The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 116 Compensation
Tyler's face didn't betray his thoughts. However, he could sympathize with Natalie's sentiments. The circumstantial evidence was unfairly stacked against him. His activities would look really suspicious to an outsider."What if Bella is my lover and I frequent strip bars?" Tyler asked her sharply. "Why does it bother you?"The heiress' eyes widened. Did the young man openly admit the truth? Moreover, he referred to Isabella as Bella, indicating that the two were intimate. Why else would Tyler use a nickname of endearment for a bar dancer? It was the final nail in her trust's coffin."Huh? So, you no longer care about keeping your nighttime adventures a secret? To make matters worse, did you bring Isabella to my company as an employee? Do you want to carry on your perverse activities here as well?"Natalie was trembling with emotion. Her worst fears about Tyler had just been realized."You didn't answer my question," Tyler posed again without emotion. "What if you are right?"The young
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 117 The Treat
Nobody else present knew Tyler had enough wealth even to purchase Hilton Plaza. Booking a few tables would be spare change for him.But he had better places to be and had no interest in spending money on treating strangers, especially when a degenerate like Clyde Smith was taking the lead and coercing him into it. Besides, Isabella and Barney barely had the resources to sponsor a party at the extravagant Hilton Plaza.Tyler was about to turn down the idea when Jennifer chimed in."Congratulations, Tyler! Sorry for the confusion and rudeness earlier. Let me take this opportunity to tell you that the entire claims department is proud of you! All we are asking for is a simple treat at Hilton Plaza. It is the perfect place for a celebration!"While Jennifer's suggestion received unanimous support from the other employees, Barney spoke up with a frown. "Are you kidding me, Jennifer? Do you even know what the Hilton Plaza is? It is ridiculously expensive, and only filthy rich people frequen
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 118 Hazing
As liquor continued to flow, the group became casual with each other and began to chat in smaller parties. They talked about their back-breaking work, low salaries, and so on.Clyde and Jennifer retreated to a corner, making out shamelessly. So did other younger couples in the group. The expensive wine and glamorous ambiance made everyone horny. Isabella saw the public display of affection and blushed, while Tyler was basically unperturbed. He just wanted the party to end soon."Jen… I need a favor," Clyde whispered into his girlfriend's ear."What is it?" Jennifer asked. She hoped he wouldn't ask her for sex all of a sudden.Clyde wasn't exactly an attractive man in appearance or personality. She stuck to him for her underserved job and romantic gifts. The young woman allowed Clyde to kiss and touch her, but that is where she drew the line. Even intoxicated with liquor, Jennifer couldn't sleep with him."I want you to spill a drink on Isabella…" Clyde whispered."But why?" she asked
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 119 Voyeur
“Don’t worry about it,” Isabella said, seeing Tyler lost in thought. She wrapped his coat tighter around herself. With only a bra inside, the fabric felt rough on her smooth, exposed skin. However, the coat warmed her as if she were swaddled in a thick blanket.Isabella’s anxiety and uncertainty vanished magically. She thought it was because of Tyler’s presence only. Little did the beauty know that the remnants of mystical energy in his coat were healing her.Isabella tugged at the young man’s sleeve. “Let’s go back to the party. I’m feeling better now.”“Could you continue without me?” Tyler replied, visibly distracted. “I will be right back. I‘ll hand over your wet shirt to the attendant in the lobby. They’ll dry wash it, and we’ll collect it before leaving. ”“Sure…” the young woman replied with a shrug. “Come soon. I feel lonely in the Skyline group.”As soon as Isabella left, Tyler proceeded to the plaza’s junction. It had four corridors leading to different sections of the estab
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 120 Merciful God
"Please!" Jasper begged as blood and tears mixed under his eyes. "Don't kill me!"Tyler's face was an impenetrable mask. "An innocent woman's honor means nothing to you! Scum like you don't deserve to live!""Please! I have a wife and kids!" the man wailed. "They will be helpless without me! Have mercy!"Tyler paused and lowered his hand. He went into reflection. Had he ever considered the repercussions of killing a stranger? The young man had wiped out the Hux gang because they kidnapped and were about to violate his sister. But what about their families?In human society, crime was penalized based on the severity of actions. The punishment wasn't decided based on how it would affect the convict's family. Undoubtedly, the Grants weren't spared when Tyler was falsely accused and sent to prison. Then why should anybody else get relief from the sword of justice?But then, was Jasper's crime severe enough to warrant death? Was Tyler merciless because the victim
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 121 Overcharged
"Two hundred thousand?" Barney exclaimed, jumping to his feet. "Did we hire the entire plaza for a day or what?"Isabella also spoke up excitedly. "We've been calculating prices from the menu, mister! It sums up to about fifty grand. Just because this is our first time at Hilton Plaza doesn't mean you'll trick and overcharge us! That's unfair and illegal!""Please keep your voice down," the maître d' said condescendingly. "This is the elite Hilton Plaza and not your daily flea market of the suburbs! Here, you can't haggle and bargain like peasants to reduce the prices! The final bill is accurate and inflexible! You must pay it, or you are looking at a lot of trouble!"Tyler put a reassuring hand over Barney's shoulder and made him sit down. He then took the maître d's bill and pored over it."Hmm. Could you explain why the final bill is so high? Our group consumed food and wine equivalent only to a small buffet. How did you arrive at the bill prices almost three to four times the actu
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 122 Hephaestus’ Touch
Tyler nodded silently, much to the surprise of everyone else. They wondered what possessed him to accept such a challenge.Boons Hilton scoffed and approached the young man. He took the GIB card from him and walked over to the POS machine."Tyler, don't risk everything like this," Isabella murmured with concern. However, a reassuring look from him gave her a pause.The young man had walked into Cinderella Bar and Agency, gone against the Red Viper Gang, and survived. It was time for Isabella to show some faith. She nodded at him with a look that said I TRUST YOU.Boons swiped the GIB card with a smug expression. He entered the bill amount and pressed the OK button, tapping his nails on the table expectantly. Finally, the task the boss had allotted him would be complete. Once the payment failed, he could order the bouncers to beat up Tyler.Everyone else present waited with bated breath. They wondered if Tyler really had the funds to pay two hundred grand.Perhaps he was using his fath
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 123 The Cavalry
All it took was a split second. Nobody saw it coming. One moment, Tyler’s fate appeared to be sealed. The next moment, the baton-wielding guards found themselves on the floor, writhing in pain. They had swollen and bloody faces and broken and bruised limbs, and their weapons lay abandoned and shattered.What the hell happened?Tyler stood in place, not even having broken sweat. He smiled ever so slightly as if he knew the consequences already.“Do you guys want more?” he asked the guards coldly. “Or have you given up?”Tyler had chosen not to kill anybody in the presence of innocents. The battered men wailed out in misery.“No, please! Mercy!”“It hurts!”“We made a mistake!”They crawled out on all fours or staggered out on twos from the hall. They were burly, intimidating men just a moment back. Now, they had been reduced to worms and mice.Boons Hilton’s jaw looked like it was heading to the floor in shock. Even Tyler’s colleagues were bewildered beyond belief. Whatever happened was
