Dillon whirled around to see a neatly dressed man in a black tuxedo. His hair which was relaxed stunned Dillon as it was black and shiny. This man looked no less than 50, but thanks to how good he had taken care of himself, he still walked and looked agile.

Young Master? The power he felt minutes ago left him as he got overwhelmed with extreme fear.

He looked at the elderly man and the elderly man looked at him, none saying a word. After a while, Dillon bolted. However, he was surprised to see he hadn't gotten far despite the fact his feet seemed to be moving.

Glancing down, he realized he was stuck to the same spot as before. What was happening?

"I'm sorry, sir. I had no idea they were your children. Punish me, beat me up, but don't take me to the cops as I have no money to bail myself." Dillon pleaded desperately.

This man was a part of a wealthy family as well. Of course it made sense that he had his own ability as well. And if that was the case, then he, Dillon, was screwed.

The elderly man had a confused look as he rushed up to Dillon, releasing him in the process.

"Young master, are you okay?" He asked worriedly, reaching out to touch Dillon. However, Dillon flinched and backed away. Seeing this, the man held back.

"Your son is over there." Dillon mumbled, pointing at the boys he had beaten up.

The man didn't spare them a glance as he quickly shook his head and introduced himself to Dillon, "Young master Dillon, I'm Brayden Darren."

"You know my name. How do you know my name?" Dillon asked suspiciously, relaxing in the process.

Now that he thought of it, there was no reason for him to run earlier. After all, all he wanted was someone to put him out of his misery. Having a wealthy man do it might heighten the chances of him being born again in a wealthy home in his next life. And even if it didn't, he could always die again.

"You were 9 months, 8 days and three hours old when your father and mother got into a ghastly accident which claimed their lives. I was your parents' chauffeur, responsible for driving them safely to any function they attended. However, I couldn't make it one day because your father tasked me with arranging your baby shower."

Brayden had to stop talking when he realized Dillon had his eyes pinned on him the whole time.

"Is anything the matter, young master?" He asked in confusion.

Much to his surprise, Dillon laughed out loud. Getting on his feet, he hissed, "I've heard of people like you. Actors who are hired to mislead people. I'm sorry, but I don't have a penny on me at the moment. In fact, I just got fired from my job, got beaten up by a guy my girlfriend was cheating on and just tried to kill myself. So if you're here based on James' order to make my life a living hell, you're late. Too late."

Brayden had his eyes widen in shock. The next second, he was having a moment while Dillon watched on awkwardly.

Even though this person was a con-man, he was still old and merely trying to make ends meet by doing something so disgraceful.

Dillon, who was empathetic towards the elderly and children, didn't have the mind to walk away. Instead, he took out the money the security guard had stuffed into his pocket and slipped it into Brayden's hand.

"It's not much, but it should be enough to take care of a few bills for you. Go extort someone richer." Dillon sighed and tried to walk away.

Brayden who had cried not because of the reason Dillon expected, but because he felt guilty and ashamed that the young master of the Grendel family was living such a pitiful life and it was all his fault.

He quickly got up and whipped out a black card from his pocket. "I'm so sorry to hear all about what happened to you, young master. And while you're not in the right frame of mind to hear what I have to say about the family you come from, please hold onto this. When next I return, I'll bring a proper one."

Dillon turned the card over, inspecting it.

"What is this? A mall or meal card? It doesn't even have a name on it." He asked suspiciously, glancing up at Brayden.

"It's one of the ten black cards in the world, young master. Even if you buy the whole country, it'll be like a drop in the ocean compared to the amount in that card." Brayden explained with a smile.

"And you want me to have it?" Dillon asked in amusement.

Of course he didn't believe this old man, but he was happy this old man had a good heart.

"If it's not enough, I can get you two of it or anything you want, young master." Brayden quickly said.

Dillon had doubt in his eyes, but he decided to leave it at that. His eyes went over to where the three boys previously were, but discovered they were no longer there. The only person there was their victim who was now emotionally traumatized.

"Young master, this is my card with my phone number on it. Call me if you need anything. No matter how small you think it is, don't hesitate to call me." Brayden told Dillon, placing his guard in Dillon's pocket.

Dillon merely nodded, not taking his words sincerely. He walked up to the girl and helped her up. Although his clothes were dirty, it was still a better covering for the girl.

Seconds after Dillon left, Brayden smiled broadly, the words, "He looks and acts just like his father." Escaping his lips.

Then he turned his attention to the money in his palm. He folded it neatly and stuffed it in his pocket, then he walked out to the main road where a black maybach exelero was parked.

No sooner had he gotten in did his phone ring. Taking a glance at the caller, Brayden's face changed.

"Did you find him?" An authoritative gruffy voice asked from the other end.

Brayden looked outside the car's window where he saw Dillon walking on the road with nothing on other than his briefs and black singlet.

Redirecting his gaze into the car, he responded, "No, I didn't. It was just a false alarm."

    The buzz that the President of Titanium Corporation would be present during the Brad family anniversary celebration sent a lot of families into hoarding various expensive gifts to appease him. In a few hours, a number of high profile brands sold off majority of their most expensive dresses and suits.Meanwhile, the cause of the sensation stood in front of the mirror in his room admiring the polyester black shirt he was putting on along with a gray sweatpant. The door to his room was pushed open and a tuxedo wearing Merlin walked in. He froze seeing the numerous branded clothes scattered all over Dillon's king-sized bed, then shifted his attention to the plain man standing in front of the mirror. "Merlin, what do you think of my outfit?" Dillon asked, still checking out his outfit. Merlin stepped into the room fully, gently closing the door behind him. "Are you going for a run?""No, why do you ask?" Dillon shook his head, obviously not noticing the sarcasm laced to Merlin's voice.

    When Dillon got home, he wasn't surprised to see someone sitting outside the huge gate. "As surprising as it may sound, you should know I'm homeless now." Merlin chuckled as soon as he saw Dillon. "When I saw the news that you beat up Moses Lake, I knew you were in big trouble. I just didn't expect that your father would kick you out." Dillon said the first thing that came to his mind, taking his seat beside Merlin. "My father and his wife have been looking for an opportunity to kick me out for a very long time. Now he can use my actions as an excuse to make David his heir." Merlin smiled bitterly. "You're joking, right?" Dillon raised a brow and tilted her head to look at him, "I heard your father's company is good with interior decorations. And I need a company I can trust to help me with something." "I'm flattered the first Corporation you thought of as soon as you assumed office is my family's." "What does it matter? I'll just ask Dahmer to find another he can trust." Dillon

    In Titanium Corporation, Vanessa and Rachel patiently waited in the lobby for Dahmer to show up, but seconds turned into minutes, and minutes to hours and soon they were waiting for three hours. Rachel moved uncomfortably in her seat, her eyes moving around the place in awe and in a little embarrassment. The receptionist had been throwing strange, but familiar glances her way. She shifted her eyes to Vanessa who was happily tapping away on her phone. "We've been here for three hours. Are you sure the chairman will still come today?" Vanessa paused for a moment and glanced up at her, "My father said he'd come. Let's wait one more hour before we leave, or are you tired of waiting?" Vanessa raised an aggressive brow which prompted Rachel to shake her head vigorously. "Of course not! I'll stay with you until we're done here!" "Good." Vanessa said and returned back to her phone. If not that she heard James took a liking to Rachel, she'd never have let someone of her class get close t

    Time seemed to stand still as seconds dragged on without Dillon acknowledging Dahmer's presence.While the security men looked at the scene uncomfortably silently trying to convince themselves Dahmer must've made a mistake, they had no idea the insides of his crisp white shirt clung to his body, drenched in cold sweat.As if to make matters worst, Dillon slowly took his foot off the vice captain's back and watched, his face bearing an icy expression.The vice captain ignored the searing pain in his back as he walked towards Dahmer with his nose held high up in the air. Of course, the retard had to let him off because he knew he was in trouble. Once I make Mr. Wade realize he was bowing to the wrong person, there's no telling how messed up he'd make this scoundrel's life be! With his train of thought going that way, the vice captain clearly thought Dahmer would thank him and possibly give him a raise if he cleared the supposed misunderstanding in the air. So as soon as he got to Dah

    The captain of the security guards wasn't around, so the vice captain hurried towards Dillon when he was told of who Vanessa's father was. “Truly, this place doesn't seem like a place someone like you should be in. Come with me and I won't have to involve the police.” The vice captain said haughtily, waving his baton threateningly. Dillon, who had been trying to reach Dahmer without success, sighed silently. Brayden wasn't also answering his phone. His lazy eyes settled on the vice captain and the entire squad he had brought with him to impress Vanessa. “I'm here to meet someone. I've tried to reach him, but he isn't answering his phone.” Dillon said in a respectful tone, but he sounded totally overbearing. The vice captain gritted his teeth in anger when he realized he seemed far better than Dillon. This scumbag had no right to talk to him in such manner. “You're waiting for someone? Pfft! That's what they all say when they come into a place like this. They pretend to be good p

    "If you keep this up, the school's not going to be happy. Your scholarship is on thin ice," Merlin warned, his voice tinged with annoyance.Moses snapped out of his thoughts, remembering that Dillon was still a scholarship student. If he truly came from an influential family, wouldn't he have put an end to the daily torment he endured?"You'd do well to heed his advice," he sneered, fixing a harsh gaze on Dillon.Dillon, recognizing the tension, reluctantly released the follower's hand."Good boy. Now, do what a good boy does and apologize for your earlier insolence," Moses exhaled, satisfaction evident in his tone, thinking Dillon was finally caving under pressure.With nearly all the students supporting Moses, the odds were stacked heavily against Dillon. Playing along seemed like his best option.Moses grinned smugly, convinced that Dillon was starting to understand his place."Don't test my patience, or it won't end well for you," Moses warned, his patience wearing thin.Dillon gl
