Chapter 51
A young woman dressed entirely in white—though in a futuristic style, nothing like the uniforms seen in hospitals—greeted him.Her hair was brown, braided neatly into a crown braid.“Are you an AI?”Martin opened his mouth to ask.“No, of course not. I’m the branch manager of Regalis Norvia.”Martin frowned.“So you’re operating from somewhere else and answering my questions remotely?”The young woman nodded with a gentle smile.“Correct. Just as if you were on a video call.”Martin was no stranger to arrangements like this.People of importance, most of the time, could not be met in person.Beyond text or voice calls, video calls were the most advanced method of contact.Back when he was in Belvaria, he had met the one known as “Master” through the exact same arrangement.“Alright. Is this done, then? Can I use my card now?”“Of course. But only after I show you one last thing.”She directed Martin toward a glass panel beside him.It lit up—another screen.“Mom,” Martin breathed. “Da

“Mr. Garvey.”A faint voice reached Martin’s ears.“Mr. Garvey, are you alright?”Martin slowly opened his eyes.“Miss Gianna,” he said, stepping out of the steel chest.“What happened? How long was I asleep?”But Gianna only frowned. “I’m not sure. Maybe around ten seconds?”Martin remembered hearing Gianna shout when the metal door had suddenly slammed shut.But apparently, it hadn’t lasted long—within mere seconds, the door reopened, and Gianna found Martin standing inside with his eyes closed.What happened…? Gianna wondered.Now she was the one curious about what had truly happened to him.“What? Seriously?”Martin moved to check the side of the chest.But nothing was there.“Ah, I see.”Nodding, he came to a realization.“So everything I saw… only happened in my mind.”Whatever technology Regalis used—he had not met the manager, not virtually, let alone in person.“Mr. Garvey, are you sure you’re alright?”Gianna looked at him, puzzled at how dazed he seemed.“No. I’m fine.”Ma

A man in his early sixties smiled at Martin.Most of his hair had turned white, yet his expression remained calm and gentle.Dressed in a dark brown suit, he looked relaxed but attentive.Behind him, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked right in front of Gianna’s Huracán.“Mr. Garvey, this man?”Gianna glanced back and forth between the old man and the Phantom before looking at Martin.“Oh, that’s right. My apologies for not introducing myself earlier, sir. I was simply too excited to finally meet you.”The man bowed again with a polite smile.“My name is Alfred.”The smile never left his face.For months, he had been curious about the mysterious owner of Regalis Noir—rumored to be unimaginably wealthy.He never expected it to be a young man.More than that—someone incredibly humble and modest.“I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand. Could you explain what you mean?” Martin asked.The question made Alfred frown slightly before responding.“Ah, I see. You must be confused as to why I suddenl

Splash!“Quinn, come here!”Lucas kept splashing seawater toward his sister.“This feels amazing!”“Lucas, stop.”Quinn turned her face away. She had been sunbathing by the shore, and now she needed to get up before the one-piece swimsuit she wore got wet.But as if he refused to let her escape, Lucas chased after her.“Don’t even try to run. I’m dragging you into the water.”The two of them ran around, laughing freely.In the past three years, they had never enjoyed a Christmas holiday this exclusive.Palm Coast Resort.It was a VIP playground visited only by the wealthy. Several branches existed throughout Norvia, but this one was the most luxurious.The Hayes family had rented out the entire place, meaning for the next five days, there would be no one else there but them.“Lucas, let go of me.”Quinn held tightly to both of Lucas’s arms as he tried to pull her toward the sea.But instead of obeying, he only laughed.“When else are you going to swim in a place like this? Hurry!”Whi

Right across the road from the resort was a small hill covered with clusters of pine trees.That area itself wasn’t particularly expensive.But the land behind it—an oak plantation spanning nearly a thousand hectares—was.It was one of the Hayes family’s most valuable assets.They were fully aware they could no longer rely on investor funding.Because of that, they decided to sell one of their assets.And since it wasn’t easy to obtain one billion in a short time, they had no choice but to let go of one of their most productive lands.“But a fair price for land like that is at most seven hundred million,” Harley insisted.“I’m offering eight hundred million. That should already be considered very high.”He spoke with unwavering confidence.Although he wasn’t a Havenport native, he had long established connections with several business figures in the city.From them, he learned key pieces of information like this.“Mrs. Catherine, you sound very confident saying that many buyers are li

North Station, Norvane City.“There are no tickets to Havenport at this hour.”The woman in her early thirties behind the counter waved dismissively at Martin as he attempted to buy two high-speed rail tickets.And she didn’t say that only to Martin—everyone in line ahead of him had received the exact same answer.“Come back later this afternoon.”Even though it was Christmas Day, the station was overflowing with people—workers from nearby cities who had just gotten their holiday break.“I’m willing to pay double,” Martin said, still standing his ground.Flexible tickets normally cost five times the standard price—sometimes more.But what was happening here was worse.They were charging ten times the normal rate. Anyone who couldn’t afford it simply had to wait.“Hah. Do you think I’m blind? They can’t even afford half the price.”The woman jabbed a finger toward the people still lined up behind him.“You think you’re any different from them? Get lost.”This woman understood one thing

Chapter 57“What? Are you talking to me?”Alyssa spun around, her expression twisted between disbelief and irritation.The one who dared stop her was nothing more than an ordinary man—dressed in a simple black suit, with nothing particularly impressive about him.“Who do you think you are? I already paid for these tickets. If you want them, go talk to the clerk.”“Miss Hart, my apologies,” the man replied calmly, completely unfazed by Alyssa’s condescending glare.“But we were the ones who reserved those seats first.”“So we have every right to ask them back from you.”***Fifteen minutes earlier.“Mr. Hamilton, please don’t worry. There are still two VVIP seats left on express train No. 1. If you’d like, I can send someone to retrieve them for you.”The station manager’s voice came through Alfred’s phone.“No. There’s no need,” Alfred replied. “I’ll get them myself.”“But…”The manager hesitated.Never before had Alfred bothered with something so trivial.This was a man who had negot

“Mr. Hamilton, really?”Alyssa placed one hand on her waist, clearly annoyed.Alfred wasn’t a stranger to her—or to her family.He had a fairly close relationship with her father.“You’re seriously trying to take this ticket from me?” she asked, lifting the ticket in front of her face.When Alyssa first arrived at the station, she had been surprised that the clerk seemed to already be expecting her and immediately provided her with a ticket.Even though she had made no reservation whatsoever.On top of that, she knew nothing about trains—this was her first time taking one.But in the end, she didn’t bother overthinking it.“Everyone knows who my family is,” she had thought. “So of course things like this happen.”She took the ticket without question.“You haven’t forgotten who I am, have you?”She pushed her sunglasses up onto her head and shot Alfred a sharp glare.“Yes, I remember,” Alfred replied. “But my apologies—I still cannot allow you to keep that ticket.”“Mr. Hamilton, are y

"I'm sorry for making this matter a bit more complicated for you."The manager looked slightly awkward in front of Alfred before handing the ticket back to the ticketing clerk."It's all right. What matters is that everything is now under control."Alfred smiled widely.Relief washed over him—he had successfully carried out his first task."May I have the name for the ticket, sir?"The clerk leaned toward Alfred while holding her tablet in hand.Before Alfred could answer, Martin stepped forward, supporting the old man who had been shoved earlier by Alyssa’s bodyguard."Your name, old man," Martin said quietly.What?The old man looked confused.He knew the clerk was asking for the name of the new ticket holder.But he didn’t understand why this young man was asking him for his name."Please tell her your name," Martin repeated."B-but…"Of course, the old man’s confused reaction immediately triggered the clerk."You again?"The woman threw an annoyed, dagger-like glare at Martin."St

“Aren’t they supposed to head to the platform already?”Martin directed his gaze toward a group of workers standing silently on the floor. Their faces couldn’t hide their uncertainty.In truth, they really were supposed to board the morning train—yet they were forced to wait for the afternoon one instead.They had booked their tickets well in advance.But because they had purchased the cheaper fare, there was nothing they could do when the clerk and the security guard blocked them.“What exactly are they waiting for?”“Sir…”Jackson quickly turned around, confusion spread across his face.He didn’t understand why the young man was asking something like that.“As for the passengers in this station, you don't need to worry.”He answered with a wide, confident smile. He believed Martin was someone who cared about others, and he was proud to say the station provided excellent service—just as Martin probably expected.“They will all receive the best service from our staff.”He nodded firml
