The auction hall fell silent as the representative approached Alexander, carrying the velvet box containing the rare ruby ring. Every eye in the room fixed on him, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.

"Sir, payment for lot forty-seven is required now," the representative said, extending her hand professionally.

Victor leaned forward, a cruel smile twisting his features. "Oh, this should be entertaining," he announced loudly, ensuring everyone could hear. "Watch carefully, ladies and gentlemen. We're about to witness the most pathetic display of the evening."

Alexander reached into his jacket without hesitation and withdrew his black card. The metallic surface gleamed under the chandelier lights as he handed it to the representative.

"Wait just a moment!" Victor shot to his feet, his voice dripping with mockery. "Miss, I insist you verify that card thoroughly. Check every single detail—the name, the account holder, everything. I have serious doubts about its authenticity."

  • CHAPTER 47

    When Alexander heard Cornelius Vanderbilt introduce himself as the owner of this horrific establishment, rage burned through his veins like molten steel.Every instinct screamed at him to tear this man apart for the countless lives he had destroyed through his human trafficking operation.But something deeper than conscious thought held him back – a discipline so ingrained it felt like breathing.His military training, whatever fragments remained in his muscle memory, kicked in automatically.His face remained perfectly composed, his breathing steady, his posture relaxed. To any observer, he appeared completely calm.Alexander realized that if anyone would know about the mysterious hooded figure with the third ring, it would be Vanderbilt.The owner of an operation this sophisticated would have connections throughout the criminal underworld."Mr. Howard," Vanderbilt continued smoothly, "a man who can casually spend ten million dollars clearly has refined tastes. Perhaps I can interest

  • CHAPTER 46 PART 2

    The auctioneer, clearly nervous about the confrontation unfolding in his venue, signaled to a staff member who quickly brought over a portable payment terminal. The device was state-of-the-art, capable of processing transactions of any size."Here we go," Tony said with malicious satisfaction. "Time to expose this fraud for what he really is."Alexander took the terminal without hesitation and inserted his black card. The room fell silent as he entered his PIN and waited for the transaction to process.Tony's grin faltered slightly as the machine took longer than usual to respond. "It's probably trying to figure out how to decline such a ridiculous amount," he said nervously.But then the terminal beeped softly, and a receipt began printing out. The word "APPROVED" appeared clearly on the screen, along with the transaction details: $10,000,000.00 – PAYMENT SUCCESSFUL.The silence in the room was deafening. Every face that had been twisted with smugness and anticipated victory was now

    The tension in the room was palpable as more wealthy members gathered around Alexander, their expressions a mixture of skepticism and barely contained hostility. The auction had come to a complete standstill as everyone waited to see whether the mysterious newcomer could back up his unprecedented bid."This is absolutely ridiculous," declared Benjamin Crawford, a heavyset man with gold teeth who owned several casinos. "A ten million dollar bid from someone we've never seen before? It's obviously a scam.""Exactly," agreed Preston Whitmore, a thin man with nervous eyes who ran a chain of luxury hotels. "New members don't just walk in here and start throwing around that kind of money. It's clearly a bluff to make an impression.""I am definitely not bluffing," Alexander said firmly, his voice carrying an authority that made several members take an unconscious step back."Then prove it," Tony demanded, his face still flushed with anger and embarrassment. "Show us this magical black card

  • CHAPTER 45

    Alexander stared at the horrific scene before him, his mind processing the reality of what he had stumbled into.This wasn't just an exclusive club for the wealthy – it was a front for one of the most depraved criminal enterprises imaginable.Human beings were being bought and sold like commodities by men in thousand-dollar suits who sipped champagne while destroying lives.What surprised Alexander most was his own reaction. Instead of panic or overwhelming horror, he felt a cold, calculating calm settling over him.His mind was already analyzing escape routes, counting potential threats, and formulating plans. This kind of tactical thinking felt natural, automatic – as if he had been in similar situations before.Marcus's words echoed in his memory: "You're either a General or an Admiral belonging to the God Clan." Maybe the thug leader had been right. Maybe this unnatural composure in the face of extreme danger was proof of his true identity.A well-dressed auctioneer stepped up to

    "I'd like to join immediately," Alexander said, placing his black card on the receptionist's desk with quiet confidence.The receptionist's eyes widened as she picked up the card with trembling fingers. "Of course, Mr. Howard. Let me process this right away."She swiped the card through her terminal, and both of them watched as the transaction was approved without any delays or complications. The ease with which a million-dollar charge went through seemed to stun her into silence."Welcome to the Gentleman's Club, Mr. Howard," she said breathlessly. "If there's anything at all you need during your time here, please don't hesitate to ask me personally."Alexander nodded curtly and walked past her desk into the exclusive club beyond. He had no interest in her fawning attention – his only goal was finding the third ring or whoever possessed it.The interior of the Gentleman's Club was even more opulent than the lobby. Rich mahogany paneling covered the walls, leather furniture was arrange

  • CHAPTER 43

    Alexander approached the tow truck driver, hoping to negotiate the return of his vehicle, but the man's attitude was immediately hostile."Look, buddy, I don't have time to deal with parasites like you," the driver said without even looking up from his clipboard. "Your piece of junk is going to the impound lot, and that's final.""I just need to explain that this was a mistake—""The only mistake here is you thinking you belong in this neighborhood," the driver interrupted with a sneer. "People like you are like cockroaches – you infest nice areas and bring down the property values.""If you could just listen for a moment—""Listen to what? Some sob story about how you can't afford the fees? Save it for someone who cares, loser."Alexander realized that arguing with this man was pointless. Every second he wasted here was time he could be spending on finding the third ring."You know what? Keep the car," Alexander said, turning away from the tow truck."Smart choice," the driver called
