............"It's great, Sister. We were worried sick about you when we found you unconscious," Arjun spoke in a relieved tone, his voice filled with concern and affection, which Maya found a little surprising. The lines of worry on his forehead softened as he spoke, showing the depth of his care for Maya."Big Sis, I am also here!" Aryan spoke up, showing that he was also present in the room, feeling ignored."Ahh, yes, Little brother, it's good to see you too," Maya replied in a flat tone, still feeling a bit upset with him for his previous rude behavior."What's with that reaction?" Aryan felt wronged for some reason, sensing he was being given the cold shoulder. His shoulders slumped slightly, hurt evident in his voice as he sought to understand Maya's response."Hahaha!" Arjun and Allen burst out laughing at his expression. Their laughter echoed in the room, breaking the tension and bringing a sense of lightness to the atmosphere."Grandpa...!" Aryan felt embarrassed, thinki
............"Aurora Imperium"That's the name that came to his mind when Aarav's vision stopped on the car.He observed the car closely, trying to remember the details about it.He had only seen this car on TV screens or from a faraway distance in showrooms, as he was never allowed near one before.This vehicle screamed luxury, innovation, and unparalleled elegance.Imagine a car fit for royalty, crafted with the finest materials and cutting-edge technology.The Aurora Majesty, as it was called, stood before him, gleaming under the sunlight with its lustrous pearl finish and shimmering gold accents.Just seeing and touching it made Aarav feel like he had no right to drive such a car.'No way, I am a God's Heir for goodness sake, and this is the fitting ride for me,' Aarav thought to himself after beating himself up."Umm, sorry to interrupt, but this is Mistress Vasu's car," one of the guards said with a thoughtful expression, noticing Aarav admiring the car."Ahhh, yes. I know, but
............"About that, actually, I have some information related to another Family that might be similar to Lady Starcrest's family," Eirik spoke up upon hearing what Lady Astrid Starcrest wanted from them.He had already obtained information regarding another powerful man from the capital who had recently come into contact with the Blackthorn Family. His voice was filled with a mix of anticipation and excitement as he shared the details."Hmmm, go on!" Astrid Starcrest gestured for him to continue, her expression unreadable yet commanding.Eirik told her about the Blackthorn Family and how a man had come into contact with them. He also informed her that his Valethorne family had picked up news that Blackthorn men were searching for something in Verdiara."Good... good, this is great information. Keep me updated on that man and the activities of the Blackthorn Family," Astrid said, her eyes gleaming with newfound insight as she pieced together the puzzle in her mind.She nodded at
............"Who the hell attacked her? They were really merciless for not even leaving her any body part missing," Aarav muttered to himself as he checked Astrid for injuries. He also tried to assess any fatal injuries with his Divine Energy, but it reacted unexpectedly to something within her, surprising him.[Name: Astrid Starcrest[Race: Human[Health: Unconscious, Exhausted, Tired, Injured with multiple wounds.[Condition: Slice marks all over the body, causing significant blood loss and rendering her unconscious.]Aarav read her name and realized she was from the Starcrest Family, the same family that was after him."Let's just treat her for now, and I'll figure out what to do with her later," Aarav muttered, deciding to focus on her treatment.He called for assistance from a nurse on night duty, hesitant to handle Astrid's injuries alone.With the nurse's help, Astrid's torn clothes were removed and her injuries cleaned. Aarav handed the nurse herbal medicine to apply to he
............He couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling and fury seeing Darius with his wife, Elara Rossi."I need to see what that bastard's up to," Aarav thought out loud before making a beeline towards the café.In his hurry, he forgot to take a look at the name of the café; otherwise, he wouldn't have recklessly entered. "One coffee, please," Aarav said to the receptionist and sat down right behind where Elara and Darius were seated."Thank you, Young Master Blackthorn, for your generosity. I will surely give you my reply in the given time," Elara said with the same stoic expression, though her tone hinted at politeness."Hahaha! No problem, Ms. Elara. Before you leave, please enjoy your Golden Brew. It would be a waste to throw away such a precious coffee," Darius laughed, feeling pleased that he had Elara cornered and confident that she had no choice but to accept his offer.He gestured to Elara, who was ab
............'What should I do? I don't think I would make such a mistake, and I don't have a penny in my pocket, much less 10,000 Celestial Crowns,' he thought to himself, frowning as he faced the gloating Darius and the watchful waiters."Hmmm," Aarav's hand instinctively reached into his pocket, and to his surprise, he felt something. Retrieving it, he discovered a premium-looking black card— a gift from Neha Vasudeva."What's going on here?" A waiter peered at the card, feeling a sense of familiarity."Hey, are you trying to fool us with this useless card?" Another waiter grew impatient, interpreting Aarav's silence and unfamiliar card as mockery."I told you, this guy's just a beggar! Get security and kick him out!" Darius smirked, confident that Aarav had nothing substantial to prove himself."Security! Security!" The waiter called out, and two guards rushed in, clad in their uniforms."What's going on? What's all this fuss about?" The security guards inquired, scanning the sc
............But the next words shattered Darius's satisfaction and left him questioning Mr. Goldblend's sanity."But I recognize the Supreme Card you're holding in your hands. May I have a closer look?" Maximilian spoke again, his tone laced with curiosity, which only added to Aarav's confusion.Nonetheless, Aarav extended his hand and gave the card to him, watching as Maximilian examined it with keen interest.Aarav still had no clue about the card's worth or its purpose. Yet, he sensed its significance, especially from Neha Vasudeva's demeanor when she gifted it to him."Yes, I am not mistaken. This is the only Supreme Card issued by The Verdiara Central Bank, and it was in the hands of the Vasu Family Head until recently. May I inquire how you received this card?" Maximilian Goldblend's hand seemed to weigh heavier as he held the card, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and respect for Aarav."Hey... did Mr. Goldblend just say what I think he did?" A customer's voice broke the sile
............"Hmmn, earlier you asked how I got that Supreme Card, didn't you?" Aarav's voice was casual, yet there was a hint of intrigue in his tone as he revisited the previous topic."Yes, I am truly curious. The Supreme Card isn't an ordinary card. It's only available to top families or a family that dominates a city. With this card, the bank can provide trillions of Celestial Crowns in loans with an average interest rate of 3 percent!" Maximilian's voice held a touch of reverence as he spoke about the card's significance, his eyes reflecting a mixture of awe and longing.'My goodness, what a gift... she gave me. This is really ridiculous. I think it's too much for her to gift me this. I mean, don't they need this more than me!' Aarav's mind buzzed with thoughts as he contemplated the weight of the Supreme Card and how he could possibly return such a generous gesture to Mrs. Vasu.After a moment of deep thought, he pushed the idea aside for the time being, noticing Maximilian p
