As the sun rose at Blackwood Mall, the largest and most luxurious shopping center, the gleaming chrome of a $10 million car glided smoothly into the entrance, announcing its arrival with the quiet hum of luxury.All eyes were drawn to the car because it was a limited edition and the newest model in the entire empire.Sophia Deneuve stepped out, her presence like a melody that quieted the surrounding noise, one of the most stunning figures in Blackwood city.Instantly, all eyes locked onto her.As the passenger door opened, another equally beautiful figure emerged—Victoria Cavendish. Her attire alone signified her belonging to a high-ranking family.Both women attracted attention effortlessly, but when the third person appeared from inside, the crowd was taken aback.Alex in a faded, cheap shirt, simple jeans, and worn shoes stepped out.The crowd quickly dismissed him from their minds and returned their focus to the two beauties.Wherever the two women strolled in the mall, men, espec

Inside the Royal Jewel Co., Victoria stood in shock, two days at Blackwood had rattled her more than a year in the capital had.She gazed at the row of jewelry outside the display, with prices ranging from one million to five million dollars, while the most expensive piece was tagged at $9,999,999.When she overheard Alex ask, ‘Sophia, do you want to take everything here?’Unable to hold her silence, she blurted out, “Alex, you may have saved a royal family, but there are limits of everything. Don't squander recklessly.”Sophia was looking at Alex, wanted to say something, but before she could, Alex has said, “Sophia, I am just a poor man, without anything…”The General Manager, Ivan, twitched a bit listening to that bullshit, but he didn’t dare say anything.Alex continued, “When I see other husbands with the means to buy their lovely wives jewelry, I feel so saddened that I cannot buy you any jewelry to wear.”“With my hardships and risking my life in war, I saved the royal member a

Under the blue sky and wide horizon, where the skyscraper buildings were towering, Alex stood on the penthouse balcony. He gazed down at everything, his hair tousled by the wind.“Let’s start by accusing the Wellington family of having connections with the Drakonia Federation, our enemy country,” Alex said to Lavinia. “How much time do we have to verify the truth?”Lavinia replied, “If they are accused, we can freeze their entire assets for three months for search and investigation, even if they’ve done no wrong.”Alex scoffed, “It’s impossible for a big company to not have even a speck of dirt. If we search thoroughly, we will have plenty of time to uncover their deep-rooted dirt and bury them alive with the dirt.”"Lavinia, inform everyone that the Supreme Leader suspects espionage by the Wellington family. Deploy rapid response military and police units from across Blackwood to freeze all their assets immediately."“Roger, sir.”“Go get all their family members and throw them into

At the high-end country club in Blackwood City, a group of Sophia's and Victoria's college classmates had reserved a section for their reunion event.Initially, it was supposed to be a small gathering reunion for locals from Blackwood and around, but once the news spread through their classmate group’s chat, almost 85% of them decided to attend the impromptu reunion, even if it meant flying for two or three hours to Blackwood."Blackwood City will be the place where economic development will soar," one man declared. "This is the perfect time to invest in it."“Of course,” Added the other, "The Empire will spend hundreds of billions of dollars over the next five years on city development. All the land and real estate prices will skyrocket. If we don't come here to seek business opportunities, where else should we be?""You are right," a woman chimed in, "my parents told me to ask Sophia if we can make connections with Total Construction; they've secured a $500 million contract for this

In the chilly night air, Jack grinned widely, keeping secret from everyone that he had been a fencing champion in high school.Nobody could beat him in fencing; he was sure of it.Now, he had the chance to display his skills in front of Sophia and Victoria, whom he regarded as the most beautiful girls he had ever seen.He quickly made a bet. "No problem, if you want to make a fool of yourself. But I don't need you to bark if you lose, since I already know you're poorer than Ravenna's dog, who even has its own house."Jack turned his gaze to Sophia. "If you lose, just make sure your wife serves me well for one night."Sophia's classmates already disliked Jack due to his bad attitude. Now, after listening to Jack’s nonsense, their emotions rose to a new high.One of them yelled, "You bastard, what do you think of this place?"Another said, "Do you think this is your nightclub where all women can be treated like your Ravenna?""Enough, you're not welcome at this reunion," one declared."
