It was finally evening.Lucas quietly in front of the full-length mirror, He had already changed into one of the premium suits that had been prepared for him earlier that afternoon. He stared at his reflection for several long seconds.Even he found it difficult to recognize himself."It really is strange..." he murmured softly.His fingers unconsciously brushed over the lapel of his suit."Just a few days ago, I was wearing prison clothes... and now..."His voice trailed off.Life had changed so quickly that it almost felt unreal.He slowly reached toward the bedside table, where the elegant black cryptocurrency card rested inside a small velvet case.Lucas carefully picked it up, he opened his suit jacket before carefully sliding the card into the inner pocket.After confirming it was secure, he buttoned his jacket and took one last look at himself in the mirror."Time to go."He grabbed his phone and walked toward the door.The moment he stepped outside his mansion, a taxi was al

The young lady, on the other hand, wore a smug smile as she confidently folded her arms across her chest. Every now and then, she glanced toward the road as though expecting her father's convoy to appear at any moment.Just then, a middle-aged woman slowly stepped out from the crowd.She looked to be in her late fifties, and the concern written across her face was unmistakable. After looking at Lucas for several moments, she sighed deeply before walking directly toward him."My son," the woman called gently, her voice filled with genuine concern.Lucas turned his head toward her."Yes, ma'am?" he replied politely.The woman came to a stop only a few feet away from him before shaking her head sorrowfully."My son," she said again, "please listen to me."Lucas smiled faintly and said."I'm listening."The woman glanced nervously at the young lady before lowering her voice."If kneeling before this young lady will settle this matter," she pleaded earnestly, "then please do it."Lucas loo

Lucas stood completely still, as though he were watching a show that had nothing to do with him, he did not show the slightest sign of fear. He simply looked at the man and waited to hear what he would say next.The man took another step forward and pointed his finger directly at Lucas. "You will regret this," he said in a cold and threatening voice. "You have embarrassed my daughter, damaged her property, and now you are standing here acting as though you have done nothing wrong. I promise you that you will regret the way you have behaved today."Lucas let out a quiet sigh before looking at him with a calm expression. He found it strange that the man had arrived and immediately taken his daughter's side without even asking what had actually happened."Why would I regret anything when you have not even heard my side of the story?" Lucas asked calmly. "You simply walked into the middle of the situation, listened to your daughter, and immediately decided that I was guilty. Don't you

Lucas folded his arms across his chest as the call finally connected. He stood quietly in front of the young lady and her father, watching the man's expression change the moment the person on the other end answered. The confidence that had already returned to the man's face became even stronger, as though hearing the voice of his superior had immediately given him the reassurance he needed.The man put the phone on speaker so that everyone around them could hear the conversation. He then cleared his throat and spoke respectfully."Good afternoon, Mr. Shaw," the man greeted. "I apologize for calling you from a different number. I am using another phone today."A calm male voice immediately came through the speaker."I recognized your voice the moment you spoke," Mr. Shaw replied. "There is no need for you to introduce yourself. I know who you are."Hearing those words, the girl's father smiled proudly. He glanced at Lucas deliberately, as though he wanted him to understand that the

Mr. Shaw slowly removed his glasses from his face, his fingers trembling slightly as he stared at Lucas. He swallowed hard, trying to convince himself that he had somehow misunderstood what he was seeing.Lucas, on the other hand, did not say a single word. He simply stood there and watched Mr. Shaw, his expression calm and unreadable. For several seconds, Mr. Shaw remained frozen in place. Then, as though he had suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation, he broke out of his shock and hurried toward Lucas.When he reached Lucas, Mr. Shaw immediately dropped to his knees.“Boss, please forgive me,” Mr. Shaw begged as he lowered his head. “Please, I am begging you to pardon me. I had no idea that you were the person they were talking about. I honestly did not know that you were the man involved in this matter.”A wave of shock immediately passed through the restaurant.The same man who had entered with police officers and confidently ordered them to drag Lucas away was now k
