“Come on, beautiful aunt. Don’t pretend to be pure. Don’t you also want a better life?”The voice of a young man sounded arrogant and slightly drunk. It made Fang Zhe’s heart tremble violently.He recognized that voice. Zhao Ming Yao, the third young master of the Zhao family—known for being arrogant, brutal, and untouchable by family law.When Fang Zhe pushed the wine storage room door slightly open, he saw his aunt being forced against the wall. Her face was pale, her hands trembling as she tried to resist Zhao Ming Yao, who approached her with a disgusting smile.The sight tore Fang Zhe’s heart apart.Outside, heavy rain poured over the Zhao family compound, soaking the vast marble courtyard like that of an ancient noble estate. But for Fang Zhe, the real storm was in this room.Since childhood, he had lived under the Zhao family’s roof—not as a member, but merely as a skinny youth in simple servant’s clothes. He didn’t know his origins, not even who his parents were.The only fami

DIIIIIING!A light-blue transparent panel appeared before Fang Zhe, visible only to him. Below it, two options glowed brightly.1. Basic Combat Mastery.Enhances reflexes, striking power, and basic hand-to-hand combat techniques. Suitable for direct confrontation.2. Basic Medical Proficiency.Knowledge of first aid, wound stabilization, and basic diagnosis. Suitable for non-combat rescue situations.A countdown timer appeared in the corner of the panel.00:00:10Fang Zhe looked at the girl named Erina, who was now cornered against the wall of a closed shop. One of the men was already reaching for her arm.“If I choose medical… I might be able to help after it’s too late. But if I choose combat…” he muttered, his gaze turning firmer.“I choose… Basic Combat Mastery.”DIIIIIING!‘Ability transfer in progress…’In a split second, a burning sensation flowed from his chest to his abdomen, then spread throughout his entire body. His muscles tightened. His bones felt as if they were being r

KLIIIIK!The notification sound struck Fang Zhe’s heart like lightning.He froze. Then slowly lowered his head to look at the system panel.—Host Status: Fang ZheOccupation: Personal BodyguardSystem Points: 0Charisma: Level 1 — Young Master Handsome Aura of Shange City—“What?”His face stiffened instantly.“WHAT?!”He immediately jumped up from the bed.“System! Did you steal my points?!”DIIIIIING!‘The host voluntarily upgraded Charisma.’“Voluntarily my ass!” he snapped.“I JUST TOUCHED IT!”DIIIIIING!‘Touch confirmation has been considered as consent.’The veins on his temple throbbed.“One hundred and fifty points… That was the result of my hard work this afternoon!”‘Investment in appearance has long-term benefits.’“Long-term benefits? I’m a bodyguard, not a contestant in some handsome face competition!”The panel remained blue. Cold. Without guilt. Fang Zhe paced back and forth in the small room.“Level 1 Charisma… Young master handsome aura… What is this even for?! To

Erina stared at his back for a few more seconds.She could feel a strange aura from the man standing before her. Calm. Steady. As if the situation in this corridor posed no danger at all.She simply replied shortly,“As long as… you don’t kill them.”The corner of Fang Zhe’s lips lifted slightly.“That’s enough… to test my abilities.”The three men in black suits exchanged glances. Then one of them snorted coldly.“Take action? Who does this kid think he is?”The largest man stepped forward first. He was nearly two meters tall, the muscles beneath his suit clearly visible. He raised his massive hand, aiming to grab Fang Zhe by the collar.His movement was fast.But… Fang Zhe moved first.There was no exaggerated motion. Just a small step to the side.The large hand passed through empty air.In that same split second, Fang Zhe had already twisted his waist.BAM!His palm struck the man’s elbow from the side.“AAARGH!”The man’s elbow joint bent in an unnatural direction. His body spun

Fang Zhe continued to stare blankly at the transparent panel floating before his eyes.The “20%” text was still clearly displayed. He almost frowned.‘So… this system doesn’t just grant abilities… it also measures other people’s feelings?’The thought felt strange. Not long after, the panel slowly began to fade.Then it disappeared completely.“Fang Zhe?”Erina’s voice pulled him back to reality. He lifted his gaze.Now Erina was looking at him with a hint of confusion.“Why did you suddenly go silent?”Fang Zhe gave a faint smile.“Sorry.”He picked up his glass of water.“Just a little tired.”Erina tilted her head slightly, but she didn’t press further.“Then let’s call it a night.”She wiped her lips with a napkin.“We still have a morning meeting tomorrow.”Fang Zhe nodded.“Alright, Boss.”*A few minutes later.They went down from the rooftop restaurant and returned to the car.The city at night was still lively with vehicle lights and brightly lit skyscrapers.The black car mo
