2024-06-04 11:43:50Soon, 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're wearing are quite shabby and don't even match your athletic body. The choice of colour and type is also very wrong," Tamara criticised the man before her.
Bryce could only manage an embarrassed smile when he heard all that. But Tamara confidently put her arm around him and led him into the store.
The few pairs of eyes that saw the two people felt very confused. They couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing.
"Is that woman crazy? How could she bring a man with such an inappropriate appearance here?"
"Where did she find such a man? I think she's under a lot of pressure."
Some of what people were saying rang in Bryce's ears. He then felt very embarrassed and inappropriate for being there.
"Calm down. We should just ignore them. Don't take their words to heart. If they knew the truth, they would swallow their words themselves," Tamara said soothingly to Bryce, who was in her arms.
Some of the staff on duty there were also very confused. But since they knew Tamara, they could only smile confusedly.
"Excuse me! I need you to find some tops and trousers for this gentleman. I also want some of your signature suits to try on for him," Tamara ordered the male staff.
Bryce couldn't help but chuckle and responded, "Please help!"
The male staff immediately took Bryce to a specialised room to be measured and tested on some of their clothing sets while Tamara waited in the lounge enjoying a meal.
"Sir, these are clothes that fit your size. Please try them on!" the male staff member said in a friendly manner.
Bryce was amazed when he saw his appearance in the mirror. A set of signature suits from top brands made him look like a high-class urban man.
"Wow, I don't think I've ever looked this good. So this is what it feels like to be part of the higher-up people." Bryce muttered.
After trying some of the clothes, Bryce returned to wearing his previous clothes. The staff accompanying him were even surprised because customers who buy clothes there usually put them on immediately, while Bryce did not.
"This customer is unique," muttered the male staff in confusion.
But before returning, Bryce asked for directions to the restroom.
"Wow, the clothes in this shop are so expensive. I could never afford them even if I worked my whole life," Bryce said, his attention distracted by the price tags.
However, his focus was shattered when another customer suddenly admonished him.
"Eww. Who let a bum into this premium store? I doubt the cleanliness of this place. Hey, trashy, get out of here," the woman said, making a scene. Several customers in the same area immediately saw and gave Bryce disgusted looks.
"Hun, why are you shouting?" A man who appeared to be the woman's lover came over when he heard his girl scream.
"Did this man do something to you?" The man was ready to punch when his other hand grabbed Bryce's shirt.
The woman shouted excitedly, "Honey, don't touch this man. The germs and bad luck factor will follow us."
Bryce, who witnessed everything, could only be shocked in disbelief. He did not know these two, but they were behaving so badly.
"Hey, I don't understand. Who are you guys?" he said with such innocence.
The man, who saw his girlfriend panicking, became even more enraged.
"Shut the fuck up, you hobo man! I won't let you off the hook for touching my girl."
Bryce then defended himself, "Dude, I think you misunderstood."
But because of Bryce's defiant words, the man threw a punch that sent Bryce crashing to the floor.
"Where is the stuff? There's a showdown going on over there.
Some visitors started calling out to the staff as they felt uncomfortable.
The store manager soon arrived in the crowd.
"My apology. I apologise for the inconvenience. We will address this issue immediately."
The manager immediately signalled the guards to drag Bryce out of the store.
"Hey, you misunderstood. I'm not guilty at all," he said in defence.
"Speak not for now. I will report you to the police," she said firmly.
That sentence was like lightning in the day. Bryce knew it meant dealing with the police would not end well for him.
"Very good. Make sure that guy goes to jail!" the couple shouted at Bryce.

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. Gabriel realised something. His face looks shocked."No way. What I think is impossible!" Gabriel exclaimed in disbelief."Mr Shaw, stop Bryce! He's going to get the patient killed!" Nolan ur

Bryce said, "Apologise to Tamara!""I'm sorry. Please forgive me." Nolan and Leah knelt and apologised repeatedly."Get out of here!" Bryce snapped. The two hurriedly ran outside.Just then, Bryce shot a silver needle into Nolan's body. 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. Gabriel, however, remains frozen in place and looks doubtful."Why are you still here?" Bryce frowned."Will you teach me the Dreamweaver Technique from earlier?" After a while, Gabriel asked earnestly.Gabriel dedicated his life to saving lives. If he had that skill, he would have

"Alright." Finley nodded."Grandpa, look at that son-in-law; he has no manners. We're all discussing something important, and he wants to leave this room immediately. He should show his achievements if he wants to be arrogant."They all seemed to agree with that statement. Bryce, who had wanted to rest, was now stuck with the drama of his sister-in-law. The pair took great pleasure in dehumanising Bryce."Honey, you're right. He's quite arrogant for a man with no accomplishments. Bryce has the hardened nature of a pest. I thought his behaviour in the office the other day was enough to get him out of here. But somehow, it seems like my warnings fell on deaf ears. Our family has become a laughing stock because of a man like him," Veronica's mother, who was also there, said.With a glass of wine in her hand, Mrs Veronica walked over to Bryce. She reluctantly poured all the contents into Bryce's face."True, this man has never contributed anything to o

"That's right. A poor man like Bryce should be a servant, not a son-in-law. The Carter Family has been in the public eye for almost two years. It would be great if we were famous for our achievements, but instead, we've become a joke in society. I really can't bear to be embarrassed for this long."People in the family thought that Bryce was the same as rubbish. He not only did not help Veronica but also hindered her all the time.All these glimpses of the early days of their marriage are a turning point in the golden age of the Carter family. What was once perfect now has the disgrace of defects on full display.With his head still spinning, his lips dripping blood, and his stomach aching, Bryce tried to ignore what others were saying about him. The fragile-looking man even saw his wife's expression as she desperately wanted to slap him.Noticing the reproachful look on Veronica's face, Bryce stepped closer. With an embarrassed look, he said, "Veronica,

The voices came back to Bryce's head. The universe seemed to whisper and energise him to retaliate. But Bryce was too confused and unaware of the situation.Seeing Bryce's dishevelled state was not enough to satisfy their desires. Bruno wanted to sow salt in the wound."Bryce, I know you are courting a rich woman who is about to go bankrupt. You're very brave to give her a helping hand," the man responded with a statement that would captivate Bryce's attention.With a dazed look, Bryce stopped his steps and jerked back. He asked in surprise, "Do you know Tamara?""Of course. She is a business rival that must be destroyed. The doctor who treated her husband is my friend. I asked the doctor to increase the dosage in the prescription!" Bruno replied with a grinning smile."Bruno, how dare you..." Bryce responded, and his blood started to rise.Bryce clenched his fists, his eyes burned with anger, and blue veins appeared on his forehead. David had been bedridden for a year as his conditio

If you had survived, you would have become an important figure in Novaria one day.

The lake was calm again.No one wants to believe that the great Hector is dead.Hector is a dragon.Hector was Novaria's pride.Although created from water, Hector is still a dragon.However, Hector had just been beheaded by Bryce."Impossible, impossible," Many spectators stared at the lake in confusion and continued to whisper.Suddenly, bubbles appeared in the centre of the lake.The sound from the lake grew louder.People in the neighbourhood also heard this sound."Look, what is it?"People were startled by the sound and looked to the centre of the lake.A pair of horns appeared in the centre of the lake.Then, a giant dragon's head emerged from the water, and then its body appeared.In the end, an intact water dragon floated on the surface of the water.This marvellous sight surprised many people.Is this the water dragon that Bryce decapitated?"Sky. You think you killed me, don't you?
Chapter 204: Secret Techniques
At that moment, Hector's dragon incarnate coiled in the air, looking at Bryce from a distance.Bryce, on the other hand, just looked down on the dragon.In the eyes of the audience, this is a duel between an immortal and an ordinary human being.Hector as an immortal and Bryce as an ordinary human.Ordinary humans cannot defeat immortals, so Bryce would definitely not be able to fight Hector.However, Bryce's facial expression did not change in the slightest. He remained calm as he faced the giant dragon.In fact, Bryce was surprised.Bryce had no idea that Hector could create such a secret technique.Other people may not understand the secret technique, but Bryce can understand it easily.This secret technique is extremely powerful and can increase Hector's strength from the Intermediate Stage Expert level to the Late Stage.The gap between each level of experts is huge. Four Intermediate-stage experts cannot defeat a Late-stage expert.That was enough to show how powerful this secre

"Impressive." Bryce praised with a laugh.He raised and swung his hand into the air. The water net was cut and stopped in mid-air.The people around were surprised to see that.They had no idea that Bryce was so extraordinary that he could control Hector's magic tricks.At that instant, Bryce rushed over to Hector. The fingers of Bryce's left hand turned into a knife and the Knife Spirit gathered."Sky, you're fooled. You think the Water Thread Net is just like that?"Instead of feeling scared, Hector felt satisfied when Bryce approached him. As soon as Hector clenched his fist in a reverse position, the water in the air surrounded Bryce like a storm.Hector knew that it would not be easy to face Bryce, so he pretended to lose. He waited for the opportunity to give Bryce the killing blow.The people watching understood."No wonder Hector's beautiful attack was so easily defeated. It turned out to be Hector's trick. He ha

Bryce mocked Hector and felt that Hector was not his equal.He underestimated Hector.Hector was a calm man, but he was furious at Bryce's taunts.Everyone was surprised by Bryce's words.Bryce must be crazy. He was an Intermediate Stage Expert, but so was Hector.How dare she speak to Hector in such a tone."Bryce, you're really cocky. I hope this isn't just your bluff."Then, Hector moved. His movement made a huge sound.Hector leapt into the air, meanwhile, his feet created a huge wave."Show me your skills, Bryce."Hector laughed and leapt into the air and lunged at Bryce.Bryce stood still and his eyes glittered with a cold stare. "All right. You asked for it. What can I do."Hector moved with lightning speed and arrived in front of Bryce. He put his hands together.Then two large whirlpools were formed by Hector's Internal Energy."Destroy it."Bryce held up one finger and

He died?"All members of the Horan Family were shocked at the sight.Originally, they wanted Layne to fight with Bryce so that they could both get rid of their anger.They thought that Layne could kill Bryce quickly. However, they were surprised that Bryce killed Layne with just one move.Rey and the others were shocked and couldn't believe what had just happened."How is that possible? I thought Bryce was a fake expert. How could he kill Layne so easily?"Rey mumbled and her eyes widened. She thought Bryce would be killed without her help.However, the opposite was true. Bryce killed Layne with just one move.Therefore, there was no doubt that Bryce was a true expert and he was much stronger than Layne.Could Bryce be an Intermediate Stage Expert?No, no way.It had been a while since Rey became a Brawler and she was still an Intermediate Stage Expert.

Everyone turned their heads in amazement at the sight of the person who had just spoken.Is that person Sky?Rey and the others were closer to Bryce. So, they knew in advance who had just spoken.Surprisingly, he was Bryce."Bryce, you're crazy, aren't you? Why would you show up in a situation like this?" Rey scolded Bryce."What? You think you're an expert? What they want is Sky, not Bryce.""That's right. this is a battle between Intermediate Stage Experts, and you're just an Advanced Champion.""Bryce, this is not child's play. We're talking about the best fighter. If anyone messes up the duel, he will definitely be killed.""Step back. Don't block our view."

Rey asked in a curious tone.Bryce really doesn't get along with Rey.Rey thought Bryce had gone to Umbrella City with Veronica, but Bryce showed up here before Rey got the news of his return.Rey felt cheated by Bryce.He needed an explanation from Bryce.However, it seemed like Bryce did not hear her and ignored Rey."You didn't hear? Are you deaf or stupid? Explain." Rey, who was annoyed, shouted at Bryce.Bryce turned to look at Rey and replied nonchalantly, "Explanation? Do I need to explain what I did to you?"You can come here. Why can't I?"Then, Bryce looked away and turned his back to Rey."You,"Rey's face turned grim and his eyes widened in anger. However, she decided not to continue.If there weren't so many people here, Rey would have kicked Bryce hard.The elites beside Rey witnessed everything."Look. He was very rude to Mr Carter.

"Although he used special magic to become an Expert Brawler, the truth is that Sky is still at the Late Stage of Proficiency. Adept-level champions and above should accept the challenge of fighting. Otherwise, Sky's ability will be tarnished.His faith in martial arts will also be shaken. He will find it very difficult to improve his skills in the future."Sky is still very young. So, he must be proud of himself and won't let his confidence waver. I'm sure he'll come." Layne said while stroking his beard."Then I can rest easy." Juan breathed a sigh of relief."Plus, when Sky appears, I'll ask Mr Burley to allow me to fight on his behalf. If Mr Burley agrees, I can avenge my nephews' anger." Layne replied.According to Layne, an Advanced Brawler like Sky was no match for him.On the other side of the slope.There were two men in beautiful silk robes gazing at the vastness of Lake Ganboia.One of them was a young man, while the other was a middle-aged man.At first glance, they look li
