When Arthur pulled up to the event, the place was filled with crowds, one that could easily drown a person. A faint frown rested on his brows. He didn't think the place would be this full. Nevertheless, his car quickly attracted the attention of the crowd. “Oh my gosh, who is that?”“I bet it's another celebrity.”“Who is it? This car is so expensive.”…The crowd craned their necks eagarly wondering who it was. To them it had to be another celebrity. They all pulled out their phones.The crowd's shift in focus, rattled the bouncers, tempting them to move forward to control the crowd.They hesitated slightly. Most celebrity had already come, so who was this?The manager had not informed them of anyone coming.DING!> HOST HAS ATTRACTED CROWD. HOST IS REQUIRED TO SHOW OFF CHARM.+5 POINTS REWARD.The system suddenly went off in Arthur's head causing him to smirk. Lately Arthur had noticed the system's pattern, and he was threading by it. Since it was showing his charm, felt no ha

“It's about to start!”“Bea has to win!”“Go Bea~ Go!”…The energy for the night was strong. This was the first award show the platform was hosting, and against two major streamers, the place was buzzing with activity.Although it was known who the winner was, the event had to be dragged on for hours into the night, further heightening Wanda's anger. “When is that bastard coming?” Wanda hissed, gripping the cup in her hand like a vice.Beside her, her brother Gary was equally mad as well. They had planned to sabotage tonight's show, but the man they had paid hadn't arrived yet, and worse it was nearing the real award show. “Calm down sis, I am sure he will be here soon.” Gary tried calming her, but he couldn't help looking at his phone too. “Well he better be.” Wanda spat, looking in Beatrice's direction, her eyes gleaming in hate. “I can't sit and have my money wasted. We've already lost so much.” Their debts were now piled to the brim, and their creditors were already calling.

Arthur stared at Beatrice’s message, his brows narrowing almost imperceptibly. The tone was unfamiliar, slightly provocative, a stark departure from the casual texts they usually exchanged. He didn’t respond. For a moment, he let the phone sit in his hand, analyzing the words, the implications. He slipped the device into his pocket, deliberately severing the conversation before it could influence his next move. Focus was necessary, restraint mandatory. Anything else could compromise the order he’d built. Mason’s words echoed in his mind as he descended the stairs. Check the land first. The system’s instructions were clear, priority overriding everything else. The award show was secondary; it could wait. Arthur mentally scheduled the inspection, calculating the time it would take and how he could still honor his promise to attend later. Hamas and Cherry would remain inside, under supervision, while he addressed the more pressing matter. Hamas walked beside Cherry down the mansion

Arthur had just taken a step forward when the voice rang out behind him.“Master!”Hamas’ voice was sharp, trembling, filled with something raw and burning.Arthur stopped.He turned slowly and locked eyes with the boy.Hamas stood straight, fists clenched at his sides, chest rising and falling rapidly. His gaze was no longer that of a street kid brimming with anger and desperation. It was focused. Determined. Almost reverent.“Sir,” Hamas said, then suddenly bent at the waist, bowing deeply. “I want to be like you. Teach me to be like you.”Cherry froze.Her small hands tightened around the hem of her dress as she stared at her brother, confused by his sudden action. She had never seen Hamas bow to anyone. Never seen him lower his head like this.Only now did Hamas truly see.From the estate, to the mansion.The guards who moved without noise.The calm authority that clung to Arthur without effort.Arthur wasn’t simple.He was a martial artist—one who moved with lethal control.He wa

Lilian slammed the car door harder than necessary.The sound echoed in the underground parking lot, sharp and humiliating. Her heels clicked angrily as she turned on Victor the moment they were out of sight, her composure cracking.“Do you have any idea what you caused today?” she snapped, grabbing his wrist. “I told you to behave. I told you to stay put. Why would you do something so stupid in a place like that—especially with attendants that brainless?”Victor’s eyes reddened instantly.“I—I didn’t think—” his voice trembled. “They said it was fine. They told me—”“Enough!” Lilian cut in sharply. “Those attendants are disposable. They exist to clean up messes, not create them. You should’ve known better than to let things escalate.”Her words cut deeper than she intended. Victor’s lips quivered. He lowered his head, tears pooling despite his effort to hold them back.“I didn’t mean to,” he whispered.Lilian paused, irritation flickering with discomfort. She looked away, rubbing her

Arthur calmly stared at the lady.He wasn’t sure how he had offended her, but judging by her sharp expression, he clearly had. She had collided with him moments ago, yet the irritation in her eyes suggested she believed the fault lay entirely with him.Hamas, however, had no such patience.Still raw from the humiliation inside the store, the fire in his chest had nowhere to go. The moment he sensed hostility, it burst free.“How dare you talk to my master like that?” Hamas snapped, stepping forward without hesitation. “Weren’t you the one who bumped into him?”The woman froze. Her lips parted as she stared at him, visibly caught off guard. “E– excuse me?” she said. “And who exactly are you to speak to me like that?”“No, lady,” Hamas shot back, voice rising as he planted himself firmly in front of Arthur, “who are you?”Cherry pressed closer behind him, her small hands gripping the back of his coat, face buried against him as if he were a shield.“You ran into him and didn’t even say
