In the state of Noorhaven, in the city of Stonebridge, two muscular men hurriedly approached Rael Vinsion as he stepped out of his car.One of them spoke in a firm tone. "Rael Vinsion, you are under arrest for involvement in various crimes, such as bribery, embezzlement, solicitation, and more."Rael stared coldly at the two men alternately. "Sorry?"He asked in surprise. "Are you sure you’ve got the right person, men?"The other man replied with a sneer. "Sure. We’re not idiots who don’t know what we’re doing!"Rael’s confusion wasn’t without reason. As the prospective son-in-law of Governor Oberon Hanson, he had devoted all his energy and thoughts to managing the entire state of Noorhaven.Thanks to Rael's hard work over the past four years, an area once infamous for rampant crime and constant disputes had transformed into a peaceful and orderly region.Not only that, but the GDP of Noorhaven had also increased tenfold, reaching a staggering $20 trillion because of him.With su

For a moment, Joel found himself caught in a storm of confusion.'How could a hero like him end up at a police station?'Wasting no time, Joel quickly approached Rael and bowed respectfully. “Good afternoon, Lord Vinsion. I apologize for keeping you waiting.”Rael gave a slight nod. “It’s okay.”At the same time, the two officers stood dumbfounded.“Am I seeing things?”“How could Sir Myers with such a high status, bow to him—a man accused of several crimes?”“Did we really arrest the wrong person?”“What brings you here, Lord Vinsion?”Joel asked. Rael answered plainly, “I’ve been accused of corruption, bribery, and solicitation.”Rael’s response hit Joel like a thunderclap, nearly making him jump from his seat.He never imagined anyone could be reckless or foolish enough to accuse Rael of such baseless crimes.Joel’s brows furrowed deeply. “Did I hear you correctly, My Lord?”Joel’s mind was flooded with memories of everything he knew that Rael had done for Noorhaven.Joel contin

Calista firmly declared, "Listen, the only reason Noorhaven has flourished like it has today is because of my father, Governor Oberon Hanson!""And Rael has absolutely no right to claim even a shred of credit for my father's hard work!"The restaurant manager's chest heaved with anger.He retorted, "I’m sorry, Young Lady! But your joke is not funny at all!""Everyone in the state of Noorhaven knows that the progress of this state is due to the behind-the-scenes efforts of Lord Vinsion.""You must be aware that Noorhaven used to be looked down upon for its poverty and rampant crime.""Many political experts predicted that Noorhaven would never survive its crisis. In other words, it was expected to collapse in no time.""But after Lord Vinsion took over Noorhaven, that impoverished state defied all those predictions by achieving a GDP of 20 trillion in just one year!"A smile spread across the restaurant manager's lips."More than that, this hotel was built thanks to Lord Vinsion.""How

Rael raised his hand, signaling for the men to quiet down. Instantly, the clamor turned back into silence.He then asked, his tone calm but firm, “Has the Lord of the Scorpion decided to break his promise and no longer respect his vow to stay beyond the border?”At that moment, a blonde man stepped forward and knelt before Rael on one knee.With respect, he explained, “The Lord of the Scorpion has already been informed of your arrival, Lord Vinsion.”“We were sent here solely to ensure the order and security of this place.”Joel and the elite guards standing to his left and right finally realized that these heavily armed men were subordinates of the Lord of the Scorpion. They were utterly dumbfounded.“Is this some kind of illusion?”“If the Lord of the Scorpion has such a force stationed here, he must be far stronger than the rumors suggest.”“But look at this! They’re all bowing to Lord Vinsion!”“It seems there’s much more to Lord Vinsion than we know.”“That young man is truly a

After some time of extensive renovations transforming the dungeon cell into a luxurious five-star-style room, Joel approached Rael.The chief of police reported, “My Lord, the renovation of your chamber will soon be completed.”“I’ve ensured that your new bed is incredibly comfortable and excellent for your back health.”He gave a faint smile. Deep down, Joel hoped that this small gesture he had done for Rael would make his stay in the dungeon a bit more comfortable.Rael nodded. “You’ve worked too hard, Mr. Myers.”Joel quickly shook his head. “Not at all, My Lord. It’s nothing.”“In fact, I still regret that I couldn’t get you out of the dungeon and provide you with a better place to stay.”Rael smiled. “I appreciate your efforts, Mr. Myers.”“I’ve already told you, haven’t I? I can sleep anywhere.”Rael added, “For me, what matters most is that I can enjoy my sleep without any disturbances.”“You must know about my dedication when I started rebuilding Noorhaven, don’t you?”Joel
