***** ’This atmosphere is several times even more tense than when I was in the car with Uncle Lewis yesterday.’ Presently inside the car that was moving at neither a top nor low pace, Ares couldn’t help but suddenly shiver as he thought in his mind. Initially, he had assumed that Olivia was also a cultivator due to the aura she was releasing, but a little check made him know otherwise. To lighten the mood, Ares had attempted to start a conversation with her numerous times, but the tense atmosphere in the car made him shut his mouth each time. Just as he felt like he would be suffocated to death by the oppressive atmosphere despite his insane strength, a chilling voice pierced his ears. “Why didn’t you follow through with the plan? It was another one of your schemes to use me to fend off those people for you?” “Huh?” Ares’s mouth opened. Of course, he understood Olivia’s first question, but the second one, no. Before he could ask questions, however, a look of understanding appea
*****“Here,” Michael suddenly removed a thousand dollar bill from the money he was just given and offered it to the cashier.Harper was confused, as she had never been given a tip this much before, but she still accepted the cash.“This broke-ass pauper is nothing but a sore to my eyes. I want him out of here unattended to.”“This…”The cashier’s mouth opened, but then she beamed happily. “Done!” She said and then shifted her gaze to Ares, while Sarah instantly mourned the money handed to the cashier. She felt discontented but soon directed a glare at Ares as she felt that he was the cause.“You fucking loser, why can’t you just accept that you have already lost woefully and leave this town for me, anyway? Better still, you might as well just end your miserable life, because I don’t understand what someone as poor as you is still doing on earth where only people like my fiancée, who have more than three million dollars in his bank account deserve to live .”She spat, then drag
*****“This…”Everyone felt bewildered by the voice, which emanated both intense fear and a notable level of rage, prompting them to quickly look toward its origin.The following moment, all the bank staff members jumped to their feet and respectful looks replaced the bewildered expressions on their faces, Harper’s as well. “Manager!” They bent their heads slightly in greeting.As though he didn’t see these people, however, Manager Tom, a well-fitted middle-aged man ignored them all and continued rushing.The entire group became even more perplexed. Then, to their greatest shock and disbelief, Tom, a typically arrogant manager, suddenly dropped to his knees before Ares and bowed his head deeply in his direction, appearing extremely frightened. "Young master, please forgive me for my incompetence. I deeply apologize for the mistreatment you had to experience at the bank under my management."“This…”All faces changed greatly and all mouths became opened widely, looking as th
*****Inside the bank, apart from Harper who was flabbergasted and unable to return to her senses again, Manager Tom was sobbing hysterically in his mind at the moment.‘How could I have underestimated someone whom Master Robert addresses as a young master?! Now, the young master is furious at the bank and wants to empty his account.‘If regret was a meal, Manager Tom had already eaten the size of the tallest skyscraper in the world right now.Manager Tom fearfully gazed back at Ares and his heart pounded even more.“Young… young master, how… how much did you say you wish to withdraw?” He inquired, his voice now overfilled with respect as he hoped upon hope in his mind that Ares would change his mind.Ares, however, having no idea about what the manager was thinking contemplated for a moment, then he responded. “Everything.”He also gazed hopefully at manager Tom, hoping that the small token given to him by his uncle, Lewis would be enough to buy some first meeting presents for
*****After leaving the bank, although Ares did his best to act calmly and behave like everything was normal, he failed woefully.His mind was in a nonstop great turmoil and disbelief, to the extent that he constantly forgot himself, while deeply wondering whether he had seen the right figures in the account balance of the card given to him, which was supposedly meant to only have a small token in it.Although Master Lewis had informed him the day before that his organization was the wealthiest in the world, possessing all the money of the world at its disposal, Ares had not fully grasped the significance of his words at the time.After a long time, he eventually managed to return to his senses, then as though the card had become the most precious treasure of his life, Ares created several layers of protection around it within his pocket using his Qi energy. As if that was not enough, Ares, still uncomfortable about carrying a card holding a trillion dollars in it, ended up reso
***** “You want my daughter to marry a nobody who does not even have any fame or reputation in the world? Never! I would rather die than accept that.” A beautiful middle-aged woman who was seated on a couch declared fiercely as soon as Ares entered, apparently communicating to herself while seething with a visible rage. "Honey," Smith called out, acting as though he was oblivious to his wife's words, prompting her to slowly lift her head in response. “Who sent the package?” She inquired coldly, but in the following moment, she noticed the stranger, Ares. “Why did you let the delivery person into my house?” She looked away from Ares and shot her husband a disapproving glare. Smith, hearing his wife, however directly offer a wry smile before he felt a sudden headache creeping in. Even though they had envisioned Ares's appearance numerous times, they had never pictured him like this, sweating heavily in worn-out clothes which was why Smith did not blame his wife for also failing to
*****‘Me? Offer me $1,000,000 to make me stay married with her for a month?’Ares’s mouth was widely opened at this moment as he gaped at Olivia, hearing her words. He didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry.‘Does this woman even have the idea that I can give one million people that amount of money she wished to hire me with?’ He was deeply perplexed.Meanwhile, both Ava and Smith also continued gaping speechlessly at their daughter for a long time, wondering what she was doing. Finally, Ava couldn’t control herself again.“Argh!!! You brat, are you trying to make me go insane?!! Did you not just hear me saying that you will never marry this poor boy? How dare you now offer to even pay him such a massive amount of money I’m certain he had never dreamed of having in his life to marry you?”Although she had been furious right from the onset of all this, the level of her rage was so much right now that her breathing was already incredibly fast, trying to keep herself from burs
*****“Is something the matter?” Observing Olivia, who seemed lost in her thoughts to the point of nearly causing several accidents, Ares, after much hesitation, finally spoke up gently, unable to hold back any longer.As soon as Olivia heard his voice, which broke the silence within the car, she turned her eyes slightly to look at him, but then she ignored him.Ares, knowing well that something was the matter, most especially after seeing the little scene in Olivia’s house did not want to give up.He wants to help Olivia, and there is no other reason for this than because he feels he must take all the responsibilities for her now that he has taken her virginity.“Why don’t you share it with me if I can help?”“You?”Olivia instantly became irritated when she realized that the stranger, Ares was not giving up.She immediately gave him a displeased and contemptuous gaze, hearing his words.“If you had the type of help I need, you would not have stooped so low to get me drunk
