"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

"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

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

"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

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
