As Elijah walked away, Sierra stood there for a moment, tears slipping down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them with the back of her hand and lowered her head. “Sorry…” she muttered softly to herself, knowing he was already gone upstairs.Inside the bedroom, Elijah shut the door firmly behind him. He didn’t sit. He didn’t pace. He simply pulled out his phone and dialed Felix.Felix picked up almost immediately. “Yeah?”“Do we have the footage?” Elijah asked straight to the point.“Yes,” Felix replied. “We’ve accessed them. Still reviewing everything carefully.”Elijah nodded slightly even though Felix couldn’t see him. “The police were here.”There was a brief pause on the line. “What?”“She reported it,” Elijah said coldly. “They’ve already collected the location.”Felix exhaled. “That complicates things.”“It does,” Elijah replied. “Listen carefully. Tell Phantom to copy all the footage first. Everything. Make duplicates.”“Done,” Felix said.“And then clear the recording from that n

Inspector Amanda Doyle’s eyes shifted toward the black sedan parked behind Elijah. “Mr. Westbrook… is that your car?” she asked.Elijah nodded calmly. “Yes. I just bought it. My other car is damaged.”Sierra’s head turned sharply toward him. He bought another car? Just like that? She stared at the vehicle again, trying to process it.The two male officers stepped closer, curiosity replacing tension. One of them leaned slightly forward. “Is that the latest 2026 S-Class Guard that was just announced?” he asked.Elijah nodded. “That’s right. The 2026 S-Class Guard.”The officer let out a low whistle. “Damn… driving a 2026 car in 2025 already. I saw online it costs more than seven hundred thousand dollars, doesn’t it?”Elijah gave a faint smile. “That’s right.”The shock was visible on their faces. Even Sierra looked at him differently now. She hadn’t expected something like this.Amanda’s expression sharpened slightly. “Are you financing the car?” she asked.Elijah shook his head. “No. F

After everything was finalized, Clara personally handed Elijah the completed documents.Ownership papers.Registration.Security clearance documents.He reviewed them briefly, folded them neatly, and slipped them into the leather folder provided.Without unnecessary words, he walked toward his new car.The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Guard waited under the sunlight, dark and commanding.He opened the heavy driver’s door this time.Sat inside.The outside world muted instantly.He started the engine.The refined, powerful hum drew attention immediately.As he eased the car out of the showroom lane and onto the main street, heads began turning.Pedestrians slowed down.Some people stopped walking entirely.“Is that the new S-Class Guard?!”Phones came out instantly.Car spotters on the sidewalk lit up.“Yo! Yo! That’s the Guard model!”“Bro that’s a million-dollar spec!”Cameras pointed and videos started rolling.One guy jogged alongside briefly, filming.The black armored sedan glided smoot

The attendant’s hand flew to her cheek instantly.It burned.Her eyes watered—not just from the pain, but from the humiliation in front of everyone.“Manager… please,” she pleaded, her voice trembling. “I didn’t know… I was just trying to protect the showroom…”Menson didn’t look at her.“I just lost a million-dollar sale,” he said coldly.“Manager, please, give me another chance,” she begged, stepping closer. “I’ll do anything.”Menson finally turned toward her, eyes hard.“You have one hour,” he said.She blinked.“One hour to bring in a client who can close at least a $500,000 to $1 million deal.”The attendants around them went silent.“If you can’t,” he continued, “don’t even think of working here again.”He pointed toward the exit.“You’re fired. Leave.”Her face was drained of color.One hour?To find a half-million to million-dollar client?She stood there frozen as Menson walked back into the showroom, the doors closing behind him.At the same time, across town, Sierra and Be

Clara was still processing everything.But she nodded.“Sure… sure,” she said, regaining her composure.She signaled to her staff immediately. “Bring the new key.”One of the attendants rushed off and returned with the sealed key case. Clara opened it herself, took out the smart key, and walked to the driver’s side.She opened the door and got in.Elijah slid into the passenger seat beside her, relaxed.Clara pressed the ignition.The engine came alive—not loud, not aggressive—but deep and powerful. A refined, controlled sound that carried weight without noise.Heads turned inside the showroom.Customers looked up.Staff gathered subtly.Clara adjusted the mirrors, then pressed the accelerator slightly.The car responded smoothly, effortlessly.She reversed carefully out of the display spot.As they rolled forward, she shifted into a more professional tone.“The Guard version has reinforced suspension to handle the additional weight,” she explained. “You won’t feel it much, but the st

Clara actually gasped.“Wait,” she said, almost laughing in disbelief.She shook her head lightly.“Stop joking.”She stepped a little closer, lowering her voice but keeping her tone firm.“I’m giving you the chance to look at the car—as a young guy that you are—so you can at least brag to your friends that you’ve sat inside a 2026 S-Class Guard… while we’re still in 2025.”Clara continued, half teasing, half testing him.“I’m even giving you the opportunity to take pictures with it. Post it on your social media. Flex however you want.”She folded her arms lightly. “So stop trying to play games with me.”Elijah shook his head slowly. “It seems you misunderstood,” he said calmly. “I didn’t come here because I wanted to take pictures.”His voice didn’t rise. It didn’t harden. It remained steady.“I came here because I wanted to buy a vehicle.”He looked directly at her. “I told you that if I looked at the interior and liked it, I would buy it.”He took a small step forward, composed. “S
