Albert was standing in front of the most luxurious hotel in the city of Bibes. He stared at the hotel while letting out a soft sigh.

"Having a hotel as magnificent and luxurious as this, but I can't enter because I don't have a woman. What's the point of being rich if I can't enjoy it," Albert grumbled, truly longing for the life of a billionaire.

Suddenly, many cars stopped right behind Albert, and people dressed in all black got out of the cars. They rushed towards Albert to drag him away from there.

"Get out of here, you beggar!" shouted one of them while grabbing Albert's arm and pulling him.

"Hey... what do you want?!" Albert was a bit taken aback, as he was suddenly dragged by those people.

However, Albert did not like being treated roughly like that; his expression immediately turned serious, and he clenched the hand of the man who was dragging him and threw him down.

Bugh! Bugh!

The two men dragging Albert fell to the ground, curled up and moaning in pain while holding their backs.

The other men in black, seeing their two companions taken down by the beggar, were not pleased and immediately attacked Albert together.

However, Albert was able to take them down one by one easily, just by avoiding their attacks, causing the people to attack each other.

From inside a car, a beautiful, elegant woman took off her sunglasses and watched how Albert took down her men one by one.

"Miss, let me take care of this beggar!" said the woman’s private driver, who was also a bodyguard with excellent martial arts skills.

"No need, aren't we short on people? His fighting skills are quite decent, I'm sure he can help you protect me," the woman said with a meaningful smile.

The driver nodded slowly. "I understand." He then got out and opened the car door.

The beautiful woman stepped out of the car gracefully, seeing that her bodyguards, numbering in the dozens, were already lying on the ground, while Albert still stood without a scratch.

Albert looked at those people with disdain. "Hmph, people like you need to be taught a lesson!"

"Your skills are impressive, become my subordinate," scolded the woman who had just stepped out of the car.

Hearing this, Albert sighed softly, then slowly turned. "Who do you think you are to dare...." His voice caught in his throat upon seeing the beautiful face of the person who scolded him.

The woman was so elegant in a bright red dress that accentuated her proportional curves. Her hair was neatly styled, her lips painted with lipstick matching her dress, adding a bold and determined impression. Not only that, the slit in her dress revealed her long legs, making Albert gulp.

"Is she an angel descended from heaven?" Albert murmured softly, smiling like a fool.

Seeing Albert's gaze as if undressing her, the woman's personal bodyguard reprimanded him sternly. "You filthy beggar, watch your eyes, or I'll gouge them out and feed them to the dogs!"

Albert immediately snapped back to reality, wiping the drool that was about to drip and glaring sharply at the woman's bodyguard. "What did you just say?!"

The bodyguard swallowed hard, feeling the terrifying aura radiating from Albert's imposing presence.

For someone like him, who had martial arts skills, it was clear to sense that a man like this beggar was very dangerous, so he instinctively lowered his head, no longer daring to look at Albert.

"Enough, I don't want to waste time. Become my subordinate, your salary will be one hundred thousand per month. If your work is good, you will receive a bonus," the woman said directly.

Albert looked back at the woman, furrowing his brows. "Hundreds of thousands? You... wait a minute, isn't this a great opportunity? Who knows, this woman might be the one I'm looking for, indeed," he murmured while smiling.

Albert initially wanted to refuse but changed his mind because he remembered the System's rule that he could only spend his money after he had a woman who acknowledged him.

He rushed over to the woman and knelt before her, taking her hand while looking up and smiling.

"Miss, I will obey all your commands," Albert said with a wink.

The woman immediately pulled her hand away from Albert's grasp. "Alright, I accept you. Firman, give him suitable clothing!"

"Yes, Miss!" replied the woman's personal guard, who immediately instructed Albert to stand and follow one of his subordinates to change clothes.

After Albert left, Firman quickly asked, "Miss, are you sure about accepting him just like that?"

"Investigate his identity thoroughly; if he is Uncle Gerald's henchman, kill him without a trace," the woman said cynically.

"Understood, Miss!" Firman replied swiftly.

The woman was Astrid Ramon, the only daughter of the late Mr. Ramon. Five years ago, Astrid's parents died in an accident. Since her parents were gone, she was supposed to inherit her grandfather's wealth.

However, Gerald Ramon, the eldest son of Mr. Ramon, along with his family, always made things difficult for Astrid, preventing her from having enough influence in her grandfather's company.

She went to the Yanaga Hotel for a family gathering held once a year; the event would be attended by all immediate family members. In addition to reconnecting, they would also discuss the performance of immediate family members, deciding who deserved a promotion and who would be scolded for not contributing to the family.

The Yanaga Hotel is the largest hotel in Jantaka city, accessible only to wealthy individuals, and reservations must be made well in advance to secure a VIP room.

The Ramon family is a second-tier family, so they can also book a VIP room there.

Astrid entered the VIP room reserved by her family, where everyone had already gathered. As soon as she entered, all eyes turned to her with disdain.

"Well, look who just arrived? Impressive, daring to keep Grandpa waiting," said Handi Ramon, Gerald's eldest son.

Revalina Ramon, Gerald's second child, chimed in sarcastically. "Astrid, have you lost all manners? Ah, I forgot, no one is left to teach you about etiquette."

Gerald smiled cynically but then pretended to be kind. "Don't cause any trouble. Astrid, sit down quickly; your grandfather has been waiting."

Astrid could only clench her fists and glare at them. She then sat in the chair at the end that was provided for her.

Mr. Ramon looked at Astrid sharply before speaking. "Prepare the dishes!"

The waiters quickly prepared the meals, and at that moment, Albert, who had finished changing, was brought to the front of the VIP room where the Ramon guards, including Firman, were gathered.

Albert's expression looked very pleased. "Finally, I can wear decent clothes. Miss Astrid, I promise to repay your kindness," he muttered to himself.

Previously, Albert could not wear nice clothes, but after being made Astrid's subordinate, he could immediately wear guard attire. He quickly understood that Astrid was the woman who acknowledged him.

"Tch, these useless guards will surely be fired soon after that abandoned child is thrown out," said a guard near the right side of the door.

"They're just foolish, still loyal to that abandoned child," another guard chimed in.

Albert, hearing this, furrowed his brows, feeling that something was off with the guards there.

    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
