"You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!”
Sophia scoffed with disdain.
“That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!"
Alex chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.”
"You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust.
"You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer."
Alex laughed.
"The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me."
What a braggart!
Sophia rowed her eyes in disgust.
She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face.
How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack?
"You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just to get my money," Sophia retorted.
"But I warn you, that’s never going to happen. If my family finds out I slept with a poor man like you, you’ll be erased from this world. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened here."
"I…"
"I don’t want to hear another word from you. Now, get out of this room," she demanded, her eyes blazing with fury.
"But…"
Alex tried to protest.
This was his room.
“NOW!”
Yet, seeing the fury in Sophia’s wide eyes, he chose not to argue.
He quietly put on his clothes, grabbed his old military backpack, and looked at Sophia one last time.
"I…"
"Get out!" Sophia’s yelled at the top of her lung.
"Alright."
In the elevator, Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair.
He knew the woman was under the influence of a cruel aphrodisiac, one that would end her life if she didn’t have sex with a man within the hour.
If there were any other way to save her, he would have done it already.
But that kind of sinister poison had no antidote.
"What the hell have I done? I came here to meet my fiancée, but before even meeting her, I’ve already slept with another woman. Maybe this is what they call a legendary bachelor party."
As Alex walked out from the elevator into the lobby, it was around five in the morning.
The hotel was quiet, with only a few people scattered around.
Yet, as he crossed the lobby, a group of men in black—about forty of them—suddenly appeared, forming two lines and bowing deeply as he passed.
He glanced at them with little interest, his expression one of boredom as if this was something he was long tired of.
A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group, kneeling before him in a knight-like stance.
"I am Alfred Kingston, at your service, Young Master," the man declared with reverence.
Alex looked down at him. "Alfred, do you know why I’m here in such simple clothes?"
"Young Master,
please enlighten me," Alfred responded, his head still bowed."I’m here incognito," Alex explained. "And all this unnecessary fuss—are you trying to blow my cover so everyone knows who I truly am?"
"I apologize for my short-sightedness," Alfred quickly stood, turning to the men behind him.
With a swift gesture, he signaled for them to disperse, and the line of men quickly melted away, leaving the lobby empty once more.
"Tell me what you’re here for," Alex said as he walked toward a nearby sofa.
Alfred followed closely behind, like a faithful servant.
"Yes, Young Master," Alfred responded promptly.
He reached into his coat and pulled out a small box.
Opening it, he revealed a black card with gold trim and a .235-carat diamond embedded in the center.
"This is the World First Royale Mastercard. With unlimited credit, just use it as you see fit."
Alfred humbly handed it to Alex.
"This card also comes with a dedicated 24/7 concierge service that is highly personalized for you alone.”
“You’ll have access to a team that can fulfill almost any request, whether it’s securing last-minute reservations at the finest restaurants, arranging private jet travel, or gaining entry to exclusive events.”
“It connects you to the most secretive circles—no one will ever say no to you."
Alex looked at the card without any interest.
Alfred continued.
"I also arranged for the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a one-of-a-kind model equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology and self-driving capabilities.”
“But since you are here incognito, I guess you won’t like it, — so here is a villa in case you need to have a long stay."
Alfred explained with caution.
Alex nodded.
"Good to see you understood. I’ll keep the card for emergencies, but you can hold onto all the other gifts you’ve prepared."
“Now, tell me what you want.”

Chapter 509
“Transfer the money first,” Sofina said, calm but firm.She wanted the cash back—the money she had used to buy the ring—so at least she wouldn’t take a financial hit on top of everything else.“Fine,” Belinda sneered. “It’s only ninety thousand. Do you really think I wouldn’t pay such pocket change?”“No money, no item,” Sofina replied flatly, tightening her grip on the ancient painting.Belinda sent the transfer through her bracelet without hesitation and snatched the painting the moment it cleared.A wide smile spread across her face. In her mind, the profit was already counted—millions of dollars sitting right in her hands.“Now,” Belinda said, lifting her chin, her eyes sharp and demanding, “about the ring. Hand it back to me. Right now.”Sofina looked at her sharply. Her eyes were cold. “If you want that ring, you’d better line up a team of lawyers.”Belinda smiled, slow and smug. “Then wait for the call. My father is more than happy to use Eden Group’s legal team. You know their

“There’s no way that cheap replica ring is a real interspace storage ring,” Belinda said coldly.If it were truly legendary, she would have bought it herself. She would never have let it slip into someone else’s hands.“You used a trick,” she pressed on. “You hid the painting and made it look like it disappeared.” Her eyes hardened. “Just admit it.”“Denial,” Alex sneered. “The first refuge of people who can’t handle the truth. Believe whatever helps you sleep.”Belinda snapped, her patience gone. “Enough games. Where did you hide the painting?”Alex lifted a finger and pointed calmly at Sofina’s ring.“Believe it or not, it’s inside.”Sofina’s fingers tightened around the ring.“Inside…?” she whispered, afraid to believe it was really worth fifty million dollars.Alex’s smile slowly deepened. “Yes.”Ragnar burst into a loud, forced laugh. “You expect us to believe a poor man’s fantasy? Very funny.”“Whatever,” Alex said coldly. “I don’t need to prove anything to you—except that you’r

Ragnar’s eyes snapped to Belinda. His voice dropped low, sharp as a blade.“Tell me the truth. Did you set this up with that dirty bastard just to scam me?”Belinda’s face drained of color. “No—no. I didn’t know. I swear.”“Oh, come on,” Alex said lazily. “You promised me ten percent of whatever price I managed to squeeze out of Ragnar. Now he’s on the hook for a hundred thousand. That means you owe me ten thousand, as agreed.”“Shut up,” Belinda snapped. “I don’t even know you.”She knew Alex was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between her and Ragnar.She was only a baron’s daughter. If Ragnar struck her, she had no power to fight back. All she could do was swallow the fear—and the pain.Ragnar stepped closer, his shadow swallowing her. His gaze bored into her face.“Then tell me,” he said coldly, “who do you think should pay for that ring?”Belinda swallowed hard. “R-Ragnar… according to the rules, the bidder has to pay.”His hand flashed.Slap.Pain tore across her cheek.

“Whatever.” Renata had no patience left for someone like her.“Five hundred dollars. That’s the price. Are you selling it to Sofina or not? If not, take it home and stop wasting everyone’s time.”Belinda scanned the room with a crooked grin. “Anyone want to gamble five hundred on this piece of shit?”No one answered. In an age of screens and holograms, a dusty old relic meant nothing to most of them.Belinda laughed sharply. “Oh? So this piece of crap goes to Sofina. Same trash, same owner.”Her voice rose in exaggerated theatrics. “Come on. Let’s give her a big round of applause. At least that shitty painting is worth five hundred dollars.”A few people clapped half-heartedly, more out of awkwardness than approval.Belinda’s smile hardened. She shoved the painting back into its box and thrust it at Sofina. “Pay up. Take this shit home with you.”Sofina transferred the money without a word, her face calm, her eyes refusing to acknowledge Belinda’s existence.Belinda didn’t stop.She m

Tobias was fighting the system. He searched through every circuit, every logic chain, every safety layer. Minutes passed. His brow was soaked in sweat.Everything was perfect.Every system reported normal. Every parameter was within optimal range.And yet the machine had fallen out of the sky.Ragnar laughed again, sharp and cruel. “Face it, Tobias. You won’t finish a mobile suit this year either. Same failure. Same ending.”Alex spoke casually, as if changing the subject. “Sofina, have you heard about the fake driver case in Eden Group? You should be careful about things like that.”“What?” Sofina turned to him, confused.“A driver once pretended to work for Eden Group,” Alex continued calmly.“He turned out to be a competitor’s spy. Once inside the vehicle, he installed a virus that triggered a controlled malfunction. I heard it nearly caused a fatal accident and was meant to sabotage one of Eden Group’s most important clients.”“Alright,” Sofina nodded, still unsure why Alex brough

After all the gifts were collected, the class reunion truly began.People spread across the hall, greeting one another, exchanging stories about their lives, their failures, their victories. Some spoke with genuine nostalgia.Others smiled while quietly calculating profit, scanning the room for connections to exploit—like multi-level marketers, insurance agents, and investment salesmen hunting for their next target.Every conversation carried tension beneath the laughter.Then the announcement dropped.The Winchester Stadium officially revealed this year’s Mobile Suit Tournament.A ripple of excitement swept through the room.From the VIP area reserved for the reunion, the entire stadium lay open before them—vast, gleaming, alive with light. At the center stood the machines themselves.Mobile suits.War machines built for human pilots. Three to five meters tall. Capable of flight, space travel, and combat in nearly any environment.To most people, they were simply giant robots. To tho
