Chapter 105 Poor Barlyn
“Captain Barlyn…
“Don’t call me Captain Barlyn, it’s too formal. You’re Clarissa’s savior, my savior, just call me by my ‘name.”
Osborne nodded. “Alright then”
In a low voice, he asked, “Barlyn, Ms. Donna Radcliffe froze your credit cards? You became the head of the security team to make money? NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“She is really strict with you, huh?”
Barlyn sighed, “Tell me about it. Sometimes, I even doubt if I’m really her biological son. Life is tough, you know?
“People think I’m a rich playboy from an ancient family, living a life of luxury, driving fancy ears, dating supermodels and celebrities. But that’s not true at all!
“I just like to drink, but my mom controls my finances Now, if I want a drink, I have to shamelessly ask you to treat me. How pathetic is that?”
After expressing his thoughts, Barlyn looked hopeless.
Osborne was taken aback by his words and couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic towards Barlyn.
He thought, “This is indeed a tough situation
But it might be beneficial for me
If Harlyn only became the head of Clarissa’s security team because he needed money, would he quit if he had money?
But giving him money directly is out of the question.
Otherwise, Parlyn would suspect my motives.
So, I must help Barlyn make money!”
After some thought, Osborne said, “Earlyn, drinking is not a problem, but there’s no rush I’m about to do something to make money, it’s a bit risky and I’m not very confident about it. How strong are you?”
Barlyn’s eyes lit up at his words. “I’m pretty strong, I may not be as powerful as my mom, but I’m at least a Class Cearth elemental metahuman.”
Osborne nodded in response.
“Well then, that’s settled! With your help, I’ll have a shot at success. Want to join me for a big score? If we succeed, I’ll split the earnings with you, three to seven!”
Barlyn was completely intrigued, asking, “Three to seven? How much is that?
“And what exactly are we doing?”
Osborne smiled, “I’m not entirely sure about the amount, but at least tens of millious? And if it’s less than 100 million dollars, I’ll make up the difference for you.”

Barlyn’s eyes widened in excitement.

“I’m in Count me in! With 100 million, I won’t have to worry about my mom freezing my credit cards anymore. Haha, Osborne, you’re my bro now!”
Barlyn was beyond excited.
Osborne was speechless, thinking, “Just the promise of 100 million has gotten Barlyn, the scion of an ancient family, this excited. How strict can Donna really be with him?
Even heirs like Ophelia and Wesley aren’t affected like this.”
“Osborne, what are we doing exactly? To make 100 million? I can’t wait, let’s get moving!”
Barlyn was eager.
Osborne smiled, “Don’t rush, we’ll talk as we go.”
The two of them left the Radcliffe Manor side by side.
Unbeknownst to them, in a distant attic, Donna frowned tightly as she watched the two of them leave shoulder to shoulder.
“What is Barlyn so excited about? Is Osborne leading him to do something nefarious?”
Clarissa, hearing this, couldn’t bear it and retorted, “Aunt Donna, why do you think it’s Osborne leading Barlyn into trouble, and not the other way around?”
Donna sneered, saying, “Because Barlyn doesn’t have money!
Clarissa was speechless and somewhat helpless, but she had a hint of empathy for Barlyn deep in her eyes.
“I trust Osborne, he wouldn’t do anything bad!”
Donna turned and stared at Clarissa seriously.
She said sternly, “Clarissa, even though Osborne saved you multiple times, you must not develop feelings for him! You should know the huge gap in your identities!”
Clarissa was taken aback and bit her lip.
“L.. I won’t!”
Donna said calmly. “It’s better if you don’t
“Do you know why I chose Barlyn to be your head bodyguard instead of Osborne to replace Paul?*
Clarissa asked curiously, “Why?
“Aunt Donna, Osborne has saved me three times already. You should know that he would never harm me. Why do you still distrust him?”
Donna furrowed her brow and replied, “I do believe now that Osborne wouldn’t hurt you. My issue is that I still don’t understand why he’s protecting you so fiercely!
“You know, Osborne doesn’t need money. The amount we could offer lum wouldn’t be enough to explain why he’s going to such extremes for you!
“What’s his real motivation?
“The only explanation as that he’s purssing you, trying to win you over

“Wh… what? That’s impossible! We’ve already asked him before, and he denied it. Plus, my meta– ability tells me he wasn’t lying ”
Clarissa’s voice faltered as she spoke, her eyes betraying a hint of disappointment
Donna, however, remained serious. “Clarissa, your ability to detect lies isn’t infallible. Remember? Paul managed to lie right to your face for a long time, and you didn’t catch on.”
Clarissa was taken aback, and then a flicker of realization crossed her face
