Mr. Landon quickly recovered from the slap, he faced his men and roared.

“What are you still doing, release him!!”

Sir George doesn't like violence, and he is the Mayor, there is no way he will folds his hand and watch him brutally assault somebody.

Dammit!!

This bastard is lucky that the Mayor showed up.

Jason was released immediately, he was starting to break free anyway, his strength seemed to be increasing every minute.

He doesn't know what is happening to him, his body seems to be packed with so much energy, surely those men won't have been able to hold him any longer.

Jason walks to the exit without looking at anybody's face; however, he plans to show the Mayor his respect.

Mr. Landon couldn't hold it anymore, Jason wasn't walking fast enough, he was delaying the Mayor's time.

“Get the hell out of here already, Bastard!!!”

George's face darkened, he would've killed Mr. Landon already if these kids weren't here, he is lucky to still be alive, and he dares insult the master again.

He angrily stepped forward to Landon and slapped him on his face, the force sent Mr. Landon to the ground, the slap was heavier than the former, and it echoed through the room.

Mr. Landon was stupefied, what did he do now, his face was red like a tomato, but he dare not ask questions.

He quickly bows his head on the floor.

“Spare me, Sir George. Please pardon my mannerless behavior”

George felt like crushing Landon down with his feet, but that will look overboard to the people around, he was lucky that these kids were around.

He turned to face Jason, he would've knelt already, but he couldn't do it because of the people's presence, and the master doesn't know who he truly is.

“What happened”

He approached Jason. He must handle the situation fully, so the master can reward him later.

Jason was surprised the Mayor cared to listen, so he explained everything to him.

George's face darkened. He turned facing Natalie.

“Come here”

Natalie's legs turned jelly, the Mayor of Ocean Berry, the Winston family, one of the most powerful families in Ocean Berry, the head of the Winston family, George Winston, is calling her.

Her heart skipped, her family are crawling babies in front of the Winston family, what is she going to do now, even the Jackson won't dare to cough in their presence, let alone a commoner family like hers.

Natalie struggled moving her legs to George, she dare not lie, the cctv camera will prove everything.

“Sir, I am sorry!”

Natalie dropped to her knees with tears streaming down from her face.

George didn't pay attention to her words, he faced the men behind him, and they handed him a pen.

He throws the pen close to Natalie.

“Sign the documents”

Natalie's heart skipped, she can't sign the documents, she can't work for free for twenty years, and it's even overtime working, she will have to quit schooling.

“Sir…, I will pay the money. I have the money with me”

George didn't put ears to her words.

“You have five seconds to decide, or you will face prison immediately. Five years is what I would arrange for you, that is the minimum”

Natalie's heart jumped, she quickly rushed to the document, everybody knows that the Mayor doesn't joke with his words, and his men were already moving to seize her.

She opens the documents and starts signing the spaces that requires her signature, her eyes capture the fee of breaking the conduct of the contract.

One billion dollars.

Her hands started shaking, what had she done.

George sounded when she was done.

“I will put somebody here to monitor you”

Natalie collapsed to the ground feeling helpless, she is finished, Jason this ANIMAL!

Robert and Jade were shaking in their spot, they were afraid the Mayor would tag them into this case, even though Jason didn't say anything about them.

George faced Mr. Landon.

“Pardon me, Sir George, I didn't know anything about the whole situation, I didn't get to hear the whole story!!”

Mr. Landon was shivering uncontrollably, this is the Mayor they are talking about, one of Ocean Berry's most fearful men.

“Of course I will pardon you, but I have other things to address.

“You have been defrauding the government of your taxes, and the statue outside was constructed on the road. Your fine is a billion dollars, come to the courthouse tomorrow. Bring your lawyer along”

Mr. Landon's heart kicked violently, he felt like dying already, everything the Mayor said is true, he is finished!

“Sir George…”

“Get out!!!, All of you!!!”

George clapped, and his men brought out their guns and simultaneously shot all the cameras in the room.

Mr. Landon hurriedly rushed to the exit.

He dare not disobey the Mayor's orders.

Robert and Jade also hurried to the exit, including Natalie, the sound of the gunshots almost made them peed in their pants.

Jason waited because he wanted to thank the Mayor, however, all the men suddenly dropped to their knees when everybody left.

Jason was dumbfounded by their actions, he turned to the Mayor and the Mayor was also on his knees.

“You are the last surviving heir of the Spectre family.

“I, George Winston, is a disciple of the Spectre family. I have come to swear my loyalty to the Master”

George bows his head on the floor, he had to make sure nobody was watching, the master identity is very complicated.

Jason was completely flabbergasted by George's words, what is the Mayor saying, and why is he bowing his head on the floor.

How did the Mayor even know his family name.

Jason was confused.

“I don't know what you are talking about, Sir George. You got the wrong person”

George raised his head to face the master.

“That ring can't be fake. You are from the Spectre family, flesh and blood, and you looked exactly like your grandfather”

His voice vibrated the room again.

Jason's heart skipped when George mentioned the ring, this is the only thing his family left him with, they abandoned him and left him with a ring.

“This ring belongs to my family, they told me that at the orphanage home”

George's fist hardened, the earlier scenes flashed through his mind, the master must've suffered a lot of hardship.

“I am sorry, I failed to locate you master”

“How do you know, I am truly the person you are looking for”

Jason was curious now, he still believed the Mayor had mistaken him for somebody else, but he wished he was the right person.

George stands up to his feet.

“Haven't you be feeling strange, your body hasn't been the same since you got injured badly”

    At that moment, Summer slowly exhaled, trying to calm the storm in her chest. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the table, but her shoulders dropped ever so slightly. She was beginning to calm down.Deep inside her heart, she knew she had done her best. She had pushed herself farther than she thought she could. And even though the pressure was still there—heavy, loud, and alive in her chest—there was also a quiet voice reminding her that this time, she wasn’t alone.She turned her head to look at Jason, who was standing beside her, arms crossed, with a calm smile playing on his lips.“If not for you,” she said quietly, almost like a secret, “I probably wouldn’t have even gotten a very good, not to talk of two excellent results.”Jason didn’t respond immediately. He just looked at her, really looked at her—at the girl who used to doubt herself, used to shrink under pressure. But now? Now she stood straighter. Her eyes were still unsure, but they held something new—strength. The

    At that moment, the announcement of yet another "Excellent" grade hit the room like a silent bomb.Gasps filled the air, followed by a wave of murmuring and confused glances. The scoreboard had just been updated. That was the second "Excellent" mark given out today—and again, no name was revealed.The tension among the participants doubled instantly. Many had only managed “Good” or “Very Good” grades, and even those had taken tremendous effort under pressure. But now? Someone out there had two flawless victories already, and no one knew who it was. The judges were keeping it secret, following protocol, but the mystery only made things worse.One of the groups—Team Zenton from Greenstone Academy—felt the heat even more. They were one of the top-rated teams coming into the competition. Their leader, Callan, had been confident, even a little arrogant, going into the event. So far, they had only received two “Very Good” grades across the rounds, and while that was decent, it wasn’t excell

    At that moment, Jason stepped forward calmly and said, “Well, it’s not going to be difficult.” His voice was firm, filled with quiet confidence. “Since this is just theory, we only need to position the goat in a specific format. If we can get that right, then everything else will follow naturally. It’s all about aligning her body properly to reduce pressure and let things flow.”He paused for a moment, then added, “I’ll do it myself.”Summer, standing a few steps away, looked shocked. Her eyes widened, and she stepped closer immediately. “Jason, what are you trying to do?” she asked in a low, tense voice. “You can’t be serious. That’s too risky. The goat’s body is too small to take that kind of direct energy infusion—what if something goes wrong?”Jason just turned his head slightly and gave her a calm, reassuring smile. “No problem,” he said softly. “Just trust me. Watch me do it. It’s not that difficult. I’ve got this.”Summer hesitated. Her hands clenched by her sides, and she bit

    At that moment, when the news quietly slipped across the competition hall that someone had already gotten an “Excellent” in one of the first practical rounds, it didn’t take long for it to spread like wildfire. It was whispered from one booth to another, passed through murmurs and side-eyes like a contagious secret.The first Excellent, That was huge.Students began turning their heads, some rising slightly from their stations, others glancing over the shoulders of their teammates. Their hearts skipped.Because that word didn’t come easily, Getting “Good” was fine.Getting “Very Good” was already impressive.But “Excellent”? That meant perfection. That meant someone had just done the impossible.And more importantly—none of them had done it.The first question that clouded every single participant’s mind was—Who?“Who got it?”“Is it from our team?”“No way…”“Which station was it?”“Was it that quiet girl? Or that group with the glasses boy?”“No, no. I think I saw someone submitting

    At that moment, Soma would then look at Jason with hesitation written all over her face. The metal tool in her hand trembled slightly as she glanced at the cat again, still sedated but visibly uncomfortable. The tension in the room was thick.Then she asked softly, “Jason… what exactly are you suggesting?”Jason didn’t speak right away. He looked at the monitor again, then at Soma, and then at the small, soft animal on the table. He wanted to be careful with his words. He knew how much this meant to her—not just the competition, but the cat’s safety, the ethics of her profession, and her own confidence as a vet.“What I’m saying is…” Jason began carefully, “maybe you shouldn’t do the surgery—not yet.”Soma raised her eyes sharply, confused and anxious. “What?”“I mean…” he stepped closer, lowering his voice to keep her focused. “What if… what if you just try to pull it out gradually, just like you said earlier. You already said it’s risky, I know that. But it’s also risky to operate w

    So Jason couldn't help but needed.“Yes, I know.”His tone was calm, sincere. “I did my research,” he added, gently adjusting the position of the cotton pads and checking the temperature of the sanitizer bottle. “When I heard that this is what you’re studying… veterinary medicine… I just got curious. I’ve been reading and watching things for a while now. I just wanted to understand it better. I wanted to understand you better.”Summer blinked. Her lips parted slightly, and for the first time since this whole mess began today, her cheeks began to glow a soft red.She turned her face a bit, trying not to make it obvious, but the warmth was already spreading.Jason… did research? For her?He actually sat down, on his own, and tried to learn what she did every day—without her asking, without trying to show off. He did it quietly, patiently, just so he could be of help or feel closer to her world.That wasn’t something guys just did.Especially not the Jason she thought she knew.And while
