The Invincible Billionaire 11
As Finn stepped into the bar, the vivid glow of neon lights greeted him, while the music reverberated in his ears. His brows knitted in mild annoyance as he looked around.“Is this really the best place for a meeting?” he murmured, barely audible over the noise.“I apologize, Young Master Finn,” a voice replied smoothly from behind. “I had to choose somewhere close to your school.”Finn turned, his gaze falling upon a poised woman seemingly in her late thirties or forties with striking blonde hair that just brushed her neck. Her graceful conduct commanded attention. He had never seen her before but she looked familiar.Finn tilted his head at her. “Really? I'm sure there's also a coffee shop close to my school.”Lena blinked nervously, getting anxious. “Uh… my daughter mentioned that most of the boys from your school frequent this bar, so I just assumed...”“Your daughter?” Finn asked, his brow arching inquisitively.Lena nodded quickly. “Yes, she’s in the same year and department as

“Finn, I knew you were working here! You said you were here to meet someone, didn't you? Were you that ashamed that you had to lie?”The one who spoke was Lara, and she was looking at Finn with a displeased expression.Finn looked at her, casually shoving his hands into his pocket. “Lie? I never did. I just had to help my roommate…”His voice trailed off as something clicked in his head, and his forehead creased.“Vincent, that bastard,” he muttered under his breath with an annoyed look.“What the hell are you saying? Are you trying to come up with more lies to tell?” Lara asked, interrupting his thoughts.Finn answered, “As I've said, I’m not a waiter here. I was just helping someone out.”“Gee, why do you keep lying?” Lara asked in disbelief. “The truth is right in front of us, and you still don't dare to admit it?”“Because there's nothing to admit…”“I know it’s possible you might feel shy, but for someone as poor as you, you should feel lucky to have a part-time job in such a hig

Finn didn't move an inch. “Come on, Finn, don’t be shy,” the guy with earphones teased, his tone oozing mockery. He lifted the glass, the dark liquid catching the light as he swirled it casually. “What are you waiting for? You can drink this. Don’t worry; it won’t make a dent in our pockets.”He leaned forward slightly, the grin on his face widening. “Go ahead, take a sip. Savor it. This is the kind of drink you’ll only ever taste once in your life. I mean, I’m practically making history for you here!”The others around the table chuckled, fueling his arrogance. “Come on,” he pressed, holding the glass out toward Finn. “Live a little.”Finn shook his head, looking uninterested. “Well, I don’t—”Splash!The cold beer hit him square in the face, cutting him off mid-sentence. He instinctively closed his eyes as the liquid dripped down, soaking his shirt.Everyone burst out laughing at the scene.Finn wiped his eyes with a deepening frown, glancing down at his drenched clothes.“Aww, I d

The guy with earphones was Nathan Palace. As the second son of a prominent wine-producing family, he instantly recognized the Château de Nuit red wine and its exclusive reputation. His background made him well-versed in such luxurious products.“Did you just say a hundred thousand?” Lara exclaimed, her tone laced with surprise. “That’s insanely expensive.”Nathan nodded confidently. “Exactly. My family specializes in wine production, so I know these things. Did… did you order it, Lara?”Lara chuckled dismissively. “Nathan, you give me way too much credit. Even if I had that kind of money, I’d spend it on something like fashion, not wine.”Nathan turned to the others. “What about the rest of you? Did anyone order this?”His friends exchanged puzzled glances, shaking their heads in unison, clearly having no idea too.Disappointed, Nathan sighed. A small part of him had hoped someone in their group had made the extravagant purchase, and that was because he had never tasted such wine that

When Finn’s schoolmates heard the manager’s words, it was as if their hearts had leapt out of their chests. Shock was etched on their faces, with Nathan and Lara especially looking completely unhinged.“Wait... what?” Nathan finally blurted out after a long pause, struggling to compose himself. Is this some kind of joke or prank?” he asked the manager incredulously, looking at the manager like he was insane. “Dude, this guy is really poor, so there's no way in hell this guy—this poor guy—ordered Château de Nuit. You must have gotten the wrong person, 'cause I'm telling you, it’s not him.”Lara, snapping out of her own daze, quickly added, “Exactly! This guy? I know him well. He's so poor he can barely afford to exist! There’s no way he could afford a bottle of wine that costs tens of thousands of dollars. This has to be a mix-up! A mistake somewhere.”“And a manager making such a mistake? That’s laughable,” one of the guys added, shaking his head in disappointment.The manager couldn’

“Ah…” Lara screamed as the slap landed, sending her stumbling onto a chair. A bright red handprint could be seen on her face.“That’s a warning,” Lena said icily, her voice sharp and commanding. “Watch your tongue and learn some respect. If I hear anything like that again, I won’t hesitate to make sure you stay silent permanently.”Lara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheek burning with pain. She looked up at the woman who had suddenly appeared and slapped her. She was stunned and humiliated.The others jumped to their feet, alarmed by the sudden turn of events.With a shaky sob, Lara pushed herself off the chair, clutching her cheek. “Who the hell do you think you are?! Who even are you?!” she shouted, her voice trembling with fury. “How dare you… how dare you hit me?! I’ll make sure you pay miserably for this, I promise you! My father is Grant Miller, the owner of Zion Restaurant. Once I report this, you’ll regret it!”“Yes, that’s right,” Nathan quickly backed her up, his tone provok

“Can we be friends?” Nathan asked, his tone unusually sincere, eyes filled with hope. “I promise I can be a good friend—and I know how to earn forgiveness if I’m given the chance.”Nathan’s entire perspective had shifted.Earlier, while heading to the restroom, he stumbled upon the manager speaking to his staff. Curiosity got the better of him, and he quietly eavesdropped on their conversation.The manager spoke with authority. “This is a reminder to all of you—never judge a book by its cover. You all saw that college kid, the one dressed plainly? He’s the boss’s son.”The employees were stunned, but none more than Nathan.‘The boss? Finn is the son of the Neon Bar owner? What does that even mean?’ Nathan thought, bewildered.Then one of the staff finally asked, “Are you saying he’s the incognito son of Baron Lancaster?”Once Nathan heard that, his eyes bulged open and his heart almost stopped. “What?!” he whispered to himself in disbelief. “That can’t be true!”“Yes, exactly,” the ma

Finn had always been aware of his cousin on his mother’s side, Lukas Ashford—the son of Joseph Ashford, his mother’s older brother and the CEO of Ashford Cooperation.The two had only met once, years ago, when they were children.Despite the family connection, Finn’s mother had distanced herself from her family. While the Lancasters and Ashfords initially maintained ties for business purposes, something had caused a rift, leading her to cut ties entirely. Finn never knew the details and didn’t particularly care to find out.Hearing from Nathan that Lukas was attending the same school didn’t faze him. If true, Lukas would graduate in less than a year and leave, making it a non-issue for Finn.Later, when Finn arrived at his dormitory, his phone buzzed with a notification. Pulling it out of his pocket, he noticed a series of messages in the dormitory group chat. One had been sent hours earlier by Jason, one of his roommates:“Hey, guys! I’ve got exciting news—well, maybe not for Finn si

Finn and Jeffer met at a small coffee shop. As soon as Jeffer spotted Finn, he pulled him into a tight hug. “It’s been ages, you silly bastard! Look at you, all grown up!” When he pulled back, his expression turned to a frown as he took in Finn’s appearance. “But seriously, what’s with this look? Are you testing out how pauper clothes look on you?”Finn scoffed, heading straight to the nearest seat. “I never told any of you, but my father punished me for that whole gambling mess.”Jeffer’s eyes widened in surprise as he took the seat opposite Finn. “Really? I remember being shocked, thinking your dad was letting you off too easy as his only son, especially after you lost that insane amount of money the first time. So, he actually punished you, huh? I told you that you were taking it too far.”Finn shook his head, his tone colder now. “I still hold him responsible for my mother’s death, but I have no intention of getting punished again now that the restrictions are gone.”Jeffer nodde

“Who?” Nathan asked as he sat across from Finn at the Neon Bar, where Finn had arranged to meet and discuss something urgent.“A bastard named Galvin Smith,” Finn replied curtly. “I’m sure you’ve heard of him.”Nathan nodded, leaning back. “Yeah, I know that piece of work. That guy’s bad news—definitely not someone to cross,” he said, glancing briefly at the waiter who poured their beers with visibly trembling hands before bowing and walking away quickly.Nathan blinked, noting how cautious everyone seemed around Finn. It still amazed him that Finn was the real deal—a Lancaster hiding in plain sight.“Finn, can I ask something?” Nathan leaned in, curiosity sparking. “Why do you keep such a low profile? No one would guess you’re a Lancaster dressed like this. And your name—Lachlan—that’s not even your last name, right?”Finn scoffed, a faint smirk forming. “That’s my middle name.”“Oh,” Nathan said, realization dawning. “So, you’ve been using your middle name as your last name to keep

Groans and the sound of punches echoed through the room, accompanied by frightened yells.In a campus playroom where the school’s privileged elites gathered to drink, play poker, and indulge in games like darts and billiards, chaos had broken out. A young man lay on the ground near the wall, battered and bleeding as he endured a relentless barrage of punches.“Stop, Galvin! You’re going to kill him!” one of the guys shouted desperately, but Galvin ignored the plea.He just kept punching, and punching mercilessly.Most of the room’s occupants froze, abandoning their games to watch the brutal scene unfold. Those who had been playing darts and other games flinched with every punch that connected, their faces twisted in discomfort and fear—except for one person, who remained disturbingly unaffected.“Lukas! Lukas! Can’t you get him to stop?!” Another guy begged desperately. Lukas, lounging casually on a sofa, barely spared a glance at the scene. His expression remained bored as he saw G

“The police?!” Melanie exclaimed, her voice rising enough to draw Gia and Colette’s attention.Vincent nodded, already pulling out his phone. “Yes, let’s call them or go to the station. This is exactly what the police are for.”“Are you guys dumb?” Finn asked them with a frown. “The police won’t do anything about this.”“And why wouldn't they, Mr. Know-it-all? Isn’t this the perfect situation for law enforcement to intervene?” Vincent asked him.Gia sniffled quietly and spoke up, her voice hoarse from crying. “Finn’s right. Calling them is pointless.” She slowly sat up, her tear-streaked face pale and her red, puffy eyes revealing her exhaustion.Colette handed her a tissue, and Gia wiped her face as she continued with a trembling voice. “If we involve the police… it’ll only make things even more troublesome.”Colette shot the boys a furious glare. “You guys are just so stupid! I don't even know what you're doing here! How could you possibly think involving the police is a good idea,

Intrigued, Finn and Vincent headed back to their dorm, eager to hear what Jason had to say.“So, what’s the deal with that rich girl?” Vincent asked as he settled on his bed.Jason chuckled, shaking his head in a mocking way. “You know I really find this funny. This is to show you that nobody knows tomorrow. A reminder that no one’s untouchable. Sure, someone might be rich, but there’s always someone above them. Even the Nexus Group has to answer to a higher power. God.”Vincent raised an eyebrow. “God? Not even the president?”Jason burst into laughter. “Oh, Vincent, you’re so clueless. Politicians rely on the wealthy. Think about it—without rich backers, where would they get funding for their campaigns or projects? There are so many corrupt politicians, and the president’s no exception! Haha! It’s all about who holds the purse strings,” he scoffed.Finn frowned, his curiosity deepening. “Are you implying the president of Nexus Group is corrupt?”Jason shrugged casually. “I’m not try

Finn couldn't help but sigh when Angela came after him. He leaned back in his chair, and lowered his gaze, having nothing to say to her. “I’m talking to you, you bastard!” she snapped, slamming her hands on his desk. The sudden noise grabbed everyone’s attention, including Dana and also Lara, whose tear-streaked face turned toward the commotion.“Hey, aren’t you Nick’s cousin? What could Finn have done to make you barge into our lecture room like this?” a guy in the class asked, his tone curious but skeptical.Angela scoffed, her finger pointing at Finn with unrestrained contempt. “Because of this bastard—” she began, but her voice faltered as a sudden realization struck. If she revealed too much, everyone would find out about her embarrassing failure to pay for the lavish meal she’d treated her friends to at Palate Haven.Her eyes darted around nervously, and a flurry of thoughts ran through her mind. ‘I can’t humiliate myself further than I already have.’Nick raised a mocking ey

“Was that the case or were you actually trying to hit me?” Finn asked, his tone calm and his expression blank. “Because last I checked, I was on the pedestrian path, and you were the one out of your lane.”Jerome raised an eyebrow and smirked mockingly. “Don’t say something stupid! I can drive in whatever lane I please and people like you are the ones to scram when you see an Audi driving your way! But no—you just fucking stood there like some statue! What’s wrong with you?! Do you have a death wish?!”Finn let out a dry scoff, shaking his head. “People like me, huh? It’s enough to know that this was on purpose. You wanted to run me over. I should be the one asking you what the fucking hell is wrong with you?!”Jerome let out a cold, mocking laugh, looking at him with a condescending gaze. In a low, menacing tone, he said, “And what if I did try to run you over? There's nothing fucking wrong with me and I'm as sane as ever, you worthless idiot! What could you possibly do if I really d

The boys returned to the dormitory and Jason turned to look at Finn who was behind him. Who would have thought Finn was such a pushover with the kind of attitude he had?Jason gave him a grateful look, patting his arm and keeping his hand there for emphasis. “I don’t know how you managed to get such an expensive wine, but thanks for keeping quiet. You’re a good friend, Finn. You didn’t let me down, and now Melanie thinks the world of me.”Finn’s face remained stoic as he brushed Jason’s hand off. “Whatever,” he replied curtly.Jason chuckled, loving how he could get away with anything. “You know, for what it’s worth, Finn, that girl, Gia, I think she likes you. I mean, the way she was looking at you? Man, I’d say you’ve hit the jackpot.”Finn frowned as he made his way to sit on his bed. “Hmm. I don't think so. She was probably just being friendly.”Jason laughed, shaking his head in amusement as he found Finn funny. “You really know nothing, Finn. Were you blind not to notice that sh
