Chapter 239: Did You Guys Look For Me?
"What are you trying to do?" Madison and Blue Cross and the others were all furious when they saw Lawrence suddenly make a move.They were ready to draw their guns."It doesn't matter." Raekwon sneered at Lawrence. "Since you want to try, I'll let you see what a real warrior is."As he spoke, he grabbed toward Lawrence's finger, ready to disable it and teach him a lesson.But in the next moment, his face changed.Although Lawrence's finger seemed slow—even an ordinary person could easily block it, let alone him as a Ming Jin warrior—when he actually tried to block it, he found that the speed of that finger was far faster than he had imagined.He didn't even touch Lawrence's sleeve. Lawrence's finger had already pointed at his forehead. If he moved forward even an inch, his forehead would be pierced through by something even he didn't know, electric.For a moment, Raekwon's body froze there. Cold sweat instantly flowed down his forehead. He didn't dare move.Madison, Blue Cross, and
Chapter 238: Weakling
"Okay, I understand you now." Lawrence said, keeping his expression neutral. "Who do you want me to save?""The person I want you to save goes by the name Isabella Houston. The daughter of the Houston family from Ultra City. The wound on my shoulder which is slowly healing was caused by Isabella's personal guard.""Huh?" Lawrence was confused. "Why did he injure you?""Well, I felt the best way to get the organization to at least take me as a friend was to catch one of their targets for them. I thought if I could get in that way, then I could save Isabella and get the information all at once before leaving.""Wait, why did you catch her? Why do they need those girls?" Lawrence asked, genuinely puzzled. "Using Sophia and Isabella as examples, their backgrounds, personalities, and jobs are completely different. The only thing that makes them similar is their top-notch beauty.""I'm not sure myself. But from what I heard, the people they catch either have a specific type of ability from
Chapter 237: Unexpected News
"Hello, I'm busy and will call—""Lawrence, we need your help!"Lawrence was cut short by Lucas's voice, which made him frown slightly as he grumpily replied, "What trouble? Have you guys been looking for trouble with everyone after discovering your friend is a good martial artist?""No, that actually isn't it. It's about Ralph!" Lucas immediately replied."Ralph? What happened to him?" Lawrence asked with a frown. His hand subconsciously picked up a pen and started sketching doodles on a blank paper."He came back to the dorm quietly. We thought maybe he had a heartbreak or something, or maybe it was just emotions, so we left him be. But when I was about to sleep, I smelled blood in the room. After tracing it, it led me to his bed. The wound isn't big but... the injury is serious. He was shot!""What?" Lawrence's eyes contracted. His brain lagged a second behind, trying to process those words."You need to call him yourself. He doesn't want to open up to me, but I bet he will to you.
Chapter 236: Number Crunching
Three hours later, Lawrence was ready to throw his laptop out the window.He leaned back in the expensive chair, ran both hands through his hair, and let out a groan that echoed off the books he'd never read. The spreadsheet on his screen stared back at him like a personal enemy."Okay. Okay. I can do this."He'd started strong. Opened the files, nodded along to Hazel's notes, felt confident. Then he hit the projections section.Revenue forecasts. User acquisition costs. Lifetime value calculations. Ad revenue modeling based on current engagement metrics.He knew these terms. He'd sat through lectures on them. But knowing what something means and actually making the numbers work were two different things.Lawrence grabbed his phone and typed into YouTube: "how to understand startup financial projections for beginners."Thirty minutes later, he'd watched three videos, taken notes on a pad he found in the drawer, and felt marginally less stupid.Then he hit another wall."What the hell
Chapter 235: Stepping Back
The next day.The morning sun streamed through the penthouse windows as Lawrence finished his last set of Bajiquan forms. His body moved automatically now, the Master-level understanding settled deep in his muscles. Three Emperor Canon Fist still felt clunky, but that would come with time.He checked his phone. Missed messages from his friends and even Sophia, which he quickly replied to. Angus asking if he would be at the dojo today. A text from Hazel with the files she'd promised.Finishing everything, he chose to observe the new features of Nexus Chat App and couldn't help but frown as he stumbled on the first ads on the platform. In order not to make the ads annoying, they didn't put them on videos like Omniverse did. Instead, they placed ads in comment sections based on what the post was about. If it was about a celebrity, then fashion-related ads showed up. And so on and so forth.A strange notification popped up about a social media ad campaign targeting "mysterious moonlit man
Chapter 234: Increasing the Health Attribute
After this, Lawrence felt a flood of new understanding flow into his mind.He quickly put down his fork and stepped away from the kitchen island. He moved to the open space in his living room where he sometimes practiced.No one was around. Just the quiet hum of the city far below and the soft light filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows.After a short break and drinking some water to settle his stomach, Lawrence started running through Bajiquan routines. Then he practiced the Six Harmonies Great Spear for one round, using an imaginary spear since he didn't keep one in his penthouse.When he finally stopped and let out a tired breath, his face showed genuine happiness. His understanding of Bajiquan had deepened. Things he hadn't grasped before now made sense. The movements flowed smoother.The gap between him and his senior apprentice brothers was still huge. But reaching Master level in Bajiquan gave him the equivalent of years of training and knowledge packed into his mind a
