Albert quickly approached Firman to find out what was happening, why Astrid's guard seemed to be looked down upon by the other guards.

"Hey, what's going on? Why do they seem to dislike us?" Albert asked curiously.

Firman glanced at Albert, but instead, he asked back, "Who are you?"

Firman's question made Albert furrow his brows. "Is your brain so small that you quickly forget other people's faces?"

Firman stared at Albert closely, his eyes wide open. "Oh my God, are you that beggar?"

"Damn, who’s a beggar?!" Albert replied, annoyed.

Firman looked Albert up and down, genuinely confused, as Albert looked very handsome and different after wearing the guard's outfit.

"Is he really that beggar?" Firman wondered in disbelief.

Albert nudged Firman's shoulder and asked again, "Tell me, why do they seem to dislike us?"

Firman sighed softly and then explained, "Miss has no power in the Ramon family; she is only seen as a parasite and may be forcibly eliminated."

"What?!" Albert exclaimed loudly, causing everyone to turn to him, but he quickly closed his mouth and smiled.

"You!" Firman glared at Albert sharply, then he embraced him and whispered, "Just calm down, Miss is not easily oppressed; you won't be dismissed just like that, at least until she truly loses her position."

Albert squinted his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Firman released his embrace and sighed heavily. "You will find out later."

Crash!

They all jumped in shock when they heard a loud bang from inside the room, even Albert had to rub his chest.

"This decision is final. If you cannot secure cooperation with Yanaga Corporation, then all your shares in Ramon Group will be transferred to your uncle!" Mr. Ramon’s voice was heard loudly.

"Grandfather, even a first-tier family would have difficulty securing this cooperation; isn’t this condition the same as directly bringing me down?!" Astrid protested, her voice filled with emotion.

"This is all the family's will; you must secure that cooperation, and I don't care how!" Mr. Ramon emphasized again.

Behind the door, Albert, who already had a hearing sensitivity beyond that of an ordinary person, could hear all the conversations inside and knew that Astrid was being pressured by her own family.

Albert held his chin while crossing his arms in front of his chest, nodding his head in understanding of Firman's earlier words.

"Rudi, meet me at the Yanaga hotel, now!" Albert commanded using telepathy.

At that moment, the VIP room door opened. Astrid emerged with a face full of anger and in a hurry.

Firman and the others quickly followed from behind, while Gerald's guards and other core family members of Ramon laughed at her.

Albert, who was about to leave, glanced at them. "Your positions are lower than my Sister's; how dare you laugh at her," he muttered softly.

He smirked, then took a coin from his pocket and discreetly threw it using his powers, hitting the jaws of those guards, who immediately fell to the floor with crooked mouths, groaning in pain.

"Feel that!" Albert said to himself and hurried to catch up with Astrid.

Meanwhile, in the place where Astrid was, she was crying inside the car. Firman and the others could only wait outside the car, not daring to interfere at all.

As Albert just stepped out of the hotel door, he instantly stopped in his tracks upon hearing Astrid's cries from inside the car.

"Life is indeed hard, but don’t worry, since you have acknowledged me, I will help you," Albert said with a slight smile.

At the same time, he felt Rudi's presence almost arriving there, using his ability to teleport, he was already across the street from the hotel sitting on the sidewalk.

Rudi, seeing his Master, immediately asked the driver to stop the car right in front of Albert, then he got out of the car and sat beside him, taking a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

"Master, you can now wear decent clothes, just look at how handsome you are," Rudi said enthusiastically after lighting the cigarette.

Albert turned and blew cigarette smoke into Rudi's face, who immediately started coughing. "No need for beating around the bush, do you know Astrid Ramon?" Albert asked to make sure.

Rudi nodded slowly. "As far as I know, Miss Astrid is always pressured by her family, but because she is quite smart, she has managed to survive until now. Wait a minute..." He immediately looked at Albert intently, "Master, please don’t tell me you... want to get rid of her too?"

Albert smiled slightly, then his expression changed to annoyance as he pointed at Rudi's head. "You, can’t you think positively just once?!"

Rudi chuckled softly. "Hehehe... Master know, I can't guess what's on your mind."

Albert sighed heavily. "Never mind... tell me, is Yanaga Corporation looking for cooperation in the city of Bibes?" he asked to confirm.

Rudi nodded quickly. "Yanaga Corporation is indeed looking for partners for the development of an elite area in the city of Jantaka with a contract value of 800 million dollars, but since there are no large companies in this city capable of taking the contract alone, it will be divided into three cooperation contracts, covering...."

"Give one of them to Astrid Ramon, let her decide which cooperation contract she wants," Albert interrupted while standing up before Rudi finished speaking.

Rudi immediately stood up scratching his head which wasn’t itchy. "Master, can’t you use your power..." Rudi's eyes widened before continuing, "... please don’t tell me Miss Astrid...."

Albert smiled at Rudi, he pointed to his forehead. "Finally, you’re perceptive, yes, it’s true she...."

"Must have bewitched you, right?!" Rudi quickly cut in, causing Albert to almost stumble.

Albert held back his anger. "Calm down Albert, right now she is the only one you can trust," he murmured softly.

"Master, don’t worry, I will definitely...."

Slap!

The sound of a crisp slap was heard making Rudi stagger and hold his cheek, he then looked at Albert with tearful eyes.

"Master, why did you slap me?" he asked sadly.

"Because you’re foolish! Never mind... just do as I instructed, make sure she gets that cooperation contract as soon as possible!" After giving the order, Albert threw away the cigarette butt and rushed to Astrid's car.

Firman, seeing Albert just arrive, scolded him. "Where have you been!"

"Hehehe... I was in a hurry," Albert replied pretending to be foolish.

"Enough, hurry up and get in, Miss wants to go home now!" Firman ordered firmly, and Albert immediately followed him and got into the car.

Inside the car, Albert glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing Astrid who looked calm, though her eyes were clearly puffy.

The car then drove away from the place heading towards Astrid's residence located in a middle-class villa in the city of Jantaka.

Upon arriving at the villa, Albert hurriedly got out and opened the car door for Astrid politely while smiling.

Astrid got out of the car, as she walked she said, "New kid, you come with me!"

"I...." Albert pointed at himself.

Firman quickly gave a signal to comply, and Albert followed Astrid into the villa. As soon as they entered, the woman suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Albert carefully.

"You’re impressive for knowing Master Rudi," Astrid suddenly said, surprising Albert immensely.

    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
