“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 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

Tyler stopped in his tracks and glared at Trent. “Get out of my way! I have an invitation.”The young Cooper laughed aloud, and the crowd joined in. They wondered in amusement if Tyler was delusional or a fraud.“You fool!” Trent bellowed. “Now you are caught in your own lies! Lord Douglas never sent out any invitations! The royal banquet admits guests at the door from a special list! The herald calls out the name of the individual or family!”People surrounding them began to whisper and point accusatory fingers at Tyler.“What a creep!”“Someone call the cops!”“Haha! The fraud shot himself in the foot!”Mark Cooper returned, followed by Derek Sentinel, attracted by the commotion.“What is going on here?” Derek asked sternly. His arrival caused gasps of admiration in the crowd. As the Indigo Captain, he was considered a county hero. He was popular among women and was often featured in magazines and newspapers.“Sir!” Erica exclaimed. “This man, Tyler Grant, is an ex-convict trying to

“Tyler Grant!” the herald called out. Natalie led Tyler into the banquet hall with linked arms. Guests had already occupied seventy percent of the tables. They felt utterly privileged to be part of the chosen ones and were sorry about those who were turned away.The bigwigs gathered in the hall craned their necks to see who the new entrant was. However, the name ‘Tyler Grant’ was entirely unfamiliar to them.“I’ve never heard of the Grant family. Are they new in Sapphire City?”“Even the Cooper family hasn’t been let inside yet. Is he a bigger deal than them?”“Why is the Anderson heiress walking beside the young man with linked arms? Is he her boyfriend?”“Has Silas already chosen a son-in-law?”While Tyler paid no attention to the intrusive comments, Natalie blushed like a tomato. She took all son-in-law jibes to her heart. The beauty wondered if she would really end up with Tyler as her husband. The prospect of it brought warmth to her heart but also caused her immense anxiety.“Ar

Malcolm turned to his bodyguard and cast a stern look. "Is this true?"Derek, who always had a refined expression, looked quite uncomfortable. He dreaded this moment since he was guilty of insulting the Prince's Chief Guest."Lord Douglas… Please forgive me! The Cooper family misled me to act so horribly. They convinced me that Mr. Grant was a thief and a fraud. Like an utter fool, I fell into their trap and confronted him about it. I am deeply ashamed of my behavior, sir!"Derek bowed to both Malcolm and Tyler for forgiveness. The Prince of Petra scolded him for a minute before turning to Tyler. "Mr. Grant… Do you want this invalid removed from service disgracefully and thrown into prison? Or if you'd suggest a different punishment?"Derek broke into a cold sweat and buried his head in his chest. Tyler shook his head. "Your Captain was only carrying out his duties as your protector. I don't blame him for it.""Still, he offended you, which cannot be forgiven."Tyler raised an eyebrow

Even though they came to dine with the Prince of Petra, their main objective was to tap into new business opportunities.The royal banquet was an excellent platform for launching new deals, signing ambitious projects, and mending broken bridges. The Douglas family’s influence was a protective umbrella under which the builders and traders of the city felt secure and motivated.Michelle excused herself from the central table
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 066 Ironheart
Chet Barker was the leader of the infamous Barker gang he founded. He ruled over the neighboring Jasper City. The man was a ferocious gangster who reigned without mercy or compassion.“Dwayne Mosby!” he hollered. “Just because I went away for a year, you took over Jasper City? How dare you, scoundrel!”Dwayne stepped forward and scoffed. “Chet! You’re a lousy and worthless don who exploited the people of Jasper City for years! Then suddenly, you abandoned the city and disappeared, leaving it open to rebellions and incursions! The citizens begged me to provide them protection in your absence. And now you come here threatening me? Do you have a death wish?”“Lies!” Chet spat. “You’re making up lies to justify usurping my territory! You’ll die for it!”Dwayne waved a dismissive hand. “In the past, you came to my turf challenging me a dozen times and returned defeated and humiliated. Do you have no shame?”“This time, I will return with your severed head!” the gangster declared in fury.D

Chet looked like he had seen a ghost. He withdrew his fist and jumped back a few yards. The man’s eyes darted from Tyler to his own hand in confusion. Did the young man casually stop his powerful ironheart attack? It didn’t even appear he was hurt or budged from his position.Chet had reinforced his fist and intended to land an attack on Dwayne’s chest, crushing his lungs and heart in the process. It would have led to instant death and a triumphant victory for him. However, Tyler’s interference foiled his plan.Did the technique not work last time? Yes, that was more likely.“Who the fuck are you, kid?” Chet demanded. “Are you suicidal or what? Do you want to die for a bastard like Dwayne?”“I plan to live a long life, actually,” Tyler replied calmly.“You got lucky, kid,” the gangster went on. “I was too distracted, and it resulted in the failure of my technique. I am giving you a last chance to run away. If you come in my way again, your death is inevitable!”Tyler took off his coat
