Michael's mind was filled with joy at the thought.

Just then, loud applause from the crowd suddenly returned his attention to the stage.

He realized the man had finished giving his speech. He was greeting all the VIP guests as he descended from the stage until he reached Stephanie's table.

"You delivered a wonderful speech, Uncle Joe!" Stephanie praised him.

"Thanks, Stephanie. You look more beautiful than usual!" Joe complimented her beauty.

Stephanie blushed, covering her face.

Just then, Joe noticed the young man sitting next to his niece. He stared at him for a while, and then he curiously asked Stephanie, "Who's he?" pointing at Michael.

"I'm about to introduce him to you. He's..." Stephanie hadn't finished her statement before Joe waved his hand.

"You need to be very careful with men, okay?" Joe advised.

"I understand, Uncle. He's..." Stephanie was trying to explain before her uncle cut in again. "The fact that he looks so calm doesn't mean his intentions are pure," Joe warned s

The old woman gazed into her daughter's eyes again, and the memory of everything that happened yesterday flooded her mind.She sighed and let it go, holding Stella's hand and moving closer to the microphone."There's a saying: as parents age, children take the reins. However, Stella isn't taking the reins today solely because her parents are getting old, but because she's capable and reliable."The crowd clapped in excitement as Lauren gestured to the mic for Stella to speak.This time, Michael had a glimpse of why Lauren had appreciated him wholeheartedly. If the young lady had successfully ended

    Michael's mind was filled with curiosity as he rushed to Horizon Road. He couldn't imagine what situation Cynthia was in, given the way she sounded over the phone. Shortly, he arrived at the place, scanning around. He was surprised when his eyes met with the gorgeous woman smiling at him from a distance. Cynthia was standing in front of a sleek pink sports car. The car had a cool design with razor-sharp edges. Michael stood for a moment, mesmerized. He gulped as he tried to figure out whether it was the situation he met Cynthia that caught his attention or the sports car. "Hurry up, Michael!" Cynthia called from a distance. Michael walked to her slowly, still a bit confused. "You called me for an urgent matter," Michael said calmly. Cynthia saw the seriousness on his face and replied, "Yes, I want to show you something." She was rubbing her palm on the logo of the sports car. Michael's eyes went straight to the logo and found out it was a Lu Cars. He felt a shift in his

    She remained silent, trying to find out if there was a new meaning to the word 'Fair.'"You're joking, right?" Cynthia forced a slight smile on her face as she walked close to him."Of course not," Michael's voice was somewhat serious.This made the forced smile on Cynthia's face turn into a frown.She did her best to impress Michael with her driving skills. She never expected him to belittle her efforts.Michael noticed Cynthia's scowling face and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking down on your skills. It's just that I was expecting you to make the car fly, but it ran on the road the whole time."'Huh?!' Cynthia's eyes widened in surprise, and she turned away from Michael. He was messing with her head too much.Cynthia was about to leave him behind when Michael suddenly grabbed her arm. She turned to him, and their eyes met. A cool breeze blew between them, creating a sort of unexplainable breathtaking moment."I heard that pretty women don't get angry?"Cynthia's heart was m

    Drew and Lolli were completely dumbfounded. Michael wasn't excluded.Drew and his colleague found it difficult to understand what Cynthia had just said.Did she just call this random guy her treasure?They had always known Cynthia as a classy and highly respected lady. Many heirs and big shots of Silvana City wouldn't mind putting the world on pause all because of her. Why does she stoop so low as to call this nameless guy her treasure?However, they couldn't protest. They were just employees of Lu Cars Company. They had no guts to complain about the heiress's choices.Just then, Lolli smiled at Michael, "Nice to meet you," stretching out his hand for a handshake."Same here," Michael responded as their hands clasped.Meanwhile, Drew's face remained frowning. He regretted not knocking Michael to the ground quickly before Cynthia blocked him.At that moment, Lolli suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my, isn't that Angel, looking prettier than usual?" He walked joyfully closer to Cynthia's car and

    The cars accelerated to top speed as they drifted away. The screeching sounds of the tires, combined with the roaring of the car engines, made the drivers and crowd feel connected to the competition. The Nissan GT-R was taking the lead while the rest of the cars were almost in the same position behind. In the blink of an eye, the BMW M4 accelerated to its very best, taking second position. They were about 1.8 kilometers away from the starting line, but none of the cars was able to catch up with the Nissan GT-R. "I told you the Nissan GT-R is in a league of its own! Have you forgotten it produces 600 horsepower? What else do you expect if it's not a win? Haha!" one of the Nissan GT-R fans shouted, feeling overjoyed. There was just a little distance remaining to complete the first 2.5 kilometers when the BMW M4 suddenly took the first position from the Nissan GT-R. The crowd was dumbfounded as they had never seen that coming. "What do you have to say now? Haha! BMW is the deal, ma

    Dylan and Lolli drove to the starting line. The front of the two cars aligned, and they were both revving their engines.Inarguably, the roar of the Luminary Car swallowed the moan of the RetroFit Car multiplefold.The masculinity of Blaze was unmatched as it knocked the RetroFit Car to the ground."What?!""Can you hear that?!""The Luminary Car sounds incredible!"The crowd was astounded.This time, Dylan felt stupid for agreeing to the race in the first place.Lolli gave him a short glance and saw how chicken he looked before the steering wheel."Hehe! He couldn't believe his ears!" he mocked and stuffed a lollipop in his mouth.Just then, the countdown was called, "3, 2, 1. Go!"Instantly, Blaze took off at high speed, leaving the RetroFit Car behind with a massive gap.The whole crowd had their jaws dropped to the floor, as they hadn't seen such a takeoff in their lives.Blaze went from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds."This car is on fire!" someone commented in the crowd."I hea

    "Very well." Cynthia nodded her head.Dylan's mind was at rest as he already had an idea of how to outrun Luminary Cars. Moreover, he didn't see anything special about Angel.He confidently shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash. "Here are five thousand dollars. I bet Angel would never get the chance to smell the back of my car until the end of the race."Cynthia felt cool. She loved where the situation was heading. She reached for some cash too and said, "Here's eight thousand dollars. RetroFit is about giving back the honor to those who deserve it."Dylan's eyes widened. He felt good to see the cool cash waiting for him.Just then, the bearded, sturdy guy who had stood behind earlier paved the way through the crowd and walked forward."You can trust me with the money," he said.Dylan glanced at him briefly and handed him the cash. Then, Cynthia did too."Whoever wins the race owns the cash!" the sturdy guy assured loudly.Dylan hurried to his car and jumped in.

    Everyone was taken aback by his accusation. They had no thought other than that Dylan was a coward.He hadn't called himself a cheat when he fortunately led Lolli by a few meters in the previous race.Now that he was so widely gapped, he couldn't come to any conclusion other than that he had been cheated.Cynthia smiled, "You don't have to make a false accusation, Mr. Chase. You said earlier that Luminary Car wouldn't smell the exhaust of your car, but you ended up being left in the dust. Explain to us how that was cheating?"What a heavy question!Dylan's bones became weak, and he lost his composure at that moment. He didn't even know what to say.Then, Cynthia added, "It's obvious that you're afraid of losing your money. We won the bet, but we can return your money to you. After all, Lu Cars own this day's honor!"Dylan's face turned ugly. He never expected things to become so tight for him.He wasn't ready to let go of the day's honor. Also, it would be so embarrassing for him to l

Somebody help me!" Zak shouted as his voice echoed through the air.The wizard couldn't fathom what had led him to this sudden, nonstop spin.This time, Michael got to his feet, watching the wizard in his helpless situation. He never had any intention of hurting the man in the beginning; all that mattered to him was the protection mirror.However, given the clash between the duo, it was no surprise that Zak was determined to send Michael to his grave.It was great luck for Michael that he was able to put his enemy in his place.If only Michael had known where the wizard had kept the mirror, he would have gone for it right away. This was because, as soon as the air blew him away, he felt his spiritual energy awakening slightly.Zak, who had been crying for help, suddenly accepted the truth that no on

    Meanwhile, Michael was still in the darkroom, trying his best to escape the difficult situation he was in.At that moment, not only was the heat in the room becoming more intense, but his throat was seriously drying out, and he nearly coughed up blood.This left him in a completely uncomfortable situation, with his life hanging by a thread.It was clear that Zak wasn't taking it lightly with Michael. He wanted him dead, and in a horrible way.As Michael continued to wander around the room, trying harder to find a means of exit, he accidentally stepped on a pressure-sensitive switch on the floor.Suddenly, a part of the wall shifted slightly, and a little light entered the room.Michael's brows raised slightly in surprise as he couldn't discern the reason behind the sudden shift.He was devastated, as his clothes were already soaked with sweat, but he couldn't give up at such a dangerous moment.Michael gasped loudly as he turned to try passing through the shifted wall, hoping it would

    After the dancing session with Sage, an arrangement was made for refreshments. The elderly man was invited to the dining table, sitting next to the gang leader and his lover."You requested some fun earlier. Here's some for you." The gang leader said to Sage, pointing at the bottles of wine and other hard liquor on the table.Sage responded with a gentle smile as he maintained his drunken act. "Haha! What a good day to be alive! Thank you for the warm treatment."The gang leader waved his hand in the air and stated genuinely, "Mammie deserves the gratitude. If not for her, there's a high chance you would be in a pool of blood by now."The gang leader flashed a wicked smile at Sage before turning a calm gaze at his lover sitting next to him.At that moment, the elderly man felt a shift in his heart. He couldn't deny the truth behind the gang leader's remark.If it weren't for Fiona, the ruthless gang leader would have blown Sage's head off with his gun.Given that, the elderly man reco

    A sudden pause took over the room immediately.Michael glanced around but couldn't find any trace of the wizard. Then, he taunted, "Isn't it early for you to go behind the veil now, Zak? The show hasn't even started yet."His voice was a mix of seriousness and ridicule. However, all he got in response was total silence.He turned to look around quickly, anticipating the wizard's attack, but nothing happened.Just then, Michael stayed in place, paying attention to the direction where Zak had fallen. Then, he began to hear the sound of blood dripping on the floor.That gave him a glimpse into the reason why the wizard had suddenly disappeared. Zak had hidden himself in the darkness as he lost his strength so quickly.His strength drained away rapidly due to his injury and loss of blood.Michael was about to head in the direction of the sound when the wizard's terrifying voice suddenly echoed, "There's nothing in this world that can save you from visiting your grave today.

    The room became illuminated instantly as the wizard appeared. It became clearer to Michael that the deep darkness in the room was all Zak's doing.Having a glance at what the wizard looked like, Michael felt a little concerned as he was still battling with the strike that had attacked him unexpectedly. His whole body was hot from within, to the point that his skin nearly burned away.Michael was staring at Zak at that moment, trying to understand whether he should be called a human being or an animal.This was because he had the shape of a human, while his face closely resembled that of an elephant. His nose was ridiculously long, and his ears nearly touched his shoulders. Moreover, he had two long horns on his head, making his kind of creature strange.Michael slowly stepped backward as the pain of the strike sank deeper inside him. He clenched his fists, aiming to gather his spiritual strength to help himself.However, Zak never let him be. The scary wizard walked closer to him, add

    Michael hurried to his feet as the scary voice echoed. He glanced around the dark room, but he couldn't see a thing.The room was so dark that he couldn't even see his palms.He was trying to confirm if he was hallucinating. Probably, his mind was playing tricks on him due to the strange voices he had heard earlier before entering the building.The only thing he could note was an awful smell in the room. Just then, the previous voice came up again without revealing the direction of its owner."Those who trespassed into Zak's abode in the past never made it out of here. Now, you can have a bite of the pie, too."Instantly, a bolt of frightening lightning struck the dark room but couldn't harm Michael as he was quickly enclosed in a purplish transparent sphere.His eyes opened wide with concern as the lightning gave him a glimpse of what the room looked like.He felt a shift in his heart as his eyes flashed at several dried and decayed human skeletons lying on the ground.This time, Mic

Michael whispered to himself and tried another route in the forest.However, despite the attempt, the problem persisted.

Not only was she in their midst, but she was also the gang leader's lover.After Fiona left Skyline Restaurant that night, Michael tried hard to reach her, but all his efforts were to no avail.Finding her among the gangsters now made him feel worried and concerned.Even though he had no idea how Fiona came to be with Don Leonardo's men, he felt it was against her will.This time, his mind went straight to no one else but Jack Harris, who used her as a weapon against Skyline Restaurant.After the incident that occurred at Skyline Restaurant that night, Vivian disclosed to Michael why Fiona had to comply with Jack Harris's orders to carry out his scheme against the restaurant.It turns out that Jack Harris had trickily taken a nude picture of Fiona when she was in the changing room.

    A quick pause took over the atmosphere immediately.The gang leader's face became ugly, and he sniffed, shifting his gaze to the lady next to him while his gun was still pointed at Sage."Why do you think so, Mammie? What do you observe?" the gang leader asked.The lady chuckled, taking a thorough look at Sage, who had turned ice cold on his feet. "Taking a look at his bottle of local liquor says a lot about him. Also, take a look at his outfit..."The lady hadn't concluded her statement when the crowd's gaze fell on the elderly man's cowboy outfit, and they burst into roaring laughter."What the f***?! Hahaha!""Laughing my f***ing ass off!"The crowd continued to make tons of surprising comments while Sage remained frozen on his feet.Nothing was funny to him at that moment.
