Chapter 157
Alexander proved to be a natural prodigy when it came to the Meridian Restoration Technique. What Viktor had warned might take weeks to grasp, Alexander absorbed in mere hours. The ancient movements, the precise energy circulation patterns, the delicate balance required to rebuild severed pathways—all of it came to him with remarkable fluidity, as if his body remembered skills his mind had forgotten."Extraordinary," Viktor murmured as he watched Alexander execute the final sequence flawlessly. "I've never seen anyone learn this so quickly. You truly are exceptional, Alexander Howard."Alexander bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your teachings, sir. I'll never forget this.""See that you use it wisely," Viktor replied, his expression serious. "And Alexander? When your memories return, when you discover who you truly were... don't forget who you chose to be today."With those parting words echoing in his mind, Alexander left Fit Titans and headed straight for Vanessa's penthouse. The

"I request a private audience with you, sir," Alexander said, his voice cutting through the congratulatory noise surrounding them.Viktor Konstantin studied him for a long moment, his sharp eyes seeming to peer beneath Alexander's skin. Then he nodded. "Granted. Follow me."The founder led Alexander through a side door and down a corridor that few at Fit Titans had ever seen. They entered a spacious private training room, its walls lined with ancient weapons and martial arts scrolls that spoke of decades of dedication to the craft. Viktor closed the door behind them, sealing them in silence."I must say," Viktor began, turning to face Alexander with genuine enthusiasm, "I'm quite pleased to have someone of your caliber as my disciple. The recent students who've come through here... they've shown little promise. Technique without substance. Power without understanding. But you—" He gestured toward Alexander appreciatively. "You possess something rare. Something I haven't seen in years.

Victor Chen threw his head back and laughed, the sound echoing through Vanessa's office with malicious triumph. He watched her sit there in her chair, her eyes glazed over, her posture slack—the spray working its insidious magic through her system."Did you really think I was stupid enough to come here without an ace up my sleeve?" Victor crowed, circling her desk like a predator savoring its trapped prey. "God, you corporate types are all the same. So convinced of your own superiority that you can't even see when you've been outmaneuvered."He leaned against her desk, his grin widening as he studied her vacant expression. "You wanted to play hardball? Demand that I give up Katarina? Well, here's how this is actually going to work, sweetheart. I'm going to have my way with you right here in your fancy office. Then I'm going to walk out with that contract—my version of the contract, with all my terms—and you're going to thank me for it."Victor licked his lips, his eyes raking over her

Victor Chen threw his head back and laughed—a harsh, grating sound that made Vanessa's skin crawl. "Terminate the deal? You? Oh, that's rich!" He slapped his knee dramatically. "You're in absolutely no position to terminate anything, sweetheart. I have you exactly where I want you."He stood and walked around her desk again, his movements predatory and deliberate. "See, you think you're calling the shots here, but you're not. You need this deal more than we do. My father might want it, sure, but if it falls through? We'll survive. Your company, on the other hand..." He made a dismissive gesture. "Well, let's just say I've done my research."Vanessa's hands clenched into fists beneath her desk, her nails digging into her palms. Every fiber of her being wanted to tell this entitled monster to go straight to hell. She wanted to pull out her phone, call Marcus, and give the order for her eight-man tactical team to breach Victor's mansion right now.Storm the place. Neutralize his guards.

Victor Chen threw his head back and laughed—a harsh, grating sound that echoed through Vanessa's pristine office like nails on a chalkboard. He slapped his knee theatrically, as if she'd just told the funniest joke he'd ever heard."Oh, I see how it is now!" Victor crowed, his face flushed with vindictive glee. "I see exactly how this is!"He stood abruptly, pointing an accusing finger at Vanessa with exaggerated dramatic flair. "You remember all those times I tried to partner with you? Huh? All those business proposals I brought to your fancy corporate door? And what did you do?"He circled her desk slowly, his voice dripping with years of accumulated resentment. "You treated me like I was dirt on the bottom of your designer heels. Like I wasn't good enough to breathe the same air as the mighty Vanessa Sterling. You looked down your nose at me and my family like we were nothing—like I was nothing!""Mr. Chen—" Vanessa began, her voice controlled."Shut up!" Victor snapped, slamming h
Chapter 152
The realization that everything Alexander had accomplished was purely through his own merit hit the room like a thunderclap. The founder's eyes gleamed with renewed admiration as he studied Alexander with the intensity of a master craftsman appraising a rare gemstone."Extraordinary," Viktor murmured, more to himself than anyone else. "Absolutely extraordinary."The other senior fighters stood in uncomfortable silence, their earlier mockery now hanging around their necks like millstones. The man they'd ridiculed as nothing more than a cleaner, the bottom-tier fighter they'd dismissed as worthless—he'd just proven himself superior to every single one of them. Not through chemicals or shortcuts, but through raw, undeniable skill.No one dared meet Alexander's eyes now.Even the coaches who'd joined in the condemnation earlier were shuffling their feet, suddenly very interested in the floor tiles. The evidence was irrefutable. Alexander Howard was a force to be reckoned with, and they'd
