2025-03-20 00:35:04The energy spread rapidly across Devin's entire body, and with a charging cry, Devin pushed the man off him while a shockwave of blue energy exploded.
The others gasped in shock when they saw that the wounds on Devin's body were healing! And the low guttural growl that escaped Devin's lips made their knees buckle.
What the fucking hell! In an instant, everyone started to flee. The person left behind went weak all over, dropped to his knees with a thud, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy from Devin.
But Devin just stepped past him and walked towards the door with firm steps.
Before leaving, Devin looked back. He took a deep breath, there was nothing left for him there anymore.And now, Devin had to start all over.
He trudged along the street, a sudden gust of wind shifted his attention.
Overhead, three S- grade military helicopters hovered. One of them, the most decorated, shone its light directly on Devin.
Devin squinted his eyes to avoid the excessive light as traffic suddenly developed. One of the helicopters landed right there on the streets!
Cars pulled over, pedestrians stopped, and everyone took out their phones to record the mysterious event. A second helicopter landed as well, and six tough-looking men dressed in black suits stepped down, approaching Devin.
Finally, the third helicopter, the grandest, landed. Devin watched closely as a beautiful lady stepped down from the helicopter, wearing a silver dress, black heels, and neatly braided hair.
“Isn’t that Yvonne Hall?” Devin heard someone gasp.
“Of course! She's the richest Tycoon in the city. What is she doing here?” Another person whispered as well.
Devin watched closely as Yvonne approached him with a gentle smile on her face.
Suddenly, she fell on her knees before him and bowed her head. People gasped and murmured as they recorded the shocking scene.
“Young master. Our master requests your audience,” Yvonne's serene voice stated.
And all eyes fell on Devin.
“Who is he?”
“Even Yvonne Hall kneels before him!”
Multiple murmurs erupted.
“You have the wrong person,” Devin gently stated. It couldn't be him.
His mother raised him alone in poverty, and he's never known anyone of affluence.
Yvonne stood on her feet and gazed at him, comforting herself before him.
“You're Devin Stone, the son of Grace Stone. We did not make any mistake, young master. Please, come with us,” she said to him in an almost hushed voice.
Seeing as he was outnumbered, Devin sighed and followed her while she headed to the helicopter. He was curious to know more about the situation.
And apparently, so were the people who witnessed the event, for while the helicopters departed, YouTube was filled with images and videos of a “mysterious billionaire magnate” who had even Yvonne Hall on her knees!
“Where are we going?” Devin asked Yvonne while they departed.
“Home,” she replied with a smile.
The helicopter flew toward the Eastern part of the city where the richest folks of all lived. Devin watched as the helicopter flew past the biggest buildings he knew in the city- the five-star hotels and expensive restaurants- and suddenly, they weren't so big anymore.
And more than once, he caught Yvonne shooting glances at him. Whenever he looked at her, Yvonne would quickly look away as her cheeks flushed.
Underneath the ragged hair and the worn-out clothes, Yvonne could see that Devin was a 6’3 foot super attractive guy who could easily pass for 'Sexiest Man of the Year!’
“He must have a lot of women falling for him,” Yvonne thought to herself.
The helicopter ascended to the ‘Le Grande’ pinnacle villa in an ultra-exclusive district—where only the top 20 elites, judged by wealth and power, resided. Height equals status here.
Devin's lips parted a bit while he took in the magnificent view. Not even the governor of the city could come to the district without invitation. It was so grand that common folks nicknamed it the ‘Heaven for the rich.’
The helicopters landed in an open green field inside a compound that looked like a god crafted it. As soon as Devin stepped down, a legion of attendants rushed to greet him.
Devin was taken aback by this.
At the forefront stood Henry Blake, the richest man in the Nation. Yvonne led Devin to Henry, who shook Devin's hand.“It's an honor to finally meet you face to face young master. You have your mother's eyes,” he commented while Devin nodded, unsure of how to respond.
“He's expecting the young master. Hurry now,” Henry said to Yvonne who nodded and led Devin inside the Victorian building.
Inside, Devin spotted other figures in black.They were all Forbes-listed magnates. Their eyes fell on him and hushed whispers followed.
Just then, an aide wheeled forward an elderly man in a wheelchair. Devin settled his eyes on the man who looked strangely familiar.
The crowd bowed in unison and thunderously chanted: “Hail the Master!”
The elderly man settled his keen eyes on Devin, and when they suddenly warmed with tears, Devin frowned in surprise.What was going on?

“It's been way too long, my dearest grandson,” the old man said to Devin and stretched forth his hand to him. Devin looked around, puzzled, and slowly approached the old man while everyone else watched. When he was close enough, his grandfather took his hand and pulled him into an embrace. “How I wish your mother was alive to see this. She fought so hard for this moment,” the older man's breath shuddered as Devin pulled away from the hug. “I don't understand, sir. My mother never mentioned anything about family. So, I'm finding it difficult to trust you,” Devin told him. His grandfather chuckled while he gazed at him from head down. “Bold and fearless. Just like your mother,” the old man stated and then turned his head to a guard standing almost inconspicuously in the background. He was bald and had a vertical scar that extended from his right brow to his right cheek. The guard nodded back at the old man and approached Devin with a DNA result. The bald guard handed the result ov

“You fucking bastard. What the hell are you doing here?” She snapped at Devin. “Did you come here to beg after causing a scene earlier? How dare you raise your filthy hands on my daughter and her deserving man?” She yelled at Devin. “Come on, you mean those two bitches?!” Devin calmly stated but was quickly interrupted by Sera. “You fucking clingy pest! Amanda must've been out of her goddamn mind to keep your ass around for so long. You should be on your knees thanking us for not letting you croak from hunger on the street. ” She walked closer to him, her anger palpable. “What the hell makes you think you can come here and harass us?” Sera glared at Devin furiously. If he dared to take even a single step forward, she'd make sure he'd regret it big time! “Madam, watch your words! It was Amanda who cheated on me! I'm the goddamn victim here!” Devin was at a loss for words. “Bullshit! Why the fuck can't she cheat?“ “You were just a pest in her life! A stigma to this family!“

“Holy shit! You dare raise your hands on me?” Jim gasped in shock as he staggered back from Devin's slap. His ears were still ringing from the impact. “I'll teach you a fucking lesson!” he yelled at Devin and hurled at him, but Devin picked him up and slammed him on the ground. "Get the hell away from my son!" Sera rushed forward and helped her son, who was sitting on the ground, to his feet. The heartache in her eyes condensed into a long spear, and in the next second, she was ready to impale Devin to pieces. And in fact, she did just that with words. “You're a mother-begotten, father - a forsaken piece of trash!” “Your mom should've croaked with you in her belly!” Devin gritted his teeth. “Sera. Give me that necklace!” “Or what? What will you do about it, Devin? Beat me up too? Come on! I fucking dare you!” Sera screamed at Devin and took a step closer to him. Devin was gasping for breath. He didn't want to hit a woman, but Sera, what she was doing right now was

“No. Do not waste your time with that pitiful excuse of a man. The dog has returned to the streets. Let him stay there,” Amanda's eyes darkened as Sera held her back. “But mother… he assaulted you. I want to see him kneel before you, begging you in tears as he leaks your shoes!” Amanda shot back. She forced her hands into Luther's who just stood there, glaring at them all. "The most urgent thing right now is to finalize your marriage with Luther," Sera said, her voice laced with a sense of urgency. "We need to make that stupid Devin give up. If he sees you're out of reach, he'll reconsider creating such a scene next time." "Devin even even rented a car at great cost when he came today. A Porsche. The bastard is just bitter…” Jim snickered. “We can't let him succeed. He just wants to mess up your wedding!" Jim sneered and tried to laugh, but the pain made him stop. “Now that I think about it, you're right. Perhaps he just wants attention to see if I'll reconsider him. Ha! He's

As Devin's Porsche caroused into the underground garage of the Le Grande villa, several guests trooped into the large, square-shaped auditorium mounted just beside the mansion. It was Amanda and Luther's wedding, barely three days after she broke up with Devin. “Why won't this damn car start? I have to drive out to get something for my daughter!” Devin heard Sera's voice as he stepped down from the Porsche. Her back was turned to him but he couldn't miss the croaking sound of her voice. “Are you sure you know what the fuck you're doing? Top shot mechanic my ass! If you were so good, this car would be working by now!” She snapped at the gentleman who was fixing the car for her. Devin sighed while he gazed at them. As he didn't want to interfere, he proceeded to walk to his mansion. But Sera turned around, saw him, and scoffed. “ Devin? My God! What the fuck are you doing here? You really have no shame! ” Sera snapped as she approached him, clapping her hands in exaggeration. D

"No way, you still haven't gotten over Amanda? Are you going to go in front of her and cry and beg for forgiveness?" Luther laughed and sized up Devin with a playful look in his eyes. "Actually, it's not impossible for you to see her if you really insist." "Enough!" Devin interrupted him. "I'm not here for her. I'm going home!" Luther burst out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. "You're still being stubborn, aren't you?" "Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you meet Amanda." He ordered the bodyguards to take Devin inside. Devin sighed. "You know what? If I go in, your wedding is going to be ruined for sure." "Really? What, are you going to mooch off the food and starve everyone else to death?" "Take him in!" Luther lost all his patience and commanded the bodyguards viciously to drag Devin in. But when they were met with Devin's cold stare, they somehow didn't dare to lay a hand on him. "You asked for this," Devin sneered, and then strode in

Amanda dragged her wedding dress along as she approached Devin, her face twisted with anger. “Have you come to ruin my big day? Why are you doing this to me?” Amanda cried out. “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Just because I upgraded from your pathetic ass?” She screamed at him. “Seriously? Upgrade to marrying a man old enough to be your dad?” Devin said to her face, and she scoffed. “Who is this man to the bride?” “How do they know each other?” “Shut your fucking mouth! This is the last time you raise your hands on my family!” Amanda screamed at Devin who scoffed. “I never wanted to be here anyways. Have a great wedding,” Devin said with sarcasm, and turned to leave, but Amanda suddenly blocked his path. "Kneel down and apologize! Otherwise, I won't let you walk out of here alive, you son of a bitch!" Amanda yelled at Devin who laughed at her words. “You are digging your own fucking grave!” Devin shot back at her. Amanda flushed with anger. Just as she was about

“Who dares to cause trouble in my territory?” Yvonne Hall's voice boomed as her bodyguards encircled the auditorium, holding their rifles close to their chests. Luther's lips parted in surprise when he saw Yvonne. “Yvonne’s the richest person in New York. Did my lie about us being close just manifest into reality?” he snickered. “If she's here to greet me, I must take advantage of this,” Luther thought to himself. With a smile and egoistic chuckle escaping his lips, Luther took steady steps towards Yvonne, stretching his hands as if to give her a hug. The guests who immediately recognized Yvonne murmured amongst themselves, "I didn't really expect Luther to have such a relationship with Yvonne..." "Yeah! I know right? Luther is simply amazing. He keeps surprising us!" When Sera heard the whispers, she beamed with pride while Luther approached Yvonne. “My daughter's really marrying a capable man!” Sera thought to herself, smiling even wider as Jim snug close to he

“Petra Knight. This is a pleasant surprise,” Devin said as he picked up his phone. He just stepped out of the police station to review any case files regarding the egg.“Really? Weren't you at least curious to hear my voice again?” She asked him in a flirtatious voice.“Have you forgotten that we are betrothed?” She asked again and Devin sighed.“I thought we were past that now,” he said and got into his car.“I don't think we will ever be past that, Devin. You've impressed me. And I'm not easily impressed,” she said.“Look, Petra. You are a lovely lady. Beautiful, successful, and simply amazing. But I am in love with someone else. And I don't want to break up with her,” Devin told her but Petra scoffed.“Spend a night with me first and you'll see I'm really worth the shot,” she propositioned. Devin's lips curled into a smile.“I'm not doing that. Why did you really call me, Petra?” He asked her. By that time, his car came to a stop in the traffic. His fingers tapped the steering ligh

The prison door buzzed and Luther walked through to the phone booth. His eyes lit up with intrigue when he saw the visitor he had that afternoon, a person he never thought he'd see.“Well well, who do we have here? Did the wind blow you into this place or something?” He chuckled as he took his seat.Vera smirked, gracefully picking up the telephone. “It is good to see you, husband. They're not treating you as badly as I would have hoped. By now, I expected you to be nothing more than bones and sores,” she said with a bright smile on her face.“Yeah, bitch? Well, lucky for me, I did what I always do. Played my cards right. You know, when you're finally in prison, you might want to try that,” Luther replied to her with a smirk.Vera chuckled, brushing the hair off her face. “This is your space, Luther. Enjoy it. I can never be in there with you,” she told him and leaned back.Luther's smile faded slowly. “So, why the fuck have you come? I didn't see you at my trial. You refused to send

“Ma'am! I didn't see you coming,” the assistant said to Vera who still held her hand in the mid-air, clenching it tight.“Is this how you go about harassing people just because you work for me?” Vera asked her, but the assistant muttered.“No, ma'am. It's not what you think. The fucker started it!” The assistant accused but Vera pushed her hand off.The assistant staggered back and nearly fell. “And now you're still fucking lying to me? How daft do you think I am?” Vera yelled at her.“Apologize to him. Now!” She added.The assistant baited her eye, glancing at Devin.“But ma'am, he should be the one to apologise. He even said hurtful things to me,” the assistant argued but Vera cut her off.“Apologize or you lose your fucking job!” She yelled at the assistant. Terrified of losing her job, the assistant bowed her head before Devin.“I'm sorry for what happened, sir. It will not repeat itself,” she said but Vera frowned.“Apologize on your knees,” she said to the assistant who gasped.

“What is it?” Luther asked her. Lila sighed while she quickly looked for a place to park her car.“Are you interested in making an investment? I promise it'll give back everything you've ever lost!” She said to him.“What sort of investment?” “An egg. Rumour has it the egg has magic. Apparently, there are people in our world called cultivators and the egg can grant them a boost in their powers,” Lila explained.On the other side of the phone, Luther's eyes opened wide while he listened to her explaining.“If it's true, and I can gift this egg to King Viper, then I'll be able to get him to do anything for me in the Future,” he thought to himself.“How much are we talking about?” He asked her.“Well, millions… but that is not even the issue right now. The museum where we stole, well, took it from, they're looking for the egg.”“And they've asked Devin to find it,” she added.Luther frowned when she mentioned Devin's name.

It's not the first time she's humiliated herself like this.”“Isn't she the shameless bride that got kicked out of her own wedding?”More and more comments followed, and Amanda gave Lila the phone.“I should have them take this down. How dare they!” Lila pouted, and she looked at Amanda with a conceited heart. “I mean, they're saying all these nasty things about you. We have to stop this,” Lila said again. “Don't bother. It won't change anything,” Amanda replied to her and drank from the bottle of gin in her hand. Lila looked pleased to see Amanda so fucked up, but she pretended like she cared.She sat down beside Amanda and gently touched her hair, kissing her.“

“I didn't bring her in here. She came here by herself,” Devin stated while looking at Mr Simon.“Liar! Fucking liar! Even now that he's caught, he's still lying. Just confess your indiscipline and disrespect to Mr Simon. Fall on your knees and ask for forgiveness,” Mr Taylor yelled again.“Why should I when I'm innocent?” Devin asked Mr Taylor and crossed his arms. By that time, Miriam had covered herself with the cloak again, and she was waiting by the sofa.“Devin, did you really bring her here to sleep with her?” Mr Simon asked Devin.“No, I didn't. That's her. You can ask her,” he replied calmly.“He's not even sorry for what he did. Disrespecting a top shot like Mr Simon is an offense that deserves a beating. You should be ashamed of yourself!” Mr Taylor accused further.“How's the nose? Seems it's better now that you're running your mouth!” He said to Mr Taylor who gritted his teeth.And then, Mr Simon turned to Miriam.“I want you to tell me the truth. Did Devin call for your a

Who let you in here?” Mr Taylor yelled at Devin as soon as he stepped into the five-star hotel with lots of beautiful lighting and furniture.Devin had returned to the hotel that night to see Simon and while he admitted the tapestry of the building, Mr Taylor showed up.“I'm fucking talking to you. You can't come in here without an invitation. Did you fucking cheat your way into this hotel?” He yelled again.Devin didn't want to waste any words on him. He was silent while Mr Taylor kept speaking.“I should get the security men to drag your lazy ass out of here. Deceiving people and thieving is a character we do not appreciate in this place!” He added.But Devin, completely unfazed by his threats, walked closer to the receptionist in the lobby.“Hey! Get back here. I'm talking to you, fuckface!” Mr Taylor yelled again. She gave Devin a kind smile while her eyes darted from him to Mr Taylor. Devin could see that he made her uncomfortable.“How may I hel

“He shouldn't have taken the deal. Now he's going to be humiliated,” “Yes! He should have gone to prison with what's left of his integrity,”“What if he has no integrity. He's a shameless thief without abilities, remember? What can he do?”Devin heard the whispers as he approached the convulsing man. He knelt beside him and stretched forth his hand.He could see the red weaves surrounding the man, the way they shone and fluttered.The man was losing the fight.“Devin, you don't have to do this. Just wait for the ambulance to get here,” Lizzy said to him.“He'll be dead by the time they get here. I have to act now,” Devin replied to her. He placed both hands on Simon's body and closed his eyes, allowing his energy to siphon into Simon.At first, nothing happened. Simon kept convulsing. And then, all of a sudden, he let out a cry like a roar and fainted.“D-did you just fucking kill him? Oh my God!

“Oh, now the fucker's getting on my nerves!” Mr Taylor said in both anger and bewilderment. Lizzy, determined to this done and over with, imputed the ten million dollars in the computer.“You have guts. I must say. When this is over, and you're drooling in your shame, maybe I'll consider giving you a job as a cleaner in my company, just to help out your miserable, dreamful life,” Mr. Taylor told Devin.Devin didn't want to waste any more words with him. He kept quiet as Lizzy carried out the transaction. Then she called him for his pin and he imputed it.With skepticism, she pressed the ‘done’ button. And she barely even initiated the transaction when she got the notification.'Congratulations! Payment of ten million dollars successfully completed!’Lizzy froze on the spot when she saw the notification. Her eyes darted from the computer screen to Devin, who stood there with his arms crossed.“Ha! The transaction was an epic failure, wasn't it? I knew it! Now this useless brat will be
