Matthew was now even more confused.

The way Marty put it was strange. Opulent Club was built for his sake? Matthew refused to believe that. And he wasn't the only one, even the two receptionists appeared dumbstruck. Opulent Club was the most secretive and lucrative club in Lambda City.

Influential figures and wealthy businessmen of Lambda City prided themselves on being members of the establishment. Many often flexed their membership to demonstrate their status. But Marty now said this place was opened for Matthew. Who on earth was Matthew?

Marty noticed Matthew's confusion. "We're not in the right place to talk, Mr. Grant. Please head to the ninth floor. Someone will explain everything to you."

The ninth floor? The two receptionists nearby gasped in surprise.

Since Opulent Club was first established, hardly anyone visited the third floor. Only one person had been to the fourth floor, and no one had ever set foot on all the subsequent floors. The mysterious ninth floor was a legend. But mere moments ago, Marty had invited Matthew there.

The two receptionists stood there with their mouths agape for a long time.

Marty's treatment prompted Matthew to press for the truth. "Sure, let's go somewhere private. I'm keen to hear what you have to say."

Marty leaned forward and gestured. "This way, Mr. Grant."

Matthew nodded in agreement and followed Marty to the ninth floor.

After a chime, the elevator doors opened.

Marty held the elevator doors open with one hand and gestured with the other. "Please go ahead, Mr. Grant."

Matthew stepped out of the elevator but noticed Marty stayed inside. He asked, "Aren't you coming?"

Marty's eyes darkened. "Apologies, I'm not allowed on the ninth floor. Don't worry, someone will attend to you."

Once again feeling annoyed by the complicated rules, Matthew's mouth twitched. Even the manager wasn't authorized to enter the ninth floor.

The ninth floor had truly piqued Matthew's interest this time. He turned away from Marty and headed inside.

The ninth floor boasted 10,000 square feet of space. It was oddly decorated and divided into ten sections.

The decor in each section was bizarre, like individual bed-and-breakfast lots. Each area showcased a different theme.

For example, the first section

resembled an old pharmacy. The chairs, tables, and cabinets were all made of wood, and there was a bookshelf of various medicatbooks.

An old man in his 70s stood there. He had a smooth face, gray hair, and a healthy complexion. At that moment, he was reading a medical book. Hearing footsteps, the old man immediately stood up and fixed his gaze on Matthew.

At last, when he laid eyes on Matthew's Juprus Ring, he leaned

forward and said, "It really is you, Mr. Matthew Grant. I'm Ansel Mullins.

You must have heard of me

Ansel Mullins? Matthew was taken aback. Before Nicholas left, Matthew was assigned the task of seeking out Ansel to get further details.

Nicholas cautioned him that it was a difficult task. Matthew was advised not to seek Ansel out unless he had everything sorted at home and was ready for the task.

With deep gratitude, Matthew vowed to Nicholas that he would complete the task, no matter how difficult it might be.

Matthew received Ansel's contact information from Nicholas. He had planned to seek Ansel out after getting out of prison and taking care of things at home.

But things didn't go as planned. Right after Matthew was released from prison, Tessa filed for divorce, and he still hadn't sorted things out at home. Unexpectedly, Matthew came across Ansel at this place.

Since Matthew had run into Ansel,

he decided to replace out the details of the task Nicholas had assigned.. "Since we're here, can you tell me about the task my mentor left for me?"

Ansel chuckled. "Opulent Club was built for you, sir. Have a seat, and I'll make you some coffee. We can slowly get into it."
