The Hyde Agent
Chairman Steven Gardner made arrangements for me, the country's top-secret human weapon, to return home for a blind date with his granddaughter, Jessica Gardner.
Jessica didn't just come from a powerful family. She was very capable herself. In spite of her young age, she had a net worth of over tens of millions. She was also the high-profile CEO of Gardner Corp.
Due to my unique status, Steven had instructed one of Gardner Corp's hotels to customize a presidential suite with the highest level of security for me.
I arrived at the hotel right on time and was ready to check in.
Before I could speak, an arrogant-looking man in an expensive suit shoved me aside and cut in.
"Get me a presidential suite."
The receptionist explained that the last presidential suite had already been reserved by me.
The man pointed at me and started yelling impatiently.
"Are you blind? You've got some nerve stealing my room. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
My body was already close to its limit. I urgently needed to get to my room.
"I booked that room first. Who are you to tell me off like that?"
He sneered dismissively when I questioned him.
"So what if you did? Listen up. In Alphaville, the Gardner family is the law. Anyone who touches what belongs to the Gardner family won't walk out of this city alive!"
My head was pounding. My alter, the one people called a nuclear weapon in a human form, was about to break free.
I might or might not walk out of Alphaville alive, but there was a good chance this guy wouldn't even make it out of this hotel alive today.
