Chapter 507
Ragnar’s eyes snapped to Belinda. His voice dropped low, sharp as a blade.“Tell me the truth. Did you set this up with that dirty bastard just to scam me?”Belinda’s face drained of color. “No—no. I didn’t know. I swear.”“Oh, come on,” Alex said lazily. “You promised me ten percent of whatever price I managed to squeeze out of Ragnar. Now he’s on the hook for a hundred thousand. That means you owe me ten thousand, as agreed.”“Shut up,” Belinda snapped. “I don’t even know you.”She knew Alex was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between her and Ragnar.She was only a baron’s daughter. If Ragnar struck her, she had no power to fight back. All she could do was swallow the fear—and the pain.Ragnar stepped closer, his shadow swallowing her. His gaze bored into her face.“Then tell me,” he said coldly, “who do you think should pay for that ring?”Belinda swallowed hard. “R-Ragnar… according to the rules, the bidder has to pay.”His hand flashed.Slap.Pain tore across her cheek. Her

“Whatever.” Renata had no patience left for someone like her.“Five hundred dollars. That’s the price. Are you selling it to Sofina or not? If not, take it home and stop wasting everyone’s time.”Belinda scanned the room with a crooked grin. “Anyone want to gamble five hundred on this piece of shit?”No one answered. In an age of screens and holograms, a dusty old relic meant nothing to most of them.Belinda laughed sharply. “Oh? So this piece of crap goes to Sofina. Same trash, same owner.”Her voice rose in exaggerated theatrics. “Come on. Let’s give her a big round of applause. At least that shitty painting is worth five hundred dollars.”A few people clapped half-heartedly, more out of awkwardness than approval.Belinda’s smile hardened. She shoved the painting back into its box and thrust it at Sofina. “Pay up. Take this shit home with you.”Sofina transferred the money without a word, her face calm, her eyes refusing to acknowledge Belinda’s existence.Belinda didn’t stop.She m

Tobias was fighting the system. He searched through every circuit, every logic chain, every safety layer. Minutes passed. His brow was soaked in sweat.Everything was perfect.Every system reported normal. Every parameter was within optimal range.And yet the machine had fallen out of the sky.Ragnar laughed again, sharp and cruel. “Face it, Tobias. You won’t finish a mobile suit this year either. Same failure. Same ending.”Alex spoke casually, as if changing the subject. “Sofina, have you heard about the fake driver case in Eden Group? You should be careful about things like that.”“What?” Sofina turned to him, confused.“A driver once pretended to work for Eden Group,” Alex continued calmly.“He turned out to be a competitor’s spy. Once inside the vehicle, he installed a virus that triggered a controlled malfunction. I heard it nearly caused a fatal accident and was meant to sabotage one of Eden Group’s most important clients.”“Alright,” Sofina nodded, still unsure why Alex brough

After all the gifts were collected, the class reunion truly began.People spread across the hall, greeting one another, exchanging stories about their lives, their failures, their victories. Some spoke with genuine nostalgia.Others smiled while quietly calculating profit, scanning the room for connections to exploit—like multi-level marketers, insurance agents, and investment salesmen hunting for their next target.Every conversation carried tension beneath the laughter.Then the announcement dropped.The Winchester Stadium officially revealed this year’s Mobile Suit Tournament.A ripple of excitement swept through the room.From the VIP area reserved for the reunion, the entire stadium lay open before them—vast, gleaming, alive with light. At the center stood the machines themselves.Mobile suits.War machines built for human pilots. Three to five meters tall. Capable of flight, space travel, and combat in nearly any environment.To most people, they were simply giant robots. To tho

“Oh—yes, the VÖXEN Seraphine hiding under first-generation camouflage,” Alex said with a bright, almost playful smile. “I called the previous owner to clear up the mystery.”“And…?” Renata leaned closer.“Turns out,” Alex said, trying not to laugh, “the man was obsessed with the VÖXEN Seraphine. Absolute dream car. But his wife hated the idea—said it was a waste of money, that he should buy her gold or jewelry instead of some overpriced machine.”“But he wanted it so badly that he bought it behind her back. He knew she’d explode if she found out how much he spent. So he activated the camouflage mode and disguised it as a first-generation VÖXEN. His wife never suspected a thing.”“And…?” Sofina pushed.“One day they got into a huge fight. His wife, furious, sold the ‘first-generation VÖXEN’ for a dirt-cheap price. And I happened to be the one who bought it for eighty thousand.”“Damn,” Renata muttered. “You’re insanely lucky.”“Alex,” Sofina said, worried, “this VÖXEN Seraphine is wort

Alex smiled at Ragnar. “I have to admit. You’re really working hard to piss me off. Congratulations. The price just went up—three million for your arm. And your heart?”He shrugged. “Five million. If you want to bargain, complain, or throw a tantrum, go ahead. I’ll keep raising the price until I walk away with your real arm and your real heart.”“Alex,” Sofina called. “What are you even going to do with the money and the car if Ragnar pays?”“Well,” Alex said, eyes softening when they met hers, “I’ll give them to you, of course.”She bit her lip, worry tightening her voice. “If you’re really okay with that… Ragnar’s my classmate, my friend. I’m not taking anything from him.”“Sure,” Alex said with a small smile. He already knew what she would do. Sofina couldn’t hurt anyone—not if she could avoid it.She’d return the money and the car the moment she had the chance. That was just who she was. And for Alex, the amount itself was nothing—pocket change.He didn’t need Ragnar’s money. He n
