Xavier’s phone rang awh he was driving. It was Celeste.He placed the phone on the dashboard after answering.“Why aren’t you home yet?” Celeste was a little puzzled when she learned that Xavier was still on the road. He should have reached home by now.“I encountered something along the way and assisted the police in apprehending some criminals,” Xavier explained.“Are you hurt?” Celeste, who was lying on the bed, immediately sat up.“No. After the perpetrators were apprehended, I was required to file a report. I’m on my way home now,” Xavier said with a smile. Was Celeste worried about him?Celeste did not hang up the phone until Xavier had parked his car.After returning home and taking a shower, Xavier took a rest. He had no idea what had just happened had become such a big deal. Someone recorded a video. Although they couldn’t see what was going on in the car, the license plate was captured. People had also recorded the scene in which he beat up the perpetrators. Someone in
After Xavier finished fighting, he quickly comforted the child.Amelia, who had taken quite a blow, dashed over. Her eyes were filled with shock as she witnessed all four perpetrators, who were still holding knives, being taken down in such a short time. That was something neither she nor her instructor could do.At this point, sirens could be heard, and a few police officers arrived to apprehend the perpetrators. They were, however, taken aback when they saw the injuries. The attacks were far too brutal.“Lady, can I leave now? Remember my car number plate and report it to the traffic police. I don’t want to be fined or have my license revoked.” Xavier was about to leave since the matter had been dealt with.“No! You can’t leave. I have to make a report on what happened today. You were too brutal.” Amelia stopped him.“They were armed with knives and attacked a police officer. People were harmed, and you believe I was too harsh on them?” Xavier frowned. He didn’t want to get into
Amelia was shocked. Xavier had no right to yell at her. She was the leader of a police squadron. She was usually the one giving the youngsters a lesson, but now she was the one getting yelled at.“I’ll teach you a lesson for yelling at me!” She reached out and tapped Xavier on the back of the head. She continued to communicate with the command center and pursue the perpetrator.Under Amelia’s guidance, the car drove speedily along the way and drifted through corners without slowing down. “That alley. The perpetrators’ car went into that alley.” Amelia’s face darkened. It would be easier to deal with if they were somewhere less crowded, but now the car had entered an alley. Soon, Xavier drove the Lamborghini into the alley. The perpetrators parked the car in front of a plaza and started taking hostages. Xavier and Amelia got off and headed to the plaza. “Bastards! You just won’t give up! Place your guns on the floor, otherwise, I’ll kill her!” One of the perpetrators held a kn
“Some suspects fled after violently assaulting a police officer. My car broke down, so I’m requisitioning your car,” the policewoman explained.“You have a keen eye, but if anything were to happen to this million-dollar car, you would have to compensate even more!” Xavier took his seatbelt off. He had no choice but to cooperate because this was a matter of law enforcement.Amelia was stunned by Xavier’s words. She could requisition this car, but if anything happened, it would be a hassle to write a report for the compensation, even if she was the squadron’s leader.“You drive, and I’ll apprehend the perpetrator.” Amelia came up with another solution, so Xavier wouldn’t have to get out of the car. That would prevent problems. The driver would then be the one paying for the repairs since he was the one behind the wheel. She had to take advantage of this frat boy.Xavier hesitated, but he could not refuse in this situation. But at this moment, the System spoke, “Assist the police in
“Silly child. Men would never admit they lack money. As a woman, you should be more considerate of others,” Lilian reprimanded Celeste. She finally met a handsome guy with good conduct, and she hoped Celeste would hold on to him.“Mom, he’s driving a car that costs millions and staying in a villa,” Celeste said exasperatedly. She was sure Xavier did not lack money. It was implausible that he had faked it. She saw the property certificate under his name in the study. As for the car, it was not possible to rent that model of Lamborghini.“Villa? He is an orphan. Is he really rich at such a young age?” Lilian was shocked.“He started investment at a young age, and bought the car and villa on his own,” Celeste explained to her.“All men should be like this. He’s very well-versed in the stock market’s economy. It wouldn’t be hard for him to earn money. Besides, he can simply paint a few pieces of art and afford a luxurious car,” Vincent said as he walked over.“Dad, did someone really
Celeste was completely awestruck. She liked music and had gone to many concerts. She felt Xavier did not pale in comparison to those well-known singers.“You’ve sung another song, too, right?” Celeste turned on her phone and found a few songs he had sung.Xavier nodded. “I do it for fun to help out a streamer. Today, it was also because she asked for my help.” “To help out a streamer?” Celeste wondered.Celeste had a feeling there was more to this. She would look into it further later, but Xavier truly shocked her. His art impressed her father, who even called him a master. Her father even sent Xavier’s artwork to the Sunset City Art Committee for evaluation. Vincent was the committee’s vice president, so he wanted more people to enjoy that piece.Aside from art, Xavier had demonstrated a talent for singing. It would be fine if he were only talented in one area, but Xavier had demonstrated his versatility.It was getting dark. Celeste could not stay longer and had to leave. “I
Celeste felt much better when she realized she could drive or fly from Sunset City to Kingston.Celeste prepared some fruits for Xavier to eat after they cleared the table. Xavier was reading an economics book. This book was included with the villa’s decorations, but Xavier found it to be quite helpful.“You bought this villa on your own?” Celeste turned on the TV while eating the fruits. “A long time ago. I invested some money and bought this villa. I have to rest while I’m hard at work, right?” Xavier quipped.Celeste nodded in agreement. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation were also considered investments. Sunset City was such a centralized area that property value would never depreciate. As they were chatting, Xavier received a phone call from Viola. He went to the studio to answer it.“Xavier, I’m hosting a live stream right now, and everyone wants to hear you sing. I couldn’t refuse.” Viola sounded pitiful and helpless. She intended to live-stream, but her viewers
Xavier’s expression immediately changed with her words. He stuttered, “No… No drinking.” The last time he drank, he got into trouble. He used to be able to hold his alcohol well, but he was unsure about it now. Besides, he was worried Celeste didn’t have a good alcohol tolerance and might leave him with another stack of money if something happened.Celeste assumed from the change in his expression that he had considered what had happened earlier and felt helpless. She had drunk heavily at the time because she was in a bad mood.Xavier was too embarrassed to say no. Since she had made things clear, it would make her look bad if he refused. He opened a bottle of wine and took the decanter and two glasses from the kitchen.“We should drink less,” Xavier suggested as he sat down.“Don’t guys always want women to drink more?” Celeste could not understand him. Was he uninterested in her or women in general?It wasn’t surprising Celeste thought so. He was a single man living alone in s
