As the arrow struck one of the Falcon men, he crumpled to the ground in agony, sending a shockwave of fear through the remaining Falcons. They looked up to see Richard, poised above them with another arrow notched to his bow. "I said, get away from her!" Richard's voice boomed, his eyes flashing with determination as he drew two more arrows simultaneously and let them fly. The arrows found their marks, felling two more men who collapsed to the ground in pain. In the midst of the chaos, some of the Falcons fled in terror while others opened fire at Richard. With lightning reflexes, he dodged the incoming bullets, swiftly evading their attacks as he made a strategic retreat from the scene. "Nina, I'm going to draw the Falcon away from Linda. You guys go get her," Richard said urgently through their earpiece. "What? Are you insane? They'll kill you! Let's fight them together," Emmanuel protested, his voice filled with concern. "I apprecia...

Richard and Emmanuel engaged in hand-to-hand combat training, their arms wrapped with bandages. The training session was both challenging and intense, with punches landing and dodges executed skillfully. Emmanuel's progress was evident as he made it difficult for Richard to gain an advantage. Richard's agility became apparent when Emma attempted to shove him, only to have Richard swiftly dodge and execute a leg tackle, causing Emma to land on the ground with a pained "Ouch." "I almost thought I had you there," Emma remarked. "Well, you didn't," Richard replied, extending a hand to help Emma up. "I have to give it to you; you're a fast learner," Richard acknowledged. "It took me almost three months to reach an average level in combat, but you've managed it in just weeks. If you keep this up, you might even surpass me." "Don't flatter me enough, let's go again," Emma retorted, squeezing his hands in r...

As Emma punched the bag, sweat glistening on his forehead, Richard observed him closely. "Hey, even Cynthia can punch better than this. Remember, that's the enemy, not Nina, your girlfriend," Richard teased. "One word from you again and I'm gonna punch the life out of you! I'm already trying my best!" Emmanuel exclaimed as he punched the bag, breathing heavily. "Hey, take it easy," Richard intervened, pulling Emmanuel back from the punching bag as he was about to demonstrate. "When you want to punch someone, you have to feel more solid than the person you're punching. It's like when you want to punch a rubber, you have to act like a plastic. Or when you want to punch a rock, you have to feel like you're made of metal or iron," Richard explained, delivering two powerful punches to the bag, causing it to swing violently. After the demonstration, Emma followed Richard's instructions and landed a hard, heavy punch on the b...

As the escape unfolded on the road, the police remained present, securing the entire vicinity to assess the situation thoroughly. A sleek black Range Rover arrived at the scene, with Gideon stepping out of it. The door swung open, courtesy of one of the occupants. Approaching the scene, Gideon surveyed the area and observed a considerable number of his men from the Falcon Fraternity being attended to. They were being carefully placed on stretchers and loaded into the emergency bus before it departed from the scene. "What happened here?" Gideon demanded, turning to the head of his fraternity for answers. "Don't tell me a nineteen-year-old kid slipped away from the most feared group in the continent," Gideon growled in anger, his frustration evident. "Tell me he had help escaping," Gideon pressed as he advanced toward the leader, who recoiled, walking backward in fear. "Sir, believe me when I say this. This kid is not just an easy opponent. He's...

Richard Emma, and Nina remained in a state of shock, particularly Nina, who was unaware of Gloria's identity but sensed the gravity of the situation. "Please, don't scare me, guys. What's going on?" Nina asked, her voice tinged with concern. "Gloria is Jim's stepmom, the one Richard fought against to overthrow from the company last year," Emma explained, filling Nina in on the background. "She's currently in jail now." "Well, if she's in jail, then why the worried face? Our problem is Gideon, not someone in prison," Nina reasoned. "You don't understand!" Richard shouted. "The only one who could fill us in with information about this Gideon guy may not even open up. This is so messed up!" Nina nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Okay, if you put her in jail, then she won't get to tell us anything because of what you did to her," she said, addressing Emma. Emma nodded in...

After Richard's confrontation with Gloria, he made his way back to the car where Nina and Emma were waiting. Nina inquired eagerly, "How did it go?" Richard sighed, "Well, she advised me to run away. According to her, Gideon is incredibly dangerous." Emma, engrossed in her phone, suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God!" Both Nina and Richard turned to Emma, their curiosity piqued. "What's going on?" they asked simultaneously. Emma showed Richard an article on her phone with the headline "Potential Couple: Linda Jim of Prime Tech and Franklin of Marion Private Hospitals Spotted at Three Different Places – Likely to be a Date." Despite feeling devastated, Richard maintained his composure. "It's just a rumor," he assured them. Nina pressed on, "Well, we need to act fast. What's our next move?" Emma interjected, "There's a party today at 5 hosted by Prime Tech and Marion Private Hospital," as she re...

In the hospital room, Richard lay in a bed adjacent to Cynthia, who remained conscious after the blood transfusion. As he dozed off, Emmanuel quietly approached and gently woke him. "Hey, Richard," Emma whispered, "I brought you some fruits. The doctor mentioned you should eat as much as possible for a speedy recovery." As Richard opened his eyes, Emma assisted him in sitting up properly on the bed. Richard began eating the fruits, expressing his reluctance. "I feel strong; I don't think it's necessary to eat fruits," Richard remarked. "Stop acting tough, bro. You're not okay," Emma replied, concern evident in his voice. As Richard attempted to stand up, he voiced his frustration, "Why sit here? Gideon is planning his next move. We can't just stay here and do nothing." However, Emma firmly held him down, emphasizing the importance of rest and recovery. "You're right. This Gideon guy might be planning another mov...
