............"Alright, let's move on to the next place," Mia said, seeing her brother unable to feel any presence of their pursuers.Jake drove from one place to another in the city, but didn't notice any signs of their enemies."What's going on? Was your information wrong?" Mia asked after they drove around Willowbrook City, but found not a trace of their pursuers."No, I don't think so. It might just be that our pursuers are more skilled than we thought," Jake said, shaking his head, confident in his information but realizing their pursuers weren't your average folks."We need to be more careful then," Mia said, as Jake drove away from the area, scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger.They drove aimlessly around the city, searching for any trace of their enemies. Just when they thought they wouldn't find anything, Jake noticed something off a few hundred meters away."Sis, don't move or make any gestures. We're being followed. How did I miss this? We need to act natura

............"Brother, they're moving towards you. All 11 of them are together," Mia warned, seeing her brother in a difficult situation."Yeah, I can feel them moving towards me. Seems like they followed the blood trail," Jake nodded, noticing the blood dripping from his hand."Be careful. They seem to not care about starting a fire. I think you should proceed with the last resort," Mia said with a worried look as she operated the traps, making it harder for them to catch up with her brother."Yes, I will. You should get out of here then!" Jake responded, advising his sister to leave the area so she wouldn't get caught up in what was about to happen."O-okay, be careful!" Mia replied before the call ended.Mia, keeping watch, stood up and began making her way out of there.Meanwhile, Jake decided to resort to the last plan they had prepared."Step... Step...!" "Swish...!""Where are you running off to, traitor!" Before he could escape, his enemies arrived and surrounded him once ag

............The Dragorin martial artists have been sought after as both protectors and teachers, their expertise coveted by kings and warriors alike. Even in modern times, the family continues to uphold its legacy, producing some of the world's most skilled and revered martial artists.Behind all the appearances, the Dragorin Hidden Family had a hidden truth. The family was large, with some members designated as main family and others as branch family.The main family, headed by the patriarch, and their descendants enjoyed more privileges and resources compared to the branch family members. This created a hierarchy where main family members were always considered superior to the branch family members, receiving better treatment.The younger generation of the main family looked down on the branch family members, seeing them as nothing more than servants within the family.This dynamic persisted to the present day, with branch family members becoming mere tools for the head of the fa

............"I don't know about SORT, as you mentioned, Master, but there are one or two individuals who are keeping this country from collapsing into disorder and maintaining the peaceful lives of ordinary people," Jake stated after taking a sip of water from the glass Mia handed over."Hmm, just two individuals? What kind of people are they to control the whole law and order and have such a strong deterrent against those high and mighty Martial Artists?" Rohan spoke in surprise and awe in his tone."We never met them personally, so we have no idea about that, but I'm certain that even the Eight Sectums and Hidden Families feel wary of them, and they've never broken the rules set up by the two esteemed individuals," Mia and Jake both shook their heads as Jake spoke with awe and respect in his tone."Hmm, if those hidden forces are wary of the two, then they must be great individuals. Now I feel like meeting these two esteemed figures!" Rohan muttered eagerly, anticipating the encou

............"Please pay attention to the things we are going to discuss in today's meeting, and voice your doubts after I am done explaining," Priya said, gesturing for Sofia to start the projector."Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know, our Johnson Investment Group isn't very old and stabilized not long ago, but our owner is very wealthy and saw the potential in this city, so he decided to invest in our future!" Priya spoke in a calm and deliberate manner."He wants one very simple thing: our development. He wants Willowbrook City to develop a decade ahead of other cities or even other countries, and to become the number one city in the world when it comes to development!" Priya continued, adding more details.Priya then explained how their development could surpass other cities or even countries, not just in infrastructure but also in technology, the medical field, the food industry, the music industry, the movie industry, and more."Each field needs to develop many times over what i
