All eyes fixated on Elio and Wystan as they braced for confrontation, the tension in the room palpable.

A cough from the rear interrupted the charged atmosphere, heralding the arrival of Third Master Chance, leaning on his ornate cane. Instantly, the cacophony ceased, all attention shifting to him.

Assisting him were two striking women. Jeanette, Tiger's wife and proprietor of the Grand Emperor Bar, exuded glamour in a form-fitting dress. On the other side walked Alicia, tall and regal in a black gown reminiscent of a snow queen, the owner of Jade Dojo and Third Master Chance's youngest daughter.

Upon spotting Third Master Chance, Elio felt a surge of pressure. He knew Jeanette well—greedy and spiteful, she was someone he loved to loathe.

His surprise was evident when he saw Alicia, the same woman who had zoomed past him in a Porsche, gestured rudely, and nearly administered CPR after their sparring match at the dojo.

Alicia was just as stunned. That was the guy who had faked bein

    Sam erupted with fury, veins bulging on his forehead as he thundered, "How dare you! If anyone lays a hand on Master Rinz, they'll face me!"Tiger sneered dismissively, "Big talk. Do you really think your Golden Eagle gang can protect this kid? Keep dreaming."Third Master Chance intervened sternly, "Sam, calm yourself. We must abide by rules, or chaos will reign. Elio has committed grave offenses and must face the consequences."It was evident that Third Master Chance was allowing Tiger to exact his revenge. As a member of the Golden Eagles, Sam stood little chance against the authority of Third Master Chance, leaving Elio in a precarious position.Alicia furrowed her brow in concern, unwilling to stand idly by. "Father, yes, Elio erred, but this punishment is excessive. He's young. Is it fair to cripple him for life by severing his hand?"Her dissent shocked the onlookers. What was happening? Something felt amiss.Even Elio was surprised. Alicia was the daughter of Third Master

    In the hall, Cyclops gave Theodore a note saying that Sherman “Cloud Hand” Abbott was here to see him. Some of the other big shots looked surprised.All of them knew Sherman. Thirty years ago, he arrived in Cloudsea to start a company. However, the top mobsters of the time, Barnett South and Eustace Rim, extorted him. It escalated into an all-out war that almost got Sherman's brother killed.Sherman was no pushover. After that, he barged into Eustace’s territory bare-handed, grabbed a machete, and took down dozens of men all by himself. In the end, he cut off both of Eustace's arms, crippling him and destroying the mobster’s career forever.Since then, Sherman gained the nickname "Cloud Hand" and rose to prominence, becoming a well-known figure in Cloudsea.After so many years of silence, Sherman had finally reappeared. The question was… Why?Theodore glanced at the note with a cold expression. He was also very puzzled. He had never even met Sherman before. Why did Sherman appear

    Theodore was not happy with Sherman's attempt to intervene, and he showed it. He snorted and said, "I'm afraid my son-in-law won't just let things be. After all, this young man injured many of his subordinates."As long as he had his father-in-law’s support, Tiger was not afraid of Sherman. "That's right! I can’t show my face in the underworld anymore if I don't teach this kid a lesson today. I have to cut off one of his hands at least."Elio’s killing intent surged. "Just try it, fat pig."Tiger was furious. "Damned brat! I’ll break you if it’s the last thing I do!” Wendell and the rest of Tiger’s men gnashed their teeth like barely restrained beasts, dying to rip Elio from limb to limb.“We can’t forgive that brat!”"We should break his limbs and make him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.""Shut up, all of you!" A deafening roar shut them all up. It even made the cups on the coffee table tremble. Everyone went pale and instinctively fell quiet.Sherman’s eyes were

    That witch wanted to break him and earn a profit at the same time! Elio cursed her inwardly, but just as everyone thought that he would shoot her down, he said readily, "Fine, I’ll take the bet.”The brat really was an innocent little lamb. He had no idea how strong Fat Mantis was, and he had even fallen into Jeanette’s trap. The outcome was already obvious to all those watching. He was sure to bear a huge debt while suffering heavy injuries. His life was ruined!Almost no one was optimistic about Elio’s chances. Only Sam Jenck knew that Elio was stronger than everyone else thought. The winner was not decided yet!Sherman may have retired, but he continued to keep an eye on everything that happened in Cloudsea's underworld. When his informants told him about Elio’s predicament, he rushed to Leisure Tower immediately to help. How could he stand by and do nothing now? After all, Elio was Chloe’s savior, so he was determined to help the young man however he could.After Elio agreed to

    Todd read the contract out loud and said, "If there are no objections, both of you can come over and sign it with your thumbprints. Whoever wins will get this agreement as proof. In addition, you have to get a guarantor’s signature as well. If the loser doesn't pay the ten million dollars, the guarantor will bear the debt instead."Elio and Tiger both agreed. The two of them stepped forward, signed their names, and pressed their inked fingers onto the paper.As for the guarantors, Elio’s was Sam, and Tiger’s was Theodore. Both men signed the agreement solemnly.The arena for the fight was a large clearing in the backyard where Theodore's subordinates often trained. There were chains, weights, and two racks that held an array of weapons, including knives, spears, swords, and halberds.Everyone came to the backyard. Elio and Tiger stood in the middle of the field, glaring at each other like wild beasts. The spectators held their breaths.As soon as Todd shouted, "Let the duel begin!

    Elio raised an eyebrow. "The Seven Star Mantis Style, eh? You really are an expert. But so what? Let's see how I deal with you!"Elio’s body twisted like a crane shaking the rain from its body. His eyes were vigilant, and his hands ran through an array of different gestures representing the five elements. Theodore's expression darkened, and his brows knitted tightly together. He could already tell that Elio must have been trained by a master since he was young. Despite his age, he was already quite a formidable figure.Everyone was surprised. The fact that Tiger knew the Seven Star Mantis Style was no longer a secret, but most people did not recognize Elio’s fighting style."What is that kid doing? He seems to be quite strong, but his fist technique is so puzzling.""He’s just putting up a show. Just watch. Tiger will definitely take him down."Yarely's eyes were wide with surprise. She asked her father in confusion, "What kind of technique is that?"Sherman replied, "It’s call

    However, Theodore secretly praised his son-in-law for his cunning scheme. Naturally, he was biased toward Tiger. "There was no rule in the agreement that forbids the use of weapons, so there was no foul. Continue the match."Tiger’s weapon was called the Serpentine Swordwhip, and he had spent a lot of money on it. The hilt was carved in the shape of a golden serpent’s head that could also serve as a belt buckle. The blade was densely covered in scale-like patterns. It was usually inserted into the flexible sheathe and acted as the body of the belt, but it could be whipped out when needed.Now that he had a weapon in hand, Tiger was brimming with confidence. He brandished his sword and rushed at Elio, swinging it repeatedly. He was trained in swordsmanship, too, his attacks devoid of any openings.Elio was forced to fall back again and again. Having lost the initiative, he was now in danger. Suddenly, he took a diagonal step forth, closing in on the blade at a dangerously close dista

    The usually arrogant boss of Southshire Tiger was in trouble now. He was no match for Elio, and now he was pinned to the ground by a halberd, blood flowing from his wounds. It was a terrifying sight.Elio released his grip on the halberd and asked viciously, "Do you admit defeat, pig?"His father-in-law and Cloudsea’s underground big shots were all watching as Tiger was utterly humiliated. His reputation was in tatters. All he could do was endure the pain and roar, "Kill me if you dare! I’ll never admit defeat…"He had already thought things through. They were in Leisure Tower, surrounded by his father-in-law’s men. Tiger was sure that Elio would not do anything to him, lest he incur Theodore’s wrath.However, he had underestimated Elio's guts. Elio glanced at him with a fierce glint in his eyes. "Arrogant to the end, are you? Alright, I'll fulfill your wish."Elio was not bothered by Tiger’s threats. He had been through hell in the three years since he married into Evelyn’s famil

    "What?" Charlie's anger boiled over, his face turning bright red as he yelled, "This is too much! I want to see your chairman! He needs to apologize, or he'll regret it when I trash this place!"Laird gave a cold snort, grabbed the ready walkie-talkie, and called out, "Security, get in here, quick! We've got someone trying to wreck the place."In a flash, four security guards in black suits rushed into the room, grabbed Charlie, and marched him right out the door.The poor Jones family heir thought he could throw his weight around, but instead, he got a beating from the guards and ended up tossed outside, his suit torn and his face a mess of bruises.He tried to get up, wanting to shout insults, but the angry stares from the guards scared him silent.

Now, all of a sudden, it was the talk of the town.

    York nodded non-stop, apologizing. "Got it. Please forgive me. I'm really sorry."With the bill canceled, Elio felt they had done enough. "Let's call it even. Time to go."They walked out, heads high, leaving the staff and the hostesses in awe. York sat on the couch, face grim, and gulped down the fake Louis XIII. It was liquor from some other brand, cleverly resealed to look like the fancy stuff. It tasted pretty good, and hardly anyone could tell it was not the real deal. However, somehow, that kid figured it out. Who was he, anyway?York was fuming. Ever since his shop opened, he had sold bottle after bottle of this top-notch liquor to all sorts of important people, and no one had ever called him out. Now, some nobody had caught him."That little troublemaker, causing a scene in my shop," he grumbled. "Just you wait. I'll take care of you."As the boss was getting worked up and ready to get even, one of the girls spoke up, "That Mr. Rinz seems pretty impressive. I heard he even

    York asked with a friendly smile, "I don't think I've met this young man before. Can someone introduce him?"Yvonne replied with a grin, "This is Mr. Rinz, a dear friend of ours. He's the one who wanted to meet you."York did not know Elio's story, and he looked like an average guy. However, he had ordered three bottles of the fancy Louis XIII cognac and seemed to be friends with some pretty important people, including a famous TV beauty. York could not help but be impressed."Really? I'm super honored and happy to meet you, Mr. Rinz. Hope you'll come to hang out with us more," York said with a big smile. He's the kind of guy who knew just what to say and was ready to shake hands, showing lots of respect. However, Elio did not reach out his hand at all, which made York's smile disappear, and he felt really annoyed inside.Elio just frowned and said, "I think once is enough for this place." Yvonne and the others exchanged puzzled looks. They had no clue why Elio was upset and wh

    "You think you can hit me and get away with it? I could ruin your family in an instant. Now, get out of here, do you hear me?" Tanner yelled at her."You..." Fear flickered in May's eyes. She was too scared to argue, worried about what he might do to her.Jenny let out a sigh, went over to help her friend up, and whispered, "Let's just go. We can't stand up to him. We've just got to deal with this bad luck."May knew the truth. She and Jenny might come from money, but they were nothing compared to Tanner's powerful family. What could she do? If she pushed him too far, she was afraid he might make her disappear for good.May had no choice but to follow her best friend, looking all messy and upset. She did not think she would end up like that, feeling so angry. She was mad at Tanner for messing with her feelings and even madder at Elio, thinking he had a big part in her troubles.The room was super quiet; no one wanted to talk. Tanner was in a bad mood—he got tricked by someone not

    As Evelyn's figure vanished from view, May frowned deeply and sneered, "She's so hopeless. She can't even handle her husband. Being a woman like that is just embarrassing.""Come on, don't be so hard on her," Jenny said. "Evelyn's got guts. She was ready to divorce Elio to stand up for what's right. Friends like her are rare.""Hmph, what good does that do? She still didn't get the stuff back. I really thought she could handle that jerk, but it was a waste," May said, not hiding her scorn."May, just a heads-up," Jenny lowered her voice, "the divorce might be good for Evelyn, but it puts you at risk. I've noticed Tanner looking her way a lot. Be careful."May felt a chill, sensing trouble, but she pushed back, "No way. Tanner told me he only loves me. You're just worrying too much."Jenny could tell what her best friend was thinking but kept it to herself. "Okay, let's just say I didn't mention anything. Let's head back."In the private room, Tanner was eager to hear the news. Wh

    Jenny and May were shocked, staring at each other and not knowing what to do.The couple was at a breaking point. May felt a rush of panic. Did that mean she would never get back the fancy watch and the big Benz? She quickly pulled on Evelyn's arm, trying to tell her friend not to say things she could not take back. However, it was too late."That's for the best," Evelyn snapped. "From now on, we're nothing to each other.""Let's just hope we're both happy from here on out," Elio said, trying to sound indifferent. However, inside, it felt like a thousand needles were poking his heart.Evelyn did not look back. She turned and walked away fast, a cold air swirling around her.Jenny and May ran after her, calling out, "Evelyn, wait up!""Don't leave, wait for us!"Evelyn felt a heavy sadness. They had been married for three years, together every day. To say she felt nothing would be a lie. Even though she never really respected Elio, going their separate ways was still hard to take

    The Seven Fairies Team was a tough bunch, and except for Helen, each one had fought their way to success in the cutthroat world of business. They were not about to let anyone push them around.With a loud "smack," Jenny's cheek stung from a fierce slap. She let out a sharp cry and glared at Yvonne. "Ouch! How dare you hit me?""You insult us, and you think a slap is too much?" Yvonne spat back, her teeth clenched in anger.May was not lucky, either. She, too, got slapped, leaving a bright red mark on her face. Lydia, who did it, shouted at her, "Who are you calling names, huh?"Jenny and May were no pushovers, but now, with their cheeks burning from the slaps and surrounded by a group of fierce-looking girls, they were boiling with rage inside. Yet, they did not dare to strike back, appearing utterly defeated and powerless.It was not the super-tough opponents they needed to worry about. It was the teammates who messed everything up!Evelyn had been sure she could get back those

    The women finally got it—the beautiful woman was Elio's wife. Yarely and the others stood up for a better look.A bunch of girls with eyes as wide as saucers were watching everything unfold, each one silently agreeing that Evelyn was the picture of perfection. It was no surprise that Master Rinz could keep his cool, even with all those stunning girls around him.Evelyn scanned the room, and it hit her—they were all gorgeous girls, and Elio was the only boy. It was just like the old saying: he was the lone rooster in the henhouse.When Yvonne tried to be friendly, Evelyn was not having any of it. She huffed, "Forget it. I just need to talk to Elio about something private. I'll be out of your hair in no time."That made Evelyn seem super stuck-up and hard to talk to. Yarely and the others felt put off, so they just sat back down on the couch.They were all tough cookies, top dogs in their own right.
