In a calm tone, the middle-aged man replied, “Well, we’ll see.”In the arena, Jack “Wolf” Mercer’s gaze fell on Gabriel. His keen eyes scanned Gabriel from head to toe, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.“You must be a new fighter; you didn’t even tell us what academy you belonged to,” stated Jack “Wolf” Mercer.“That’s not really important information to share, so you better be prepared to fight me,” Gabriel replied confidently.Jack frowned, taken aback by Gabriel’s seemingly belittling attitude. His fists clenched tightly, and with strong determination, he promised himself he would defeat Gabriel.The fighters left the stage except for the two who had been chosen in the first match.One of the fighters in the arena was Kael Draven, who received thunderous cheers from his supporters.Meanwhile, Kael’s opponent was a fighter who had never been ranked within the top 5.The man stared at Kael, cold sweat beading on his hairline. He had initially been confident in his abilities

A middle-aged man sitting near Louis and Joseph asked, "Is he a new fighter? What academy does he come from?" His words dripped with curiosity.Louis and Joseph exchanged glances, confusion etched across their faces. Not wanting to make Gabriel get humiliated, they had no choice but to lie."He's from The One Thunder Academy," Joseph replied as he smiled widely.This was followed by Louis's excited confirmation. "Yes, sir, that's right. Gabriel Bruhn is a new fighter who just completed his education at the academy. He was awarded the title of best student this year," his tone was reassuring.The middle-aged man couldn't help but be amazed. "Wow, he is truly exceptional! His presence surprised everyone, but somehow I have faith in him," he remarked.Joseph gladly replied, "Yes, sir. We are his biggest fans, and we believe he will win tonight's match."The One Thunder Academy was the best academy in the country, producing outstanding fighters, including Kael Draven. To enter the academy

"Welcome to a competition show featuring the toughest fighters in the country. There are 12 fighters who will be performing at this match," the emcee announced in excitement.The audience cheered, chanting the names of their favorite fighters. Everyone seemed excited and eager to watch the match, except Louis and Joseph, who were still worried about Gabriel.Louis tried to call Gabriel, but there was no answer."What happened to him? Maybe he went home early?" Joseph stated as he let out a heavy sigh."He didn't answer my call. But the call connected, so I guess he must be somewhere, either still in this building or back at the dorm," Louis replied."I think his idea was a bit crazy. How could the organizers allow him to join as a contestant? He doesn't even have any experience as a fighter," Joseph stated."Do you think the event manager took Gabriel somewhere?" Louis surmised.The emcee's announcement of the 12 fighters' arrival on stage diverted their attention. The contestants wer

The manager led Gabriel into a room. The door opened, and Gabriel met the sharp gazes of two big men inside. The two men greeted the manager.“Good evening, sir, why are you here with that man? Who is he?” one of the men asked.The manager smiled faintly as he introduced Gabriel to them. “His name is Gabriel, and he came here to participate. I already told him he wasn’t fit to be a participant in this event, but he insisted. Therefore, I will give him a chance to show his abilities here,” he explained.The men grinned as they stared at Gabriel with disdain. Gabriel might be an athletic young man, but his boldness was amusing to them.Gabriel remained unfazed. He wore a calm expression, with no trace of worry or fear on his face.“So, what should we do?” one of the men asked.“Gabriel will face you two, and if he defeats you, he will be allowed to participate in this match,” the manager explained.The men huffed and mocked."I hope this boy won't come home with regrets.""Before we bea

Mr. Nowak chuckled as he stared at Gabriel. “You are such a funny person, Gabriel. I know you are being blinded by the 200,000-dollar prize.” He thought Gabriel was just joking.“Well, I’m very serious about this, sir. I’d like to join this, not for the prize, but for the adrenaline. I want to see if I can fight those fighters,” Gabriel stated with a firm resolve.Worry appeared on Mr. Nowak’s face. He had been watching matches like this for over a decade every year, so he could tell what the situation was like inside. There had never been a young man competing, or even an amateur fighter competing in the arena.“Gabriel, you are such an amateur young man. I know you are athletic now, but that doesn’t mean you are fit to participate in the event. It’s too dangerous for you,” stated Mr. Nowak in concern.Meanwhile, Joseph and Louis said nothing. They would support whatever decision Gabriel made. Gabriel let out a reassuring smile as he spoke. “Don’t worry, sir, I’ll be okay, I promise.

“Sabrina Locke? Is that a doctor’s daughter?” Louis responded.Sabrina was a popular student, and although Louis hadn’t been in the same class with her, he knew her.“Yeah, her dad is a doctor. When I was about to go into the manager’s office, she suddenly came out crying. She said she was laid off, but when I asked further, she just left without giving me an answer,” Joseph explained.Gabriel’s frown deepened. He was worried that Sabrina would tell Joseph about the incident two days earlier at the hospital. “So, she didn’t say anything more about why she got fired?” he asked.“No, she didn’t.”Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief. Although Sabrina had no idea of his true identity, the story of her being fired due to Gabriel’s report could have aroused suspicion among his friends. Luckily, she didn’t tell Joseph.“Okay, guys, you better get ready because I’ll be back at the dorm soon, and after that, we’re going to a fried chicken restaurant,” Joseph instructed, and then the call ended.

Arnold was taken aback seeing his grandmother’s presence. The old woman arrived there with Charles and her secret guards.“Grandma, I have asked you to wait at home. It’s too dangerous,” Arnold exclaimed worriedly.Elizabeth ignored her grandson. Her gaze was focused on William. “William, answer me! What did you do to her? Let her go!” she demanded.William smirked. “Elizabeth, nice to see you, cousin.”Arnold’s jaw dropped. “Cousin? What?”“I don’t understand why you did this to us. You suddenly left the Winster family and disappeared for more than 2 decades. But now you reappear in our lives and kidnap my grandson's girlfriend,” Elizabeth asked in surprise.A mix of anger and revenge in William’s eyes. “I just want to see your grandson suffer. By watching his girlfriend die, it’s the same as killing him slowly.”Elizabeth’s eyes were filled with tears of anger. “William, without you doing that, my grandson has suffered for almost his entire life. All this time he was missing and eve

Arnold stopped his car in front of a building. He was sure he had arrived at the address that appeared during the search process earlier."Be ready boys!" said Arnold looking at Alastair and Carlos.The two men nodded with bulletproof vests and pistols ready to protect them.Not only them, but Charles was also in the car. Arnold told Charles to stay in the car to keep watch.Arnold, Alastair, and Carlos alighted from the car and rushed into the building area by climbing the fence.As the first bodyguard of the Winster family, Carlos showed his abilities by leading this journey. He jumped the fence first and managed to enter the building area.The second person to climb the fence was Alastair. The two bodyguards had to ensure safety first before letting their master enter the area.After Alastair successfully landed, they observed the surroundings before letting Arnold climb the fence."You can go up now, young master. We will help you," said Carlos.Wasting no time, Arnold immediately

The first search process carried out by Charles was by using the kidnapper's car license number. He accessed a secret website, where the website could display information from the location of a vehicle just by typing the car license number.To be able to access the website, someone must have a special license that will not be given to just anyone. Charles, who was experienced as an assistant to rich people, has access to the website.Arnold sat next to Charles to see the search results. Charles typed the car license number, and in seconds information appeared on his laptop screen."Oh God, this person is someone with great power, so location information based on the car plate of his vehicle cannot be accessed. This also applies to the Winster family, sir," said Charles."Then, can you use another method to track their whereabouts?" Arnold asked hopefully."I'll try with Angela's phone number."Because Angela's number is inactive, the search process will take longer because to see the

Seven days later.“See you tomorrow!” Angela waved her hand to her coworkers as they left their workplace.She exited the office building and walked toward the edge of the highway. As she looked around, she received a call from Arnold.A bright smile was etched on her face. She eagerly accepted the call.“Hi, my dear. Where are you now?” Arnold asked a second after the call connected.“I just got out of the building. After this I will order a taxi to take me home,” Angela replied.With concern, Arnold offered. “How about I pick you up and take you home?”She shook her head, although Arnold could not see her gesture directly. “Thank you, babe, but I can go home by myself.”“But—”“Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be fine, trust me,” Angela assured.“If you say so, then I trust you, honey.”“Good.”“My dear, I want to invite you to have dinner with my grandmother. She is in New York right now,” Arnold invited.Angela couldn’t contain her excitement. She felt like jumping up and down with joy. Sh

Rachel’s jaw dropped. She still couldn’t believe what she saw. She looked at her phone screen to make sure the number was calling her.“It’s my mysterious investor’s number. But why?” Rachel exclaimed while rubbing her head in frustration.Arnold smirked. He brought his phone to his mouth. “Why are you so surprised, Ms. Rachel Aderwin? What do you expect from this mysterious figure?”“No way!” Rachel ended the call that very second.She stared at Arnold with a sharp gaze. “Don’t try to fool me, Arnold! This can’t be real! You must be using a trick and trying to pretend to be my investor,” she accused.Arnold chuckled. “Why would I do that? Why would I trick you?”Rachel took a deep breath. She still couldn’t process what was happening here.Arnold’s gaze shifted to his phone, and he seemed to be typing a message.“Just wait and see, Miss Aderwin. You will see the truth,” Arnold said as he smiled slyly.“What are you going to do?” Rachel exclaimed as her eyes darkened.An incoming call

Rachel tried to contact customer service from another bank, but they said the same thing. A powerful figure had blocked her bank accounts.She, who had originally planned to explore new places, ended up returning to her hotel room. Rachel couldn't hold back her sadness. Tears streamed down her cheeks.The hotel room she booked was only valid until tomorrow afternoon, so if she couldn't pay for the hotel, she would be homeless tomorrow.Resigned to her situation, Rachel decided to stream on BeYou. It only took a few minutes for viewers to flock to her stream.In front of her cellphone screen, Rachel just cried and didn't say anything. This made the viewers puzzled.@tylaaa: What happened to our Rachel? Why is she crying?@Giiii: Maybe something bad happened there. Oh, poor girl.@huns77: Tell us what happened to you.The viewers started showering her with gifts. They hoped that those gifts would make her mood become lighter.Rachel wiped her tears and started talking. "Thank you so muc

Leon and Jane come to Havelock to meet Elena's parents. When they got there, they saw, from a distance, Elena's parents, who were busy moving their belongings into a car.“Leon, are they Elena's parents?” Jane asked."Yes, they are Elena's parents."Jane frowned at them. It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe. Are you sure to leave here?” She looked at her house with teary eyes. “This house holds a lot of memories.”“If we don't leave soon, then we'll still be dealing with Leon. I want to live in peace, especially since we already have a lot of money an

Dean was at his parents' house. Because his parents decided to live in the United States, the house was his. He was at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast.While he was spreading peanut butter on his bread, a maid suddenly came to him."Good morning, master," said the maid with a little bow. "What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fly to New Zealand?“He is here?”"Yes sir. He—" Before the maid had finished her words, Rexa's arrival diverted their gaze.“Father.” Dean immediately got up from his seat.“No need to be surprised. I flew here suddenly because I had business to finish," said Rexa as he poured juice into his glass and then drank it.“I've handled everything, Father. So I don't think you need to come here suddenly like this," replied Dean, crossing his arms over his stomach.Rexa was silent and did not reply to his son's words.“Then w

“Belinda, what happened?” William approached Belinda, and Dean moved away from her.William stared sharply at Dean, as if suspicious of him.“There's a group of men with guns, sir. We don't know who they are, but suddenly they came into this room and shot Mrs. Belinda," explained one of Belinda's assistants. William's gaze turned towards her.“That's right, sir,” another assistant chimed in.William was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else had been shot made him believe that the group of men wanted to attack his family.“Quickly take Belinda to the hospital! She must get medical help before it's too late," William ordered his subordinates. They immediately took Belinda away from there.The police came out of the room to immediately find out the whereabouts of the group of men. Everyone left the room, except William and Dean.Dean stepped forward, and when he reached the doorway, William spoke to him."Aren't you the son of Rexa Romano? What are you doing here?" William asked D

The sound of the cell phone ringing distracted Leon's gaze. The man immediately took his cell phone from his pocket and accepted the call. He got a call from his subordinate.“Good afternoon, young master. There is something we want to tell you.”"What is that?" Leon's eyebrows knitted together, showing that he was curious about what his subordinate wanted to tell him.“We just arrived at the house that Mrs. Elena's parents rented, but they are no longer here. The home owner said they just left a few days ago.”The man's words surprised Leon. "What?" Leon got up from his seat and dropped the newspaper he was holding.“That's right, sir. Didn't they tell you they were leaving?”“No, they didn't say anything. Quickly find out why they suddenly left there. I'm sure they must be hiding something.”"Yes sir."Call ended.Leon immediately checked Elena's parents' number and tried to contact them. The number could be contacted, but Elena's parents did not receive the call.***Dean was sitti

“Who is her father? Have I ever met him?” Dean's brows furrowed even more when he heard his uncle's words."He was at the same event with you; you just didn't realize it," Finley replied.Dean took a deep breath. He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity. If you can marry her, our family's power will increase.” Finley kept trying to convince Dean, hoping his nephew would change his mind.Dean shook his head. “No, Uncle. I'm not interested in that.” He immediately left there without paying attention to Finley.“This is absolutely ridiculous! He tried to match me with many girls, but he himself chose not to marry. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h

"So you will stay here?" Rexa looked at Dean with a cold gaze.Dean nodded. “Yes, Father. I will still be here. I also prefer to be in New Zealand instead of another country."Rexa's gaze turned to Juliet. "Even if Dean doesn't go along with us, we will still move there," he said in a tone that didn't want to be rejected."Okay, I'll go with you." Juliet agreed to her husband's decision.Rexa took his cell phone and asked his assistant to arrange his move to the United States. Because Dean didn't move there, Rexa handed over all responsibility to his son. What's more, Dean was the heir of the Romano family. Rexa and Juliet will move to the United States next week.***Today Leon was allowed to go home. But up to this moment, Elena still hasn't woken up from her coma. Leon came to Elena's room to see his wife. The woman was lying with her face looking beautiful."It's been almost 2 weeks since Mrs. Elena has been in a coma, young master," said Michael, who was standing next to Leon.Le
