Astrid tapped the table while staring at the CCTV footage showing Albert rummaging through a trash can. She truly did not understand where that man’s confidence came from, to the point that he dared to brag that only he could help her.

“Forget it, it seems I’m the one overthinking.” Astrid did not want to think about it, because just thinking about the Ramon family’s problems already gave her a headache.

However, even so. Without Astrid realizing it, deep in her heart, she hoped Albert was a

    Astrid tapped the table while staring at the CCTV footage showing Albert rummaging through a trash can. She truly did not understand where that man’s confidence came from, to the point that he dared to brag that only he could help her. “Forget it, it seems I’m the one overthinking.” Astrid did not want to think about it, because just thinking about the Ramon family’s problems already gave her a headache. However, even so. Without Astrid realizing it, deep in her heart, she hoped Albert was a powerful person, so she could lean on him. *** Meanwhile, where Rudi was, he was preparing everything Albert requested; even the best guards from Yanaga Bodyguard had been assembled. “Mr. Rudi, is it true the Grand Master will come to the Vinaro Family Banquet tonight?” asked Biani, Rudi’s personal assistant. “I don’t know either, but since he asked for all of this, he should indeed be coming, because tonight only the Vinaro family is holding a major event,” Rudi replied softly, then let out

    Rini quickly came to her senses. She shook her head, trying to process everything she had seen—making sure it had really happened and wasn’t just a dream. She even rubbed her eyes to confirm it was real. Albert, seeing that, only smiled. In his heart he said, “If it weren’t for this damn System, I’d be known to the world by now! There are tons of jewelry like this in the dimensional storage. To me it’s worthless, but to a woman like her it must be extremely valuable. I’ll make Rini acknowledge me!” “Albert, this…” Rini’s hands trembled as she looked at the jewelry Albert showed her. Albert took Rini’s hand and handed her the jewelry in his hand. “If you want, just take it all. I don’t need it.” Rini immediately refused. “No, no. This is too valuable. You should keep it safe. But…” She studied Albert closely, then asked curiously, “You have so much luxury jewelry—why are you a bodyguard for Miss Astrid? And they say you used to be a beggar. Don’t tell me you…” Albert was very exci

    Albert chose not to speak anymore with the System that always annoyed him. If only there were no punishments and he could act as he pleased, he surely would have become a villain just to have fun with his powers that already exceeded those of ordinary humans. When he arrived at the entrance post of the residential complex, Albert found a security guard sitting relaxed while smoking. Albert sat down beside the guard. "Brother, smoking is dangerous for your health," he said with a smile. The guard turned, frowning as he looked at Albert. "Who are you? I don't think I've ever seen you in this complex before." "Let me introduce myself, brother. My name is Albert, the man who will become the richest person in the world!" he joked confidently, his hand suddenly reaching out. "Can I have one of your cigarettes, brother?" "Tch, your words are as high as the sky, but in the end, you're just a beggar. Here, take it!" the guard said, handing over the cigarette pack. "Hehehe...." Albert lau

    Albert smiled and then approached, sitting beside Astrid without hesitation while crossing his legs.Seeing this, Astrid shot Albert a glare, speaking coldly. "Albert, you can't just act freely in my house!"However, instead of being scared, Albert leaned back on the sofa still eating the apple in his hand without responding to Astrid's words.Astrid clenched her fists tightly, holding back the anger that was beginning to boil within her."Albert, I will count to three, if you…"Astrid's voice caught in her throat as Albert suddenly moved closer to her and held her chin to tilt her head up to look at him.Astrid froze, swallowing hard—feeling a strange vibration she had never felt before as she gazed into the handsome man's face."Miss Astrid, believe it or not, but I'm the only one here who can help you out of this mess," Albert said with a mischievous smile.Astrid quickly came to her senses and pushed Albert's hand away, pointing at him. "You…"Her voice fell silent again as Albert

    Rini frowned as she saw her mistress looking very surprised by the necklace given by Albert. She immediately placed the back of her hand on Astrid's forehead."Not hot, but why is Miss talking nonsense?" Rini asked herself, looking confused.Astrid grabbed Rini's hand and held it tightly. "You... I'm not sick! Quickly tell me where you got that necklace?" she asked curiously."Miss, do you want this necklace? I'm sorry, but I can't give it to you, just ask for something else," Rini said while lowering her head.Astrid sighed softly, she held Rini's shoulders and said, "I won't ask for it, it's just that the necklace is very valuable, you must take good care of it and don't take it out of the house.""Valuable?" Rini laughed softly, shaking her head, "Miss, this is just a toy necklace, how could it be valuable?"Astrid tapped Rini's forehead with her index finger. "I'm serious, that necklace is made of white gold and the pendant is a diamond from The Rock, it's worth 8 million dollars

    Rini's reprimand made Albert immediately turn and embrace Sisil while smiling and whispering to her. "Don't say anything inappropriate, or...."Sisil quickly nodded her head; she was truly scared that if Albert really got angry, it wouldn't just be her who would have problems, but her family too."We're just joking, right Miss Sisil?" Albert forced a smile."Y-Yes, we're just joking, Miss...." Sisil quickly added with a trembling tone.Rini stared at both of them for a moment with a scrutinizing look, and then she sighed in relief and approached them, offering the snacks she brought."I thought Albert was hurting you, it's good if he isn't. Because a man should never hurt a woman," Rini said with a warm smile.Sisil raised her palm and shook her head. "P-Please don't misunderstand, Sir...." Her voice choked as Albert gripped her arm tightly."I-I mean Albert is very good to me," Sisil continued while swallowing nervously.Albert released his embrace of Sisil. "Go on, you said you had
