Robert and Jade's attention moved to Jason and Natalie, Jason was uncomfortable, he didn't want to see Jade's face again, certainly not on the same day she ditched him.
Robert holds Jade's hand firm.“Darling, why don't we sit opposite them”His cheeks moved to his eyes, Jade was smiling too, but it couldn't be compared to the smile on Robert.Natalie faced Jason.“Don't look at them, just let them be”Jason's fist tightened, but he nods to Natalie's words.He focused his attention on the dishes in front of him.Natalie was quick in tasting all the dishes on the table before Robert and Jade finally reached them.Robert stopped close to Jason, then he faced the waiter standing some distance away.“Hey!!, How can you serve him special dishes without collecting the bills first, does this look like somebody that can afford a hundred thousand dollars”Jade also glances at the dishes before she faces Jason.“Jason, how can you order so many special dishes, can you even afford one. This is a hundred thousand dollars, can your entire generation even provide so much money”Jason's fist tightened, but he stayed quiet to their words.“Waiter!!!, Come here quickly, you better collect the bills before this hobo finishes the meal”The waitress standing by the door finally stepped forward to the scene, she was holding the payment machine in her hand, she approached Jason.“Sir, how about you pay the bills now. The amount is a hundred thousand dollars”Jason frowns seeing she was asking him for the bills, she was the waitress who attended to them first, and she heard it clearly when Natalie said she will cover the bills.He wonders why she is asking him.Jason waited for a minute, hoping Natalie would rectify the issue, but she stayed quiet, and she was busy checking out all the dishes.“She will handle the bills”He struggled to say the words, he felt ashamed a little, especially since Robert and Jade were standing close to them.Natalie sounded immediately.“What are you saying, Jason. Didn't you say you will handle the bills”She frowns deeply.“How shameless are you, you took me out on a date, now you want me to handle the bills”Jason was stupefied.Natalie faced the waitress.“He will handle the bills”Jason was dumbfounded, he should've known that a snake remains a snake even after changing its skin.This was her plan all along, but thank goodness, there was a camera watching.Jason stays calmed.“I should've known that you are evil, apologizing for what Jade did, what a fool I was to believe you”Robert burst out laughing.“Thank goodness you know that you are a fool, now pay the bills”Jade shakes her head feeling disappointed.“Jason, why must you pretend that you are rich, accept the fact that you are poor, and you can never live our kind of life. Now, how are you going to pay for the bills”She was smiling inside, finally Jason was done for, she will do anything to make sure Jason doesn't show his face in school again, he shouldn't be among them anyway, him and those rats, those bunch of freeloaders.The waitress faced Jason.“Sir, you have to pay the bills now, you have already touched all the food on the table, we don't refund special dishes anyway”She dropped the payment machine close to Jason.Jason pushed it slowly to Natalie's side.“I have told you already, she is the one handling the bills”Natalie's face darkened, she smashed her fist on the table, and stood up quickly.“How could you be this shameless, you told me that you will handle the bills, why are you changing your words now”She faced the waitress.“Please get your security men here now, beat this bastard up for the money, if he doesn't provide it, then take him as a worker or throw him in jail!”Jason couldn't help but feel more disappointed in himself for believing Natalie, this is exactly who she is, he should've known.Robert roars.“Jason, provide the money. You are not a man, how can you ask a woman to pay for the meals you ate”Jade shakes her head feeling more disappointed.“This is one of the reasons I broke up with you, you are too poor and you still pretend. We are not going to help you on this, you must provide the money!”Jason gazed at Jade.“Like I would ever ask a bitch for help”Jade's heart kicked. Jason points the camera station at the wall close to them.“The evidence you seek is in there, ask the team to play back the recording, she admitted that she is the one paying the bills!”Jason faced the waitress.“You heard her too, but you are pretending to be dumb, let see what your audio recording will say”Natalie was flabbergasted by Jason's words, even the waitress too, Natalie looked at Robert, he was still smiling, which probably means he has this under control.Robert sounded.“She will need to take permission from her boss”The waitress nods quickly.“I need to ask my boss for permission”Jason adjusted himself in his seat.“Call your boss then”He has nothing to worry about, Natalie said it herself that she will handle the bills.Jade cried out.“I can't believe you actually don't have a hundred thousand dollars, you are such an under par”She was angry that Jason dared to insult her; she must make sure he is dealt with, before he faces his punishment.The waitress walked away to call her boss.Robert brought his phone out, his dad is friends with Mr. Landon, and he is also a good friend of Mr. Landon too, Mr. Landon is already helping him with this, but who would've thought that Jason will be smart enough to spot the camera, now he has to ask Mr. Landon for help again.[I will make it three. Three hot girls]He knows the dark side of Mr. Landon, his love for young girls is unconditional, and he is perfect at arranging such a thing.[I am on my way]Robert's cheeks moved seeing Mr. Landon's fast response, he faced Jason with a smile, this will be the last time he will see this pauper face, Mr. Landon can have him killed and nobody will ask him any questions, nobody will notice anyway.An hour later, the waitress appeared in the room again.“Our boss is on his way”Latest Chapter
CHAPTER 451
He looked Derek dead in the eyes, no emotion in his face, only a quiet, unwavering promise of what was to come.“One…”He didn’t shout it. He whispered it. And somehow, that made it worse.“Two…”The sound echoed in the back of Derek’s mind, crawling under his skin.“Three…”Silence spread through the hall like a thick fog.“Four…”The old man tilted his head slightly, studying Derek like an insect he was about to crush.And just before the fifth word could slip from his lips, he added with a smirk that held no warmth—“If I reach five and you’re still standing there like a fool, I swear on everything that breathes, I will skin you alive for lying to my face.”Immediately, Derek looked up with fire in his eyes, the chains still around him barely restraining the heat that surged through his words. He didn’t flinch. He didn’t cower. Instead, he raised his chin slightly, defiantly, as if spitting in the face of fear itself.“Well,” he said, his voice strong and stubborn, “I don’t care. I
CHAPTER 450
At that moment, Derek narrowed his eyes, his voice growing firmer as he responded with controlled defiance, “So the whole idea now is that I should what? Break this chair, prove myself, unleash whatever strength I have, just so you—an old man who thinks he sees everything can finally say I’m worthy?”He gave a slow shake of his head, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, though his heart pounded beneath his chest. “No. That’s not going to happen.”The guards tensed, hearing his tone. Even the old man slightly furrowed his brows, not expecting such a calm response. Derek continued, “You say I’m hiding behind lies. That I don’t have strength because your so-called all-seeing eyes can’t detect it. That’s not my fault. That’s on you. Maybe your eyes are failing. Maybe your senses are duller than you believe.”He leaned forward slightly in the chair, though his wrists were still tightly bound, his body aching from earlier blows. “Let me explain something very clearly,” he said
CHAPTER 449
At that moment, Derek slowly lifted his head. His eyes, no longer filled with fear, locked directly onto the old man's gaze. There was no tremble in his voice this time. No stutter. Only silence at first, the kind of silence that made everyone else in the room hold their breath. Then slowly, Derek's lips curved—not into a smirk, not into a smile—but into something in between. Calm. Unshaken. And maybe, just maybe… dangerous."You said your eyes see everything," Derek said slowly, almost like he was speaking to a child. "Then maybe… it's time you went back and checked if those eyes of yours still work."The old man’s jaw tightened. The guards flinched, fists tightening. It wasn’t just the words Derek spoke—it was how he said them. The calmness in his voice, the control. The sheer disrespect. But more than that, it was the confidence. It was unnerving.“You speak boldly for someone still tied to a chair,” the old man said coldly, but even he could hear the shift. Something didn’t feel r
CHAPTER 448
At that moment, upon hearing what the old man just said, something inside Derek twisted.It was like a slow, cold knife turning in his gut.Even though he was still tied to the chair, even though his body ached and his wrists were burning from the ropes cutting into them, his mind began to race. Piece by piece, the truth started to come together—painfully, clearly, and humiliatingly.“They’re talking about Jason…” Derek whispered to himself, barely audible.It all made sense now.The “other boy” the old man wanted… wasn’t just any other boy. It was Jason. The real fighter. The one who always stood in front, who always made sure Derek never had to lift a hand. The one who carried the team in the last competition the one who humiliated their enemies so badly that they came crawling back, hungry for revenge.Jason. Again.Derek bit down hard on the inside of his cheek, almost drawing blood. The bitterness tasted like shame.So that was it. These people, whoever they were, had seen the fi
CHAPTER 448
Derek’s heart began to pound hard.Each thump felt like a drumbeat in his chest, a brutal rhythm echoing his rising fear. He tried his best to hide it, to stay calm, to remain the fearless Derek everyone knew. But inside, he was shaking. The cloth bag still covered his face, the ropes held him tight to the cold metal chair, and he couldn’t move an inch—not even enough to shift his weight.But none of that was what unsettled him.It was the sound, that slow… steady… tap… tap… tap of the walking stick hitting the floor.He didn’t know why, but there was something about that sound that gripped his chest like a vice. It wasn’t rushed. It wasn’t panicked. It was calm—too calm. Whoever was walking toward him wasn’t nervous, wasn’t afraid, wasn’t in a hurry. That kind of composure only came from one thing: power.Whoever it was… they were in charge. No doubt about it.Derek knew it in his bones. He didn’t need to see to know. That wasn’t just any man coming toward him that was the boss. The
CHAPTER 447
Inside a warehouse that was so silent it almost swallowed sound, the air hung heavy with dust and the faint scent of oil and rusted metal. The dim light from a single flickering bulb above barely illuminated the vast, empty space, casting long, unsettling shadows across the cracked concrete floor.In the middle of the room, a lone metal chair sat under the bulb’s unsteady glow. And tied tightly to that chair was a man his head slumped forward, a rough cloth bag covering most of his face. His hands were bound behind the chair, his ankles strapped to its legs with thick rope that had already bruised his skin. He was breathing heavily, twitching now and then as the fog in his mind started to clear.A low groan escaped his lips as he stirred awake.Slowly, Derek began to lift his head, confused and disoriented. “Where... where am I?” he muttered under the bag, his voice hoarse from unconsciousness. He tried to move, but every attempt only made the ropes bite deeper into his skin. Panic se
