According to what Simon believed, Raymond should already have been dead, and although he had not personally witnessed his death, the information he had received had left him with little reason to doubt it.Yet the man standing before him was not injured, frightened, or struggling to survive.Instead, Raymond looked perfectly fine, and the calm confidence in his eyes made Simon feel even more uncomfortable."How is this possible?" Simon wondered, his heart beginning to beat faster.He knew there were things happening behind the scenes that Raymond was not supposed to survive, and the fact that Raymond had appeared so suddenly made him question everything he had been told."What are you doing here?" Simon finally demanded, although his voice no longer carried the same confidence as before.Raymond noticed the change immediately, and although he did not yet know exactly why Simon looked so frightened, he could tell that his appearance had caught the man completely off guard."That's a st

A few people looked in the direction Simon had escaped, perhaps wondering whether he would return, while others simply stood there with their phones in their hands, exchanging uneasy looks as though they were afraid of becoming involved in something that might later cause trouble for them.Raymond, however, was not interested in any of their excuses, because the sight of an elderly woman being beaten in broad daylight was already enough to make him angry, but what troubled him even more was the fact that so many people had stood there watching without making any serious attempt to help her.He had seen many terrible things in his life, and as the Supreme Lord, he had dealt with people far more dangerous than Simon Brown, but he had never been the kind of man who could watch someone weak suffer simply because the person hurting them had money or influence.At that moment, two female employees who had come out of the bank began speaking to the customers, asking everyone to calm down and

Gabriella's expression tightened, but she remained silent as Raymond continued."Do you think being a director is only about sitting inside a comfortable office, signing documents, and allowing people to bow whenever you walk past them?"He gestured toward the injured woman."Look at what happened right outside your building, because while you were sitting comfortably in your office, your employees were standing here watching an innocent woman being beaten as though her life meant nothing."Gabriella turned toward the elderly woman again, and this time she noticed the blood on her clothes and the frightened way she looked at the people surrounding her."That man was beating her right here," Raymond continued, his voice filled with disgust. "Your security guards did nothing, your employees did nothing, and when the man finally ran away, the first thing your staff thought about was telling everyone to stop making noise so the bank would not be embarrassed."Gabriella slowly looked towar

Gabriella had already turned slightly toward the bank entrance, ready to return to her office and leave Raymond in the hands of her employees, when his next words made her stop."I'm sorry, but I don't think any of your staff members can attend to me."His voice was calm, without the slightest sign of anger, but the confidence behind his words immediately caught Gabriella's attention.The female receptionist standing nearby was not pleased with what she had just heard, and the irritated expression on her face showed that she was already running out of patience with Raymond.From her point of view, the bank director had been more than generous by personally coming outside to apologize for the terrible incident involving the elderly woman, and she could not understand why this ordinary-looking man was still making things difficult.She looked Raymond up and down again, paying particular attention to his simple clothes, before shaking her head in annoyance.Who does this man think he is?

Raymond leaned back slightly."Then consider the matter settled, because I didn't come here to argue about how I was treated."Gabriella nodded."Thank you for understanding."She finally sat down and switched on the computer in front of her.For several seconds, she worked quietly, entering her authorization details and opening a section of the bank's internal records that ordinary employees could not access.Raymond watched her without speaking.Gabriella glanced at him once before returning her attention to the screen."Sir, I hope you understand that because of the special nature of this account, there are certain procedures we must complete before I can grant you access."Raymond nodded."That is understandable."Gabriella continued, "This account has been inactive for many years, and its security requirements are much stricter than those of ordinary accounts, which means that even I cannot reactivate it simply because someone knows the account number."Raymond smiled faintly."I
