At the mansion entrance, the butler bowed to Alex, his posture respectful.

“I’m sorry for your trouble. Please, don’t take it to heart.”

“No worries,” Alex replied.

Suddenly, two bodyguards rushed out.

“Stop there and follow us back to the room, or we’ll shoot,” one barked, their hands reaching for their weapons.

Without hesitation, the butler struck both bodyguards across the face.

They staggered back, stunned.

“Fools,” the butler growled.

“This young man is Mr. Kingston’s guest. Mind your words, or I’ll kill you both.”

The bodyguards turned even paler.

They had never seen the butler this angry and didn’t even realize how they were struck.

They had heard the butler was once a feared assassin.

“We... we’re sorry,” one of the bodyguards stammered.

“But Miss Jasmine’s condition is critical, and Dr. Jenkin said this man poisoned her.”

The butler’s eyes narrowed, his voice icy. “So, that idiot made a mistake and now wants to blame someone else?”

He turned to Alex and bowed deeply, his ton

    Sofina squeezed her eyes shut—but the slap never landed.Alex’s hand shot out like lightning, catching Ragnar’s wrist mid-air.“Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?” Alex said, voice cold enough to freeze stone.“Do you want to finish this in the race or right here in a fight? I’m open to both. And if we fight… I’m taking this hand of yours.”“Don’t you dare touch me, you half-slave!” Ragnar roared, trying to yank his arm free.Alex tightened his grip. “I’d rather not lay hands on a man carrying five sexually transmitted diseases.”The bones in Ragnar’s wrist ground together. He screamed—high, sharp, almost like a woman shrieking.Alex could’ve crushed the entire arm without effort.But Sofina rushed forward. “Alex, don’t hurt him!”At her voice, Alex released Ragnar instantly.Ragnar stumbled back, face drained of color, humiliation burning through him.“You’ll pay for this! I’ll take your arms—and your wife! Just wait!”He spun and stormed back toward his car.Sofina turned

    “Do you think you’re even worthy to bet your car and your arms against mine?” Ragnar barked, anger twisting his face.He had never met anyone bold—or stupid—enough to challenge him like this.“I am the son of a duke!” he roared. “And you? A half-slave! A thousand of you wouldn’t equal one of my fingers. Our value isn’t even comparable!”“You’re right,” Alex said with a slow yawn, as if bored.“So don’t bet. If you’re that scared of losing to my car, just walk away. No one’s forcing you. Honestly, I’m too lazy to waste time pampering a guy like you.”Ragnar froze—stunned. No one had ever spoken to him like that. Then he exploded.“You damn bastard! You think mouthing off makes you my equal? You’re a shadow, Alex. A man no lineage would claim.”Alex smiles faintly. “Funny. Every time you open your mouth, your bloodline looks cheaper.”Ragnar’s hand twitches. “Say that again.”Alex steps forward, “You’re terrified I might be better than you without a title—so terrified you need the whole

    “Oh come on.” Alex burst out laughing, loud and unfiltered.“I don’t know what the interior of a ten-million-dollar car looks like, but I do remember what the showroom guy told me. The previous owner was a hardcore VÖXEN enthusiast.”He shook his head, still amused.“He even modified the first-generation VÖXEN to match the newest model. I don’t know if he was crazy enough to imitate the VÖXEN Seraphine, but here’s what I do know—the man had to sell the car because his wife thought he loved this car more than he loved her.”Alex glanced at both women. “Maybe he did love this car more than his wife. Still didn’t save him. Nobody wins against their wife.”“So can we please stop talking about the car before my wife kicks me out for buying this ‘cheap’ thing that looks like an expensive one?”Sofina stopped mid-thought. Then her face brightened, her smile sudden and wide. “You’re right, Alex. We should just be grateful. This is a blessing.”“Exactly,” Alex said, pointing a finger for empha

    He activated autopilot, letting the Seraphina glide itself as he explored the dashboard and systems inside.Then he froze.Because he saw something incredible.This car wasn’t just a machine—it was a monster dressed in silver.Alex scrolled through the system and felt his breath tighten.The VÖXEN Seraphina had adaptive armor, a body that could shift shape on command.Space mode, deep-sea mode, off-world terrain mode—every configuration existed inside it.Military-grade. Classified. Unreal.But the thing that made Alex’s eyebrows lift was the camouflage system.He tapped the description, and a clean, polished introduction appeared on the screen:“We understand you may not always want attention—especially when parking in undesirable areas.Do not worry. The VÖXEN Seraphina can alter its outer frame into any low-tier model from the early VÖXEN lineup.Perfect camouflage.”Alex scrolled through the options.There it was—every VÖXEN model ever made, every generation laid out in a perfect

    The woman already knew Alex had arrived on a bicycle.Everyone did.He was probably the only man in this entire city still riding one in this age of airborne vehicles and silent electric cruisers.But a commission was still money on the table, and she wasn’t about to let it slip away. Better to try and risk being wrong than walk away with nothing at all.The world was full of strange millionaires—eccentric, unpredictable people who never looked like what they were. For all she knew, he might be one of them.“This is the barcode,” she said, steadying her voice. “Scan it, transfer the funds, and everything will be yours.”Alex lifted his wrist. His bracelet glowed.He scanned the code.A soft chime.Then the transfer—ten million dollars in clean, unquestionable cash—shot out of his account in a single breath.The bracelet vibrated as the system confirmed ownership.The car bond snapped into place.In the very next second, the entire showroom erupted.Sirens flared. Lights swept across t

    Alex’s eyes sharpened, “Are you absolutely sure about what you just said? That I can’t afford anything?”The woman snorted, crossed her arms, and let her smirk twist into something vicious.“Oh, I’m very sure. Real buyers don’t walk in looking like a budget disaster. You look like someone who waits for socks to go on clearance. The only thing you can actually afford is irritating people and wasting our time.”She leaned in, her tone dipped in poison.“Why ask about a car? Go buy the car key—the fake one that looks real but isn’t. That’s more your speed. Then you can take selfies with your pretend key and post it online. Maybe someone will believe you.”Alex stepped closer. “You judge people by paint and fabric. I judge people by respect.”A male salesman scoffed loudly. “You think you can insult your way into respect? Keep dreaming.”To them, he was nothing—just a delusional man who came on a bicycle, asking about a top-tier flying car he had no business standing near.Another salesma
