Hudson looked up, his expression filled with doubt.The man standing in front of him looked to be in his thirties. Nothing about his appearance stood out, average build, average face, but the hostility in his eyes was sharp and unmistakable.‘Another stranger with a grudge? What was this about?’ he thought.“Richard, what do you think you’re doing?” Ivory’s voice cut in before Hudson could respond. She stood abruptly, her eyes flashing as she glared at him.Richard’s cold stare softened the moment it landed on her. He forced a smile. “Ivory, I heard you had someone new around you, so I came to take a look.”Ivory let out a sharp, dismissive laugh. “Who I’m with is none of your business. I told you a long time ago, there’s nothing between us. If you keep clinging to this, don’t blame me when I block you out of my life for good.”Richard’s face tightened. Panic flickered in his eyes. “Ivory, don’t be angry. I’m just here to check in. I didn’t mean anything else, I swear, I—”“Enough. Le

“What? Four hundred million?”The crowd froze. Just a moment ago, the bid was only three hundred million. How had it jumped a full hundred million in one move?Murmurs spread across the auction hall. People whispered in disbelief. Was Hudson crazy? Who raised the price by a hundred million at once?The room buzzed with confusion, but all eyes were locked on Hudson. Some thought he was reckless, just another young man trying to show off. Others wondered if he actually had the money to back it up.Richard, sitting stiffly in his seat, glared at Hudson. He hadn’t expected him to interfere. Raising the price by a hundred million? To Richard, that wasn’t courage, it was arrogance. And he wasn’t about to lose face in front of the room, not to Hudson.“Five hundred million!” Richard called out sharply, lifting his paddle with confidence.Gasps rippled through the room. The stakes had just skyrocketed.But Hudson didn’t even flinch. Calmly, almost casually, he raised his hand again. “Seven hu

“Miss Wilson, hello!”Richard approached Freya with a charming smile.Freya blinked, startled out of her thoughts. When she saw it was the son of the president of the California Financial Association, she froze for a moment before quickly standing up, returning his greeting with a polite smile.“Mr. Thomas, hello.”The California Financial Association was ranked among the top fifty financial institutions in the country, a powerhouse that controlled enormous capital and influence. For a long time, Freya had dreamed of connecting with them, but to people of their level, the Wilson Group was insignificant , hardly worth noticing.Yet now, Richard, the future heir of the Association, was standing in front of her and speaking to her first?Freya’s heart raced. It felt unreal, almost like a dream. She silently reminded herself that she had to seize this opportunity. If the Wilson Group could earn the Association’s support, it could not only recover from the recent losses caused by the coll

“What are you doing?”Hudson looked up at Ivory, who stood there fuming. He didn’t understand, Richard was the one provoking him, so why was she jumping into it? Their relationship might have become complicated lately, but that was private. Right now, this wasn’t her battle to fight.“Sit down,” Hudson said coldly before she could respond.Ivory froze. Everyone knew she wasn’t the type to back down easily, countless men in California’s elite circles had tried to tame her fiery temper, only to end up defeated and humiliated. That was why people called her the Black Rose of Beverly Hills, beautiful but dangerous.Yet this time, the Black Rose met her match. Without another word, she obediently sat back down.Richard was still on the dance floor, boldly taunting Hudson with every move. Ivory clenched her fists, clearly furious. “Hudson, how can you just sit there? I can’t just swallow this!” she snapped.Hudson leaned back in his chair, hands resting behind his head, looking completely r

If being nice didn’t work, Richard decided to take the hard route. He refused to believe he couldn’t deal with a nobody like Hudson, after all, he was the future heir of one of the biggest firms in California.The person Richard planned to use was James Belen , the eldest son of the influential Belen family from Los Angeles, known for their private security and martial arts business. At just twenty-six, James already had quite the reputation.“Hey, Mr. Belen!” Richard called out as he approached with a smirk.James, who was chatting with a few guests near the bar, turned and grinned. “Well, if it isn’t Richard himself!”Then he glanced behind him and spotted Freya, quietly following Richard. His grin widened into something teasing. “You really know how to make an entrance. I saw your little show earlier , I bet you had the best seat in the house, huh?”Richard’s expression darkened. He shot a disgusted glance at Freya and scoffed. “Best seat? Please. She’s all fake, nothing real about

The scream that tore through the banquet hall was sharp and piercing, like a pig being slaughtered.“What the hell was that?”“Wait, was that… Richard?”Heads turned toward the restroom entrance. When people saw the scene unfolding, their faces went pale. Conversations died instantly. It looked like something straight out of a nightmare.But no one was more stunned than Freya.As someone who’d grown up in Beverly, she’d heard of the Belen family, a powerful clan with martial arts roots. James Belen was known for his fighting ability, the kind that no normal man could match. When she saw Richard bring James earlier, Freya thought Hudson didn’t stand a chance.Sure, her ex-husband had always seemed mysterious, but against someone like James? There was no way.Yet now, watching Richard sprawled on the floor while Hudson stood over him with calm, deadly eyes, Freya felt her entire worldview crack.‘He’s one of them… a fighter.’Five years together, and she’d never once realized what Huds

At an abandoned construction site on the outskirts of California, Hudson and Ivory had barely stepped out of the car when three gold-colored sedans screeched to a stop nearby.The doors swung open and more than twenty muscular men jumped out, dressed in matching black jackets with a dragon emblem on the back. It was the Blue Tiger Crew, one of the most notorious underground gangs in Southern California.Within seconds, they surrounded Hudson and Ivory, forming a tight circle.“Hudson, let me handle them,” Ivory said firmly, glancing at him with determination in her eyes.Since training under her mentor, Arlo, her grandfather, she’d learned that the only real way to improve in combat was through experience, through real fights. Ivory had long wanted to test her skills, but being the CEO of a major company meant she rarely had the chance. No one dared to challenge her, and opportunities for real sparring were rare.Now, staring at the armed thugs surrounding them, she felt oddly excited

Samuel narrowed his eyes. “Otherwise, what?”Hudson smirked. “Otherwise, you’re so fat you might as well stay here and feed the stray dogs around the block.”Samuel’s face turned red. “Big talk for a kid!” he snapped. He stomped his foot in anger, his whole body shaking with rage. “Let’s see how tough you really are today!”He was used to throwing his weight around. Even though he knew Hudson was trained in martial arts, he didn’t take him seriously. To him, Hudson was just too young to be a real threat. Those who truly walked the path of a fighter knew how difficult it was. Among ten seasoned fighters, not one would have looked at someone like Hudson and seen danger. But that arrogance was exactly what got people hurt.“Boss, he’s really strong!” one of the men shouted nervously.He was the leader of the small gang, about twenty guys in all, and after watching Hudson fight earlier, he knew this wasn’t someone they could handle. Hudson had knocked them down like dry leaves in the wind

“Bring a knife?”Samuel’s eyelids twitched. For a second, he was confused, until he remembered what Hudson had said earlier. The realization hit him like ice water. ‘So that’s it… I’m not getting out of this alive. He’s really going to take a piece of me.’His legs went weak, and the little strength he had left drained away. Still, he forced himself to stand, trembling.“Who the hell are you? What did you do to my son?” Nathan’s angry voice came through the phone. He didn’t know what was happening, but from his son’s terrified tone, he could tell it wasn’t good. He was furious, and desperate.Hudson didn’t bother to explain. He gave a rough location, an abandoned lot outside Los Angeles, and hung up. He wasn’t the type to waste words. Explanations were for the weak; the strong didn’t owe anyone a reason.“D-dude,” Samuel stammered, voice shaking, “if I tell you who hired us, will you let me go?”Hudson looked unimpressed. “You mean Enzo Miller? You think I don’t already know?”Samuel

“Watch your mouth, kid,” Nathan warned, his voice low and dangerous. “If you want to court a woman, do it properly.”Hudson, standing up to defend Ivory, had caught the veteran gang leader’s attention. Nathan assumed the young man was one of Ivory’s suitors, young people like to act tough in front of pretty women, and that made Nathan sneer. He was used to calling the shots.Samuel, seeing his father about to step in, tensed and inhaled sharply, ready to intervene. He meant to stop his father from doing anything reckless, this could go very wrong. But before he could move, a single look from Hudson froze him in place. Samuel understood instantly, Hudson knew what he was about to do, and he chose not to act. Harold, who had been quiet the whole time, hadn’t moved either. It wasn’t that Harold didn’t want to help, he simply didn’t dare. Hudson’s gaze made it clear, a pillar standing firm today would mean survival, otherwise you could end up like Jay, lying on the ground.Hudson fixed
