"Don’t fall for it, man. That air rifle can’t even reach balloon number 99. I tried for the Barbie doll on balloon 23 and spent $300 without hitting it. I could’ve bought three Barbies for that price!"

"You think $300 is bad? I spent $700 trying to win the limited-edition Lego set on balloon 42 and still didn’t get it. I’m sick just thinking about it!"

"This booth is a total scam. Don’t waste your money!"

The surrounding crowd chimed in, offering Joseph well-meaning advice to walk away.

Joseph simply smiled. He had already observed others playing and quickly deduced that while the rifle’s accuracy left much to be desired, its range was sufficient. For someone without proper training, hitting the target was nearly impossible—but for him, it was another story.

"Mind your business! You’re just bitter because you lack skill!"

The owner snapped at the onlookers, clearly irritated by their comments.

"Joseph, maybe we should forget it. It’s not about the money—I just don’t want you to ge

    His voice trembled.And Alice?She didn’t answer—just smiled, her eyes shining with something deeper than words."Joseph, I want to be truly yours."Alice lifted her lashes slightly, her gaze lingering on Joseph’s chiseled features. Her voice was soft, but serious.“Are you sure about this, sweetheart?” Joseph asked gently, brushing his fingers over Alice’s warm, blushing cheek. His eyes were filled with a deep, burning tenderness.“Mm-hmm.”Feeling the warmth of his touch, Alice responded with a delicate nod. Her lashes fluttered, and she slowly closed her eyes.With that quiet confirmation, Joseph exhaled deeply. In one swift motion, he gathered Alice into his arms.Alice nestled against him, her eyes still closed, surrendering to his embrace.And when everything was finally unveiled, all the restraint and composure Joseph had built up over the years came crashing down.Alice clung tightly to his neck, responding to him with a fiery passion of her own.Her heart raced, her mind bla

    Puzzled, Joseph pulled out his keys and unlocked the door.The moment he stepped inside, darkness greeted him. He instinctively reached for the light switch—but before he could touch it, a soft glow flickered to life in the center of the living room.Candlelight.The flames danced gently, slowly illuminating Alice’s porcelain face, her eyes bright with joy.“Joseph, happy birthday! You silly thing—of course you forgot it was today.”Alice stood there with a cake in her hands, beaming.At that moment, soft lights around the room began to glow, casting a warm ambiance over everything.“Thank you…” Joseph blinked, stunned, then reached out and ruffled Alice’s hair.“Silly Joseph, it’s been years since anyone celebrated your birthday, hasn’t it?” Alice looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with emotion, as if she could feel the loneliness he’d hidden for so long.“Well, you’re celebrating it now, aren’t you?” Joseph smiled as he took the cake from her and set it gently on the table. Th

    Inside the holding cell, aside from Raymond’s outbursts, the others kept their heads down, avoiding Joseph’s gaze.“If I’m not mistaken, we’ve met once or twice before,” Joseph said icily, eyes sweeping over the four young men.He remembered Scrappy well—he’d taught him a hard lesson once, and had shown mercy then. Had he gone all out, Scrappy would’ve been bedridden for months.As for Griffin Bailey, Joseph was even more familiar with him—Heidi’s fervent admirer. He hadn’t expected Griffin to be running with this crowd.Birds of a feather flock together.Jonathan, Raymond’s ever-present sidekick, also rang a bell.None of them dared meet Joseph’s eyes.“Mr. Wilson... we were wrong. Please, just this once, forgive us.”Raymond gritted his teeth as he spoke, still clinging to some semblance of pride.“Yes, Mr. Wilson, my son was one of your students,” Howard Kim quickly added.“He is not my student. If someone like him were in my class, he’d receive double the punishment.”“And this is

    "Howard Kim, I have to hand it to you. Your son’s already in custody, and you don’t even know what he did. You're here making a scene without a clue—no wonder your son turned out the way he did," Blake said icily."This..." Howard rolled his eyes and fell silent, lost for words. For some reason, seeing Blake Morgan here gave him an ominous feeling."Old Mr. Morgan, my boy... he didn’t offend you, did he?"He suddenly had a terrible suspicion."What do you think? Instead of wasting time questioning me, why don’t you go find out the truth inside—or better yet, ask your son yourself."Blake’s voice was frosty.Swallowing hard, Howard Kim walked inside and approached a short, stout police officer handling the case."Officer, what exactly did my son do? He’s always been obedient and well-behaved. How could he possibly have broken the law?""You should take a look for yourself.""Are you sure you know your son as well as you think?""What kind of well-behaved kid spends every night at Trium

    "So that’s how it is..." Joseph murmured, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over him.Was he supposed to simply wait? But how long? The uncertainty left him adrift."Kid, there’s no shortcut—but that doesn’t mean there’s no way." "Before you arrived, we’d already brainstormed a few plans—methods that could help restore some of your strength." One of the elders finally spoke up."I knew it. I knew you all wouldn’t let me down," Joseph replied with a wry smile."To be honest, they’re hardly ‘methods.’ They're things you already know—just train. Train with discipline." "You used to be a master of your craft, but when your memories were lost, so too were your body’s muscle memories." "So our suggestion is simple: train hard, and you might awaken your body's instincts." "Not much of a plan, is it? You probably thought of that yourself already." Their words grew awkward as they trailed off.Without breaking the formation laid by Joseph’s master, their options were painfully limit

    Raymond toppled forward and tumbled out the window.Scrappy prepared to follow, but just as he stepped up, a firm grip clamped around his ankle. A team of plainclothes officers surged into the room and brought him down in seconds.---Raymond crashed to the ground below, landing face-first with a sickening thud.He groaned and tried to get up—but before he could move, a pair of cold steel cuffs locked around his wrists."Been running all night, huh? Looks like you ran straight into our net," the short, round-faced officer muttered as he secured the cuffs.Moments later, the rest of the team arrived."Let me go! Do you know who my father is? My father is Howard Kim!" Raymond shouted."You have no right to arrest me! Let me go!" "My father is Howard Kim! Howard Kim, you hear me?"The officer raised an eyebrow. "What?""I said—Howard Kim! My father is Howard Kim!" Raymond gritted his teeth."Louder.""...""Forget it. I can’t hear a thing. Take him away." "If he starts screaming a
