"Our chauffeur might have made a mistake. I agree but you had every chance to tell him he was mistaken so I do not believe at all this meeting wasn't planned, mister!" Lincoln's voice was fierce."Since you said you only just arrived in the country, you may not know but we have the power to make you rot here and never return to your people until you tell us who you are and what your purpose is.""Lincoln—""Marie!" The old man tapped his walking stick on the table. "Leave this room this instant. This conversation isn't suitable for you.""But," Marie looked at Levi. She didn't know why but she felt that although this man had done something bad by impersonating her son, she saw the good in him there.If only he was indeed her Leo, how wonderful would that be. Then she wouldn't have to constantly worry over a prodigal son somewhere."Mum," Leo wasn't pleased at the look of hesitation in his mother's eyes. He glared at Levi. What has this man done to his mother?"Marie, I won't be repeat
Guards trooped out to receive Levi and his luggage while stealthily observing their new young master. They had all been astounded by the news that their young missus had gotten married.She hardly comes to this country except for business purposes but she was here a few months ago and was still very much single then.So her getting married came as a surprise. However, this young man they were seeing, asides being a bit charming than the British men they were used to here, they couldn't really see anything peculiar about him.Levi wasn't aware of their thoughts as he gazed at the mini but spectacular villa which was quite a beauty. The garden was blooming in the moonlight with beautiful flowers."They also have properties here?" He mused to himself as a housekeeper led him in.The Hernandezes also owned a property here? He really couldn't help but marvel at their wealth."Sir, the master bedroom is over there. The young missus awaits your arrival," The housekeeper pointed to a room at

The high ceilings, marble floors and opulent chandeliers added to the dazzling beauty of W.Bruford jewelry store.It was the largest store in the capital city and the most popular one amongst the high class. Display cases glittering with exquisite jewelry were arranged in an orderly manner. The entire place smelt of expensive perfume and luxury.A soft, classical music was playing in the background and there was also a group of attentive sales people going up and down attending to people.Despite this, no one looked in Levi's direction when he walked in. Probably because of how casually he was dressed.Other customers there were dressed so sophisticatedly to the peak so although it was unreasonable to think this way, it was understandable."Excuse me," Levi had to walk up to one of the saleswomen himself. "Where is the ring section located?"Instead of responding, the woman quickly gave his physical appearance a prudish, scrutinizing gaze.Looking up and seeing the little frown on his
"Initials are something that can be forged despite their difficulty. Receipts are substantial proof. Where is yours?" Levi asked her coldly again."Just show them the receipt and end all these. You'll even get a refund," Someone yelled out from the little crowd behind.The woman was already fidgeting. How could she show a receipt when there wasn't one? She was already looking around as if searching for someone.Levi picked up every little action and was convinced of foul play.But just then, a saleswoman walked out. "Sir, we'll handle this from here. This woman will be taken to the manager's office."She tried to collect the remaining pieces of necklace in his hand which he held unto.With a cold, piercing gaze that was like he could see through her, he spat out, "Where were you when she was assaulting your colleague?"The saleswoman didn't expect him to be so blunt in front of so many people and hesitated to respond."Let her present her receipt and you can take her to your manager's
[Payment Declined!][This transaction cannot be processed]Just like Oliver predicted, he turned to Levi and laughed in his face. "Bwah ha ha ha!!!"The salesgirl: "...""Sir, this has never happened in our store before and I have confirmed the Internet connection is working so there must be a problem with your card," the cashier spoke politely as she returned the card to Levi who accepted it with an expressionless face."Why do you even bother Ava? Losing your face like this is quite embarrassing," The saleswoman from earlier led the customers she had assisted to the counter just then.Ding!The desktop vibrated and the cashier smiled as she returned the card to the other customers."Thank you for shopping with us."The saleswoman found this an opportunity to give Ava a stink eye mocking her."What are you still doing here? If you have the littlest of dignity, you would scurry out of here and head to pawn stores. You will find jewelry you can afford there," Oliver snapped sarcasticall
[You've been away from MercCentral for so long. So many missions have been popping up. Don't you want to level up your ranks?]Levi flexed his arms as he adjusted the headphone on his head. He had just completed some cyber missions on the Dark Web and was going to log offline when Valkyrie came online.He withdrew the money he had earned from the Dark Web and clicked on the chat box just as she sent another message.[Woah! I see you've moved up the ranks here. You entered the top thirty on the leaderboard. How many days did this take?][Just today]Levi responded to her message and tagged the first one before sending another response also.[I'm out of town so I can't accept any missions for now][Wait dude, you mean you leveled up within a few hours. Are you kidding me? Tell me, are you a bot secretly?]Valkyrie was too excited about his first message to respond to the second.Levi chuckled and glanced at the mini clock on the table. His brows furrowed slightly while wondering why Bro
Levi got out of the car and looked up at the spectacular view of the magnificent skyscraper in front of him."Sir, I'll wait for you at the garage," The chauffeur called out for his attention and he nodded."I'll be right back.""Should I have warned him? The young missus won't blame me right," The chauffeur fidgeted slightly, watching Levi disappear into the building.It wasn't hard for Levi to find the hall where the banquet was taking place but the hardest part was him getting past the security."Sir, we do not allow unauthorized people in. Entry is granted strictly based on invitations," Although the guards told him this, they were looking at him weirdly.Just as he was about to say another thing, he heard one of the guards."Isn't it weird? Doesn't he look like one of the Lloyd's?"His voice wasn't audible but Levi heard him loud and clear. His brows knitted in contemplation.Lloyd's? Is it his own family name?But before he has the opportunity to dwell further on this thought, a
