"I thought he was just being polite when he mentioned it, but he actually bought it for me!"

"And it’s the top-of-the-line flagship model! I’ve wanted this phone for so long but could never justify spending the money!"

Her face lit up with unrestrained joy as she admired her new phone. After a moment, she decided to take a few pictures and send them to Joseph.

"Brother-in-law, did you buy this? 【Love You.jpg】"

She sent the message, complete with a playful emoji. But after waiting for a while, there was no response.

"Ugh, that jerk! He sends me such an expensive gift but doesn’t even bother replying to my message."

Heidi pouted, grumbling under her breath. Unable to wait any longer, she dialed his number.

The phone rang for several seconds before Joseph finally answered. At that moment, he had just stepped out of his car and was about to enter his house.

"Hello? Heidi? What’s up?" Joseph asked casually.

"Brother-in-law, I got the package! It’s amazing—I love it so much!" Heidi

    "Sir, this way, please—right this way to our VIP lounge." He gestured politely, leading Joseph into an elegant private room."Sir, I’ll have someone begin processing your request right away. Would you like the funds in cash, or should we transfer it to your account?" Archie asked with a courteous smile."Deposit it into my bank account," Joseph replied."Then may I please see your ID and bank card? I’ll have it taken care of immediately. If you don’t have an account with our bank, we’ll be happy to open one for you," he added, smiling obsequiously.Joseph had witnessed the entire shift in Archie’s behavior and remained emotionally detached. This manager truly embodied the essence of a sycophant."I already have an account with your bank. That’s precisely why I came here," Joseph replied, placing his ID and bank card on the table."Very good, sir. Please give me a moment—I’ll handle it right away," Archie said, taking the documents and leaving to process the transaction.Moments lat

    "That’s true enough," Foster nodded.Over the years, very few had come looking for Brian Adams, and none of them had been ordinary. Including Joseph. Though Foster had been playing along, he couldn’t deny that Joseph was… different."In that case, let’s just follow the Chief Instructor’s rules," Joseph said lightly."If that’s your decision, then there’s nothing more I can say," Foster sighed."Thank you for guiding me here today, Dean Foster. I’ll treat you to a proper meal another time," Joseph said with a smile."No need for that, Professor Wilson. You’re too kind. This was just a small errand assigned by the president—nothing major. I merely showed you the way.""Don’t be so modest, Dean Foster. I have a feeling I’ll be troubling you again before long," Joseph said, giving Foster a meaningful glance.That glance made Foster uneasy.Joseph had seen something—something he shouldn’t have.As they continued talking, Joseph returned to where he had parked. Under Foster’s watchful gaze,

    "I hold all the answers you’re looking for. But if you’re too weak, knowing the truth will only become a torment.""If you uncover everything yet can do nothing, it’s better not to know at all.""In fact, you still have a choice—you could walk away from all of this and live a quiet, peaceful life."Adams flexed his knuckles, his voice as cold as ice."And what about you?" Joseph retorted. "Would you choose ignorance too, to live out your days in comfort?""I'm not like you," Adams replied flatly. "I do what I believe is right. I’ve done so for years. That’s why your master sent you to me."His face remained expressionless as he shook his head."In that case, there's no need for more talk. If strength is what you want, I’ll return with it."Joseph’s tone was steely."I’ll be waiting," Adams said, managing a twisted, mirthless smile."Then, Chief Instructor, I’ll take my leave."Joseph gave a slight bow, his tone equally frigid. He had expected this—extracting information from Brian Ada

    After a round of intense drills, the students all dropped into horse stances. The man rose and walked over, kicking a few students sharply in the legs.They winced in pain but made no sound.Then he barked out a few commands. Joseph could hear his voice clearly, though he couldn’t make out the exact words.That man, without a doubt, was Brian Adams."That’s Brian Adams, the chief martial arts instructor—and the man you’re here to see," Foster said."I figured as much," Joseph replied, squinting toward the field.With that, the two began walking toward him."Chief Instructor, someone’s here to see you," Neil Foster called out.Brian Adams glanced over, then shifted his gaze to Joseph, narrowing his eyes. He didn’t recognize the young man, but the presence of Foster with a stranger clearly piqued his suspicion."Fifteen-minute break!" Adams barked.Only then did Foster and Joseph step onto the field.Up close, Joseph got a clear look at the man. His features were already harsh, but the

    Unsurprisingly, his proposal sparked keen interest. None of them had ever experienced such an assessment method before.After finishing the morning session, Joseph took a brief rest. It wasn't until after two o’clock that he set off for Nova University’s West Campus. His appointment with Neil Foster was scheduled around three in the afternoon, so his timing was just right.As expected, he arrived at the campus with about ten minutes to spare. The West Campus sprawled across a vast area—so much so that Joseph felt it might even surpass the main campus in size. Yet, its population was noticeably smaller.Clearly, the spatial demands of this campus differed greatly from the main one. Joseph quickly noticed that many of the training facilities here occupied large plots of land. The overall atmosphere and layout contrasted starkly with the main campus.With some time to kill, Joseph drove leisurely through the areas of the campus open to vehicles. He observed that many key entrances and bu

    "I’d like to organize a free clinic just outside the school gates, where all students can participate." "As for the grading breakdown, I’m proposing: 50% written exam, 20% daily performance, and 30% based on their involvement in the clinic."Joseph’s tone hinted at something more—an ambition beyond academic scores."Mr. Wilson, your idea is certainly novel, but it requires hands-on involvement. At my age, I’d be hard-pressed to keep up, and as a thoracic surgeon, I’m not exactly suited for free clinic work," Felix Baker said with a wry smile."I’d be happy to team up with Mr. Wilson," Brady Rogers offered with a smile. "We teach the same four classes, just different subjects.""You two collaborating sounds perfect. Honestly, I think Mr. Wilson’s idea is fantastic," Mason Alvarez added between bites of her breakfast."If Professor Rogers is willing, I’d be glad to partner with him," Joseph said. "I’ve already drafted a rough plan, but I’ll need to discuss it with the Dean and Directo
