“Sir, do you have a CentraBank card?” Verna Diaz asked politely.
She was beginning to think that Finn had no experience or idea of CentraBank’s policy. He might be thinking that other bank cards could also be used in the CentraBank. “Nope,” Finn shook his head casually. When the long-haired lady heard Finn’s honest answer, she had to laugh. Then someone from behind called to her. “Gia, let’s go!” “Coming, Dad,” Gia said to the man in his late forties, before speaking to Verna. “Manager Diaz, allowing this kind of poor-looking person…” she looked at Finn in disgust, “enter your bank is unfair to other worthy clients, don't you agree? It could even reduce the rating of this bank. Be careful because you do not want something like this to happen again.” After she finished speaking she held her father’s arm and they walked out. Verna immediately followed them, walking them out, and saying, “I assure you, ma’am, it won't happen again. It will be thoroughly dealt with.” When Verna returned to the hall, she decided to chase Finn out as soon as possible. She looked around but didn't see Finn. “Huh? Where did he go? Did he already leave?” Her voice was low and relieved at the realization of Finn leaving. Just as she was about to go back to work, she saw an odd someone. It was the poor guy and his obvious difference gave him away. She didn't see him at first because he was heading straight toward the door of the VIP room. The pillar in the hall was to blame for blocking her sight. Her eyes widened in panic. “No!” The VIP room was only prepared for customers with a higher status, and deposits of at least thirty million. If people like Finn entered, Verna would lose her job for sure. She shouted at the top of her lungs, “Stop there! You!” The other clients were clearly disturbed. They turned their attention to her with a dissatisfied frown on their faces. Verna could only give them an awkward smile and repeatedly apologized with a bowed head while at the same time making her way toward Finn. Meanwhile, Finn had already opened the door to the VIP room and entered. “Oh God, oh, God,” Verna panicked. “What is that bastard doing? He wants to get me in trouble,” she lamented to herself, but as she tried to open the door, it was locked. Finn locked the door to prevent her from coming in and becoming a pain because it was damn obvious she was gonna be one. Inside the VIP room, the customer manager was lounging on the sofa, playing with his phone when the door opened. He quickly sat up straight, looking alarmed because if a VIP was to arrive, it was protocol for Verna to inform him in advance. “Shit! Why the hell didn't Verna inform me that a VIP was on his way?!” he exclaimed with a low voice as he stood up to welcome the client. Being the customer manager, he knew all 30 VIPs of the bank. When he saw Finn, the manager was sure he had never seen him before. “Uh, what can I do for you, Sir?” the manager asked with a tone of uncertainty. “To withdraw money,” Finn was straight to the point. “Oh. Do you have a Supreme Card with you?” the manager asked, still looking uncertain. And the fact that Finn looked so calm confused him. Still, he felt suspicious of the young man’s identity because judging from his appearance, he clearly lacked wealth. “A Supreme Card, huh?” Finn muttered to himself, completely forgetting about that. As the manager heard that, he quickly said, “Apologies, Sir, without the Supreme Card, there's nothing I can do for you.” It was already damn clear that the young man wasn't a VIP or related to a VIP. The manager didn't want to waste any more time on Finn. ‘How could Verna dare to allow just anybody in the VIP room so easily? I’ll make sure she's punished for this oversight.’ “Don’t you have fingerprint identification here?” Finn asked the manager with a raised eyebrow. “Of course,” the manager answered, stunned. The Fingerprint Identification System introduced by the bank was only used for the wealthiest families and consortiums. Only a handful of people could use the system. “Why are you standing there then?” Finn questioned the manager. “I got school and I hate being late.” “Oh, um, hold on a second, Sir.” The manager was a little hesitant, but he didn't have the guts to refuse. Finn might not look rich, but what if he was invisibly rich? The manager quickly took out the unused fingerprint identification device from the safe. “Put your finger here,” the manager gestured to Finn. Finn put his thumb on the verification area. The equipment lit up with a blinding red light, and the liquid crystal display showed that the fingerprint was not recorded. The manager became vigilant. He took out his phone and was about to call the police.

“Work together?” Finn let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. “I don’t need any help, Jason. As you can see, I’m not doing anything right now.”Jason frowned, his confusion evident. He was silent for a while before saying, “Come on, Finn, don’t be like this. Work with me here. I know you're doing something. Seeing you speaking with Nathan Palace confirmed that you're friends with him. I doubted it at first, but the way you two spoke looked… friendly. You must’ve told him something. What was it?”Finn took another drag from his cigarette, his tone dismissive. “There’s nothing for you to know, Jason. Like I said, it’s none of your business.”“How is it none of my business?!” Jason snapped, a desperate look in his eyes. “It was me who brought Gia’s problem to you guys, so stop being selfish, Finn! If you’re doing something to help her, let’s team up. Is that so difficult to do, huh?! All I'm saying is you don't have to do it on your own. What are you even trying to prove? Do you even li

Finn and Jeffer met at a small coffee shop. As soon as Jeffer spotted Finn, he pulled him into a tight hug. “It’s been ages, you silly bastard! Look at you, all grown up!” When he pulled back, his expression turned to a frown as he took in Finn’s appearance. “But seriously, what’s with this look? Are you testing out how pauper clothes look on you?”Finn scoffed, heading straight to the nearest seat. “I never told any of you, but my father punished me for that whole gambling mess.”Jeffer’s eyes widened in surprise as he took the seat opposite Finn. “Really? I remember being shocked, thinking your dad was letting you off too easy as his only son, especially after you lost that insane amount of money the first time. So, he actually punished you, huh? I told you that you were taking it too far.”Finn shook his head, his tone colder now. “I still hold him responsible for my mother’s death, but I have no intention of getting punished again now that the restrictions are gone.”Jeffer nodde

“Who?” Nathan asked as he sat across from Finn at the Neon Bar, where Finn had arranged to meet and discuss something urgent.“A bastard named Galvin Smith,” Finn replied curtly. “I’m sure you’ve heard of him.”Nathan nodded, leaning back. “Yeah, I know that piece of work. That guy’s bad news—definitely not someone to cross,” he said, glancing briefly at the waiter who poured their beers with visibly trembling hands before bowing and walking away quickly.Nathan blinked, noting how cautious everyone seemed around Finn. It still amazed him that Finn was the real deal—a Lancaster hiding in plain sight.“Finn, can I ask something?” Nathan leaned in, curiosity sparking. “Why do you keep such a low profile? No one would guess you’re a Lancaster dressed like this. And your name—Lachlan—that’s not even your last name, right?”Finn scoffed, a faint smirk forming. “That’s my middle name.”“Oh,” Nathan said, realization dawning. “So, you’ve been using your middle name as your last name to keep

Groans and the sound of punches echoed through the room, accompanied by frightened yells.In a campus playroom where the school’s privileged elites gathered to drink, play poker, and indulge in games like darts and billiards, chaos had broken out. A young man lay on the ground near the wall, battered and bleeding as he endured a relentless barrage of punches.“Stop, Galvin! You’re going to kill him!” one of the guys shouted desperately, but Galvin ignored the plea.He just kept punching, and punching mercilessly.Most of the room’s occupants froze, abandoning their games to watch the brutal scene unfold. Those who had been playing darts and other games flinched with every punch that connected, their faces twisted in discomfort and fear—except for one person, who remained disturbingly unaffected.“Lukas! Lukas! Can’t you get him to stop?!” Another guy begged desperately. Lukas, lounging casually on a sofa, barely spared a glance at the scene. His expression remained bored as he saw G

“The police?!” Melanie exclaimed, her voice rising enough to draw Gia and Colette’s attention.Vincent nodded, already pulling out his phone. “Yes, let’s call them or go to the station. This is exactly what the police are for.”“Are you guys dumb?” Finn asked them with a frown. “The police won’t do anything about this.”“And why wouldn't they, Mr. Know-it-all? Isn’t this the perfect situation for law enforcement to intervene?” Vincent asked him.Gia sniffled quietly and spoke up, her voice hoarse from crying. “Finn’s right. Calling them is pointless.” She slowly sat up, her tear-streaked face pale and her red, puffy eyes revealing her exhaustion.Colette handed her a tissue, and Gia wiped her face as she continued with a trembling voice. “If we involve the police… it’ll only make things even more troublesome.”Colette shot the boys a furious glare. “You guys are just so stupid! I don't even know what you're doing here! How could you possibly think involving the police is a good idea,
