Everyone in the room was shocked by what David did, and they were even more shocked by what happened to him.It was clear that David was the one who attacked Tony, but now, what they saw was David losing his balance and falling over.And not only that, David had just screamed loudly as if he were in great pain.But David's reaction was not exaggerated. Just after deflecting David's swift punch, Tony twisted David's arm until there was a worrying 'crack' sound.That sound indicated that David had suffered a dislocated bone in his shoulder.Now, as Tony released David's right hand, people noticed that David's long arm hung limply, almost touching the floor.David himself held his shoulder with his other hand, grimacing with closed eyes. The pain he felt seemed unbearable."There are still a dozen days until we find out who wins the bet we agreed upon a few hours ago. I suggest you go to the hospital immediately and get the best bone doctor in town to treat your shoulder before it's too
Tony and Jade were in a taxi heading home.The taxi cruised calmly through the quiet night.Outside, it was raining. Just a light drizzle.Jade and Tony held hands while each gazed out the window.Actually, Jade could have gone home with her father and the others. But Tony couldn't join them. Their family car couldn't fit five adults.So Jade decided to take a taxi home, accompanying Tony.Earlier that afternoon, Tony had indeed arrived at the Robertson family residence in a luxury car, but he had already returned it to its owner.That's what Tony told Jade. However, we know the truth: Tony's luxury car was currently in Hayley's hand.There was a reason why Tony and Jade both directed their gaze out the window.Shortly after they got into the taxi, they glanced at each other, freezing for a moment.Both were awkward. Jade's pale cheeks, now tinged with color, emphasized how unprepared she was for the sudden romantic atmosphere enveloping them.They didn't speak but leaned closer toget
Tony was taken aback by the unknown woman's actions. What was more surprising was that she didn't just press her lips against his; she also kissed him deeply.Tony felt the drink from the woman's mouth partly enter his mouth."Hey! Stop it!" Tony exclaimed after pulling away from the cat-eyed woman's kiss and distancing himself slightly.The woman stared at Tony. Despite Tony giving her an annoyed look, she smiled and moved in again as before.This time, she directly kissed Tony deeply and played with her tongue.Tony was overwhelmed. It took him a few seconds to break free from this crazy woman."What the heck is this? What do you think you're doing? Are you crazy?" Tony protested.At this point, the bartender observed what the two were doing with a puzzled expression.He had been serving the ponytailed woman for half an hour earlier and was the one who informed her that the man who had just entered the bar was Tony, the man she was looking for.Now the bartender regretted it a bit
Patrick turned his body ninety degrees, gazing at his daughter and then sighing.He glanced briefly at Tony. Tony tried to guess what the charismatic man wanted to say to him."Michelle, you don't even know him yet. If you get to know him, I'm sure your opinion of him will change," Patrick said, looking at Michelle."No, Dad! I've met many men, and I know what kind of person he is. I'd rather die than be his wife!" Michelle retorted.Patrick shook his head. He could already predict his daughter's reaction.Michelle, as his only child, had been quite pampered since childhood, and one of the negative effects was that she felt she could say anything she wanted when she was angry, regardless of the situation.And years of studying in the United States seemed to have made her bolder.Unfortunately, Patrick couldn't handle his daughter's defiance sternly. It would only push away Michelle, who was now an adult woman.Patrick wanted to respond to Michelle's rebuttal, but he realized that thei
At Uriyaan Zoo, the only zoo in Karnaan City.It was nearly three in the afternoon. Tony had parked his car and purchased the entry ticket.Now, he walked towards the zoo gate, observing the people around.Lisa Westwood, the woman who claimed to be a freelance journalist, had said she would wait for him near the lion enclosure.Tony immediately sought out the enclosure upon entering the zoo.Once he figured out where to go, Tony pulled out his phone, checking for any messages from Lisa.There were no messages. He slipped his phone back into his pocket and was about to move forward when his radar sensed danger.Tony immediately looked around, his eyes squinting.'This feeling... it's familiar...' Tony thought.Back in the warzone, he often relied on his automatic defense system. His radar detected invisible incoming threats.More or less, that's what he felt now, and it wasn't something to take lightly.Usually, this feeling gripped him when the threat was serious.So, what exactly was
Tony grabbed Lisa's shoulder, forcing her to duck.Moments later, a whizzing sound was followed by the shattering of a rock nearby."What the hell is that?" Lisa asked, her eyes wide."Let's move!" Tony said, dragging Lisa away from the lion enclosure.He knew that the recent gunshot would be followed by more. And indeed, it was.The whizzing noise sounded twice more as they ran while keeping their bodies low.No rocks were shattered this time, but Tony could see the bullets hitting the grassy ground.After running for a few seconds, Tony and Lisa reached a gazebo—a small circular resting place with concrete walls and wooden benches."Stay down! Hide yourself!" Tony urged Lisa.Lisa complied. They both hid inside the gazebo, backs against the wall, shielding themselves from the direction of the gunfire."What the hell is going on here?" Lisa asked."Sniper," Tony replied. "There's a sniper targeting us.""Huh? Sniper?""Yes. That's why you need to stay down. Even lifting your head sli
Julius stared ahead with a serious expression while his henchmen pounded Tony.Meanwhile, Lisa casually lit a cigarette. She appeared so relaxed, as if she had just completed an incredibly difficult and time-consuming mission.As expected, Lisa hadn't been entirely truthful in answering Tony's earlier questions.She was actually one of Julius's operatives tasked with locating Tony and luring him out.Julius's primary order to Lisa was to bring him to the Uriyaan Zoo and lead him to their current location.The Uriyaan Zoo had been purchased by Lombard two years ago. The hole and tunnel that Lisa and Tony had passed through were intentionally constructed by Julius's men for operations such as this."Rest in peace, Tony. This is what happens when you dare to disturb Lord Lombard," Lisa said, exhaling cigarette smoke into the air.She judged that Tony wouldn't be able to withstand the assault from Julius's henchmen. Besides being strong, they were also notorious for their ferocity.Indeed
Lisa stood frozen, unable to comprehend how Tony had suddenly appeared behind her.And to her dismay, she found herself in a highly disadvantageous position.Tony had a tight grip on her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe."Do it now before it's too late," Tony whispered.Lisa felt as though she was witnessing her own death. She reluctantly dropped the pistol in her hand."Good girl," Tony remarked.At that moment, Julius, who had been knocked down by Tony, rose to his feet and stared at Tony, spitting on the ground.Julius took a deep breath, and as he exhaled, Tony could see a bright green aura emanating from his body.Julius appeared instantly stronger, and more dangerous.But Tony remained unfazed. After all, he was the one in control of the situation now."Lisa, didn't I ask you to back me up? What the hell are you doing there? You let him catch and control you?" Julius chided."I fucking did it, Julius. I shot him twice! Don’t you see it?" Lisa retorted.Tony smirked a
