Aidan originally intended to cripple Campbell Watson to set an example, but he didn't expect to hit a brick wall.This was really a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.Aidan's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort before turning to leave."Hey, Dragon Prince, aren't you forgetting something?"Campbell called out, spreading his hand and raising an eyebrow suggestively at Aidan.Aidan paused, momentarily confused.But then he quickly remembered the bet they had made earlier, and his face turned even darker.He had never taken the bet seriously. First, he had immense confidence in himself, which turned out to be overconfidence. Second, even if he lost, he didn't think anyone would dare to claim his wager.The Divine Dragon Club's stuff wasn't something you could just take.But clearly, Campbell had the guts to actually ask for his prize!"Are you sure?" Aidan asked, his face grim."You're not planning to back out, are you?"Campbell glared at him, his

Campbell Watson slept like a log and didn't wake up until nine in the morning.It had been a long time since he had slept so soundly.It showed just how exhausted he had been the day before."Are you going shopping again?"Campbell asked as he stepped out of his room and saw Giselle changing her shoes at the door. He paused, asking instinctively.He was starting to develop a bit of a phobia about shopping."Going to work."Giselle replied coolly as she finished putting on her shoes and hurried out."Working on the weekend, huh? Busy bee."Campbell muttered to himself. He noticed breakfast on the table and eagerly made his way over, pouring himself a glass of milk and digging in.As he was eating, Promise Nelson also woke up."Take me to the office later."Promise said slowly, sipping her milk and watching Campbell devour his breakfast."Mm... What? Isn't it the weekend?"Campbell mumbled through a mouthful of food."There are still documents to handle. And don't you know, your securit

The once noisy scene suddenly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.The scarred young man, known as Lennox, stared in disbelief at his subordinate, who now lay like a heap of mud in the corner, foaming at the mouth.He turned his head and saw that, at some point, a man holding a bouquet of flowers had appeared beside Giselle. The man was slowly retracting his foot.This man was Campbell Watson.Campbell had joyfully bought a bouquet, intending to surprise Giselle, but upon arriving at the hospital, he witnessed this scene.That scoundrel Fathi had not only been leering at his goddess but had also dared to lay hands on her. Of course, Campbell couldn't tolerate that.A single kick had only broken a few bones; he had gone easy."Beautiful lady, these flowers are for you. Do you know what they symbolize? A promise of happiness."After kicking Fathi away, Campbell handed the flowers to Giselle, his eyes full of affection, under the astonished gazes of everyone around."Wow, how

"This is my best buddy, Campbell Watson. All of you, get over here and greet Campbell," Lennox barked at the group of thugs."Hi, Campbell," they mumbled, supporting each other as they looked at Campbell with complicated expressions. After all, Campbell had just beaten them up, and a few of them had broken arms and legs. It was impossible for them not to feel uneasy around him."Ferris, take them to the orthopedic clinic for a thorough check-up. Don't skimp on the money. Also, take an extra thousand dollars to Raymond as compensation," Lennox ordered decisively, showing his generosity towards his friends."Got it, boss," replied a young man with dyed blond hair. He led the injured group to see the doctor."Let's go grab a drink," Lennox said, pulling Campbell away from the hospital. They found a small barbecue stand in a nearby alley, ordered some grilled meat, and got two cases of beer.Before the food even arrived, they each downed five bottles."Damn, that feels good," Lennox excl

Huff, huff...A guy with dyed yellow hair ran up, hands on his knees, gasping for breath. He spoke in broken sentences, "Boss, Blue Wolf Gang's Fahim... brought his men and trashed our places... and took some of our guys...""What? Damn it, those bastards! I'm gonna kill them!" Lennox roared, his face twisted with rage, ready to charge out and fight.Campbell Watson, however, remained calm. He looked at the yellow-haired guy and asked, "Did the Blue Wolf Gang leave any message?"The yellow-haired guy glanced at Campbell, hesitating."Are you deaf? Campbell asked you a question! Speak up!" Lennox shouted, giving the guy a swift kick.Stumbling, the yellow-haired guy quickly responded, "Yes, yes, they said if we want our guys back, we need to bring $300,000 to the Inferno Bar by 1:30, or else... we'll be collecting bodies.""Damn Fahim! He dares to mess with my brothers; I'll chop him up!" Lennox's face contorted with fury, his murderous intent so palpable that the nearby BBQ vendor qu

"Oh, are you threatening me? Fine, I'll take it as a threat. Let's see what your fifty pieces of trash can do to me," Campbell Watson said, slowly scanning the crowd with a look of utter disdain.His contemptuous expression instantly enraged the surrounding thugs."To hell with you! I'll kill you!""Brothers, let's get him! Beat him to death!""You're dead meat!"Seven or eight thugs closest to him shouted angrily, grabbing iron rods and charging at him with murderous intent, as if they were ready to devour him.Lennox wanted to step in and help, but Campbell stopped him with just a glance.Planting his feet firmly, Campbell clenched his fists and suddenly struck out like two raging dragons, hitting the first two thugs in the stomach.The two men, who had been rushing forward, suddenly halted and then flew backward like cannonballs, crashing into the thugs behind them and knocking them to the ground in a chaotic heap.Campbell tilted his head to dodge a steel pipe aimed at his head, t

SkyRise Corporation, Security Department.Promise Nelson sat in the temporary audience section, her face cold and indifferent, occasionally glancing at her phone. It was already 2 PM, and Campbell Watson still hadn't returned. As the head of the security department, this was highly irresponsible."President Nelson, it's time. Should we start?"Sitting next to Promise was an older man with a balding head, who adjusted his glasses and smiled warmly. His small eyes peered through the lenses, lingering on Promise's ample chest, making his smile even broader.This balding man was Adrian, a shareholder of the corporation and the head of the Human Resources Department.The security department's competition had invited several high-ranking officials to observe. Present were President Promise Nelson, shareholder Adrian, General Manager Berloff Nelson, HR Manager Iker, Secretary Layla, and several branch managers, along with some employees interested in the competition.The room was packed, wit

"I challenge..."Hussein stood in the ring, his nose in the air, exuding arrogance. His gaze slowly swept over the crowd of security guards.Oh, come on, you're a senior guard. Why are you looking at us?Some of the junior and mid-level guards felt uneasy under Hussein's gaze and couldn't help but grumble."Campbell Watson, I challenge you!"Hussein's eyes suddenly locked onto Campbell Watson, who was chatting with Layla.Everyone's attention immediately shifted to them.Layla froze, feeling like she'd been caught red-handed, her face turning bright red as she quickly sat up straight.Campbell raised an eyebrow, looking at Hussein with clear annoyance.Are you blind? Can't you see I'm flirting with a beautiful woman here? Challenge my foot!Hussein felt a chill run down his spine under Campbell's glare, a bit of fear creeping in.He remembered getting kicked over by Campbell in the gym just two days ago.Damn it, he really didn't want to do this.But he had no choice. It was Dawson's

Facing Dawson's fist, which looked like it could knock out a bull, Campbell Watson didn't even flinch. His eyes were full of disdain."Kid, you brought this on yourself. Don't blame me," Dawson growled, his anger rising. He added more force to his already massive punch, aiming straight for Campbell's face.The force of the punch created a gust of wind, whistling sharply through the air. Campbell's hair was blown wildly, but his expression remained calm and composed, with a hint of mockery.Many in the audience couldn't help but feel frustrated. They were on edge, while Campbell acted like it was no big deal. "Come on, can't you at least look a little scared or serious?" they thought. "What's with that calm and collected look?"Smack.Just as the tension reached its peak, Campbell finally made his move. He opened his right hand and caught Dawson's fist.A powerful force exploded from the point of contact, sending a shockwave through the air. Dust on the ring was blown away in all dir

"Who do you think will win?" Campbell Watson suddenly leaned in towards Berloff Nelson and Adrian, asking with a wide smile."Hussein, for sure," Berloff replied with a cold laugh, glancing at Campbell. He was absolutely certain.Adrian, being the sly old fox he was, didn't answer directly. Instead, he countered with a question, "Director Campbell, who do you think will win?"Just moments ago, the tension between the three was so thick it seemed like a fight could break out any second. Now, they were huddled together, whispering.Promise Nelson, standing nearby, was speechless. She had no idea what kind of scheme Campbell was plotting this time."I think Farris will win. Look at his size; he's definitely got the strength," Campbell said, clearly favoring Farris."Pfft, Director Campbell, you might be good at martial arts, but your judgment is way off," Berloff scoffed, showing his disdain."Pfft yourself! Want to make a bet?" Campbell slapped Berloff on the back of the head, igniting
