The thugs spread out to all sides on the first floor of Guillon Glasses. They quickly shuffled through the neatly organized items, both inside the display cases and outside. The sound of shattering glass soon dominated the room."No! No! Please, don't do this!" David trembled as he watched his father's merchandise fall apart.Meanwhile, the employees approached each other feeling increasingly intimidated. At that moment, they realized that the mysterious men were not robbers. If they were robbers, they would have immediately asked David to show them where the money from today's transaction was kept, instead of destroying things like now.On the other hand, the employees also wanted to stop the action of the bar thugs. However, they are worried that their actions will lead to a shot in the head. Although life is sometimes difficult, they don't want to die yet.When the employees took a stance of not wanting to get involved in the chaos, David urged them to help save his father's busine

In a dark corner of FleetLand, there were two men sitting on a long bench. One of them bowed very low."We've taken care of everything, sir. Everything happened the way you wanted it to. The CCTV evidence has been erased and the place is a mess. To be sure, not a single piece of merchandise remains.""Good!""May I leave now, sir?" The man repeated his question at King Pizza earlier.That's right, it was Thomas. He was reporting on the work of himself and his friends in tinkering with the Guillon Glasses. Just like at King Pizza earlier, for some reason Thomas felt an overwhelming fear when dealing with Jack. That young man really had a strong murderous aura."No." Jack turned to Thomas. He looked at him sharply.Of course that made Thomas look down even more. He clenched his hands into fists to hide his fear. "W-what did I do wrong, sir?"BUG!Thomas raised his head to see what the sound was. And, Thomas' eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped. If his hands were shaking in fear before,

Jack smiled widely in front of his tiny dorm room. He looked up before taking a deep breath of air and closing his eyes."I hope Uncle Bob is better now."Jack picked up the bicycle parked nearby. This morning, he planned to visit Claire's father at Sunshine Hospital."I can't come empty-handed. Claire will definitely be happy if I bring her favorite food."While continuing to pedal his bike, Jack remembered the name of the restaurant famous for its delicious steak dishes."Prime Steakhouse! Yes, that's the name of the restaurant. I'll go there!" Jack stopped his bike to look up the location of the restaurant on his phone. He smiled widely when he found out.Actually, this restaurant was on a street that Jack was familiar with. It's just that, having never been there and probably just passing by, Jack didn't pay much attention to it.Jack pedaled his bike back after putting his cell phone in his bag.Moments later, Jack arrived at the Prime Steakhouse courtyard.

When Jack turned around after ending the call with Matthew, two waiters were already staring at him. Apparently, they were waiting to scold Jack!"Finished, huh?!" The waitress scrunched up her waist. Her face looked very disgusted. "You must have just called your boyfriend, right?""What?"Jack was shocked! Even though his relationship with Sophie ended in such a heinous way, he was still attracted to the opposite sex. It had never occurred to Jack to try to establish a love relationship with a man.Now, Jack laughed. He silently said, "Me and Matthew, dating?Of course, the waiters in front of Jack were not happy to see him laughing. To them, the laughter sounded like mockery."You see for yourself, how annoying this loser is. That's why I can't contain my anger. The other poor people, who came just to sit around without ordering, at least they are still sane and can be asked nicely to leave this restaurant. Whereas this person? Geez, this really is the most unlucky day of my life!"

A man in a black suit stood in the meeting room of Steakhouse Prime restaurant. He smiled as one by one the waiters entered the room."Sit down," he ordered in an authoritative voice.The waiters bowed respectfully before sitting down. They looked at the restaurant manager.That's right, the man in the black suit was indeed the manager of Steakhouse Prime. His name was Mario Braxton."First, I apologize for having an unannounced meeting, interrupting your working hours. But this won't last long." Mario sat down in his chair.Mario placed both hands on the table. His eyes looked at one waiter after another in turn to make sure all the waiters had gathered."As you know, this restaurant was previously owned by Mr. Hudson. But, from now on it is no longer. Steakhouse Prime is now owned by someone else, Mr. Jack."The waiters looked at each other. They seemed to be wondering who this person named Jack was. It might be the name of some people in this town. But, they had never heard of some

This time Lily and her friend couldn't help but laugh. Their loud laughter made the restaurant patrons turn their heads towards them.Realizing this, Lily and her friend immediately stopped laughing. They looked back at Jack. This time they looked at him with a condescending gaze."If you're Mr. Jack, then I'm the governor of this city!" sneered Lily's friend. The man then glared. "Now, come on out!"The waiter tugged at Jack's clothes, but he was surprised to realize that only Jack's clothes moved as a result of his tugging, while Jack's body didn't move at all.The waiter then pulled Jack's right arm with both hands. He grimaced to show his teeth due to the amount of force expended. But the result was the same!Jack didn't move like a boulder that was very difficult to shift.But the waiter didn't give up, he thought of pushing Jack all the way to the door. He placed both hands on Jack's back. He took a deep breath before pushing Jack. And, when he exerted himself to do so, there wa

Lily and the servant were surprised. They looked at each other. There was disbelief visible on both of their faces. They clearly hadn't expected that Jack would be so bold as to pressure Mario.Meanwhile, hearing Jack's bold and unhesitating words, Mario's premonition became unfavorable.Mario was surprised that Jack knew that he had asked Hudson about the photo of the new owner of Steakhouse Prime. And indeed Hudson asked him to wait because he had to ask one of the important people in Rhineland about the photo."Is the important person Mr. Hudson is referring to someone named Matthew? Is that Matthew Devall, the confidant of the most wealthy and influential family in this city, the Roodenburg family?Mario gulped because of the questions that were in his head. There was a lot of uneasiness rising in his heart at this moment.'If the Matthew that the troublemaker in front of him was talking about was really Matthew Devall, could it be that the man was the Young Master Roodenburg?'Ja

After eating the premium kobe beef steak, Jack rushed to Sunshine Hospital with a portion of cheese steak for Claire. He was very excited to see Uncle Bob's condition. Last night, Claire had texted him that her father was on the mend.Moments later, Jack had arrived at the hospital parking lot. This time no one dared to stop him, including the hospital guards. On the contrary, the new security guard who replaced the insolent old guard was very polite to Jack.'Martha's doing a good job,' Jack thought as he passed the guard.Like the guard, the receptionist, nurses, and other employees at Sunshine Hospital also bowed respectfully to him. Jack smiled and returned the salute. Actually, he didn't want people to be like that to him. Just being nice as they should be was enough. The most important thing was that they didn't inconvenience the patients who wanted to seek treatment.'Claire will be surprised to see me coming!'Jack continued walking towards the VVIP ward. Uncle Bob was no long

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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

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.
