Clara actually gasped.“Wait,” she said, almost laughing in disbelief.She shook her head lightly.“Stop joking.”She stepped a little closer, lowering her voice but keeping her tone firm.“I’m giving you the chance to look at the car—as a young guy that you are—so you can at least brag to your friends that you’ve sat inside a 2026 S-Class Guard… while we’re still in 2025.”Clara continued, half teasing, half testing him.“I’m even giving you the opportunity to take pictures with it. Post it on your social media. Flex however you want.”She folded her arms lightly. “So stop trying to play games with me.”Elijah shook his head slowly. “It seems you misunderstood,” he said calmly. “I didn’t come here because I wanted to take pictures.”His voice didn’t rise. It didn’t harden. It remained steady.“I came here because I wanted to buy a vehicle.”He looked directly at her. “I told you that if I looked at the interior and liked it, I would buy it.”He took a small step forward, composed. “S
Chapter 515: Clara vrs Mensen
“Yes,” Elijah replied calmly.Menson stepped forward quickly.“Clara, you can’t just walk into my showroom and do this,” he said sharply. “This isn’t your space.”Clara didn’t even look at him.But before she could respond, the same attendant from earlier leaned toward Menson and whispered just loud enough.“Sir… just let Madam Clara take him,” she said dismissively. “After all, he’s only going to waste her time. He’s not buying anything.”A few of the staff nodded quietly in agreement.Menson hesitated.He looked at Elijah again—cab arrival, simple outfit, calm face.Then he scoffed lightly.“Fine,” he said coldly. “If she wants to entertain him, she can.”He turned to Clara with a forced smile.“Be my guest.”Clara’s lips curved slightly—not amused, but confident.She turned back to Elijah.“Sir,” she said politely, gesturing toward the exit, “shall we?”The room watched closely.Elijah nodded calmly.“Alright.”Without another word, he walked beside Clara as they exited Menson’s sh

The red emergency lights began flashing across the glass walls.Customers gasped and stepped back.One of the attendants shouted, “Sir! Please step away from the vehicle!”The alarm echoed loudly through the hall.The alarm kept blaring as two security guards rushed over.“Sir, step aside please,” one of them said firmly.Elijah didn’t resist. He stepped back calmly, hands relaxed.The attendant who had welcomed him earlier hurried over, her expression tight with anger.“Why would you unveil that?” she demanded.Elijah looked at her evenly. “It’s a showroom. What’s wrong?”“Do you even know what car that is?” she snapped. “That’s a Mercedes-Benz S-Class Guard. Do you know how much that costs? It’s reserved for a special display later today. How dare you remove the cover?”Elijah nodded slightly.“Honestly,” he said calmly, “it’s a beautiful car. I think I love it. Will you show me the inside? If it’s as nice as it looks, I’ll buy it.”“You—” she started, stunned.She quickly bent down
Chapter 513: Showroom
Elijah stood still for another moment, then nodded to himself.Decision made.He walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the water run over him—cool at first, then warm.After bathing, he stepped out, dried off, and dressed neatly. Clean shirt. Dark trousers. Simple but sharp. No unnecessary flash.He glanced at himself briefly in the mirror.Calm. Controlled.Then he left the room and walked down the hallway toward the kitchen.In the kitchen, he found the meal Sierra had left for him. He warmed it up, plated it, and sat at the dining table alone.After finishing his meal, Elijah rinsed his plate, wiped his hands dry, and headed back upstairs briefly to grab his phone and wallet and walked out of the estate to the road side area Elijah stood there calmly for a moment, then lifted his hand slightly.A yellow cab slowed.He opened the back door and got in.“Where to?” the driver asked, glancing at him through the mirror.Elijah leaned back against the seat, composed as

Chapter 512: Betty And Sierra Plans
Elijah stood up from the car slowly, eyes still fixed on the camera pole.“Tomorrow,” he said calmly, turning to Phantom, “you people begin with Felix.”Felix nodded immediately.“Find the control access for that camera,” Elijah continued, “and any others covering this road. I want full coverage before the shot, during, and after. Every vehicle. Every pedestrian. Every shadow that moved.”Phantom adjusted the long gun in his hand and nodded once.“It’ll be done.”“And don’t just check this stretch,” Elijah added. “Trace exits from this road too. Whoever did this had an escape route planned.”Felix looked at him seriously. “We’ll map it.”Elijah’s tone remained steady, but there was weight behind it now.“I need all details before I travel out for Christmas vacation,” he said. “No assumptions. No loose ends.”Phantom’s eyes darkened slightly.“You’ll have answers.”Elijah gave a final glance toward the buildings ahead, then slipped his hands into his pockets.“They thought tonight was
