"Dad, Mr. Louis..." Riley spotted them and dashed over."Look at you, Riley, such a sweetheart! Come here for a big hug!" Howard chuckled, lifting Riley into his arms.They exchanged pleasantries with Holden's family before Yuffie approached, a hint of urgency in her voice."Howard, we really should get going. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we won't make it in time.""Don't worry, it's still early. We've got time," Howard reassured her with a grin."Early? Have you seen the time? No more waiting. We have to move it, or we'll be late!" Yuffie was on edge."Yuffie, take it easy. We'll be there in plenty of time!" Yoel laughed. "Plus, I promise you, we're going to have the best seats in the house!"She could not believe it. How could they possibly be late? The main event could not start without the guest of honor!"But..." Yuffie was not convinced."Yuffie, if Howard and Yoel say it's fine, then it's fine," Holden cut in. "And standing around too early on the spot is just unco

"Wow! The whole city's decked out, talk about going all out!"As they drove, Talia could not help but marvel at the cheerful decorations lining the streets."This just goes to show that this guy must be head over heels for her, right?" Howard said with a knowing chuckle."Yep," Talia agreed with a soft nod.Talia hesitated, her voice laced with an unspoken yearning. "Howard, remember when I said you had to propose before I'd say yes? I was just kidding, you know..."Howard's smile cut through her words. "Talia, I vowed to ask for your hand, to make you the happiest woman alive. Trust me, I'll make it happen.""I don't need any grand proposal..." Talia inhaled deeply. "All I need is your true love, your honesty with Riley, with my family. That's enough. And I've felt that from you, so...there's really no need for anything more.""Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would've proposed, Talia. I want every woman in Mendorra to look at you with envy," Howard said, interrupting her onc

Tasha and her family shared the same look of disdain, eyeing the pair with scorn.Howard had planned to just drive on through, but Tasha's snide comment made him ease off the accelerator.He glanced over at Tasha and her relatives, offering a composed, amused smile. "Fancy seeing you here. Came to check out the excitement?""Hmph!" Tasha huffed. "You're here, aren't you? It's not like you own the place!""Oh, really?" Howard's lips quirked up. "I'd watch my tone if I were you. Whether you'll make it inside tonight is still up in the air.""Big talk!" Kenneth scoffed. "And who do you think you are? Try and stop us from getting in, I dare you!""Howard, let's just go," Talia said, a hint of annoyance creasing her brow.She could not stand the Jenkins family. Years of dealing with their two-faced antics left her with zero patience for them. If it were not for her dad, she would not waste another breath on them."Sure!" Howard pulled out his phone, shot a quick text to Kenny, and d

"Keep up this ruckus, and I won't be nice anymore!" the staffer warned with a hard edge to his voice."Hmph! Try and stop me!" Tasha huffed, defiantly striding toward the entrance.She barely made it two steps before a staffer shoved her to the ground. "Get them out of here, all of them!" he barked."You got it!" came the chorus of replies. Thus, Tasha and her family were quickly herded aside like unruly cattle."Ugh... I'm so mad, so freaking mad... He's not getting away with this..." Tasha seethed, her voice dripping with venom.Elsewhere, Howard's car was cruising close to Mendorra Tower plaza, just three kilometers out.Their ride turned heads the whole way, especially the sleek convertible Porsche—it was pure envy on wheels. Whispers spread among the onlookers, speculating if they were the night's VIPs.Talia blushed at the murmurs, wishing she could just blend in with the crowd of onlookers."Wow! Look at that!"She could not help but marvel at the sight before her. A pl

"Duh, obviously. Who else gets to roll right into the square?""Wow! The car's a knockout, but the lady's even more so. She's gorgeous, and the guy's a looker too. They're like a dream couple, straight out of a fairy tale!""Howard, what... What have you done driving here? We're in real hot water now..." Talia's voice was edged with panic inside the car."Shh!" Howard grinned, pressing a finger to his lips. "Talia, no talking—just watch the fireworks!"Boom! Boom! Boom!The sky above the control zone erupted with thunderous blasts before Howard's echo had even died away, sending tremors through the city.A cascade of dazzling fireworks painted the night, etching hearts among the stars."Wow! It's incredible!"All heads tilted back, eyes wide as a chorus of awe filled the air.The fireworks show, with its 1800 bursts of color, lasted a full 10 minutes before fading away.Then, as if on cue, 1800 sky lanterns began their ascent, each one carrying a message into the heavens."W

In a fleeting moment, Talia's mind was flooded with memories, each one stirring a sea of emotions within her.All the wrongs and pain she endured over the last five years seemed to vanish in that moment, making her every action feel incredibly worthwhile.As tears streamed down her face, 1800 drones converged above the plaza.The central drone descended gracefully, hovering just above the Porsche, right before Talia's eyes—Brilliance Beyond.Simultaneously, all the screens within the secured area switched to feature close-ups of Talia and Brilliance Beyond."Talia, it's been exactly one thousand eight hundred days since we met," Howard announced, his voice clear through the wireless headset he had donned."For one thousand eight hundred days and nights, you've endured so much. I'm deeply sorry."I make this vow before everyone here: From this day forward, I won't let you face any hardship. I'll make sure you're the happiest woman on Earth!"Talia, please give me a chance, an op

"Riley, do you want Mommy to say yes to Daddy?" Yoel asked, grinning at Riley in the back of the Land Rover."Yes!" Riley shouted."Then tell Mommy, will you?" Yoel's grin widened. He clipped a wireless earpiece onto Riley's shirt as he spoke."Mommy, say yes to Daddy!" In the next instant, Riley's tender voice echoed through the speakers of a thousand LCD screens.Talia, who had been lost in tears, snapped to attention at the sound of her child's plea.She did not even pause to wipe her tears before she pushed the car door open and stepped out.She rushed to Howard and helped him to his feet. "Honey, get up! I'll say yes, I'll say yes to you!"The crowd erupted into a thunderous ovation."Thank you, my love!" Howard said, rising and gently wiping away Talia's tears, his smile beaming."Darling, no more tears. You won't look your best if you cry, and all eyes are on you. Plus, we're on live TV!""I don't care, I just need to cry!" Talia collapsed into Howard's embrace, sobbin

"This can't be happening. It just can't!" Tasha's voice was filled with venom as she shouted. "This has to be a hoax. She can't be the star of the evening!""How... How could it be her?" Kenneth's face mirrored the same disbelief, his eyes not leaving the screen.Only then did he piece together why Howard's mere words barred them from even getting close to the restricted area.A wave of fear washed over him as the shock subsided. He was not naive; he knew that anyone who could pull off an event like that was no ordinary player.He finally saw Howard for who he truly was—not the insignificant figure they had once thought, but a titan, a force of nature perched high above the rest.The laughable part was that his family had been plotting to get even with Howard, to settle a score. What a cruel twist of fate!Given the clout Howard had shown that day, taking on the Jenkins family was as effortless as stepping on an ant!After letting out a deep sigh of relief, he quickly stood up a

"Dad, Mom, you two sleepyheads, it's time to rise and shine! It's nearly nine!"The next morning, just as they felt they had barely shut their eyes, Riley's voice echoed through the door."Oh, sweetheart, time to wake up!" Talia jolted awake and quickly sat up, then swung her legs out of bed."Darling, what's the matter?" Howard, then awake, looked at Talia with concern."What do you think?" Talia playfully scolded."Can't help it if my wife's irresistible," said Howard with a cheeky smile."Stop it!" Talia's face warmed with a blush."Alright, I'll stop, or we might just have a quiet night," Howard chuckled with a teasing glint in his eye."What? Not tonight..." Talia gasped in mock horror.Howard's laughter filled the room.After a bit more banter, they got dressed and stepped out of the room, greeting Holden and Kaylee with a friendly nod."Dad, Mom, you two are such sleepyheads, sleeping in like this," Riley chided as she bounded over."Dad and Mom needed some extra res

Chapter 200

Yoel and the Judge had been out on business together that day.They intended to catch up with Howard to discuss some matters. As they approached the community gate in their car, they picked up on the unmistakable presence of two martial god-level forces.With their finely tuned senses, they could detect the slightest whiff of martial arts energy.The moment the two elders made no effort to hide their presence, Yoel and the Judge picked up on it instantly.They quickly sprang from the car and chased after the source of the energy."You two early-stage martial god geezers aren't even worth the effort it would take for my sir to raise a hand!" the Judge taunted."Hmm?" The elders' eyes narrowed sharply as they felt the martial arts prowess emanating from Yoel and the Judge.The power of either Yoel or the Judge surpassed that of the two elders.Rumors had it that Yoel was the only one by Howard's side who had ascended to the martial god level. However, even though Yoel's cultivati
