2026-03-26 01:01:41The next day, when Biani woke up, Albert was no longer there. The woman felt a little disappointed, but that disappointment instantly vanished when she saw a diamond necklace and a small piece of paper on top of the drawer.
Biani then read what was written on the paper;"Sorry, I have to leave without saying goodbye first. Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I couldn’t bear to wake you. I’ve also told Rudi that today you don’t need to work. Get plenty of rest, and this is a smal

The gaze of the poor, which began to radiate hope, made Albert feel guilty, because he had almost refused the mission from the System.“Life really is very hard, especially for those who have nothing to rely on,” Albert murmured softly.Everyone indeed has their own problems in life; if someone says the poor are poor because they do not want to work hard, that is actually a mistake.Most poor people have already worked very hard. However, their income is not proportional to their expenses.Among the poor, some work to save, some only to eat, and some to pay off debts. They have worked hard, but sometimes the demands of life are greater than their abilities.Maybe some of them succeed, but that is only a few. This happens because not all poor people have the ability to spot opportunities. Coupled with government regulations that sometimes burden them even more.Albert understood very well how they lived with great difficulty. Compared to the rich, who already had something to rely on,

Roy was truly shocked; he groaned in pain as his body slammed hard onto the asphalt. He stared at Albert in fear, even dragging himself as he tried to get away from the man.Albert walked closer, his expression not changing at all; only his gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce and kill at any moment."W-who are you really? Why did you suddenly attack me?" Roy asked, his voice trembling with fear.Albert answered calmly. "You’re the one causing trouble, and yet you don’t know me?"Roy frowned; he didn’t understand what Albert meant, because this was the first time he had met the man.In the blink of an eye, Albert was suddenly right in front of Roy, grabbing the young man’s collar and forcing him to stand to face him."S-sir, it seems there’s a misunderstanding between us," Roy said, trying to negotiate, but his hand reached into his pocket and pressed the emergency button, contacting his subordinate leader.[Sir, he is

After delivering the report, the informant immediately took his leave, because there were no other reports.Albert then walked out of the villa, because he really did not want to hide his identity, and without hesitation brought out a pitch-black Bugatti La Voiture Noire.The bodyguards who saw the car were amazed inwardly, because Albert had never taken that car out at all until now.When Albert’s car left the villa grounds, the guards’ cars followed from a distance, because this was Rudi’s order, so as not to make Albert stand out too much.Albert’s car sped along at a moderate pace, as if with no clear destination, until it finally crossed the boundary of Culan District. The streets here were different from what he usually saw—slum buildings and thick dust blanketed the air. By the roadside, several fierce-looking men carried firearms as they walked, staring coldly at anyone who passed by. Ordinary residents who walked past

The next day, Astrid had just woken up, still naked with only a blanket covering her body. Her eyes immediately turned to the side, hoping to find Albert still there after the long night they had spent together. However, the bed beside her was empty—Albert was already gone.Astrid’s chest suddenly pounded hard, not only because of the sudden silence that blanketed the room, but also because the sharp memory of what happened last night began to creep into her mind.Astrid’s face flushed, heat spreading from her cheeks down to her neck. Not because she had lost her virginity as she thought would frighten her, but because of her own attitude—so aggressive, filled with a desire she had never imagined before.Her hands trembled as she gently rubbed her chest, as if calming a wave of emotions mixed between shame and an undefined curiosity.In silence, she held her breath, imagining Albert’s gaze at the time—was the man shocked, or did he actually enjoy the sudden boldness that emerged from
Chapter 48
Seeing Astrid about to get up, Albert closed his novel and hurried over to the woman, helping her sit up and lean against the bed.“How is it—do you feel better now?” Albert asked gently.Astrid nodded slowly. “Who were you talking to earlier?” she asked again.Albert gave a small smile. “Rudi called me earlier. Don’t talk about that—better you rest some more.”Astrid slowly shook her head. Then she leaned on Albert’s shoulder and spoke softly. “Why are you willing to help me like this? With your status, I’m nobody in your eyes. We don’t even have any relationship.”Hearing that, Albert let out a quiet sigh before saying, “What are you talking about? From the beginning you trusted me, and that’s when I knew you were a woman worthy of being by my side. From now on, anyone who dares to hurt you is the same as challenging me.”Astrid looked up at Albert, her eyes brimming, and asked, “Will you never leave me?”“Of course no
Chapter 47
Albert’s eyes immediately sharpened the moment the name Sandro Silva was spoken by his informant. His face, usually calm, suddenly hardened; his lips pressed tightly together as if holding back the anger burning in his chest.Sandro Silva—the man who had long been the greatest looming threat to Yanaga Corporation—had finally made a move through the dirty hands of his subordinates.Albert let out a long breath, his hands clenched at his sides. “So, he no longer wants to stay hidden,” he murmured softly, his voice heavy with certainty.In that instant, every memory of the fierce rivalry between Yanaga Corporation and Silva Corporation—something Albert had tried to set aside—became fuel for his anger.Sandro had always been on the move, stalking, looking for a gap to destroy Yanaga Corporation, but because he did not know of Albert’s existence, his attacks could always be thwarted.Now, an attack aimed directly at Albert was no longer just a
