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.

    Albert and Aurora went to the shopping center in Permata City. Along the way, Aurora, who was usually quiet, now seemed very active and kept chatting with Albert nonstop.This made Albert suspect that Aurora had a split personality. Nik and Wiliam had the same thought, because yesterday the woman had been mostly silent and only spoke when necessary.Albert kept watching Aurora, which made the woman instinctively hold her cheek and ask, "Why do you keep staring at me? Is something wrong with my face?"Albert slowly shook his head. "There’s nothing wrong with your face. I’m just curious whether you’re really Miss Aurora?"Hearing Albert’s question made Aurora puff up her cheeks in annoyance. "Why? Do you dislike women who like to talk like me?"Albert chuckled softly, then wrapped an arm around Aurora’s waist and pulled her closer. "I was just a little surprised by this change in you, and I actually like how spirited you are now."

    Old Man Ergas let out a long sigh and then sat down in his chair. He stared into the distance, thinking about the future of the Ergas family.“After more than a hundred years of the Ergas family ruling the western region, this is the first time we have taken such a heavy blow. I’m sure this news has already spread throughout Anarka, and those who have been hoping for the fall of the Ergas family must be waiting for the chance to destroy us,” Old Man Ergas said helplessly.Aron crouched beside his grandfather’s chair and massaged his arm before speaking. “Grandfather made the right decision. Uncle Renaldo isn’t stupid; he’s just emotional right now. Once he finds out his opponent isn’t an ordinary person, he’ll definitely back down too.”Old Man Ergas looked at Aron and smiled. “You really are good at reading the situation.”Rayyan quickly spoke up as well. “Father, don’t worry. I’ve already sent several people to guard Brother Renaldo, and I’ve al

    Albert was still sitting there in silence, confused by the sudden, drastic increase in Aurora’s admiration. He wondered why that could happen, even though when he took her out for a walk, she looked very happy, but her admiration value did not increase at all.“Damn system, are you malfunctioning?” Albert asked directly.[Why? Don’t you want to accept that admiration value? If that’s the case, I’ll just delete it and restore it to how it was before.]“Damn it, you really like picking fights with me. I’m just asking, I’m asking again!” Albert scolded, getting annoyed again.“Sir, have you ever heard the proverb that says there is a cause and there is an effect?”Albert frowned. “What do you mean?”“Your action of wanting to protect the orphanage deeply touched Miss Aurora. It can be said that she has begun to trust you, especially after confirming that the Black Card and the jewelry you gave her are indeed genuine.”Alber

    After a brief silence, whispers spread among the Ernix family. They were confused about what had actually happened and who Madam Agung’s husband really was, to dare kill the next candidate to lead the Ergas family.The curious Rahardian immediately asked, “Madam Agung, you’re not joking, are you?”Rini frowned before answering. “Why would I joke? It’s only the Ergas family. What is there to fear if my husband has already taken action?”One of the elders stepped forward and spoke. “Madam Agung, this is a very serious matter. Don’t confuse us.”Rahardian quickly added, “The elder is right. No matter what, the Ergas family’s power is deeply rooted in the western region. We cannot underestimate them.”All the Ernix family members present agreed with Rahardian’s statement and the elder’s words. However, Yudistira and Galuh suddenly chuckled softly, causing them all to glare at the father and son.Noticing this, Yudistira immediately stepped on Galuh’s foot, causing his son to instantly fal

    Aurora’s feelings were a mix of annoyance and confusion. Annoyed, because it turned out the man who had seemed so sweet these past two days already had a girlfriend, and confused about how to deal with the feelings that had already made her fall for him.Albert took out the Black Card he had prepared along with a diamond necklace and placed them on the snack stall table.“Inside this card is unlimited money that you can spend however you like, and that necklace is made of diamonds, worth tens of millions of dollars. Are you sure you still don’t want to become my woman?” Albert asked as he crossed his legs and exhaled cigarette smoke.He grinned and thought to himself, “All women love luxury. I’m sure you won’t be able to refuse all of this, right?”Albert was not a naive man who would desperately pursue a woman. In fact, having Biani, Astrid, and Rini alone was already enough for him. If Aurora had not been chosen by the system, even if she were b

    Albert and Aurora arrived at Gem Tower after dark, and the place looked quite lively. That was because it was indeed a favorite spot for couples on dates.Gem Tower occupied a fairly large area. Around the tower, there was a well-maintained park, and there were even snack stalls provided for both local and out-of-town tourists so they would feel more comfortable staying there.Not only that, but at the top of Gem Tower there were ordinary telescopes as well as star telescopes for enjoying the beauty of the sky and the city of Gem from there.Albert and Aurora had already reached the top of Gem Tower. Aurora, who was there for the first time, looked excited as she approached the star telescope."Albert, come here! I found a really beautiful star," Aurora called out enthusiastically.Albert, who had come there to make Aurora happy, walked over. He looked up at the sky and said, "SIRIUS (the Dog Star) is indeed very beautiful when viewed on
