2024-04-10 02:51:07Rose picked up the card and looked at it for a few seconds.
"Where did you get this fake card?" She had suddenly caught William off guard and he gasped.Is this woman crazy?How dare she call a supreme black card fake?Five years ago, he was the only one with this exclusive card in the entire city.From Rose's perspective, the card was fake.
She knew about the platinum card, the gold and silver cards, and the benefits attached to them but a black card?This is definitely a joke.This card was different from the others she knew and it didn't even have the company's logo.This man actually came to make fun of her.
She would make sure to disgrace him and then summon the security guards to deal with him.How can a poor man be so brave?Rose took the handheld terminal machine and made to insert the card when William stopped her.
"You must be new here. I need to meet with your Manager. Only the manager has the device to check my balance"When he said this, her eyes widened, then she laughed hysterically.The women who were now cautious of the security guards, giggled silently.
This trash picker was a clown. Perhaps he stole a script from a movie set and memorized some of the lines."You're such an idiot" Rose scolded him and inserted the card into the machine.
The screen lit up and there was a prompt demanding the access code."This is not going to work" William complained.
The black card won't work in other payment terminals except for the one built for it.If used in a bank that's not Exclusive Avenue bank, the person would receive a message to use the Exclusive Avenue bank terminal for the card.But then, it's a trick.
The true owners of black cards know the right place to use the card."Input your pin before I call the guards on you" Rose threatened loudly and her gaze was locked onto him.
She wanted to see the peanut in his account if this card was perhaps not fake."Hey, Mr. Trillions, we want sister Rose to attend to us. Withdraw your trillions and leave?" The younger woman among the three couldn't hold her disgust for William and had let it out already.
Why do poor people think they can come here and make demands? This is a place for the upper class in the society and her husband was one. Naturally, she was one too."Sister Rose, throw him out. This man is a popular trash picker and shouldn't even be here. I'm sure he hasn't seen a million before" The second woman did not hesitate to chime in now that her friend had talked.
"Are you going to input it or I'll have you beaten like a dog?" Rose's gaze was now deadly as she threatened William again.
This was supposed to anger him but now, he had an interesting idea.What happens when his card is used in the Exclusive Avenue bank branch but not the right terminal?
A sly smile escaped William's lips.This arrogant attendant was about to find out.He casually inputted his pin and hit the proceed button.
Rose looked over the screen to see the loading process and was patiently waiting but minutes passed and nothing happened.
"So you brought a fake card after all?" She made to raise her voice and summon the security team when something unexpected happened.
All the alarm systems in the bank suddenly became active and the piercing wail reverberated off the walls, slicing through the tension like a knife. Was there a bank robbery? This only happened when there was a robbery in the bank. Suddenly, the bank was flooded with the thunderous sound of heavy footsteps descending from above, and unannounced, the doors burst open with a resounding crash. A team of elite SWAT officers surged into the room from various directions. They were clothed in black uniforms, their faces hidden behind menacing masks.Rose was still trying to understand what was happening when the SWAT team formed a perimeter around her.
They were all aiming the nozzle of their weapons at her and an authoritative voice sounded from one of them, "Drop that card before we kill you!! "Fear enveloped her instantly and her legs felt like they would give way any second.
Hastily, she released the terminal machine and the men turned their weapons to William who now had a hand in his pocket."Where did you find this card?" They demanded.
There was an ultimate silence in the bank hall except for the three women who were still whispering to themselves.
"I knew it, he's a thief"
"He must have stolen that card from someone"
"Now Sister Rose is in trouble. I'm scared"
"This trash picker really dares to cause trouble for sister Rose. These men will kill him today"
"He deserves it"
William remained calm and his expression unreadable.
"Speak before we take action" The leader of the SWAT team had taken a step forward and his aura was imposing but the latter did not bulge.
"Hey, stop right now! " The thick masculine voice of a man sounded from the distance and everyone recognized it immediately.
The authority in his voice reverberated in the room. It was the bank manager of the branch, Mr. Grey Almond.The armed men slowly turned their heads to him but didn't retreat their weapons."Do you seek death? That is the Young Master, you fools! "
The moment the last word came out of Mr. Grey's mouth, the men retreated their weapons and dropped to their knees before Williams."Young Master, You have returned"
At that moment, the balance of power had shifted.

"You're forgetting to return my card," William said so casually like nothing had happened. "Huh?" She was stunned. Quickly, she moved to the table and picked up the handheld machine only to see the message on the screen. 'Card is unreadable'This was the first time she had seen such a message. Rose dared to not delay as she pulled out the black card and handed it over to William with the slight bow of her head. Her fingers fidgeted as she did and she glanced in the direction of her boss, hoping he would come to her rescue. There was a fierce look on Grey's face instead. He scolded her, "Rose, what did you do?" Somehow, he knew she had done something wrong. Young Master William knew the right place to insert his black card.

A heavy steel door creaked open, followed by the slow sound of wheels rolling across the floor.The dim bulb overhead the room flickered. Harry Snow wheeled himself inside, his expression void of emotion.At the center of the room sat Tracey Wilson, tied securely to a chair, her wrists and ankles bound tightly.Her once high-class clothes were crumpled, her hair tangled, and her face was marked with dried tears.The moment she saw Harry, muffled groans came from her throat as she chewed against the restraints over her mouth. Her body trembled. Harry watched her struggle. Then, without a word, he leaned forward and yanked the gag loose."Help! Help me! Something please, you have to help me! "Her scream echoed in the small room, filled with desperation.Harry didn’t even flinch. Instead, he calmly raised a gun, pointing the barrel straight at her forehead. His voice was low, almost as if he was bored."If you keep screaming like a mad dog, then I’ll put you down like one"Tracey

264: The ex-son-in-law
William Miller stepped out of his car and faced the grand entrance of the Wilson residence. The towering gates, the stone pathway, and the excess decorations all remained the same, but everything about this place now felt distant, like a chapter he had closed. As he stood there, something unexpected stirred within him. Memories flooded back to the early days of his marriage when Tracey had treated him with at least some warmth. Anna, too, had once been kind, often sneaking him food when her mother and aunt deliberately starved him. But those days had vanished, replaced by ridicule, humiliation, and, ultimately, betrayal. Tracey had chosen another man over him; a man who obviously didn’t love her but merely sought to use her. Yet, she was too blinded by wealth to see it. William exhaled sharply, his gaze turning cold. Pushing open the doors, he walked in. The moment Elizabeth Wilson laid eyes on him, her expression twisted into one of disgust. Sitting on a luxurious couc

The warm glow of the chandeliers illuminated the entrance, and as she made her way inside, she was immediately greeted by the familiar voice of her sister . "You're finally back!" Anna rushed forward, excitement in her eyes. Without wasting a second, she grinned mischievously "Did you come to tell me about brother-in-law? Dad told me already"Amelia's steps faltered, and she shot her younger sister a glare, "Anna, how many times do I have to tell you? Stop calling him that""But why?" Anna crossed her arms stubbornly "Aren’t you going to marry him in the future?"Amelia opened her mouth to respond but found herself at a loss for words. Marry William? She had never really put thought into it. What started as a pretend relationship to keep her family off her back had somehow shi
262: A Desperate Call For Help
Harry Snow sat motionless in his wheelchair, his fingers trembling against his phone screen, scrolling through his contact list. He had to be wrong. There had to be a way out of this. Someone had to help him.His first call went to an old family connection, someone his father had worked with in the past. The line rang twice before a familiar voice answered."Harry? How are you—""I need your help," Harry cut in, his voice low but firm. "My family… they’re gone. Something happened, and I need—""Stop right there." The man's tone turned sharp. "Don't ever call me again. Do you have any idea what kind of force wiped out your family? If I even speak to you for too long, my own family could be next"Harry’s stomach twisted, "You—You can’t be serious. You—""Forget that I exist, Harry"The call ended.Harry gritted his teeth, anger pushing past his fear. He dialed another number, a man even more powerful, one who had shared drinks with his father at lavish parties.This time, the momen

She noticed his movement and leaned forward in excitement. "You're awake," Her voice was soft with a hint of relief, "What happened to you? I found you unconscious in my study. There was no one around to help me take you to the hospital, so I did what I could"Harry barely acknowledged her words. His mind was still sluggish, but one thought clawed its way through the fog of his mind, his family. Ignoring the dizziness that came with his sudden movement, he reached for his phone on the nightstand and quickly dialed his father’s number.No response.He redialed. The call rang and rang before switching to voicemail.Frowning, he tried his mother next.Same result. Then his unc

Meanwhile, Evelyn sat in her dimly lit room, her fingers nervously tapping against the edge of her laptop. With a deep breath, she pressed the button to connect to the video call. The screen flickered momentarily before the familiar, haggard face of Old Master Miller appeared. His eyes were clouded with anger. "Why haven't you returned home, Evelyn?" His voice was sharp, almost accusing, the calm demeanor he once held now gone, "You’ve ignored my orders, and now you're putting yourself at risk. I gave you clear instructions!"Evelyn’s heart sank, the weight of his anger pressing down on her. "Grandfather, I didn’t ignore you. I just... I had to make sure William was safe. I couldn’t leave until I knew he was alright""You should have come back immediately!" Old Master Miller interrupted, his voice filled with frustration. "You’re not trained for this, Evelyn.

259: Where Is Harry Snow?
He took a step forward, his voice calm but filled with authority. “Tell me where Harry Snow is.”The room fell into a deeper silence.. The Snow family members exchanged glances, their eyes filled with fear and defiance. None of them dared to meet William’s gaze, and the cold weight of their silence was deafening. It was clear they had already chosen their path. They would never reveal the location of Harry, no matter the cost.William's expression remained stoic, but he repeated the question, his voice firmer this time. “Where is Harry Snow?”For a long moment, there was no response. Not a word. Not a whisper.And then, one by one, the Snow family members bowed their heads in unison, lowering themselves to the floor. It was a gesture of submissionbut one filled with absolute resolve. They had chosen to die rather than betray their heir.“We would rather die than reveal his location,” one of the elders said quietly, his voice trembling with both fear and pride.William’s eyes narrowe
258: The Commander General
The tense atmosphere in the grand chamber of the Snow villa grew even heavier as Mark Snow, still reeling from the financial devastation William had just described, began to bark orders at the Border Generals. His eyes were wild with panic, his mind grasping for any thread of hope.“Kill him! Don’t just stand there!” Mark shouted, his voice sharp with desperation.The Border Generals, who had been silent until now, exchanged brief, unreadable glances. Their stoic expressions remained unmoved, yet there was an unmistakable hesitation in their demeanor. They were seasoned warriors, accustomed to life-or-death situations, but something in William’s calm, controlled presence had thrown them off balance.William stood at the center of the room, his hands resting behind him. His eyes, dark and unyielding, never left Mark Snow’s face.But before the situation could escalate any further, the door to the chamber flew open with a sudden, thunderous crash.All heads turned in unison as a tal
