Vengence's Odyssey Chapter sixteen
Far away, in another country, a grand mansion stood on the outskirts of San Francisco. A burly man, his face marred by a long scar, sat majestically on his sofa, his eyes fixed on the news playing on the screen. In his left hand, he held a token that resembled a phoenix and a wyrm, its wings spread wide, as if about to take flight. There was a fierce aura surrounding the man, and he looked every bit as ruthless and powerful as the token he held behind him was a woman dressed in a tight leather jacket and shorts.The man's living room was opulent, decorated with ancient works of art and expensive antiques. The walls were covered in silk tapestries, and a large, ornate fireplace sat in the center of the room. In the corner, a grand piano sat, its ebony surface gleaming in the light. The whole room was full of luxurious comforts, and it was clear that the man who lived there was a person of great wealth and status. It was obvious that he came from an old, powerful martial arts family.

The silence in the room was palpable as the board members considered what Christian had said. Finally, one of them nodded. "We're in agreement, then.""If there's nothing more to discuss, let's end things here. If you will excuse me," Christian said then got up.He turned to leave, but just as he reached the door, his phone started to vibrate. He took it out of his pocket and saw the name on the screen. He hesitated, then put the phone on silent and slipped it back into his pocket. With a nod to the board members, he left the room.As Christian walked out of the boardroom, Stanley followed close behind him, his face expressionless.

Christian stood in silence for a moment as he considered his options. The bronze card wouldn't give him much time to explore, but the platinum card was far more expensive. He wanted to make sure he made the right choice.Finally, he said, "I'll take the platinum card." He pulled out his wallet and retrieved his black card, decorated with intricate golden patterns. He offered it to the woman, but she seemed frozen in place, as if unable to move.After a moment, she snapped out of her trance and reached for the card, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes. Was the card a fake? She glanced up at Christian, her expression unreadable. "You're sure about this?" she asked, her voice low.Christian gave her a reassuring smile. "Yes, I'm sure. It's worth the price."The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything more. She took the card from him and processed the payment, her movements slow and deliberate. 'What?' Her eyes widened in shock as the transaction of $2,000,000 succ

He looked down only to see the freshly cooked meal before him.Then beside it was the red wine he had ordered and a glass was placed beside it. The waitress without being told opened the bottle and poured the wine inside the glass and the strong scent of wine filled the air."This is good," Christian commented then picked the fork wrapped neatly beside the plate then duged it into the food. …"I hope you enjoy your meal sir," She bowed respectfully then left the place so as not to disturb the customer.

A hush fell over the hall after Christian's statement. The manager, who had been standing by the entrance, burst into laughter, as if he had just heard the most hilarious joke in the world. Christian simply stared at him, his expression calm and unreadable."Is this a joke?" the manager asked, still laughing. "Are you trying to make a fool of me?""No, I'm not," Christian said, his voice steady. "I'm quite serious."Raymond, who was standing next to Christian, shot him a look of disgust."Sir, permit me to send him out of here," Raymond said but the manger raised his right hand to shut him up. Seeing this Raymond couldn't help but step back in shame."You're serious?" the manager asked, finally regaining his composure.

Why don't you tell me the reason why you sent a man from the 'slum' out like that?" Christian asked with a cold expression on his face.Williams didn't know what to say and all he could do was close his eyes in shame as
