Back to the present time, Matthias went straight to his main office after the talk with Arnauld.It was almost 10 pm when he arrived and most of the general staff had already left."Sir, you got a message from General Zion from Ruzka," Clementine, his secretary, informed Matthias. "Ignore them. How's my flight to Shian, by the way?" The secretary scrolled on the tablet and checked Matthias' itinerary. "You need to be at the airport tomorrow at 2 am."Matthias nodded at the answer and opened the door to his office where the documents for his plan are kept."The thing that I asked you about. Did you already prepare it?"Clementine gave Matthias a confident smile and showed the flash drive where the files and photos that might incriminate Mr. Owen are saved."I have it all here: details of their operation, location and names of people who are involved with their business," Clementine said.This gave a reason for Matthias to smile a bit since his plans are rolling on a straight way.

"What did you say? Investigators came to my office?!" Mr. Owen exclaimed the next day after he received the news that his CNC Group is under investigation for illegal businesses."What are those scums thinking? Block them! Don't let them inside my office without me!"But it's already too late. When Mr. Owen arrived in his office, his papers were already piled up on boxes and being confiscated by the authorities."What's the meaning of this, officer?" Mr. Owen asked the person who looks in charge of the operation. The officer took a look at Mr. Owen. Although he didn't know him personally, his face that has been plastered on several brochures and magazines helped the officer recognize the CNC's owner. "Mr.Harold Owen, correct, Sir?""Yes, it's me.""You should come with us quietly, Sir."And the officer showed the handcuffs to Mr. Owen, prompting those around them to look at the CEO.Mr. Owen noticed this hence he did not try to cause more scenes that might send him to the front page

When he was arrested, Zack Cheng remained silent. He never explained how the trafficking works under Mr. Owen's business nor tried to appeal like what Mr. Owen did. Except for a few minutes talking with Mr. Owen, Zack did not speak with the authorities."Until when are you going to act like this?" Kinard asked Zack when it was time again to take statements from him. "You being silent in all of these is just making things worse for both of us. Can't you allow us to get stronger evidence against Harold Owen?"But Zack just looked boringly at Kinard. He has no intention of cleaning his name because being out of Owen's radar is the best thing that happened for him!Meanwhile, after Mr. Owen was released from detention, right after he signed several papers detailing the 'atrocities' and 'wrong-doings' of his so-called adoptive son, he was greeted by a much larger issue.Turns out, his arrest was captured in camera and has been posted online by a nameless user with a caption that spikes d

"Here are the files you requested, Sir. Like you suspected, the man named Ricardo Repuelli is somehow connected to Mr. Owen. There are records of them meeting one year prior before Mr. Owen approached you."Matthias read the paper handed to him by Clementine that details the man who scammed Elisha and her family."Where is he now?" Matthias asked, thinking if he can also tug Ricardo's ropes to the mud together with Mr. Owen."He's enjoying a long vacation on the White Islands alone. As a bachelor at the age of 40, he's using his money to bring a lot of girls to his transient home almost everyday."So, he's enjoying his time in luxury he doesn't deserve? Matthias thought."Can you kill him?" Matthias nonchalantly asked Clementine out of nowhere after a long silence which shocked Clementine."Do you mean it?," Clementine asked, making sure that he did not misheard Matthias."Yes, just kill him and use him to warn Owen. I would like it if that bastard would turn crazy."Clementine, who h

Unlike the scene with Mr. Owen, Matthias was professionally welcomed by Kinard–no lukewarm coffee, no unheated meal. Instead, he’s served with a proper snack and water bottle to help the food go down.“It’s my first time meeting you, Sir. Pleased to meet you, I am Kinard Sylas, the chief here.”Matthias shook hands with Kinard and they proceeded with his profile, stating his name, age and current address. “Matthias Claude…hm, you’re a previous resident here and you don’t have any hits yet, that’s good, we can continue with your story.”So Matthias told Kinard everything starting when he received a call from Mr. Owen, saying that he became the heir of a billionaire and the ridiculous twists and turns in his life since then.“So, this Elisha Viktorin, fell down on the cliff, dead?”Matthias lowered his head, thinking back on what happened before when he’s forcibly taken away by the humanoid Mirella and his men.“Yes. I am sure because there’s no way she would be able to survive on that

“Why are you here again?” Mr. Owen said, almost hysterical to Kinard when he saw him in front of his office door waiting for him. “Good morning,” Kinard greeted but Mr. Owen shut the door in front of him without much word.The same thing happened again when Kinard tried to meet Mr. Owen in their house.He was told by Mr. Owen’s maid to get lost and that he should not come anymore to their place anymore.With very little chance to meet and talk with Mr. Owen again, Kinard decided to pursue the investigation outside and searched for the person that Matthias mentioned to him before when they talked – Ricardo.“Sir…” the officer whispered something to Kinard.“Got it. Okay. Let’s meet Harold Owen one last time.”Afternoon, the employees were busy closing their PCs and cleaning their tables when Kinard and several of his men entered the building of the CNC group.Of course, a group like them always attracts attention, but because he’s been frequenting the building these days, only few loo

After learning about Ricardo’s death, there are no more peaceful times for Mr. Owen because aside from his own overthinking, he also keeps seeing Elisha’s figure anywhere.“Can’t you rest for a bit today?” Alma, Mr. Owen’s legal wife asked her husband. “If you rest now, things will be better for you–”“Ridiculous!” Mr. Owen shouted. “Are you thinking? How can my fate change for the better if I won’t do anything about it? Tsk, stupid woman.”But before he can leave two packages arrived at Mr. Owen’s table. One is an envelope, the other one is a notebook sized box.He opened it and from the first package, Mr. Owen saw a family picture of him, Elisha and Matthias together with other people close to them. Everyone’s smiling brightly and Elisha has that bridal glow everyone should be envious of. Immediately, Mr. Owen ripped the photograph.What’s that?The wedding never happened!There’s no wedding!Wait, is there?No!He can’t remember anything…But the photo…Still confused at the photo

“So, it failed?” Camilla opened the canned soft drinks she’s holding and poured it into a glass. “Well, I never expected Harold Owen to succeed at all. If only the great master did not die abruptly, there would be no Mirella that could go against our plans. On second thought, it’s also hard to face off with that giant–I mean, the great master.” The butler, who’s been listening to all of Camilla’s rants and thoughts, turned off the lights and closed the fridge. Then he walked to Camilla and pulled the woman by her waist. “But since I did what you told me, it's only correct for me to get my reward,” the butler told Camilla before he kissed Camilla’s neck, down to the angle of her shoulders, putting the hair strands covering part of her face to the back of Camilla’s ear. “Now, stop chugging down that carbonated drink like an expensive wine, we have a long night ahead of us…” he added as he pulled the middle-aged lady to her room. Like what the butler intended, they shared intima

"Get that and that and that fucker out of my face, now. Argh!"Everyone trembled as Camilla shouts to her assistant to take out the professional gamers that they hired to mine invaluable things within IMPERIAL SAGA."I'm so tired of dealing with morons. Why do you keep hiring dumb people like those?" she whined to her butler and lover, James Morrow. "Do a better job or else...hah, don't mind."James walked out of the room escorting the fired gamers, who's been gaming for only one day but brought out unsatisfactory results to Camilla."Can I ask something," one of the gamers asked James. His eyes were already moistened from the harsh words beating from Camilla earlier but it wasn't that noticeable behind his thick eyeglasses."We know what we are doing, mining and collecting rare treasures but why is she offended when we said that we successfully formed an alliance with that Duke? As someone with a merchant job, being in connection with the Duke will surely make the gameplay easier."
Chapter 56
Nelson's uploaded video took up the charts in trending topics. He was even interviewed for an evening magazine show just to talk about his experience in meeting the rumored Duke, who everyone thinks is the top player within the game because currently, he's also the one dealing with the empire's affairs more than the emperor. "Isn't this a problem?" Clementine said to Matthias when Matthias went out of his capsule that day. "That Camilla will see you.""See me?" Matthias thought for a while before stepping out of the capsule. "What is it for her then? I don't remember offending her except for that one time when I—""She's out for your throat and money," Clementine informed Matthias. "And because of that, here's the report that I need you to read."Matthias read the report with a serious face, tapping on the floor with his foot. And after two minutes, he sat down on the chair not too far away from him. "These...is she seriously trying to start a war? Isn't the sales and manufacturing

Bam!Fireworks shot at the sky at the launch of the most advanced virtual reality game, IMPERIAL SAGA. People, gamers enthusiasts and people who follow the latest trends in technology participated at the countdown when the game was announced online.“Damn, cool! I’m glad I swapped my motorbike for this capsule,” the Nettuber Nelson commented when he showed his followers the capsule he acquired that is only for playing the now popular, IMPERIAL SAGA.“And did you know…hushh…this is a secret I just got from fellow gamers. So, did you know, there’s a rumor that IMPERIAL SAGA will give its players money just for gaming? Brothers and sisters, our in-game money can be withdrawn in the real world!”[foccin killa…][just what i always wanted it to be][Imagine having a job inside the game and using your money in real life where you’re jobless. That’s nuts. It’s like having two lives.][hahaha, I’m taking assassination jobs now. Anyone who wanna hire me?][murder XD][lololololol]Nelson looke

“Same as…me?” “Yeah… you. How do you describe yourself?” Matthias told Larsen as he studied the capsule where he’s been laying down for a long time…which felt exactly 3 years for him.Complicated, maybe? Larsen thought.Ah! So that’s how it is.“Aren’t you going to ask me something important?” Larsen smirked at Matthias.“Not interested. Anything that you’ll say won’t be taken seriously by me…Dear Emperor.”Larsen gave a deep sigh at Matthias’ stubbornness. Well, that’s to be expected from him.“If I were you, I'd start taking over land now. It could be something that’s not Penoma but that’s the place I recommend. That’s because in 3 weeks time, I will officially launch this app out in public. Meaning, you’ll be taken over by those who really know how to beat a game. You should hurry.”Then Larsen left the room, leaving Matthias who is still engrossed at the structure of the giant device in front of him.Two weeks passed and the rumor about a new virtual reality game that extends to

Chapter 53A party…again.What does it mean?Larsen, who saw Matthias’ apparent confusion, laughed. “You should start controlling your emotions, young one. Like right now, I can see that you’re too ignorant by what I mean and just now, you got offended when I called you ‘young’.”“But you’re not really that old,” Matthias commented to Larsen. In his estimate, Larsen is just about the same age as him.“If you’re saying that I am not old in real life then I am not. But in this game, my age is already in 3 digits.”Well, it does not surprise him.Larsen being an emperor means he already spent a lot of time inside the game. So, mentally…“Dang, old rotting guy,” Matthias blurted, which was heard by Larsen.“You talk sharp, young one,” Larsen teased Matthias. “Talk to elders with respect.”Ignoring Larsen’s words, Matthias walked away. “Are you not going to ask me more about this game?” Larsen shouted as Matthias took a step further and further away from him.“No need, thank you. I’ll f

As Larsen faded, Matthias slowly walked away from the monsters so that he wouldn't end up like their last victim, hanged upside down and conscious while being bitten bit by bit by the monsters as if savoring a delicacy. Small dark elves, that’s what the monsters are and they are burning and tossing the other humans they captured, shouting and cheering as they pass it to each other to have their comrades taste it. But as Matthias tried to run away from the busy elves, he did not notice a stone in the ground and fell belly first to the ground. Without thinking, he used the ability [Blink] but instead of getting himself far away from the monsters, he ended up back to his previous position which is just barely a hundred kilometers away from the elves. In haste, he tried to crawl out of panic. This led to one elf learning his location. Soon, each of the elves started to recognize that there is an intruder in their vicinity. Squeeee! The tiny humanoid creatures squealed like goblins a

Matthias read Larsen’s title a few more times. “What does being an emperor mean in this game?” he asked, wondering if that title gives him some perks.“It means that I am the rank 1 in my region.”Then Larsen opened his inventory and gave Matthias a book. “That’s a skill book,” he shared. “Take it as a bonus. Usually, newbies like you need to buy that from the in-game stores but I’ll let you have it now since I transferred you very far away from the cathedral.”Matthias opened the book and immediately, a message window popped up.[Blink] The message says and from the descriptions of it, it is an auto-evade skill that can be used 3 times a day according to their in-game time. “How generous…” Matthias said as he pressed [allow] to let the skill consume one of his current 5 skill slots. “Then, good luck,” Larsen said and quickly left the viscounty with his own personal skill. “What?!” Matthias exclaimed when he’s left alone to deal with the chaos inside Penoma Viscounty. “What is h

"Yes, like I told you, there's a lot of things that you need to know and it will take some time to ingrain these things inside your head like second nature."Matthias stared at Larsen as he lay down in one of the capsules to try the game that was being described to him."My assistant, Kira, will be logging in with you, so please wait for us at the cathedral after you create your character," Larsen told him one last time before closing the lid of the capsule to officially start his gaming journey.When Matthias opened his eyes again, he was in a very white place where he could not perceive depth."Hello?" he called but there was no sound coming out of his mouth.Then zzt...and a small window with a keyboard opened.[Please enter your name]Matthias keyed his name but changed his mind halfway and changed it into Mias. But that sounds too girly so he changed it again into Sai, taking the last letters of his name.[Welcome, Sai.] The screen says and then it shows him ways to customize hi

"So, what am I supposed to do now?" Matthias asked Larsen after Larsen and Lorena brought him to a business building he doesn't know of.Lorena's heels made a noise on the hallways of the building they're in which reminded Matthias of his first time entering Mr. Owen's company because the sound feels familiar and at the same time, just a distant memory. Larsen instructed Matthias to enter a room with several capsules in it. "A game?" Matthias asked."Oh, so you know about these games? Virtual realities? These types of VR capsules came out recently and we'll be using these to train your brain."His brain? Matthias couldn't believe what he heard. How can this thing train his brain in the process. "Well, I call it like that but it's just you and me going to simulate a fake life of yours. A minute here outside feels like an hour inside the game. So, to make it feel like a hundred years, the simulation will last for at least one week, 10 hours each day."Wait!" Matthias interrupted. "Do
