Nick was so excited about the partnership with Miles that he forgot Grayson drove his family here. The neighborhood where Jack lived was heavily guarded, and taxis or food deliveries were not allowed inside. Many of the city's important figures lived here, so not just anyone could set foot."Looks like you'll have to walk all the way to the outer gate. But it'll take a while since this neighborhood is huge," Lucy ridiculed."Do you want me to drive you?" Nolan offered. "I came here with my driver so you can ask him for help."Mia clung to Nolan, acting overly affectionate to make Halston jealous. "Honey, you're too kind! But Uncle Nick's house is in a dirty and unsafe part of the outskirts. I'm worried your car will get damaged since the roads are narrow!""You talk like that's my only car. I still have a whole collection in my garage, so it's fine if one gets damaged.""I knew I made the right choice to marry you. You're loaded, but you're still so humble!"Instead of feeling touched

Halston kept working as a food deliveryman because his job actually gave him some advantages. For example, he once delivered food to a penthouse where the children of wealthy families were having a party. He overheard one of them saying their parents were misusing investments from Dominion Capital, which was a major violation.Because of that, Halston was able to catch the culprit and get a huge compensation. People constantly insulted him or spoke without a filter around him, thinking he was just some lowlife who could not do anything."Bro, are you okay?" Colin, Halston's coworker, greeted him with concern. He had already heard about Halston's divorce because rumors were spreading that Mia would get married again.Everyone in town was happy to hear that a great woman like Mia had finally found a man who deserved her. But Colin disagreed, since he had seen how hard Halston had been working all this time.Halston smiled while patting Colin's shoulder. "If I were sick, I wouldn't come

Halston raised an eyebrow, examining the nine masked men before him. For someone who had faced many assassination attempts, they looked like amateurs. But it was clear they were mid-level members of one of the well-known underground organizations.On the black suits they wore was a skull brooch with two red fangs dripping blood. Halston knew which organization the symbol belonged to. "So, you're from the Red Syndicate. Did you come here to take revenge for your friends I beat to a pulp?" he said calmly, but it triggered the hitmen's anger.They felt insulted when they found out their target was the man once called the useless son-in-law of the Brown family. Victor explained that Halston was not an ordinary man since he managed to defeat Tom's team. Even so, it was hard for them to accept that because they were used to killing worthy targets."Let's just finish this bastard quickly," the first hitman who appeared pulled out a gun and aimed it at Halston. "Tom was too arrogant and stupi

The last thing Bradley wanted was for the Overlord to be mad at him. He thought Halston called him to renew their partnership contract, which is why he looked so happy. All this time, Dominion Capital had never filed any complaints about any broadcasts Aurora aired.This was the first time Halston protested, and he sounded serious. Cold sweat ran down Bradley's temples as he answered, "L-Lord, forgive my stupid brain that can't understand your words. Did I do something to offend you?""Shouldn't you follow my orders first? Instead, you question them like I'm talking nonsense," Halston replied sharply."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! Heidy, call Broadcast Operations and tell them to stop the interview with anyone right now!"Heidy frowned at her boss's order. "But Chairman, we'll have to compensate the star guest if the show ends suddenly.""You think I don't know that? Call the people in charge now!"Because Bradley looked so anxious and scared, Heidy realized this was not her boss's re

Halston stared at the card for a moment before chuckling. "Do you think I'm short on money here? If I were desperate about my finances, I'd have gone back to my family the moment you first came to me," he said sarcastically."I know you're not lacking anything," William explained in a calm tone. "But this card has another advantage. It can be used to pay for a visa that'll be ready in an instant. You can also use the emergency transport service that's usually reserved for important politicians."Not every country is visa-free for Veyland, and it takes time to get one. Halston could easily get it using his money. But he once read that the cost for a special visa was much cheaper if someone owned a black card with a silver crown.Most of its owners were state leaders because they needed it in emergencies. Halston remembered that the president of Veyland once gave him that card, and it was still stored neatly in a safe inside one of his mansions. He had not used it since he had his own m
