"Why do you hit me?" I gasped, clutching my aching stomach as I confronted the assailant. His eyes, cold and unfeeling, met mine briefly before he shrugged with a mocking smirk. "What?" he retorted, his voice dripping with disdain, "Can't I hit you?" Without warning, his fist connected with my head, a sharp pain radiating through my skull.

Anger, hot and seething, began to morph into a blistering fury within me.

The teachings of Buddha echoed in my mind, 'Control your anger, lest it becomes the source of your regret.'

Taking a deep breath, I summoned all my speed and strength, channeling it into a swift blow to his stomach. My fist connected with a satisfying thud. Spinning with a fluid motion, I struck his face - once, twice, thrice - each hit a release of the pent-up fury. He crumbled to the ground like a marionette with its strings cut. A bitter laugh escaped my lips, "Fuck, Buddha, I am not a Buddhist!"

The others, part of his gang, began to close in. He came at me, arms swinging.

    The imposing figure, who seemed to be the leader, approached with an air of authority. As he spoke, the crowd hushed in anticipation. “What do you want?” he demanded.Confused and slightly taken aback, I stepped forward. “You take my superbike and destroy it, yet you ask me what I want? I demand compensation from whoever wrecked it.”The leader’s laugh echoed mockingly. “I don’t know who destroyed it. Did you see any of us do it? All I know is you came here attacking us.”I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity. “So, this is your game? You're even more of a coward than I thought, denying your own actions. Fine, I'll coax the truth out of you, one way or another.”“Do you really think you can stand against us?” The leader’s voice was dripping with contempt. “Attack him now!”Yet, no one moved. I walked up to the leader, my eyes locking with his. “Why don't you make your move, coward, always hiding behind numbers? I stand here alone, and still, you call for others to fight your battl

    The discipline teacher, his age evident in his balding head and furrowed brow, stormed in with a palpable air of anger. Accompanying him was Gisella, Peter's sister, her presence adding to the tension."Nothing happened," the club captain declared, striding towards the teacher with a strained smile that did little to mask the bruises marring his face.The teacher, skepticism etched in every line of his face, surveyed the scene. "What do you mean 'nothing'? I can clearly see bruises on your face, and hear the moans of pain," he remarked, his gaze sweeping over six individuals writhing on the floor."Teacher," the captain began, his voice laced with effort to sound convincing. "We're a boxing club. Sparring is part of our routine. How else could we hope to win the upcoming tournament?"The teacher's eyes narrowed, unswayed. He continued his inspection, noting the twenty-five club members, each wearing a forced smile.Of course, nothing was wrong.As Gisella walked away just now, I force

    “Wait,” Maria interjected hastily, her voice laced with urgency, “I've run out of money.”I rummaged through my wallet and extracted $1,000, extending it towards her with a subtle nod.“Thank you,” Maria uttered happily. She clasped Gisella's hand firmly, leading her with a sense of purpose. “Come on, let's gather your belongings.”***In the confines of the car, Maria maneuvered the steering wheel, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. Gisella sat beside her, her mind swirling with unanswered questions. “Is he your family?” Gisella inquired, her curiosity piqued.“Nope,” Maria responded with a nonchalant shake of her head, eyes still on the road.“A boyfriend, perhaps?” Gisella probed further.Maria let out a light, amused laugh. “No, not at all. We are total strangers, in fact.”Gisella's brow furrowed in bewilderment. “Did you do something significant for him?”Maria's laugh resounded in the car again. “Not really. I just exist there, eat, and do very little.”Gisella's eyes widened in

    I caught a taxi to the prestigious boutique, bustling with flawlessly beautiful sales staff. They offered impeccable recommendations, their delicate ivory hands gently touching me as they wore shy smiles, emanating a lovely scent. It contrasted sharply with the experience of shopping at a traditional market, where the sellers, often rude and overweight, would nonchalantly pick their noses while chanting, “pick, pick, all cheap.”I was acutely aware of Violet's looming despair. Born into a life of luxury, she had developed an insatiable appetite for the trappings of wealth. Once ensnared in such a lifestyle, the mere thought of a lesser existence was unfathomable to her. In her world, the judgment of peers was relentless, and falling from grace was akin to a social death sentence.Despite her unyielding desires, her sole venture into the world of business – a furniture store – was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. She clung to the remnants of her former life, desperate to reclaim h

    Clad in what was, for me, the height of luxury, Rachel and I approached the three-story house near my school, a prize won from the gambling den. Under the famous architect meticulous guidance and expensive renovation, it had transformed into an impressive office space, now brimming with the hum of air conditioners.The front boasted a glass door etched with the bold letters "Eden Cellular Division" – a touch of sophistication that was quite lavish in my eyes. "They are on the second floor, in the meeting room," Rachel informed me, her voice echoing slightly in the spacious foyer.As I passed the office space, my perspective shifted.

    As I approached the heavy wooden door, the captain's voice thundered behind me, her face flushed with a furious crimson. "Alright! But if you lose, you must swear to bring Maria to my abode.""Absolutely no problem," I replied, my voice tinged with a hint of defiance. Gently closing the door, I surreptitiously turned the lock, sealing us inside. Dropping my backpack with a thud onto the dusty floor near the makeshift arena, I murmured to myself, "I can't possibly lose to a mere grade 12 girl, right? Such a defeat would bring shame upon this Marshall and all his soldiers."The captain's eyes, sharp and assessing, bore into me. "Are you aware of how much I detest boys?" she asked, her voice a mixture of scorn and challenge."You've just informed me," I retorted, slipping off my upper garments to stand only in my pants, exposing my muscular torso."Why do you disrobe?" she inquired, her gaze lingering on my sculpted physique."I prefer not to have my clothes torn during the fight.

    I stared at Sofia, puzzled. "Must I remind you that you were the one who asked for the divorce.”“You deserve it.” Sofia returned my gaze with a troubled look. "You're not selling any paintings. Everyone is talking about how poor are you.""They can hate me and talk about me all they want," I protested. "But why do you have to listen to them? I’ve never used any of your money for my daily living. I even buy and cook food for you and pay the bills. Remember, I never asked a single cent from you. Why must you judge me? Meanwhile, you freely use my money.""I make no mistake; my conscience is clear," I reaffirmed."You have no money," she shot back."So, I'm in the wrong for having no money?" A headache began to form. "Whatever. We're divorced already, and you were the one who initiated it.""Alex, I have given you many chances to prove yourself, to sell your painting, but you never want to sell any of them. You don’t deserve me.""Alright, whatever you say. Can we just finish this? I do

    “I do not think that we are close enough for that relationship,” I said politely as I gently pushed her to one side.“So you are playing hard to get, Mr. Alex?” Sasha looked at me with a seductive smile. “You make me want you more.”She took out a card from her purse and handed me a golden card.“What is this?”“This card will give you all-access to all Powell Group's hotels and lodgings. You can enjoy all the food and service, on our lodgings without any payment. Just think of it as my treat to you.”“I don’t think I need this,” I replied politely, having more than enough money to eat and sleep wherever I wanted.“Please accept it, Mr. Alex. It is not a payment for your job; it's just our treat to our honorable guest.”Free stuff to eat and sleep? After not having a home, staying in a hotel for a bit wouldn’t be a problem until I found a new house. “Well, I accept this. Thank you very much.”Suddenly, I felt a killing tension around me.

His face turned an ominous black.Professor Calvin, taken aback by the sudden turn of events, exclaimed in shock, “What is happening?”I quickly tried to retract my inner energy, but the blood had already created a blockage, and Winston suddenly coughed up a clot of blood, hitting Professor Calvin in the face.

    “How many holy order members do we have ready in this city?” I asked as we walked toward the nearest park.The Holy Order had evolved into an international network of mercenaries or private armies, boasting around a hundred thousand personnel worldwide.They were now part of local underworld groups, working as private detectives, hired guns, and even assassins tasked with eliminating only the so-called bad people.They were the army I prepared to face the world in the inevitable World War III. With enough money, I could mobilize about a million soldiers globally.Taking down any country was a cinch, especially since I also owned a weaponry factory that collaborated with many countries.I had even begun developing a new nuclear weapon in collaboration with some countries, all under the radar.Weapons and soldiers were crucial if I aimed to conquer the world.“In Oxford, we have about fifty people,” Alfred continued, calculating quickly. “And we only need about thirty to execute the mis

I hope you won’t make this difficult; just sign them,” she said.“Divorce? What is the reason?” I asked, still looking at Sofia who remained silent letting Tina spoke for her.Tina continued, “You haven’t sold any paintings in three years. You’re a struggling artist with nothing to your name. Meanwhile, Ms. Sofia is a successful businesswoman, the new CEO of Anderson group. You two are not on the same level. Your presence merely tarnishes Sofia’s reputation. So, your marriage is over now.”“What?” I laughed in disbelief, staring at Sofia. “So this is how you see me now?”Tina stepped in front of me, blocking my view of Sofia, and sho

"I suggest you leave now, or I'll need to call security to kick you out."Sophia grabbed my hand, her voice trembling with determination. "Alex, let's get out of here. I will never return to this family again.""Stop it, Sophia," her mother approached us, concern etching her features. But Sophia didn't care; she simply shoved her mother away."Guard! Take Sophia," Sophia's uncle commanded.I started to laugh, disbelief coloring my tone. "So, this is the meaning of family? You would sacrifice your daughter for a $100 million project?""Shut up," Grandma Anderson snapped. "Take Sophia and kick this guy out. He is not worth to be here."As a guard approached, wielding an iron baton, I launched a quick attack to his face, and he fell down.Causing shock to everyone there.The other guard who dared to come close received a kick to his stomach.As we walked to the gate, more guards came,

I just want a peace, is it hard!”“I am sorry, so sorry. I didn’t know you are with Sicilia.” Jeremy stammered. “It won’t happen again.”I hung up the phone, pulled out my smartphone, and called Francesca.“What is it, Alex?” she answered.“I believe I had report about Vex Bolton trying to kidnap Sofia. Now, Jeremy Bolton, his son, is in my hands. Do you want him or not?”“What do you want in exchange?”“Nothing. Since he started by kidnapping my friend.”“Do you know we and Bolton are like water and fire?” Francesca asked.“It’s much better. When you want to kill Vex Bolton, I will help you.”“Great, send him to our place. We can try to use him for the negotiation; if it does not work, we will just go to war.

    Jeremy was shocked. "She really wants you to die? And doesn't care about you?"He clutched his head, feeling a slight headache."How can this be happening?" Jeremy threw a vase across the room."Where is Alex right now?" Jeremy demanded, pressing a knife against Miranda's stomach."At the university." Miranda said in fear."Alright, lead this girl to find the guy and bring him here.
