“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 suspended from SSL, not expelled,” Sawyer responded. “Besides, I have no interest in joining any guild or organizations.” He gently pushed the card away. “But…” He took the freezer box. “I’ll take this one. In return, I’ll help you once in the future under the condition that your request doesn’t go against my conscience.”

Frederick pursed his lips together and said, “Please take the card, too.”

Sawyer, however, walked away as he had no need to accept money.

Frederick’s assistant, a young female, asked him, “Boss, why did you lower yourself so much for this particular young man when we have so many other promising candidates?”

“Sure, the alphas are all strong,” Frederick said while staring at Sawyer’s back, “but some lone wolves are superior to alphas. They don’t care about hierarchy and power as they believe in themselves and live and breathe by their own code. If we can get such a lone wolf to lead our pack, he might become our biggest sword and shield.”

Sawyer, on the other hand, stopped in front of a 100-floored luxury hotel Sunrise.

“This place will do. I’ll stay here until Helia updates me on the information I asked her.”

There were no guards outside.

The automatic doors opened for others, but they didn’t open for Sawyer.

The receptionist and the manager came rushing over, and the glass door slid open. “Your face isn’t in our database.” Her hand was on a laser gun.

“Are you a criminal?” the bald male manager asked.

Sawyer put his hand under his suit. “I’m taking out my identity card, so don’t shoot.”

Despite what he said, she ended up shooting.

However, the laser bullet bounced off in a different direction before it even hit him.

The receptionist was wide-eyed. (The laser bullet got deflected?)

Sawyer’s gaze turned cold, but he showed the identity card and a ring.

After seeing those items, the expression on the receptionist and the manager completely changed.

“S-Sorry for the trouble, sir,” they greeted him humbly. “Please come inside.”

“Forgive my rudeness, sir,” the manager humbly said, “I will allot the penthouse to you. Even billionaires have a tough time reserving the top floor. It costs a quarter million dollars per hour, but I will give you a thirty percent discount. The infinity pool there is pretty sick. Its walls are made of mermaid scales. Just staying in that pool is good for the physical health of men… if you know what I’m saying, sir.”

Sawyer, however, put a signed blank check in the manager’s hand and said, “Tell your boss I’m buying this hotel.”

The receptionist was slack-jawed. The Sunrise hotel was worth over forty billion dollars. How could this young man say he wants to buy it?

“Also, both you and the receptionist will not receive this month’s salary for shooting at me,” Sawyer added, leaving both of them stunned.

Even though they tried apologizing, Sawyer didn’t forgive them.

“Since he’s part of SSL, and yet his face isn’t in the database, it must mean his identity is highly confidential,” the manager was pulling his hair in frustration. He then shouted at the receptionist. “How could you shoot at him! You should have waited, you fool!”

“I-I’m sorry. I thought he was taking out a weapon.”

In the end, both of them lowered their heads in defeat. Who would have thought Sawyer would buy the entire hotel just to cut their salary this month? What more was he planning for their future. Just thinking about it made their hearts race in trepidation.

At Deville mansion.

Sasha was checking online about how to check a woman’s virginity.

“Damn it. There’s no credible way to check a woman’s virginity?” she grew more frustrated and bit on her nails. “I don’t feel anything different down there. Did I really lose my virginity? I refuse to believe it.”

Just then, Maria entered the room.

“M-Mom!” Sophia nearly sprang up on the bed and then shut the laptop. “Knock before entering!”

“Did you tell us before you brought a stranger home and got knocked by him on this bed?” Maria asked angrily as she pulled the bedsheet from under her and tossed it out the window.

“I-It was my mistake, but it won’t happen again, Mom,” Sasha assured. “I promise.”

“Oh, you will never make such a mistake again because you’re soon going to be part of the Fletcher family,” Maria said, “whether you like it or not.”

Sasha frowned.

“Your task will be to get pregnant with Ashton’s kid,” Maria added. “ASAP.”

Sasha’s frown deepened. She clutched her dress tightly. “Am I a tool?”

“Stop overreacting. We’re not sending you to the jungle, but to a multi-billionaire’s home,” Maria said, her lips smiling but her gaze sharp. “So, do your best to raise the Deville family’s status. That is your job. Your only job. Don’t you ever forget that.” Saying that she was walking out of the room but briefly stopped and said, “Oh, and don’t forget to dress up well for the auction tonight. You must have Ashton’s eyes glued to you!”

Maria then left, whistling in a good mood, but Sasha slowly but surely broke into tears.

She had no one else she could trust outside her family. If only the world wasn’t in troublesome times, she would have probably left home long ago.

Meanwhile, at the penthouse of the luxury hotel Sunrise.

Sawyer was in the infinity pool with four pretty girls in mermaid suits on either side, trying to rub their bra-clad chests to him even though he didn’t seem interested.

“I’m staying here for peace not for pussy, so buzz off.” 

After trying their best, Sawyer still didn’t respond the way they wanted, so all the girls moved away from him while still winking and smiling at him, hoping he’d change his mind.

Sawyer’s mobile vibrated.

He pulled it out from his pocket which was underwater.

The mobile, which was nothing more than a piece of thin flexible plastic frame, was working just fine even though it was underwater for a while.

He answered the call. “Did you find a name?”

“Yes, Young Lord. The Fletcher family is behind the appearance of the New Moon Nether Rose herb,” Helia replied from the other side, hinting disgust through her tone.

“Where can I meet the head of that family?”

“They are having a grand auction tonight, so Vicky Fletcher should attend the auction,” Helia said. “They have a strict entrance policy, so I will mail you their invitation card and the items they’re selling tonight.”

“Don’t bother. I will enter the building one way or another.”

“Also, I bought the Goldblood company in your name for 3.2 billion dollars. It’s worth more, but because it’s you asking, they were willing to lower the price.”

“Well done,” Sawyer smiled. “I will reward you when I’m home.”

He then ended the call.

“The whole world is in chaos, and these bastards are selling dangerous drugs to fulfill their sick fantasies,” Sawyer’s gaze was filled with the sharpness of the wind. “Even though I’m suspended right now, I can’t overlook what they’re doing.”

Just then, he received an email listing the items being auctioned tonight.

When he saw the name ‘Evergreen Flower’ on the list, his eyes widened.

This was one of the three main ingredients required to treat his sister’s condition.

“Is this for real?”

    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
