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”

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
CHAPTER 446
At that moment, upon hearing what the boss just said, Jason couldn’t help but start smiling that cold, calm kind of smile that sent chills through anyone who saw it. “Well,” Jason said slowly, his voice low and controlled, “I told you before… one way or the other, I would definitely get my answer. Which I’ve already done. So, you have no use to me again.”His words echoed slightly against the tiled walls of the restroom, mixing with the faint dripping sound from a leaky faucet. The air grew heavier, colder. The boss, still kneeling weakly, could barely lift his head. That was when he actually realized that he had already spilled everything every secret he swore he would never tell, every name he was supposed to die protecting. The realization struck him harder than any physical blow could have. His eyes widened, trembling with regret and fear.Jason stepped closer, his boots making a light thud against the wet floor. “You see,” Jason continued, his tone turning indifferent, “you can d
