Flashing a manful grin, Sawyer peered into her eyes and his fingers spiritedly wrapped around her tapered waist, as if he was asserting in front of her family members that Sasha was his woman.

“Y-You!” Sasha nearly froze in shock.

She couldn’t believe that it was Sawyer standing next to her.

She had definitely pushed him out through the window and even closed it.

So, how did he climb back up to the first floor?

Sasha couldn’t get her head around what just happened.

On top of it, her family members who were already pissed off at her, now had gazes glowing like burning stoves.

“T-They will eat you alive,” Sasha uttered in a low voice. “Why did you come back? Do you not value your life? Do you think your recklessness will bring you out of your poorness?”

“I have three major goals, miss,” Sawyer responded in a similar wavelength. “The first is to find a cure for my sister’s complicated condition. The second is to marry a woman who can help mankind. The third is… to bring peace to this world before my kids are born.”

The first sentence made sense to Sasha as it was expected to come out of a poor man’s mouth, but the next two sentences sounded more like a fantasy than a dream.

Either way, she was in a spot now. She could care less about a nobody’s dreams.

“Don’t tell them you’re poor,” Sasha whispered as she came a step down the stairs. “Tell them you’re a vice president of a bank. You earn about 150K per year. It’s not much, but it’s better than revealing your real revenue.”

“I don’t want to lie, though.”

“If you don’t lie, you will die.”

“But one lie begets another.”

“Just shut up. You won’t be seeing me or my family after this breakfast, so just lie your way through if you want to live!” she scolded him in a low voice.

If only her family members weren’t watching, Sasha would have surely taught this prick his place for touching her without her permission!

“He’s taking advantage of me, Sasha Deville, whom many powerful men sought favor from,” Sasha also couldn’t wait to teach this philanderer a lesson.

Sasha could see her father, David Deville, giving her an unblinking stare, not even bothering to eat the food on the plate.

It was even more the case for Sasha’s mother, Maria, and the same could be said for the other ten family members sitting at the table.

Their rigid, odious expressions gave away their inner feelings.

“With what face did you come to eat?” Maria questioned her daughter in a sharp tone. “How could you bring a stranger into your room? You think this house is a brothel?”

“M-Mom…” Sasha frowned and couldn’t respond. She looked like a squirrel with an acorn stuck in her throat.

Sawyer, however, pulled a chair back and gestured Sasha to sit, surprising everyone.

What was with this guy?

How could he be calm when the air was so tense and nerve-wracking for her?

After Sasha hesitantly sat down, he sat right next to her.

“Shameless. Utterly shameless,” Maria openly cussed, her long sparkling earrings waving to and fro. “If you stick with trash, you’ll become trash, too, Sasha.”

“He looks like he’s in late twenties or early thirties, maybe?” Sasha’s sister, Noelle, said. She had stylish bangs for haircut. “I didn’t know that you liked older men, Sis.”

Sasha wanted to tell her younger sibling to shut up, but she couldn’t do so in this nervy atmosphere.

“How old are you, dear?” Sawyer looked at Sasha.

(Dear? This guy…!) Sasha didn’t want to answer, but she forced out a smile and said, “23.”

“Oh, I’m 32,” he replied.

“Nine years of difference?” Noelle scoffed. “That’s a little too much, I think. And he’s wearing a T-shirt. Who wears T-shirts on dates? He must be piss-poor, though he seems to be a fan of the Empyrean just like me.”

“No one asked for your opinion,” David coldly glanced at Noelle, making her shut up. His gaze then shifted to Sawyer. “You… instead of apologizing to us first, you sat down at our table and started eating and talking brazenly. You have no manners or decency. Someone like you can never become my son-in-law. If I ever see you with Sasha again, I will erase you from this world.”

Sasha expected her father to threaten like this. She thought this would make Sawyer sweat.

Sawyer remembered the words Sasha spoke last night while in her drunken stupor.

She told him how her family members were all selfish, and that her parents only started treating her well after she began earning a good salary, and how her family members used her salary for their daily needs, making it quite hard to save money.

Now, they were also trying to get her married to a rich guy so they could use her to pave their own future.

“I want to marry your daughter,” Sawyer said, holding Sasha’s hand in front of everyone as he thought this would be the best route instead of arguing with them.

Maria and some others ended up coughing out the food that was in their mouths.

Even David coughed hard and had to sip some water.

“You want to marry my daughter and enter the great Deville family?” Maria growled. “How preposterous!”

“Being nice-looking isn’t enough. Even male prostitutes look handsome. If you want money, tell me how much you want,” David uttered, his voice somewhat quivering in rage. “I’ll sign the check right away and throw it in your face.”

“Dad,” Darius, the elder brother of Sasha, voiced his mind in worry, “what if he asks for an absurd amount?”

“Pfft, brother,” Noelle laughed, “I doubt this guy even knows the difference between a million and a billion.”

“Oh, I think I do know the difference,” Sawyer innocently replied. “Your face looks like a million dollars, but Sasha’s face looks like a billion dollars. Am I right?”

Noelle’s face turned ashen. “Y-You…” she quickly looked at her mother. “Mom, call Big Dog and get this clown kicked out!”

Sasha was startled because she had seen Big Dog choke a tiger to death with an elbow lock just because it growled at Maria once from behind the fence.

At this rate, Sawyer might really get killed.

    Eureka didn’t like halting the auction, but because the crowd seemed invested in their duel, she let herself fall for Sawyer’s provocation. “Let’s take a short ten minute break during which we all can enjoy watching the duel on stage.”Ashton jumped and covered over twenty feet in one go and landed on the stage.Sawyer was walking toward the stage, but Sasha quickly came over to him and said, “Don’t go. You’ll die.”Sawyer slightly smiled. “Let’s go out on a date tomorrow.”“What the hell are you saying? Don’t you value your life? Ashton is easily a dozen times stronger than Big Dog!” Sasha blurted angrily, but Sawyer still entered the stage.“Hahaha,” Mike was laughing in the distance as he recorded what’s happening on the stage with his artificial eye. “An infamous rookie vs a seemingly poor common man. I wish Dad was here. He would have loved to see this.”People already began to clap and root for Ashton. The model Betsy who came here with Ashton was also rooting for him, though sh

    “Who the hell do you think you are!”These words were like rubbing salt to the wound that was the slap Ashton had received.Ashton’s face turned ashen.He totally did not see that coming, especially because she must be under the side-effect of the drug and should be inflamed.The onlookers were stunned into stupendous silence.David and Darius, even more so.Sawyer raised his eyebrows as he remembered the time she hit him between the legs. “She can be really bold if she tries, but she might not get away with it this time.”Before Ashton said anything, David immediately stood and slapped his daughter and roared, “Sasha, have you gone crazy?”“He’s touching me inappropriately from under the table, Dad,” Sasha cried, her eyes already wet.Sawyer clenched his fist. His face darkened.“He’s your fiance!” David’s voice only grew louder. “He’s obviously going to want to flirt with his to-be-wife. Instead of understanding that, you just went and slapped him! Get down to your knees and ask for

    Seeing Ashton and the hot model next to her made Sasha want to puke.She had heard from her close friend who said that women, after giving blowjobs to men in the cars, would eat bubblegums, chocolates or lollipops to make their mouths smell normal.Sasha felt sick from remembering that. “Brother, you’re seeing what I’m seeing, right? You want me to marry that filthy womanizer?”Darius, however, coldly said, “Kick that trash out of this place before Ashton sees him and any trouble brews!”Sasha’s gut felt tight.Her brother generally supported her in many things, but when it came to her marriage, he was supporting David and Martha’s decision instead.Does her brother really love her? Is becoming a super soldier more important to him than her wellbeing?She wasn’t sure anymore, and it made her heart feel heavy.“Go, hurry up,” Darius pressured her.Sasha was walking toward, but Ashton was already approaching her with a big smile on his face. “You look magnificent in this red dress, Sash

    Iron Cleaver was a technique that relied on the torrential energy circulated around the blade of the sword to increase its penetrative power, allowing it to cut through metal shields as if they were fruits.The guard captain swung his sword, fully intending to send Sawyer’s head flying.He thought this technique was an overkill.However, his sword shattered to bits before it even touched Sawyer.What just happened?The guard captain couldn’t even comprehend it.“Are you done cleaving?” Sawyer yawned once more. “If you get out of my way, I will enter through the gate.”The guard captain stood in utter confusion and nervousness. (Who the hell is this guy? How did he break my sword that’s made out of rare metal?)He had bought it in an auction for over 180K, so he believed it’d last with him forever.But now it completely broke beyond repair.As the guard captain’s anxiousness grew, a blue limousine arrived there.Seeing the blue-haired driver, the guard captain rushed over to meet him.

    As the night fell, a black benz left the Deville mansion.Darius was in the driving seat, but he wasn’t even holding the steering wheel.David sat next to him, and Sasha was in the back.“Let’s buy the hyper sense pills tonight, Dad,” Darius requested. “They will help me crack the super soldier entrance test. Once I pass that test, I can apply for the Brilliant guild.”“Each hyper-sense pill has a base price of 100K. So, if there are no other lucrative buys, we’ll buy as many hyper sense pills as you want,” David assured him and then glanced at his daughter. “Do you have anything you want?”“You are asking me what I want, but I don’t want to marry Ashton, Dad,” Sasha quickly said. “He’s a cheap guy who doesn’t have minimum common sense or character. How can I share my life with such a guy?”“Then why don’t you bring me someone who’s richer than Ashton Fletcher?” David retorted. “If you can’t do that, then shut up. You don’t know what’s good for you, so let me pave your way.”Sasha cou

    “Sir, wait!” a gray-haired man in his fifties scuttled over to Sawyer. He was wearing a Neville’s suit worth over a hundred grand. “Please, sir! I brought an item you wouldn’t wanna miss.”Sawyer stopped and glanced back at him.Fredrick snapped his fingers, and two men in suits quickly brought a glass freezer box.Inside the box, Sawyer could see tiny bee-like creatures giving off golden light. “Goldbees that are only found in the dry forests on the equatorial line,” Fredrick kept talking enticingly. “The honey created by these bees is used in making extremely rare potions. I’m sure it will help your sister’s condition.”Sawyer’s expression changed, but he tried not to look desperate and let out a deep sigh. “What do you want in return?”“Please consider leading my Brilliant Guild,” Fredrick lowered his head and humbly requested. He took out a platinum card from his pocket. “Please accept this card. It has 1 billion dollars inside. This is just an advance payment.”“I only got suspe
