2024-06-26 17:01:43"Master, since you just arrived, I'm sure you'll need a place to stay. That's why I prepared the top mansion in Prestige Estate.
Here is the access card. Please accept it," Carl said, bowing his head in respect while presenting the card. "Also, here is Bovsa's Platinum Card, with a credit limit of 500 million dollars. You can use it at any store or fuel station owned by Kevton's Chamber." Dave smiled in appreciation. "That's very thoughtful of you," he said. "Master, I've also prepared a special world-class restaurant, Feldman, not far from here where you could have a good breakfast before leaving for home," Carl informed. Dave looked at him a bit surprised. None of the nine leaders of The Great Empire had ever given him such a gift, so Dave felt it was good to reward Carl for his kind gesture. "Carl Mullen, what will you have me do for you?" Dave asked. Carl decided to take advantage of this opportunity with Dave. He had found out that Dave was the mystic physician who was widely talked about in the entire City but only a few knew it was Dave! "Master, my youngest daughter is gravely ill. Despite efforts from various physicians, her condition continues to deteriorate. She has become extremely frail, and unable to eat properly. I earnestly request your presence to treat her." "That's no problem," Dave promised. "Thank you, Master," Carl smiled in satisfaction. "Is there anything else I can help with?" "Help me find a teenage girl." "Consider it done at your request, Master." Carl bowed in respect and turned to leave until he remembered something which was also very important. "Master, please remember the special welcome banquet at Prest Garden, along Rican Way. It will be held at 6 pm this evening." "I won't be there," Dave answered sharply. "Cancel it." Dave was wary of drawing unnecessary attention at public events, so he knew it was best to cancel the banquet! However, Carl was taken aback by Dave's sudden decision to cancel the banquet. He had assumed Dave would agree to attend so that he would be able to honor Dave and establish a closer connection, but now with the cancellation, he felt powerless to do anything more. "Oh, Master. It would have been such an honour to have you at the banquet." "Maybe some other time," Dave replied casually, dismissing Carl. Once Carl had departed, Dave instructed his chauffeur to drive him to Feldman Restaurant, the world-class restaurant Carl had already arranged for him. There, Dave enjoyed an exquisite and mouth-watering breakfast before continuing with his day. After his meal, he directed his chauffeur to take him to the Dexters' mansion in Flavour Hills. His godfather, Dylan Duke, president of Utah Group, one of Gadreston Country's largest business conglomerates, had instructed Dave to meet Gordon Dexter, the patriarch of the Dexter family. Dylan had told Dave that his fiancee was from the Dexter family. Although Dave wasn’t interested in fulfilling a contract marriage, he still decided to take a visit to the Dexters first. However, as soon as Dave arrived in front of the Dexters' magnificent mansion, he suddenly bumped into a young fair lady with smooth and succulent skin. "Gosh!" The lady was inquisitive to find out whom she had just bumped into. Her brows furrowed in anger when she noticed that it was Dave! "Are you stalking me now? Didn't I tell you to steer clear from me?" Dave furrowed his brows in surprise when he suddenly realized that the lady who had just bumped into him was the same person he had a one-night stand with at Gallagher Hotel. "Of course, I didn't come here for you. I came here to look for my fiancee..." "Fiancee?" Ava reiterated in surprise. Had this shameless braggart missed his way? How could a low-life like him talk of looking for his fiancee in her family's mansion?! Before Ava could say anything more, Dave asked, "Do you know anyone by the name of Ava Dexter? She's the one I've come to look for." At the mention of Ava's name, shockwaves ran through her body. Could Dave be the "so-called fiancé" her grandfather always spoke of? Of course, it couldn't be possible! Eager to confirm her suspicions, Ava's frown deepened, and she shot Dave a look of disdain before asking, "Are you Dave Collins?" Dave nodded slowly, also puzzled by how Ava knew his full name. He hadn't divulged any personal information about himself during their encounter the previous night. "Uuuh?" Ava's disbelief was palpable as she gave Dave an even more condescending look. How could this low-life and nada be her fiancé?! In her eyes, Dave was a shameless braggart who pretended to be something he wasn't. "Never! I would rather die than marry a deadbeat loser like you!" Ava spat out with her voice dripping with contempt. Almost immediately, a baritone voice echoed from behind them. "Dave, my grandson. It's good you're here." It was Gordon Dexter, Ava's grandfather.

Ava and Dave turned in Gordon's direction. He approached them, smiling broadly, glad to see Ava and Dave together. "Oh, splendid. It's wonderful that the two of you are already getting along," Gordon remarked, gesturing for them to follow him into the mansion. Despite feeling uneasy about the situation, Ava and Dave remained silent, unsure of how to respond to Gordon's assumption. Ava was eager to enter the mansion to share with her grandfather that Dave wasn't a marriage prospect! Upon entering, they encountered Greg and Joyce Dexter, Ava's parents, deeply engrossed in laughter and conversation while watching a movie. "Joyce, we have a special guest. Ask the chef to prepare a nice meal for him," Gordon instructed, prompting Greg and Joyce to look up. Their gazes landed on Dave, and they exchanged puzzled glances, wondering who he was. Dave was dressed in a simple T-shirt and trousers, causing them to wonder why Gordon had introduced him as a special guest. They

"An expert, that's who I am. A mystic physician who has several other skills...""Cut that crap, fool. Aren't you tired of being a shameless braggart?" Ava interrupted. “There's no way I'm going to fall for you. You mark my words!”“Come on. Who knows? You might find me charming and suitable. Don’t jump to a conclusion.” Dave couldn't help but tease Ava, which made Ava even more furious.“A street rat is even better than you, so quit dreaming!”While Ava was still speaking, a white Rolls Royce vehicle pulled up in front of them, and a young, pretty lady clad in an expensive designer dress stepped out of the vehicle. “Ava!” She said, waving her hands at Ava. She was Ava's best friend, Hannah. Hannah walked up to Ava and gave her a warm hug. "Sweetheart, thanks a lot for picking me up," Ava said, and then, she gestured towards Dave. “And this is the one I told you about.” When Ava realized she couldn't avoid obeying her grandfather by marrying Dave, she decided to seek advice

Their beauty was undeniable and captivating!Ava's dark, wavy hair cascaded down her shoulders, perfectly complementing her emerald green dress that hugged her figure in all the right places. Meanwhile, Hannah's fair complexion and delicate features were also accentuated by a flowing lavender gown that made her look like she had stepped out of a fairy tale.Dave was dressed in simple attire—a plain shirt and trousers that marked him as a commoner in the eyes of the club’s elite, so no one seemed to notice him. However, Dave wasn't perturbed. Some of the young men, dressed in their finest attire, were captivated by Hannah and Ava's ethereal beauty.One of the men, Clark, who had been pursuing Ava for some time, approached her. "Ava, you look absolutely stunning. You're simply irresistible," he remark

Jerry's blood continued to boil in indignation at the sight of Dave.How could someone like Ava, his dream goddess, be married to a commoner? It was a humiliation he could hardly bear!In Jerry's mind, Dave was not just unworthy of Ava; he was unworthy of being his rival. The mere thought of competing with someone like Dave filled Jerry with disdain. He decided he needed to put Dave in his place and teach him a lesson about where he truly belonged!With confidence, Jerry faced Dave with his voice dripping with condescension. "Hey, Dave. Why don't you join me in the noble sports competition today? Let's see how much of a man you are."Dave looked at Jerry expressionless, "I'm not interested, Jerry," he replied casually.Jerry's eyes narrowed. He was not accustomed to being dismissed so easily. "What’s the matter, Dave? Afraid you can’t keep up? Afraid you'll embarrass yourself?" He leaned in closer, his voice lowering to a mocking whisper. "Or maybe you just know that you're not

Upon hearing Jerry's remarks, the crowd burst into laughter. Jerry's smug smile widened as he soaked in the attention, feeling victorious, even before the competition had begun. He had every reason to believe that Dave would crumble under the pressure."Come on, Dave! Prove you’re not just a waste of space!" someone shouted from the crowd."Yeah, Dave, show us what you’ve got, if you’ve got anything at all!" another person added.Dave, however, was not someone that could be easily pushed around or manipulated. He gave Jerry a cold look."Hey, man, if you’re so eager to make a fool of yourself, then I’ll grant your wish. I’ll compete with you. And when I win, everyone will see who the real fool is."The crowd fell silent for a moment, shocked by Dave's retort. Then the laughter resumed, louder and more boisterous than before. Jerry's eyes narrowed with his smile fading into a tight-lipped grimace."How could a loser like you even talk of winning? I'm sure you've never played sport

Despite the lack of evidence, the murmurs of cheating and deceit continued to circulate among the members of the club. For many of them, it was easier to doubt Dave's character than to accept that someone from a humble background like his, could defeat Jerry so effortlessly! Jerry, who had been seething with anger and embarrassment, now found a twisted sense of relief in the crowd’s continued mockery of Dave. The accusations of cheating provided him with a convenient escape from the humiliation of his loss. As long as they continued to mock Dave, his pride remained somewhat intact! "Did you see how he played?" another club member whispered to another. "No way someone like that jerk could beat Jerry without some kind of trickery." "I know, right? It just doesn't add up," the other replied. "Jerry is one of the best. That guy must have done something sneaky." Jerry, overhearing these comments, felt a smirk tug at the corners of his mouth. Though he had no proof

Ava, who had been glaring at Dave with obvious disdain, turned her attention to Jerry. "What is it, Jerry?" Jerry's smile widened, sensing an opportunity to regain control of the situation. "I heard from my Uncle that Carl Mullen, the head of the Kevton Chamber of Commerce is hosting a banquet tonight. I know you've been working hard to help your family's business, Dexters' Associates, join the chamber. This could be your chance, you know?" Ava's eyes lit up with interest. "Really? Carl Mullen is in town?" "Yes," Jerry confirmed. "I thought you might want to attend the banquet. I can introduce you to him and pave the way for Dexters' Associates to gain access to the Kevton Chamber of Commerce. Don't you think it's going to be a great opportunity?" The mention of such a prestigious event immediately captured Ava's full attention, and she momentarily forgot her disdain for Dave. "That would be amazing, Jerry. Thank you for thinking of me." Jerry's eyes glea

Jerry's face froze with a flicker of disbelief crossing his features. "What are you talking about, loser? I got the information directly from my uncle." "Well, your uncle must have missed the latest update," Dave replied calmly. Jerry burst into laughter as he turned to Dave with a sneer. "You know what, fool, it's pretty bold of you to claim the banquet is cancelled. Do you even know who Carl Mullen is?" He laughed once again with a condescending tone lacing his words. "Someone like you probably doesn't even know what a banquet is, let alone anything about its status." Dave remained composed, unfazed by Jerry's mockery. He took another sip of his drink and met Jerry's gaze steadily, silently enjoying Jerry's naive pride. "You shouldn't envy my connections and background, jerk. It's not something someone like you could ever understand," Jerry continued. "But, if you really want to attend the banquet, I suppose I could reluctantly take you along. You know, just to bro

Dave stood there with his fists clenched and his patience finally at its breaking point.He had tolerated enough of Jerry’s arrogance, his lies, his constant need to take credit for things he had nothing to do with.But this time?This time, he wasn’t letting it slide.He took a step forward, his voice cutting through the air with a sharpness that made everyone stop."Jerry," Dave said coldly, "since you enjoy taking credit for things you haven’t done, let’s talk about reality, shall we?"Jerry smirked, completely unbothered. "What are you going on about, Dave? I helped Ava, simple as that."Dave’s eyes darkened."Your father," he began, "is nothing but one of the low-status staff in Hendrix Group—one of the companies under the Great Kevton Chamber of Commerce."The smirk on Jerry’s face faltered.Dave continued. "He’s been hanging by a thread there for months, hasn’t he? The company is downsizing, cutting off unneeded employees. And what did you and your father do?" He chuckled dar

Within an hour, Ava was back in the city. The anxiety she had felt on the way had not lessened—if anything, it had intensified. She clutched the paper with the address Dave had given her as the cab sped through the city streets. When the driver finally pulled up in front of the destination, Ava’s breath caught in her throat. Before her stood an exotic mansion—a structure so breathtaking, she had to glance at the paper in her hands again, making sure she had the right address. Dave is here? Ava stepped out of the cab, her heels clicking against the pristine pavement as she approached the grand entrance. Her mind whirled with questions. Who owned this majestic place? How did Dave—the same man who had been captured by Jacob Dale’s men—end up here? Nothing was making sense. The moment Ava stepped inside, she felt as though she had entered a dream. The interior was beyond luxurious, with elegant chandeliers casting a soft golden glow over the grand hallway. The sc

I was just about to call you.”His voice was smooth and confident, as always.

Dave moved with the same calm precision of a man who knew exactly what he was doing. His fingers danced over the screen, making a few swift calls.Then, he set the phone down and folded his arms. “I told you, Jacob. I could make you… or break you.”Jacob scoffed, leaning back in his chair. “You’re an idiot and you can do nothing!"Just as he was about to order his men to beat Dave senseless, his phone began to buzz violently on the desk.Jacob frowned, eyeing the screen. His personal assistant’s name flashed across it.With a sneer, Jacob picked up the call. “Make it quick. I’m about to end someone’s life.”The voice on the other end sounded panicked.“Sir… it’s over. We’re finished!”Jacob’s face darkened. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Sir, our company… it’s bankrupt! All our major investors have withdrawn their funds! There’s nothing left! If we don’t act immediately, the company will be a complete write-off!”Jacob froze.His company? Bankrupt? Impossible!A sharp, sic

News of Dave’s capture spread quickly through the Dexter household like a wildfire.Ava’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dexter, sat in their lavish living room, exchanging concerned glances. The air was thick with tension. The revelation that Jacob Dale’s men had promised to return for Ava had struck a deep nerve.Mr. Dexter folded his arms, pacing. “This is bad. This is very bad.”Mrs. Dexter placed a trembling hand over her chest. “Ava, you need to leave town immediately. If they’re coming for you next, we can’t take any chances.”Ava sat in silence while her mind was in turmoil Run away? Leave Dave behind?Mr. Dexter nodded in agreement. “Not only you, Ava. We’ll relocate the entire family—for now, at least. If Jacob Dale wants revenge, he won’t just come for you. He’ll come for us all.”Ava’s mother sighed dramatically before adding, “And honestly, dear, maybe this is a sign.”Ava furrowed her brows. “A sign?”Her mother leaned forward. “A sign that you need to let go of Dave.

The sun was bright over Nexroh, casting a golden hue over the sprawling estate of the Dexter family. Ava stood in the garden, inhaling the scent of freshly bloomed roses, but her mind was restless. The events of the previous night still lingered.Dave, however, was moving on as if nothing had happened. He had briefly visited the mansion and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed a sleek, black Rolls-Royce Phantom glide into the compound.Its polished surface reflected the sunlight.The Dexter estate security guards, who normally would have stopped an unknown vehicle, took one look at the license plate and backed away immediately. Whoever was inside had power!As the vehicle came to a silent halt, four tall, broad-shouldered men stepped out. Dressed impeccably in black suits, their faces were expressionless with their eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses. Their aura screamed authority, control, and danger!The leader, a man with slicked-back hair and a sharp jawline, surveyed t

The next day, the Dexter family mansion was lively with celebration. The family had gathered to honor Ava's recent membership in the Kevton Chamber of Commerce.A grand feast had been laid out in the massive dining hall, where the Dexters, their friends, and esteemed guests laughed and chatted over plates of exquisite cuisine. Dave was present as well, sitting beside Ava, though most of the Dexter family still viewed him with skepticism.Suddenly, gunshot rang out like a thunderclap, shattering the lively atmosphere.Then another.Then several more!A cold silence fell over the room, quickly replaced by rising panic. Some guests jumped from their seats in alarm, while others froze in terror with their faces pale.“What the hell is happening?!” one of the guests shouted.Before anyone could react, the grand doors burst open with a deafening crash, revealing a group of armed men. Their faces were hard and their gazes were deadly.At the center of them stood a man almost everyone in N

The few remaining patrons sat frozen in stunned silence, unwilling to move until the danger had completely passed.Just before leaving, one of Scarface’s lead bodyguards turned back and shot a dark glare at Dave. His face was pale and his hands trembled slightly, but he still forced himself to speak.“You have no idea what you’ve done, bastard,” the bodyguard warned in a grave voice. “Scarface’s father won’t let you off the hook. You’ve signed your own death warrant!”Dave didn’t even bother to lift his head. Instead, he casually leaned back in his seat, still twirling a fork in his fingers."If I count to three and you’re still standing here, you’ll never leave by the time I’m done with you."The room grew colder, and an icy silence settled over everyone.The bodyguard hesitated, his bravado cracking under the sheer indifference in Dave’s gaze. He swallowed hard and his legs were stiff, but when Dave calmly said "One."—he panicked and shut his mouth. Without another word, he spun
