Chapter 60: Like Nothing Happened
“AUGUST…” Samantha muttered as her gaze traveled onto his fists.
Her mouth formed into an O. She wanted to explain— remembering the times when August repeatedly asked her about the bruises— but she couldn’t force herself to do it.
Samantha didn’t know what to say, and she couldn’t understand what she felt as she saw August in front of her. It felt like she could now sigh in relief— like a person who will always take her side already arrived.
However, she was the one who placed him in danger… and will continuously do it for her greed.
On the other hand, August could only look at her with annoyance.
“Hey,” Bruce

“DID HE lose his mind already? Or… did you beat him up too much?” Harvey asked Bruce as he stared intently at August who acted like he wasn’t beaten up by them earlier. He found it odd that although August acted like he was in deep pain earlier, but now, he could even walk properly without holding his stomach. Harvey’s face went into a grimace— feeling irritated and confused at the same time. “Maybe it is.” Bruce shrugged, ignoring August as he didn’t care about him anymore. “Maybe my hard punches have shaken up his brain. It will be good if that’s the case.” Bruce was already satisfied that he made August his punching bag. Whatever he would do next would not concern Bruce anymore. “Forget about him, man,”

INSIDE THE Rosehouse, where everything turned upside down for August, a grand gathering was held.August was on the second floor of the place, hiding in one of the rooms there, as he watched all people with their expensive gowns and luxuries while obviously hating each other with their pretentious smiles and gestures.“Hah.” August couldn’t help but smile.It felt like he was back in the previous time. The only difference is that he wasn’t on the stage anymore, but somewhere in hiding. On top of that, he wasn’t as pathetic as before.“Saw something interesting?” Sapphire, who was fixing her silver dress with a slit on her right thigh, asked.She

AFTER HER conversation with Mona, Daphne went to the restroom to calm herself down. She washed her hands, fixed her make-up, and breathed heavily as she stared at the mirror, forcing a smile.“She had the guts to call me a bitch? Hah.” Daphne snorted as she fixed her pouch and placed some strands of her hair to the back of her ears.If there’s something she realized at this party, it’s the fact that most people will annoy her, if not all.On top of that, some people would really have the guts to ask for someone’s help and make it look like it’s an opportunity to help them, even if it isn’t.Daphne made one last heavy breath as she was about to go outside the restroom to find someone, but stopped when her ph
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 64: The Man on The Second Floor
A FEW SECONDS had passed, and yet, Francis didn’t even avert his gaze somewhere. Clicking his tongue and tilting his head, he continued staring at the man on the second floor, who also did the same.They couldn’t see each other properly because they were far away from each other. Still, both of them could feel the tension running in their veins.‘How brave,’ said Francis at the back of his mind, smirking. ‘I wonder why he is hiding.’Francis narrowed his eyes, wondering who the man would be. His smirk widened as decided to climb onto the second floor and go onto that specific room where the guy was.“Sir—”“I’ll climb alone,” interrupted Francis as one of his

“AUG—”“Shh.”Daphne was about to call August, but the latter suddenly interrupted her by placing his index finger on her lips. He shook his head and turned his direction on his surroundings— like he was telling her how many people were in the venue, and how chaotic it would be if someone notices that he was here.August smiled genuinely as he stared at Daphne, and it looked like she hadn't still absorbed the information that he was in front of her. He understood why.“Shall we?” asked August as he removed his index finger, and extended his arms in front of Daphne, showing his palms. “May I have a short dance with you?”He only said a short dance since he needed to go back to his room as soon as possible.“Sure…”Daphne, although she was still confused, nodded as she held August’s hand. August helped her stand up as he placed both her hands on his chest and his hands on Daphne’s waist afterward.Silence filled their conversation as they started swaying. August wanted to have a casual

‘OH. MY. GOSH.’ The shock would be an understatement to describe Samantha’s feelings right now. Her heart was about to burst up, staring at Francis like it was her first time seeing a man like him up close. “G-Good evening,” Bruce, who was known by everyone as arrogant and authoritative, stammered as he was the one who took Francis’ hand as they shook hands with each other. Francis chuckled a little as he wiped his palm on his expensive pants casually— without any intentions of hiding it so Bruce wouldn’t be offended at all. Bruce and Samantha noticed that, and instead of being insulted, they felt honored for Francis that he wiped his palm on his pants, instead of using a handkerchief. “I’m sorry. I’m just not used to… shaking hands, you know? I always have my people deal with negotiations, especially if it requires skinship,” Francis apologized, but his voice didn’t sound apologetic at all. “It’s fine! It’s fine!” Bruce exclaimed twice, waving his hands. “My hands were also swea

“W-WHAT IS that?”“It’s Bruce Sandoval, isn’t it?”“And it’s… Who’s the man beside him?”As everyone thought that it might be an inside attack that would threaten everyone’s life, all of them were shocked as a video played on the projector.Because of the silence at the place, the sounds were heard, loud and clear, and all people at the party were able to watch it.“I thought you were strong. That’s the impression you gave me… But you’re stupid.”“This… should be enough for you to know who owns Samantha at this time.”It was a chaotic, messy type of video. The camera shot consistently shook, and Bruce knew that it was because of how they gave August alternative punches that night, although he knew that he gave August more punches than Harvey.However, despite the awkward angles and unnecessary moves, the camera quality, and even the sound are great. It cannot be denied that he and Harvey are in that video.No matter how hard he would try to deny that it isn’t him, no one would believe
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 68: The Taste of Revenge
A MAN WEARING a white suit and a red ribbon tie— a sign that he’s one of the managers at the Rosehouse— appeared in front of Bruce. He had a neutral look on his face, but his eyes had a judging look at it.Samantha sighed in relief as Bruce suddenly went back to his senses, and placed his hand on his lover’s cheeks, caressing it like it was really his plan from the start.She flinched because of the sudden contact, but Bruce glared at him for a second, immediately making her go back to her senses.“Why?! The Sandoval family took part in this! Why would I need to leave?!” Bruce blurted out as his gaze went back to the man, grimacing in dismay.He couldn’t accept the fac
