(The Next Day) "Brother, what happened the night before? Aunt Olivia seemed to enter our rooms multiple times as if to check up on us," Jasmine and Fiona approached Ryder who was about to head to the station. "There was a robber, so I asked her to keep an eye on you to make sure you were safe," Ryder explained, lying without batting an eye. "Ohhhh," Fiona and Jasmine muttered, nodded, then headed back to continue to slack off. "Off to the station," Ryder announced walking out of the villa, wondering what surprises would be waiting for him. In no time, he got to the station. The moment he got to the door, the officers surrounded him almost immediately as if they were waiting for him. "Sir," One of them called, his head down, the others also didn't dare look at Ryder. "Why haven't you all gone back home to rest?" Ryder raised his brows, wondering why those on the night shift haven't left. "Sir, something happened after you left," the officer gathered his courage and reported. "W

"Ryder, it's been a while," Henry's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone. "Yes it is," Ryder chuckled, knowing he was calling to congratulate him. "Ryder," Selena's voice also sounded as she called, "How have you been?" She asked, her tone filled with concern. "I'm good," Ryder responded. He hated conversations like this, but there was absolutely nothing he could do about it, so he could only wait to hear what they had to say. "We heard about what you did," Selena said, the concern in her voice increased. "And I just say you've done a good job," She continued, complimenting him. "The higher ups have taken notice of you and I'm sure soon enough you'll be promoted and transferred," Henry chuckled, chipping in. Ryder's eyes flashed with a glint hearing this. That was just perfect for what he wanted. Also, he understood what Henry was implying. His actions this time nearly exposed some certain individuals, thus they would transfer him so he would stop being able to ha

"Now, let's start the grouping," Ryder began, his expression slowly became serious as he stood up. "For fairness' sake, I'll mention each group and what they'll do, then you can conveniently either rearrange yourselves and if you're okay with the group you're in, each group would decide where they want to belong," Ryder continued raising his hands, "The first group would be the combat unit," Ryder started, his voice getting serious with each second. "And just like the name suggests, you'll focus purely on combat. You would be skilled in using any kind of weapon and also adapting to any situation you find yourselves in." Ryder explained, his eyes burning with clarity. There was no need to talk too much about each group as he was sure each of the men would understand. "The next would be the Medical team," He continued raising his second finger. "And just as the name suggests, you'll be responsible for the Medical treatment of every single person within the group." "Don't wo

"Hey stop there," A loud arrogant voice came just before they could move forcing the three to stop.Hearing the voice, the students around instantly scattered, clearing out a path as though Ryder and the others were plagues.Some bold ones even brought out their phones to record what was about to happen.They could all tell one thing, the young man was going to be beaten up by Jake and his underlings. As for what the young man did, they didn't know and could only take pity on him.As for Jake and his underlings, they were notorious in the college and were known all around for their atrocities, yet the school had turned a blind eye to it all.Well, this was because of the Harrison family's influence. There was nothing they could do to the spoilt brat.Soon enough, five hefty figures surrounded Ryder and the two girls."Ryder, I didn't expect you to be so brave to walk right into my turf on your own," A mocking voice came as Jake's figure slowly approached Ryder who had been surrounded

"Nah, you don't punch like that. Straighten your back and push out your chest," Ryder continued to correct, his eyes flashing with a strange light."No, if you do it that way, you'll be putting all the strain on your lower body which would later become something else in the future.""Arch with your legs slightly curved, your chest pushed forward, that way you can prevent any injuries and also bring out your full strength,"For the next thirty minutes or so. Ryder's voice was the only thing that could be heard inside the dojo.The rest of the men had all gathered to watch the master fight against Ryder as Ryder corrected him.All throughout, the master had been the one making a move, yet, he had not been able to touch Ryder.But then, the men were also not fools, they could see that the speed and fighting skills of the master was improving rapidly.Even the output of his strength has surged. It was as though the invisible shackles holding back the master had been ripped off.Kelvin on
