“Wait!” Finn quickly stopped him. “I think I used the wrong finger. Let me try my index, I remember now.”
“Are you trying to play a trick on me?” The Manager asked cautiously. “It won't end well for you.” Finn nodded in understanding. “Yeah, and I’ll advise you not to threaten me. It won't end well for you either.” The manager blinked, noticing the confident expression on Finn. The young man looked completely unfazed. The manager exhaled deeply, thinking to himself, “If his index finger also fails, is he going to try his middle finger then? What is he going to do if none of his fingers works?” Whatever! If Finn didn't pass the verification this time, he would call the police and get him arrested. Just when the manager was lost in his thoughts, Finn already pressed his index finger into the verification area. The equipment emitted a faint hum as a green light illuminated its surface. On the LCD screen, text scrolled into view: Verification Successful Family Account ID: 05 Identifier: Finnick Lachlan L… Account Number: 051543 The manager was stunned for a moment Blinking to regain his composure, he looked at Finn in disbelief and respectfully bowed to him. “Forgive me for my rudeness earlier, Mr. Lachlan. Nice to meet you, Sir. I haven't introduced myself. I am Callum Fitzroy, the Citadel City Branch’s customer manager.” Finn nodded dismissively. “So how much do I have in my account? I need to know.” “I’ll check that as soon as possible, Sir.” After saying that, Callum sat in front of the computer and began to operate on it. After a few seconds, “Done, Mr. Lachlan.” He pressed a button on the screen, and the chart of Finn’s account appeared. “Mr. Lachlan, your personal account currently has two hundred and fifty… billion dollars.” As Callum read the number, he couldn't help but swallow hard in astonishment, his eyes wide open in shock. He was beyond amazed. Finnick was only 20 years old, yet he already had this much money and assets. Ordinary people can’t earn that much in a lifetime. Finn stared at the numbers on the screen, and honestly, he was amazed. He had been so poor for three years that his situation was feeling too good to be true. The manager cleared his throat, trying to gain his composure. “Uh, Sir, you also have other assets. Let me update you on their status.” Twenty surveillance videos appeared on the screen. “These are the surveillance images of your real assets in other places,” Callum explained to Finn and clicked one of the images which was a high-end Rolls-Royce Phantom. Callum clicked the images for Finn one by one. “Uh… wow, starting with The Azure Star, your rare blue sapphire, it’s currently secured in our high-security vault of Citadel City. It underwent its scheduled inspection last week, and its value remains impeccable. The Crimson Flame, the Burmese ruby is housed in our Arlathian Reserve, where it continues to be monitored by our specialized gem experts. Meanwhile, The Emerald Horizon has been transported to the Elysian Depository in Solhaven as per requested. Your vehicles are all accounted for. The Phantom Eclipse, your Rolls-Royce, is currently stored in the Eclipse Tower Garage here in Ironspire. The Velvet Thunder, the Aventador, remains in its climate-controlled suite at the Lythorne Showroom. And, of course, the Golden Viper, your Aston Martin, is locked down in our private storage facilities at Crestfall. As for your properties, there's Oceancrest Manor, the coastal estate here in Citadel City. A penthouse in Skylume City. A mountain lodge in the Ashgard Peaks, Solhaven Estate, and your beachfront villa in Lumecrest. There's also fine art collections which are meticulously managed, a Yacht, The Midnight Tide stationed in Citadel City Marina, and then, there's your private jet, Celestial Wing, which remains on standby in the Citadel Aerodome.” The manager blinked in fear and glanced at Finn who stared at the screen. The young man was certainly no joke. Finn bobbed his head, realizing his father was really prepared for his comeback. He had mansions, a private jet, a yacht, and even cars he never had before. It was also nice to know that his precious gems were taken care of. He inherited most of them from his late mother. “Well, I need a bank card now,” he told Callum. Callum immediately nodded. “Yes, Sir. I’ll work on it as soon as possible!” Callum personally went to make a card for Finn. In just ten minutes, he came back with a Supreme Card. He held the card to Finn with both hands like it was a fragile object. “Mr. Lachlan, this is your card.” Finn took the card, staring at it back and front, and wasted no time in making his way out. “Mr. Lachlan, please wait!” Callum yelled. He didn't dare neglect a big client like Finn. He must personally walk Finn out. But he had to turn off the property system of his computer, and he hadn’t even put the fingerprint verification device back into the safe. By the time he did all that, Finn already opened the door and left. In the main hall, Verna was pacing around, waiting anxiously. “Why isn't he out yet? Is the customer manager stupid not to notice who must have entered the room?” The longer Finn stayed inside, the more scared she was. Her eyes widened in alarm as she saw him casually walk out of the VIP room. It aggravated her. “Hey, stop right there, you damn bastard! You trespassed into the VIP room without permission. Once we confirm there are no losses, I will let the guards deal with you!” She rushed up to him and grabbed his hand like he was a criminal. “Hey!” Finn immediately snatched his hand away causing Verna to stagger, almost falling. “What the hell is your problem?” Angry, Verna rushed to start searching him. She searched his pockets and brought out the Supreme Card. “Hah! What is this?” She questioned him with an accusatory tone and a stern gaze.

“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,
