004 - Overwhelming Adams
last update2024-05-07 23:57:39

How did twenty million dollars manage to find their way to his statement? Astonished, Adams didn't bother to think too much about it as he quickly rushed into his meals.

Within three minutes, he emptied the plates, and a minute later, he dressed up in his clothes, ready to experiment with the authenticity of the money.

He hopped through different wards until he got to the chief doctor's office; the doctor then directed him to the hospital's financial department, where he'd make the payment.

Each passing patient couldn't help but turn around and look twice at the grown man with smooth, silk-like, shining black hair.

Tall with broad shoulders and straight legs. Perfect, handsome, chiseled face with a straight nose, an average-sized mouth, and a pearl-shaped eye.

His sandy-colored skin tone matches his cool temperament, but his faded clothes and torn boots almost kill the vibes of the guy in every lady's dreams emanating from him.

Adams got to the financial department, where he was to pay the bills. He brings out his wallet; lucky for him, his bank card is in there. He pulled it out and handed it over to the middle-aged man who was sitting in front of the enormous desk in the office, alongside the bill outline.

Checking through his computer system, the middle-aged man nodded. He inserts Adams' cards into an automated machine and then turns the machine to face him.

“Type in your password,” he requested, and with shaky hands, Adams entered his PIN, and the processing completed within seconds, approving the transaction.

His joy knew no boundaries as he received a debit alert on his phone. 'Miracles sure do exist,' Adams thought as he sauntered out of the hospital. The smile plastered on his face was exceptionally bright.

Adams Smith decides he won't squander this money. He needed to create rules and wasn't even interested in knowing where and how the money got to His bank account. All he knew was that he'd meet his demise if he didn't use up the money in the next five days. Ridiculous, but he believes it.

The first item on Adams' set agenda is to return home to get his things. He wasn't going to care too much about the rent fee after all; he had enough money to buy himself an outstanding condominium, and then... the thought of his next plan brought a smirk to his handsome face.

Adams didn't bother boarding a cab or bus; he walked to the 45th-floor building and took the elevator to the thirtieth-floor. His smile never vanished as he exuded a mysterious, powerful, and imposing aura that had never existed before.

This caught a lot of attention from the people in the same living area. They were expecting to see a heartbroken guy to whom they would say words of consolation.

Adams didn't bother about his ex-fiancee and her boyfriend as he got into his home. He went straight to the shelf and took out a notebook and a pen. He plummets himself onto the only couch there and begins writing.

Rule number one: Never speak too much. Only reply with one word, such as hmmm, yes, uh, uh yeah.

Rule number two: Invest wisely. Never waste money on any luxury. Make more money before comfort.

Rule number three: Be ruthless, and cold-hearted, but kind. Never smile too much. Smile, but only wicked smiles and smirks.

Rule number four: no forgiveness, no second chance. Change your wardrobe and look sexy and charming. No flirting, just seduction. Buy a car, make them jealous, and fill them with regrets.

Rule number five: most important: No woman, no lover, only flings and baby mamas.

Rule number six: Adams paused with raised brows and decided these were okay for now.

He will add others at the right time. Adams tore out the pages on which he had written the rules and proceeded to fold the paper. He stands up from the couch and sits back again.

Adams took the pen he had dropped and skillfully began writing. Not long after, he had finished what he was writing and then tore out the pages yet again. He sauntered to the shelf and put back the items he had taken.

"Adams Smith, you look much better than I expected you to. I was waiting for you to come and beg my baby to take you back," Evans mocked.

Evans and Samantha were both cuddling on the cushion as he played with her hair. She will giggle at his playful act, all to irk Adams. But seeing that he was unaffected, Evans decided to taunt him with words.

Instead of a displeased grunt, all he received was a sneer and a chuckle from Adams.

"Hmm," Adams responded, and he wordlessly strode to the bedroom. He took out important things from his wardrobe and placed them in a small backpack.

Striding toward the flabbergasted couple, Adams threw a folder at Evans, and he said,

"In there is my resignation letter, Mr. Evans George. You are no longer my boss but the boyfriend of my ex. Pathetic!"

Instantly, both Evans and Samantha became enraged. They both rose from the cushion with ugly expressions.

"Do you think any boss in his right state of mind would want to hire a crazy person like you? How dare you disrespect Evans by throwing your resignation letter at him? I knew it. You are nothing but a crazy psycho and bad luck,"

Samantha yells at the top of her voice as she points her index finger at him.

"Forget it, baby; do not yell or stress; the fool will come begging on his knees once he realizes his mistakes. He is only being egoistic to cover his sorrow-filled heart. I'll make him lick yours and my shoe sole when he crawls back to us."

Evans consoles Samantha with his eyebrows raised cockily.

"Miss Samantha Salvador, I'd like to inform you that I won't be needing an employer. But you might want to become my employee, or won't you?" He asks, a playful smirk plastering his handsome face.

He turned to Evans and muttered. “Mr. Evans George, your newest business rival, is something you might want to watch out for.”

His loop-side smile never withers away, as Adams left the room, leaving them dumbstruck.

Evans George, who had been glaring at Adams Smith and his newcomer friend, turned to look at his soon-to-be fiancee. He noticed her discomfort and reached out to hold her hand. “Do not worry; he can not do anything. I knew he would come here to cause a scene, so I planned a surprise for him ahead of time. Relax, baby Sam; he can not do anything. I will not let him ruin this beautiful moment in our lives.” Evans George reassured. Relax? How can she relax in such a situation? She did not know how to explain to him that she was afraid of Aleric, not Adams. “Alright. Thank you, Evan. I love you.

She had come forward to make such a brazen request, but she was unsure if she would be fortunate enough to be accepted. “I will get going. See ya.” Adams Smith winked at Aleric, who grinned back.

The suffering. He couldn't ever forget.His room. His old room. It was smaller than he remembered, the walls a lifeless shade of gray, cracked in places where time or rage had left its mark.The wooden floorboards creaked beneath his weight, some loose and splintered, as if they had been stomped on too many times. A battered bed frame sat in the far corner, its mattress sagging in the middle, covered in old, faded sheets.The desk against the wall was overturned, its drawers yanked out and empty, just as they had always been when someone had taken whatever little belonged to him. The only source of light came from a flickering bulb overhead, casting long, shifting shadows across the room. They str

The ground solidified, turning into rough, uneven stone. The sun above flickered, replaced by an eerie twilight, casting the world in a deep purple hue. A humid breeze rolled in, thick with the scent of damp moss and decaying wood. Aleric's boots scraped against the jagged rock as he steadied himself. Hell!! The desert wa

    Aleric Kyle Christopher's head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton. One moment he'd been—well, he wasn't entirely sure what he'd been doing. The memories were fragmented, like pieces of a shattered mirror. He remembered traveling to the city to visit a friend, though the name and face escaped him. There had been a counter, drinks flowing freely, and a beautiful woman with eyes like amber. The bathroom. Her lips against his neck. Then... nothing. Now, he stood in the middle of a vast desert, the sun beating down mercilessly on his exposed skin. Sweat immediately began to form on his forehead, trickling down his temple. "What the actual hell?" Aleric muttered, shielding his eyes from the blinding sun. He spun around, searching for any sign of civilization, but there was nothing but sand in every direction, stretching toward the horizon. A translucent blue screen suddenly materialized before Aleric, hovering at eye level. [Welcome, Aleric Kyle Christopher, to the APEX Survival

    Baxter's eyes scanned the horizon, taking in the endless dunes of sand that stretched out before him. The sun beat down relentlessly, making the air shimmer and dance. He squinted, raising a hand to shield his eyes. "Where am I?" he muttered, looking around for any sign of civilization. The NeuroSpark System's interface flickered to life, displaying a message before his eyes. [Location: Desert of Eternal Storms. Warning: Hostile creature detected.] Baxter's head snapped up, his senses on high alert. He scanned the horizon, searching for any sign of the creature. And then, he saw it. A massive, serpent-like creature emerged from the sand, its body undulating as it moved. Its scales glinted in the sunlight, a dull bronze color that seemed to absorb the light around it. Baxter's eyes widened as the creature charged towards him, its jaws open wide. [Threat detected: Dune Wraith. Level: 5. Health: 500. You're at risk of losing.] The System's interface beeped urgently, displaying t

    It was a small patch of skin, tinged a sickly grey, nestled between the creature's emerald scales. Baxter knelt beside the massive beast, his heart racing at the thought of what he had to do.“You’ve got this,” he murmured to himself, bracing for the final confrontation. Suppressing the lingering pain from the creature’s earlier attack, he focused all his remaining energy into his hands, the crackling electricity intensifying until it vibrated in the air around him.With a deep breath, Baxter pressed his palm against the discolored patch on the Chimera’s neck and unleashed a concentrated bolt of electricity. The moment it made contact, the air around him shattered with a brilliant blinding light. The Chimera shuddered violently. Its body convulsed as arcs of electricity coursed through it, illuminating the veins of energy visible beneath its scaled skin.Baxter’s eyes widened in disbelief as the creature’s muscles tensed, twitching uncontrollably before suddenly going still.

    Baxter's eyes darted around, trying to pierce through the mist and identify the approaching threat. The forest was eerily silent now, save for the occasional snap of a twig or rustle of leaves. "Okay, Bax," he muttered to himself, electricity crackling between his fingers. "You've got this. Just stay calm and—" A blood-curdling screech cut through the air, sending chills down Baxter's spine. He whirled around, just in time to see a massive, bat-like creature swooping down from the canopy above. Its wingspan was easily fifteen feet, and its leathery wings ended in razor-sharp claws. A long, serpentine neck extended from its body, crowned by a head that was a nightmarish fusion of bat and reptile. Rows of needle-like teeth glinted in its gaping maw as it dived--- --bombed towards Baxter, its talons outstretched and ready to rend flesh from bone.
