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.

“Nice timing,” Sawyer used this opportunity to enter through the gate.

“Sir Mike! It’s an honor to see you,” the guard captain greeted the youngster who stepped out of the car.

This youngster Mike pushed the guard captain away and rushed over to Sawyer. “A-Aren’t you… Sawyer Brews?”

“Shh!” Sawyer shut his mouth. “Who are you? Wait…you are Fredrick’s son, right?”

Fredrick Ray was the head of the Brilliant Guild, the one who had asked Sawyer to lead his guild and was willing to pay a billion dollars in advance.

“Yes, sir. My name is Mike. I saw you many years ago. I didn’t think it was you, but it really is you,” Mike’s eyes were lit up. “I’m a hardcore fan of you. C-Can I take a selfie?”

As Mike kept talking with Sawyer, the guard captain who was standing about thirty feet away was not having a good expression on his face. (Dammit. Did I mess with some bigshot? I have to right my wrong.)

He hurried over and bowed, “Forgive me for not recognizing and attacking an important guest.”

“I’m no guest,” Sawyer replied, leaving the guard captain puzzled. “Just like how a restaurant can’t stop a food inspector from entering their place, this auction site can’t stop me from entering, either. I don’t need to explain myself further. Do you still want to block my way?”

“I wouldn’t dare,” the guard captain kept his head lowered, a big bead of sweat sliding down his face.

As Sawyer walked away, Mike followed him.

Mike was just eighteen years old, but he looked even younger because there were no signs of mustache or beard on him.

“Just one selfie, please,” Mike pleaded like a kid.

“I’m not a hero or a celebrity for you to take a selfie with me. Don’t irritate me and go your way, Mike,” Sawyer tried to be patient with him.

“Y-You’re here for the auction, aren’t you?” Mike said. “Can I sit next to you?”

Sawyer sighed. “Your persistence definitely comes from your father, but I’m sure you’re here for the auction, too. So, focus on your work, not on me.”

After patting Mike’s shoulder once, Sawyer walked away.

“No matter what you say, you’re my hero!” Mike said a bit loudly, not caring if others could hear his words or not.

Sawyer smiled angrily as Mike kept following him. (If he wasn’t just a brat, I would have slapped some sense into him.)

Mike, on the other hand, made a call to his father. “Dad, guess who I met at Fletcher auction?”

“Who? Don’t tell me it’s your mom?” Fredrick asked while smoking in his bathtub. “Is she still bothering you to make me take her back?”

“No, Dad. I met the Empyrean…”

“What?” the cigar dropped from Fredrick’s hand. “Are you sure it’s him?”

“I just talked with him, Dad. You should hurry up.”

“I-I’m coming. In case he needs money, help him!” Fredrick said, jumping out of the bathtub. “I’ll give you full freedom!”

Mike grinned in excitement. “I will do everything I can to get a selfie from him.”

“A selfie? The fuck do you mean?”

“N-No, no, Dad, I mean, I’ll help him in every way I can.”

Meanwhile, the black benz stopped at the main entrance into the auction grounds.

Once Sasha stepped out, camera flashes lit up the night and every face nearby.

Many men looked at her with eyes full of different intentions.

Receiving stares from unwanted men was nothing new for her, and she didn’t even bother to look at them.

Nobody was allowed to enter the auction site, so everyone had to stand outside for the time being.

Just then, a red lamborghini stopped.

A red-haired beauty stepped out, and many rich young men had their eyes on her, for she was Eureka Fletcher, the only daughter of Vicky Fletcher.

Many wealthy men went to shake hands with her, but she totally ignored them.

She had the air of arrogance around her through and through.

“I am managing the auction tonight,” Eureka said aloud, “and I’m going to be fair to everyone. I will not give personal preference to anybody.”

Her black female assistant standing behind her with a pro-pad in her hand whispered in Eureka’s ears. “That’s the Deville family.”

Eureka’s eyes fell on Sasha. “Ah, so she’s the one my dad wants Ashton to marry. I wasn’t present during my brother’s engagement, but she looks okay at best. My dad wants my worthless younger brother to marry that woman just because she’s growing into a successful entrepreneur. He must see great potential in her, but she’s not even a certified super assistant. She’s nothing in my eyes.”

Sasha, who was nearly thirty feet away, could sense a bit of iciness and mocking in Eureka’s eyes. “She’s so full of herself.”

“She passed the super-soldier test last month with a great score,” Darius told her in a low voice. “Many guilds are lining up for her. Of course, she’s going to be haughty.”

Darius knew how difficult it was to pass the super soldier test.

Every year only 5 to 6 percent out of the millions of applicants around the world would pass this test.

Even the ones who failed the test but reached the later rounds in the test would still be sought after by guilds and other organizations.

Darius barely managed to pass the first round last year, and he was itching to do better next time.

“I don’t get it,” Sasha said annoyedly. “Why do you want to become a super soldier so badly when we already have so much money? Are millions of dollars not enough?”

“Millions won’t save us from what’s coming, Sasha,” Darius was able to freely talk because David had left their side to greet Eureka.

“And what’s coming?”

“Don’t talk like you don’t know,” Darius sighed. “The extraterrestrial and subterranean forces are doing their best to enslave humanity and take over the earth. Unless we’re in the top one percent, we might not be able to survive the coming decade. That’s why, along with getting rich, we also have to get physically powerful. Mm?” Darius noticed a somewhat familiar face in the crowd. “Isn’t that… Mike Ray? Wait… why is he walking with that trash?”

“Trash?” Sasha looked in that direction and spotted the handsome guy next to Mike. “Sawyer?”

“How did that bastard get inside?” Darius coldly looked at his sister. “Was it your doing?”

“W-What? No! I have no idea how he got in!” she quickly. “I’ve been with you all this time, haven’t I? Maybe he used that boy Mike to get inside?”

“Hmph,” Darius didn’t believe his sister’s words. “Call the guards and get him kicked out.”

“W-Who?” Sasha’s expression froze. “M-Me?”

At that moment, a Lamborghini arrived at the main entrance.

Ashton Fletcher stepped out of the car. And he wasn’t alone.

He was with a model who had a lollipop in her mouth. And he wrapped his arm around her shoulder as camera flashlights lit up their faces.

Ashton, on the other hand, gave poses to the cameras and noticed that the girl next to him was staring at someone else.

When Ashton looked in that direction, he saw Sawyer, and his expression turned serious. “That motherfucker… isn’t he the one who tricked me last night and took Sasha home? I’m going to make him bleed from his bottom tonight!”

    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.
