"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 could guess the attack easily.

"How could he dodge my punches?"

"Come here motherfucker! I will end you." Levi immediately threw a kick with a confident look on his face.

"I could read his movement," Bryce muttered.

He caught Levi's kick that made the man lose his balance, and reflexively, Bryce sent a slap with the back of his hand. The attack may have seemed trivial, but with the speed and strength Bryce concentrated into the back of his palm, it was more than enough to send Levi flying several metres away.

"Levi!" the woman screamed as she saw her son's condition stagger through the air before falling to the ground.

"Bryce, you will pay for this."

Lexy immediately stepped towards. She also gave Bryce a merciless glare. But something amazing happened.

Bryce also threw the same terrifying gaze as the woman. Even Bryce's gaze was much more like a killing machine that instantly made Lexy's whole body stiff and unable to move.

"What happened to me?"

No matter how hard the woman tried to move, she lost control of her body. Lexy, helpless in the end, directed every remaining energy to scream. The woman felt so scared being around Bryce. She had never seen her son-in-law like this before.

"HELP!" the woman's voice echoed throughout the building's parking lot.

Levi, who saw his mother helpless, then tried to get up. The man's body seemed numb, but he did not give up.

"Bryce, stop all this. If Veronica finds out you're torturing us like this, she'll hate you for the rest of her life," Levi shouted in a threatening tone.

Bryce, who heard his wife's name, instantly recalled all the sweet moments they shared. He remembers how his heart fell and how his life changed because of the love he felt. Veronica's love made Bryce finally feel like a complete man.

"I see it now."

Bryce instantly controlled his emotions. The aura that came out of his body slowly faded. It made the tense aura that had enveloped the place normal again.

Bryce saw his brother-in-law lying helplessly on the ground. The man realised that part of Levi's face was swollen from the attack he had made. Bryce even seemed to smile a little at that.

But soon, some security who had heard Lexy's screams finally rushed over and approached them.

Lexy, who felt weak, shouted, "Help me, help us, sir. That barbaric man just did something bad. You guys secure that man now," screamed Lexy, who did not give up on the situation.

The security leader who was between them was stunned. The man had been staring at Lexy and Levi's faces. He felt that the faces of the two people before him looked familiar.

There was no need to wait any longer; something felt connected in his brain. The security leader instantly realised who the woman lying there was.

"That woman is Veronica Carter's mother. Well, I'm sure of it. If it's true, this is a golden opportunity for me. My son is trying his luck by applying for a job at Miss Veronica's glorious company. If I can satisfy this woman's wishes, I might get lucky. My family's fortunes could change," the man mused happily.

Immediately, the security leader replied, "Take it easy, Miss Carter. I will try my best. You can consider this matter resolved."

The man then yelled to his fellow standing behind him, "You arrest and incapacitate that man. If he even resists, you may break his arms and legs."

Some of the security guards were stunned. Some of them even doubted the decision. But they had no choice but to follow the orders of their leader.

The security immediately swarmed Bryce from all directions. They all gave each other codes indicating they would ambush Bryce with one attack.

"You're all crazy. How can you follow that woman's orders without checking her words first?" Bryce protested against the ridiculousness he was facing.

"Shut up! It's obvious they are the oppressed victims here," the security leader responded.

"Take that man down now!" the man continued.

As the security guards were in the middle of launching an attack, the sound of a car entering the basement of the car park was heard with a loud honk. It instantly drew the attention of everyone, including Bryce, Levy, Lexy and the security guards.

A woman exited the car with high heels and a dress made by a famous designer with a limited edition series. The sound of her high heels now echoed as she stepped closer to the crowd.

The security guards were stunned. They realised who she was. She was the owner of the building complex.

The woman stepped gracefully and didn't even spare a glance. She continued to walk towards Bryce and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Master Milano!"

Bryce looked at the woman's appearance from bottom to top, and he smiled.

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

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.

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

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.

Bryce didn't want Tamara to see the violence, but that didn't mean Bryce would let Nolan get away with it.Nolan would feel miserable every night after the silver needle shot him. He would feel like thousands of ants were biting his heart. It felt worse than death."You guys get out of here too," Bryce told Gabriel and Cory.Today, he was going to discharge Tamara from the hospital. Cory obeyed Bryce's orders.
