CHAPTER 162
Inside the Shaw family mansion, the opulent living room was adorned with expensive artwork and crystal chandeliers that cast warm light across the gathered family members.Sharon's parents, David Shaw and Margaret Shaw, had greeted Jack and Samuel with genuine warmth, their smiles reflecting sincere approval of their daughter's choice."Mr. Davis," David Shaw said enthusiastically, shaking Samuel's hand with firm conviction, "Sharon has told us so much about you. We're delighted to finally meet the man who's made our daughter so happy."Margaret Shaw nodded in agreement, her eyes twinkling with maternal affection. "You should see how she lights up whenever she talks about you, Samuel. It's been years since we've seen her this excited about anyone."Her parents genuinely like him, Jack observed with relief. They see past his background to the man he's become."Thank you both for accepting me into your family," Samuel replied earnestly. "I promise I'll do everything in my power to make
Chapter 161
As the Audi A6 cruised along the coastal highway toward North Harbor's exclusive residential district, Samuel Davis's earlier excitement began to mix with visible anxiety. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary, and Jack could see the tension building in his friend's shoulders."Jack," Samuel said finally, breaking the comfortable silence they had been sharing. "I have to ask... are you really not worried about this Ryan Robinson situation?"Jack glanced over at his friend with mild amusement. "Should I be?""Everyone's saying he's some kind of legendary figure," Samuel continued, his voice carrying genuine concern. "A Pulse Realm Grandmaster who could level entire cities. That sounds pretty terrifying to me.""Samuel," Jack said gently, "how long have we known each other?""About three years now," Samuel replied immediately."And in those three years, have you ever seen me lose a fight? Or back down from a challenge? Or show fear when facing dangerous opponents?"
Chapter 160
The four patriarchs stared at Jack Sullivan in stunned disbelief, their faces pale with the kind of terror that comes from witnessing someone casually dismiss their own death sentence."Jack," Quinn Senior said desperately, "you're not taking this seriously enough. Ryan Robinson isn't just any opponent—he's a legend."Jack set down his apple juice glass and looked at the elderly men with calm amusement. "You know, it's interesting that you mention legends. I've faced quite a few of them in my time.""What do you mean?" Shaw Senior asked nervously."I mean York Harrison," Jack replied simply.The name hit the room like a thunderclap. All four patriarchs visibly recoiled, their eyes widening with fresh horror."York Harrison?" Vernon Fisher whispered. "The criminal overlord of the eastern territories?""The same," Jack confirmed. "A man whose reputation for brutality makes your Ryan Robinson look like a choir boy."They have no idea about the scope of enemies I've already defeated, Jack
CHAPTER 159
The morning sun streamed through the windows of Jack Sullivan's villa as he meticulously examined the rare medicinal herbs spread across his dining table. Each specimen was carefully cataloged according to the ancient formulas detailed in the Green Medicine Book, their potent aromas filling the room with an almost intoxicating blend of healing essences.The quality is exceptional, Jack thought as he handled a piece of dragon's blood resin that gleamed like crystallized fire. Martin Donovan's collection was even better than I expected.The thousand-year-old ginseng roots were particularly impressive, their gnarled surfaces bearing the unmistakable marks of authentic age. Jack had seen enough counterfeit herbs in his time to appreciate genuine specimens when he encountered them."These herbs could create pills that would revolutionize modern medicine," Jack murmured to himself, consulting the ancient text for the precise refinement procedures. "But I'll need proper equipment."A bronze
Chapter 158
The Grand Stronghold of the Nine Soldiers rose from the mountain peaks like a fortress from another era, its black stone walls and imposing towers designed to strike fear into all who approached.Inside the main hall, ornate banners bearing the organization's symbols hung from vaulted ceilings, while dozens of armed guards maintained their vigilant watch.Martin Donovan paced the marble floor with the restless energy of a caged predator, his weathered face etched with worry as he awaited his son's return. When the massive oak doors finally opened to admit Tyler Adams, Martin rushed forward eagerly—only to stop in shock at what he saw.Matt Donovan shuffled into the hall like a broken old man, his expensive clothes wrinkled and stained, his face pale and drawn with exhaustion and terror. The arrogant young prince who had left just days earlier was gone, replaced by a trembling shadow of his former self."My God," Martin whispered, staring at his son in horror. "Matt, what happened to y
CHAPTER 157
Chapter 156Stella Shaw stood frozen on her terrace, the expensive telescope still pressed to her eye as she watched Tyler Adams frantically help the writhing Matt Donovan into their sedan. Even from her distant vantage point, she could see the terror written across both men's faces as they fled Jack Sullivan's villa."What in God's name just happened?" Stella whispered to herself, lowering the telescope with trembling hands.Tina Parker hovered nervously behind her employer, having witnessed the entire scene secondhand through Stella's increasingly agitated commentary. "Miss Shaw, should we call someone? The police? Medical services?""And tell them what?" Stella snapped, whirling around to face her assistant. "That Jack Sullivan made someone scream without touching them? That his eyes literally glowed with fire? They'd think we were insane!"Whatever ability he just used, it's beyond anything I've ever seen, Stella realized with growing unease. This man isn't just dangerous—he's ope
