal Force to pick up the branch that had thrown him to the floor."Do you want to fight me with that branch?"Ruben's face became grim.Ruben thought that Bryce was patronising him."I have a sword in my heart, so everything can be my sword." Bryce said faintly."What are you showing off for?"Ruben was angry. "You're showing off for being talented in Sword Skills."However, if you dare to show off in our fight, I will make you regret it."All your words are nonsense."Ruben started to move after finishing his sentence.He pointed his sword at Bryce.Bryce smiled faintly as Ruben's sword was about to stab him.

The roar of the swords filled the air, as if they wanted to rebel from their owner's grasp.All the participants exchanged confused and anxious looks.They didn't know what had happened.Everyone started thinking about what was really going on in their minds.The crowd gasped, suddenly turning their heads towards Bryce in unison.After Bryce performed his technique, strange things began to happen.It was because Bryce had mastered all the techniques and reached the Expert Phase.It was only natural that Bryce was recognised as a genius in Sword Skills.The weapons have energy and they want a strong owner.Bryce's strength was great enough to pull those weapons. All the weapons were eager to serve Bryce.The three judges widened their eyes in disbelief."Is this the Expert Phase?" Owen muttered."Mr Woolley, do you think Bryce is amazing? Genius. Would you believe that Bryce could reach the Expert Phase just by reading a book once? Oh, my goodness." Brewster said excitedly. Allen was s

As soon as they entered, they noticed Bryce.Bryce was still too young. There was no doubt that he stood out the most among the few Brawlers who took the exam. It was hard to ignore him.They also doubted Bryce's strength and wondered if Bryce was an Expert.However, this will only be known once the second round begins.If Bryce did not have the strength of an Expert and came to play around, Bryce would receive severe punishment.Hence, they all just observed Bryce without harbouring any dislike for him.However, when they saw that Bryce was just randomly flipping through books and not cultivating Sword Skill techniques, they became angry.According to them, Bryce did not pay attention to the exam at all.They think Bryce is just playing around here.They considered Bryce's behaviour to be disrespectful to the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute.At this time, Brewster who was in charge of the first round of the exam asked Bryce, "Why don't you cultivate the Sword Skill technique?""I've

She was in charge of receiving people taking the Sword Skills teacher exam at the door.The pe

As long as you have the ability, you will be rewarded, and even have the opportunity to run for leadership in the future."To get Veronica to join the Carter Royal Family, Jaime added some tantalising conditions.After all, it's just a verbal promise, it won't affect anything.Veronica was rather excited after hearing Jaime's words.Veronica believes that she can continue to be stronger and achieve a lot within the Carter Royal Family as long as she

A collection of several Eternity Maps can gain eternal life.That voice rang through Bryce's mind.Instantly, Bryce's face changed.Eternal life?Is there really a way to live forever in this world?Before hearing the words spoken by the Great King earlier, Bryce had doubted that, and now that he had obtained the Immortality Map that could make people live forever, that made him doubt even more.After thinking about it for a while, Bryce stopped thinking about it.Since there is no answer now, there is no need to think about it.Also, he is not interested in immortality.However, he still kept the Eternity Map, as he thought it might come in handy one day."I have to go." He muttered, then disappeared.As they watched Bryce leave, Liam and Henley looked elated."He only took a piece of silk paper. He doesn't want anything else? That's great."

After saying that, Bryce attacked the Great King statue with a stronger stream of Internal Force."There is no way you can kill me. I'm an expert at the ninth peak, even though I'm only a thought."The statue roared and tried its best to deflect Bryce's power.However, the statue's efforts were in vain. He was instantly defeated by this Internal Force."No. I don't want to. I can't die. I want to be stronger than the Great King."Little by little, his body turned to ash until it disappeared."You are at the ninth peak, but I am an Expert at the Peak Stage."As soon as Bryce spoke, the statue began to disappear."I am only a form of mind. If the Great King revives one day, he will take revenge for me."When the statue was about to disappear completely, he roared loudly with all his strength.After saying that, his body completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.Liam and the others were so shocked th
