Nicholas frowned, his brow furrowing. “And why is that?”

The waiter looked apologetic but firm. “We require a reservation for parties of more than two. May I check your reservation?”

Rosemary stepped forward, her eyes narrowing. “We don’t have any reservation.”

“Then I am really sorry, I cannot allow you to enter the restaurant. Please make a reservation first.”

“There are still a lot of empty chairs there. Why not just accept us?” Jasmine protested with displeasure, her voice rising. “We are just going to eat and go away.”

“I am sorry, ma’am,” the waiter explained, bowing respectfully.

“It’s not about the chairs. The food we serve is organic and grown by us, which means it’s limited. That’s why we usually require reservations. Additionally, you need to be a member to make a reservation.”

Nicholas Gray rarely went to restaurants with family-style dining or romantic kind of dining.

He mostly frequented establishments known for their nightlife. “Alright, let’s just make me a member. The

    Alex glanced at the trio, his eyes filled with frustration."Have you ever heard that if you give a man a place to step back on, you will have a better life? Can you just pretend you don't see me here?"Rosemary pressed on, her voice dripping with malice. "I want to see you getting kicked out of here. I will even record a video when you are getting kicked out and post it on the internet!"Nicholas barked at the waiter, "What are you waiting for? Go call your manager. Do you want to get fired?"The waiter looked at Alex with a face not knowing what to do."They demand a manager. Just go call your manager here," Alex said. The waiter, like receiving a command, hurriedly went to find his manager.Jasmine yelped, "I want to see how you get out of this problem!""You know what?" Alex said, his tone calm. "It's very easy. I've had enough of eating here, so it's time for me to leave. You can have fun talking to the manager while I’m going out."As Alex walked out of the restaurant, Nicholas

    Alex received a call asking him to return to the restaurant, but what he saw was not something he liked.He was a prince, and using his power to bully the innocent was the last thing he wanted. Although the people here were not completely innocent, they were just fools."I never told you to do something like this to them," Alex glanced at the manager, his eyes full of frustration."Yes, but it was the last request from Mr. Kane Wood," the manager explained. "He said no one could look down on Mr. Alex our new boss."Alex noticed Kane looking from his private room, clearly having no good intentions in making the Gracy family and White family hate him.When Alex glanced back at the four of them kneeling, they looked at Alex with disbelief."What? He's the owner?" Nicholas Gray couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Are you fucking kidding me?"Rosemary was also shocked. "How could this loser become the hotel owner?""What general backing!" Jasmine yelled arrogantly. "If your owner had

    Lily scoffed, "What you're thinking isn't correct. I'm telling you, you'll regret letting go of Clean Water Company. I'm going to make it to the very top!"Nicholas Gray glared at Ava with displeasure. "Ava Sharp, you are totally wrong. With Gray Company making new investments in Clean Water Company, I think it will only go up, never down."Alex stared at Nicholas in disbelief. When people tried hard to avoid trouble, why did he insist on entering Clean Water Company, the source of all tragedy? Are you idiot?Alex could only shake his head.Ava secretly looked at Alex's face and smiled. "Well, if the Gray family wants to enter Clean Water, I can only congratulate you on your success. I might even give you a free lunch. What do you think?""If it's free," Jasmine added, "of course, I'll take it."She called for the manager, "Give me all of your expensive food here! Bring me the most expensive wine!" She already planned to call for a hundred thousand dollars wine.Ava grabbed Alex's han

    As Alex walked down from the hotel to the entrance, there were about twenty private special forces, appearing like high-rank mercenaries with complete bulletproof bodies and weapons.The leader, named Joe, had a scar over his eye and an aura of danger around him. “Miss Ava, we will guard you and Mr. Alex to the location. Please feel at ease; we will hunt whoever dares to kidnap Miss Eva.”Alex’s eyebrow raised, “Do I need to be guarded too?”Ava stared deeply at Alex, “You are important to me; of course, you need protection.”He couldn’t say anything against the care that Ava gave, so he sat beside Ava in the car, and they went to the address, which was outside the city, near the jungle.“No need to worry,” Ava said to comfort Alex, as his face was serious and sharp, looking around, ready for any action.“They are the special forces of Sharp Company. They are stronger than many fighters, especially Joe, the leader. He has a lot of experience in war as a mercenary before we made him th

    Joe stepped forward, "I don’t know who you are, but do you think you will get it very easily as I'm already here?"At the same time, all twenty special forces members took out their guns and aimed at each of the kidnappers."Now our guns are pointing at each other," Joe smirked. "You shoot us, we shoot you. How does that sound? You die, I die. No one gets anything.""What do you want?" the kidnapper leader asked."How about we fight one on one? You choose five of your best people, and I choose five of our best. If we win, you let Eva go, but if you win, Ava will sign over not only half of the Sharp family business to you but the whole Sharp family business to you. No one needs to die!" Joe suggested.Ava's face turned shocked, "Joe, how can you make a decision for me!""Challenge accepted," said the leader, not backing down.Joe stared at Ava, "I am hired to protect your safety. At this time, I think this match is much better than shooting each other, where all of us will die and I fa

    Alex walked into the ground simple arena, still carrying his guns. His opponent, already in the arena, stared at him and said, "Don't you think you need to take off your gun in the fighting arena?""What? Are you still worried I will use gun with all your friends here?" Alex sneered. "I won't need my gun to defeat you.""Everyone, if he takes out his gun, just shoot him down!" the opponent yelled."No worries," the others responded.The opponent smiled and showcased his muscles. "It's great that you know your position, but sorry I will kill you here.""Why?" Alex smiled, still calm. "Is it because I'm not one of your people, so you won't pretend to fight with me?"The opponent rushed to kick Alex, but Alex evaded by stepping back. "All of you are really not good at hiding your killing intent, as I am an outsider," he said."Whatever," the opponent snarled, rushing to hit Alex again.This time, Alex had seen enough and decided it was time to execute his plan. As the man struck, Alex ev

    "Arthur Sharp," Ava sighed, her voice heavy with concern as she was on the front seat car. "Are you sure my uncle is trying to kill us?"Alex glanced at her beautiful face and replied, "I’m not really sure of anything right now, but I am certain there’s a traitor in your family who wants you both dead. It just so happens that the people trying to kill you are your uncle's men. So he is the biggest suspect unless there is someone else in your family who hates you."Eva, sitting in the back seat, protested. "All of the Sharp family has been kind to us. We’ve never hurt each other.""Whatever," Alex focused on the road as the car headed back to the hotel. "You can keep believing that and get yourselves killed. Or you can start being wary of everything from now on."Ava and Eva knew his words were true.When Alex reached the front of the hotel, neither of them got out. "What are you both waiting for?" he asked impatiently.The twins exchanged looks, and Ava spoke up, "I’m sorry to bother

    At one of the Clean Water Company branches, a group of people delivered a large liquid container."What is that?" asked the security guard on the entrance."We're delivering Sodium Hydroxide, like usual," said a man in a yellow suit, handing over a document. "Here is the paperwork.""What is that for?" asked the security guard, reading the document."Well, it is a liquid applied after the filtration process to adjust the pH levels of the water. It ensures the water is not too acidic or alkaline, which helps prevent pipe corrosion and ensures safe drinking water," the transporter explained.The security guard looked indifferent, yawning as he let them pass. As the group in yellow suits entered, they met a group of people in white clothing who wore badges from Clean Water Company."Let us take over from here," the man in white clothes said."No," the man in the yellow suit replied firmly. "We have orders to pour this liquid ourselves to ensure nothing happens.""Sure, everyone here is o

    “What? You—you actually pulled it off?” Philips stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief, panic clawing at his chest.The realization that his precious land would slip right into Ophelia’s grasp gnawed at him mercilessly.“Yes,” Ophelia replied happily. “I met Jessica Golden!”“No way!” Olivia sneered, her voice dripping venomous disbelief.“Absolutely impossible! You’re telling me you got face-to-face with Jessica Golden herself? Don’t make me laugh!”“Oh, I did more than meet her,” Ophelia replied with smug triumph, lifting her chin defiantly."Jessica Golden personally handed me the signed contract.”Her words detonated across the room, stunning silence gripping every heart.Philips slammed his hand violently onto the polished mahogany table, eyes blazing with fury."Ophelia, do you seriously think we’re idiots?” he spat viciously."Jessica Golden of the Golden Guild is a titan among the city's elite. Why in God’s name would she lower herself to even glance in your direction? Do you

    Meanwhile, Ophelia stood anxiously in the crowded hall, surrounded by people all impatiently waiting for their appointments.A few guests recognized her right away. Their eyes narrowed with contempt as they leaned toward each other, whispering loud enough for her to hear every cruel word.“Oh look, isn’t that the granddaughter of Viscountess D’Arcy?” one noblewoman said with a sneer, her voice oozing mockery.“The D’Arcy family has one foot in the grave, yet they still shamelessly show up here hoping to grab a piece of the Golden Guild project.”“I heard the old viscountess married her granddaughter off to the poorest baron in Haventon. Pathetic. And now she’s here? Maybe she should be peddling potions in the back alleys instead.”Those bitter words quickly drew attention, and the gathered elite cast scornful eyes at Ophelia, barely hiding their cruel amusement behind silk fans and smirks of mockery.Ophelia tightened her fists till her nails bit deeply into her palms.She muttered so

    Ophelia D’Arcy's voice sliced through the tense air like sharpened ice, her gaze colder than frostbite as she snapped, “I'm sorry, Grandpa Carrillo, but I don’t recall ever needing your help. And watch your filthy mouth! You're old enough to have grandchildren who are my friends—don't you have a shred of dignity left?”Robert Carrillo stood there stunned, his jaw hanging slack in disbelief.Rage and confusion battled across his wrinkled face. “Ophelia, I’m doing you a favor! Why are you still defending this worthless fool? Wake up and see reality—yes, I'm older, but I have wealth that could drown this pathetic bastard. What could he possibly offer you?”Alex Leonhard’s eyes flashed dangerously as he seized a glass from the table and hurled its icy contents straight into Robert's startled face.Dripping with chilling menace, Alex warned softly, “Better wake up, old man. Consider that a kindness—if I'd struck you with my hand, you’d already be dead.”“You insolent bastard!” Robert sputt

    Looking at her parents, who were mercilessly ridiculing Alex Leonhard, Ophelia D’Arcy let out an exasperated sigh. Her voice, trembling with emotion yet fiercely determined, interrupted the mockery.“Dad, Mom, stop blaming Alex for everything. It was my decision. I just can't bear seeing our family mocked and humiliated any longer.”“Haven’t we endured enough shame all these miserable years?"Her voice softened slightly, eyes distant with a glimmer of uncertain hope."Besides, grandmother won't accept any more excuses this time. Someone has to step up to the challenge. Who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon me.”Ophelia’s mother, incredulous and visibly panicked, blurted out harshly, “Have you lost your mind?”“Even if your grandmother herself crawled on her knees, begging at their gates, they wouldn't even glance her way! You’ll bring nothing home but disgrace!”Her father's eyes hardened as he snapped sharply, “Ophelia this time you made a mistake.”From the sidelines, Ale

    Ophelia nearly leaped from her seat in shock, her eyes bulging wide as she whispered harshly, "Alex, have you gone completely mad? It’s utterly impossible! The Golden Guild would never partner with an insignificant family like ours!"But Alex merely smiled, calm and unnaturally confident, his voice steady as he whispered persuasively, "Relax, Ophelia. You’re always saying I’m nothing more than a jobless fool. So why not let this fool try?”“I'll prepare the proposal. It'll carry your name—who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon us.""Alex—" Ophelia hesitated, uncertainty wavering in her voice."Come now, Ophelia," Alex urged more insistently, eyes blazing with unexpected determination."We have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. At worst, we fail quietly, but at best—we rise triumphantly.”“Besides, look at your grandmother. She’ll erupt into flames if no one steps up."Ophelia felt herself slipping into resignation—after all, they were already at the bottom.What

    “Fine,” Alex exhaled deeply, the weight of guilt hidden beneath his stoic exterior. “Exactly how much is this damned debt?”“Half a million,” Peter replied tersely.“And?” Alex pressed impatiently.“I've settled them all. I refuse to attend university while people whisper that I still owe money.”With a dramatic flourish, Alex swung his bag onto the table, swiftly drawing out half a million dollars in crisp bills and slamming them down.Peter and Yuri stared, mouths agape.“Take this cash and get yourselves to university immediately!”“Where did you get this money?” Yuri gasped, eyes wide with disbelief.“I won it gambling,” Alex smirked devilishly. “Now leave before I gamble it all away again!”Peter snatched the money greedily, gripping it tightly. Yuri paused at the threshold, turning back briefly, whispering softly, “Thank you.”She bolted out into the night.Soon after, Ophelia approached Alex, urgency blazing in her eyes. “Alex, Grandma’s summoned us to the D’Arcy mansion.

    “You're right…” Michael whispered hoarsely, his voice dripping with bitter resignation.He dropped his gaze to the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes as he imagined the volcanic fury that would soon erupt from his father and his grandfather Baron Dunsmore.He had utterly destroyed their family’s empire in one reckless move.He could already see their grand barony plunging into poverty, spiraling down into disgrace, just like Alex Leonhard’s pitiful house."I—I have to get home. Immediately," Michael stammered, dread gripping his heart like an iron fist.In no time at all, scandalous whispers stormed through the streets of Haventon, spreading faster than wildfire—The Golden Guild had brutally expelled the proud Dunsmore family.Rumors flew thick and vicious, speculation rife with venom.Though no one knew exactly what grave sin had provoked the Guild’s wrath, it was clear the Dunsmores had committed an unforgivable transgression.Overnight, their vast fortune shriveled, their lofty st

    Jessica Golden hadn't built her towering reputation in Haventon City by luck alone.Her renown as a shrewd, commanding businesswoman preceded her, enhanced by an enchanting charm that masked the steel beneath her velvet exterior.At an astonishingly young age, Jessica had already ascended to the role of head branch at the Haventon branch of the Golden Guild—a testament to her exceptional prowess.Her influence ran deep—an invisible architect behind the meteoric rise of the Haventon branch, which now stood as a gleaming beacon among the many others branches scattered across the country and viscounties, each overseen by one of Count Golden’s other ambitious sons or daughters.Yet, this city—this prized jewel called Haventon—was unquestionably Jessica’s domain.Jessica's confident composure briefly faltered upon seeing Alex Leonhard.The young man's striking looks, combined with his astounding ability to concoct miraculous pills, left her momentarily breathless.Her trusted managers had

    Inside the Golden Guild.The vastness struck Alex like a cathedral of wealth—marble pillars soared skyward, each one gleaming under a vaulted ceiling etched with ornate carvings.The hall buzzed like a gilded hive, sleek-suited tellers moving behind golden-trimmed counters with surgical precision.A cool blend of polished oak and metallic sharpness filled the air, mingling seamlessly with the rhythmic murmur of transactions and the musical clink of coins exchanged.Alex stepped forward, the soft click of his boots echoing defiantly on the glossy marble floor.His eyes darted through ornate signage until they landed decisively upon a gleaming plaque: "Item Appraisal & Acquisition."Three counters lay before him, each more exclusive than the last.The first brimmed with commoners clutching cheap trinkets, buzzing impatiently with bargains under hundred credits.The second hosted more composed merchants, quietly guarding wares of moderate value.Yet it was the third counter, isolated at
