Inside the house, the air was heavy and still.

Wilfred, a martial artist in the early stages of mastery, had cold sweat running down his forehead. His legs trembled uncontrollably. Since the day he set foot on the martial arts path, he had never felt fear like this.

The Anderson family had already spent ten billion to treat William. Sure, they were one of the wealthiest families in Beverly Hills, with businesses spread across the city and assets impossible to count, but ten billion wasn’t pocket change. You didn’t just pull out another ten billion as if it were nothing.

If they had to spend that amount again for his other son, it could seriously cripple the family’s resources. They’d have to think twice about every decision, from business expansion to even their daily lifestyle.

As much as he respected Hudson’s incredible skill, Wilfred simply couldn’t afford another round of treatment at that price. For the sake of the family’s future, he forced a polite cough and said carefully, “Dr

    “What the hell are you doing?”Warren’s voice cracked with rage as he glared at Hudson, his whole body trembling. He had only meant to humiliate Hudson by making him shine his shoes, but instead, Hudson had casually stepped on them, grinding yellow mud from his own soles into Warren’s polished leather.The once-pristine shoes now looked like they’d been dragged out of a dumpster. The humiliation burned inside Warren like molten lava.“Didn’t you ask me to shine your shoes?” Hudson said evenly, as if nothing was wrong. “You never specified how. I figured using my own shoes was the quickest way.” He smirked faintly. “Well, they’re polished. Now it’s time to pay up.”He calmly extended his hand.Warren’s fists clenched, his face twisting with fury. He knew Hudson was mocking him outright. The embarrassment was unbearable.Before Warren could snap, his date stepped forward, voice sharp and shrill. “Do you have any idea how expensive those shoes are?!” she snapped, glaring at Hudson. “Who

    That night was a blur of passion. For the first time, both of them gave in, letting go of every restraint. Again and again, they clung to each other until exhaustion finally took over.By early morning, Ivory had to leave for work. She was tired but reluctant to go, stealing one last look before stepping out.Hudson, worn out from the night before, slept until noon. When he finally stirred, he stretched out on the recliner in his backyard, staring at the drifting clouds. His thoughts grew complicated.He remembered promises made in the past. Promises with Freya that never reached the point of marriage. They had drifted apart, no matter how much they once meant to each other. Then there was Ivory. He never really thought things between them would go this far, but now, somehow, they had. Life, he realized, never followed the plans people set.He sighed, lost in thought, until his phone buzzed.“Hudson, do you remember the auction I mentioned last night?” Ivory’s voice came through the

    Even for a trained martial artist, it’s hard to fully control the body’s instinctive reactions in certain moments.It had been five years since Hudson and Freya married. Their union had happened quickly, without much foundation, and in the beginning Freya simply needed time. Later, she grew distant, avoiding him whenever possible. Because Hudson lived so low-key, she never truly looked at him as her husband, and so, five years passed without him ever touching her.Out of respect, Hudson never forced anything. The closest they had come to intimacy was holding hands. In the early days of their marriage, she would at least allow that much, but over time, even that faded. Whenever he came near, she would instinctively recoil.Seeing that she wanted nothing to do with him, Hudson gave up trying.But a woman’s body carries a power of its own, a kind of invisible pull on a man. Now, with Ivory pressed against him, Hudson felt his self-control falter. He immediately tried to channel his qi to

    Right now, Wilfred was truly furious.As a seasoned powerhouse, he alone understood just how terrifying Hudson really was. He thought the same way Arlo did: this was a man you simply couldn’t afford to provoke.Yes, there had been bad blood between them before, but as the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Wilfred had already made up his mind: with someone like Hudson on their side, the Anderson family’s future could rise to unimaginable heights. But if they provoked him? The Andersons could vanish from Beverly Hills overnight.The thought chilled him to the bone. And here was his own grandson, still mouthing off, still pushing the limits.Wilfred realized he had spoiled William far too much. If he kept letting him act like this, the family would be destroyed in his hands sooner or later. Today, for the sake of giving Hudson an explanation, and for the Anderson family’s survival, William had to learn his lesson.“Grandpa, why?” William’s voice crack

    There was a sudden silence.Everyone turned to Johnny, confused about why he was so worked up.“Johnny, are you out of your mind?” Wilfred asked sharply.Johnny’s face was pale, his voice trembling. “It’s him. It’s him! He’s the one who crippled young Master.”The room froze.Wilfred’s entire body trembled. His bloodshot eyes slowly shifted to Hudson, his voice shaking as he asked, “You… you’re the one who shattered my grandson’s meridians?”At that moment, Wilfred’s rage nearly exploded.The so-called miracle doctor, the man he had just paid ten billion to heal his grandson, turned out to be the same person who destroyed him in the first place?It was too outrageous to believe.And then, in a flash of clarity, Wilfred finally understood why Arlo had stepped in on Hudson’s behalf back at the Lewis estate. They had known all along. They had played him for a fool.“Ahhh!”Blinded by fury, Wilfred forgot everything Johnny had told him earlier, that Hudson might be a martial artist in the
