Chapter 001
A train thundered toward Riverside City.Andrew Allen sat on a lower sleeper berth in a worn camouflage uniform, his dark hair messy enough to cover most of his face. With nothing better to do, he had struck up a conversation with two strangers in the neighboring berths and talked them into playing a card game.“Three of a kind with a kicker!”“Double jokers! And a straight! Ha! I’m out!”Andrew slapped his last seven cards onto the small table and eagerly held out both hands to the other two players.“Five bucks each. Pay up.”The middle-aged man sitting across from him reeked of alcohol. Scowling, he pulled out a five-dollar bill and smacked it into Andrew’s palm.“I’m done. You’ve already taken a hundred bucks off me!”“I’m down more than twenty myself,” the other player muttered.The second man was only eighteen or nineteen. He reluctantly handed Andrew another five-dollar bill.“Just beginner’s luck,” Andrew said modestly as he gathered the cards with practiced ease.He had never

“Fuck you!”Without warning, the man swung his fist straight at Andrew Allen’s face.“Ah!”The young woman screamed and covered her eyes, too frightened to watch what happened next.Andrew merely smiled.To him, the man’s punch was slower than a crawling snail.He casually raised one hand. His movement was swift and precise, his fingers closing around the man’s wrist like an eagle’s talons and locking it in place like an iron clamp.Then Andrew twisted.With a sharp crack, the man’s wrist was dislocated. Andrew pulled and turned in the same motion, using such overwhelming force that the man’s feet left the ground. His body spun through the air before crashing heavily onto the floor.“He hit him!”Someone in the crowd cried out in disbelief.What Andrew had done was simply too shocking. He had lifted and thrown a man weighing well over a hundred pounds with one hand, dropping him as if he weighed nothing.Was this guy some kind of hidden martial arts master?Things like that only happe

The entire exchange happened in the blink of an eye.No one had time to react.“Y-You... you!”The female officer flushed with humiliation and rage.Andrew’s large hand was pressing directly against her chest.The unfamiliar sensation shot through her body, leaving her nearly breathless.The male officer shot to his feet, drew his service pistol, and aimed it at Andrew.“Put the gun down now! Don’t do anything stupid!”Andrew clicked his tongue.“If I actually wanted to hurt anyone, do you really think you’d have time to point a gun at my head?”He spoke almost under his breath as he slowly straightened.Then, in full view of everyone, he dismantled the pistol in his hand. With a few swift movements, the weapon came apart into multiple components that scattered across the floor.The young woman, the officers, and the couple stared at him in stunned silence.In broad daylight, this man had disarmed a police officer, turned her own weapon against her, and then taken it apart with his ba

Andrew Allen dusted off his hands, picked up his woven sack, slung it over one shoulder, and walked away as if nothing had happened.No one tried to stop him.The reason was simple.They were too afraid.Several minutes later, police cars sped in from different directions. More than a dozen officers got out in an orderly formation and quickly sealed off the area.Scarlett Spears was among them.The moment she learned who the attacker was, her temper flared all over again. She jumped back into a patrol car and began searching the surrounding streets for him.By then, Andrew was already sitting in a taxi on his way to The Riverstone Residences.The sun gradually sank beneath the horizon.Its fading golden light blanketed Riverside City, making the entire city look breathtaking.By the time the streetlights came on, Andrew was standing outside The Riverstone Residences, hesitating.It was one of Riverside City’s most prestigious gated communities. Nearly everyone who lived there was weal

In Riverside City, an apartment like this would cost several million dollars before renovations were even considered.For a woman to possess this kind of wealth on her own was genuinely impressive.Andrew accepted the slippers Joan handed him and put them on, but he remained standing to one side instead of taking a seat.“Why aren’t you sitting down?” Joan asked after carefully placing the urn in a proper spot and sitting beside Bonnie.“My clothes are a little dirty. I’d rather not.”Andrew answered honestly.He had spent the entire day traveling and had not even had the chance to wash up. The last thing he wanted was to dirty someone else’s home.Bonnie slowly raised her head.Her beautiful eyes were swollen and red, and tears continued to stream down her face. The sight was enough to make anyone’s heart ache.“You were Craig’s comrade,” she said softly. “That makes you family too. It’s all right. Please sit.”“Well... all right.”Andrew could not bring himself to refuse after seein

The moment the woman stepped inside, she noticed a strange man in the house. More importantly, there was something about him that immediately rubbed her the wrong way, and her expression turned guarded.“Who are you?”“He’s my brother-in-law’s old army buddy. His name is Andrew Allen,” Joan Hunt answered with a smile before Andrew even had the chance to speak.“Hmph.”The woman gave a cold snort and slowly sat down on the sofa.There was an aloof, elegant air about her, like a wealthy society wife who was used to looking down on others. Unfortunately, the bits of grass and weeds still clinging to her clothes completely ruined the effect.Andrew hated being looked at with that kind of disdain.But the moment he remembered how flustered she had looked earlier, he couldn’t help smiling to himself.“Why are you smiling?” Joan noticed it immediately. She had to admit that Andrew actually looked rather handsome when he smiled. “Did you think of something funny? Come on, share it with us.”A

Everyone in the room stared at the unfamiliar man in confusion. None of them knew who he was or why he had walked in and immediately taken the troublemakers’ side.The thugs, however, looked delighted.Their leader grinned at Andrew. “Now this guy makes sense. So, brother, who exactly are you?”“Who I am doesn’t matter.” Andrew shrugged. “What matters is that you’re here for money, right?”He had already figured out the situation.Bonnie Hunt’s company might be doing fairly well, but when it came to connections and handling people, she was clearly lacking. Otherwise, a bunch of street thugs would never have dared to come here again and again making trouble.If she had the right connections, one phone call would have brought people over to deal with this mess.Instead, after all this commotion, not a single person had stepped forward.Bonnie always carried herself with a cold, distant air. Judging from the current situation, she had probably offended quite a few people over the years.

“That should prove what I can do. Satisfied?”The burly guard walked over to Andrew and spoke calmly.Andrew smiled.“Not bad. Starting today, you’re the new head of security.”Bonnie Hunt had no objection.She had seen everything that had just happened with her own eyes.More importantly, she finally knew why those people had kept coming to cause trouble at her company.Someone had been sending them.As for who that someone might be, Bonnie already had a pretty good guess.A moment later, the sound of police sirens came from outside.More than a dozen officers quickly entered the building.The woman leading them was none other than someone Andrew knew very well.Scarlett Spears.The moment Scarlett saw Andrew, her eyes practically burned with anger.She stopped dead in her tracks and stared at him.“Captain Spears, these people came into my company and caused trouble,” Bonnie said. “I’ll leave them to you.”Andrew glanced between the two women.On the surface, Bonnie and Scarlett act
