The security guards looked at Halston with mocking eyes as if this were the last day of his life. Crystal Vale was the most luxurious housing complex in Rivertone, and anyone who tried to disturb its peace always ended up in jail. If Ben had already taken action, then nothing could stop him from calling the police.But Halston did not seem bothered by it. He already knew the administrator and was sure he could get inside without further inspection. In that mansion, there were important things he had not used for the past two years.A moment later, a short, burly man appeared with a scowling face. Dean quickly approached him. "Sir, you didn't need to come down here. I can handle this intruder myself," he said."If you could, you shouldn't have called me!" Ben smacked Dean on the head, his eyes sweeping around until they stopped on Halston. They stared at each other for a moment before Ben cursed, "Look at you, beggar! Are you mocking me?"Halston frowned, not recognizing the rude man i

Halston had helped many people who were not as influential as they were now and gently pushed them to sign an agreement. They had to agree to follow any order he authorized with his personal seal if they needed his support.He rarely used that seal and only issued orders for emergencies. His gaze shifted to the small tears on his pants. On the way to Crystal Vale, a group of assassins had attacked him."They must be the ones William mentioned. I'm curious how they managed to get in here," he murmured.Veyland was difficult to infiltrate since its military was one of the strongest, thanks to Halston's funding. It should've been easy to catch assassins with fake identities. If there was any crime here, most of it came from domestic underground organizations.And the reason Halston had once been poisoned was because Veyland had been in a military conflict with another country at the time. That situation made it easy for outsiders to get in since the army had been too busy."I guess I sho

Avril could feel Kyra's embarrassment, so she did not miss the chance to mock her. She wrapped her arm around Ethan and said, "Kyra was an outstanding student at my college. Many guys chased her, but she turned them down with that arrogant attitude! She's got nothing now, so she stays quiet with a loser!""It looks like she misunderstood that Halston is rich because he married Mia. Poor thing, your friend's pretty but chose a clown instead," Ethan replied with a crooked smile.He was one of the men who liked Mia, so he invested in her company to get close to her. When he found out Halston had married the woman of his dreams, he got so angry and has held a grudge ever since.The boutique's security guards started moving closer. One of the tallest stood before Halston and Kyra, folding his arms. "You think this is a public place? Get out before we call the police!" he said coldly.Another chimed, "Look at your clothes! You're clearly not guests. Don't embarrass yourselves. This isn't a

Val kept smiling while she accompanied Kyra and Halston picking out clothes. She was sure the Overlord liked her because she never caused any scandals, so she did not have to follow his requests."This suit is perfect for you," Val said while gesturing for a sales assistant to remove a matching set from the glass rack. She then draped the red dress in front of Kyra, gently pulling her toward the mirror. "Look, your beauty really shines. This color was made for you!""Ah, thank you. But I think this is too much for me," Kyra politely refused, but Halston signaled her to accept the dress.In the end, Val gave Kyra many limited-edition clothes. She could notice that Halston was interested in her, and she would not miss this golden chance."Not many people know I'm close to ordinary folks. I have to keep my image in front of the elites. But honestly, I enjoy connecting with all kinds of people," Val said while holding Kyra's hand.She continued with a broad, enthusiastic smile, "Give me y

Halston looked striking in his black suit, showing off his broad shoulders and well-proportioned body. His neatly slicked hair added a masculine touch. Every step he took carried a natural authority, making many women unconsciously hold their breath when they saw him.Beside him, Kyra walked in a sapphire-blue dress that shimmered under the crystal lights. Her long hair was left loose with gentle waves, adorned with diamond earrings that swayed lightly whenever she turned her head.They looked like a couple straight out of a world-class fashion magazine, a mix of handsomeness and beauty that left many guests in silent awe.Whispers started to spread in different corners of the hall."Who are they? I've never seen those faces before.""They look even more striking than the bride and groom...""How bold of them to come dressed that extravagantly at someone else's wedding!"Some guests even compared their appearance to Nolan and Mia, filling the air with new gossip. Harold stopped eating
