CHAPTER 21
Heavy dense gasps filled the air, enhancing the blunt silence that erupted from the crowd. Everyone watched what would happen next. And then Nathan pulled out his gift. It was a bouquet. He dropped the flower and frowned. “Oh crap! What has Nathan gotten himself into?” Neil whispered and shut his eyes in shame for his friend. “I thought he said he wasn’t going to make it! Now dude’s about to get messed up again!” Marcus agreed. They were both feeling bad for Nathan already. He has put himself in the spotlight and is now about to embarrass himself. Suddenly, a loud laughter from David broke through the silence and echoed in the bar. Every other person began to laugh loudly at Nathan too. “Flowers? He brought flowers? Has he no shame? First, he had the guts to come here with Abigail, now, he is attempting to steal Amanda?” “He thinks this is a birthday party for losers!” “Maybe he thinks it's a gift for Amanda, but it’s actually a tribute for his funeral! I wonder what Da

CHAPTER 22
Marcus and Neil quickly rushed outside to meet Nathan. There he was standing with milk all over his body with Abigail by his side. Marcus and Neil had been noticing some changes in Nathan recently. “Dude. What happened back there? I thought you said..” “Forget what happened back there. Let’s just say everything went according to plan! Now, tell me, who wants to go to Disneyland with them?” Nathan asked. “I do! I mean! Marcus first spoke up followed by a nervous smirk! “I’ve always wanted to go there! You know, since I was a kid!” “Good. Here. Take this!” Nathan handed a black box to Marcus. “This is your gift to Amanda.” “What’s in it?” “It’s a Diamond necklace. It’s worth $1.7 Million!” Nathan announced and Marcus almost dropped the box to the ground but with a good reflex, he swiftly caught the box. He examined it with so much attention and detail. He was holding $1.7 Million in his hands? In a tiny box? His hands were shaking! “How… What's going on, man? How did yo

CHAPTER 23
Different students kept bashing the group chat with mesages. Messages about Nathan’s demise at Cheng bar. Pictures and videos were already flying across on the internet. Nathan’s face was now everywhere, labeled as the church rat. Many called him milkman, some flower boy and others, bouquet boy. “He ran home like a little baby! He couldn’t stand it. What’s was he even thinking?” “At least dude had to get a taste of wealth. May take a couple of years before he experiences another!” The mockery was so intense that it began to piss Nathan off. But he said and did nothing. He wasn’t going to engage in cyber fight with those brokies. He was way above their level. Let them talk. Talk is cheap. As for him, he would make sure they all see who he truly is. Someone then tagged Marcus. “Hey dude! That was some crazy ass shit you pulled up back there! Where did you get that necklace? You stole it?” “Yeah man!” Another person commented. “That shit is worth $1 Million! How did you get it

The first votes began to come in. James Brown gifted a Sparkling Diamond $5 to Hailey White. X1, X2, X3! Janet Foster gifted a Bouquet Bundle $100 to Rose Buenavista X1, X2, X8, X10! Joe gifted a Luxe Tiara $1000 to Amanda $1000. X1 X2. This last vote made everyone pause. Someone just spent $2000 on Amanda? “Yo Joe! $2000? That’s large bro!” “For real! $2000? Who can spend more than that?” “I don’t think anyone else can. Except Dave!” More and more votes kept coming in and stats showed truly that Amanda was definitely going to win the contest. She was already topping 2nd on the chart as expected. The top 5 beauties kept flaunting their golden skin and angelic faces to their camera to attract more gifts from viewers. Dave refrained from gifting. He just smiled at his pc. He didn’t need to lift a finger, his girlfriend would win. She now had a lot of fans after the birthday party. It was all part of the game. David threw the birthday party for that very reason. He

CHAPTER 26
The whole stream session went dead silent for a few seconds. No one said anything. Then suddenly.. “Daaamn! That is impossible! Fuckin impossible!” “Who is Mr. Humble Bunny?” “Who is that guy? He just spent a whopping $15,000 for April?” “Do we know him? He has no display picture! He bought the multiverse!” “And why did he purchase it for April? Does April have a rich boyfriend?” April went to take a glass of water so she didn’t know what was going on at first. But when she returned, the glass cup of water fell from her hand and came crashing on the tile floor in her bedroom. “Did.. did somebody just gift me a Multiverse? 3 Multiverses? H.. how? How is it possible? Who is this?” Everyone began posting on their social media platforms and tagging other schools. Soon, the livestream blew up. It went from 2000 to 3500 viewers in less than a minute. “Alright! It seems someone here has decided to take the snake by the tail and I must say, I am impressed. And now, just like

CHAPTER 27
“Everyone, give it up for April Freeman, the winner of the Beauty Contest this month.” Bubble Gum enunciated. Everyone began to send their applaud emojis and mind blowing themes to express their shock. “Now, you all know that April Freeman has been the 4th Beauty Queen for a long long time now. It seems like someone has stepped in to raise her from the pit to the hit! This mysterious person is Mr. Humble Bunny! Do you have anything to say, Mr. Humble Bunny?” Nathan carved a light smile on his face. Why were the viewers panicking? Well, it is what it is. He was happy that he was able to help April get to the top. He felt that she deserved it and was willing to do more for her. After seeing the comments from guys who were only after her because of her body, he knew that he had to put those perverts to shame and force them to respect her. Nathan wasn’t in any competition with David. He simply wanted to teach everyone a lesson that anyone at any point in time can elevate from

apartment to take a look when he noticed that people were running up and down, to and fro. It was 12: 25 in the middle of the night and no one seemed to be asleep. The breeze was way heavier than usual and it was ripping apart people’s rooftops, breaking down trees and blowing items around. And finally, a heavy downpour began. The rain began pouring so severely that Nathan was forced to close the doors and other windows of his house. But it was to no avail. The heavy wind broke though and his house began to collapse. Water was gushing in. He quickly gathered his valuables like his iPhone, a few clothes and some cash, his documents, his exclusive card and other items and stuffed them into his go bag. Why was there a sudden downpour and why was it this heavy? Did the weather forecast even predict this? Nathan looked at his home. It was getting really messed up. The level water was rising. He took a final glance at his house before leaving for good. This was going to be his fin

CHAPTER 29
The little girl was bleeding severely from her leg and whimpering in the cold. The water was splashing directly onto her skin, making it even more difficult for her to bear the excruciating pain. “Oh shit! Can you lift your leg?” Nathan stooped down low and tried to help her. But it was obvious that the little girl was dying already. A heavy brick had fallen on her and there was no way he could push it away by himself. “Damn it! Hold on, little girl. I’m coming right back!” Nathan hurried back to the car and called the driver to help him raise the little girl. “Look! I’m not helping you do no shit! You paid me to drive you somewhere despite the heavy flood. We are halfway through and now you want to cut the journey to help a girl you don’t even know? Let her die. She won’t be the first!” The driver spat arrogantly with no trace of empathy. “Have you no conscience? There’s a little girl that needs help out there and all you care about is..” “..is my money! I want my money. It

CHAPTER 30
“Oh good lord, young master! You almost gave me a heart attack! I’ve been trying to…” “Forget all that, Fred. I’m in Lawson hospital at the moment with a little girl who is badly hurt. The staff here don’t seem to be so nice. This little girl is dying and they deprive her of emergency treatment because of my appearance! What can you do about it?” Nathan asked quickly, turning back to look at the little girl. “Young master. You have a good heart. Now listen. They have made a terribly big mistake and they will pay for it dearly today. Please give me a few minutes to fix the issue.” Fred said enthusiastically and ended the call. He too was seemingly angry, so angry that Nathan was a bit concerned about what he might do. Fred was the type of person who took things to the extreme. He believed in revenge and will not rest until he makes sure that his pokes his poker right in the brain. Nathan wasn’t the only person carrying that weight and entertaining that fury. Everyone was und
