2024-09-15 00:01:10As she stepped into the sitting room, every pair of eyes turned toward her.
It was the absolute worst moment to be in the spotlight.
She quickly tucked her bank card behind her back, hoping no one would notice.
Grandpa Abraham’s face twisted with displeasure as he glared at Sophia.
“Where have you been? Why didn’t you greet your husband like I told you?”
Sophia’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she wished she could vanish.
In a small voice, she mumbled, “I did, Grandpa.”
“Yes, Grandpa, she did,” Alex chimed in, trying to back her up.
Grandpa Abraham’s expression finally softened.
The truth was, Sophia didn’t care about greeting Alex.
All she wanted was to get rid of him.
She was willing

“Oh—yes, the VÖXEN Seraphine hiding under first-generation camouflage,” Alex said with a bright, almost playful smile. “I called the previous owner to clear up the mystery.”“And…?” Renata leaned closer.“Turns out,” Alex said, trying not to laugh, “the man was obsessed with the VÖXEN Seraphine. Absolute dream car. But his wife hated the idea—said it was a waste of money, that he should buy her gold or jewelry instead of some overpriced machine.”“But he wanted it so badly that he bought it behind her back. He knew she’d explode if she found out how much he spent. So he activated the camouflage mode and disguised it as a first-generation VÖXEN. His wife never suspected a thing.”“And…?” Sofina pushed.“One day they got into a huge fight. His wife, furious, sold the ‘first-generation VÖXEN’ for a dirt-cheap price. And I happened to be the one who bought it for eighty thousand.”“Damn,” Renata muttered. “You’re insanely lucky.”“Alex,” Sofina said, worried, “this VÖXEN Seraphine is wort

Alex smiled at Ragnar. “I have to admit. You’re really working hard to piss me off. Congratulations. The price just went up—three million for your arm. And your heart?”He shrugged. “Five million. If you want to bargain, complain, or throw a tantrum, go ahead. I’ll keep raising the price until I walk away with your real arm and your real heart.”“Alex,” Sofina called. “What are you even going to do with the money and the car if Ragnar pays?”“Well,” Alex said, eyes softening when they met hers, “I’ll give them to you, of course.”She bit her lip, worry tightening her voice. “If you’re really okay with that… Ragnar’s my classmate, my friend. I’m not taking anything from him.”“Sure,” Alex said with a small smile. He already knew what she would do. Sofina couldn’t hurt anyone—not if she could avoid it.She’d return the money and the car the moment she had the chance. That was just who she was. And for Alex, the amount itself was nothing—pocket change.He didn’t need Ragnar’s money. He n

Ragnar roared, his voice shaking with fury.“Damn it, Alex! You screwed me over with that VÖXEN Seraphine—using camouflage to make it look like a first-generation model! That’s cheating. This round is void!”Alex Saint-Claire didn’t flinch. He only smirked. “Really? You want to crawl back on your own words now?”He tapped his bracelet, linking it to the stadium’s massive screen. The contract appeared in sharp detail for everyone to read.“This man—Ragnar Eisenwall, heir of Duke Eisenwall—says he doesn’t want to pay his bet,” Alex announced, projecting his voice across the arena. “People of Winchester, what do you think?”The reaction was instant. Jeers erupted from every corner of the stadium, rolling like thunder.Some people in the crowd—desperate to protect their bets on Ragnar—shouted for the race to be voided so they could get their money back. But their voices were instantly swallowed by the roaring stadium.Most of the audience agreed: the document was valid. Ragnar had asked f

Previously, Ragnar slammed the accelerator the moment the start signal flashed.The VÖXEN Gen-6 roared like a beast unleashed.This machine could break 1,000 km/h without hesitation, while Alex’s first-generation VÖXEN struggled at 500 km/h on its best day.Ragnar knew the math.Start fast.Hit hard.Build a gap Alex could never cross.And he didn’t just want to win—he wanted to bury Alex in humiliation.He launched straight to 200 km/h, then climbed past 800 km/h, carving through the track with ruthless precision.By the time he completed five out of ten laps, he glanced at his speedometer—857 km/h and rising.“There’s no damn way that bastard with a 500-km/h coffin can keep up with me,” Ragnar snarled. “Even if his junk explodes, he still won’t touch my speed.”But on the way into lap six—A black blur shot past him so violently it felt like the air had been ripped open.Ragnar’s eyes went wide.It was Alex’s VÖXEN.That ancient machine wasn’t supposed to even breathe in the same le

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
