Jason remained calm, but something was starting to linger inside him, he wondered why nobody was around.
This place should be busy with people entering and leaving, but nobody is here, could it be everything has been arranged to that extent, then the owner is aware too.Jason was still lost in thoughts when a barking voice vibrated the room.“Who the hell is he, who refused to pay for the meals he ordered!!”Mr. Landon stormed inside with several bodyguards following him from behind.His red suit was dashing, he was a medium height man with an extremely large belly, his stomach will probably house four kids without issues.The waitress rushed to him.“Sir!, this man refused to pay for what he ordered”Landon examined Jason from head to toe, what a poor bastard, a poor man has no voice in this world, yet he dares to make trouble with the rich, he is definitely after death.Seeing Jason was more attractive than him even made him more angry, a poor bastard shouldn't be this handsome.“So you are the one who refused to pay for his dishes, who gave you that courage, to bash inside my restaurant and refuse to pay for what you have ordered”Mr. Landon step forward to Jason, Jason stands up from his seat, Mr. Landon is one of the top men in Ocean Berry, he can't be involved in things like this, he must explain everything to Mr. Landon, and he even has the camera to back him up, if they temper with the footage, then it's obvious that he was telling the truth.“Mr. Land—”“Slap!”Mr. Landon cuts Jason off with a heavy slap.“How dare you mention my name while still standing, don't you have manners”Jason was shocked to the bone, he never believed that Mr. Landon was involved in this too, no wonder Robert was so calm, all of them were so calm, he was sitting there like a fool.The thoughts enraged Jason.“Is this how you treat your customers, without giving them a chance to explain themselves”Mr. Landon's face darkened, he expected the kid to fall on his knees and lick his shoes as a sign of apologizing, but he talked back with so much confidence.“And what are you going to do. Go to your knees now, then I will listen to you”“Like you would care. You already know the truth”Robert and the rest faces darkened, Jason is such a stupid individual, he should be on his knees already, but he is challenging Mr. Landon, what a fool!“Jason, how dare you accuse Mr. Landon wrongly, are you insane! Do you know who Mr. Landon is!”Jade cheeks raised to her eyes.“Do as Mr. Landon says, don't expect us to help you”Natalie scoffed loudly.“Shameless bastard!”Mr. Landon faces Jason with a deadly expression.“So what if I know, you are just a commoner”One of his men handed him a document and a pen.Mr. Landon smashed it on the table close to him.“You either sign this or die!.“Either you work for free for twenty years or die, you have five seconds to choose”He wants to see this brat go on his knees and beg for his life, then he will force him to sign the documents.Jason sounded immediately.“It is easy, I chose death!”Jason's words shake the room, he rather died than waste twenty years of his life working for free.Jade frowns deeply, she really wanted to see Jason cry on the floor begging for his life, but he chose to be stubborn, death is not a bad thing too.Robert's face hardened, what a fool he is, he thinks this is a joke.Mr. Landon's face hardened.“So be it then”He faced his men.“Beat him to death”One of the men stepped forward to Jason.“You are going to regret that choice instantly.“No turning back!”He smashed his fist forward to Jason, Jason could feel his strength levels, he was better than Robert's henchmen, but his movement was too slow for him.He evades the punch and sends a powerful one to the man's face.The man staggered backwards and finally collapsed on his butt.Everybody was dumbfounded, Jade's eyes widened in shock, when did Jason learn those moves.Mr. Landon's face darken, it seems the brat knows some moves, no wonder he looked so confident.What a fool.“Attack him together!!, bring him to his knees”He can fight one man, but he can't fight many and besides, that is the weakest among the men he brought with him.The men launched forward to Jason, Jason managed to send some of them backwards, but they overpowered him and eventually brought him to his knees.They placed their hands on his shoulder and forced him to the ground.Jason was struggling with them, but the four men were using all their strength to push him down.Mr. Landon grabbed the knife on the table close to him.“There is no turning back kid, since you choose death, death it shall be”He moved the knife to Jason's head, but a loud voice vibrated the room.“Halt!! Your movement!”Everybody's eyes moved to the entrance direction, over ten men dressed in black suits entered the restaurant, in the middle was a middle-age man dressed in a black bathrobe.His presence seems to be sending out a cold atmosphere.Robert was stupefied to see the man.“And who are you!”His voice was loud, Mr. Landon's heart kicked violently when he heard Robert's words, is he a fool.He immediately stepped in the man's direction.“Sir George, it's such an honor to have you here.”He bows his head low as he walks closer to George.Robert's heart skipped when he heard the man's name, he looked closely and his heart seized, his legs turned jelly immediately, that is the Mayor.The Mayor of Ocean Berry.He didn't recognize him because of his dressing, what had he done, he wished the ground would swallow him.George's attention wasn't stable, his eyes were moving around the people in the room, it finally stopped at Jason. His eyes capture the ring on Jason's right hand, that is the supremacy ring of the Spectre family.This boy is the last surviving heir of the Spectre family, his master.His face darkened when he noticed Jason's condition, four men were pinning him down to the ground, who is doing this to his master.Who the fuck did this!Mr. Landon reached George.“It is….”SLAP!George smashed Mr. Landon on his face, the force sent Mr. Landon staggering backwards, he crashed on the table behind him.Everybody's eyes teared open in shockGeorge pointed at Jason.“Release that man now!!”

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
