The art of seduction
Suyin’s cheeks reddened like ripe cherries as she heard Yutai’s words. She felt so embarrassed that she couldn’t even bear to look at Zi Han and she immediately tried to get up and leave.Daisy, however, held her arm, preventing her from moving.“Where are you going? We are still in the middle of the game.”“I don’t want to play anymore,” Suyin mumbled and tried to pull away, but Daisy tightened her grip, making her wince in pain. “Let go of me!”“It’s rude to walk away in the middle of something,” she said, holding her down. “Just sit and relax. There is no need to act like a kid.”“Yeah, it’s not like you’ve never kissed anyone,” Yutai cut in. “Just enjoy yourself a bit instead of being so uptight all the time.”Bridgette carefully studied Suyin’s face, and her reaction quickly gave away her reality. “Oh, so you really haven’t kissed anyone, have you?” she taunted. “And here I was thinking you were just feeling shy in front of us.”“I don’t want to complete this dare. Just leave her
Flames on ice
Zi Han’s face flushed, and his breath caught in his throat as he looked at Bridgette. He still couldn’t believe the most popular girl in college had just proposed to him at her own pool party. Most guys in college would give anything to impress Bridgette. But hardly anyone had managed to win her over.For a moment, Zi Han froze in place as he felt time stop around him. Several thoughts raced across his mind as he tried to figure out Bridgette’s true intentions. “You barely know me,” he spoke at last, stopping her advances. Bridgette smiled seductively and whispered, “We have all the time in the world to know each other. Don’t be such a prude.” Even a few weeks ago, Zi Han would have leaped at the chance to date someone like Bridgette, but things had changed now. Ever since he had learned about his past life, all his dreams revolved around the veiled woman, and there was no room for anyone else in his heart.“It’s wrong. We can’t do this,” he spoke firmly, his cold eyes staring back
Family politics
After dropping off Suyin and Kwang, Zi Han returned to his villa instead of going back to the Silver Wind mansion. It was an intentional move to avoid rousing any suspicion, even if he was followed.The rest of the household had already fallen fast asleep, but the butler was still wide awake and greeted Zi Han as he rang the doorbell.“Welcome home, master. I hope it was an eventful night,” he said, taking Zi Han’s watch and offering him fresh wet wipes. “Should I prepare dinner or would you like me to draw you a bath first?”“You’ve been waiting long enough. Get some sleep. I want to be alone for a while,” Zi Han replied and headed for the bathroom.After spending a good half an hour thinking in the shower, Zi Han finally decided to call it a night and hit the bed. But as soon as he was about to turn off the lights, his phone rang.His sleep vanished in an instant as he saw Feng Xiao's name flashing on the screen. He remembered handing out his number to Xiao Feng at the party but didn
A new challenge
The following day, Dongxiang showed up at the All-Star Martial Arts Centre at dusk. The classes had already been dismissed for the day, and only the trainers were still sparring inside the arena.Instead of going straight to the training room, Dongxiang waited in a guest room, where Zi Han soon met him and closed the door.“I thought we could meet at Silver Wind mansion later at night. Is everything alright, master?” Dongxiang asked.“It was urgent, and everything is not alright. I have something important to discuss,” Zi Han replied and proceeded to tell Dongxiang all about the Governor’s Martial Arts tournament and Xiao Feng’s involvement in the whole thing.Dongxiang listened to the whole story without batting an eyelid, slowly joining the dots and putting the picture together.“So, what do you make of all this?” Zi Han asked as he finished divulging the details.“I have never met Ming-Tao’s oldest son, but I have heard that he is every bit as headstrong as his father. Feng Xiao may
Lessons in Martial Arts
The Lang Brothers were only too happy to oblige. Qin Lang watched from a distance and let Yin Lang begin the training.“A martial arts user’s greatest weapon is his technique. Most martial arts cultivators on Argos usually rely on nothing but their fists and legs. But a few rare ones have a gift with specific weapons,” Yin Lang explained.Zi Han remembered Dongxiang mentioning his martial arts technique and immediately latched onto the concept.“Dongxiang is renowned for his Dragon Sword Technique, and his weapon of choice is the katana,” he remarked.Yin Lang nodded. “That is correct. Master Dongxiang is among the greatest cultivators Argos has ever seen, and I am quite certain he could slay every other martial arts user in this city in the blink of an eye. However, for unarmed fighters like us, we can only rely on the power of our bodies. So, it is important to build not just strength, but stamina and flexibility as well.”Zi Han nodded in acknowledgment and prepared to learn all tha
Collision Course
The following day, Zi Han was woken up early in the morning by Zhen Lee’s call. He was about to pick up the phone when the call disconnected, and he saw a dozen text messages flashing on his screen.Without wasting a second, he called Zhen Lee again.“What’s going on? Is something wrong?”“Two of our box trucks met with an accident at the Hong Ming Bridge. They crashed through the brickwork and fell into the river below. The men nearby reported hearing multiple explosions. I think someone must have targeted our cargo.”“It must be the damn Sand Scorpions!” Zi Han exclaimed, throwing his duvet aside and slipping into his shoes. “Get your men to secure the area. I’ll meet you at the bridge.”Zhen Lee and his men had already secured the bridge and shooed off all bystanders by the time Zi Han reached the bridge. A mob of Black Dragons, dressed in plain black T-shirts and aviators, was standing near the scene of the accident.As soon as Zi Han stepped down from the cab and headed for the br
The strike plan
Zi Han ordered the men to recover the bodies of the dead truckers and give them a proper burial before leaving the scene with Zhen Lee and heading for the safe house where Minjun and his mother had been housed.When they reached the safehouse, things looked heated up. Suzuki had his finger on the trigger and was itching to kill.“Those Sand Scorpion bastards have crossed their last line. I say we round up our men and gut those fuckers alive!” he urged, looking at Zhen Lee.But seeing Zi Han walk up beside him, Suzuki lowered his gaze and quietened down.“Now’s not the time to lose your temper,” Zi Han said calmly and placed a firm hand on Suzuki’s shoulder. “We won’t let this go unpunished. But we need to hit them where it hurts the most.”Suzuki nodded in assent and stepped aside, making way for them.As soon as Zi Han entered the house, Minjun fell on his knees, clutching his hands together. “I swear I didn’t know anything. I…haven’t had any contact with Noah ever since we came here
A favor returned
Dongxiang assembled his elite strike team and instructed them to go with Zi Han and follow his orders to the letter. Meanwhile, Zhen Lee arranged the trackers and explosives from their secret warehouse a few blocks away.The five trucks had already entered Moakao’s industrial zone by the time Zi Han and his men reached the location. Zhen Lee rolled his window down and signaled to the shooters inside the SUV. “Get ready. Those must be the trucks.”As the driver sped up and got closer to the moving trucks, Zhen Lee noticed that the truckers were wearing yellow bandanas with black stripes, confirming his suspicion.He immediately reached out to Zi Han on the phone.“These are all Sand Scorpion trucks. Just give the orders, and we will take them down.”“No! Keep your guns holstered!” Zi Han commanded from the other end. “Just tail the trucks from a safe distance and wait for them to stop. They killed two of our truckers. We need to send a message to prove who holds the upper hand.”Zhen
The Wasp and the Scorpion
Zi Han’s carefully executed attack had struck a devastating blow, plunging Heshing into chaos. The explosions had not only destroyed the Sand Scorpion supplies but also killed Kailen and his group of runts.As people rushed for cover, fleeing to the safety of their homes, the Sand Scorpion fighters manning the checkpoints sent word to their leader, requesting support.Noah arrived on location within the next few minutes, accompanied by his elite grunts and gunners. He had heard the explosion from miles away but had no idea what had triggered the blasts. But now, as he looked at the burning wreckage of the trailer trucks, everything became clear.Someone had carefully targeted their supplies on purpose, and the message was clear: the Sand Scorpions weren’t safe even inside their own territory.As Noah sifted through the wreckage, he spotted a mutilated corpse, ripped to pieces. He kicked the dismembered bust and flipped it over with his shoe, only to see Kailen’s half-burnt face.“You s
Relentless
Dongxiang’s informers in Heshing confirmed that the hit was a success, and all five trailer trucks had been completely destroyed, along with the supplies they were carrying. Zi Han’s plan had worked perfectly and stirred panic among the Sand Scorpion loyalists, causing most of the shops and stores to shut down for the day.“That should teach them not to mess with us!” Zhen Lee exclaimed, pumping his fists in the air. “I bet Noah must be wetting his bed right now.”Dongxiang, however, chose to be the voice of reason instead of getting carried away. “We should not get too far ahead of ourselves. Noah is ill-tempered and reckless. And we all know a wounded wolf backed into a corner can be more dangerous than a tiger.” Zi Han was still staring at the detonator in his hand. With the press of a single button, he had taken out Kailen and his crew of grunts in one fell swoop. He realized was no longer an innocent college student, but had turned into a cold-blooded killer. It felt scary kno
