*****

Time seemed to stretch endlessly in the suffocating darkness of the late night, yet no one moved or spoke, instead, the weight of realization continued to bore down on the crowd like a suffocating shroud.

The dullest among them had already understood the cruel game that had just unfolded—they had been nothing more than pawns in the landlord's twisted scheme.

They all continued staring unfocused at the smug, oversized figure as he basked in his own malice. His grin, brimming with pride

  • Chapter 1206 – The Sales Representative

    *****The sudden sound of the door being violently pushed open exploded through the showroom, the noise echoing so loudly that everyone inside jumped in shock.Instantly, conversations stopped mid-sentence, heads turned toward the entrance, and for a brief moment, the entire showroom froze.Standing in the doorway was a man in a suit.But he wasn’t the calm, polished kind of businessman one usually expected to see in a luxury car dealership.No.This man looked like he had just escaped from a marathon, his hair messy, his suit slightly wrinkled, and sweat…It drenched him so thoroughly at this moment that it looked as though he had just run five laps around the entire city… possibly while being chased by a pack of wolves.The moment he stepped inside, his eyes swept rapidly across the room, obviously scanning and searching.Then he spotted them… both Xavier and the receptionist standing beside him.The man didn’t hesitate for even a second.He sprinted toward them, making c

  • Chapter 1205 – Xavier’s Realization

    *****Based on everything Xavier knows about the marketing and sales industry, no company in its right mind would ever deliberately make a VIP client wait.That was practically a business sin.It was a widely popular piece of knowledge that VIP clients were the golden geese of the sales world… people capable of dropping enormous amounts of money in a single transaction.More importantly, they were often extremely busy individuals with tight schedules and limited patients.Time, for them, was often more valuable than money itself, and often than not, they were frugal with it.Which meant every competent company followed one simple rule:Serve VIP clients immediately.Even if every salesperson in the building were unavailable, someone would make time.In fact, if necessary, a manager or even a senior executive would personally come down to assist them, but here…Xavier had been sitting there long enough to finish five cups of coffee.Five!At this point, his bloodstream prob

  • Chapter 1204 – Xavier’s Quiet Suspicions

    *****Although the receptionist’s voice carried sincerity at this moment, there was a subtle confusion hiding deep within her eyes, which anyone paying close attention could easily notice.She clearly had no idea what was really going on.In fact, she had never encountered such a strange situation before.Customers were usually either treated as regular buyers or as VIPs based on their history and spending habits. The system was simple and predictable.But this?A man who had never set foot in the dealership before suddenly being labeled a VIP the moment he walked through the door?And then being ordered to wait… for a special representative who had yet to appear?It was baffling.Still, she was merely a receptionist, and her job description did not include questioning the decisions of the management.Her job was simple: follow instructions, smile politely, and avoid getting fired.Meanwhile, hearing the receptionist’s apology, Xavier couldn’t help but study her quietly for

  • Chapter 1203 – The Troubled Receptionist

    *****The receptionist really tried not to laugh, but she failed significantly.Seeing Xavier’s slightly grumpy face paired with such a ridiculous complaint made the situation far too amusing to ignore, and so, the sound of her laughter slipped out before she could stop herself.Hearing her, Xavier’s brows lifted immediately, then they lowered into a suspicious frown.“Is it funny?” he asked.His tone suddenly turned strict, serious, and almost intimidating, but somehow… that only made things worse.The receptionist’s lips twitched again, and this time her smile widened so much that she had to press them together to stop another laugh from escaping.She genuinely felt that Xavier was effortlessly funny without even trying.Still, she forced herself to regain control.‘Maintain professionalism!’‘Maintain professionalism!‘Maintain professionalism!She repeated internally to herself as though she was singing a mantra, but despite this, her face still practically ached from

  • Chapter 1202 – At This Point, I Might As Well Become A Coffee Reservoir

    *****Completely oblivious to everything that had unfolded after he left the hospital… the chaos that followed, the danger… if there was any, the panic, and the rather unfortunate fact that three unlucky individuals had ceased existing simply because they had tried selling him out and failed, Xavier was currently seated inside a spacious waiting room, his entire face practically engraved with boredom.He leaned back lazily in the cushioned chair, one leg crossed over the other as he watched the scene unfolding around him.Customers moved in and out, employees welcomed them with warm, cheerful smiles, deals were negotiated, keys were exchanged, and somewhere in the background, engines were likely admired.In short, business was thriving, but Xavier?He just sat there like a decorative plant someone had forgotten to water.People walked past him, and employees attended to others enthusiastically, but somehow, it was as if he had become invisible.He might as well have been a ghos

  • Chapter 1201 – The Citizens' Speculations

    *****Meanwhile, the third brother had already turned away, not bothering to look at the corpse again.As far as he was concerned, the bounty hunter had simply paid the price for incompetence.Instead, without wasting another second, he stormed straight toward his vehicle.His private army followed closely behind him, their expressions stiff as they hurried to keep up with their furious master.Moments later, everyone climbed inside, and the van’s engine roared to life, then without pause, the vehicle sped out of the compound like a storm tearing through the night.At almost the exact same time, Borgia’s situation wasn’t much better.Although he hadn’t exploded in quite the same spectacular fashion as his brother, the man who had approached him was now in an even worse state.When Borgia finally climbed back into his vehicle alongside his subordinates, the Bounty Hunter he had dealt with was already lying motionless on the ground.His body looked utterly ruined… bruised, brok
