Russell was only on the ground floor, but he was already seeing the presidents and prime ministers and popular artists from other countries.“I wasn’t expecting this at all,” Russell expressed his surprise. “So many big-time politicians are coming to inaugurate a game…”“Well, when the pond is full, the frogs assemble,” replied Elora. “Be careful around every single one of them, as you don’t know which one is poisonous or not.” She had experience with politicians when she was young.“Are politicians all really that bad?”“Not all, but almost all of them are corrupt,” Elora opined. “You may get rich in this world without doing bad things, but you will never get to power without you or your family members doing nasty things in the dark. And to stay in power, they do a lot more wicked stuff.”“Some are drunk on money, and some are drunk on power, huh…”“Yeah, both are dangerous in their own ways,” Elora said.“Does Grandpa fall in the first category?”“I won’t answer because you probably

Teresa’s nerves twitched when she heard and then saw Jessica chuckling. “What is so funny, huh? When you smile, all I see is your teeth. That’s what’s really funny.”Jessica frowned in anger.Jennifer was surprised to see Jessica. She quickly whispered to her mother, “She’s Russell’s friend.”“Ah-huh, so that’s how it is…” Teresa smirked. “I was wondering how these two bumpkins managed to get in here, but you are the one who snuck them in here. Birds of the same feather do indeed flock together.”“Don’t run your mouth just because your tongue is itchy, Teresa,” Russell said, surprising her and others because he called her by her name without any honorifics, which was something even Arnold never ever thought of doing.“Russell,’ Jennifer stepped forward in indignation. “How can you call grandmother by name? Call her grandma!”“I’d rather sing like a bird or bark like a dog or snore like your daughter than call this old woman my grandma,” Russell replied without a shred of hesitation, l

“I’ll ask you a simple question,” Jessica was talking with Russell. “If you give the correct answer, I’ll talk with my boss so that you’ll get the gaming gear for a huge discount.”“But I already bought the gear the other day,” he said.“Eh?” Jessica was shocked. “T-Then, I’ll try to get you some services from the company for a discount.”“Mm, alright. Throw the question,” he said.“Whose chest is heavier?” Jessica asked. “Yours or mine?”“Pfft,” Kyra who just arrived there ended up spilling the wine in her mouth.Russell and Jessica turned to face her.Kyra looked embarrassed. “Uh, ahem, hello, Russell.”Jessica’s eyes slightly widened, but she quickly said, “What the hell do you want with him?”Kyra frowned. “I’m talking with him. What’s your problem?”“He’s my man,” Jessica quickly locked her arm around Russell’s arm. “So, of course, his problems are also my problems.”“W-What?” Kyra was shocked.“Stop going overboard, Jessica,” Russell removed Jessica’s hand, making her pout a li

A few minutes earlier.“Please, Russell. Just one more chance…” Kyra grabbed Russells’ fist and held it with both hands. “I made the same mistake twice. I will not do it for a third time. Please trust me.”As those words fell in Jessica’s ears, her heart raced. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t even take a step forward or backward. She wanted to stop Russell from answering. She also wanted to run away so she wouldn’t be able to hear what he would say. But she could do neither right now.“Kyra…” Russell was saying, and Charlotte quickly entered her vision.“Kyra, are you out of your mind?” Charlotte grabbed her arm from behind while keeping her voice as low as possible because she didn’t want to make a scene. “Do you have any idea how you look right now? Like a cat returning to its vomit. That’s how you look when you are talking to him. My daughter, who can make the princes wait for her, wants to lower herself for what? Because you couldn’t forget him even after he backstabbed you and ch

“Dream Creed isn’t made just for entertainment but to also give a middle finger to the international money lenders who have the governments dancing in their palms for decades,” Regan added. “Now, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying you should earn only if you play my game, but you should at least do something to earn something unlike those bankers who bulk up and enrich themselves while doing nothing.“Power should be with the people, not with those who think they’re above the people. The governments or any public and private institutions must exist for the people, and so they can never be above the people. Laws must be made for all the people and not just to protect the interests of those few who do anything to stay in power. Police, military, president and everyone in the senate are answerable to the common man. Do not be afraid to face the authorities, people. Remember… A nation must fall before a man’s rights are violated. Nobody can take away our God-given freedoms. The feds a
