Amanda's eyes darkened as Sera held her back. “But mother… he assaulted you. I want to see him kneel before you, begging you in tears as he leaks your shoes!” Amanda shot back. She forced her hands into Luther's who just stood there, glaring at them all. "The most urgent thing right now is to finalize your marriage with Luther," Sera said, her voice laced with a sense of urgency. "We need to make that stupid Devin give up. If he sees you're out of reach, he'll reconsider creating such a scene next time." "Devin even even rented a car at great cost when he came today. A Porsche. The bastard is just bitter…” Jim snickered. “We can't let him succeed. He just wants to mess up your wedding!" Jim sneered and tried to laugh, but the pain made him stop. “Now that I think about it, you're right. Perhaps he just wants attention to see if I'll reconsider him. Ha! He's even more delusional than I thought!” Amanda said and burst out laughing. Sera joined her. “I don't think I should be here for this kind of talk,” Luther suddenly stated and Amanda turned to him. He pretended his face was flushed with embarrassment as he chided them for discussing such things in front of him. "You're too shy, Luther. I'm lucky to have found such an excellent man." Amanda, however, seized the opportunity to tease him. Aww…” Sera purred while Amanda forced her lips on Luther. But Luther was disgusted by them all. He just forced a smile to keep up appearances. "My friends are all envious that I get to be Luther's brother-in-law. A big shot like him as my brother-in-law will change my life forever!” “You're one lucky woman, Amanda. This family is lucky to have Luther!" Jim added. Luther's smile hid his true thoughts. He knew Amanda's background was questionable, that she was shallow and vulgar, with nothing but a pretty face and ass to her. But he had been married for many years without an heir, and now Amanda was pregnant with his child. He had to ensure his child's legitimacy, no matter the cost. Just wait two years, let Amanda deliver the baby smoothly, and he'll throw this woman and her greedy family away like garbage! Luther sneered as the thought danced through his mind “What are you thinking about babe?” Amanda suddenly asked him but Luther smiled. “New ways to make you happy, my love,” he replied and she purred. "The location for the wedding has already been decided," Luther said, his voice smooth as silk. "It will be held at the Le Grande Auditorium in the ultra-exclusive villa area." Amanda's eyes widened in shock, her face alight with excitement. "That's the best auditorium in the city, maybe even the whole country!" she breathed. “Only the richest folks get to visit that villa. And one would need a special invite to drop by. Will my daughter get married there? This is a fairytale!” Sera exclaimed with excitement. "I never thought I'd be able to get married there. The last wedding was five years ago, and it was the president's precious daughter. I will be the center of attention for a whole month if this happens!” Amanda cried with excitement. “Thank you, babe. I love you so much!” She hugged Luther and kissed him deeply. “Anything for you, my love,” he replied to her. “How did you manage to get a reservation at the auditorium?” Amanda asked, genuinely curious. “I paid twenty million dollars!” He replied. Sera and Jim exchanged proud glances, their faces reflecting their satisfaction. "Luther, you're amazing. I never doubted that you are the one for my daughter," Sera said. Her mind roamed again to Devin but she quickly discarded the thought. “Fucking jinx!” She cursed under her breath. Luther smiled. He wrapped his arms around Amanda's waist. "At the wedding, all the big shots in the villa area will send their blessings…” Suddenly, Luther frowned. “... And it's said that a very prominent heir has moved into the Number 1 mansion in the villa area..." He said. “Do you know who it is?” Amanda asked him. “No. But to move into the Number 1 villa, you have to be filthy rich. I would like to meet him during the wedding. We can discuss business ideas,” Luther stated. At the mention of such wealth and status, Amanda's heart jumped with greed. There and then, the insatiable parasite within her picked a new interest. “I wonder who he is…” she muttered. “Just two years, and I'll dump you the gutters where you belong. Worthless cum dump!” Luther cursed in his heart. But outside, he wore a wide smile, holding Amanda closer than ever, so that she wouldn't suspect a thing. Amanda smiled too. But her mind was already fixated on the latest landlord in the city. “I have to meet him, no matter what it takes!” She thought.

As Devin's Porsche caroused into the underground garage of the Le Grande villa, several guests trooped into the large, square-shaped auditorium mounted just beside the mansion. It was Amanda and Luther's wedding, barely three days after she broke up with Devin. “Why won't this damn car start? I have to drive out to get something for my daughter!” Devin heard Sera's voice as he stepped down from the Porsche. Her back was turned to him but he couldn't miss the croaking sound of her voice. “Are you sure you know what the fuck you're doing? Top shot mechanic my ass! If you were so good, this car would be working by now!” She snapped at the gentleman who was fixing the car for her. Devin sighed while he gazed at them. As he didn't want to interfere, he proceeded to walk to his mansion. But Sera turned around, saw him, and scoffed. “ Devin? My God! What the fuck are you doing here? You really have no shame! ” Sera snapped as she approached him, clapping her hands in exaggeration. D

"No way, you still haven't gotten over Amanda? Are you going to go in front of her and cry and beg for forgiveness?" Luther laughed and sized up Devin with a playful look in his eyes. "Actually, it's not impossible for you to see her if you really insist." "Enough!" Devin interrupted him. "I'm not here for her. I'm going home!" Luther burst out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. "You're still being stubborn, aren't you?" "Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you meet Amanda." He ordered the bodyguards to take Devin inside. Devin sighed. "You know what? If I go in, your wedding is going to be ruined for sure." "Really? What, are you going to mooch off the food and starve everyone else to death?" "Take him in!" Luther lost all his patience and commanded the bodyguards viciously to drag Devin in. But when they were met with Devin's cold stare, they somehow didn't dare to lay a hand on him. "You asked for this," Devin sneered, and then strode in

Amanda dragged her wedding dress along as she approached Devin, her face twisted with anger. “Have you come to ruin my big day? Why are you doing this to me?” Amanda cried out. “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Just because I upgraded from your pathetic ass?” She screamed at him. “Seriously? Upgrade to marrying a man old enough to be your dad?” Devin said to her face, and she scoffed. “Who is this man to the bride?” “How do they know each other?” “Shut your fucking mouth! This is the last time you raise your hands on my family!” Amanda screamed at Devin who scoffed. “I never wanted to be here anyways. Have a great wedding,” Devin said with sarcasm, and turned to leave, but Amanda suddenly blocked his path. "Kneel down and apologize! Otherwise, I won't let you walk out of here alive, you son of a bitch!" Amanda yelled at Devin who laughed at her words. “You are digging your own fucking grave!” Devin shot back at her. Amanda flushed with anger. Just as she was about

“Who dares to cause trouble in my territory?” Yvonne Hall's voice boomed as her bodyguards encircled the auditorium, holding their rifles close to their chests. Luther's lips parted in surprise when he saw Yvonne. “Yvonne’s the richest person in New York. Did my lie about us being close just manifest into reality?” he snickered. “If she's here to greet me, I must take advantage of this,” Luther thought to himself. With a smile and egoistic chuckle escaping his lips, Luther took steady steps towards Yvonne, stretching his hands as if to give her a hug. The guests who immediately recognized Yvonne murmured amongst themselves, "I didn't really expect Luther to have such a relationship with Yvonne..." "Yeah! I know right? Luther is simply amazing. He keeps surprising us!" When Sera heard the whispers, she beamed with pride while Luther approached Yvonne. “My daughter's really marrying a capable man!” Sera thought to herself, smiling even wider as Jim snug close to he

"Yvonne, if I've ever make a good impression on you, don't do this to me! You'll humiliate me!" Luther begged Yvonne while Devin just stood on the spot, watching the drama unfold. "I wasn't asking," Yvonne replied to Luther coldly. Luther looked around for support, but the same cold, glaring eyes of the guests were all he found. Gritting his teeth, he fell to his knees before Devin. "I am sorry for everything, Devin--" "Bow! And he's your master!" Yvonne snapped at him as she cut him off. Luther nearly choked at the amused look on Devin's face. He faced the ground and bowed before Devin. "Forgive me, Master," he begged. "Tell him how foolish you've been," Yvonne reinforced, crossing her arms. The guests whispered amongst themselves as Luther humiliated himself even further. "I've been a fool, master. forgive me!" he begged, his voice breaking with shame. "Good. Now, crawl out of this place like an animal!" Yvonne added. Without saying another word, Luther crawled o

The banquet was a grand thing to behold. Devin drove into the event center and walked into the building, not gathering any special attention with the modest suit he was wearing. Devin wanted to encounter the board members first to know what kind of people they were. “Young Master. You're here!” Dreykov called out to him as he approached with a bunch of other bodyguards, but Devin waved his hand to hush them. “Let's keep the formalities under wraps for now. Treat me as a regular guest,” he replied to Dreykov who was honestly confused but nodded. “Yes, Young master- sorry- Devin-” Dreykov quickly corrected himself. Devin gave him a nod and walked inside. The evening's festivities began with a champagne reception, where guests sipped fine wines and beverages while enjoying the melodic strains of a live-string quartet. The music was a perfect accompaniment to the lively chatter and laughter that filled the room. But as soon as Devin stepped into the hall, he heard whispers com

“A common waiter dared to steal from me? You must not like your pathetic life anymore!?” Terrence yelled at Devin again, who just stood looking at him.“Yeah. How dare you, douchebag? Don't you know your fingers can be cut off if you steal from Boss Terrance?” The Foreman suddenly chipped in while he rose to his feet.Devin chuckled.“This loser's obviously playing you for a fool. He's the one who stole your gift, not me,” Devin replied to Terrance and crossed his arms.“He wants to have your favor by all means. It's as clear as day,” Devin added. The Foreman gasped.“Lies! This is defamation. I only took the gift to stop this animal from stealing it. And now you fucking dare to lie against me?”The Foreman rolled up his sleeves.“I'll teach you a fucking lesson!” He snapped at Devin and hurled at him, but Devin grabbed his hands, twisted them, and kicked him to the ground.The Foreman fell on a table and it shattered. With a bleeding nose, he stood up.“That's it! I'm fucking firing

“No… wait… please! I'm begging you!” Terrence fell on his knees before Devin, gripping his trousers. “Have mercy!” He begged again. “You have forfeited your shares due to your insolence!” Elijah said again and then turned to the bodyguards. “Get this clown out of here!” “No! Please! You can't do this to me…” Terrence cried as the bodyguards, the same ones he instructed to beat Devin up, dragged him out ruthlessly. The Foreman thought he was safe and wanted to run, but Elijah pointed to him. “Beat this one up!” He commanded, as before the Foreman could run, bodyguards grabbed him and beat him to the pup. He cried and begged as they dragged him out of the hall. Everyone was silent. They knew Elijah was not to be messed with, but the way Devin composed himself without wincing told them he, too, had a brave heart. “Mr Markus. Thank you for speaking up against such injustice earlier,” Devin said to Markus who smiled. “It was my pleasure to help, young master,” Markus said wi

“Petra Knight. This is a pleasant surprise,” Devin said as he picked up his phone. He just stepped out of the police station to review any case files regarding the egg.“Really? Weren't you at least curious to hear my voice again?” She asked him in a flirtatious voice.“Have you forgotten that we are betrothed?” She asked again and Devin sighed.“I thought we were past that now,” he said and got into his car.“I don't think we will ever be past that, Devin. You've impressed me. And I'm not easily impressed,” she said.“Look, Petra. You are a lovely lady. Beautiful, successful, and simply amazing. But I am in love with someone else. And I don't want to break up with her,” Devin told her but Petra scoffed.“Spend a night with me first and you'll see I'm really worth the shot,” she propositioned. Devin's lips curled into a smile.“I'm not doing that. Why did you really call me, Petra?” He asked her. By that time, his car came to a stop in the traffic. His fingers tapped the steering ligh

The prison door buzzed and Luther walked through to the phone booth. His eyes lit up with intrigue when he saw the visitor he had that afternoon, a person he never thought he'd see.“Well well, who do we have here? Did the wind blow you into this place or something?” He chuckled as he took his seat.Vera smirked, gracefully picking up the telephone. “It is good to see you, husband. They're not treating you as badly as I would have hoped. By now, I expected you to be nothing more than bones and sores,” she said with a bright smile on her face.“Yeah, bitch? Well, lucky for me, I did what I always do. Played my cards right. You know, when you're finally in prison, you might want to try that,” Luther replied to her with a smirk.Vera chuckled, brushing the hair off her face. “This is your space, Luther. Enjoy it. I can never be in there with you,” she told him and leaned back.Luther's smile faded slowly. “So, why the fuck have you come? I didn't see you at my trial. You refused to send

“Ma'am! I didn't see you coming,” the assistant said to Vera who still held her hand in the mid-air, clenching it tight.“Is this how you go about harassing people just because you work for me?” Vera asked her, but the assistant muttered.“No, ma'am. It's not what you think. The fucker started it!” The assistant accused but Vera pushed her hand off.The assistant staggered back and nearly fell. “And now you're still fucking lying to me? How daft do you think I am?” Vera yelled at her.“Apologize to him. Now!” She added.The assistant baited her eye, glancing at Devin.“But ma'am, he should be the one to apologise. He even said hurtful things to me,” the assistant argued but Vera cut her off.“Apologize or you lose your fucking job!” She yelled at the assistant. Terrified of losing her job, the assistant bowed her head before Devin.“I'm sorry for what happened, sir. It will not repeat itself,” she said but Vera frowned.“Apologize on your knees,” she said to the assistant who gasped.

“What is it?” Luther asked her. Lila sighed while she quickly looked for a place to park her car.“Are you interested in making an investment? I promise it'll give back everything you've ever lost!” She said to him.“What sort of investment?” “An egg. Rumour has it the egg has magic. Apparently, there are people in our world called cultivators and the egg can grant them a boost in their powers,” Lila explained.On the other side of the phone, Luther's eyes opened wide while he listened to her explaining.“If it's true, and I can gift this egg to King Viper, then I'll be able to get him to do anything for me in the Future,” he thought to himself.“How much are we talking about?” He asked her.“Well, millions… but that is not even the issue right now. The museum where we stole, well, took it from, they're looking for the egg.”“And they've asked Devin to find it,” she added.Luther frowned when she mentioned Devin's name.

Amanda's blood ran cold when she saw the nasty remarks that the people were making on the video.“She's such a disgusting pig. Nothing would ever make me do this!”“She's super shameless. It's not the first time she's humiliated herself like this.”“Isn't she the shameless bride that got kicked out of her own wedding?”More and more comments followed, and Amanda gave Lila the phone.“I should have them take this down. How dare they!” Lila pouted, and she looked at Amanda with a conceited heart. “I mean, they're saying all these nasty things about you. We have to stop this,” Lila said again. “Don't bother. It won't change anything,” Amanda replied to her and drank from the bottle of gin in her hand. Lila looked pleased to see Amanda so fucked up, but she pretended like she cared.She sat down beside Amanda and gently touched her hair, kissing her.“

“I didn't bring her in here. She came here by herself,” Devin stated while looking at Mr Simon.“Liar! Fucking liar! Even now that he's caught, he's still lying. Just confess your indiscipline and disrespect to Mr Simon. Fall on your knees and ask for forgiveness,” Mr Taylor yelled again.“Why should I when I'm innocent?” Devin asked Mr Taylor and crossed his arms. By that time, Miriam had covered herself with the cloak again, and she was waiting by the sofa.“Devin, did you really bring her here to sleep with her?” Mr Simon asked Devin.“No, I didn't. That's her. You can ask her,” he replied calmly.“He's not even sorry for what he did. Disrespecting a top shot like Mr Simon is an offense that deserves a beating. You should be ashamed of yourself!” Mr Taylor accused further.“How's the nose? Seems it's better now that you're running your mouth!” He said to Mr Taylor who gritted his teeth.And then, Mr Simon turned to Miriam.“I want you to tell me the truth. Did Devin call for your a

“There's no way in fucking hell! Who let you in here?” Mr Taylor yelled at Devin as soon as he stepped into the five-star hotel with lots of beautiful lighting and furniture.Devin had returned to the hotel that night to see Simon and while he admitted the tapestry of the building, Mr Taylor showed up.“I'm fucking talking to you. You can't come in here without an invitation. Did you fucking cheat your way into this hotel?” He yelled again.Devin didn't want to waste any words on him. He was silent while Mr Taylor kept speaking.“I should get the security men to drag your lazy ass out of here. Deceiving people and thieving is a character we do not appreciate in this place!” He added.But Devin, completely unfazed by his threats, walked closer to the receptionist in the lobby.“Hey! Get back here. I'm talking to you, fuckface!” Mr Taylor yelled again. She gave Devin a kind smile while her eyes darted from him to Mr Taylor. Devin could see that he made her uncomfortable.“How may I hel

“He shouldn't have taken the deal. Now he's going to be humiliated,” “Yes! He should have gone to prison with what's left of his integrity,”“What if he has no integrity. He's a shameless thief without abilities, remember? What can he do?”Devin heard the whispers as he approached the convulsing man. He knelt beside him and stretched forth his hand.He could see the red weaves surrounding the man, the way they shone and fluttered.The man was losing the fight.“Devin, you don't have to do this. Just wait for the ambulance to get here,” Lizzy said to him.“He'll be dead by the time they get here. I have to act now,” Devin replied to her. He placed both hands on Simon's body and closed his eyes, allowing his energy to siphon into Simon.At first, nothing happened. Simon kept convulsing. And then, all of a sudden, he let out a cry like a roar and fainted.“D-did you just fucking kill him? Oh my God! What the fuck did you do?” Mr Taylor yelled at Devin as people murmured nervously.Lizzy

“Oh, now the fucker's getting on my nerves!” Mr Taylor said in both anger and bewilderment. Lizzy, determined to this done and over with, imputed the ten million dollars in the computer.“You have guts. I must say. When this is over, and you're drooling in your shame, maybe I'll consider giving you a job as a cleaner in my company, just to help out your miserable, dreamful life,” Mr. Taylor told Devin.Devin didn't want to waste any more words with him. He kept quiet as Lizzy carried out the transaction. Then she called him for his pin and he imputed it.With skepticism, she pressed the ‘done’ button. And she barely even initiated the transaction when she got the notification.'Congratulations! Payment of ten million dollars successfully completed!’Lizzy froze on the spot when she saw the notification. Her eyes darted from the computer screen to Devin, who stood there with his arms crossed.“Ha! The transaction was an epic failure, wasn't it? I knew it! Now this useless brat will be
