Chapter 20: The Spotlight of Scorn
A massive wave of loud applause and cheering exploded through the grand banquet hall. The top billionaires and wealthy politicians of the city stood up from their velvet chairs, clapping their hands wildly.A ten billion dollar investment from the legendary Sterling Group was enough to turn the Vance family into the absolute kings of the entire region.Patriarch Vance stood on the center of the stage, holding his head high like a proud emperor. He waved his hands gracefully, enjoying the bright flashes from the television cameras that were broadcasting his face to millions of homes across the country.Clara clutched Christian’s sleeve tightly under the table, her face turning completely pale. Marcus, did you hear that, she whispered, her voice trembling with deep panic.The Vance family just got ten billion dollars from your old company. Their power is unlimited now. If they find out we are here, they will destroy my father in one second.Christian did not look worried at all. He sat
Chapter 19: Entering the Lion’s Den
The loud sound of the smack echoed across the marble steps. The giant security guard stumbled backward, his hand clutching his bright red cheek in total shock. He looked at his boss with wide, confused eyes, completely unable to understand why he had just been hit.Chief, why did you do that, the guard stammered, his voice shaking. I was just throwing out the bums.Shut your mouth, you blind fool, the head of security screamed, his voice cracking with pure terror. He did not look at his guard anymore. He kept his body bent in a perfect ninety degree angle, his forehead almost touching the dusty red carpet beneath Christian’s expensive handmade boots.Julian Vance stopped laughing instantly. His jaw dropped so low it looked like it would fall off his face. His wealthy socialite friends froze in place, their expensive wine glasses shaking in their hands. They stared at the hotel security chief as if the man had suddenly gone completely insane.Chief, what are you doing, Julian yelled, s
Chapter 18: The King’s Card
The head of security waved his hand with total disgust, signaling his heavy guards to move in. The two giant men stepped forward instantly, their big leather boots clicking loudly against the marble stairs. They raised their heavy wooden nightsticks, ready to grab Christian and drag Clara and her old father down to the dirty street.Julian laughed out loud, his eyes filled with a sick, happy look as he watched the scene unfold. Go on, throw them into the gutter where they belong, Julian shouted, crossing his arms arrogantly. Let them see what happens when poor people try to play with the gods of the city.Clara screamed in panic, stepping right in front of her father to block him with her own small body. Her hands were shaking violently as she looked at the giant guards. Father, let us just run away, she wept, her voice full of deep fear. They are going to hurt us.Christian did not move a single inch. He did not look scared at all. His body was as steady as a massive mountain. Just a
Chapter 17: The Arrogant Return
The loud laughter of the two massive security guards echoed across the wide marble steps of the grand hotel. Clara felt her face burning with a mixture of hot anger and deep shame. She clutched her father’s arm even tighter, feeling the old man’s body trembling beside her. The rich guests around them stopped to enjoy the free entertainment, looking down at the slum family with sneers on their wealthy faces.Before Christian could say a word, a sharp, highly irritating voice sounded from behind the crowd. Well, well, well. Look what the wind blew out of the dirty gutters tonight.The crowd parted down the middle, and Julian Vance stepped forward. He was not wearing his muddy white suit anymore. He had changed into a bright purple silk suit with sparkly diamond buttons, trying his absolute best to look like a king again. He was flanked by several upper class socialites, young rich boys and girls who held expensive glasses of wine and looked at the world with pure arrogance.Julian had l
Chapter 16: The Seven-Star Barrier
The massive black limousine came to a smooth stop in the private underground garage. The heavy door clicked open. Christian stepped out onto the polished concrete floor, his handmade leather boots making a sharp, confident sound. He looked at Vance, who was bowing deeply at the side of the car.Stay downstairs with the men until I give the word, Christian ordered, his voice smooth and steady.Yes, Master Christian, Vance replied with total respect. The shadow security team is completely ready.Christian walked toward the private elevator that led to the ground floor entrance of the seven star grand hotel. He looked down at his custom midnight black suit. The fabric was so rare and finely woven that it looked like a simple, neat black outfit to anyone who did not know about extreme luxury. It did not have flashy logos or bright colors. Only a true royal billionaire would notice the platinum threads hiding inside the seams.The elevator doors opened into the grand lobby, and Christian w
Chapter 15: The Guest List of Traitors
Christian adjusted the cuffs of his brand new midnight black silk shirt. The smooth fabric felt nice against his skin, a massive change from the rough, itchy clothes he had worn for two long years in the greasy kitchen. He sat back on the soft leather seat of the limousine. The engine let out a very quiet purr as the long black car rolled out of the dark slum alley and onto the smooth main highway.Vance sat across from him, holding a slim, glowing electronic tablet. He kept his head lowered, showing absolute respect to the true king of the Sterling Financial Empire. Master Christian, before we arrive at the grand skyscraper, I must show you the exact setup for tonight, Vance said, his voice flat and serious.Speak, Christian commanded, his voice deep and perfectly steady. The look in his eyes was so sharp that the interior lights of the car seemed to reflect off them like ice.Vance tapped the screen of the tablet, bringing up a list of names and high-definition photographs.
