****** That night, Alex was neither able to sleep nor cultivate.He just kept rolling and rolling on the bed with a busy mind as if there was something wrong with him. And before he knew it, it was already morning.Thankfully, he was already a cultivator, so he wasn’t affected at all by this lack of sleep and he didn’t even feel it in the leastAfter a long time had passed, he forced himself to stand up to go take his bath and prepare for school.“Good morning, master.”He heard Dami’s voice in the kitchen as he went there.“How was it last night? Were you able to confess the truth to Sister Jewel?”Hearing her, Alex took out a chair from the dining and sat on it, then with a sigh, he recounted what occurred last night to Dami, to her deep shock.Even after a while, Dami wasn’t able to react.“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that I feel like she already knew something?”Alex sighed heavily when he heard this.Just as the two were about to return to their deep thought, the
***** In one of the several but few seven-star restaurants in Potters City.This is a very famous restaurant known to almost everybody in Potters City for its high-class services, delicacies, and show-off.Well… although nothing about this restaurant could hold a candle behind the one in Crest Hotel, it was still a high-end place for the third-generation brats and above-average class people of the city.Like every other night, this restaurant is currently bustling with activities.In the private dining rooms within, all sorts of things were going on.Some people are celebrating birthday parties, some are celebrating a successful contract signing, some are doing meetings, some are trying to court girls, and so on.But like every other grand restaurant, this place also has that one special private room that couldn’t be accessed by just anybody even if one had the money, and in the private room right now, a bunch of nineteen and twenty years old plus boys and girls who were dres
***** At first, everybody simply became stomped for words to say when they saw this handsome young man.Some people even became confused as to who he was, because apart from his face being slightly familiar, nothing about him shows that he was a person they know.After a while, one of the organizers of this get-together suddenly stood up and hesitated for a while.“Are… are you Alex?”Everybody, “_”They suddenly eyed the person who had just asked the question as though he was a big fool.‘Class rep, have you gone blind now or what? How could you not recall that stupid pauper anymore and even compare him to this gentle sir here?”Someone laughed out in a joking manner to the dude that just questioned the newcomer.The moment everybody heard what this person said, they began to nod their heads and started making fun of the person who stood up.Hearing all this, the young man, who had invited Alex and even given Alex $50 a few weeks ago Immediately became embarrassed, and th
*****“Hahahaha, so you’re telling me that this is Alex, the beggar Alex we once knew in the past?”Still, inside the private dining hall, the person who just arrived, the brother Black could be seen gaggling crazily at the top of his lungs.Seeing him like this, nobody could react and just stared blankly at him, and this included Alex.Actually, the main target why Alex came here tonight all dressed up was this person laughing crazily before him.Although it wasn’t only this person, but almost everybody here, Alex could still recall how this person had treated and trashed him when they were still in high school.If Lean could be said to be Alex’s worst nightmare in college, this dude laughing crazily before Alex was his greatest and worst nightmare when they were in high school.Throughout Alex’s time there, a day had never gone by that he wasn’t frustrated, mocked, and beaten by this bully and his mate, so seeing him still laughing his ass off right now confused Alex greatly.
*****“You want me to be a carwash in your father’s car garage?”Alex who finally spoke after a long time was looking thunderstruck right now.He doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.A whole him; the future patriarch of the Johnson family and future leader of one of the immortal worlds?“Yes, what do you think?”Black nodded his head with a smug look on his face when he saw the smile on Alex’s face. He thought Alex was happy about his suggestion.As for everybody else, they began to gaze scornfully at Alex while cursing at him in their minds and blaming their luck for even knowing such a low-level person in the first place.As for Sarah.Although she had already expected most of the things that happened tonight, what she was currently witnessing and hearing were all out of her expectations, and to this, she was confused, astonished, and kinda nervous.‘Would he call those harmed forces again?’Her mind thought in slight anticipation and fear when suddenly, Alex uttered som
*****Still in the private booth.Right now, the place has become completely quiet with everybody gazing blankly at the second old man with fear and nervousness.Meanwhile, the same for the old man, he too was presently staring at the crowd, but with a slight nervousness on his face as if he was waiting for someone to speak.It was only Alex who was still watching everything casually and interestingly as if nothing that was happening there had a thing to do with him whatsoever.Just then, a groan sounded, making everybody’s heart shake because of its unexpectedness.Gazing at the source, everybody realized that it belonged to the young man who had been smacked away by Black the Other time.“Grandpa Second Protector, why are you talking shit with this trash of cans… I don’t want to see any one of them alive again.”Perhaps, he was only feigning it or that he was really hurt badly, looking at the young man at the moment, his face was so pale as if he had lost all blood, and he a
*****This time around, everybody was totally dumbfounded, and this included all the restaurant staff who had brought the middle-aged man to the VVIP hall, the two elderly men, the young men and woman behind him, and every single person in Alex’s group, including Black who couldn’t even react at all despite the excruciating pain killing him right now.If anything, it was only Alex who remained composed at the moment.Although he raised an eye at the middle-aged man’s change of attitude, it wasn’t shocking at all that the other party knew his identity.As for the young master of the Taritarus family, although he was spitting out blood from both nose, mouth, and skin right now, he also couldn’t react at all.Ever since he was born into this world, his father had always pampered him, and never before, not even slightly had he insulted him, not to talk of getting beaten by him.It didn’t matter whether he was in the wrong or right, his father would always take his side, and it was th
*****The instant this question was asked, everybody subconsciously raised their heads and glanced in unison at the person who was being questioned.As for the person being questioned, Sarah.The expression on her face which was of disappointment and self-reproach doesn’t change at all at the face of the question thrown at her.Rather, she also gazed at everybody for a while and then nodded her head.“None of you could even imagine the height he has reached now. He could have you all and your families included destroyed with just a single phone call from him.”After speaking this as if it was nothing but a fact, Sarah sighed heavily and also picked up her bag, then giving everybody a final glance, she also walked away, her heart and mind very heavy while her eyes began to wipe out tears.Once Sarah was gone, everybody began to exchange blank gazes, unable to make any sense of what had just happened tonight.‘The Taritarus family is scared of the pauper Alex?’They were filled
