"Come in," Promise Nelson called out as she closed the file in front of her. A slim woman in a black business suit, wearing frameless glasses, pushed the door open and walked in."Good morning, Miss Promise," the woman greeted.This woman was Promise's secretary, Layla, a graduate from a prestigious local university. During her internship, she caught Promise's eye and was directly appointed as the president's secretary.Layla was exceptionally capable and had been working with Promise for three years, handling all affairs meticulously and earning Promise's deep trust. The two had a close personal relationship and referred to each other as sisters in private."Good morning to you too. These documents are all sorted. Please deliver them to the department heads..." Promise began.Bang!Before she could finish her sentence, the office's mahogany door was forcefully flung open.Being interrupted mid-sentence made Promise a bit annoyed. She was about to scold the intruder when she looked up

SkyRise Corporation's security team is divided into internal and external security, totaling over seventy personnel responsible for the company's overall safety. The external security team, consisting of about forty members, is made up of robust individuals who handle patrols, gatekeeping, fire prevention, and monitoring. Their pay and benefits are slightly higher than those of regular security guards. The internal security team, however, is composed of retired special forces, martial arts experts, and elite fighters, boasting significant combat skills. They are further classified into top-tier, senior, intermediate, and junior levels, with varying salaries and benefits. Even the junior-level internal security personnel earn more than typical white-collar workers, making them the envy of many guards. As the only top-tier internal security officer and acting head of the security department at SkyRise Corporation, Dawson was beaming with joy. The HR manager had just brought him som

"Alright, everyone, disperse. Go back to what you were doing..." "Move along, why are you still standing here? Got nothing to do? Get lost." "Didn't you hear Dawson? Get the hell out of here!" Some of the security guards who were close to Dawson immediately stepped up to shoo away the others, their attitudes arrogant and overbearing. Given Dawson's influence in the security department and the intimidation from his cronies, the other guards had no choice but to leave. A few even cast apologetic and sympathetic glances at Campbell Watson. Offending Dawson meant that even if you were the newly appointed director by the CEO, life here would be tough. The previous director being forced to resign was a bloody example of that. "Director Campbell, I'm really sorry, but we don't have any extra offices in the security department right now. You'll have to make do for the time being. We'll arrange a new office for you as soon as one becomes available." Dawson turned to look at Campbell Wat

"The third option? Alright, Farris, if you crawl under my legs, I'll let this slide. How about that? Don't say I didn't give you a chance," Hussein said, placing one foot on a nearby stool, his face full of mockery as he stared at Farris.Seeing Farris's look of suppressed anger only made Hussein feel more triumphant. He knew Farris desperately needed this job, which is why he kept humiliating him. He wanted everyone to know that crossing him would lead to this kind of outcome."Hussein, don't go too far," Farris said, clenching his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging as he tried to contain his rage. He felt deeply humiliated."Are you out of your mind, Farris? Hussein is giving you a chance, and you're still talking nonsense?" one of Hussein's buddies chimed in."Hussein, you're too soft. If it were me, I'd slap him a few dozen times before even talking to him," another one of Hussein's friends added, clearly enjoying the situation.The other security guards, who were friends wi

The incident at the gym was just a minor episode for Campbell Watson. If it weren't for Hussein pushing his luck and trying to teach him a lesson, Campbell wouldn't have bothered to lift a finger. It was like an adult bullying a child—what's the point?However, for Dawson, it was big news. He had always thought Campbell was a pushover. But when he heard that Hussein had been kicked away by Campbell, his perception of Campbell changed immediately.With his own skills, Dawson could defeat Hussein, but to take him down with a single kick? That was beyond his confidence. Could it be that Campbell was a hidden master?Dawson felt a bit relieved. If Hussein hadn't tested Campbell's strength, he would have continued to foolishly believe that Campbell was easy to deal with."Looks like I need to come up with a new plan," Dawson thought, sitting in his office, deep in contemplation.While Dawson was figuring out how to deal with Campbell, Campbell was at the HR department, completing his onboa

"Will you really agree to any of my requests?" Campbell Watson asked, his hand sliding onto Kaitlyn's round, firm backside, giving it a squeeze. He wore a mischievous smile.Upstairs, Promise Nelson's face grew even darker upon hearing this."Men are all the same," Promise muttered angrily. She turned and stormed into the private room, slamming the door behind her, startling Magnus Nelson inside."Promise, what's wrong? Who made you angry? Where's Campbell? Didn't I ask you to bring him along?" Magnus asked, concerned as he saw his daughter's upset face."He's dead," Promise snapped back, clearly irritated.Uh...Magnus was taken aback. That sounded a bit odd.Downstairs, Kaitlyn couldn't help but smirk as she saw how upset Promise was."Hmph, trying to compete with me for a man, Promise? You'll never win against me," Kaitlyn thought, her eyes gleaming with a victorious look.There seemed to be a deep grudge between her and Promise Nelson."Ahem, well, I have something to do. Bye now.

"Hey, pretty boy up front, get over here!"Campbell Watson was standing under the shade of a tree, waiting for a taxi, when he was startled by a loud shout.Pretty boy?Campbell was momentarily confused and instinctively looked around.There was no one else nearby, so the "pretty boy" must be referring to him. But since when was he considered a pretty boy?Campbell was utterly baffled."Yeah, I'm talking to you! Who else would I be talking to?"A young man with a buzz cut strode over, his face full of arrogance and menace, pointing angrily at Campbell.Three other young men with unfriendly expressions quickly surrounded him."Are you talking to me?"Campbell pointed at his own nose, asking in surprise.He was certain he didn't know these four men.And he was even more puzzled as to why he was being called a pretty boy."That's right, you little punk. Everyone in East Sea City knows Kaitlyn belongs to our boss. And you, pretty boy, had the guts to flirt with her? You've got some nerve.

"Sir, we are from the Divine Dragon Club, and today was a misunderstanding. We mistook you for someone else and offended you. Please, sir, be magnanimous and don't hold it against us. I am willing to compensate you with one million for your trouble..." Lucas quickly composed himself after the initial shock and apologized with utmost respect.Zayn and Sullivan stood beside him, not daring to make a sound, their heads bowed, and their bodies trembling slightly. In front of a master of martial arts at the Xuan level, they were no different from ants.Lucas understood this very well, which is why he specifically mentioned the Divine Dragon Club.The boss behind the Divine Dragon Club, Mr. Flannery, was a master at the Di level and held a position on the Celestial Nation's Earth Ranking. Those on the Earth Ranking were the elite among Di level masters, possessing strength far beyond the average Di level master.Although the young man before them was already a Xuan level martial arts master

Half an hour later, an ambulance took the severely injured Lucas and his three companions away.Prince Long quickly got wind of the incident. When he saw the four of them in the hospital, he flew into a rage on the spot.Who in East Sea City didn't know that Lucas and his crew were Prince Long's trusted lieutenants? There's an old saying, "You don't hit a dog without considering its owner." This was a direct slap in his face."Dammit! Who dares to mess with me? Lucas, do you know anything about that little punk's background?" Prince Long asked, his expression twisted with fury as he touched the vivid red lotus tattoo on his head. He looked like a beast ready to devour someone, his entire presence radiating menace.If he didn't get even, his reputation in the underworld would plummet. Who would dare to work for him after this? Not only that, but the Divine Dragon Club's prestige would also take a hit."Prince, I only know his name is Campbell Watson. I don't know much else, but he see

"...Oh my God, that scared me to death... Who is that guy? His eyes are terrifying."Only after Campbell Watson disappeared around the corner did the security guard shakily get up from the ground, his pale face covered in large beads of sweat from fear.Campbell walked down the street with a grim expression, exuding an aura that warned people to stay away. Passersby instinctively avoided him, their eyes filled with fear.He looked like a raging beast, giving off an extremely dangerous vibe."Let go of my child... Let go of my child...""Mommy... Mommy... Save me..."Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the crowd.The chaotic throng accidentally bumped into Campbell, pulling him out of his sorrowful state.He looked up, frowning at the noisy and chaotic crowd around him, feeling very irritated."Get out of my way... All of you, get out of my way..."At that moment, the crowd in front of Campbell parted like the Red Sea. Three men with vicious expressions, brandishing knives, were dragging
