Romeo watched Orbit Tower with a complicated gaze. This was an old building built by the Walsh family 17 years ago because of his mother's wish. It had been quite a while since he had visited Orbit Tower, and it was not what he remembered last time. 

Orbit Tower was at the top of this building, while at the bottom of Orbit Tower was a high-end luxury hotel with 7 stars. Only people with unlimited wealth could stay in this place. The cheapest room could even buy a car. 

Behind Romeo, Andrew stared at the young man's back. He allowed his young master to reminisce briefly before entering the Orbit Tower. 

Romeo closed his eyes momentarily, a stream of memories replaying in his head. Then he opened his eyes and exhaled softly. He turned his head slightly to Andrew. "Let's go in," he said. 

Andrew nodded. "Come, Young Master." 

The two entered the building. Romeo's dull appearance made the few people who passed by them look at Romeo with strange looks. Moreover, Andrew dressed better and walked behind him like a servant. 

Andrew passed the receptionist and immediately took Romeo to the waiting room. Romeo noticed every detail of this place.

"Young Master, as I said, this place is neglected," Andrew said fearfully. He was worried that this change would anger Romeo

"Andrew, why is this place so different? I expected the changes, but didn't expect the place to change in such a way," Romeo said when this place was completely different from the Orbit Tower, he remembered. 

Andrew invited Romeo to sit down, but Romeo did not refuse and sat on the sofa. "It hasn't been the Walsh family taking care of this building, so I apologise if this is no longer to your taste." 

"Fix everything, I don't like this place now," Romeo ordered coldly. 

Andrew nodded and got up. He knew his master's temper was rising, so he hurriedly excused himself. "Yes, young master. I'll take care of it right now." 

The bodyguard figure left, leaving Romeo alone in the waiting room. 

Meanwhile, as soon as Andrew left, Romeo clenched his fists. A wave of anger exploded in his chest. He was furious when he discovered his father allowed others to touch Orbit Tower. This place was built based on his mother's wishes, and he didn't expect his father to allow others to touch his mother's things. 

He wanted to vent his anger by destroying this place but decided against it. Romeo's anger subsided a little when he remembered that Andrew was taking care of this matter and would return soon. 

The sound of clapping echoed throughout the room. A voice with a condescending tone called Romeo's name. "Oh, trash, Romeo. I didn't expect to see you in this place." 

Romeo was so familiar with this voice. The young man who had just called him was Morgan, who really liked to bully him. He gave him a quick glance and went back to ignoring him. He picked up the men's magazine on the glass table and read it. 

Morgan is the son of one of the wealthy families in this city. Since childhood, he has used a silver spoon to eat, which was genuinely followed by luck. This made him grow up to be a very haughty figure and disrespectful to people who were poorer than him.

A few years ago, Morgan deliberately pushed Romeo into the pool at a pool party. Everyone laughed at him, and no one helped Romeo. From then on, people made fun of him for that incident. 

 When Romeo ignores him, he is furious. 

"You bastard! You dare ignore me?" Morgan said. He strolled up to Romeo.  A sardonic smile spread across Morgan's face. Seeing how shabby the clothes on Romeo's body were, he had a contemptuous expression. His anger at being ignored instantly subsided. "Are you that brave or shameless? Wearing shabby clothes like this into my hotel." 

Romeo raised his face. He threw the magazine he was holding onto the table. His gaze flicked to Morgan's face, and he looked down, noticing his messy clothes. Morgan's words were valid. He seemed very dirty. 

He hadn't had a chance to shower yet, and the beating Tyler and his friends had given him made his look so messed up. He looked back at Morgan and smiled wryly. His appearance could not be used as an excuse to bother him. "Is there a rule that you must be presentable to enter the hotel?" 

Morgan put one hand in his pants pocket. This pose made him look haughty and powerful, but Romeo was unaffected. "Poor and shameless, that sentence fits your name perfectly," Morgan said, insulted. "This is a seven-star hotel. Only classy people are in this place." 

Romeo grinned. "Repeat your last sentence again." 

"Are you deaf?" Morgan was insulting, but he actually repeated his sentence. "Only classy people are in this place." 

"You're the one who said if only classy people are in this place, look, I'm also there. I also belong to it." Romeo smiled victoriously. 

"You? Classy people?" Morgan snorted in annoyance. "Only in dreams! You're what I consider an anomaly." 

Romeo turned his face away and smiled contemptuously. "You unstable bastard!" 

"You!" snapped Morgan. 

Romeo leaned on the sofa, ignoring Morgan, who was staring at him with a sharp gaze. 

"How insolent! Didn't your parents teach you any manners?" screeched Morgan. He really felt humiliated to be ignored by a poor man like Romeo.

Romeo's expression hardened when Morgan insulted his parents. Morgan realised it and smiled sarcastically. "Do your parents know if their son is sneaking around in a seven-star hotel?"

"Who said I was sneaking around?" Romeo said. "I've been to this place many times." 

 "Then you should apply for a job here. I'll make sure you get a suitable position." Morgan grinned. "That is... as a toilet cleaner." 

"Wow... you're asking me to be a toilet cleaner?" Romeo chuckled. "Looks like you don't know me very well yet." 

"Of course I do. I understand the character of a poor person like you very well," Morgan said. "You definitely came to this place just to be stylish, right? Let's be honest." 

Romeo pressed his nose and waved his hand in front of his face. "Shut your mouth. Your words stink like carrion!" 

"Unlucky bum!" scolded Morgan. 

"Scram before you regret it." Romeo stared dumbly at Morgan. "I'm waiting for someone. Don't piss me off, or you'll be very sorry." 

"What authority do you have over me? I am the heir to this hotel. You have no right to say anything here!" Morgan shouted, his voice echoing. 

Morgan advanced and attacked Romeo. Romeo got up and caught Morgan's fist with ease. 

"Argh!"

    Since his conversation with his father, Romeo decided to stay at the Walsh family home. Their relationship had become better than before, although Romeo still felt uneasy about the truth he had learned.And now he was with a woman named Gina, who was drinking tea in front of him. This meeting happened because Romeo had something he wanted to give to Gina.“Is everything alright, Master?” Gina kept watching Romeo; she felt that this man seemed a little different compared to the last time they met.“Yes.”But Romeo then fell silent for quite a while after answering briefly, causing Gina to continue observing him.“Master Romeo, I want to talk about something.” Gina looked at him slowly and cautiously. What she wanted to say might anger the man in front of her.Romeo handed her a document, making Gina glance at it quickly. “You need to work on this.”Gina took it and covered her mouth; it seemed that whatever she wanted to discuss with this man could not be brought up now because this wa

    In this calm room, warm tea sat before the two of them. The old man across from him kept observing Romeo, who hadn’t spoken.Then, two minutes later, Romeo finally spoke. “Father already knows something like this has happened, and they want to wipe out the Walsh family?”“There will always be those who want to eliminate the Walsh family,” Mason said calmly. He studied Romeo’s face. “You know our family is also known as the guardians of the world.”He had only heard that story when he was a child, because it sounded connected to wealth. A rich man could easily boast about exaggerated things like that. He had never taken it seriously; everything he had learned until now was because he had to survive, and because the taller the tree, the stronger the wind.“They say we are guardians, which means we possess power, and of course there are those who dislike that. That is why no one has ever truly known the Walsh family’s home.”Romeo immediately remembered it. Their house had never been a f

    Romeo stood in front of Angus, who was observing him calmly and clearly, yet he remained composed—a demeanor that made Angus smile.He was more sensitive than Risca. Even the slightest display of ability from the man in front of him felt familiar. Decades had passed, but that didn’t mean he had forgotten.This situation brought back old memories, making him smile as he recalled the things that had always excited him.“It seems you’ve finished observing me,” Romeo said, making Angus look at him more intently.Then he walked closer to the man and nodded once. “Correct.”Even though this man didn’t show anything dangerous, Romeo remained cautious about what he might be capable of. However, as they came so close, Angus gave a respectful bow.“I’ve known since the first time we met. But I wasn’t entirely sure, so I needed to observe for a while.” Angus explained politely, not wanting any misunderstandings here.“Welcome, Young Master Walsh.”With that statement, Romeo fully realized that t

    Risca looked at Romeo. She still couldn’t say anything out loud because of this.Then, as Romeo placed the last gallon into the truck, he made eye contact with the woman, who clearly seemed like she wanted him to experience something bad, before she left.“I’ve finished my work,” Romeo said calmly, folding his hands in front of his chest.The woman, who had previously been unable to speak, finally coughed and slowly found her voice. “This is impossible. You must have cheated.”Even Risca, who was used to hard work and the training she had undergone, could never have finished that task so quickly. She judged everything by her own standards, then looked at Romeo.The man clearly didn’t have large muscles, and she still couldn’t believe there was someone stronger than herself. Because she kept training and practicing, in this small place, she was a strong woman, even if not many people knew it.“If there’s cheating, you should be accusing yourself, Miss,” Romeo said in a sarcastic tone.

    Romeo ignored her, but the woman moved quickly, walking beside him the entire time with eyes full of scrutiny.“I know you were watching me earlier,” Risca said, leaning her head slightly forward so she could better observe Romeo’s expression.But the man who had met her gaze earlier didn’t respond.“Don’t ignore me. I can tell you’re not just some ordinary guy, right?” she said, and her words made Romeo pause for a moment.But then he resumed walking as if he hadn’t heard her, placing the bag he was carrying onto the metal detector before continuing forward, with Risca still following him.“I’ve never seen you here before. Who are you looking for?”Risca raised a hand above her head; the sunlight was so bright it made her squint as the glare hit her eyes.Romeo looked at her. The woman seemed to let her guard down now, and finally, they met eyes again, this time with a wide smile on her face.“So, just tell me,are you interested in me?”The woman spoke with confidence. She wasn’t wea

    It didn’t take long for Dalton to lose consciousness, he simply couldn’t handle someone this powerful. This was a nightmare he had never imagined, and it marked his defeat.His once-arrogant face was now replaced with one that looked utterly weak.“Pathetic,” Romeo commented, his tone filled with disdain. He had thought this man might be a worthy opponent because of his status, but he wasn’t strong at all.Romeo dragged him along as he went to greet another guest who had just arrived. From where he stood, he could see a ship approaching, with Andrew standing at its bow. The man quickly bowed before Romeo.“Master,” Andrew said, his expression puzzled as he noticed the man Romeo was dragging.Romeo tossed the unconscious man toward Andrew. “I’ll interrogate him.”Upon hearing Romeo’s words, Andrew immediately understood his master’s intent. He nodded and ordered the others to take the man away.Andrew then walked beside Romeo, quietly observing his young master.“I didn’t realize Fath
