Four days had passed.Gabriel and several of his bodyguards were on a flight to Valmont City. The city was a one-hour flight from Forire City.Herbert had booked a 7-star hotel for his son, the most expensive hotel in Valmont City.The Valmont Grand Hotel was an iconic hotel located in the heart of Valmont City. This hotel charged exorbitant rates, even for a regular room. Only the wealthy, conglomerates, and celebrities could afford to stay there.Upon arriving in Valmont City, Gabriel and his bodyguards were picked up by two cars, which were none other than Herbert's men, who were in charge in that city.Gabriel was in a car with one bodyguard, while the rest of his men were in another one.Once they arrived at The Valmont Grand Hotel, Gabriel was greeted warmly by the hotel staff. The concierge immediately took Gabriel's luggage to his room, while a lady escorted him to his room.Herbert didn't just book a regular room for his son; he booked the highest class, the Presidential Suit

They were startled by his words, but instead of immediately believing what he said, they burst into laughter.“Okay now, we have our new hero coming to us. So tell me, Hero, what will you do? You want to pay for my wife’s bag?” The man taunted Gabriel as he pointed to his wife’s bag.Gabriel’s gaze shifted to the bag. He frowned, examined it closely, and then remarked, “It only has a slight wine stain; it just needs to be washed. You are too exgarating.”The lady’s rage escalated as she retorted firmly. “Shut up! Do you know how much this bag costs? I’m sure someone like you can’t afford it, not even its strap!” Her gaze shifted to the restaurant manager as she protested. “I don’t understand why this restaurant allows a pauper like him to enter this place. Where is the exclusivity of this hotel?”Gabriel huffed when he heard the woman accuse him of being a pauper for no apparent reason. Just because Gabriel called them exaggerating, they now assumed he couldn't even afford the strap o

With confidence, Viggo uttered words that hinted that he was suspicious of Gabriel. "This watch is the most expensive one here, so I just want to make sure he is serious about buying it. He might just come here to play around without seriously considering it."Viggo Klaussen was a VIP member of The Regal Watches, and his family has close ties with the store owner, so his words weren't empty words but rather something to consider.Hearing Viggo's accusation, Gabriel immediately dismissed it. "What the hell! I don't know who you are, but you suddenly came in and interrupted my transaction." Gabriel's gaze shifted to the salesman as he urged him. "Hurry up and process my payment; don't listen to him! I need to get my watch, and I don't want to waste my time here."The salesman nodded in compliance with Gabriel's instructions. This time, Viggo didn't stop the salesman from processing Gabriel's transaction.As the salesman swiped Gabriel's card through the payment machine, a surprising thi

Gabriel got into his Bentley and drove off. The charity gala was held at The Rainolds Hotel. After a fifteen-minute drive, Gabriel arrived. The event was attended by high-profile figures, from businessmen and conglomerates to politicals. Gabriel parked his car in the parking lot, next to other luxury vehicles. Exiting his car, Gabriel walked to the entrance. The Rainolds Hotel was fully booked for the evening, so no people were allowed to stay overnight until tomorrow morning. Guests were only allowed to visit the restaurants until 6 p.m., as the hotel was dedicating its entire operations to the charity gala. The event was held in the Rainolds Hotel's largest ballroom, located on the second floor. The first floor of the hotel was used as a reception area for attendees of the charity gala. Gabriel's steps suddenly slowed when he saw two guests walking ahead of him. The two men walked with authority and waved to the camera. When one of the men turned and Gabriel could see part of h

Gabriel returned to the ballroom with peevedness still lingering on him. Stepping his foot back into the ballroom, his eyes scanned the place, trying to find guests who he might feel interested to interact with. But it seemed Gabriel hadn't found the right ones to mingle with.He was greeted by a waiter who offered him a drink. This time, he took a glass of non-alcoholic beverage from the waiter's tray.Taking a sip, his eyes subconsciously wandered to Serena, but he couldn't find her in his sight."She's such a funny girl to talk to. I'd love to talk to her, but of course she must be busy," Gabriel muttered.In his reverie, a sudden tap landed on his shoulder. Gabriel startled, and he turned around.Two men were standing in front of him. One was the doorman who had served Gabriel at the entrance, and the other was a man in his 50s in a classic black and white suit.Before Gabriel could utter a word, the doorman quickly explained the purpose of their visit."Sir, I explained to you ea
