The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 105 Cinderella Trap
The elevator hissed open to reveal a well-furnished lobby. Tyler had expected an unruly place, but it looked pretty sophisticated. The Baileys and Red Vipers had built a good facade for their shady businesses.Tyler and Isabella walked out of the lift, but Barney looked terrified and refused to exit. At the last moment, he slipped into the lobby reluctantly."I rue the hour you joined Skyline Insurance and became my partner," he told Tyler under his breath. "I was doomed to die right then!"Tyler chuckled and shook his head lightly. He was surprised that Barney had followed him that far. Having low expectations of people was always rewarding.Tyler approached the reception desk. The staff of Cinderella Fashion Agency were mostly beautiful females—young women who didn't look like they were from Sapphire City. Barney was momentarily transfixed and wondered if he had accidentally stepped into heaven.Actually, some of the staff appeared foreign and exotic. Were they hired from among traf
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 106 Cinderella Trap 2
Isabella used to work at Cinderella Dance Bar. Still, she had the wrong impression that the Baileys, a respectable billionaire group, ran it. She had no idea the Sapphire City branch of the Red Vipers Gang was what constituted the Bailey family of two brothers.Connor ran the Cinderella dance bar while his elder brother, Draven, managed the fashion agency. Together, they put up a facade of business and profits, whereas their primary income was from illegal activities. The Bailey family was founded a couple of years back and suddenly rose to prominence.Tyler overlooked Barney's outburst but answered Isabella's question."Yes, of course, we'll get recompensation from the Baileys. First, I must have a polite conversation with the family head. Why don't you and Barney rest on the waiting couch? I'll call you inside when it's the right time.""Alright." Isabella looked slightly unsatisfied with the answer but followed Tyler's instructions anyway. With so many onlookers, it was not the tim
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 107 Compensation
In the back office, Tyler looked around at the money safes. “So you keep all your cash in here? You don’t even lock the safes?”Draven Bailey scoffed. “Who would dare to steal from the Red Viper Gang? Do they want to die a premature death? Not even the cops would raid our place.”Tyler sighed. The Red Vipers were not based out of Sapphire City. Draven’s lair was a small branch of the dominant gang. Since it generated sound and consistent illicit income, Red Vipers allowed the Baileys to borrow their name and influence. That was enough for the authorities not to intervene.“You did a good job fooling Isabella into my den,” Draven added. “Are you looking for a job? I can offer you a salary of five thousand dollars for helping me with the scams. Moreover, you can have any of the trafficked girls every night. What do you say?”“About that,” Tyler said, finally tired of the pretense. He slowly rose from his seat.“It’s time to tell you the truth. I am really from Skyline Insurance and came
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 108 Invincible
Over twenty vicious gangsters surrounded Tyler immediately. They whipped out knives, baseball bats, and crowbars and tensed their muscles to attack him.An average guy would be petrified of facing such intimidating goons. But Tyler chuckled at the mob before him.“Don’t you see I almost stuck a pin in your pig boss? Do you guys want to end up maimed or handicapped like him? I give you a chance to surrender and talk peacefully. Don’t be an idiot like your boss; take it and survive!”Mick gritted his teeth viciously. “You son of a bitch! You dared to hurt Mr. Bailey while his back was turned! Do you think that is bravado? He would crush you in a one-on-one fight!”Tyler broke into laughter and pointed a mocking finger at Draven Bailey. “Tell that to your boss’ pants! He wet himself like an infant. Get him a diaper for his next birthday!”The entire Red Vipers gang subconsciously turned their gazes to their boss’ clothes. Indeed, the crotch was wet, which suggested he had peed himself. W
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 109 Barney’s Day
“Fucking bitch!” Connor barked. “You escaped last night because your boyfriend had the element of surprise. But I won’t let you get away now!”Isabella struggled with the man, but his grasp on her arm was too firm. “Let me go!” she fired back. “I no longer work for you! Now I know all about your illicit businesses. Prepare to be raided by the police!”Connor cackled aloud. “The authorities are in my pocket. I pay them huge bribes to turn a blind eye to the Bailey businesses. Now stop struggling; come with me willingly, or I’ll punch you unconscious! From today, I’ll keep you chained in the dance bar! Prepare to live the life of a sex slave!”Connor had been waiting for Isabella outside the Cinderella agency building. Mick had tipped him off the moment Tyler showed signs of causing trouble. However, Mick was no longer receiving calls or responding to messages.Connor was shocked to see Isabella leaving the building with a large bag that belonged to the Red Vipers Gang. When he accosted

Zip! Something ripped into Connor’s leg. He staggered back and leaned on one of his goons to stay upright. Howling in pain, he picked at the object lodged in his thigh. Surprisingly, it was a paper plane.“What the-? How the-?” Connor stammered in confusion. How could a simple paper plane injure him? What was going on?”Boss! That guy threw the paper thing at you!” one of his goons snapped, pointing toward the building entrance.Connor raised his eyes to see Tyler Grant smirking from a distance. “I told you it wasn’t over, Conny. I would have eventually come for you. But it seems you want to expedite your death!”“You!” Connor fired back. “You hurt me last night and stole my girl! Now you will pay for it with your life!”Tyler laughed aloud. “Your girl? Do you think women can remotely like an ugly creep like you? Even a berserk chimp wouldn’t throw its shit on your face!”“Motherfuc-!” Connor exploded in anger and turned to his goons. “What are you waiting for, idiots?! Kill him!”Ove
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 111 The Stalker
Tyler rushed to the open-air market near Sterling Hill. It was a place where local farmers, artisans, vendors, and dealers set up shops. One could find stationery, fruits, vegetables, hardware, fast food, and most general supplies and services there. Rows upon rows of variety shops were sprawled over a quarter mile area. It was a decent place for youngsters to hang out. Tyler reached the cosmetics shop where Tracy was waiting for him. From the distance, he could tell she was concerned and on the verge of panic. Who was following her? Was a member of the Hux gang still alive? Was Rollo Grant involved? Or was it one of his new enemies? The young man decided to catch the culprit before approaching Tracy. However, spotting a stranger in a bustling, noisy crowd was like finding a needle in a haystack. Tyler activated Athena's Insight, turning his vision and hearing into a supernatural scanner. His pupils moved with lightning speed while his ears picked up every sound. The combined feedb

Tyler racked his brain for an excuse. “Err… Well… On your behalf, I applied for a companion scheme launched by the city government. They hire celebrities to spend time with differently-abled people. Even though the condition of your legs is temporary, you are qualified for the scheme. Mr. Derek Sentinel was randomly allocated to you.” While Tyler appeared satisfied with his made-up excuse, his sister took a few moments to process the information. A look of irritation appeared on her usually cheerful face. “Have you already started treating me like a cripple? I hate you!” Tyler realized his insensitive excuse enraged Tracy instead of soothing her nerves. He opened his mouth to argue, but Derek stepped forward before he could say anything. The Indigo Captain bowed courteously to Tracy and took the liberty of delicately holding her hand. He offered a charming smile, leaned forward, and kissed her hand in a chivalrous manner. “It is a pleasure to meet you, my lady…” he said in a dreami
