15. The Secret Weapon
Here's the natural English adaptation, keeping the story intact while removing the Eastern tone and making it read like a Western urban fantasy/action novel:Chapter 15: The Secret WeaponOscar was only one man.Compared to Jinggo and his crew, he wasn't even physically imposing. Yet somehow, his strength had completely surpassed theirs. Even Jinggo's hidden weapon—a deadly star-shaped throwing blade—had been caught with ridiculous ease.What kind of power does that poor bastard have? Jinggo thought bitterly."I don't care what you think," Oscar said calmly. "I've never gone looking for trouble with any of you. As for Damar and Maruk's broken arms, maybe you should stop and think about how that happened. Did I walk up and break them for fun? It's a shame all of you have muscles the size of trucks but brains too small to understand what really happened."Oscar was tired of being treated like the villain.He wasn't the one who had started any of this. He had simply defended himself."Yo
14. Beyond Reason
It felt as though invisible cameras had been placed throughout the restaurant, feeding him a perfect view of everything happening around him.Oscar could sense it all with absolute clarity.His heart pounded.When he focused on Jinggo's men, he realized they were all armed.Each of them carried long blades that gleamed beneath the restaurant lights. The polished steel flashed like mirrors, reflecting danger from every direction.For a brief moment, uncertainty crept into his mind.These weren't street thugs anymore.One mistake could get someone killed.Oscar swallowed hard.Then he forced himself to focus again.To push deeper.To trust whatever power was awakening inside him.Elizabeth was standing behind him.He couldn't afford a single mistake."Close your eyes," Oscar whispered.Elizabeth obeyed without asking questions.The moment Jinggo gave a subtle signal with his hand, his men attacked.He deliberately remained silent. Oscar's eyes were closed, and Jinggo assumed that if the
13. Strike Back
Jinggo clenched his jaw.The amused smile that had been playing on his lips vanished instantly, replaced by a murderous glare. Oscar's defiance had clearly pushed him too far."You had the nerve to break Damar's arm?" Jinggo growled. "Now it's your turn."Without waiting for another word, Maruk stepped forward.He launched a powerful punch with his left hand while preparing to grab and twist Oscar's arm with his right. The moment he got within range, he attacked without hesitation.Whoosh!Crack!A sharp gust of air brushed past Oscar's ear as he slipped past the punch at the last second. Maruk's right hand shot forward immediately afterward.Oscar caught it.Then he twisted.Crack!The snapping sound echoed through the restaurant.If anything, it sounded even louder than before.Maruk's bones were clearly thicker and stronger than Damar's, but it made no difference.The entire room froze in shock.Oscar had broken another arm.With a single movement.Elizabeth stared in disbelief. Th
12. The Maxx Gang
Instead, he glanced at the group of men calmly before turning back to her.“Why should we run, Miss Elizabeth?”His voice was steady and surprisingly relaxed.“What would be the point of hiring me as your bodyguard if I ran away at the first sign of trouble?”A faint smile appeared on his lips.“Besides, this is the perfect opportunity.”Elizabeth stared at him in confusion.“The perfect opportunity for what?”Oscar looked toward the approaching gang members.“To prove whether I'm worthy of working for you or not.”It was a polite refusal, but it also gave Oscar an opportunity to prove his worth.If he succeeded, he would finally have a way to pay off the loan sharks.And if he failed?What difference did it make whether he died at the hands of debt collectors or this infamous gang?His life hardly felt valuable anymore.“Hahaha!”A massive man burst into laughter.“Just like the stories say. Brave. Reckless. Not afraid to die.”The mocking remark immediately silenced the room.The at
11. Teaching Them a Lesson
“Of course not.”“Then is your offer still open?”“Absolutely. As long as you're willing to accept it, Oscar. And if you think the salary isn't enough, I can increase it,” Elizabeth replied immediately, her eyes filled with hope.The conversation left Damar and Farhan staring at each other in shock.Their faces were filled with panic, confusion, and disbelief.“I'm willing to accept your offer,” Oscar said calmly, a mysterious smile appearing at the corner of his lips.“But I have a few conditions.”“Go ahead.”“One of them is that you fire these two employees.”Oscar's voice was firm and direct.The two waiters had humiliated him and slandered him repeatedly.As far as Oscar was concerned, there was no punishment more fitting than seeing them lose their jobs right now.Damar and Farhan glared at him furiously.Neither could believe Oscar had the nerve to make such a demand.Their faces turned bright red with anger.Damar stepped forward and grabbed Oscar by the collar, yanking him aw
10. A Cruel Lie
“Or is this simply how customers are treated here?” Oscar added.He didn't sound like he was complaining. His tone remained calm and composed, making him appear even more confident and dignified.That only deepened Elizabeth's admiration for him.She turned sharply toward the two employees.Seeing the handsome man she admired being treated this way filled her with anger.The two waiters immediately broke out in cold sweat when they saw the fury on Elizabeth's face.After all, she was the owner of the restaurant.If Oscar's words caused trouble for them, their jobs would be finished.“M-Miss Elizabeth, it wasn't us. He started it first,” one of the waiters hurriedly said.“He insulted us and acted as if he owned this restaurant.”“After we challenged him, he began insulting the restaurant itself,” added the other waiter—Damar, Derek's friend.“He said this place was low-class and that whoever invited him here clearly had no taste and didn't know how to choose a proper location for a me
