The wave of shock that travelled across the hall was so unprecedented. All eyes went from the large screen to Achiel. Achiel, what? Achiel Auroville?

How? How is this possible? This trash bag?

Achiel took a moment to look at the reaction of Madam. She was staring at him with a wild disbelief seeped in her face.

Grandmother couldn't believe her eyes, too.

Though this would be the first time Achiel came to the birthday party of grandmother, everyone knew his name.

Achiel was not only looked down upon by the family of Madam but also the other families of the children of grandmother.

This is too hard for the people to believe! There is no way possible that it made any sense. They have known Achiel all their lives. He couldn't own such a grand company and keep quiet about it.

From where would he even see the money? How would he have been able to make such a huge amount of money.

He couldn't even afford clothes for himself!!!

They all knew that Achiel was adopted. There was no story w

    A sudden laughter filled the room. Everyone was distracted by the laughter and looked in the direction. It was Jones. But when Jones caught the frown in grandmother's face, he quickly sobered up, realising his mistake. He needed to make up for the distraction else he would be done for. He jumped up on his feet at once. "I didn't mean to be disrespectful, grandmother. I was only appalled by the insult that Harold had thrown at everyone here." Jones started. At Jone's speech, the people were slowly getting distracted from the fact that Harold had volunteered to be the face of the company. They were much more interested in the audacity of Jones to boldly and openly rule out the stance of Harold. Even Madam was quite stunned by the audacity of Jones. Realising that he had gained attention for himself, Jones continued immediately. "What are you talking about, Jones? How dare you insult me and call me dumb?!" Harold interrupted Jones. "I'm not insulting you, Harold. I'm only avoiding

    The gust of shock that filled the living room was equal to known. What just happened? Who did Madam just slap? Derek?!Though Derek was the one who was slapped but Hannah was the most affected by the action. Her reaction screamed UTTER DISBELIEF. Harold also couldn't have imagined this happening. In short, no one thought of it. Madam had never gotten physical with any of her children. Let alone someone who was quite respected in the business world of Jade City. Suddenly, a sound interrupted the awkward situation. It was Derek's phone ringing. Derek, for a moment, stared at Madam, who was glaring at him. Then he brought his phone out. A loud voice came over the speaker of the phone. "What the hell happened, Derek!!! Where the hell have you been?!" Derek's father yelled over the speaker. "Dad? I ---""I just woke up from sleep and watched Miss Zoe's news. Hoveland has stopped being partners with us!!! What the hell did you do?! Who did you get into a fight with? Why is it only our

    Madam couldn't hide the shock crawling up her face. What did she just hear? Who had just spoken back at her?!! "I must be hearing wrong!" Madam scoffed, turning fully to face Achiel.But Achiel looked very serious. He looked like he was not willing or ready to take back what he had just said. "What did you just say? You won't give your favour to this family? Is that what you said?" Madam demanded. "Yes. You heard me right, Mother." Achiel repeated. Madam seemed to be having a hard time believing her ears. For all she knew, Achiel was not in any right to talk back at her, let alone stand a ground for what he had said. Madam walked slowly towards him. Achiel remained in the position he was. He didn't break the eye with her as she closed the pace. When she got to him, she looked to the side for a while. Then she suddenly returned to her seat like she had a change of her. Wasn't she already leaving for her room?Achiel turned to look. "I understand that it is your right. I understa

    When Achiel saw Derek, he was not amused, and neither was he surprised. The company where he wanted to get a new phone from was just some miles away from Hoveland. "See who I casually walk into." Derek scoffed, walking closer to Achiel. Achiel should keep on walking, but he wanted to entertain Derek for a while. "A family of the rich Auroville group who is trekking. Shouldn't you at least get a cab?" Derek made fun. "Oh, now I remember. You are too broke to afford that. I mean, you don't even have a job. You're nothing better than a maid. I mean, even the maids get better treatments than you." Derek kept on gloating. Achiel was not offended. He was used to the gloating and insults from different people. It probably had grown on him. "Seeing you in such a great mood. Does it mean that Hoveland has finally reconsidered being partners with your company again?" Achiel teased. Of course, he knew that Hoveland would never ever be in partnership with Huthlink again. He was the owner o

    Before Achiel could tell what was happening, so many people had encircled him! It was quite hard for him to get up on his feet. He could hear the people calling him all sorts of names. "He's the thief. I can swear on my life. He's the thief!" The lady said again. Achiel looked around him. He could swear on his life that he knew no one at all. He had never seen these people in his entire life! What is happening? "You must be mistaking me for someone else. I'm not who you think I am." Achiel decided to clear the air. He had to do that for himself, or else he would take the blame and punishment for something he never did. Achiel tried to get up on his feet. "He is a liar. I saw him last night. I can swear on my life. He almost broke into the store. I'm sure he wanted to steal a phone." The lady was talking so loudly. "We should call the cops right away. Or better still, someone should beat the living hell out of him. Someone, please teach this bastard a lesson." The lady wouldn't

    Achiel was breathless and speechless as he stood at the front of the castle. He couldn't begin to trace the beginning of the building to its lengthy end. At one point, he stopped looking. The castle was about several metres long. But there was a structure that shot out of all the lengthy castle. The walls were something he had never seen before. The walls were decorated with different kinds of precious stones. Ranging from onyx to beryl. There was a point where he couldn't even tell the name of the stones. The contrasts and fusion of the colour of the different stones added to the opulence of the building. If the exterior of the building could be this breathtaking, what magic would the interior do to him?He was groundless. He didn't even know that buildings in this world could be constructed with such costly stones. If this building is real, then he couldn't imagine from where these stones were gotten from in such abundance. To able to construct a several kilometre long castle.

    Achiel didn't know how to respond to these. "Show me to a much more secluded area." Achiel said to the man. The man lifted his gaze at once. "I'm sorry to say this, but this is the most secluded area of the Empire." The man said. Achiel couldn't believe his ears. He looked around for the last time. He was in what looked like a large hall lit by super expensive chandeliers. "This is your first time returning to the empire after decades. It would be thoughtless of me to take you to the central hall. There are so many family members willing to meet you, but I wouldn't throw that at you on the first day. That was why I chose to bring you to this place." The man took a pause. "Originally, this used to be the space for your great grandfather. This was his space whenever he needed solitude." The man explained. "My great grandfather?" Achiel asked. "Your great grandfather is the founder of Jade City. All companies in Jade City and foreign companies that have corporations and cooperati

    The cab pulled over at the front of the great White Mansion. This was the building where the birthday celebration of grandmother was held. Achiel was wondering what he was doing here. He did recall that Madam had threatened to take him with her to meet grandmother. She wants to use his favour for her family. That was supposed to be tomorrow. Why is he here? He was about to find out an answer to all his questions. Himself and the maid walked towards the big building. "I can't go in with you. I will just stay here." The maid said, stopping at the front of the door, which led into the hall. Achiel said no words to her. He turned away from her and pushed the door open. Pushing the door open caused him an awkward moment. Stepping into the hall, all eyes went to him at once. He had just interrupted whatever was going on in the hall. When he looked, he saw the whole family of Auroville gathered in the hall. It was about 7 pm in the evening and everyone was present?He couldn't worry m

    ~ THE THIRD DIMENSION ~A stream of golden light was descending from the sky at an insane speed. Its velocity was beyond the speed of the lightning. It was traveling in a wave and twirl. It kept going and going. When it zoomed past a mist of cloud, the details of the stream of light broadened. Earlier, it appeared as a golden stream of light, but now there seemed to be a hint of blue overshadowing the light. The blueness was like a hue around the golden light. Although the hue was not harsh yet, it was never to be overlooked. Suddenly, the stream of golden light collided with the peak of a bamboo tree. When the collison was made, a blinding light traveled from that place to the end of the whole forest. It was as though the whole place was enveloped in a white brilliance. After a short while, the light died out. When the light died out, there was a lanky and tall man seen standing on the tip of the peak of the bamboo tree. It was as thought hebhwd grown out of thin air. The body

    The towering God of Cosmos stood tall and mightily behind Achiel. Mira still couldn't find the appropriate way to react to it. At first, she thought that he had disappeared with Achiel, but they were still there. Her eyes must be blurring out following the great shock. Suddenly, she noticed the God of Cosmos moving his hands here and there around the room. Mira's eyes followed the directions of his hands that went to and fro. In each direction that he waved his hand, a portal appeared. He waved his hands in five places, and five portals appeared. There was a portal that had been cackling all along. It was through that portal that Achiel wanted to take Mira to the kingdom. "Choose one." The God of Cosmos said out of the blue. "Huh?" Mira was startled by the instruction. She thought that the God of Cosmos had referred to her. When she lifted her gaze slowly to take a quick peek at the immortal being, she realised that she got it all wrong. He wasn't talking to her. He was talkin

    "I can't believe that it really worked as you said." Mira added, awed by the scene that was unfolding on the screen of the phone. "But for how long will he function? I mean, how long would it take for the clone to disappear?" Mira asked. Her tone and voice showed how genuinely concerned and interested she was. She seemed to be clueless yet was fighting for all the intention there was to know. "You didn't have to ask the same question twice. Either way, I'll answer you." Achiel corrected, smiling at her. She should return the smile, but her busy mind wouldn't give her a break from the tumbling thoughts. "For as long as we want." Achiel answered. Mira's brows furrowed when he said those words. The confusion was scribbled on her face. It was way too glaring to be hidden. "We?" Mira finally asked the important question. Achiel sighed as he looked away from the screen of the phone. "I know that all these are strange to you, but you need to grow on the fact. It's something that you

    Outside the Shangri-la tower, there was a scary type of quietness. The level of quietness was really something that could never have been envisaged by anyone. The reason was that there were lots and lots of people who stretched from those premises of the Shangri-la to several kilometers away in a long, broad, and single file. For all these numerous people that have different tastes and have subscribed to different notions and beliefs, to be this quiet, it was something that could never be overlooked. The quietness didn't come of its own accord. Instead, everyone was staring seriously at his phone. Those who were not staring at their phones were looking at the large billboard that was etched into a corner of the tower. Everyone was staring keenly at the screen that was accessible to them respectfully. But what was happening on the screens of all the phones and the billboard were the same thing. Everyone gasped at the same time. On the billboard, there was a lanky man who looked

    Klaus's question attracted a lot of reactions. His words were weighty, and not one person was willing to look to the other side. "Klaus!" Zoe suddenly called at him. Klaus took a glance at her. When he saw her, he looked a little tipped off. For a sheer second, he had forgotten that Zoe was here. In the grand scheme of events at this moment, Zoe was the least important person around when it came to status and class. It was already a wonder that she was present here. Perhaps if she didn't have a feather, she wouldn't be here either. Even Klaus has his. "Don't be offended by my choice of word." Klaus plucked his gaze from her and turned to the whirring camera first before paying attention to the people present. "Pay close attention while I explain this. After this, the couple would be invited in to be celebrated and tied." Klaus's composure had tuned."Although it would totally be an honor to do this even though we are not worthy." Klaus's tone suddenly changed. Something strange

    On the floating peak of Shangri-la, there were numerous people settled down on high-end chairs made out of the purest red gold ever refined. The skin of real-life wild cats that were hand woven were sewn about the chairs, serving as resting pads and the main places where the bum would rest. There were several men of dignity positioned in thoughtful patterns across the space. The sight was so beautiful and opulent. Each of the dignitaries present at that place had a red feather at the top of their hats; each person had a hat on. irrespective of whatever you are wearing, there was a hat to match, and on top of each person's hat was a red feather. The invite!The red feather was the pass for each of the persons that was present on the Peak. The feather looked very rare. It looked to have been plucked from the wings of a Phoenix or several Phoenix.Although the color was red, yet there was this subtle highlight of yellow that made it seem as though it was multicolored. But the truth w

    About 19km away from the Shangri-la Peak, there was a flood of heads. An ocean of bodies standing in the way, making shuffles at occasional periods. The ginormous number of people stretched from that position up to the front of Shangri-la Peak. It was as though the world was about to end, and everyone had come out of their houses. It was even scarier than that. The whole city had come to a standstill because of the crazy number of people occupying all the roads and places.Voices, echoes, and screams were flying around. But one thing each of the people on the street shared was the urge to move forward."Has the wedding started?" A random person asked. "I'm not sure. The Peak is not floating yet. As soon as it starts floating, I'm sure that'd be a sign?"Two strangers were explaining to others who were surrounding them. "Get out of my way!" A lad sent a flying punch into the face of the last person to speak.Before the victim could react, the lad had run forward, pushing his way t

    "It's you. It's really you." Laura repeated the words in an attempt to be emphatic. She had done it also to convince herself that she was in her right mind and was not seeing things. Achiel remained where he was standing as though he could not move. "How... How did you find me?" That was the tenth time that she had asked that same question. When she had received a message from godofcos claiming that he was outside her house. She had come running outside. Getting to the door of her apartment, she had seen Achiel standing there. The man from the store!!!She had been trying to engage him in a conversation, but the man had been staring at her all along. Standing there like a statue. But then suddenly, he replied her abruptly. Ever since then, he had gone mute again. She was really confused and didn't know what to make of this situation that she had earned herself. Achiel was trying to make things less weird between the both of them. If he went fully into talking to her, she might

    Achiel was still standing where he was, staring at his phone. But the noise coming from distance was getting louder, and he couldn't ignore it any longer. He looked away from the phone, from the chat scene, in the direction of the noise. The group of high school students were still there. He wasn't ready to be concerned with who they were. Instead, what they were doing was something that he couldn't ignore. There was a lad who had been forced to be on his knees, while a group of bigger boys hit him repeatedly. Achiel had seen this at first but brushed it off because he was trying to gift Lauretta. Although, earlier, things were not alarming amongst the group compared to now. He started to walk towards the scene. In a matter of time, he was already close to the group. "Are you still going to keep talking?" One of the three big boys said to the victim, hitting him on the back of his head. "You will report to the principal again, won't you?" Another guy slapped the victim across t
