Feeling that Gerald's explanation was too strange, one of the guests asked, "Gerald, if that's the case, why does Mr. Lechter have to go through all the trouble of putting on a show?"

Another guest retorted, "That's right. Many people know that Mr. Lechter doesn't hesitate to raise a weapon against those who oppose or challenge him. He only needs to point his revolver at Jack's head, and Jack will surely leave without having to bow down, pay respects, let alone offer a dinner together."

"One more thing, if Mr. Lechter really came here to get rid of Jack, why did he bring a beautiful woman instead of a guard? Besides, it's too strange that his class has to handle such trivial matters. There are plenty of guards who can do that for him."

Gerald swallowed before smiling. "My friends, the reason is obvious. Mr. Robert Lechter and I have a good relationship. As much as I respect him, he respects me greatly. What you should know is that despite his cold reputation, he takes customer satisfa

    Robert left the restaurant without bringing his two personal guards. Immediately, the atmosphere inside the place became very different. "Different" here leans more towards tense or eerie. The two guards opened their eyes wide, looking around, observing people with serious and unsmiling faces. Gerald swallowed hard, struggling to find good words to defend himself and refute the bad situation. Everything was too obvious!Robert threw Gerald away like trash and looked up to Jack like a master. It was all done blatantly and mercilessly. Gerald felt he had no pride to defend. Moreover, the presence of the two guards made it impossible for him to brag about Robert Lechter.Although Robert's two guards had already succeeded in making Gerald's breathing become labored, there was something even more frightening, namely the stares of his friends. Everyone was looking disgustedly at him.Gerald had opened his mouth to explain something. Although he knew that whatever he said could not change

    If Gerald was lamenting his bad luck for losing his valuable Gold SharIn Shine Hotel membership card, along with his reputation in front of his college friends, it was not the same for Scott and Luna. They seemed very happy with the luxurious dinner that had just finished. They were convinced that all the dishes served on the table were the most delicious food they had ever tasted in their whole lives. And what was more special was that they were sitting at the same table as Robert Lechter. Not to mention having dinner in the man's private room, they wouldn't even dare to dream of entering the dining room for Platinum or Diamond members.They were pretty sure that all the dishes on the table were the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives.

    Jack looked ahead. There was a woman with a pale face standing in front of the car. The woman spread her arms, deliberately intending to block the car Jack was traveling in.Matthew, who still felt anxious because he almost hit someone, became very upset. He said, "Young Master, wait a moment. I'll take care of that crazy woman."Matthew got out of the car. If there hadn't been Jack in the car, his hand would have slammed the door hard."Hey! Have you lost your mind?! What if my brakes failed and I accidentally hit you? If the road was crowded, another car would have hit my car from behind for stopping suddenly." Matthew spoke very loudly, venting his frustration.Meanwhile, the young woman, who looked terrified, grabbed Matthew's hand. She ignored Matthew's tirade and pleaded instead, "Sir, help me. Help my father. Please, help us. Someone might kill him now."Matthew's facial expression changed. He looked at the woman's hand, which was clasped tightly in his. He was sure that she wa

    Jack grabbed both arms of the man in front of him. Then, he spun around and made the man spin like a windmill. The other criminals who came near were automatically knocked off their feet."My God, is the real Mr. Jack a super hero? How did he do it?" Matthew was very impressed. The reason was, the body of the man lifted by Jack was bigger than the young man's own body.After making the criminals fall down, Jack slammed the man in his grip to the floor.BAM!That was so hard! Matthew had to squint his eyes to imagine the pain of the thug's body that might have broken some bones due to the violent impact.Nonetheless, the man's long grunts did not immediately scare his friends away. They still tried to attack Jack.Meanwhile, Matthew, who was beginning to believe in his master's ability, walked over to the man who owned the cafe. He invited the man to sit together to watch the battle. "He's very good, isn't he?" Matthew was proud of his master."M-Mister..." The café owner opened his e

    Jack cycled leisurely towards King Pizza, taking deep breaths as he reminisced about the previous night's events. Matthew had shared information with him about the boss of the drug dealers, who went by the name of Donald Pasmod. This notorious criminal was no ordinary dealer, but rather a shrewd mobster who consistently eluded the police. Moreover, the drug trade was not only confined to Rhineland, but also encompassed several other cities.'He'll definitely come looking for me.’As Jack was thinking about what he would do if Donald Pasmod came after him, the sound of sirens from a fire truck startled him. Apparently, there was a fire in a modest apartment across the street. Unfortunately, the narrow road conditions made it a little difficult for the officers. As a result, the officer's performance was less than optimal.From where he was now, Jack saw a woman crying in the arms of a man. He heard the woman scream her son's name several times.Jack made a turn. He abandoned his inten

    The people's eyes widened as they saw Jack survive the blaze while carrying a four years old child. Their jaws dropped to the ground in disbelief."My daughter!" The woman who had been crying was both moved and relieved to see that her little daughter had survived without any burns.Jack even kept the child breathing through the smoke with a wet cloth attached to her mouth and nose. Meanwhile, he himself felt a little short of breath without any protection.Jack fell limp after handing the little girl to her mother. Seeing that, the girl's father also sat up and held Jack's shoulders."Are you okay?"Jack didn't answer. He just nodded while closing his eyes and holding up his thumb.The attendant immediately approached Jack to give him oxygen. "You're so cool!" he praised Jack's courage and perseverance. He alone as a firefighter would not have been able to do what Jack did. "You did very well," he added, patting Jack on the shoulder.Meanwhile, the people who had been so dismissive o

    Claire hung up the call with growing misgivings. "I'll call the police if they dare to mess in my room or hurt my Jack!"Not long after, Claire tiptoed to the sound of a knock on the door. "It's me, Jack."Claire stood up to open the door. "You idiot, why are you knocking? I almost fainted from the shock of the knock!"Jack grimaced, showing his rows of white and clean teeth. His boss never locked the door to his office. However, as a polite employee, he felt the need to knock anyway. Claire pulled Jack's hand to enter the room. She told Jack to sit in his chair while she stood beside him. "Check the CCTV in the visitor's area," Claire ordered, making Jack nod and enlarge the screen she was referring to."There they are, sitting at table number 11. Those two look strange, don't they? They've been looking around the shop like they're looking for something. Are they looking for you, Jack?"Jack was still silent. His eyes stared intently at the computer screen, watching the two men dre

    Claire rushed back to her room. She had to run because she felt so depressed."Jack!" Claire immediately closed the door she had just opened. She was still standing behind the door, her chest heaving, her breathing ragged as if she had just run from a ghost.Of course, Claire's sudden arrival took Jack by surprise. He stood up and approached her. "What's wrong?""Jack, we were right. Those two mysterious men were looking for you. They even have a sketch of your face. Oh my God, what should we do now?" Claire held her head. She smiled as an idea came to her mind. "I know. I'll just call the police. Let them come here and protect you."Claire had taken out her cell phone to dial the number of the local police station, but Jack snatched her phone away. "Jack, what are you doing?" asked Claire in a high tone."Claire, I haven't confirmed it yet. Besides, if you report now, there's not enough evidence to accuse them of being criminals. What if we guessed wrong?" He took Claire's hand and

    The moon was perfectly round. From the attic of Greenroad Villa, the wind made the tops of the cypress trees look like they were rubbing against the full moon. There was coffee steaming in two white cups on the wooden table. A burly hand seemed to pick up one of the cups. "It's beautiful," Claire said after her husband took a sip of coffee. She admired the night view of the place. Jack shook his head. "There is something more beautiful than this." Claire said with a beaming face. "Really?" "'Yup." Jack took another sip of his homemade coffee. "Tell me quickly. I want to see it tomorrow." Claire was getting excited. "Why wait until tomorrow?" "So, I can see it now?" "Of course!" Claire clapped her hands happily. "Where can I see it?" She pulled her chair closer to Jack. "Go to the room." Claire who was listening to her husband intently furrowed her brows. However, she still said, "Then?" "When you stand in front of the mirror, look ahead. It really is the most beautiful vie

    People were surprised by Jack's reaction to what Claire had done, and Claire herself was no exception. From the time she knew Jack until they decided to get married, Jack had never yelled at her, except when she made a mistake.'Then, what did I do wrong?' Claire thought to herself as she looked at her husband.Some of the ladies in the guest seats also didn't expect the young master to yell at his wife. They held their chests in shock. In their opinion, what Claire did was right.Those impudent people deserved two or three more slaps. Some of the guests even wanted to join in grabbing their hair.If Claire was shocked, Lady was not. Although Claire's slap made her cheek hurt, she was glad to know that the young master was quick to yell at his wife for being rude. That meant, she still had a chance. Who knew what chance Lady was referring to."Young Master," Matthew said feeling the need to defend Claire. He thought, perhaps his employer had misunderstood. However, before he had a cha

    Undeniably, the aura emanating from Jack made the four women depressed. They seemed to clutch at their own clothes to hide their trembling hands in fear."Lady," Jack called out as the four women fell wordlessly silent.Lady forced herself to smile. "I am, Young Master."Jack laughed to hear Lady, who had often made fun of him as a loser, now addressing him with such a title, and spoken in a gentle tone."You insist on seeing me. Tell me, after this, what do you want?" Jack stuffed both hands into his pockets.To be honest, Jack's changeable reactions, sometimes looking angry, sometimes so friendly, confused Lady. She was well aware that Jack had every right to be angry. And she would accept whatever Jack would do.Lady briefly turned her head to the right and left to see the expressions on her friends' faces. She was sure that the expression on her face now was not much different from theirs; fear, anxiety, mixed with an expression of regret.Then, she suddenly dropped to her knees i

    The guards delayed dragging Sophie and her friends out because they heard authoritative words from a man. It was an utterance they couldn't possibly ignore.That's right, it was Jack himself who had restrained the guards from arresting the female troublemakers. Now, the place seemed to freeze. Everyone watched Jack's calm face as they wondered what would happen next."What's he going to do?" asked Gary as he watched Jack walk to the edge of the stage after asking his wife for a moment. Although Gary was only watching from the television screen, his breath caught in his throat.As someone who had a lot of blame on Jack, Gary was naturally worried about his life. He began to understand the bad things that kept happening to him, although it wasn't as bad as what happened to David, Gary felt frustrated with his life that kept going downhill. Looking at his current situation, it could explain all the bad luck that had befallen him.So, what if his bad luck is still going to continue? What

    That one shout managed to provoke the other guests. Now the place was filled with calls for Young Master Roodenburg to kiss his wife.Both of Claire's cheeks flushed at the sound. She even removed her arms from Jack's neck, turning toward the audience with her head slightly bowed.Jack sighed seeing his wife like that. He brought his face closer to Claire's, making the audience stop their exclamations.Everyone was tense waiting for what the Young Master would do."Don't worry. I won't do it in public," Jack whispered so quietly that only Claire could hear him.She turned to her husband with a bright face. Meanwhile, the audience was still waiting for the young master to do what they expected.In that moment of silence, there was suddenly a shout from the back row of seats."YOUNG MASTER!!!"The people were startled. They looked back, to the source of the voice, to see the appearance of the woman who had so boldly called out to Young Master Roodenburg.Now, they were staring at a woma

    The wedding procession of Young Master Roodenburg and Miss Claire Boutcher has been completed. Now, their friendship had officially become husband and wife with a sacred bond of love. Happiness was evident on the faces of the bride and groom, their families, and the invited guests, except for the four friends sitting in the back seats.Sophie, who had been shedding tears, now hugged Lady to hide her sobs after seeing Jack kiss Claire on the forehead. Sophie still remembered clearly that during the time she and Jack were dating, Jack had never asked for a kiss from her. Whereas when she was David's girlfriend, he asked her for everything, even on their first day of dating.Indeed, Sophie often sees Jack as a loser even when it comes to romance. While she gives David very high marks, and considers him to be a real passionate man.'But look at it now. Jack married Claire in front of the entire Rhineland town with great dignity and charisma, with no drama, no fuss, no promises of this or

    "Hearing his voice, it is clear that Young Master is a kind and humble person. All of us who have the opportunity to attend this event feel very happy and honored. But Young Master instead calls himself the lucky one to be able to greet us. We really are lucky. Even if someone were to buy a wedding invitation from Young Master at a fantastic price, I would confidently refuse it. This is truly the most precious moment of heartbreak." Grace smiled widely with both feelings of happiness and sadness. Her eyes were fixed on the large screen on the right side of the stage. The screen displayed the figure of the masked man who had captured the attention of everyone in Rhineland.Two large screens had been set up beside the stage to help the backseat audience get a clear view of the proceedings. What was shown on the screens was what was seen on the television screens as well.Grace and her entourage were a little disappointed that they were seated at the very back, but they were quite self-a

    "If this was the old David, I would believe it. But David, now you even only live in this cramped boarding house. There's no way you can meet a woman from the upper class." Gary picked up a potato chip and chewed it casually. There was no longer any worry or fear of offending David. David's arrogance had faded since he fell into poverty. "Maybe David saw her when he was finance manager at Big Roodgroup." Gary said. However, David remained unmoved. He didn't take his eyes off the television. The frown on his forehead grew. "David." Even Gary's soft call startled David. Shaking his head, David said, "There's no mistaking it, she's that woman." Ryan asked, "What are you talking about?" "I'm pretty sure, she, Young Master Roodenburg's bride is that rude woman who works at King Pizza. She scolded me once. She yelled at me and Sophie. She told us not to go inside the store." Gary and Ryan looked at each other briefly before laughing together. The small room was now filled with their a

The servants were so busy going back and forth taking care of all the needs, especially since the guests had started arriving early.Many special guests came to this most luxurious and phenomenal wedding, such as government officials, artists, conglomerates, and so on. They were very excited considering this was the wedding of the sole heir of the Roodenburg family, the family with the most wealth, popularity and influence.Who would want to miss an invitation to the wedding of the sole heir of the number one high-class family?"To be honest, I'm still traumatized by the events of that charity night." Lady took Sophie's arm."I didn't realize that the wedding invitation was real. It felt so... sudden, too sudden. It's a good thing you forced me to come, otherwise I would have regretted missing my idol's happy event even more, though I probably wouldn't have cried about it for long." Lady continued. She hugged Sophie while acting like she was sobbin
