The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 055 The Hux Gang
“What the fuck is going on?” a gang member exclaimed, eyeing Tyler in a daze. “Who is this guy?”The stranger had appeared within the blink of an eye out of nowhere. He shoved Torque out of the bullet’s way in the nick of time, which was way too fast for a human.“Tyler Grant!” Huxley called out. “How did you escape from the police station? You’re supposed to be in handcuffs!”Tyler cast a glance mixed with pity and revulsion at the gang leader. “I feel no obligation to answer questions of a bottom-feeder like you. But it would be best if you worried about yourself. You signed your own death sentence by kidnapping my sister!”“My death sentence?” Huxley spat with a howl of laughter. “You may have escaped your demise at the Marian Hotel because of Dwayne Mosby. But here, I am the undisputed king! You walked into the lion’s den, Tyler! Our entire gang of sixty will skewer you into mincemeat!”Tyler scoffed. “Do you call these pipsqueaks a gang? What a joke! They will die along with you

Torque realized he received fatal blows, and his vital organs were punctured. His vision was blurring, and his ears were ringing the death knell. However, the stranger’s words came through to him clearly.Torque had seen with utter astonishment how Tyler moved with unnatural speed and fought with superhuman strength. He even watched him stop a bullet with his bare hands. How was that possible?The hulk had principles he was determined to follow until his last moments. One of them was never to kneel to any man. However, the stranger demanding his fealty was no man. He was a god.With a thundering groan, Torque heaved himself up with his hands and went up on one knee. Blood pooled out of his wounds, forming crimson puddles. However, the hulk spoke a few words with his last ounce of energy.“My name… TORQUE… Swear… My allegiance.”Even though Torque was about to die, he felt serving an extraordinary man during his last moments would be a privilege.Tyler smirked, impressed by the hulk’s
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 057 Reckless Driving
Tyler was on his way to GlobeMall in Yara's borrowed Honda Hybrid. "I have to get a new car soon," he said to himself.The young man wondered what kind of emergency Natalie was in. She refused to tell him anything over the phone.Tyler gazed at his right hand and bit his lip. He had made the Martyr's Bloodstone into a ring. It was his alternative power source. He didn't have to visit the spiritual aquifer in Prince's Cove daily.The Bloodstone's actual utility was something different, which he put to experiment today. It had worked well to heal Torque's fatal injuries, which confirmed its efficacy. However, the hulk was exceptionally strong and could handle the powerful surges of turbulent mystical energy.Silas and Ruth's weakened constitutions may collapse under the Bloodstone's full blast. Tyler needed another rare item to soften its rush—a chakra needle. But he had no idea where to start looking for it.Tyler was only a mile away from GlobeMall when his vision began to blur. He sh

"I am not interested in banquets or parties," Tyler replied dryly. "You can tell Malcolm I rejected his invitation."Natalie pursed her lips in confusion. Why did he refer to Lord Douglas by his first name? Were they close? Was Tyler being offensive, or was he so influential that even the royal family allowed him to be casual? The latter was unlikely."Look…" she began, putting her thoughts to rest. "I don't know how you earned the Douglas family's favor. But let me tell you, getting an invitation from the Prince of Petra is huge! On the other hand, turning it down won't be good for either of us. Dad committed to Lord Douglas that he'll bring you along. Please do it for me… Pretty please…"Tyler sighed and shook his head lightly. Did Silas assume he could accept invitations on his behalf? Did the billionaire have no regard for his time? But Natalie looked so innocent and adorable pleading, it was challenging to say no."Fine! I'll go."The beauty did a fist pump, and her eyes darted a

Tyler turned around to see Erica Sinclair and Melissa Brown making googly eyes at him. But as soon as they recognized who he was, their expressions turned sour, as if they had bit into a freshly cut lemon."What the hell are you doing here, Tyler?" Erica spat, taking a step back.The webs of wonder she had built were brutally shattered. She had imagined that she'd seduce an attractive scion with her beauty. However, the stranger had turned out to be the man she despised. Moreover, he actually looked dashing in the Brioni suit!Tyler slanted his eyes at the girls. "What I am doing here is none of your business," he replied sharply."Have you been following Erica?" Melissa asked with a pretentious, worried look. "Should I call the security guards?"However, the young man sounded disinterested. "Stop wasting my time and get out of my sight."His words infuriated Erica. "Enough of your nonsense, Tyler! Do you think wearing trial clothes actually made you wealthy? You're still as dirt poor

“Why did the mall manager pay you obeisance?” Natalie asked curiously. “Are you hiding anything from me?”Tyler shrugged casually. “He’s an acquaintance of my father, and I helped him out once. That’s about it.”While the young woman was unsatisfied with his answer, she decided not to pursue it further. But she was determined to find out the truth one day.“You were quite feisty earlier,” Tyler observed. “I told you once you don’t need to defend me everywhere. I can take care of myself.”“Hmph,” Natalie replied with a scornful expression, which made her look even more adorable. “I couldn’t digest that little bitch’s insults. She got on my nerves.”Tyler chuckled and was inclined to make a catfight sound but decided against it.“Do you disapprove of my behavior then?” Natalie teased, poking him in the chest playfully.“No, actually, I enjoyed it,” came the reply. “It makes you more enticing than usual.”His words made Natalie blush, and she turned away sharply so he wouldn’t notice her
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 061 Party Queue
The Marian Hotel’s royal hall was open for the first time in years. It was the grandest banquet location not only in the hotel but in the entire county.Silas Anderson had built it a decade back with a donation from the royal family of Petra. The large scintillating chandeliers, rare imported fixtures, mosaic stone walls, Tuscany marble floors, and Barcelona glass tables gave the banquet hall a resemblance to something from a Victorian fantasy novel.However, the hall was almost empty even though the entry time had approached. The reason was—even though the Douglas family had announced a grand banquet, they never sent out invitations.However, a large crowd gathered outside the hall, waiting to be allowed inside. It comprised top billionaires of Petra County, top celebrities, senators and congressmen, eminent artist figures, and so on.The banquet herald summoned individuals one by one from a pre-determined list. The elite crowd gathered could only hope against hope that their names o
