I stop walk for a moment while my gaze fixed on a group of teenagers gawking at me suddenly I waving at them with a right hand while I smirk the hint of a challenge in my eyes even they don't saw it.

Teenager 1: Wow, look at her skin! It's so... White.

Her friend nodded at her with a smiled face suddenly I felt a strong arm wrap around my collar its grip on my left shoulder tightening a cold metallic point pressed against left my neck I knew it was a knife.

Without hesitation I grabbed the knife from the attacker's left hand with my left hand pulling it free with a swift toss I sent it skyward then caught the handle mid-air in a single fluid motion I plunged.

The blade into the attacker's right side while the attacker's grip on my shoulder loosened and stumbled backward crashing to the floor my left hand already balled into a fist a crimson.

Spray erupted painting the floor with blood I blinked my vision clearing I found myself standing the world swirling around me as if time itself had sped up then in a rush my senses returned.

(Kananiko) Me: Butler.

I said while my voice a low guttural growl resonated with a deep huskiness he rushed toward me worry etched across his face.

While Emi, Ji-yoo, and Sakura stared in stunned silence their faces a canvas of shock at what they'd just witnessed.

(Kananiko) Me: Teach this attacker's a lesson, if fight back kill him immediately.

I said as I whisper he nodded at me with a normal face suddenly Jiro Bodyguard 7 and Jungkook Bodyguard 5 run towards this attacker's they lifted him.

Suddenly I noticed him stared at Jiro's gun without hesitation I quickly pull out my gun from my belt bag I pull the head of the gun and pointed it towards him.

(Kananiko) Me: Don't force me to put bullets through your got damn head!!!.

As I started to shoot him the Butler suddenly stopped me he grabbed my right hand with his forcing me to lower the gun.

(Kananiko) Me: Take him away from here!!!.

I said while my voice still a low guttural growl resonated with a deep huskiness while they nodded at me with a normal face.

Bodyguards: はい、若様.

I nodded at him with a cold face suddenly Bodyguard 1 sprinted towards me he was ready to provide immediate aid his name Kim Jae-hyun 24 years old from Seoul, South Korea.

Pure Korean he'd been our bodyguard since he was just 19 years old a testament to his dedication his background was far from typical security he'd volunteered as a medic and was in fact.

A fully qualified international doctor a testament to his diverse skills he helped me to a nearby bench where he quickly tended to the deep gash on my left palm he carefully wrapped.

A cotton bandage around my left palm the white cloth a stark contrast to the crimson stain of the wound a sudden chill swept over me as a breath cool and unfamiliar grazed my right ear.

Ji-yoo: Let's enjoy tonight's movies.

Her voice whispered laced with a hint of mischief and seductive I turn to look at her with a curious face suddenly Emi walk towards us with a smiled face.

Emi: I'm so excited to see how empty your credit card can get, Kananiko. At least I'm not that bad of a friend right?.

Her voice laced with a hint of impatient amusement cut through the air well, Emi you've picked the wrong target I don't back down from a challenge easily she grinned while her eyes.

Twinkling with mischief I stood up we start walk meanwhile Ji-yoo gleaming with a cold intelligence swept across the scene taking in every detail with a calculating gaze.

Ji-yoo: I'm more interested in technology. Perhaps a new phone or a pair of high-end headphones.

Her voice a low smooth whisper I turn to look at her with a curious face well, she stared at me with smirk face.

Sakura: I'm not sure I'm comfortable with all this shopping. I'd rather be at an art gallery or a museum.

Her voice soft and hesitant spoke up suddenly strong arms wrapped around me from behind and a soft chin rested gently on my left shoulder.

A subtle smile played on my lips as I noticed a high-end jewelry store, its windows a dazzling kaleidoscope of sparkling diamonds and precious stones.

(Kananiko) Me: Don't worry, Sakura. We'll find something for everyone. Even for the art enthusiast in the group.

I reassured her while my voice laced with amusement after she released me from her embrace, we walked towards the transparent doors and I pushed open the door.

The chime of the bell announcing our arrival the air inside hummed with the scent of expensive perfume and the low buzz of hushed conversations my gaze swept over the rows of glittering displays.

Sending a thrill of luxury and excitement through me this was my element the world of luxury and extravagance where power and wealth were flaunted with a blatant disregard for subtlety.

(Kananiko) Me: Let's start with the basics. Diamonds are a girl's best friend after all.

My voice a low purr that hinted at a hidden my strength gesturing towards a display case filled with exquisite necklaces, earrings, and rings.

Suddenly I heard whispers buzzed through the air as the three sales ladies caught sight of me suddenly a smile playing on my lips ah I recognize that song Jet Lag by Simple Plan Classic.

Sales Lady 1: Guys, Kananiko Doksi is here.

She breathed while her eyes wide with awe well, I turn to look at her with a smiled face.

Sales Lady 2: Oh my gosh she's so fucking hot!.

With a touch of disbelief gasped I turn to look at her with a smiled face.

Sales Lady 3: She's definitely my type.

Her face flushed whispered I turn to look at her with a smiled face.

(Kananiko) Me: Hi I need assist here please.

They quickly walk towards me with a smiled face I shaking my head with a smiled face I turn to look at Emi with a smiled face.

Emi's eyes gleaming with a mixture of greed and curiosity approached the case her fingers traced the intricate patterns of the jewels a mix of fascination and longing dancing.

Across her features lost in a world of diamonds and emeralds she was a woman of ambition a force to be reckoned with but she was also vulnerable easily swayed by the allure of luxury.

Ji-yoo's gaze fixed on a pair of diamond-studded headphones her mind already lost in a world of its own her fingers traced the intricate patterns of the jewels a mix of fascination.

A longing dancing across her features she was a woman of ambition a force to be reckoned with but she was also vulnerable easily swayed by the allure of luxury.
