Chapter 371: Selene Returns
Kael shook his head instantly. To him, accepting a split would completely defeat the entire purpose of helping her secure the prize in the first place, turning a simple gesture into something transactional. "No, that won't work.""Okay, how about this?" Selene compromised quickly, holding up a finger. "I'll give you $300,000 and keep $700,000 for myself. That's a perfect middle ground, right?"To her utter disbelief, Kael shook his head once more."That's still you giving me about twenty-seven percent of the total winnings, which is way too large," Kael smiled lightly.Selene stared at him, her jaw dropping slightly in sheer exasperation. "You... you're literally the first person I have ever met in my entire life who is actively rejecting free money! Wait," she paused, her eyes narrowing as a new thought struck her. "I don't even think it's because you don't have money. If you were truly broke, there is no way you'd be turning down hundreds of thousands of dollars like it's nothing.
Chapter 370: The Bullies III
The sudden, brutal sound of the slap hung heavily in the air, sending a collective jolt of pure, icy fear straight through the hearts of the four bound men. They were shaking so violently now that the wooden chairs beneath them scraped against the stone floor in a frantic, rattling rhythm.Kael stood completely still, his face locked in a hard, dangerous frown as he stared down at the groaning bully.Brian swallowed hard, his throat tight. He stepped closer to Kael, his voice barely above a whisper. "Kael... I'm sorry, I really am, I shouldn't have lied to you about the card earlier..."Kael exhaled slowly, the sharp anger in his eyes softening just a fraction as he looked at his friend. He gave a quiet, reassuring nod. "It's alright, Brian, I'll keep this."With steady fingers, Kael slipped the sleek black Monarch Dining VIP card into his inner jacket pocket. He then turned his full attention back toward the center of the room."For now, these people need to be taught a lesson they w
Chapter 369: The Bullies III
All four bullies erupted into hysterical shrieks, their faces twisting in pure, unadulterated terror as they squirmed violently against the heavy ropes. The bravado they had shown moments ago completely disintegrated into desperate, weeping chaos."It wasn't me! I swear it wasn't me!" the first guy cried out frantically, tears streaming down his bruised face as he tried to point his head toward the guy sitting next to him. "It was him! He was the one who pushed Brian first! He came up with the idea to target him at the hostel!""Shut up! You liar!" the second bully screamed back, his voice cracking in panic as he glared at the first guy. "You're the one who dragged us into it! Didn't you literally take his watch last week?! Didn't you force him to give up his lunch money and hit him against the lockers?!""I only did it because you told me to!" another one sobbed out, weeping so hard he could barely catch his breath. "Please, Boss! Don't use the bats! We'll give back everything! W
Chapter 368: The Bullies
Kael looked at Brian, a subtle, easy smirk on his face as he offered a small shrug. "Well... my men are professionals," Kael said smoothly, his tone light and unbothered. "They probably had their own ways of handling things, or maybe they just have special access that allows them to move in and out easily no matter what." Even as Kael spoke the words out loud, he found himself briefly reasoning through it in his own mind. Aurelia Heights had some of the most ruthless perimeter protocols in the entire city, but the Black Shield operatives under Lord Dominic's system were a different breed entirely. If they wanted to transport four bound bodies through high-level checkpoints without raising an eyebrow, they certainly possessed the clearance and cold efficiency to pull it off without a hitch. Brian stood there, listening to Kael's calm explanation, his eyes widening even further in pure amazement. “Special access? Professional men who can just move people through Aurelia Heights wi
Chapter 367: The Bullies
He recognized every single one of them instantly. These four were students from his academy hostel, the notorious, relentless bullies who had made his life a living hell for months. "What, how are they here?!" Brian finally managed to choke out, staring at Kael in utter bewilderment. Kael turned his head slightly, looking at Brian with a calm, gentle expression. "I had them brought here, aren't these the exact four who bullied you?" A few hours ago, when Kael had driven over to pick Brian up for the Heritage Banquet Dinner, he had noticed a small adhesive plaster resting on the upper corner of Brian's eye. When Kael had asked about it, Brian had quickly brushed it off, claiming he had accidentally bumped his face against a locker. Kael, knowing Brian’s quiet and gentle nature, hadn't believed a single word of that excuse. He knew instantly that Brian was being targeted by hostel bullies. Even when Kael had offered to walk into the hostel and handle it right then and there, Bri
Chapter 366: Kael Reveals Identity To Brian
Kael looked at Brian, listening quietly as the frantic questions tumbled out of his friend’s mouth. Facing Brian’s dead-serious gaze, a soft, amused smile touched Kael’s lips. It felt almost funny to hear everything laid out like that, but Kael wasn't surprised in the slightest. In truth, after everything that had unfolded throughout the night, he had been expecting Brian to ask him this for a long time.Kael gave a slow, calm nod. "I knew you were going to ask me this eventually, Brian.""I really want to know, Kael," Brian pressed, stepping closer, his voice dropping to an urgent whisper. "There is no way you just walked away from $1.1 million for Ms. Whitmore without blinking! There is no way you live in a high-end estate like Aurelia Heights driving a $100,000 Mercedes GLE that you swear isn't rented! Even if it were rented, keeping a machine like that would cost an absolute fortune every single day! You can't be just a poor guy from the countryside. Tell me, who are you really?
