Alex POV
After I hailed a taxi, I got in and said to the driver, "Please take me to Bay Realty Agency."
The driver calmly drove towards the destination while I was lost in thought. I wondered how I could leverage my medical skills to open a new shop. I had a recipe for making tea and coffee, and I knew that combining it with my high-level cooking skills would have a unique impact. I was extremely excited to start this new project.
When we arrived at my destination, I got out of the car, paid the driver 100 yen, and said, "Thank you."
The building in front of me was four stories high, exuding a sense of calm professionalism. I entered through the glass door, and immediately a smiling employee approached me: "Hello, sir, how can I assist you?"
I replied politely, "I need to see some plots of land that do not exceed 500 square meters."
The employee gestured with her hand, "Please follow me."
She led me to the reception area, where she asked me to sit. It wasn't long before she returned, holding illustrative models of the lands. As she presented them, a plot near the Capital Magic College caught my attention. I asked with focus, "What is the size of this plot, and how much does it cost?"
The employee responded, pointing to the model, "This plot is 450 square meters, and the price per square meter is $100, making the total price $45,000."
I didn't hesitate to make the purchase after hearing the price. "I want to buy this plot," I said firmly.
The employee was delighted because completing the deal would earn her a 2% commission, equivalent to $900, which was her salary for three months. She rushed to print the two contracts and said, "Here you go, please sign here."
After signing the contract, I asked, "Can you recommend an excellent home designer?"
The employee replied after some thought, "I have a friend who works in home design and decoration. I'll give you her number, and she'll be able to help you."
I received the number, paid for the land, and left, heading towards a car dealership to buy a car.
"Please take me to the car dealership," I requested from the driver.

In a luxurious villa in the Capital Magic City, a young man with dyed green hair, weighing over 120 kg, was relaxing with three women. The young man woke up to find himself surrounded by the women, smiled wickedly, and began playing random football in the room. After half an hour, he picked up his phone and called with a firm tone, "How are the preparations going?"
The person on the other end replied confidently, "Everything is ready, sir."
The young man replied sternly, "I don't want any mistakes. You know the consequences."
"Yes, sir," came the reply.
After ending the call, the young man muttered to himself, "Joe Shiner, today you will be mine."
Alex POV
After arriving at the car dealership, I asked an employee there, "How much is this car?"
The employee replied, "This is a Range Rover SUV, combining luxury, power, and off-road capability. It is available in several models, including the P400 MHEV model with a mild hybrid system and a 3-liter engine producing 395 horsepower. You can also choose between two 3-liter diesel engines with either 296 or 345 horsepower. The price is 1,500,000 yen."
"Alright, I'll buy it. Please have it delivered to this address," I said.
"Of course, sir," the employee replied.
After leaving the dealership, I checked my watch and saw that it was three in the afternoon. I decided to go to a restaurant for a meal. "I'll take a walk for a bit," I said to myself.
After half an hour of wandering, I arrived at a small restaurant. The design was simple but comfortable. I sat down and ordered, "Give me a bowl of soup, some salad, and a plate of potatoes."
I received my order and began eating. After I finished and felt satisfied, I left the restaurant, heading towards one of the parks. I sat under the trees there, thinking, and closed my eyes to relax.
Third POV
In the back seat of a black car, a young woman sat, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders like silk threads. Her black eyes gleamed sharply, like mirrors reflecting a world full of secrets. Her ivory-colored skin appeared flawless, while her perfectly contoured pink lips added an expression of calm and composure to her face.
She wasn't just beautiful; she embodied a refined and elegant beauty. She was Joe Shiner, the queen of business in the Capital Magic City. But now, anyone who looked at her could tell she was simmering with suppressed anger.
When Joe Shiner thought of the bodyguard her grandfather had imposed on her, she felt a flame of anger igniting in her chest. How could my grandfather send me someone dressed like a beggar under the pretext that he loves simplicity?
Thinking of that made her scowl in disgust. That bodyguard, with his beggarly appearance and filthy lustful gaze, tainted her exquisite beauty, like an unsightly stain on a perfect canvas.
She couldn't stand the idea of someone like him appearing beside her, which is why she was so angry.
"Madam, are you sure you don't want to take the bodyguard with us?" asked the driver.
"No, I'll sign the contract and return quickly. With his appearance, the other party might think I'm trying to insult them."
The driver, remembering the bodyguard's appearance, nodded in agreement, so he continued driving towards the meeting place.

"Ugh."
My senses were awakened by the whispers of nature around me as I lay on soft green grass under a cloudy sky. I slowly opened my eyes and felt the cool breeze gently brushing my face, making me aware of my surroundings. I tried to recall how I ended up here, and the details of my busy day and wandering in the city came flooding back.
I sat on my knees, trying to familiarize myself with my surroundings. The park was surrounded by walls of ornate stone, giving it a special and distinctive character. I took a deep breath, dispelling the dizziness that had overtaken me. I looked at my watch, which showed eight in the evening. Night was approaching, and I decided to return to the hotel quickly. I stood up, trying to shake off the lingering effects of sleep that I hadn't expected to last long.
"Damn it, I fell asleep in the park," I muttered to myself as I headed towards the nearest taxi, determined to get back as quickly as possible.
Upon arriving at the hotel, I took the elevator and went up to the required floor. As I approached my room, I heard faint whispers coming from the end of the corridor. I stopped and noticed two strong-built men carrying an unconscious woman and dragging her into one of the rooms.
I wanted to ignore it, but something inside me wouldn't allow it. My heart was racing, and my instinct told me something bad was happening. I hesitated for a moment, then decided to investigate, "Damn it, let me just check."
Third POV
In one of the cars, two strong-built men sat in the back with an unconscious girl, who was none other than Joe Shiner.
"Sir, the mission is complete," said one of the men over the phone.
"Good. Take her to our family hotel," came the reply.
"Yes, sir."
One of the men said to his friend, "Let's go to the Mo Family Hotel."
After half an hour of driving, the men got out and carried Joe Shiner through the back entrance of the hotel. They went up to the ninth floor and entered the agreed-upon room. They placed the girl on the bed, and one of them said, "It seems that young master Mo will have a good time tonight."
"Yeah, you're right," replied the other. "Just thinking about spending time with such beauty excites me."
They both started laughing, but unbeknownst to them, Joe Shiner had woken up and heard everything that was said.
Joe Shiner POV
What should I do? I'm scared... no, terrified. I've always analyzed situations with rationality and calm, but now? Now I'm lost in a whirlpool of fear and doubts. Dear God, help me... No, I can't let panic take over my thoughts. I must keep my composure.
But who is this kidnapper? Is it really that insolent man from the Mo family? This can't be happening! How did I end up here? All I remember...
I had just finished signing contracts with my partners. I felt a bit relieved as I left the building and got into my car, but when I asked the driver to take me home, there was no response. Something was wrong.
I slowly lifted my head to see what was going on, and suddenly found a strong hand covering my mouth and nose, preventing me from screaming... preventing me from calling for help. I can't believe this is happening to me. How dare that fat scoundrel, whose humiliating proposal I had rejected, try to kidnap me? I knew he was corrupt; the whole city knows his notorious reputation, but to go this far...?
I felt suffocated, not just by fear, but by rage. How dare he! As I was drowning in my scattered thoughts, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I froze in place, not daring to breathe.
"Who's there?" One of the guards' voices rang out, stern and authoritative.
"Delivery man." Came the reply from behind the door, in a calm, monotonous tone.
The two men exchanged questioning glances. This wasn't part of the plan. "Maybe Mr. Mo sent something. Open the door and check."
My heart was pounding wildly, every sound around me magnified in my ears. My hands trembled as I tried to calm myself. "Calm down, Shiner, you have to think clearly, now is not the time to fall apart." I tried to remind myself that I was strong, that I could face this ordeal. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a few moments, trying to regain my composure... but the fear was still gnawing at me from the inside. I was terrified that what was behind the door might be something I couldn't face...
The man began to approach the door, and I felt time slow down. Each step he took felt like it was pushing me closer to an endless abyss. I tried to think of a way out, a way to save myself, but all I could focus on was the sound of my racing heartbeat.
