Lily nodded enthusiastically, clasping her little hands together. “Thank you, Uncle Elijah!” she said, her voice filled with pure joy.Elijah then pulled out his phone and transferred the entire amount needed for Lily’s school fees, plus an extra sum for them to buy her a special gift. He turned to Lily with a smile. “Guess what? I sent your mom some money to get you a teddy bear.”Overjoyed, Lily wrapped her tiny arms around Elijah in a hug, her happiness almost contagious. The woman thanked Elijah profusely, her eyes wet with gratitude, and together, she and Lily slowly made their way out, glancing back at him one last time with looks of deep appreciation.As Elijah opened each dish, he was greeted by an impressive display that looked almost too beautiful to eat. The seafood platter gleamed with vibrant colors—lobster tails, juicy shrimp, and delicate scallops, all arranged over a bed of ice and garnished with slices of lemon and sprigs of fresh herbs. Beside it was a plate of per

Sierra shrugged lightly. “I don’t know, Dad. It’s just an anonymous account—no profile picture, no bio, just some random username. But whoever they are, they were generous tonight.”Her father’s frown deepened as he listened, concern etched into his expression. “Sierra, you need to be cautious. You have no idea who’s on the other side of that screen, or why they’re doing this. People don’t just hand out money for no reason. It’s not normal.”Her mother chimed in gently, “Your father’s just looking out for you, honey. It’s wonderful you had someone supportive tonight, but…just keep your guard up.”Sierra nodded, though a hint of frustration lingered. She understood her father’s concerns, but tonight had felt special. “I’ll be careful, Dad, I promise.”Elijah finished his food then his drink, savoring the last sip with a contented smile. Tonight felt like a new start, and he was truly happy for himself. Setting down the empty glass, he stretched, feeling the satisfaction of the incredib

Soon, Elijah’s breakfast was delivered—a delicious spread just as elaborate as his dinner the night before. He savored each bite, taking his time as he soaked in this rare taste of luxury. Once he was done, he tidied up, making sure his outfit was just right, then left his room looking well-dressed and confident.As Elijah approached the reception desk, the receptionist’s eyes widened slightly, taken aback by his transformation. Gone was the man in casual, rumpled clothes; now he stood before her, well-dressed, exuding confidence with a polished look that highlighted his striking features.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted with newfound respect, almost surprised by her own tone. "Did you enjoy your stay in the penthousesuite? And—oh, I see the clothes suited you perfectly.”Elijah nodded, a slight smile on his face. “Yes, thank you. It was a great experience.”The receptionist beamed, clearly relieved that he was satisfied.Elijah glanced at the receptionist, nodding appreciatively. "T

The driver noticed him and pulled over to the curb. Elijah stepped forward to talk to the driver when he caught sight of someone sitting in the back seat—a passenger. His eyes widened slightly, taking in her striking appearance. She was a stunning, thick woman with a confident air, her figure gracefully filling out the curves of her fitted dress.Elijah froze for a moment, his gaze locked on the woman in the back seat. It took him a second to fully register who he was seeing—Sierra Lane, the TikToker he'd watched on live the night before, the very one he’d sent money to on a whim. Seeing her in person now, looking even more stunning than on screen, left him momentarily speechless.He couldn't believe the coincidence. Out of all the cabs he could’ve flagged down, it had to be this one. Part of him wondered if he should say something, if she’d recognize him, but he quickly realized she’d have no idea who he was.Elijah leaned forward slightly, telling the driver his destination and list

Meanwhile, as Sierra arrived on campus, she barely had time to adjust her bag over her shoulder before a crowd of students suddenly surrounded her. Startled, she paused, glancing around at the familiar faces, all wearing curious or eager expressions. Sierra was no stranger to attention—she was famous across New Ember University, not just for her rising popularity on TikTok but also for being one of the most admired girls on campus. She had her share of admirers, people crushing on her, and even envious glances.But this was different; she wasn’t expecting a swarm like this. Her eyebrows raised in confusion as she wondered what was going on.“Sierra!” one of them called out, grinning. “We were watching your live yesterday—who’s that person who gave you all those gifts?”Sierra blinked, realization dawning on her. Oh… right. She’d almost forgotten that plenty of her classmates would have been tuning into her live stream, eagerly watching every moment.Clearing her throat, she tried to

At the same time, the cab stopped at the designated area, and Elijah stepped out, paying for both his and Sierra's fare before heading toward the popular big show center where cars were on display.The place was like a modern, upscale mall. In the center, there was a spacious showroom area, where three cars were placed prominently on display, each one drawing attention from the crowd gathered around them. The atmosphere was a mix of luxury and excitement, with people admiring the cars, chatting, and some even taking pictures.Elijah's eyes were immediately drawn to the three cars. The first was a Tesla Model S, a sleek, futuristic electric car with a shiny black exterior, drawing crowds who were impressed by its tech features and advanced design. Beside it, a BMW M5 gleamed with a sophisticated silver finish. Lastly, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class stood elegantly in a deep metallic blue, exuding luxury and comfort, with its plush interiors and innovative features.A salesman was standing be

The old man’s eyes widened in surprise, and the surrounding crowd fell silent for a moment, sensing the tension building. Elijah’s challenge was not something most would dare to put out, especially with an expensive car like the BMW M5 on the line.The old man scoffed, his pride flaring. "You think you can just walk in here and buy a car like that without any problem?" he sneered, clearly not expecting to be called out. "You don't know what you're talking about, kid.”The man only said that because even if Elijah wanted to buy a car, the money wouldn't be able to be transferred instantly as most would go through some financing works and to him he thought Elijah was only showing off.The old man scoffed, his pride flaring. "You think you can just walk in here and buy a car like that without any problem?" he sneered, clearly not expecting to be called out. "You don't know what you're talking about, kid.""Well," Elijah said, letting a slight smirk tug at the corners of his lips, "let’s

The crowd erupted in laughter, and the old man stormed out of the showroom, clearly fuming. Elijah turned back to the salesman, his smirk softening into a composed expression. “So, how much longer for the paperwork?” he asked smoothly, as if nothing had happened.The salesman adjusted his tie, clearly more respectful now after witnessing Elijah’s seamless transaction. “It’ll take about 20 more minutes to finalize everything,” he said, a polite smile replacing the earlier doubt in his eyes.“Take your time,” Elijah replied calmly, stepping aside to let them work.The staff moved quickly, organizing paperwork and confirming the transfer. When everything was ready, the salesman handed Elijah the final documents, including the keys to the BMW M5. “Congratulations, sir. Everything is complete,” he said, offering a firm handshake.Elijah accepted it with a small nod.The salesman hesitated for a moment before introducing himself. “My name is Jacob Foster. I must say, Mr. Westbrook, you’ve

His cold, sharp eyes locked onto Elijah's calm, unwavering face.There was a moment of chilling silence, the sound of the dogs barking faintly behind them filling the heavy air.Phantom frowned slightly, as if assessing Elijah from head to toe.The blood-stained singlet on his chest stuck awkwardly to his skin, his muscles tense, the brutal energy he carried unmistakable.Yet before him stood Elijah — unflinching, arms slightly loose at his sides, his expression unreadable, almost casual.Phantom dropped the stick to the ground with a loud thud, wiped his hands slowly on a dirty cloth nearby, and took two slow steps closer, the tension thickening with every move.Phantom stared at Elijah for a long moment before a twisted smile curved on his lips.He opened his arms wide slightly and said in a low, taunting tone,"Elijah Westbrook... welcome."Elijah remained calm, his sharp gaze surveying the room again — the cages, the brutal scene behind Phantom, the men standing like loyal wolves

The scarred man gritted his teeth furiously but stayed in place, glaring at Elijah with burning hatred, breathing heavily as if restraining himself.Elijah stood there, unbothered, a light smirk still on his face. His calmness only made them more unsettled."Tch," Elijah muttered, shifting his weight slightly on his heel, still relaxed. "If this is the best Phantom Reiss has, then maybe I should be disappointed already."The group stiffened hearing Elijah mention Phantom Reiss so casually.One of the rough-looking men stepped forward, pointing a thick finger at Elijah and barking, "How dare you mention boss's name with your filthy mouth?"Another, gripping a rusted pipe in his hand, spat on the ground and said angrily, "Let’s just beat him bloody here and now!" His voice was thick with rage.But immediately, one of the older, slightly smarter men grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back roughly."No! Are you dumb?" he snapped. "Boss said bring him, not break him here. If we mess him u

As Elijah drove further, he suddenly spotted a small open area along the road—a place wide enough to pull off without causing suspicion.Without hesitation, he turned the steering, brought the Prado smoothly to a halt, killed the engine, and stepped out casually, leaving the driver’s door open.The man following him, surprised, immediately slowed down too, stopping a few meters behind, unsure what was happening.From inside his car, he watched Elijah.At first, he thought maybe Elijah was checking something on his car... but when he saw Elijah closing the door slowly and beginning to walk toward him—directly—his heart skipped a beat."Shit," the man muttered under his breath, quickly adjusting himself in the driver’s seat.He frowned hard, panic creeping in."Am I exposed? How? Was he monitoring me the whole time?"He kept his hand ready on the ignition, debating whether to drive off, but Elijah’s calm yet intimidating pace made it clear:Running might make it worse.Elijah's gaze was

“Elijah Westbrook?”“Yes. He just came out of a flower store by East Ridge Avenue, entered a black Prado. He’s with another man—probably a close aide or driver. They’re still parked.”“Good. Stay on him. We'll come there quickly.”The call ended. The man’s fingers moved swiftly over his phone screen, snapping a picture of the car and sending it in a flash.Elijah carefully opened the back door of the Prado and placed the beautifully wrapped bouquet—white and red roses mixed with some fresh lilies—gently onto the back seat. He closed the door quietly and glanced up at the sky; it was already getting darker, with the thick clouds hinting that rain could fall again soon.He checked the time on the car dashboard — 4:30 pm, almost brushing 5 pm. The day had moved faster than he expected.Without wasting time, he got into the driver’s seat, buckled up, and started the engine with a soft hum. Felix, who had been quietly scrolling on his phone, looked up and nodded as Elijah began driving out

Betty glanced at Sierra and suggested, “What about some jewelry? Like a nice chain or bracelet? Might look good on him.”Sierra shook her head gently. “I’ve not really seen Elijah wear those kinds of things. He’s more of the simple and classy type. I think these are enough.”“Alright then,” Betty nodded with a grin. “Still, what you’ve picked is solid.”With that, the two of them continued walking toward the mall’s main payment counter, their hands filled with stylish branded bags and other goods.On the other side of the floor, Sophia had also gathered a few items—less than Sierra but still noticeable. She began walking in the same direction, unaware of who else might be headed there. Her heels clicked lightly as she adjusted her purse and made her way to the counter to process her payment.As Sierra walked forward toward the main counter, her steps slowed slightly. Her eyes locked onto a familiar figure just a few meters ahead which was Sophia“That lady?” she murmured to herself, e

"I know I've wronged you, Elijah," he said, his voice cracking as desperation bled into his tone. "Please… please help me get out of here. I beg you."Elijah didn’t flinch. He held Damian’s gaze, his face unreadable—until, suddenly, he broke into laughter. Cold, mocking laughter that echoed off the walls of the grimy cell block."Help you?" Elijah chuckled, stepping closer. "Damian… why would I save you… from the very place I personally put you in?"Damian’s eyes widened, his lips parting in shock. "W-What? What do you mean… by where you brought me?" he stammered.Elijah’s smile was calm, sharp. "That’s right," he said smoothly. "Everything… every step that led you here—it was all part of my plan. You see, I knew what you were doing. I watched you ruin others, abuse your power, lie, manipulate. You thought nobody saw, didn’t you? But I did. And I waited. Waited till the right moment to crush you under the very weight of your own sins.”Damian stumbled back a step, gripping the bars ti

As they stepped out of the office, Elijah’s eyes caught Felix already standing across the hallway with his arms crossed, waiting alertly.Upon seeing Elijah approach, Felix immediately straightened up.Elijah stopped in front of him. “I’m giving you a task,” he said firmly. “You’ll make sure this whole place—everything inside—is transformed in a week. Hire the best interior designers or whoever you need. Every single material in this station must be replaced. Floors, walls, chairs, desks—everything. It should look brand new and high quality. And if you need more money, let me know.”Felix nodded instantly. “Sure, brother. I’ll do so. You can count on me.”Elijah gave him a quick nod and turned, continuing his walk with Dorson by his side. Felix followed closely behind.They soon reached the side of the building where the other policemen were stationed. The officer who had escorted Elijah earlier was there too. As they saw their superior, Superintendent Dorson, all the policemen stood

As Elijah sat silently, staring at his phone screen while it rang, Superintendent Dorson chuckled mockingly and leaned back in his chair, clearly thinking he had the upper hand.“Now you’re quiet, huh?” Dorson smirked. “Thought so. Must be regretting that chairman story. You young people and your jokes—next thing you’ll say is you own half the city. Don’t worry, I won’t lock you up… yet.”He laughed again, smugly folding his arms. “You looked so confident before, now you look like someone who just realized he’s out of his depth.”Just then, Elijah’s phone screen lit up—Isla had picked up the video call.Her face came into view, seated at her sleek desk, her glasses perched delicately on her nose. Behind her, the Dominion Group’s logo gleamed brightly on the wall.“Yes, Master Elijah?” she said calmly, clearly on speaker as her voice echoed faintly through the phone.Dorson’s laughter froze midsentence. His eyes widened, brows furrowing in confusion as he leaned forward, staring at the

Dorson’s jaw tightened slightly at Elijah’s composed boldness, and the air between them grew heavier.Superintendent Dorson narrowed his eyes and asked, “So what exactly did you come here to discuss?”Elijah leaned back slightly in the chair and replied, “Before we get into that…” He paused and let his eyes drift slowly around the room. His voice was calm, but edged with quiet criticism. “When I walked in here, I saw how bad this place looks. It shouldn’t be this way—for a whole police station, with your name and rank tied to it.”Dorson raised a brow, watching him.Elijah continued, “The paint on the walls is peeling like it hasn’t been touched in years. The hallway smells like damp papers and sweat. I passed broken ceiling tiles, exposed wires near the light switch. Some of your officers looked like they haven’t had new uniforms since 2010. Even the floor tiles in the corridor were cracked. Superintendent, you’re a big man—this shouldn’t be your standard.”Dorson’s face tightened s
