Zhen Lee listened dumbfounded as Zi Han revealed the truth. Even after hearing it straight from the one man in charge, he couldn’t believe they had really made such a costly slip.

“I have seen Jessylene before. It couldn’t have been her,” he said. “I think there is some confusion.”

“There is no confusion. Tell me, how many times have you met Jessylene?” Zi Han asked.

After a long pause, Zhen Lee replied, “I have never met her personally. But I did see her a few times with Noah and Emir.”

“Not from up close, I believe,” Zi Han probed.

“They were actually quite far. I was using my binoculars to track them.”

“So, you had no way of knowing what Jessylene looks like from up close. Plus, she was wearing a fake wig and glasses this time,” Zi Han explained. “Her getup was too perfect even for you.”

Zhen Lee felt ashamed of his mistake. Even though he had seen Jessylene before, he had failed to recognize her when it really mattered, and in the end, this grave error had spoiled their main goal

  • A friend indeed

    Bridgette couldn’t believe that Zi Han suggested she should allow those two losers to tag along. There was just no way in hell she was going to invite Kwang and his cousin to her pool party.“This isn’t some school tea party where there will be board games and cake,” Bridgette remarked in a snarky voice. “Your poor friends would be completely lost over there. Besides, they wouldn’t even be able to match the standards.”“Then I am not coming as well,” Zi Han replied curtly and prepared to pack his bag.Never in her life had Bridgette felt so humiliated. Not only had Zi Han turned down her invitation in front of her girl gang, but he didn’t even seem bothered to apologize. However, Bridgette Wong wasn’t the type of girl who would accept defeat so easily. As Zi Han was about to walk away, she stopped him.“Alright, your friends can come as well,” she said, dropping her father’s card on the table. “There is the address. Call me when you reach. The party starts at eight tonight, but the r

  • An elite invitation

    Zi Han’s defiant reply sent shockwaves through the crowd of eager onlookers, and their upcoming duel soon became the talk of the campus.While Cheng Li had plenty of loyal supporters, ever since the students learned that Zi Han was a cultivator as well, a considerable portion of the campus crowd shifted in his favor.Even the professors had started treating Zi Han with respect, allowing him to sit where he pleased and take as long as he wanted to complete his assignments. The dean of the college had heard the rumor about Zi Han’s inheritance, and the fact that he had turned out to be a cultivator only added to his stature. Right now, Zi Han was well on his way to becoming a campus celebrity, but his friends still remained in the dumps.Even though Kwang stuck close to Zi Han, the others in the class never stopped ridiculing him, and the misfit Suyin also found herself in the same situation.The class cheerleader, Bridgette, riled up her group of chirpy girls and set her eyes on Suyin

  • Campus Rivalry

    Zi Han’s refusal to enter the tournament came as a complete shock to Kwang, leaving him in a tight spot. He had already announced to all his classmates that this year Zi Han was going to break all records and become the youngest martial artist to qualify from Zhuxin.By now, the whole campus was abuzz with talk about the great tournament, and Zi Han had once again become the unwilling center of attention.Kwang knew he had acted way too impulsively, expecting Zi Han to support him, but now that he had shattered his hopes with his stern refusal, there was little else he could do than accept his fate. “Are you really sure you can’t do this for me?” he asked for the last time, hoping to change Zi Han’s mind. “I mean, the last date for registration is next week. You still have plenty of time to think it—”Even before Zi Han could speak, Suyin intervened on his behalf. “You really think Zi Han owes you something? You just put his name down to beat your own drum and get some free attention

  • A lasting friendship

    “A man trying to travel in two boats at the same time is always bound to drown,” the words of the old Grand Sage echoed in Zi Han’s ears as he returned to the mansion and went to bed.It had been a long and eventful night, and Zi Han’s tired body craved the sweet comfort of sleep, but his anxious mind kept him awake. Leading two lives at the same time meant that he had to deal with problems caused by both.On the one hand, as the leader of the Black Dragons, Zi Han had to find a way to look after the clan’s business and deal with the Sand Scorpions, while on the other, his life as a simple college student demanded that he focus on his academic goals and maintain the few friendships he had.The easiest choice right now was to drop out of college and focus on the clan, but Zi Han felt he wasn’t ready to take the plunge. Besides, this dual identity helped him take a break from his criminal life and be at ease among the students.However, Kwang’s message about the martial arts competition

  • The Doctor’s truth

    As everyone went to sleep that night, Zi Han stirred up from his bed and walked to the open window. The botch-up at the cleaning company was still plaguing his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.The forensic technician in the lab coat appeared before his eyes, and her motives confused him. He wondered how a simple lab worker could shoot her way out, even though she was being guarded by two of Zhen Lee’s most trusted shooters.Besides, a woman who just wanted to run away would have no reason to go after the janitor and kill him with such brutality. It was almost as if she wanted to tie up all loose ends and prevent anyone from blabbering about the cleaning crew’s dirty secrets.“But why would you take the risk? Why go through all this trouble?”Zi Han wondered if the woman was really just a simple forensic technician who happened to get tangled up with the cleaning crew or if there was more to her than she had revealed.“You said Emir had hired you.
