2025-01-07 20:25:38Adrian walked out of the School Board of Judges' presence with his pride restored. Although he was unable to prove the terrible allegations as vile and false, he was able to give them something to think about.
He enjoyed watching their faces go blue, especially Donald McMahon, he nearly lost his balance in shock. Teresa looked as if she had seen a ghost, she could not speak another word till Adrian walked out in all calmness. Their eyes followed him all the way out and he could still feel their stares on his back as he left the premises for a closure to the day. "Hey!!" He heard rushed footsteps calling behind him. Turning around, Adrian was not suprised to see his ex girlfriend. Teresa stopped right in front of him, running out of breathe. "What did you do back there?" She managed to find her lungs again. "What? I just paid my bills like a man should. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Her eyes darkened in annoyance. It was as if he struck her ego unknowingly. Her brows curled in a frown. "I know you can't afford that sum of money. You have no money! Did you steal it?" "What? Are you gonna accuse me of theft now? I'm done here." He walked past her without caring. He was not going to stand there and take her insults all over again. "Wait..." She struggled to block his path again, stretching both arms of hers. "What now?" "Are you a secret rich kid?" Her lips parted fast as she glared him suspiciously. "What does that even mean?" "Rich kids who pretend to be poor so they can find true love? Is that what you did? You lied to me for three years?" She seemed to be scared right now, as if she was losing a treasure she had found. "Well, what can I say?" Adrian was ready to pull her strings further. "You seem to have failed the test woefully." "But I didn't know..." Her voice grew thinner. Back in front of the panel, she was all domineering. Now she sounded like a little child who wanted to gain sympathy. "I would have done better if I did. You can give me a second chance, you know... And then..." "And then what about Ricardo?" Adrian was disgusted at what I heard. How could she be so cheap? All these while, he thought he was dating a lady of class, he never knew she was so petty. No shame, no sense of honour. "Well, Ricardo spends on me. If you can spend more... I can help you out of this mess. I can even testify for you. You see, I love you more than I like him. I just thought you were broke..." At this point, he had no more reason to talk to her. He had seen so much of her that he never knew existed. She even dared to use his family background to make fun of him back in there, why would he ever trust her again? "Get out of my way." He said calmly, enjoying the control he was having right now. Every single word he said affected her. "But... Wait..." "Get out!" In shivers, Teresa flew away as Adrian came forward. As he walked away, he had a gentle smile on his lips. Even though he would be taking the long walk back home, he still had enough reason to be satisfied with himself today. He had no more money, everything had gone into the school's account but that shouldn't be a problem. All he needed to do was to complete more missions with the system, then he would make more money. He remembered that he also received ten character points alongside the one million dollar reward, wonder what those points were useful for. "Hey system, why did you not respond earlier?" "The system will not always be present with the host. There will be a random period everyday when the system would go offline. The host must learn not to completely depend on the system to get answers. The system will always be present during the course of a mission and give instructions except in particular instances. To establish permanent contact with the chosen heir system, the host must upgrade their level. At the God Status, the host will be in full control of the system. You are still an anchor, you have a long way to go." Was that so? Adrian couldn't wait to be a god then. He really needed to start completing new missions. "Tell me, what is my next mission?" "There are two kinds of mission, filler missions and special missions. Your last mission was a special mission. Now there are no special missions available, thus you will be assigned a filler mission." "And what is this filler mission?" "Face slapping. Your landlady and her son are waiting for you. They plan to chase you out today. Would you like to know a secret or a prediction about your landlady?" "A secret this time." Adrian chose to be told a prediction the night before. Of course he wanted a secret now. Afterall, he could not imagine the several many dark secrets the landlady would be keeping. The idea of blackmailing her did not seem so harsh. Afterall she had never been a good person to anyone. For three years, she had only increased the exorbitant price of her house, way above its true value. She loved money so much. With all the terrible things he had seen her do in the name of money, he couldn't wait to find out what the secret was. "Secret: Your landlady owes your family a huge sum of money. In 2004, she begged your father's personal assistant on her knees for a loan which she used to build her house. She never paid back." Adrian was stunned. His family? A loan? He didn't know much about his father, but he couldn't ever guess he used to have a personal assistant not to talk of the kind of riches the system was suggesting. "Are you saying I come from a rich family? My father was a billionaire?" Maybe Teresa was not so far from the truth afterall. "Your family's riches collapsed a long time ago. That is all I can reveal for now. Meanwhile, ask your landlady about the SILVER DROP loan. She will understand at once." In an instant, Adrian hurried his pace towards home. Walking past the pedestrians, he couldn't wait to ask Mrs Huddersfield about it. Soon he was standing right in front of Mrs Huddersfield's huge building. It was a huge mansion divided into many small flats for tenants, she lived alone in the biggest part of the house. She had always treated Adrian like dirt so to think that all of these came from his family's riches afterall.. was crazy. As much as Adrian didn't know anything about mother, he knew she abandoned him as a child and his foster mother picked him up. His father, however, he did not know anything about him. Maybe the answer was standing right in front of me all along. Mrs Huddersfield might know something, and he was eager to find out. As he placed a hand on the door knuckle, a beam played loudly in his head. "Alarm! Alarm!" A red screen appeared, danger was glaring. "Emergency! You have been assigned a new mission! A special mission! Prediction: Lyana Rodriguez will be murdered in the next five minutes! It is up to you to save her... Again!"

Adrian's head banged loud at the urgency of the situation. He had to save Ricardo's sister again? He already saved her life last night? Why was her life already in danger again? Now he had to abandon the search for his father?"It is your choice, Adrian. Do you want to continue with the filler mission, or you would like to take on this one instead? You have four minutes left."He really wanted to find out about his father, but the thought of Lyana dying after what he went through last night to save her was not good. He needed to save her again. Afterall he could come back and do this later."Wh... Where is she? At the hospital?"The map appeared. "No, Adrian. She appears to be in a vehicle on her way home from the hospital. For some reason, she was discharged today under untold circumstances."Adrian checked the map. Lyana's vehicle was driving across the Stephanie Lane Bridge Pass. That was way on the other side of town, there was no way he could get there in four minutes."But I ca

"Luck?" James Halton smirked. "You see, Mr Blood. Here's one thing about me: I don't believe in luck. You came by the hospital the other day too and you knew exactly what was going to happen to Miss Lyana and just how to prevent it. That is not luck. It is something else. Is there something you don't want to reveal to us?"It looked like he was getting suspicions now. Adrian couldn't stand there for any more minute."Mr Blood has gone through so much today trying to save me." Lyana interrupted. "Surely you can discuss this later, James.""Oh I'm sorry, Miss Lyana." He extended his handshake. "We will talk later, Mr Blood. I have to tidy things up here."As he walked away, Lyana apologized for James Halton's crudeness."Mr Halton has been assigned to protect me since when I was a little girl, it is only natural for him to be a little over defensive.""No problem." Adrian responded, ready to leave."Wait," she held him back. "My father is hosting a grand dinner tonight in celebration of

Adrian walked into the store with a confidence that touched the skies. He approached the store handler who kept her gaze away at once, wearing an expression of disgust."What do you want?" She sighed when she realised Adrian had stopped in front of her. Adrian recognized her too. She was the one who sold the gift box to her on valentine's day. When he had come to purchase a very cheap gift for his girlfriend in this massively elegant store and everyone scorned him, she was the only one who was warm to him. How come she was so cold now?"There is nothing for you to buy here. We don't sell your cheap items anymore." She cursed sharply, eyeing him from head to toe."I am not here to buy cheap items." Adrian responded in kind. He was no longer unsure of himself like he used to be. He was now going to be the wealthiest man in the world no matter the circumstances, a simple store handler was nothing to push him around."I want the most expensive collection of outfits you have ever held in t

"Let us make this a little bit more interesting." Trevor smiled with evil. "The person who wins this game gets to walk on a human carpet as the loser will lie face flat on the floor. Do you agree?"Adrian could see how confident Trevor was. It was so much interesting this way."Deal." Adrian agreed, knowing Trevor would regret this idea soon enough.And so the game began.Everything Adrian picked was special and super expensive. For each expensive item Trevor selected, Adrian only went for something more expensive. He knew all his purchases had already been covered no matter how much the items were. All he had to was give his card and confirm the purchase. Even if he bought every single thing in this huge megastore, he would still walk out as a free man.

"It doesn't seem you are getting any money from your family, Trevor. Why not just do as promised and let us all go on our way? Everyone is waiting." The night was going so well for Adrian. This was the best revenge so far.Everyone around had brought out their phones to record. Adrian remembered just a few nights ago when Trevor had been the one recording. He was the main instigator who urged Ricardo Rodriguez on to humiliate Adrian completely. For so many years, Trevor had tried to make friends with Ricardo but he was out of his league. So he supported anything the Italian kid did especially when it came to the oppression of the less privileged. This would only be a taste of his own medicine."No... No... I can't do this..."Trevor looked around, security was here. Every customer in the shop had their cameras out for a live stream. They wanted to see him flat on the floor so he could be walked on."Be fast and do it, you were the one who made the rules, remember?" Someone said."We a

As Love Morgan instructed, Trevor was bundled away carelessly like a sack of salt. His tears filled the floor where he had been the carpet. As Trevor was removed from the facility, he promised himself that he would revenge this insult. That he would call retribution for this disgrace somehow in the future. "And someone clean this place up!" Love commanded. She pointed to Maggie and Carlton. "Both of you! And you must do it with your bodies if you still want to have your jobs!" "Right away, ma'am!" The two went to the floor immediately as instructed, rolling over the make sure the filth would disappear. "And you must make sure it is sparkling white!" Love Morgan was not a joker.

Billy gasped for breathe as Adrian raised him off the ground against the wall, struggling for breath.Madam Huddersfield was hitting Adrian from the back, asking him to let her son go. But her slaps meant nothing to Adrian, he didn't even feel them. Even though some of the other tenants were around, witnessing the scene, nobody bothered to interfere.

If he was not Peter, then what is to say that Jorja was really Jorja. The men in black found them. "Hand over the girl, Elias. We will take it from here."Elias frowned and smirked.

In the middle of the cold street, not far from the partying house and its doctored guests, an old friend sat in the comfort of the limousine and conversed with the troubled mouthpiece of the inner circle."Chairman Rodriguez has asked for your help." James Halton said. "He sees you are the best person who can see this storm to an end. He promises to reward you abundantly if you help him this time."His companion sighed. "Many years ago, I gave up on the life of riches. Federico Rodriguez knows that I do not care about his wealth. I was chosen by the deeper circle for a reason, and it did not include wealth."James Halton sighed. He could not speak out of turn in front of this person, but he needed to secure a deal. That was why the chairman had sent him this far."Why hasn't Federico come to see me himself?" The figure continued. "Him and Astana, they are making things ugly in Ravendale.

"What is he doing here?" Helena turned to Jorja, though her voice did not do justice to the volume of her thoughts. Jorja did not hear her, but as if she did, she marvelled over the beautiful sight of the two lovebirds."Jacob is one of our very special friends." She said. "He is a very smart and very determined young man.""And very treacherous too." Helena thought. If only Jorja knew what Jacob had done to her. How he had colluded with evil men to throw her into an eternal world of oblivion. The very sight of him made her cringe. There was nothing she could do. She would just rather walk away, taking delight in the more interesting and less poisonous things at the party.As soon as Helena walked forward, away from Jacob's gaze and away from Jorja's guide, Peter pulled back his wife to have a conversation.

A man stood in front of them, several feet tall. He was made of bulging muscles and his chest peeped beneath his shirt, barely covered by the extravagance of the suit. Adrian recognised him at once."Grenade." Adrian called, pointing at the man. He was one the specially trained security goons he had hired to protect his family. "You are the one I put in charge. Where is everybody? Where is my sister and my uncle?"Grenade sighed. "I am sorry, boss. I tried to warn her but the little mistress would not listen.""What are you talking about?" Adrian hated how this was sounding, where it might be heading. When people put in charge of dire responsibility make these kinds of apologies, it did not put the mind at rest."Your sister is safe." The man continued, much to Adrian's relief. "Then where is she?""She dismissed every single one of us and allowed only I to stay behind and guard the house.

We have enslaved the masses and we have collaborated with their leaders. True power has been with us more than anything ever seen. Yet these days, we have looked so weak to the outside world, and disrespect is beginning to set in".Some would say that his complaint was no fault of anyone else but his own family. It was his daughter who submitted herself to a lucky gambler and set the internet on fire. It was not them or their families. If anyone had truly made a joke of this association, it was Federico Rodriguez himself."Yet our biggest problem yet is not these side distractions. No. Our biggest problem is Sebastian Waters legacy". He left the space for silence and what followed was disgruntled murmurs from the associates. They were tired of hearing this name already, a

The men shared strange looks with their boss. Elias followed with that same old loud laughter that Jacob hated so much, and he was aided by his men."Whatever you wanna say, boy, you are saying it here. To me."

Jacob was left devastated as he sat by himself in the same bar where he had lost all his money. No, he did not lose it. He won everything there was to win yet those losers accused him of cheating so they could deny him of his reward. Even though James Halton had commanded them to return him everything, they only pretended to listen to him. All they gave was a few bucks and asked him to get lost."I worked hard for that money. I am not leaving this place without my own money at least." He vowed to himself. He remembered how he had to deceive Helena so he could make that money. He still blamed himself for betraying his own girlfriend, but that was what he had to do to make some money. Helena herself was naive and stupid. If she had listened to her troublesome brother, maybe she would not be in that situation. Jacob wondered what had become of her.
