Roselin turned her head, arms folded across her chest, a sneer etched on her face. "That was just a fluke, Grandpa. It was just a coincidence that he managed to please Master Anderson before. But his real ability? Huh, absolutely zero."Yorgi nodded slowly. Roselin's answer didn't entirely convince him, but it was enough to slightly soothe the simmering frustration in his chest.Roselin's eyes landed on Amelia, who was sitting beside Jonathan. The girl was laughing softly, looking comfortable. Jonathan even calmly reached for a napkin and casually wiped the corner of Amelia's mouth; the movement looked so natural and gentle. As if the two were already accustomed to such closeness.For some reason, Roselin immediately felt a surge of heat rise in her chest. Her eyes narrowed. "Since when are they that close?" she muttered angrily.She still didn't understand why a man like Jonathan could make a girl as graceful as Amelia feel so at ease. Her heart couldn't accept it. Even though she he

"Jonathan!"The voice, full of rage, exploded from Yorgi's mouth. He stepped quickly, grabbing Jonathan's arm as he tried to leave. "Just who do you think you are, huh? Just because you have a little skill and managed to save Old Master Caresta, you think you're so great now?"Yorgi's eyes blazed with the fire of wounded pride. Behind him, Roselin stood with a contemptuous expression, arms folded across her chest."At best, you were probably just given a few coins as a thank you," Yorgi sneered. "You think with that you can challenge the Buana Family? You're not even worthy of being called our opponent!"Jonathan merely looked at Yorgi emotionlessly, his gaze flat yet piercing. Before he could respond, Roselin's voice quickly followed. "You heard him, didn't you?" she said sharply. "Next time you show up in the same place as me, I won't let you off as easily as today."Roselin's face hinted at a determination to humiliate Jonathan given a second chance. However, instead of being intim

Amelia immediately shook her head quickly and raised her hands. "Everything here must be so expensive, I don't want it. I just want to look.""If your brother says it's okay, why be hesitant? Consider it a gift from me!""No, Brother. I still have the necklace from Grandma."Jonathan could only smile, impressed by Amelia's steadfastness. "Alright. But if you change your mind later, just say the word."After circling part of the exhibition room, Jonathan and Amelia paused in front of a white vase with a finely painted blue dragon. But before they could examine it further, a soft voice called out."Amelia!"Amelia turned quickly, her face immediately lighting up. "Melani!"From the opposite direction, Melani arrived with James and a few other friends. Amelia immediately hugged her best friend. Even though they had just gone through a heavy ordeal at the Holiday Club, a reunion like this felt soothing."You could come too?" Amelia asked, her eyes sparkling.Melani nodded, smiling happily

After the minor incident at the hotel entrance, Jonathan's name was finally found on the VIP guest list. Even one of the security supervisors who arrived later bowed respectfully and ushered them in without another word. The guards who had looked down on them earlier could only bow their heads in silence, ashamed of their previous attitude.Upon arriving in the main hall, Jonathan turned and asked Amelia, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest?"Amelia quickly shook her head, her eyes shining. "Not at all, Brother. Actually, I really want to look around this place. I never even imagined I could come to a place this luxurious."Jonathan gently patted the top of his beloved sister's head and smiled. "Good. You should get used to it. Sooner or later, environments like this will be where you stand."Amelia didn't understand why Jonathan said that. "What do you mean, Brother?"But Jonathan just winked slowly, offering no answer. He stepped forward first, letting the question hang in the air.

"Excuse me, Grandpa, could I take a look at that Blue and White bowl for a moment?"The old man's steps halted. He turned, his wrinkled eyes looking at Jonathan with curiosity and caution. He weighed the bowl in his hands for a moment, then slowly stepped closer. "Do you want to buy it, Son?" he asked, his voice heavy yet sincere. "If so, I must tell you first, the price is non-negotiable."Jonathan smiled warmly. "I just want to take a closer look. If it's as good as I think it is."Jonathan examined it more closely, and with his appraisal skills, he immediately said, "I'll pay 6 Million for it. How about that?"The old man's eyes widened. He took half a step back, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "S-six million?" he stammered. "Son, I'm just a villager. Just because I'm old and don't know the market price, don't try to trick me like this.""No, Grandpa!" Jonathan smiled broa

Jonathan didn't laugh. He just shrugged and said calmly, "The antique world is harsh. Some are willing to deceive, others are willing to be deceived. But the biggest loser is the one who doesn't learn from their own foolishness."The shop owner felt deeply bitter, remembering that his family had been in the antique business for generations, yet in his own generation, he had been completely swindled. The more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt.Meanwhile, the old man had already boarded a bus, shaking his head and muttering to himself, "City life is full of deceit. I want to go back to the village. There, the worst I'll get cheated on is the price of chilies."On the other side.Amelia glanced back and felt a bit sorry for the shop owner. "I feel a little sorry for him, Bro. He looks like he's just been slapped in the face by reality."But Jonathan only gave a faint smile, his expression calm. "That's not pity, Mel. That's called Karma. He's been selling fake items to peop

It was already night, and Andrey returned to his home to sleep. As for Ke Wen, he didn’t care about him at all.Ke Wen was nothing more than a tiny existence that couldn’t even arouse his interest.What was there to worry about from a little ant that couldn’t even bite?So he returned to his apartment and went to sleep.“Haaah, so tired.”---The next day.For the first time, Andrey was awakened by the pleasant sound of the system.[Ding! Kukuruyuuuuuukk!][Host, a new day has begun. Would you like to check in? (Yes/No)]Opening his tightly shut eyes all of a sudden, Andrey felt his entire body radiating a new vitality he had long been waiting for.Andrey got up and sat on the edge of his bed. Then he answered yes to the system.“Yes! Check-in!”[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the passive skill: Singing.][Description:The passive Singing skill allows the host to sing like a professional singer. The basic standard ensures there will never be off-key notes, missed

[Ding! Hidden quest successfully completed!][Calculating rewards for the host.][Ding! The Radar Skill has evolved into a passive skill: Status Eyes!][Status Eyes Description:Eyes capable of seeing a person’s quality and potential. Dynamic vision has been enhanced by 10 times. One second in the real world will be perceived by the host as 0.8 seconds of flow.]Andrey read the description of Status Eyes. Although, overall, all the abilities of the radar skill were gone, turning it into Status Eyes was not necessarily a bad thing.“An active skill becoming a passive skill with no time limit. Overall, I prefer a passive skill without a time limit. But it’s a pity that the radar skill disappeared, making me much more passive,” Andrey’s thoughts raced rapidly as he drew multiple conclusions.“Well, it doesn’t matter if the radar skill is gone. I still have Qadam Lembu Sekilan! To hell with all sharp weapons! I’m invulnerable! As for blunt weapons, I have kung fu to deal with them all!”H

Running was impossible and would only result in death. Attacking? Even more impossible. So they agreed to gamble with their lives!Then the sound of kicks slammed into their stomachs, making them cry out in pain.“Puoh! Arrrg!”But fortunately, it did not injure them as severely as Scorpio and his gang.Although their faces were twisted in pain, their eyes shone brightly like the morning stars.They could already smell the presence of an extraordinary new master in the future.A master who could not be penetrated by bullets? That was a great thing! Their future achievements would surely be extraordinary!“Thank you, sir,” the three said sincerely.But Andrey ignored them and walked toward a chair, sitting down as he stared fiercely at the people he had defeated.“You might be wondering why I’m letting you live. Well, I don’t have any other reason. I need your strength. It’s simple—if you agree, stand up. If not, be prepared to die.”Andrey said everything clearly and dominantly.“Ever

Everyone’s faces instantly turned pale.They turned around to look at the place where they thought a corpse should be lying.However, what they saw was not a corpse, but a handsome man sitting with his arms crossed, slowly standing up and brushing the dirt off his clothes.“Impossible! How is this possible?” one of them screamed in horror upon seeing Andrey get back up.This was the first time they had ever seen someone rise after being riddled with dozens of bullets like this.If it were them instead, wouldn’t they already be dead?“Re… Rey? You…” Ke Wen wanted to say something, but Andrey had already charged toward them at full speed.Puoh!“Uueekkh!” Ke Wen, who was hit first, collapsed to the ground and vomited violently.But Andrey did not let him savor the sudden pain.A shadowy kick immediately smashed into his head, sending him flying into a factory support pillar.“I already told you, didn’t I? Now it’s my turn!” Andrey said softly as he looked at everyone present. He counted

His leg swung out with incredible speed and power, heading straight for the fifth brother’s groin.Praaak! Pyaaar!Eggs shattered!The fifth brother’s pants were instantly soaked with urine and sticky with smashed contents.Two eggs dropped straight through his pants and fell downward.The fifth brother immediately clutched his thighs—right where those eggs had been—Then convulsed and collapsed flat onto the floor!Everyone who witnessed this felt a chill and unconsciously grabbed their own crotches.They suddenly felt terrified.Just imagine—what if this happened to them?Would they still be able to use that thing?The Scorpio gang, seeing Andrey’s immoral fighting style, were furious.“Third Brother, give him a lesson!” Scorpio shouted to his third brother.But there was no movement from the side, and all his brothers screamed in fear.“This… what’s going on? Is he really that terrifying?” Scorpio muttered, staring at Andrey in rage.Andrey returned Scorpio’s gaze and smiled warmly

Everyone stared at Andrey in fear.Except for the Scorpio gang, Ke Wen and his subordinates were all terrified because Andrey had managed to break free from the tight ropes.As for Ke Wen in particular, he was horrified as memories of the past—when he had been beaten brutally by Andrey—resurfaced.He was no longer sure whether the bodyguards he had brought could handle Andrey, especially since he had also heard the shocked cries of those guards earlier.The Scorpio gang turned around and looked at Andrey, who had already freed himself from his bindings.Scorpio, seeing this, acted calm and sneered, “Just because you can break free from some ropes, you dare stop me? Your courage seems to have swollen up.”That voice instantly made Ke Wen feel delighted.‘Yes! This arrogant idiot is even challenging the dangerous Scorpio gang. You’re dead! You’re looking for your own death!’ Ke Wen thought happily.He was genuinely pleased that a fool like Andrey dared to challenge the heavens—something
