The servant who had just insulted Maverick sat limply on the floor, unable to utter another word; regret radiated from his eyes.
East, who witnessed everything, was also shocked by Maverick's actions. He knew that Maverick was rich, but wouldn't even rich people think twice about buying so many clothes at once?Seeing that East and the store manager were silent, Maverick rebuked him in a sarcastic tone, "Why? Am I not allowed to shop here?!" Maverick asked while glaring at the two people.East immediately woke up from his reverie, he hurried to answer, "N-no, sir! Of course you can," replied East while forcing a smile on his face. He turned to the store manager, "Quickly pack everything! Don't forget to give a discount to Mr. Douglas!" he ordered excitedly."Are you insulting me, East?! Do you think I can't buy everything without a discount?!" Maverick scolded, this time his voice was a little louder. His palms clenched at his sides, showing his dAt the Sainterm family residence, Lucia looked very lethargic in her room. For some reason, today she felt unable to fight the deep bad feelings caused by Maverick's words.His heart felt like it was being torn apart, but she couldn't complain to anyone. no one understands his feelings, not even his father, Drako.Drako always tries to give the best for his child, but often his busy work means that Drako cannot understand Lucia's heart.Indeed, in her heart, Lucia felt that she had never had someone who could really listen to her stories and feel the pain she was experiencing.Outside her room, Matias, the Sainterm family's loyal bodyguard—was worried about Lucia's situation. Lucia didn't leave her room all day. he felt he had to act, even though he was only Drako's subordinate, he felt he understood Lucia better than his own biological father.With careful steps, Matias approached Lucia's bedroom door. "Knock... Knock..."Matias
Nakata sits in the middle of the pattern Maverick drew, as Maverick's blood drips. Immediately, the pattern glowed red around Nakata's body.In his heart, Nakata realized that this method was a forbidden way to increase strength, and only a handful of people knew about it. The reason is, this method summons the aura of a deceased person and applies it to people who want to increase their strength.The risk is indeed big, but it is very effective if you succeed in controlling this power. Otherwise, that person's soul would be devoured by the summoned aura.The night sky which was once full of stars has now turned pitch black. Suddenly, a flame appeared above Nakata's head.Each aura that appears will match the aura of the person in the pattern. Coincidentally, Nakata has a fire aura, so the aura that comes out of that pattern is also a fire aura.The aura immediately infiltrated Nakata's body, who was deep in meditation. suddenly, Nakata f
While Maverick was digging up information from the Fire Spirit Goddess, the system suddenly sounded in his mind.[Happy! You've spent 45 million dollars. You will get 200% cashback of 90 million Dollars. The money has been sent to your bank account. Your current balance is $122,600,100.]Maverick sighed, as if the system was interrupting his important conversation. Plus, at the same time, his cell phone rang."Hello, why else Herlinda?" Maverick asked in an annoyed tone."M-Mr Douglas, I have bought two helicopters. they will send him tomorrow to the roof of the Martial Arts School. But where should one more helicopter be sent? "There's only one foundation at a martial arts school," said Herlinda in a doubtful voice on the other end of the phone.Maverick rubbed his forehead, trying to suppress irritation because his attention was divided between the conversation with the Fire Spirit Goddess and the helicopter problem that had to be resol
Maverick was silent, deep guilt enveloped his heart when he thought of Lucia and Gracia. His face looked depressed, his lips trembled with emotion. If he explained the forces he was facing, I was afraid they would worry.But if not, they will definitely get hurt. maverick felt a dilemma when choosing how to get away from them. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, then made a decision.With a heavy heart, Maverick decided not to tell the two women. For him, this was the only way to get them away from him, even though he had to risk breaking Gracia's, Lucia's, and his own feelings.However, it was a better option than putting them at risk. Meanwhile, for Nadira, Maverick doesn't really care.For him, Nadira is just a friend and idol who he admires, not liking or even loving. Maverick's face looked lighter when he remembered Nadira, but the big responsibility on his shoulders still didn't disappear.***<
The martial arts school has now started to open registration for prospective new students. Many people are interested in enrolling, especially because education is provided free of charge.Even though there are contract terms that must be agreed upon when they first join, this still benefits the students. The reason is, they will only have their salaries cut by 5% after they are accepted to work.All the prospective students seemed eager to take part in the registration, because becoming a bodyguard promised quite an attractive salary, especially if they were successfully recruited by rich people. Of course, a 5% cut was not a big amount for them.***Meanwhile, Maverick looked relaxed in the living room, lost in his thoughts. Suddenly Marisa appeared and surprised him. "Come on! Surely you're having dirty daydreams, aren't you?!" said Marisa mischievously."What are you doing, little one!" Maverick sighed in annoyance while looking at his you
Lucia's slap landed hard on Maverick's cheek, making his ears ring. He endured the pain and decided not to retaliate.Maverick looked at Lucia, the woman's eyes seemed teary. "Lucia, I know I was wrong, I was too naive, I..." Before Maverick had finished speaking, Lucia had already rushed over and hugged him tightly."Are you stupid? Do you think you can solve all your problems yourselfMav, I also want to share my pain with you, I don't want to see you struggle alone, I want to always be by your side when you are happy or sad!" said Lucia with tears dripping down, wetting Maverick's shoulders.Maverick hugged Lucia back, holding her body tightly. "Sorry," he said softly as he closed his eyes, feeling the rhythmic heartbeat in their embrace.The two of them hugged each other for several minutes, without anyone wanting to let go of each other, letting feelings and longing flow freely in that embrace.Even though she had only been with Maverick for a few days, Lucia felt a deep longing fo
Maverick sat on the sofa in the room, stretching his body tiredly after meeting the Sainterm family. Now he is grappling with thoughts about the next steps in dealing with the Red Hood Group problem.Suddenly, his cell phone rang, startling him momentarily from his reverie. Maverick looked at the cellphone screen, saw Ririna's name displayed on the screen in the call."Hello, what's wrong, Ririna?" Maverick asked after picking up the call.On the other end of the phone, Ririna sounded excited, "Mr Douglas, there is good news!""I'm well?" Maverick raised his eyebrows, responding to Ririna's words with curiosity."That's right, Mr. Douglas. There is a restaurant owned by the Vermalen Family that is going to be auctioned because they are in a lot of debt. The Vermalen Group is also slowly starting to go bankrupt, they don't know who attacked themhowever, in my opinion, this is an opportunity for Douglas Corporation to take over the shares o
Lucia caught Tania's regretful eyes and asked Maverick, "Do you know that woman, Mav?"Maverick just nodded without answering Lucia's question directly. He seemed reluctant to reopen the bitter memories with Tania.Maverick immediately sat down and asked Lucia to sit beside him. The sensitive Lucia realized that Maverick was avoiding her question. She also chose not to repeat the question, so as not to ruin Maverick's mood.Meanwhile, Ririna and Sardat were standing behind Maverick, who was sitting in the back seat with Lucia. Previously, Miler invited Maverick to sit at the front, but was refused on the grounds that he would not be the center of attention.The host opened the auction with enthusiasm, "Hello everyone! I'm Martin Garrix, welcome to the Vermalen Group Auction event. today we will be auctioning three Vermalen Group restaurants, the Sapphire Diamond Necklace, and of course a land in Lutown City covering an area of ten thousand square
