"Now that’s a true gentleman!" Mrs. Lancaster exclaimed.

"Oh, I’m just doing what I can to help," Chris responded humbly, though inside, his pride swelled at the praise.

Meanwhile, Alex couldn't suppress a sneer.

He turned to Chris.

"Do you even know what’s going on? Or are you once again claiming credit for something you had no hand in?"

Jack shot back at Alex.

"You almost got us into more trouble with your reckless mouth. Chris was the one who scared off Trevor, so what are you even talking about?"

Chris’s eyes widened at the mention of Trevor.

Trevor?!

They were talking about *that* Trevor, the feared underworld boss?

No wonder the man had looked so menacing!

Relief washed over Chris—he was glad he had shown up late and hadn’t made any bold moves.

Phew!

Still, he couldn’t help but wonder when he’d gained such influence over someone like Trevor.

Maybe his father’s influence was far greater than he had ever imagined.

He looked around, realizing no one held more power than him.

    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

    “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
