He posed the question out of sheer curiosity, eager to understand the conditions he needed to meet.Nolan let out a chuckle before responding, his tone light. “Just kneel and ask for forgiveness. I'll depart if you comply.”The security guard regarded Nolan with a mixture of incredulity and concern. “Are you feeling alright?” he asked, his gaze searching for any signs of instability.Nolan shrugged, his posture defensive. “I'm perfectly fine,” he muttered dismissively.“I'm not so sure about that. Why else would you be in your right mind and demand that I kneel before you?” The security guard's disbelief was palpable as he voiced his skepticism. “If this is some sort of jest, I implore you to cease immediately!”Nolan observed the security guard's solemn and skeptical expression with amusement, a smirk playing on his lips.“Why would I joke about something like this? You're hardly worth the effort,” he retorted, his tone becoming more serious. “When I told you to kneel, I meant it.”T
As he watched them approach him, his heart tightened.When they fully approached them, he could see their stern and more professional expression. The security was merely an hired gate keeper, not a professional trained security, so he was immediately suppressed by their aura.Confusion ecthed on his face, as he mumbled inwardly. “Why did they stop right in front of me?” His mind was filled with thought, as to what they had approached him for, and why they were gazing at him sternly. He could recall ever messing with any of them, so perplexity filled his mind.Meanwhile, Nolan on the other hand was just as stunned as the security man, but that was for a short while. He quickly grasp the situation, and returned to a calm look.“Excuse me. What's wrong?” The security had already regained his senses, so he inquired.The bodyguards lower their heads and stared at the security, but not a single word came out from their mouth.Just when the security was about questioning then once more, a
“You're the one he was referring to as a young master?” He inquired while stuttering.While questioning, his gaze unconscious fell on Nolan's appearance. He couldn't see anything worth connecting with the young master entitlement.However, seconds into his inspection, his eyes suddenly widened. “Gasp!” He darted his eyes continuously, with his eyes fixed on Nolan's suit.“Why haven't I noticed this before?” He smacked his forehead, in self blame.From the beginning, he had been so occupied with Nolan not having an invite card, that he failed to understand Nolan's true identity.“Are you done staring?” Nolan's loud yet taunting voice sounded.“You…!” The security didn't mind Nolan's taunting words. He was mostly concerned about his identity.Cold sweat dropped off his face, as his thoughts wandered far.The security turned to the frost looking Elijah. He wanted to say something, but his words hung in his throat, after being confronted with a cold glare.“You must be really having a de
Nolan raised an eyebrow curiously before speaking, his tone carrying a hint of intrigue. "And what, pray tell, is it that you wish to discuss with me?"He was intrigued to see how the security personnel intended to go about seeking forgiveness from him.The security guard's initially frustrated mindset began to ease slightly upon hearing Nolan's words. "Perhaps there's still hope," he murmured to himself, his inner enthusiasm sparked by the possibility.He had anticipated Nolan's scorn and expected him to refuse to listen, but Nolan's composed demeanor suggested there might be a slim chance for redemption.However, little did the security guard realize that he had misinterpreted Nolan's calm demeanor for something else entirely.Elijah observed the exchange quietly, reluctant to believe that Nolan would show leniency toward the security guard despite his disrespectful behavior.Although he hadn't been fully informed of the situation by Nolan's text message, Elijah might have been incl
Nolan never looked back for once, he stride towards the hotel entrance and entered. Walking towards the receptionist, he spoke, cooly. “Where is the party going on?” He had glanced around and couldn't see anything that looks like party event.The female receptionist whose head was on a file, raised her head up to gaze at Nolan. She briefly inspect him, before respectfully responding. “Goodday sir, the party is going on at the other side of the hotel. It's at the event hall.”Nolan noticed her professionalism, and couldn't help but smile. She wasn't rude like the security, perhaps it was because of she thought, that for him to have pass the security check point means he'd an invite card.“Uh, I don't really know where the so called hall is.” Nolan spoke out.From the receptionist description, he couldn't get the exact direction of the hall, after all, it was his first time here.“Oh.” The receptionist have an apologetic smile. “Mm, hold on.” Her eyes darted around, and it fell on so
As everyone cast disgusted glances at his stained appearance, he lifted his head to meet their eyes."Why did you do that?" He inquired calmly, though his anger simmered beneath the surface.The person who had caused the red wine to spill on him was dressed in a standard white and black uniform, typically worn by the waitstaff. Nolan immediately recognized them as an employee.The waiter stuttered nervously, realizing the gravity of the situation. He could only recall passing by with a tray of wine when someone bumped into him, causing his hands to slip and the wine to spill.Struggling to regain his composure, the waiter managed to speak. "Sir… I-I didn't do it on purpose. Someone bumped into me, causing my hand to slip and the wine to spill onto you.”He quickly gave out a hurried explanation. His face was etched with anxiety, afterall he was nothing but a nobody waiter here, and such an incident can result in him losing his job.Nolan glances at his already teary eyes, making his h
After some moments of being stunned, Mr Williams had already regained his senses. He coughed slightly, not wanting to show his embarrassed look to the crowd.When he faced Nolan and saw his calm and indifference expression, he retorted. “You idiot! What audacity do you have to slap me?! In fact, for what reason does your hand have to hit my face in the first place?” He felt utterly wronged from his voice. How could he be hit by someone he'd looked down upon.Nolan simply snorted, before indifferently saying. “You should be thankful that I only hit you, otherwise you would surely regret ever messing with me!”Truly, what Nolan had said was right. Others might call his words as nothing but bluffing, but only he knows that he wasn't bluffing but rather serious. He has the ability to make this so- called Mr Williams life miserable so what's there to bluff about?!Just as he had expected, the crowd instantly broke out into other whispers after hearing Nolans words. “I really need to kno
Nolan felt he'd heard a silly joke. He glanced at Mr Williams, as he spoke. “Repercussions? And what could my offense be?”Mr Williams didn't expect Nolan to still show arrogance, even with the impending consequences he just called out. “Fellow, do you think I'm joking or what?” He seriously doesn't understand what to call Nolan behavior. Even if he didn't intend to ask, provocation made him unable to restrain his curiosity.Nolan indifferently glanced at him. “Did I state you were joking? I know you're not joking but that doesn't mean that I don't see your words as nothing but a joke to me.” He smugly said.“You bastard!” Mr Williams bellowed. “You'll be punished for slapping me. I really want to see if you have guts after being punished!” He yelled, obviously looking furious.Nolan remained calm. It felt as though he wasn't being spoken to. Mr Williams was further infuriated by Nolan indifference and calm expression. “Does he think I'm invisible?!”Without wanting to waste his tim
