Claudine was taken aback at Natalie's statement. She hadn't expected her cousin to find love at the annual college student event held in Forire City. Although Claudine was now a college student, she hadn't attended the event because she wasn't interested. She regretted not attending. If she had, she might have been in Natalie's position as Gabriel's girlfriend or even pulled a better man than Natalie's."He seems like a cool guy. How did Natalie pull him?" Claudine asked herself in wonder.Natalie smiled broadly in response to the well-wishes from the people. "Thank you so much for your kind words," she said genuinely.Claudine stepped forward and bluntly asked, "Hmm, sorry to interrupt, but what does he do in life? Or is he just an ordinary college student?" Her words dripped with disdain. Although Gabriel was handsome, if he didn't have an impressive job, then Claudine would not have more reason to envy her cousin.Hearing Claudine's question, Natalie glanced at Gabriel. Despite Cla

Frederik sent 10 of the 100 Rogue Riders to attack Gabriel. The men drew their bats and began to surround him.Gabriel glanced around with his keen eyes. He raised his hands in anticipation of the incoming attack.The men exchanged glances, confident they could defeat Gabriel despite their request for backup from Frederik.Two men attacked Gabriel simultaneously, one from behind and the other from in front. They swung their bat sticks simultaneously, but Gabriel swiftly caught the bat sticks with his hands.He endured the brunt of the bat sticks aimed at him as his jaw clenched. After a few seconds of holding the bat sticks, he managed to counter the attack, sending the two men staggering back and falling to the ground.Gabriel quickly picked up the bat stick that lay nearby. He swung it as he yelled, "Who's next? I'm ready to play with you all!" He challenged boldly.The men were taken aback behind their helmets which covered their faces. They began advancing one by one, and Gabriel

The man continued to stare at his phone screen, letting it continue ringing. Another bodyguard tapped him on the shoulder as he frowned in wonder.“Hey dude, who’s calling you?” he exclaimed.The man showed his phone screen to another man, which displayed the contact name “Master Frederik.” Another bodyguard’s eyes widened in an expression mixed with surprise and worry.“Master Frederik! He’ll definitely kill us when he finds out what really happened!” he stated in worry.“We can’t go back without bringing any good news; otherwise, we’ll be finished!”“This is a disaster! I can’t believe we couldn’t defeat that lad!”“I feel we are so useless! Let alone our master, I’m even deeply disappointed with myself.”Frederik’s first call went unanswered. Frederik furrowed his brows in surprise, wondering what his men were up to.A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he muttered confidently. “I knew they couldn’t answer my call because they were probably beating up that useless guy! I can

Gabriel immediately nodded, inviting her to sit in a welcoming tone. "Sure, you can sit here," he responded.The lady, none other than Cleora, pulled out a chair in front of Gabriel and sat down. Cleora was Mrs. Naomi's assistant, and she was on duty on campus today.For the first few minutes, there was no conversation between them. They solely focused on the menu before placing their orders with the waitress.Once the waitress left, Cleora began to study Gabriel, trying to memorize the man's face as she frowned."Sorry, but I think we've met before. I forgot your name, though." Cleora's words made Gabriel look up as he smiled faintly."My name is Gabriel Bruhn. I'm a student in the Bachelor of Science in Business Management program. We've indeed met before; you came to my class with Mrs. Naomi," Gabriel responded.Cleora's eyes widened as she nodded in understanding. She suddenly remembered Gabriel, the student who had caught her attention with his nonchalant attitude.Cleora was use

One of the men's phones rang. He took out his phone from his pocket to check who was calling. His eyes widened when the contact name "Master" popped up on the screen. Wasting no time, he immediately answered the call."Good afternoon, Master. We have Cleora in our sights. We are on our mission now," the man conveyed a second after the call connected. He explained everything before his master could ask.The man on the other line of the call nodded with a smirk. "Yes, make sure she's in my arms tonight! I would rather not hear of any failure from you," his words dripped with hope and threat.The man gulped harshly, feeling the weight of his master's words. "Yes, master. I assure you she will be with you tonight."Without responding, the master ended the call unilaterally. The two men wasted no time and immediately put their plan into action. If they didn't act quickly, Cleora would end up passing through the deserted shortcut, and they would lose their chance to kidnap her.The black se
