“My bad,” Sawyer rubbed the back of his head in mild embarrassment. “I didn’t mean to break the items. He grabbed me from behind, and I reacted…”

“You mean to say you accidentally threw a 300 pound man, with one hand at that?” Darius coldly glared at Sawyer. “Do we look like dumbasses to you?”

Darius was well-trained in martial arts and had a black belt, so he knew that what Sawyer did was nothing short of extraordinary.

“Yes,” Sawyer seemed rather innocent.”I-I didn’t mean you are all dumbasses. I meant that I accidentally threw this guy. By the way, when is this Big Dog coming?”

A brief silence filled the hall as his words further enraged the Deville family members, especially Noelle.

“Tell this rowdy to get out! Now!” David roared at Sasha.

Sasha’s whole body jerked at once in fear. She quickly looked at Sawyer. “Please leave.”

“Are you sure?” Sawyer couldn’t help but ask. “Will you continue to let your family members use you and decide your future for you?”

Sasha’s heart dropped. “H-Huh? What are you—”

“Stop spouting nonsense, you scoundrel! Who’s using who?!” Maria picked up the fork and threw it at Sawyer.

Sawyer caught the fork with two fingers. “That was dangerous…” his gaze momentarily turned sharp, but then he expectantly looked at Sasha once more.

She said nothing and wasn’t even willing to look at him.

She was too afraid to go against her parents and do anything.

“I want you to know that I didn’t exploit you,” he took out a small pouch from his back pocket and put it in her hand and whispered to her, “If you don’t want to feel ‘hot’ at night, you should eat what’s inside the pouch. One pill every evening would do.”

And then, he walked away.

Nobody told him to stop.

Sasha briefly glanced at him, but in a few seconds, Sawyer was gone.

“Throw that pouch in the trash,” Maria commanded her daughter.

“Aren’t you curious, Mom?” Noelle quickly intervened. “Let’s at least look at what's inside that small bag.”

“It probably contains drugs of some sort,” Darius opined. He had curly hair just like his father. There was no such thing as baldness in the Deville family, and they were all blessed with good genes. “The way he threw Big Dog… that’s not something one can do without the help of drugs.”

Some other family members nodded in agreement.

“These days so many people are taking drugs to pass the super soldier test,” Darius’ wife, Grace, opined. She was short and also had short hair. “He must be one of those.”

Just then, Big Dog woke up. “Where am I?” He looked around but didn’t recognize anybody. “Who am I?”

“Throw this dog shit out,” Maria roared with great irritation. “I must never see his face in this mansion again!”

The other butlers and maids, eight of them, together had to take Big Dog away.

Finally, it was silent in the hall.

It felt like peace was once again restored in the Deville mansion.

“You are going to meet your fiance tonight, Sasha,” David said, breaking the silence as he saw fit.

“Dad, I met him at the party yesterday,” Sasha quickly replied. “Ashton Fletcher isn’t just a playboy. There are rumors that he slept with underage girls. I won’t marry someone like him in a million years.”

“Shut your mouth,” David barked. “You don’t know what’s good for you, which is why you brought trash into this house and slept with it. But the Fletcher family is one of the biggest traders of precious goods. They’re only going to get richer in this war-ridden era without actually having to fight on the frontlines. If you get married into his family, it will secure our future.”

“I totally agree with your father,” Maria backed her husband. “In these turbulent times, developing strong relationships with powerful people is crucial for surviving and also thriving. You may think we’re using you, but this is for your own good. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.”

Sasha looked bitter. “I don’t like Ashton, so why don’t you let Noelle marry him?”

“Pfft,” Noelle nearly choked on the food. “I’m still studying, sis. I have to become a Certified Super Assistant. H-How can I get married any time soon?”

“You’re meeting Ashton at the Fletcher Auction Club tonight,” David told Sasha. “Whether he slept with a pig or a piglet in the past, it doesn’t matter as he’s capable enough to suppress the news. You’re going to make a deep impression on him.”

Sasha frowned very much. (I have to mess up tonight’s meeting with him somehow. Mm?) She secretly opened the pouch that Sawyer had given her.

Her eyes widened after seeing that it was full of various colored crystals that looked far more precious than diamonds.

“He said there were pills inside. He calls these crystals pills?” she didn’t recognize them. “Did he buy these fake shiny things from some cheap store? And he even told me to eat them? Ashton is way better than this cheapskate Sawyer. Ashton can at least buy me real jewels unlike this jokester! But I can’t marry either of them. Why is it so hard to find the right man?”

At the same time, outside the Deville mansion.

The guard spat on Sawyer as he walked out. “You are lucky that they didn’t loose the dogs on you, keke, or they would have stripped you of your clothes at the very least. Kekeke.”

“They did loose a big dog on me,” Sawyer wiped the spit off his shirt. “But your laugh is more annoying.” He squinted his eyes.

A gust of wind blew and ripped apart the guard’s clothes, leaving him with nothing but half-worn, half-torn underwear.

“AHHIYYEE!” the guard screamed in great embarrassment and ran away into the nearest bushes.

Sawyer took his mobile out, which was nothing more than a flexible plastic strip, and dialed a number. “Helia, find out who is selling the New Moon Nether Rose in this city.”

“Yes, Young Lord,” a sweet female voice rang from the other side. “But where are you now? When are you coming back home? SSL members have been spamming us with repeated messages, asking for your whereabouts.”

“Screw SSL. They suspended me first, and now they’re trying to act like nothing happened. Forget about them for now, and send me the details regarding the New Moon Nether Rose herb fast,” Sawyer commanded. “Oh, and also, buy the company named Goldblood.”

“Goldblood? Isn’t that a perfume company?” Helia sounded confused. “I’m sure you’re not a fan of perfumes. Why are you interested in buying that company? Did someone from that company tick you off or something?”

“Just buy it, okay? Bye,” Saying that he ended the call.

He looked back at the mansion.

“Sasha Deville… I did what I could to help her, but that drug is going to make her nights difficult until the new moon night. If she takes the pills I gave her, she’ll feel better and will also attract less negative forces.”

Sawyer kept walking.

When he reached the street corner, he saw a long line of six-wheeled Hummer cars. Dozens of men in suits stepped out of the cars and kneeled before Sawyer.

“Give me a break,” Sawyer turned the other way and kept walking.

    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
