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.

    Nanase's gaze filled with doubt made Albert smile faintly. The man was aware that the first woman who had managed to shake his heart since he saved her life all those years ago, was still unable to accept the fact that he was the same beggar from ten years ago.Albert sighed softly.With a gentle movement, he shifted Nanase's body from his lap so she would return to sitting on the sofa. After that, the man stood up straight while putting one hand into his pants pocket."Your family seems to have almost arrived," Albert said casually. "Do you want to welcome them yourself, or shall I?"Nanase looked up at him with wide eyes. "You... can even sense their aura from that far away?"Albert slowly leaned down until their faces were only a few centimeters apart. His gaze was calm, yet held a mystery that was difficult to guess."There are still many things about me that you don't know," he whispered softly. The man then lightly tapped the tip of Nanase's nose before standing upright again. "

Nanase and her two loyal bodyguards immediately went on alert.Although the two of them were only at the Eighth Peak Realm, the disciplined aura radiating from their bodies still felt oppressive.Galuh stepped forward first, then bowed respectfully. “Sir, we apologize for arriving late. If we had known from the start that someone was attacking Rose Villa again, we would not have stopped just to check on Nik and Rudas, who were injured,” he said in a low but firm tone.Albert remained sitting comfortably on his sofa, as if the earlier commotion was just a minor disturbance not worth worrying about. “Just ants passing by. No need to make a fuss,” he replied lightly. However, his gaze quickly turned serious. “How are Nik and Rudas?”Galuh let out a soft sigh before answering. “Nik suffered a fairly severe rib fracture. It will likely take several mon

    Rini ran hurriedly down the villa corridor, her face filled with anxiety. She was still slightly breathless when she finally found Albert sitting casually on the bedroom balcony.The man was enjoying a cup of hot coffee while calmly smoking a cigarette, as if the world were not in trouble.“Sir… Nik and Rudas are said to be seriously injured!” Rini said anxiously.Albert didn’t even look surprised. With a calm expression, he replied flatly, “I already know. The people who hurt them are already at the gate.”Rini immediately frowned. “If you already knew, why didn’t you do anything?” she asked gently but with concern. “After all, they are your subordinates.”Albert exhaled a stream of smoke slowly before putting out the cigarette in the ashtray. After that, he gently pulled Rini closer until she was sitting on his lap. “If I had to step in and solve every problem myself... then when would they grow?”“But, Sir...” Rini’s voice wea
