[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
"It's you!"The embarrassment of being left on his knees disappeared quickly as Oliver sprang up, slamming the jewelry box on the table.He remembered Levi clearly. The man who had robbed off the particular set of rings he had wanted to purchase.The mysterious man with the mysterious black card. How could he be robbed of those rings and his girl too? This is simply unacceptable!"Yes, it is me," Levi answered him coldly. He pulled off his coat and wrapped it around Brooklyn which made her flush crazily."It's so cold here compared to San Jose but you still wear so little... Did you deliberately dress up for someone?"Brooklyn could sense danger from his eyes so she quickly shook her head."Of course not. The only man I'll dress up for is my husband."Gasps from the crowd came again. Someone even said,"Husband... Wife... What's going on? Is Brooklyn married?""I guess the ex-fiancée you mentioned earlier was Brooklyn," Levi turned his attention to Oliver who was already beyond humili
Brooklyn's face was red with shame as the car pulled up at her residence. Her swollen lips added to the sensual view.Click!Levi got out and held out a hand for her, clearly pleased with his hand work but she snorted at him, too angry to chastise him.She simply turned to the other door and got out, rushing into the house as if afraid to allow the chauffeur see her current physical state."Welcome home young missus," The housekeeper seemed delighted to see her and greeted heartily.But her eyes went round like saucers when she saw her young missus' unusual disheveled appearance.Brooklyn's ears flamed and she rushed up the stairs. Levi wasn't too far behind. The housekeeper stifled a smile at this scene."Hey, wait up," Levi tried to catch up with her but she was one step faster and burst into the room.She finally came to a stop when she was enveloped by darkness. "Huh, why is the light off? Did the circuit blow off?"Her fingers moved on the wall to find the light switch and she al
Levi's eyes flew open with a start. His jaws tightened and he slowly removed his arm from Brooklyn's body, careful not to wake her up.[Some people were researching my father? How is he now?]Response came very quickly showing James was still awake.[Young man, I intensified the security around him so he is safe. As for those people, we haven't managed to find them but we are working on it]Levi was confused. He sat against the headboard and thought who it could be researching about his father.He didn't really remember much about his father's family so could it be someone from there? Why did they choose to only do their findings about his father now?Ding!His phone vibrated again and Brooklyn groaned again in complaint. She threw her hands around his waist and drew closer.Levi picked up his phone to check the notifications.He saw messages from the stock webpage, Dark Web and Twitter but just as he wanted to open one of the notifications—Ding!This time, it wasn't his phone. It wa
[Webpage Loading]Levi sipped his wine slowly as he twirled in the swiveling chair waiting for the desktop to load the Dark Web. It was almost a few minutes to the time stated for the tournament.He glanced at the balcony for a minute. Brooklyn was on the phone, her iPad and a stylus pen on the other hand as she jotted some things down. She looked serious but that wasn't what attracted his attention.It was the loose fitting shorts and matching top she was wearing which clung to her curves and accentuated the fact that there were no underwears underneath.His eyes darted to the bed which now had a new bedspread as the previous one had been stained."Great, she'll be the cherry on top of the icing," His eyes curved mischievously.If he wins this tournament, he'll be more than happy to have Brooklyn as his celebratory reward.Ding![You're finally here. Look, I entered our team into the contest]Valkyrie sent a screenshot and Levi almost facepalmed when he saw the name she had chosen fo
[Attention please, everyone. We can see there is a bit of an argument going on in the community chat box. If care is not taken, we might just decide to lock the chat box][There are guests all over the world watching us. It speak well of us to begin a conflict when the challenge has barely begun]The host's words disrupted the fight that was ongoing in the chat box.Levi directly exited the chat box and focused on the challenge.[I told you not to reply to them, didn't I? Don't diminish our reputation especially in front of people like DarkCipher]- Valkyrie added a tearful emoji to the message she sent to the group chat.Others raised a brow and Chubby sent a message.[Valkyrie, do you perhaps have a crush on Dark Cipher?]Levi's eyes curved mischievously and he waited for her response. He was already beginning to suspect this and Chubby only helped in voicing out his support.[What are you talking about? He's just my idol... Haha]One could feel the nervousness from her message and L
