Sebastian immediately stood up from his seat. It was astounding to see the card Aldrich was holding, even though he couldn't have that black card. A card with a very high limit, and only wealthy people can have it.

"Sebastian, what are you doing?" asked Vera worriedly. She also stood up and held Sebastian's shoulder. Then she looked back at Aldrich, who was dealing the cards in his hand.

"Your partner is very good at deception, Selena."

Selena immediately looked at Vera and Sebastian, who were next to Vera. He stared in surprise and blinked his eyes slowly.

"What do you mean, Vera?" Selena replied to Vera's words. She was actually startled by what Aldrich showed. She had heard of the black card but couldn't accept Vera's terms.

"You and your partner are very much the same. You're both a con artist and a thief; just like you, that useless man performs a charade using that fake card."

Aldrich grinned in response to Vera's remark. It was ridiculous to Aldrich but not to Vera; what Aldric

    "You managed to make a deal with Maxian, Selena?" Berthan was surprised by what he had just heard.He was looking at Selena enthusiastically, which was highly frowned upon by Claire and Charlotte. Selena should not be getting attention from her father."That's right, if Selena gets the cooperation, she'll get a big lake favor." Aldrich helped Selena to show off her work.Aldrich accidentally saw Claire and Charlotte, who were silent in the dining area with annoyed faces."Ah, that must be a lie. You know, dear that Selena is a person who lacks socialization. How could she convince the company to cooperate?" Claire held Berthan's hand. She was seducing him into believing her.Berthan himself did not know about hearing that from Selena. He underestimated Selena, his illegitimate child who never gathered in formal family events like Charlotte. If it was her legitimate child, she, with a great circle of friends, would certainly be able to get such cooperation.Berthan nodded. "Right, ther

    In the room, Selena was stunned by what Aldrich had done. She didn't expect Aldrich to behave like this, which heated things even more. Aldrich should not have behaved like this so that her father would not have to evict them from the Ledger family home. "Selena, pack up your things, we need to get out of here. No one wants to receive us here." Aldrich was calm. His eyes glinted at Selena's room. This room could have been a better one, a simple-looking room with straightforward furniture in it as well. They didn't consider Selena their child, even though Selena was illegitimate, but Selena had the name Ledger behind her. Aldrich exhaled. He was pretty sorry for the woman who was going to marry him."Aldrich, it's better now that we meet with Father again ask." She was very hesitant about running away from this house. Her father would surely make them already, and then Claire and Charlotte would make it even more challenging than this."I don't want to, Selena. We didn't do anythin

    In the morning, Aldrich was getting ready to drive Selena to her office. After dropping Selena off later, Aldrich had other businesses to see the land he was going to build as one of the big companies in this city. The two of them were ready. Both of them had come out of the elevator to the parking lot. A red car had just entered, a car with a horse emblem and an open roof. The driver was a woman. She accidentally bumped into Aldrich's father's car, much to the surprise of Aldrich and Selena, who had just exited the parking lot. The woman exited the car in a hurry, looked at her car, and then back at Aldrich's car. "Who the hell put this ugly car here? It's just in my way!" the woman yelled. She was angry about the scuffs on her car. The paint was chipping a bit, giving her a headache. After several years of saving up, she could finally own this sports car, and the sports car she had taken so much care of was damaged like this. He blamed it all on the parked car. The worse car mu

    Hearing Aldrich's threat made Tiana and the two security guards laugh. They watched Aldrich and Selena act up once, and Tiana kicked the car next to her."You're very good at leading things. Now you're threatening me and these two security guards if you dare to drive you away?" Tiana girded her loins as she said it harshly. She still looked at Aldrich fiercely because this man was unexpected."Don't dream. Humans like you should, of course leave here while I am the one who lives here. I pay the fees and it's not a small amount of money, so don't make me angry and get out of here!" Tiana snapped back. This was the first time she'd seen a cheap car here, and of course, the people living in the luxury apartments here weren't people who couldn't afford a luxury car."Yes Miss, what Miss said is absolutely true, these must be two con artists who broke into this apartment. We should report them to the police."The security guard glanced at her. He loved to belittle others when he was in a v

    Ozil was very surprised to see Aldrich in front of him. He expected the two security guards working there to separate from the most powerful person."Mr. Ozil, why are you apologizing to him? He's an intruder and a fraud!" Tiana shouted, not accepting what she had just seen. This was strange because Ozil should apologize to her, not to a man with a cheap car.Ozil ignored Tiana. Cold sweat appeared on his hands. He couldn't even lift his face in fear of Aldrich."Sir, this man and that woman entered here by force. They made a mess," Ben spoke. He explained everything for Ozil to understand.Aldrich's appearance might look extraordinary, like a rich man, but Ben was very sure that the clothes he wore were cheap to cover his true identity. His boss did not need to apologize to such an insignificant man."Yes, there are so many shameless people now, they pretend to be poor. We'll take him and drag him roughly, Mr. Ozil. Leave it to us."Gary spoke. He truly believed what he was doing wou

    "Why have you started working without my permission?" someone shouted. His voice sounded so booming that everyone stopped what they were doing momentarily."I-I'm just working according to the rules and proper working hours." The worker facing that person looked terrified.Aldrich, who was curious, sharpened his senses of hearing and vision towards the direction where the voice came from. There was another shouting voice that made him a little surprised. "You can't work until you give me the money, damn it!"Aldrich was surprised to see several people harassing one of the project workers. They were dressed in plain clothes with tattoos drawn on several parts of the five men's bodies.Aldrich's eyes widened when the big man's hand was about to land a punch on the worker. "Stop it! What are you doing?"The big man paused momentarily before punching the worker's cheek. He looked at Aldrich, as did the other thugs. "Whoa, who's there?"The worker was so frightened that his body was trembl

    All the scientists were shocked. They looked at each other, then looked at Aldrich with disbelief. One of them remembered something. He looked at his three colleagues with a frown. "Didn't we hear some time ago that a great man would come here and help fund our project?"The young researcher who had rejected Aldrich earlier agreed with his colleague's words. "Yes, you're right. But is it really him? Just look at his appearance. It's not convincing."The researchers noticed Aldrich's modest appearance, which did not reflect that of a typical rich man. The senior researcher, who had agreed to accept the offer made by Aldrich, looked at his three colleagues with a neutral gaze. "But appearances don't always reflect what a person has. We also don't know if that person is really the one mentioned by the leader to fund our project.""Yes, he's right. We can't judge someone by their appearance alone. It could just be because it's his day off." The middle-aged researcher tried to think positi

    "Help us! Anybody, please come here! Someone out of their mind is vandalizing our car." Charlotte continued to scream for help as Aldrich smashed rocks against Jake's windshield, making the sound of shattering glass loud and frightening Charlotte.Jake tried to hit Aldrich, but Aldrich dodged and was much more potent than expected. Quickly, Aldrich counterattacked Jake. Aldrich twisted Jake's arm, pulled it, and slammed Jake's body to the ground.Jake winced in pain as his back hit the floor with the rocks on it. "Damn it! Damn, my back hurts like hell."Not letting Jake continue to babble, Aldrich returned the attack to the man by stomping on Jake's foot, causing the man to cry out in pain. Jake tried to get up and move his legs to make Aldrich fall, but unfortunately, he was already in so much pain that he could not sit up."Hey, let go of him, damn it!" Charlotte tried to help Jake by beating on Aldrich's arm, but Aldrich didn't budge.Charlotte panicked as she saw her lover wincin

    He quickly dismounted, and the servant immediately took the horse that Jun had just given them. Without saying anything else, he immediately went in to see the birth of his nephew.He could not pass up such a wonderful thing and would envy others for being present at the birth of the future successor to this great family. As he walked into the house, many servants seemed to be busy arranging things for the birth of their young master.A servant had met Jun and had directed him to another area, one that was dedicated as a hospital-like setting for the Goldstein family.He arrived at a bustling scene of people at the front door where Aldrich, who she had not expected to be this busy, was seen. The man walked from one side to the other repeatedly, which was very different from how he always acted.Jun was already there and spoke while looking at her friend. "Calm down, you better sit down now," Jun spoke but was stared at coldly by Aldrich. He did not listen to what his friend was saying

    The loud gunfire was heard, and the birds in other parts of the place flew into the sky because they heard the great sound of gunfire. They sensed danger with just such a thing. The figure who had just shot noticed his target, who had fallen to the ground and was covered in blood. On the horse, he looked back coldly."Oh yes, you are perfect indeed. Look at you taking down a huge deer." Jun exhaled. Even though he had gotten a deer earlier, its size was very far compared to what Aldrich was getting now.Aldrich walked leisurely towards her immobilized quarry, followed by Jun. "You can't beat me any day." The man who heard it immediately nodded his head. He did not expect such a thing at all because he was the one who observed Aldrich most closely.The two men were hunting in the area of the Goldstein family home. This forest-filled and vast area had intentionally wild animals, when they were in space, the family usually would spend time hunting here. And the two of them met because th

    This was their first meeting for two months, even when her brother was not married, the woman could not come because there was something she had to do. Her appearance in front of Selena surprised Selena a little. Because Olivia's appearance looked different from the last time they had seen each other. The woman was indeed badly injured from fighting the aliens. After that, she healed herself and trained herself.Her skin looked very charming, exotic brown, and her hair was short. But she still had a distinctive smile on her face when greeting Selena. "Good to see you again, Selena."They met without the presence of Kate. Olivia immediately saw Selena's large beak, and she smiled. "It's nice to give that little one a world of peace."Selena nodded her head, and she rubbed her stomach a few times. "This is because of Aldrich's hard work." every time she thought of Aldrich, there were many things that the man had done. He was a very stubborn and hard-working person, such a great figure t

    When they arrived, manyny people immediately saw them, they had attracted the attention of those there. No one did not know their names because of what they did. Especially Aldrich Goldstein. That man was the main star of the day, but he was still very eye-catching.The starring figure smiled a little at the altar where the wedding was taking place. He was holding the hand of the woman who was his partner, just now the two of them had kissed because their marriage had become legal.Now, they were moving away from that place, the hall of the enormous party venue. "Look at them dancing. They're so good together." Selena spoke, glancing at Kate and Jun, dancing in the hall's center. Everyone was watching them and debating about it."Yeah," Aldrich didn't know what to make of the sight that didn't interest him.After the dance was over, many people were also left to dance, and it was at this time, Aldrich reached out to Selena. "What's wrong?" Asked Selena, looking confused."Dancing, of

    Although the alien attack ended a few months ago, that did not mean Aldrich would not think about it anymore. In fact, this man was already preparing in case they came back to Earth one day."All the stones from the Sea have been removed, Master. And a search for patterns or something strange is also underway." Pedro gave information to Aldrich."Do it well." he only replied briefly because he knew his people were working well. From a distance, he could see his men doing their job.Now, she refocused on the figure in front of her. She looked calm as she took a sip of her hot coffee. "You've been so busy, even though it was only a few months ago, and you were appointed world leader. Aren't you tired?" Jun questioned that he was watching his friend closely. Perhaps the question was a little mundane because he knew the answer."This is the perfect time for me to build something bigger, something they can't interfere with. And show what the Goldstein family is capable of," he answered wit

    Two months after the alien attack was over, the construction of the places affected by the alien attack had been completed. People could live as before, full of purpose, and their ambitions were as before, wanting a better life.And the figure who had achieved his goal was standing confidently as his presence without saying anything made others bow to him. He was Aldrich Goldstein, having earned the position he wanted as the world leader because of his merit and outstanding hard work. The people admired him greatly, and it was the people who pushed him to become a leader that no one could challenge."It's just as you said, Aldrich. You don't need to interfere anymore is that it's the people who moved to get you into that position." Selena complimented her husband, who had just approached her.The man had just given a speech on his appointment as the world leader, and now he was sitting back together with Selena. The look in his eyes was still so calm. "Yes, that's smart work." He admi

    A flurry of activity was happening worldwide, especially in the city that had just been attacked. They immediately cleaned up, and their mouths did not stop talking as they witnessed something crazy.Those crazy reporters captured a video that was incredible to all the people of the world. Something that they could not defeat. Even their government had been defeated by a man who was the 8th leader of the Necton region."If those reporters hadn't been reckless like this, we wouldn't have known about the service he has rendered." a woman spoke, her cell phone still in hand. She and her friend were witnessing something truly crazy.The woman nodded her head. "That's right, Mr. Aldrich has defeated the alien with his own hands. But unfortunately, that last part is all they got." the woman exhaled, still feeling confused, but that's why they slowly returned to normal life.Because of that incident and the scattered footage, people called the aliens heroes. They admired that figure so much

    The ground was hollowed out from the powerful push from above. People could feel the vibrations. A woman in a shelter, in a bunker belonging to the Goldstein family, watched this battle uneasily from the large screen in front of her.The still injured Yesi and the many servants ready to guard Selena were beside her. They were always prepared to do anything in case something bad happened. As for Jose, he was the one who organized the movements of the people and robots that assisted Aldrich.Selena's eyes did not move. She wanted to know what happened there until finally, the observation camera they flew could capture what happened next. Selena just smiled when she saw her husband still standing and deflecting the attack the aliens gave.Agnius looked again at that, not expecting that the powerful fist he had just done could not succeed against Aldrich. Just as he had parried Agnius' hand, he suddenly changed his movements, making him take off with that and immediately slammed him to the

    The explosion was huge, and it made the surroundings tremble. People had run to find a safe place because they did not want to die so easily in the face of something they could not face.But something shocking happened in front of Agnius' eyes again, in front of stronger ones. And just then there was a retaliation that happened to them, the airplane they were traveling in was suddenly shot at and crashed."T-this... is impossible!""Maintain balance!"The noisy voices were heard, and they immediately gave orders and looked panicked. Inside the plane, they experienced quite a strong pressure. Not what they thought.How could humans do something like this to them?Now their plane was falling down, surrounded by many robots. The robots immediately launched their action to dismantle the plane. So, the aliens inside grabbed their weapons to face the robots.With their abilities, ten aliens made the robots fall to the ground immediately. They blew them up with hand gestures. But the many ro
