“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.

    Maria got so emotional she nearly dropped the mobile.“A-Are you telling the truth?” Maria asked. “This isn’t some prank call, right?”“Our CEO, Emily Walker, is probably already on her way to your home, ma’am,” the voice on the other side of the call replied. “Please do greet her well as your family is also going to be shown on the television.”Maria was thrilled to hear that.The call ended, and Maria started yelling YES!“What happened?” David asked. “Did you win a lottery or something?”“No. It’s bigger than the lottery!” Maria excitedly yelled. “Our family won the best customer of the year award for the Goldblood perfume company!”“Oh…:” David had expected so much, so he was a little disappointed that it was just an award.Sasha, however, had a faint glow in her eyes.She took out her mobile and checked online and then smiled. “Mom, do you know that the best consumer of the year is eligible to buy as many as thirty percent shares of the Goldblood company?”“What?” Maria was pleas

    The next morning.Sasha came downstairs and saw the new head butler, Big Wolf, beating up a few people.“Hey, what’s going on here?” Sasha cringed with disgust because the blood of those people was dirtying the carpet.“Good morning, ma’am,” Big Wolf saluted her first. “These contractors are responsible for constructing our shopping mall.”“Why are you beating them?”“The other night, the slight vibrations caused the half-built mall to collapse,” Big Wolf said, startling her.She checked the photos Big Wolf showed on the tablet.“Even the pillars have cracks in them?” Sasha frowned. “They used less cement and more sand, huh…”“Yes, ma’am,” Big Wolf showed another image. “I’ve calculated all their expenses and made a rough estimate. The real cost for the construction so far was approximately 32 million dollars, but they charged 49 million from the Deville family.”Sasha’s gaze turned piercing cold. “If the little earthquake didn’t happen, then this would have gone unnoticed. And the fi

    Later that night.Though the Deville family members prepared a grand dinner menu, Sawyer did not even come out of his room after bathing.When they sent a butler, Sawyer told him he was feeling too tired, and he just wanted to sleep.So, there was nothing Maria could do other than throw most of the food outside.After dinner, Maria told Sasha to try and enter his room that night, but Sasha politely refused.“He said we can date, so there’s no need to force anything now, Mom,” Sasha tried to reason with her.“Date? Haven’t you both already done that?” Maria asked. “So why do you want to date again? You should straight away move to fixing the engagement date.”“Mom, don’t push me with this, okay?” Sasha’s eyes turned sharp.Her mother had tried to force her to marry Ashton until a day ago, but now, she completely flipped the script and began forcing her to marry Sawyer instead.“How am I pushing?” Maria quickly retorted. “I’m only telling you to wed your lover.”“On the first day you me

    After entering the mansion, Sawyer sat down on the couch.“Do you want me to call Sasha?” Maria asked him after ordering the maids to prepare the bath for him.“No need,” Sawyer was staring at the television which was showing a cartoon program where humans were fighting the famous monsters of the current times.Coincidentally or not, Zombieman was also there in the show.“Mom, do you know who took care of Zombieman?” Noelle asked.“Of course, it’s the Empyrean,” Maria replied quickly. “Everyone knows that. All the criminals were taken care of by him.”“Not all the criminals, Mom,” Noelle smiled and looked at Sawyer. “It was Sir Sawyer that took care of Zombieman.”Maria blinked a few times. “What?”David’s eyes enlarged very much. Zombieman was a worldwide infamous criminal with strength that could destroy a city. He was considered a potential threat to humanity itself. So, how could such a monstrous criminal lose against Sawyer?David didn’t believe it even for a second.He thought t

    Sasha’s nervousness wasn’t unfounded.Considering the past, Sawyer must be here for only one reason. To get his payback.But how could her own mother, Maria, not see that? She was just that blinded by the possibility of establishing a positive association with someone socially superior.Sasha, however, was not daydreaming. She was very much aware of her own position right now, given how snobbish she had also acted on the morning she had found Sawyer in her bed.She had branded him poor and judged him by his clothes and the lack of any lingering perfume on his body.All the signs that day pointed out that Sawyer was poor and was likely after Sasha’s wealth.So, Sasha did what she believed was necessary.In hindsight, she believed that she was a little bit harsh that morning, probably because she was not able to control her emotions well after seeing a man in her bed. He was charming, yeah, but he was still a stranger.Now that stranger became a phenomenon in just twenty four hours.Saw

    Until evening, Sawyer visited many places around the city and didn’t just write checks for those who were in need. He also offered them advice and hope.Many people asked him which city he belonged to, but Sawyer told them that he’s a human, and that’s all that mattered.Even though he did not reveal the name of the city he was born in, Mayor Benedict and many others believed that he was likely a person from Jewel city.After all, only that city was known to have immense wealth because it was a place full of powerful supersoldiers. Most of the world-famous supersoldiers came out of that city.Now, Sawyer was making a name for himself.The news agencies, the celebrities, and even the big businessmen from all around the Summit city wanted to meet him.However, none of them had Sawyer’s contact number.So, they all tried to contact those who were next to Sawyer.This included the mayor, Noelle, and also David.Even Maria and Sasha were also getting calls because David was on the truck th
