The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 063 Royal Welcome
“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

The royal banquet resumed with even livelier spirits than before. Delicious foods were served, and the most expensive liquor flowed. The musicians started playing more upbeat tunes.In the beginning, many eminent guests rose and made toasts to the Prince and his beautiful granddaughter. Malcolm stood up and delivered a touching speech about Sapphire City’s bright future. It was one of the most successful social events of the decade for Sapphire City.Subsequently, the guests broke into small groups, taking up tables or corners of the hall for private conversations. 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
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 067 Fake Martial Artist
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
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 068 Hidden Villain
Dwayne Mosby stepped forward and applauded Tyler. “What a marvelous display of your strength, sir! I feel so privileged to see you in action!”Even Malcolm was flabbergasted. “I was already aware of your superhuman abilities, Mr. Grant. But the way you handled Chet and his arrogance was truly spectacular. Criminals like him need to be put down before they harm lawful citizens. It was noble of you to give him a painless death.”While Tyler deserved credit for humbling Chet Barker’s fake martial arts, he had no intention of claiming responsibility for his demise.“Actually, I did not attempt to kill Chet. He died under the influence of an outside force.”The Prince of Petra exchanged confused glances with Dwayne. “What do you mean? Are you saying somebody else killed him?”Tyler eyed the villain’s corpse with intrigue and nodded. “Chet Barker was a fake. He was indeed trained in the physical aspects of martial arts but had no mystical power to speak of. His Ironheart technique didn’t be
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 069 The Fabled Monk
Tyler was taken aback by Derek's abrupt submission to him. "Train you? Take you under my wing? I don't see how the Captain of the mighty Indigo Order could learn anything from an ex-convict?"The Indigo Captain lowered his eyes as he recalled he had tried to humiliate Tyler with similar words. "I have fought in brutal wars and survived hundreds of deathly battles. However, never have I come across someone as gifted in martial arts as you are. I recognize you as truly strong, Mr. Grant. On the other hand, I found myself grossly incompetent to protect the Prince when faced with the lunatic Chet Barker. It brought shame to me and my order. Acknowledging my weaknesses, I submit myself to your tutelage. I want to become stronger to be worthy of being the Prince's royal guard again. Please accept me as a student!""But-"Malcolm smiled warmly and spoke up. "Mr. Grant… If you are worried about my safety, that is unnecessary. I will take up residence with Michelle in the Crest Tier of Sterling
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 070 Party Is Over
Tyler briskly walked down the hotel corridor as if he had tunnel vision. His mind was preoccupied with what Hugh Grant told him. His mother could miraculously walk again? How was that possible?Tyler had ascertained through Chiron's Eye that Ruth's condition wasn't easily reversible. Even the most advanced surgery in the world couldn't fix her legs. Something only of the power scale of a chakra needle could heal her.Natalie, who had been running away from Tyler, noticed him approaching from behind."I'm not talking to you!" she declared innocently, pouting like a little girl. "That was a cheap prank! Don't come near me, or I'll scream!"However, Tyler didn't even notice the young woman on his path. He brushed past her and headed towards the exit.Natalie was both embarrassed and intrigued by his behavior. What happened to him suddenly? He was in a happy, flirtatious mood a minute back.Natalie caught up to Tyler near the main gate. It was already past dawn, and the morning sun cast a
