General Olson left Adam’s side and stormed over to Austin’s side, his face blazing as he walked over, standing a few feet away he gritted his teeth through his set jaw,Austin's words were like a blow to his personality, he was only here because of General Sventin’s request, and even though he had been reluctant to come over he did so out of respect to the highly decorated general, and he wasn't regretting that decision as it had brought him across Adam’s path once again.Austin was oblivious to General Olson’s anger, his own anger and disgust had blinded his vision as he glared at the General; this was supposed to be his victory moment, the opportunity to have the pauper lick his feet, but all of that had been taken from him.“No one dares stand or dares to question the general, everyone knows that!”Someone in the crowd muttered, and a few people nodded,Austin was obviously deaf to their words as he further grated on General Olson’s nerves, still jabbing his finger at Adam’s path,

Everyone watched with bated breaths as Austin got on his knees, mumbling in a voice that one could hardly hear, despite the pain in his swollen jaw, he grated his teeth, “I apologize Mr Adam for my misconduct, it won't happen again” he began and was harshly interrupted by the general,“Make it sincere Mr Parker! We do not have all day!!”Sweat dripped from Austin's head and armpits, and he looked up at Adam with hateful eyes that were damning him to blazes. If Austin Parker had been given an opportunity to eat dust or count the water in the ocean, he would have gladly done so, he would have taken any other difficult cause, as against bowing and apologising to the person that had inherently become his mortal enemy. “Mr Adam, I'm sorry 6u , and he smirked at him in return, for effect, he tapped the insolent man on his stiff shoulders, and for good measure, added, “Go and sin no more Parker. Don't go judging a book by its cover, you can never tell its content by that. I want nothing to

Although Adam had to go see Amber, he needed to do a few things before going over to see Amber and Sage Robinson and with that decision, he headed to the bank, he needed some cash to himself.Making up his mind, he got into a taxi and made way to the prestigious Haman Hale Bank, the bank was known as the bank for elites, and not all and sundry.Walking towards the entrance, he couldn't help feeling a little out of place, considering he knew how much the bank was keen on appearances and keeping up with appearances, the interior and exterior of the building was enough to make one feel out of place, especially one who was dressed the way he was,For a split second, he wondered why he found himself bothered, just as he approached the doors, he was waylaid by a voice that sounded a little scornful,“Good day Sir, how many we help you?"He turned to see one of the bank staff approaching him, her face was a mix of disdain and surprise. The lady assumed Adam must have lost his way into their

Despite her smug declaration, Adam remained unfazed, for he knew what he held in his palm, after all he was the owner and knew the card wasn't just for any of the VIP members, it was actually for a selected few that were addressed as the SVIP members and not regular members, hence the employee couldn't be privy to such information. "This isn't just any VIP card. It's a diamond card, a level you're clearly unfamiliar with," he replied, his voice steady, the slight curve of his lips betraying his amusement.The man laughed, a harsh sound that reverberated through the halls, “Diamond card? You must be joking. The bank would never issue something like that to someone like you." He sounded incredulous as well as stunned, a thought creeping into him, The crowd watched, torn between disbelief and curiosity. The banking hall was quite tensed, Adam stood straight and faced the stranger, his anger was beginning to rise, “You'll disbelieve it because you're not part of the privileged lot who

“We don't have all day Mr Adam, don't keep us all waiting" Mr Durmont sneered and everyone was in agreement as they also sneered at Adam, “The more time you waste, the more it gets harder for you to prove your innocence" he air-quoted the word as he looked at Adam.With a shake of his head, Adam stretched his hand with the card to Mr Durmont,"Since you claim you're a VIP at this bank, then here” he handed the card over, while Mr Durmont dragged it with no hesitation, “look it over and see if its…” he trailed and said nothing more, waiting for Mr Durmont's feedback, who still had a sneer on his face while perusing the card. Mr Durmont couldn't figure the card out, but he was certain Adam was only calling their bluff, and so he turned to gaze at the bank employee,“Where's your manager?" He inquired and the young lady shrugged as she replied,"He's quite a busy man, and he's currently not on seat” she supplied while still looking at Adam. Mr Durmont waved her reply away, “Well, then
