Chapter 9
The silence in the room was broken by the shouts of the thugs. "B-Boss, wake up!" they cried, their faces pale as they looked at Tom lying weakly on the floor."Sorry, I'm late," said Halston, helping Kyra to her feet."How can you be here?" Kyra frowned, certain she had never given Halston her home address."That doesn't matter right now. I told you I'd help you if something happened." Halston took off his suit and placed it on Kyra's shoulders, covering her disheveled clothes."So you're that damn courier?" Julian jumped to his feet and glared at Kyra. "Didn't you say you didn't know him?""I've seen him often because he's the food delivery guy, but I don't know him well.""You should've dragged him here from the start so this mess wouldn't have gotten this big!" Nick snapped.Anger burned in Kyra's eyes. "If you hadn't been late paying his debts, none of this would've happened," she defended Halston.Helen's weak voice tried to mediate. "Kyra's right. We shouldn't have borrowed mon
Chapter 8
Edmund was startled. "You mean… Mia wasn't the one who saved you?" He quickly bowed. "Forgive my incompetence, Sir! That means I gave you the wrong information two years ago!"Halston raised his hand, stopping the apology. "You're not wrong. The woman who saved me was indeed from the Brown family. But it wasn't Mia, it was Kyra," he said, his eyes fixed on Kyra's photo, the same girl he had helped at the restaurant yesterday.All this time, he had never met Kyra at any of the Brown family gatherings because she and her parents had been kicked out two years ago. According to information from William, Matteo had faked the details after learning the Overlord was searching for Kyra. He wanted Halston to marry Mia, his beloved granddaughter.Halston handed the folder to Edmund. The pain of being betrayed by Mia slowly faded, replaced by a new purpose."This time, I'll repay the favor properly!"In a modest house on the outskirts of Rivertone, shards of glass were scattered across the floor
Chapter 7
"What is this? Miles Rowan knows that loser Halston?" someone whispered, their voice full of surprise."Looking at how respectful Mr. Rowan is, Halston must have an extraordinary identity!" another person replied, shaking their head in disbelief.Mia stood frozen in the middle of the crowd, her face as pale as paper. Her hands were clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms until they turned white."No… this doesn't make any sense!" she hissed, her eyes locked on Halston. "How could that useless delivery man know Miles Rowan?"Her mind raced, looking for a reason to deny what she was seeing. But Miles was still standing there, looking at Halston with admiration. He had only come to this party because of pressure from his business associates.But who would have thought that, in the middle of this arrogant crowd, Miles would meet someone like Halston. He had known Halston ever since he received his first capital from Dominion Capital, a company owned by the Overlord himself.How
Chapter 6
The five-thousand-dollar check Nolan had given was lying on the marble floor, dirty and crumpled. The guests couldn't believe Halston dared to act so boldly, especially considering his status as a useless son-in-law."W-What are you doing, Halston?" Mia shouted, her face red with anger. "How dare you humiliate Nolan in front of everyone?"Halston looked at her coldly. "Didn't you hear? I'm cleaning the dirt off my shoes with this check. It's not even enough to wipe all of it off," he responded indifferently.Nolan lost his fake smile. The arrogance he always showed disappeared, replaced by a sharp, threatening glare. He stepped toward Halston with clenched fists, the veins on his arms bulging."Do you understand the consequences of your actions today, delivery boy?" he growled.Halston didn't respond. He slowly walked toward Mia, his sharp gaze making her take a half-step back."Are you really sure about this divorce, my wife?" he asked, looking for one last opening in Mia's heart.Mi
Chapter 5
Soft classical music filled the air at Fave Luxury Hotel, where Rivertone's most exclusive party was held. The grand room sparkled with crystal chandeliers and tables adorned with white linen. This party wasn't just a celebration but a stage for the city's elite to flaunt their status.Held once a year, the Rivertone Exclusive Gala invited only those deemed worthy. That's why guests frowned when Halston appeared alone at the entrance.Every rich person knew about him since he married a promising woman like Mia. He looked striking in a black suit from a famous luxury brand. But the guests in silk gowns and expensive tuxedos stared at him like dirt on a red carpet.Jack, Mia's father, squinted at Halston. "What beggar wandered into our party?" he mocked loudly, his voice echoing and drawing small laughs from the group around him.Mia, standing beside Jack, waved at Halston. Her husband hurried to her side like an obedient dog."How long did you beg to afford that, huh?" Jack taunted, ey
Chapter 4
Kyra didn't know whether to be afraid or amazed by Halston. But she quickly prepared his order again. "W-Wait a moment, sir!"Meanwhile, the thugs stood huddled near Tom. They couldn't believe he'd been defeated."B-Boss, are you awake?" one called, but silence answered.No thug dared to move. Their eyes were fixed on Halston, who stood calmly amid the chaos."W-What are you waiting for?!" another thug shouted, trying to muster courage that had already faded. "We'll win if we attack him together!"Though hesitant, the thugs finally moved. They charged as a group, some wielding sharp weapons, others relying on bare fists.Halston snorted and, without looking, landed a punch on the first thug's jaw. A hard kick hit the second's stomach, making him collapse with a groan. A smooth spin took down the third, his head hitting the floor. One by one, the thugs fell in just minutes.At the door, the remaining thugs hurriedly dragged Tom's unconscious body away. One, with a pale face, stopped at
