Andre smiled in triumph. He didn’t have to waste his energy arguing with these arrogant rich folks. He was lucky Bella had taken his card; otherwise, he would surely have been humiliated and thrown out yet again.Claudia’s pleas and attempts to curry favor with Bella proved futile.Bella felt not an ounce of sympathy for her. Instead, she took Andre’s hand and led him into her private office.After typing away on her computer for a while, Bella finally smiled. “Mr. Andre, this card is indeed registered to you, with a balance of 20 trillion. Any further information will be provided to you later by Ms. Sofia.”“Hmm, interesting,” Andre replied.“Is there anything else I can assist you with?”“Yes. Please prepare a regular bank card for me, without any Platina branding, and load it with four trillion.”Platina Bank held full authority over all national banks, with the power to issue any type of card. After transferring the balance, Andre returned to the Division Two headquarters, waking
Boris and Andre both wore dark sunglasses. If Boris were to take his glasses off, Daniel would recognize him instantly. They disguised themselves to see how Daniel would treat his guests. All of this was because Heaven Garden, the luxurious villa complex, was in collaboration with Golden Dragon for property and secret base development. General Zhang Ze had ordered them to conceal their identities for the visit.Ding!A message arrived on Boris’s phone as he walked a few steps behind Daniel. It was from Sofia, and Boris promptly handed the phone to Andre.“The General wants to test how professionally Daniel handles guests. If he disrespects visitors, General Zhang Ze won’t hesitate to cut ties. And tell Andre not to flaunt the Platinum Black Card unless Daniel’s behavior really gets out of hand.”Andre nodded as he read the message.Noticing that his two guests were trailing behind, Daniel turned around.“Come on, let me show you the ultra-luxurious villa you requested. But once again,
“Hmm?” Andre looked down at Daniel, indifferent.For the last three years, he had endured the taunts and scorn of the Randana Family and even ridicule at his workplace, where he was treated as a parasite.Now was his chance to put anyone who dared demean him back in their place.“Forget just Phoenix Villa—I could buy up all of Heaven Garden’s assets in an instant if you were willing to sell them!” Andre raised his voice, proving he held the upper hand here.“I sincerely apologize for my poor behavior, sir. I didn’t realize you were the legendary Zero. It’s an honor, as the owner of Heaven Garden, to host you, Sir Zero, who’s known so widely among the billionaire circles.”Andre calmed Daniel, pretending to be angry only to make the man understand who he was speaking with.Daniel, Andre, and Boris took a tour, enjoying the panoramic views from the villa’s third floor.
Steve intended to make Phoenix Villa their home and host their wedding reception there with Intan. But that dream was short-lived.“It’s been a while; you look well, Mr. Steve,” greeted Daniel.“Hahaha… you’re as friendly as ever. I’m in good shape thanks to regular exercise. I took your advice and built a futsal court in my villa’s backyard.”“It’s rare for you to drop by unannounced. Is there a particular reason, sir?” Daniel asked.Mr. Steve and his wife took a seat in front of Phoenix Villa, while Intan waited by the car with her younger sister. As usual, Intan looked elegant in her maroon gown, flanked by four bodyguards in two Jeeps.As Daniel had mentioned, every billionaire who came here was escorted by at least three bodyguards.Daniel began to worry that Steve Rockshaw intended to buy Phoenix Villa, as it had just been purchased by one of the most prominent me
Seeing an opportunity, Daniel took advantage of the situation. As a former top sales executive in the country, his marketing instincts kicked in when he saw Steve Rockshaw’s determination to buy Phoenix Villa.“Apologies, ma’am, sir, but I cannot reveal that information. I was entrusted to keep it confidential. However, I do have one other villa that’s equally luxurious to Phoenix, located across the property.”Heaven Garden had two ultra-luxurious villas, both priced far above any other villas in the city center.Besides Phoenix, there was another villa called Drago, just as opulent as Phoenix.The difference lay in the materials used: Phoenix featured imported marble, while Drago had regular marble. The views also differed slightly, with Phoenix’s third floor facing the ocean and Drago’s overlooking the main road. The popularity of Phoenix overshadowed Drago, even though their prices were close.“We
That night, Andre headed alone to a popular karaoke club. Besides working there, he also held a day job as a janitor for a multinational company in JC city.Andre’s work at the club was fairly simple. He’d patrol the karaoke area, standing by in case any of the female staff or patrons caused trouble. In crude terms, he acted as head of security, or rather, the owner’s “guard dog” at Majesty Karaoke.“Finally, you’re back,” hissed a woman. In her right hand were two empty glasses she’d just collected from a customer’s table. “It’s been a while... around two weeks, I think.”That voice...Andre didn’t turn immediately. He knew the octave of each note by heart. Gradually, a hand touched his shoulder and slid down to his chest, prompting him to turn.“Mira, is that you?” Andre was, as always, captivated by the girl’s charm.She had an ideal, hou
Mira was astonished—Andre had just taken down Mr. Koeman’s notorious bodyguard, a brutal and arrogant man, undefeated by any security staff at Majesty Karaoke. Even more surprising was that it took only a single punch!“Vino, you idiot! How could you go down so easily? D-damn it, now I’ll have to handle this punk myself!”Mr. Koeman swung at him, but his punch was slow. He was too heavy to fight someone like Andre.“Let go! Or else…”“What? Fire me? Watch your mouth! You’re the one who should be fired, you vile supervisor who harasses his own employees!” Andre positioned himself protectively in front of Mira, ready in case Mr. Koeman tried to slap her.The commotion was overheard by several customers, and eventually reached the ears of Majesty Karaoke’s executive director.Clara, personal assistant to Mr. Nanang Robby, the director, hurried over to Andre and pulled his
Mr. Koeman was about to throw a glass bottle shard at Mira, but Andre intercepted him with a punch squarely to the left cheek, knocking out one of Mr. Koeman’s teeth.Naturally, this only enraged Mr. Koeman further.“You bastard! Fine, I’m done with you—but pay the five hundred million I asked for first. After that, you can do whatever you want with Mira—take her to a hotel, enjoy her however you like. I just want the money!”“Please, Andre, stop. This is my problem; let me handle it! I can take care of myself!”“Quiet!” Andre shouted at Mira, his eyes blazing with an aura of the War God, striking terror into those around him.Hearing this, Mr. Koeman grew more confident, certain he’d win. After all, what could a security officer do to come up with that much money? In this country’s brutal reality, those with money and power ruled.“Andre… where are you goin
