"That's right. With just a glance, people wouldn't realize the important details Balo put into his work. And people wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between the real and fake statues. But now that we know about it, we can tell the difference." Dakota walked closer to the podium."That's not true!" The man hosting the auction denied it.Dakota stared at the man. "What part of that don't you think is true?" Dakota asked him, knowing full well that what he said was the truth that only a few people in the art industry knew.He was sure that the guests who came today were not people who knew the quality of art; he was confident that the people in that place only came there to do the auction as entertainment and a business for them to show off how much money they could spend, so they would not be able to distinguish the authenticity of an art object they bought there unless they met a famous art observer and asked him to check the authenticity of the art object they had.Even if
"How did you know?" Anna approached Dakota, who had come down from the podium. The woman immediately took his hand even though she could have stayed where she was because Dakota would have approached her even if she stayed there.Dakota smiled, but he didn't respond much. Because the truth was that he knew the lie thanks to something he couldn't explain to Anna. Something that would be hard to understand even if he tried to explain it.Anna stared at him in amazement. The more Dakota got, the more amazed she became at his figure. "How did you know? You have such incredible knowledge. The more I get to know you, the more amazed I become. No wonder your life is changing rapidly. You will become successful in the future." Anna praised him.Dakota smiled a little. "Yes, probably." He replied, not wanting to appear arrogant. "Luckily, you listened to me, and I found out that it's a fake and shouldn't be an item bought at such a high price, even if it looks very similar."Anna nodded, a gri
"Argh!" Dakota squirmed in his cozy bed in a lying position. He then slowly tried to sit up and opened his eyes perfectly by peeking into the window of his room through which the sunlight broke through. "This is what it feels like to wake up fresh in the morning." He smiled as he exited his bed and walked towards his bedroom window.Dakota pulled back the curtains that covered his window, then looked out at the busy morning from the floor of his flat. His life is now different, giving Dakota a different view of his surroundings. He used to be able to enjoy the scenery even though it was right in front of his eyes because he was so busy doing one job and moving to another just to make ends meet, but now he has more than enough time to enjoy."The weather is quite nice today." He pulled off the window lock and opened the window to let the outside air into his room. "The air also seems perfect for exercising." He moved from there to his wardrobe.He grabbed a set of his gym clothes and p
Dakota held his arm, which was in pain. He moved from there, wanting to leave the man who pretended to be familiar with him, but the man prevented him. "Where are you going?"Dakota glanced at him, looked for an empty seat, and drank the water in the bottle he had brought. He massaged his muscles a little, trying to relax them, but his friend didn't want to stop bothering him even though he had ignored him. He stood in front of Dakota and laughed at him."You just started a few minutes ago but already want to stop?" he mocked Dakota. "You suck, weakling. Is that all you've got?" He stands posing in front of Dakota. "Look at me. I practice regularly, and you know, even people admire my skills."Dakota looks at him in disbelief, and he knows that people like him are no better than those who only train by running and doing simple exercises regularly. Even Dakota felt that his body before he had the accident was fitter than the man's. He only slightly decreased stamina due to not exercisi
"Ah, that feels better." Dakota washed his body with water flowing from the shower above him, after practicing earlier, he sat for a while and then went to clean himself in the bathroom provided by the gym where she practiced.Dakota wiped his body with the towel he got, then opened the locker he got to place his personal belongings.As he expected, the place was indeed quite extraordinary. Paying a lot of money to train there was not something he needed to consider. Given the facilities he got and how good the trainers were, he had no hesitation in choosing it as his favorite place, except for one thing..."Hey, you!" His old coworker-Roy- reappeared. He looked like he was about to clean himself up, but it seemed like he was doing it because of catching up with Dakota, who was no longer seen training by him.Dakota glanced at him momentarily, then ignored his presence by still wearing her clothes and facing the locker without turning around and looking at him. Yes, the gym would have
"Hey..." The lecturer who was teaching that day was stopping his explanation. He, who was explaining while walking, stopped in front of Dakota while tapping his fingers repeatedly. "Dakota, wake up!" His voice sounded firm and deep, and the man observed Dakota with a flat gaze.He was pretty strict with the subjects he taught, he didn't allow his students to behave carelessly during his class hours, but he also had tolerance. He knew what Dakota's background was like, and he sympathised. But he couldn't make concessions by letting Dakota sleep during his class because that would be a bad example for the others.Before long, Dakota, who placed his head on the desk in front of him by hiding his head in his hands, raised his face and looked at the man. "Ah... Sorry, sir." He immediately apologised for hia behaviour."It's still class time. No matter how sleepy you are, you can't fall asleep. So pay attention back to class if you don't want me to give you a bad grade this semester!" He ga
"Please take a look around, sir." The salesgirl, whose job was to show off and attract the attention of incoming guests, greeted Dakota, who had just entered the building.Dakota nodded in reply to the greeting, then walked around and watched. There were so many companies that came to market their newly released properties, and from the various booths that were there, they had different types. Even though there were one or two with the same type, they still had differences either in price or strategic location, which became their respective advantages and became a consideration for interested buyers.Because buying property is not just focusing and paying attention to one factor, such as price alone. But also various other supporting aspects, the suitability of buyers with the property units they want is an essential factor that underlies the property can be sold."Isn't the price quite attractive, with various other supporting aspects? They made a pretty good offer, and I'm quite imp
"What did you say?" Daniel looked at him fiercely. Dakota's sudden words sounded embarrassing before Rachel, making him angry.Daniel's friend tilted his head and looked at Dakota rather flabbergasted. "Yeah, you're feeling great now, huh?"Daniel hardened his jaw, and he didn't accept Dakota's insolent attitude, who acted arrogantly in front of him, even though he was only a scholarship student. "How dare someone like you, who has nothing, talk to me like that?" He advanced, trying to urge Dakota with more dominance, but Dakota seemed motionless in place. "You know our levels are different. You're just a poor person who knows your place a little. Don't deal with a rich man like me, do you understand." She presses Dakota, trying to tame her.But Dakota is not the Dakota he used to meet and bully. Dakota currently has so many things that he wants to take his time to repay what he gets, different from him, who used to never even think of fighting back because he thought it was futile. H
