Romeo finally went to Mount Salva alone. As he had anticipated, in just two hours, he had reached the foot of the mountain, where people who visited the mountain parked their vehicles. Although quite close to the settlement, he was still very far from the mountain where his destination was. Romeo got out of the car and began to slowly make his way up Mount Salva. Compared to some of the mountains around the area, Mount Salva was a very large mountain. Some of it was arid, and some of it was not, but the most gripping and terrifying thing about the mountain was that the trees were so dense that it seemed as if the person who went inside was being devoured by the mountain. Especially at night, that's why people avoided coming at night.Now Romeo was stepping further into the mountain. With makeshift equipment, without any preparation, and only relying on the lighting from his cellphone, he continued to step into the forest full of trees until a bright light dazzled his vision. "Hey, w
Romeo was meditating. Sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes with his hands on his thighs. Sweat was pouring down his half-naked body. His muscles were hardened. He focused on his inner strength, calming himself down. His wet black hair clung to his forehead and nape. His breathing was calm and regular.The temperature in his body rose warmer than before as he tried to concentrate the pressure on a single point. Occasionally, his forehead would furrow deeply, then he would close his eyes slowly as he breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly.However, suddenly, his chest felt more painful, and he coughed a few times, then pressed his chest until the coughing stopped.Romeo adjusted his breathing, pausing when he saw a small spot of blood on his palm. He tried too hard. "It's still quite difficult." His throat felt constricted, like a lump had stuck there, making it difficult for him to breathe for a while. His energy was drained quite a bit from over-focusing, but calmness managed to t
Vincent is surprised when Romeo stops his hand, which shocks everyone. The two stared at each other sharply."Let go!" Vincent's jaw hardened, trying to remove his hand from Romeo's grip.Romeo ignored Vincent's request. Instead, he tightened his grip on the man's arm. "Why do you want to hurt this woman? Even though you like her."Vincent hardened his jaw even more in annoyance. "None of your business, damn it! You have no right to interfere in anything."Romeo looked at him coldly, a hint of a smile on one corner of his lips. "When the woman you like doesn't like you, you act like this."Alice, who was shocked by what Romeo did, seemed to stand still on the spot with teary eyes. She was really shocked because she was almost slapped by a man. But what was even more surprising was that Romeo protected her.Alice looked at Romeo without blinking at all for a few seconds. At that moment, she felt that Romeo looked really cool. Somehow, it felt different. The wind, which slightly blew th
Vincent was in so much pain that his ass was burning. His friends immediately helped him to get up and sit back in the chair. "Are you okay?" They seemed worried about Vincent because he almost hit his head on the floor.Of course, it made him unhappy to get such rough treatment from Romeo. He kicked the table and pointed his index finger at Romeo's face angrily."You're really insolent to do this to me. You bastard! You idiot!" He looked at his friends with an annoyed look. "Why are you guys just sitting there? Instead of doing me a favor and hitting this damn guy."However, none of them moved. They just looked at each other for fear that the news about Tyler and his friends being beaten by Romeo was true. Of course, their silence made Vincent even more annoyed."What are you waiting for? Go hit him now and take revenge for my pain." He pushed two of his friends forward and the other two as well so that now they were right in front of Romeo. The four people looked at each other and
Suddenly, everyone who had been busy and only watching from a distance was surprised by Alice's words. Of course, because no one had ever been offered such a thing by the famous woman before."Come on, start doing my work." Alice raised her chin confidently.Alice thought Romeo would not refuse her offer. She was sure that Romeo, or any other man, would be happy to have lunch with her, especially with the guaranteed money.Romeo looked at the woman before him, and now they looked at each other. "I don't need that."Suddenly, everyone who heard it was surprised. Alice was shocked to receive a rejection from Romeo, especially in front of so many people that even her two friends behind her closed their mouths in disbelief.Alice's eyes rounded wide. "W-what are you saying? Are you... joking?" Her voice stuttered, and her body felt a little stiff. "So many people want to date me that everyone would do anything to have lunch with me."Of course, this surprised Alice because no one had ever
Romeo was back on campus. Just like before, people were watching him with intimidating gazes, and some of them were even whispering to each other and talking about him with a cynical look in their eyes."Do you know what happened to Tyler and his friends?" One of the women, who was gathering with her friends on the edge of the basketball court, gave Romeo a sharp look. "I heard from the guys, he beat up Tyler until they were hospitalized. In fact, they said it was very bad. Tyler's arms and legs were broken because of that man.""Really? But why is he still here?" Another woman commented with a deep frown on her forehead. "Even though we know that Tyler's father is a hard man and has a position. He should have been imprisoned or worse, eliminated."The three women immediately shuddered in horror at the thought of what Tyler's father might have done because the middle-aged man was notorious for being merciless and would do anything to anyone who annoyed him, let alone make his son like
Tyler widened his eyes and immediately looked at his father with a confused face. "What did you do? It hurts!" He held the back of his head with difficulty and felt the dizziness that came with his father's beating so hard. "Why are you beating me? You should be beating them."Tyler looked pointedly at the black-clad men who were now leaning back casually with their arms crossed over their chests as if they were mocking him for being beaten by his father."It's all because of you!" Thomy pointed his index finger right at Tyler's face. "You're always causing trouble. You useless son of a bitch!"Thomy landed another heavy blow to Tyler's head, which made his son cry out in pain."Stop it, Dad!" Tyler tried to protect his head with one hand while his other hand also felt the pain of being hit by his father. "What the hell?"Tyler really didn't understand why his father was now being brutalized and beating him so viciously. Of course, it raised a big question in his head, significantly s
"Master Romeo?" Tyler's father frowned and laughed sarcastically. "What are you saying?" He glanced at his son with a confused face. "Hey, are you familiar with them and pretending to plan this to surprise me?"Tyler chuckled at his father's words. "Why would I do something silly like that, Dad? I don't recognize them at all."Of course, Tyler's answer made his father even more confused, and he turned his gaze back to the men in black.Tyler chuckled when he saw his father's look of confusion. "Dad, don't listen. It's clear that the Romeo we know is a poor, penniless orphan," Tyler explained with a haughty smile. There's no way that he's a Master."Tyler didn't really understand what was going on either, and the arrival of the black-clad men made for a strange atmosphere. Tyler wondered who exactly the Master they mentioned was. He thought there might be someone with the same name as the Romeo he knew.Thinking that the Romeo in his college was a Master made his stomach feel tickled,
Romeo walked into his classroom with a calm demeanor. He chose a seat in the back row, near the window. His class would start in five minutes, so he spent the waiting time reading a book. Not even the few people who entered the classroom disturbed Romeo's focus."Hey, have you heard the latest news about him?" One of them raised his chin, pointing at Romeo. "Did you know that Romeo has gone crazy? He did something terrible to Tyler.""Yeah, I heard he got into a fight with Tyler and his gang." The man in the green shirt with the white shirt nodded in agreement. "In fact, he said that Tyler had to be hospitalized with a broken bone. So did his friends and the campus thugs. He finished them off by himself."Romeo moved his eyes slightly, looking at the three classmates with cold eyes. It was obvious that he had heard those people talking about him."Yeah, I think he's really gone crazy." The man with brown hair chuckled as he ruffled his waist. How dare she do something like this? He's
