People complimented Cecilia all the time, but that was mostly from the ones she already knew.So, she noticed a trend recently.Handsome men were approaching her, and most of them had the intention of dating her or tempting her, despite knowing she was married.This had never happened before.There were isolated cases like Jack Shamus, but nothing like the recent times.She wasn’t angry at those who approached her but at the one who was sending these men to her.“Who’s behind you?” Cecilia asked in a cold anger. Her gaze alone told the handsome man that he needed to be careful while answering.“There’s no one behind me, miss,” he smiled politely. “You seem to be mistaken about something. Your mood isn’t good right now, so I’ll meet you later.”He turned around and was leaving, but she held his hand and stopped him.To his surprise, her strength was great. He was not able to free himself with just a yank.“Give me the name,” Cecilia growled in a low voice, “and I’ll let you go.”Her gr

A few weeks passed.Kevin was yet to return, but Serenity company’s value skyrocketed over the past month.However, Brielle and Orland lost all the money they took as a loan.They believed that they invested into something legitimate, but the suppliers terminated their contracts. Several important customers moved to the competing companies because they somehow knew the exact costs, so they undercut what Brielle and Orland offered.Last but not least, the new investment failed because the acquisition paperwork was sabotaged.The shower bank didn’t care that they were betrayed.The first month’s interest date approached.But they didn’t have any money with them to pay.They came to Cecilia to ask her to pay, but she didn’t answer them right away.“I need to discuss this with my husband,” Cecilia said.“I-If we don’t pay it back, you’re still going to be affected because you indirectly gave guarantee,” Brielle said.Cecilia frowned. “Are you threatening me right now, Mom? You were the on

Jack's fist came down like a hammer.Kevin twisted his body sideways, and the punch missed his face by inches.BOOM~!The wall of the cubic space behind him bent and folded, but it withstood his punch.The shocking thing was that Jack's fist had never even touched it.The compressed aura surrounding his fist caused that. He paused it down to his elbow and crafted a chain elbow attack to strike Kevin.It detonated the moment it closed in on Kevin, but Kevin deflected the elbow and the energy that it blasted.It flew and hit the couch, completely blasting it into fragments including the wood and sponge. It became unrecognizable.Kevin's eyes narrowed because his hand was slightly trembling. “His aura isn't just strengthening his body…”Jack had learned how to make his aura behave like a delayed explosive. What more did he learn?Kevin wanted to easily crush Jack, but he wanted to see just what Jack could do.Jack spun and drove his elbow toward Kevin's ribs.Kevin crossed his arms.THUD

Kevin’s fingers bled from the vicious pulling of the strings.He landed on his feet safely and forcibly pulled the strings back. “Come to me!”The strings vibrated under tension, but Kevin didn’t move from his spot.And then the strings broke.Jack’s eyes widened as his fingernails were ripped apart.Kevin closed the distance in the blink of an eye and punched him in the jaw.Jack flew backward. Kevin followed. A barrage of fists descended down on himJack blocked the first, dodged the second, parried the third.But the fourth struck his shoulder, and the fifth slammed into his ribs.Kevin's movements became increasingly vicious. Every punch carried a different vibration. Some struck the flesh; others passed through his defenses and shook his bones.Jack gritted his teeth. “He’s changing the frequency of his energy with every strike. What is this martial art?”Kevin’s fist came toward his chest.Jack didn't block this time. He stepped inside the punch and caught his wrist.The wind ar

Outside the villa, Kevin stopped.“Come out,” he said. “I know you’re here.”A portal opened, and an old lady with her eyes sewn shut walked out of it. “Kakaka,” she laughed a little. “That was an entertaining fight. I didn’t expect Jack would lose so soundly. Your strength is greater than expected.”“Tell this to everyone of those thorns,” Kevin said in a serious tone. “I’m giving them some time to stop what they’re doing.”“Old horses can’t learn new tricks, Kevin,” she chuckled. “Aren’t you just wasting time?”“I’m giving you time, too, Rustborne,” Kevin added.She was surprised. “You know me? I don’t remember revealing myself to you.”“For the good or bad, I got my hands on a system,” Kevin said. “Using this, I want to make the world a better place. Anybody who wants to ruin this world will have to face me, whether it be the secret organizations or the vampires hiding in the shadows.”“Kakaka, you’re certainly bold, boy. But.. a single person can’t fight the whole world,” she said
