Chapter 164
The Audi A6 glided smoothly through North Harbor's evening traffic as Jack navigated the familiar streets toward the entertainment district. In the backseat, Samuel and Sharon were lost in their own world, their quiet laughter and whispered conversations creating an atmosphere of pure romantic bliss."I still can't believe this is really happening," Sharon murmured, her head resting on Samuel's shoulder. "Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming.""If you are dreaming," Samuel replied softly, "then I never want to wake up."Their tender exchange was punctuated by Sharon's gentle giggle, the sound filling the car with warmth and happiness.At least someone's enjoying this evening, Jack thought as he glanced in the rearview mirror at the obviously smitten couple.In stark contrast to the backseat's romantic atmosphere, the front of the car felt like an arctic wasteland. Julia Shaw sat rigidly in the passenger seat, her body angled as far away from Jack as physically possible while still remai
Chapter 163
Julia Shaw's face had turned an alarming shade of red as she realized her carefully crafted manipulation had been completely exposed. She whirled around to face Jack Sullivan, her voice shaking with fury and humiliation."How dare you!" Julia snarled, pointing an accusatory finger at him. "You have no right to make such accusations about my family!"Jack glanced at her with mild disinterest, as if she were an annoying insect that had buzzed too close to his ear. "I don't make accusations, Miss Shaw. I simply observe patterns and draw logical conclusions.""Logical conclusions?" Julia's voice rose to a near-shriek. "You're spreading lies and rumors to destroy my reputation!"She's having a complete meltdown, Jack thought with amusement. Her entire scheme has collapsed, and now she's lashing out desperately.Jack turned away from Julia completely, addressing Sharon's parents instead. "Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, I apologize for the disruption. Perhaps we should move on to more pleasant topics."
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
