.After slapping Landon, Lisa forcefully dragged the Link to Love platinum necklace from his hand.“Why did you hit me?!” Landon was fuming with rage.He was slapped just because he’s trying to get a necklace?!This is the third slap he has received today for no good reason and he was fed up with it. After receiving, a slap, it was as if a nut had gotten loose in his brain because he threw his rational reasoning right out the window.There’s no way he’s letting this embarrassment slide by this time!“I tired of you wasting my time?! You are simply the worst! Just because we let you low life enter the store does not mean you can cause issues for real customers! Just get out of here since you can’t afford anything here.” Lisa replied harshly. Her irritation towards Landon had reached the limit.Meanwhile, both Fernando and Elena burst out into laughter as they watched Landon being humiliated.“Just get out of here you imbecile! You can’t afford anything here so there’s no need to keep embarrassing yourself just to create a facade!”Landon was boiling with anger even when he heard their mocking words.‘So you all think I can’t afford this necklace today? Why don’t we see…this necklace is going with me today!’ Landon’s angered eyes lit up with resolve.There’s no way he would be slapped and not have this girl responsible for slapping him pay for it.Landon brought his phone and thought about calling Eve but he decided against it. This matter seemed a bit too little to call her.He can handle this situation himself.“Where’s your manager?!” Landon shrieked out in rage while looking around hoping the other store attendants would come to his aid.However, when his eyes luckily caught a door with a tag that indicated the manager’s office he went for it.“I can’t believe this imbecile! He’s still keeping his facade even in such a state. How pathetic can he be?”“Hey, where do you think you are going?!” Lisa yelled at Landon after seeing him heading for the manager’s office.Lisa’s words fell on deaf ears as Landon opened the Manager’s office door.Right now Landon was so pissed off that he did not care about his manners.“Who are you-!”“I want to buy the last Link to Love platinum necklace outside and I’m willing to pay 10 times the price to get it!” Landon did not let the manager complete his scream as he slammed the black card on the table.The manager was about yelling but after seeing what Landon had slammed on the table he kept quiet.‘Is this a supreme black card?’The Manager’s eyes widen. He picked up the black card and with one touch and a glance he knew this was indeed the supreme black card.The Supreme Black card was not just a card any random wealthy person could have. It won’t be an exaggeration for him to admit that the number of people that have the supreme black card in this country was not more than the fingers in one hand.The Manager took a good glance at Landon but no matter how hard he tried there was nothing he saw about the young man that made him look extraordinary in his eyes.“Mr David I’m sorry! I will call security immediately to make sure that this low life is thrown out of this store!” Lisa moved into the office, fearing that Mr. David, the manager would get angry at her for not restricting this bastard from entering his office.“I also want this lady fired for slapping me in the face!” Landon pointed at Lisa as he voiced almost like he was ordering Mr. David.“Are you mad?!”At this point, Lisa could not help but feel that this pauper was courting death.“Do you want to die?!” Fernando voiced out immediately as well.Mr. David was a well-known influential figure in Dimvale City. He was a powerful man known for having a deep-rooted network in Dimvale City. Even as the Manager of this Gucci store most influential customer had to respect him when coming to this store.“Shut your mouth! I’m demanding for my right as a customer!” Landon screamed coldly after hearing their words.“I came to this shop to buy this necklace I had picked up first but instead I was slapped by your store attendants because she was playing favorites to sell the necklace to them?! Is this the way you guys run your store, Mr. Manger?!” Landon complained, anger evident in his voice.Mr. David had been taken by surprise by all that was going on but he quickly understood the situation.In a normal circumstance, he would’ve dealt with the scruffy-looking young man because he did not look like he could afford the Link to Love platinum necklace but after seeing the black card, Mr David thought otherwise.He decided to try to settle the situation calmly as much as possible.“Did you say you picked the necklace first young man?” Mr. David inquired.“Yes.” Landon nodded.Then David looked at Fernando and Elena. “I’m sorry sir and madam. We have a strict rule in our shop, the person who picks an item first gets to pay for it.”“But Mr. David this pauper can’t afford the Link to Love platinum necklace. He will only be wasting your time.” Fernando tried to reason with Mr. David respectfully.“I know sir but it is our rule sir if this young man's payment declines the necklace will automatically be yours to pay for. I’m just trying to follow protocol.” Mr. David replied calmly.The truth is if Landon’s payment does not end up working he would make sure he pays dearly for it. This young man will leave this place half-dead. The only reason Mr. David was attending to this situation calmly was due to the black card in front of him.“I’m sure this idiot won’t be able to pay!” Lisa voiced out.“It’s okay Lisa. Since we know this we will just wait so that the lowlife will try his paying and once it fails he would be dealt with.” Fernando said.“The imbecile deserves to be dealt with!” Elena supported.Mr. David quickly inserted the black card into the card reader. After that, Landon inputted the card pin which was his birthday, and then a few seconds later a beep was heard.The transaction was completed!“What?!” Mr. David could not believe it.“Wait the transaction was successful! The kid paid for the necklace!”Everyone in the Gucci store was shocked!The scene going on is so loud to catch both the worker's and customers attention.Elena was shocked!Even Fernando had a look of disbelief on his face.The black card had worked. Mr. David was curious as to what a scruffy-looking young man would be doing with a black card because of this he assumed that the card had to be fake however, since the transaction was successful his doubts were proven otherwise.‘Who the hell is this young man?!’ Mr. David took one more glance at Landon before looking at his card reader once more.[ Transaction Successful! $50,000 received from Landon King. ]‘King…?’ The moment Mr. David saw the last name of the young man he became petrified.“Sir…this is impossible this low life must have stolen someone else card!” Lisa was unconvinced.Hearing her words, Mr David quickly got up and rushed towards Landon.Rushing towards Landon. That was what everyone thought Mr. David was doing but he hurriedly walked past Landon to meet Lisa.Slap!“How dare you?!”Mr. David gave Lisa a loud slap that echoed in the entire store like thunder!..The moment Mr. David identified Landon’s last name a cold shiver ran down his entire spine. He quickly understood what was going on immediately.This young man is from the family of the shadows! The King Family!Although the King family was not a well-known family to the public, Mr. David who was a man who had connections rooted to the very core of Dimvale City was one of the lucky renowned individuals who knew about the King family. The King family is one of the most powerful families in the world.All the most powerful families in Dimvale City were nothing but ants to them. Even he was much smaller than an ant compared to the King family. Most people do not know about the existence of the King family but Mr. David knew that most of the powerful families he dared to not mess with were the King family’s puppets. He could die just from mentioning their name carelessly in public. That was how ruthless the King family was.Mr. David had still not recovered from the terror he was f
..Oceanic Oasis.One of the most luxurious bars in Dimvale City. Its architecture was built in such a way that it was a zoo housing sea creatures that offered bar services. With most of the walls made up of an Aquarium, the Ocaenic Oasis was the unique bar of its kind with such luxury, and those who appreciate beauty and fun were known for drinking there.“Oh wow! Kara happy birthday to you and you did well! You have such a nice taste to be celebrating your birthday here!”“I agree! Such exquisite taste tells that you are a classy girl.”“Thank you.” Kara smiled as she welcomed her guests who arrived one by one.She was having fun. Finding out her guest loved her choice of venue was self-assuring.“Kara!” At the mention of her name, Kara turned to notice a new group of people that had just arrived. However, two people in this group who had just attended her birthday made her frown.“Xander and Tricia…” Kara called out, clearly showing no hint of goodwill in her voice.After hearing
..On the way to Kara’s birthday, Mr. David had done well to share his contact with Landon. “Here’s my contact card young master. Do not hesitate to call me if you need anything.”This was an opportunity he would rather die for than afford to miss. An opportunity to work under an actual member of the family of the shadows will skyrocket his influence in Dimvale City tremendously.Landon accepted Mr. David's contact card without thinking too much about it. He was still not used to being treated this special but he had to admit things had changed for him since the appearance of the Crimson figure in his life.Due to Mr. David's help, Landon arrived at the Oceanic oasis but he did not expect that his sudden late arrival would cost a scene.….The moment Bernard saw Landon he frowned. But suddenly he smirked as he stared at Landon with eyes of contempt.“Landon you are here!” Kara said as she welcomed Landon.“Yeah…It’s your birthday of course I have to be here.” Landon replied sheepish
..When Bernard saw Kara kiss Landon on the cheek his expression immediately became ugly.His smile of only a second ago was now nowhere to be seen.Bernard silently gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He was very angry.‘Just why did she have to give this trash a kiss on the cheek?’Bernard glared at Landon with hatred and deep jealousy. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that if glares could kill people, Landon would’ve already been six feet under.At this moment, Bernard could not help but wish Landon nothing but death. Just what is going on here?! He has just spent twenty thousand dollars to get a gift for Kara but what he got in return was only just a ‘thank you’ from Kara.Meanwhile, this trash had spent a few hundred dollars to get Kara the fake of an expensive necklace that was far less expensive than his gift yet Kara had kissed Landon on the cheek.Just where did he go wrong? How is it that Kara never seems to hold him dear as she did with Landon?Bernard was jus
..Realizing ‘Godfather Wayne’ was the name of the man in charge sent shivers running down everyone’s entire spine.Who did not know who Father Wayne is?Father Wayne was the leader of all criminal organizations in Dimvale City. It would not be an understatement for someone to refer to him as the King of the underworld.He is a person known to be very ruthless and cold to his enemies. One of the main reasons he is feared is because he’s known for making sure those who offend him are punished accordingly. In other words, to offend the man is no different from offending the devil himself and words go by that this man was not known for not joking with his profit.Since the birthday party had somehow led to his most expensive drink being broken in his bar didn’t this mean they have offended him?Just the thought made all of them terrified.Kara did not know when her birthday had suddenly gone from bad to worse in just a few minutes. How are they supposed to get out of this mess?Xander i
..Just a minute ago everyone was convinced that with Xander here they would all be saved but things were not going as planned.They were all shocked to find out that Xander’s father was finding it hard to pay the 1.5 million dollars.“Xander is everything okay?” Tricia asked feeling worried.“I-I don’t understand…” Xander had caught his phone with a dazed expression. “Why can’t he pay the 1.5 million dollars?”Everyone was shocked by the sudden disappointment. Xander, who was supposed to be their capable savior turned out to be no different than them. Isn’t Xander’s father supposed to be worth tens of millions of dollars?“That’s five minutes gone. You all now have 55 minutes to get my money!” Godfather Wayne reminded them sternly.Hearing this everyone became frightened once more.“Bernard can’t you save us from this?!”Everyone looked at Bernard with hopeful eyes.Bernard is rich. After all, he’s the one who had given Kara the most expensive gift in the entire party. If there’s an
..While everyone had incredulous expressions as they stared at Godfather in awe, Godfather Wayne was actually sweating buckets right now.He was simply too terrified.He had just received a call from the all-powerful Eve Quinn known to be the representative of the family of the shadows in Dimvale City.He had still not recovered from the shock of receiving a call directly from her but he got another shock immediately after.Eve Quinn was very angry at him and the reason is because she made him understand that he currently has the heir of the family of the Shadows captured among the students he is holding.Such a realization nearly gave him a heart attack due to the sudden fear of his life.‘Thank goodness I haven’t done anything because today may have been my last day on earth!’There’s no way the King family would let him keep living if he had hurt their heir.As the king of the underworld, he was among the very few influential people in Dimvale city who knew about the King family.
..Landon was stunned at the moment. He did not expect Kara to spot such loopholes. She had seen the flaw through Xander’s lies.To Kara, some things did not make sense. It was clear she was not happy with Xander and his friends but she smelled something fishy. Almost as if Xander was lying. So many things did not add up.“What rubbish are you talking about? Tell me were you the one who was responsible for our freedom then?” Xander became defensive at this point as he acted annoyed.Xander was under so much pressure at this point but he was betting so much on luck at this moment. As far as the real person responsible for their freedom did not come outside with proof then he would be safe.Kara knew her parents were not responsible for their freedom so she replied. “No.”“So what are you saying? If you are not responsible do you know the person responsible?”Kara frowned without saying anything.Her reaction answered Xander’s question.“I thought so. Just stop causing a fuss where th
