While still on the phone, Jarvis said, “You want to teach someone a lesson? You won’t have to wait long. Grave Group also holds a partnership stake in the Audi dealership. Look around you—the guards stationed at the entrance? They’re under my directive. Just show them the card I gave you. That’s a Supreme VIP card. The moment they see it, they’ll follow your instructions without hesitation.”

Leon blinked, taken aback. “Wait… just a card can make that kind of impact?”"

Jarvis couldn't help but chuckle lowly. “Authority comes in many forms. That card? It’s one of them.”

Leon nodded slowly. “Yeah… I’m starting to see that. Good day then.” Then he hung up the call.

Mila scoffed from behind him, still holding onto her bravado. “So, what now? I’m waiting.”

Leon didn’t answer her. Instead, he turned toward the entrance, his eyes settling on the two guards who stood stiffly like statues, their posture disciplined, unmoving. He approached one of them calmly and wordlessly presented the Su

    “What nonsense are you spouting?!” Brianna snapped, her voice rising. “We don’t do things like that here!” the bodyguard added, his tone defensive. Leon shook his head, amusement playing on his lips. “Right. Because corruption never exists behind counters and uniforms. This era just keeps getting amusing by the second.” Then, turning to Diane, he pointed at the bundle of clothes still held by the guard. “Those are the clothes she picked, right?” Diane nodded slowly. “Yes… those are the ones.” “Good. Then bag them all,” Leon said, reaching into his pocket and handing Diane a black card. “She’s going to pay for them.” Isabella’s brow furrowed in shock. Victor’s jaw tightened, still trying to piece together how this was even possible. And Brianna… her face paled with shock. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Diane took the card slowly, eyes full of uncertainty. “Leon… are you sure?” Leon gave her a reassuring nod and gestured toward the cashier. “Since you are here,

    Diane’s brows drew together in confusion. “Wait… what are you saying?” “What nonsense are you spouting?!” Brianna snapped, her voice rising. “We don’t do things like that here!” the bodyguard added, his tone defensive.

    Leon let out a dry laugh. “Of course you didn’t. You were probably paid to not see it. Was that it? Did she pay you off to keep quiet?”Diane’s brows drew together in confusion. “Wait… what are you saying?”“What nonsense are you spouting?!” Brianna snapped, her voice rising.“We don’t do things like that here!” the bodyguard added, his tone defensive.Leon shook his head, amusement playing on his lips. “Right.

    Leon let out a quiet sigh, then calmly walked over to Diane, his sharp gaze fixed on the officer still holding her arm.“I said—let her go,” he repeated, this time with a tone that carried weight, his eyes narrowing with warning.The officer blinked, clearly startled by the intensity in Leon’s eyes, and immediately released Diane’s arm.Diane let out a deep sigh, the tension melting from her shoulders as Leon stepped beside her. In that moment, just having him there gave her the reassurance she desperately needed that everything was going to be alright.Victor stared at Leon in complete disbelief, his jaw slightly slack. Leon was alive. Standing. Breathing. It was downright impossible. He had watched the life drain from Leon’s eyes after pulling the trigger… had personally dumped his body into the sea. ‘What in the hell is going on?’Leon casually shifted his gaze across the trio standing before him—Brianna, Isabella, and finally Victor. His eyes lingered on Victor for a moment, an

    “What?” Diane blinked, completely baffled. “What do you mean, ‘what am I doing here’? I’m here because you brought me. You told me to come.”“What?!” Brianna shouted. “Brought you here?! Why on earth would I bring a cheap, desperate nobody here?! Are you insane or do you even hear yourself?! In what part of the universe have we ever gotten along that I would bring you here to a place like this? Have you gone insane, or do you just enjoy embarrassing yourself in public?”Diane froze, her mind reeling as Brianna’s cruel words echoed in her ears. Her heart felt like it dropped to the floor. But no matter how stunned she was, one thing became crystal clear—Brianna had orchestrated this entire thing. She had been played.Tears stung Diane’s eyes, and she blinked hard as they rolled down her cheeks. “You… I see what’s going on here. You set me up,” she whispered, pain lacing her voice. “How could you do something like this to me?”Brianna scoffed and crossed her arms. “I have no idea what

    Diana arrived at E. Vangant Mall, easily one of the most extravagant shopping centers in all of Brookdale. As she stepped out of the taxi and took in the glitzy entrance, she couldn’t help but wonder what exactly Brianna had in mind. ‘Does she really want to buy me clothes?’ she thought, scanning the place until she spotted Brianna standing near the glass doors, waving at her with an energy that felt almost… foreign. Diana raised a brow, amused by the sight. ‘She looks completely different today. So cheerful. So friendly. This is strange.’ She had never seen Brianna so lively, at least not with her. She was always so cold, if not downright hostile. Seeing her this bubbly was a complete 180. Suppressing her skepticism, Diana approached her with a hesitant chuckle and asked, “Hi. So, what’s the real reason we’re here?” Brianna looked momentarily caught off guard at her question, but she quickly covered it with a carefree laugh. “What do you mean? We’re at a mall! Obviously, we’re
