A pindrop silence followed. Kyle’s expression darkened immediately. His eyes raging. The veins on the back of his hands bulged as he stared at Riven. No one had ever had the guts to speak to him in that manner! A murderous glint flashed in Kyle’s eyes as he bursted into laughter. “What courage!” He sneered. “I was going to spare your life but now, you have changed my mind.” Kyle turned slightly to the men behind him. “Who wants to go first?” One of them stepped forward immediately. He was nearly two meters tall, with a thick scar running from his temple to his jaw. He cracked his neck slowly as he said, “Leave this little flea to me, young master.” Several of the guests gasped as they recognised him instantly. “It’s Iron Palm Wu!” “I had heard he once crippled eight men with his bare hands!” “He is one of the most dangerous men under Kyle Yang!” “This boy is finished, he shouldn’t have provoked Master Yang.” Iron Palm Wu rolled his shoulders before looking at Riven as t

Murmurs rose from the crowd. No one had even dared to speak to Kyle Yang in that manner. His jaw clenched in rage and embarrassment. He had met countless martial artists throughout the years. Some belonged to famous schools, others came from hidden clans but none had possessed this man’s terrifying precision. Every strike had landed on a vital point with no unnecessary stunt or wasted energy. This wasn’t just skill, it was experience. Who exactly was this young man? “Riven!” Alyssa suddenly screamed, attracting the attention of everyone, her eyes were red with fury. “Look what you’ve done!” She pointed at the unconscious fighters. “You think knowing a few tricks makes you invincible?” “My father is lying unconscious because of you! Our family has become enemies with the Yang family because of you!” She suddenly turned toward Odessa. “And it’s all because you insisted on bringing this lunatic into our family!” Suddenly, she grabbed a silver diner fork from the table. Her eyes

The guests stared in awe as Jake continued to make pleas for his life. “Even if I were to forgive you for impersonation, would that pay back the eight million dollars you had stolen from me?” Young Master Wang questioned with cold eyes. Cold sweat instantly broke out on Jake’s skin. His eyes searched frantically for an escape. Seeing none, he immediately grabbed the Young Master’s feet. “I was wrong! It was a mistake. Please have mercy!” At that moment, sirens sounded from outside the hall. Several police men walked into the hall. “Jake Wang?” Jake’s eyes widened in horror as they approached. “You’re under arrest for impersonation, fraud and embezzlement.“ Everyone watched in bewilderment as Jake was handcuffed and taken away. Some of the guest subconsciously looked up at Riven. He had told them about this but no one had believed him. Young Master Wang thanked Orion, his eyes moving to Riven and he gave a subtle nod. It wasn’t noticeable to others but Odessa caught

“Master Wei, please have mercy on us. We were wrong!” The two brothers cried in unison. “Master Wei, do you want us to let them go?” Dai asked with a respectful tone in his voice. Riven went silent for a beat before looking down at the two men kneeling in front of him. “Kyle Yang, you claim to be a martial arts practitioner but you do not follow the rules and laws guiding martial arts. You use your position to control, manipulate and oppress others for that reason, break your fingers.” Kyle’s face went as white as a sheet. His whole body went cold as he slowly looked up at Riven. Riven wasn’t joking at all! “Ma… master Wei..” “What?” Riven asked with a raised brow. “Can’t do it? But you were clamouring for me to break mine. What’s wrong?” Kyle pursed his lips exchanging glances with his brother. His body suddenly felt hot as he stared at his fingers and swallowed hard, cold sweat breaking out on his skin. Dai seem to step forward and Kyle suddenly said. “I will do

Director Han’s expression didn’t falter despite the gravity of Old Lady Chen’s words. “I’m questioning the decision, Chairwoman and not your authority.” Aurelius slammed his palm against the conference table. “Director Han!” He barked. “Mind your words. You have worked under this company for decades, yet you dare oppose the Chairwoman over an outsider?” Director Han raised a brow at Aurelius’s words. “Outsider?” He repeated, his gaze shifted towards Odessa. “Ms. Odessa is the granddaughter personally groomed by the late Chairman. Every major project completed in the last three years bears her signature!” He looked back at Elias with a neutral expression. “On the other hand, Young Master Elias has never independently managed a single project from beginning to completion.” Several departmental heads instinctively lowered their heads. No one dared to agree aloud, but everyone knew Director Han wasn’t lying. Elias’ smile gradually disappeared, his face twisting into a f
