“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.

    After walking away from Vicky, Sawyer headed downstairs.He didn’t take the elevator but the stairs because there were too many people using the elevator.Most of them weren’t even willing to take the stairs as they didn’t want to climb down 110 floors even when their lives were at stake because of the baby rabbiton running around.Sawyer also had another reason to take the stairs because he could smell the rabbiton in the air.However, he came across something interesting.A couple of men were forcing themselves onto a woman. They pushed her against the wall and were telling her to shut up.These were the same men who had harassed the housekeeper Robin the other day.“What are you guys doing?” Sawyer asked them, his hands in his pockets.“Ah? Isn’t it obvious?” one of the men blurted. “If you don’t want to get hurt, then mind your business like the others.”It wasn’t just Sawyer who was taking the stairs. There were other people, but none of them stepped in to help the lady being mol

    Noelle was fast on her feet, but the baby rabbiton was much faster.Its anger and hunger made it close the distance pretty fast. Using its momentum, it bashed itself into Noelle’s back.Noelle pathetically crashed forward and rolled twice vertically on the floor.It made her whole body sour.The baby rabbiton jumped and landed on her abdomen and was about to rip her belly open.However, once more, it felt a chilling energy tingle its soul.It looked toward the source of this energy and saw Sawyer.It started to gasp all of a sudden and then turned the other way and ran.The two officers just caught up with it now and blocked off its retreat. “You’re not going anywhere.”They both used laser guns to shoot at the baby rabbiton.But it was smart enough to dodge those bullets and flee downstairs. The officers chased it.Sawyer walked over to Noelle who was still on the floor and struggling to get up. He offered his hand.Seeing him, Noelle was surprised. “Y-You are… my sister’s… What are

    On the top floor.“My name is Artur,” the silver-badged STF officer sat down at a table. Vicky was sitting next to him.Sawyer was sitting on the other side of the table. “Don’t waste my time and get to the point.”Artur smirked and said, “Before that, I want to know how you became the owner of this grand hotel. What is your identity?”“I won’t say this again,” Sawyer’s voice turned a bit cold. “Get to the point.”Artur squinted his eyes. “Fine. There’s no need for the rich to drag each other through the mud. So, let’s settle the differences between you and Mr. Vicky with money.”“Some things can be settled with money, but not the crimes that Vicky has committed,” Sawyer replied without any hesitation. “The new moon nether herb is an extremely dangerous drug. I don’t know how he got his hands on that herb, but I will make sure to find out the source and pluck it out by roots.”“Hahaha,” Artur laughed. “You are saying that you’ll do MY job?”“When you’re not doing your job correctly, t

    A few minutes earlier.Noelle and Lima were on the 110th floor.“Why the heck did you bring me here?” Lima complained. “I wanted to go for a bath in the Mermaid Pool!”“Stop kidding. There was no way you could have donned a swimsuit with so many eyes watching,” Noelle said.“Hmph, silly girl,” Lima pinched her cheek. “I would happily wear a bikini when there's an audience. It seems you’re a virgin.”“N-Not at all! I’ve had four boyfriends! Without my family knowing!” Noelle quickly said.“Having boyfriends doesn’t mean having sex,” Lima laughed. “Anyway, tell me why you dragged me here.”“I’ve heard that they are conducting an exam for super assistants here,” Noelle said.“Super assistant?” Lima rolled her eyes. “Your sister did tell me about your dream of becoming a super assistant, but it’s a highly competitive job. Are you sure you have what it takes to become a super assistant?”Noelle grinned and pointed her thumb at herself. “I will become the best super assistant in the world.”

    “Do you have something you say?” Sawyer asked her.It wasn’t just his attention that was on her now, but almost everybody around was looking at them.Sasha was very much used to attention, but right now, she felt suffocated.Her mother wanted her to apologize to Sawyer for the sake of her family.But she couldn’t bring herself to do it.“N-No. I have nothing to say,” Sasha said and quickly backed away.Sawyer’s gaze shifted back to Vicky. “Admit your crimes, Vicky. Then I will see to it that your prison sentence will be reduced.”Vicky gritted his teeth.Just who was this young man for him to dare utter such words to Vicky Fletcher who could make many billionaires sweat from just hearing his name?Vicky’s ego did not allow him to agree to Sawyer’s demands.Just then, three members in dark green dress arrived there.“They’re the STF!”STF was the Super Task Force. They had the power of the policemen and magistrate put together.Vicky had no idea how they got here, but he walked straigh

    “Boss?” Vicky quickly asked the manager. “Why are you calling him boss?”“Because he’s my boss,” the manager replied. “He’s the owner of Sunrise hotel.”Vicky’s eyes swelled out of the sockets.The six guards stepped back in great trepidation and gasped for air.Eureka’s face turned sour because she could foresee what was going to happen not just to her and her brother but to their entire family. (We’re fucked. We walked right into his trap!)The Deville family members just stood frozen in utter confusion.“H-He’s the boss of Sunrise hotel?” Maria’s face turned quite ugly like an aged lily whipped by a buffalo’s tail. “H-How’s that possible? Isn’t he just a waiter?”Sunrise was a grand luxury hotel with 111 floors, and the top floor was something even billionaires find it hard to get a reservation for.Even the lowest floor would require one to pay over a quarter million per night.From the 90th floor and above, it would cost over a million per night just for staying.
