Ashley had been walking for such a long time, his face turned pale and both his legs were trembling uncontrollably. He huffed and puffed, telling James with a trembling voice, as if there was nothing stable on his body now.
“S-stop, James! I-I need to take a rest! I can't walk any longer!” Then he bought an icy beverage from the vending machine, and started complaining after drinking a bit, “Screw it! Why the hell does Michael tell us to find that beggar? He is just a scammer coming to fool us and Michael trusts everything he said? What happened?” “And the last name Eswaranski? Damn, why the fck did my uncle sell the diary to pay for his debt? Why didn't he sell one of his kidneys? Fuck!!!” “Now the diary is gone and it's possible that the scammer has seen that name and pretended to be noble!” Ashley couldn't hold back his bad words. After Ernest left, he had gone back home to look for the name Eswaranski in his great grandfather’s diary. But who the hell could expect that his uncle had already sold the diary to pay for his debt? No one! The first time ever, Ashley had scolded his uncle badly. Why hadn't he sold his belongings—his house, his furniture, and even his kidney to solve his own problem? Why had he sold the ancestor’s diary? And what Ashley had got was just a stupid sentence from his uncle. “Ahhh, Ashley, don't be angry. Your great grandfather just wrote silly things and the diary is valued just because it was written two centuries ago.” Fck! Fck! Fck!!! Meanwhile, James was neither tired nor understanding what Ashley was complaining about. He just stood there, confused. James had been absent when Ernest arrived and gave lots of advice to the film crew, which the director Michael found logical and made him want to cooperate with Ernest. James himself couldn't imagine that he had just gone to eat lunch for thirty minutes, and the film crew had completely changed. The man had been confused since noon, and his confusion became bigger and bigger as he saw Michael always asked the main actor, Kelvin, to act again and again but never satisfied though Kelvin had tried so hard. And Kelvin, yeah, he had been weird too. James remembered how proud that guy had been when he and Michael came to his luxurious apartment, asking if he wanted to join their film project. Kelvin had rejected it three times, and when his noble head nodded, he asked for innumerable things to be treated as a king. For instance, his coffee must be cold at noon, and warm at night. But what had James just seen? That guy had agreed to act one scene twelve times without a word! He had even told Michael that he could act for another hour before dinner. They had worked crazily this afternoon, following some advice that the person called Ernest left, but the result they got after all was just one word: inappropriate. It didn't mean that Ernest's words were inappropriate with the manuscript, because James could see Kelvin's acting techniques improved a lot—at least James would give Kelvin some money if Kelvin kept on throwing the bread into his mouth with his dirty hands. The problem was the manuscript. After Kelvin had eaten twelve pieces of bread, Michael realized that the manuscript was no longer suitable with the acting techniques which Kelvin had shown. Michael had told James, “Now I understand why Mr. Eswaranski shook his head while reading our manuscript. It's just inappropriate. We have to find him and make a better plan.” James had gone to find Ernest Eswaranski, but deep inside his mind, James completely agreed with Ashley. The person called Ernest just pretended to be a rich guy so that he could take the others’ money. Suddenly something drew James's attention. He narrowed his eyes to see what it was. Oh, a crowd? What was happening there? He tried to stare at the crowd's center. There was a man, but not look like a celebrity. James didn't know why, but he abruptly asked Ashley while focusing on the man over there. “Ashley, what does Ernest Eswaranski look like?” “Fck, that's what I'm gonna complain about!” Ashley threw the empty bottle into the trash bin nearby, “His outfit is just something that cockroaches won't be pleased to bite. He wears a-” “Tattered hoodie and faded pants?” “Correct!” Ashley clapped his hand, “But how do you know that?” James pointed at the crowd, “I see him standing right there.” Ashley's eyes opened wide. The crowd? What was Ernest doing there? Trying to scam someone and be caught red handed? He looked at James, “Go, we have to see what happens there.” Back to the crowd, the employee took her phone out of the pocket and started calling the police. “Are you threatening me? Are you thinking that I don't dare to call the police? Okay, I'll call. Just stand here and wait for the police who will bring you to their office!” “Good, take your time.” Ernest nodded, “But what are you gonna tell them? That I'm someone trying to disrupt your business by pretending to be a beggar? Then please check the camera over there and show the police how I discontinued your activities.” The employee stopped. Not until that moment did she realize that Ernest had actually done nothing wrong there. But it couldn't ease the anger inside Ernest but made him more furious. Now Ernest didn't care if he could complete the mission in time to survive. He just felt annoyed, and angry. His life had been once taken away by the one he trusted, now it was about to end just because of this stupid employee? What wrong thing had he done to be treated like this? Ernest stood at the center of the crowd. His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone to feel how upset he was. “All the words you use to call me—beggar, man with suspecting behavior, someone trying to disrupt your business—are just what you put on me! Who sees that I actually do any of them?” “I came here, and this woman just chased me away without letting me say a word! Now you guys come to scold me just because of me standing there? What do your skulls contain for exact? Huh?” “Now miss, you wanna call the police? Okay, do it. And remember to call this shop’s owner too. Let them see what the standard behavior of the people who work for a deluxe brand looks like.” The employee was a bit scared when Ernest mentioned her boss, this brand’s owner. But she didn't trust that this young man could be someone but a beggar. A wealthy man? Tch, please don't kidding. She had worked for this brand for a decade and seen lots of rich people. Those wealthy customers could be weird, but no one wore tattered clothes and walked around the area of the rich as if they would sit down on the ground and beg for money anytime. Thinking so, the employee was braver. Her attitude changed, and she called the security before pointing at the street. “Please don't lie anymore, sir. You're wasting our precious time and causing unnecessary troubles. Please go, or our security team will do that for you.”

Ernest raised his eyebrows. His anger vanished as fast as the way it showed up, and Ernest was conscious enough to realize his problem. He couldn't stand there and argue while the precious time was flying. He had another plan, but before leaving, he had to do something. “Fine, now I understand the way you guys do business.” He looked at the big, sparkling banner on the rooftop, “Friesta? Good, this is the first brand that I have to keep in mind.” “We will meet again.” If I couldn't survive tonight. Ernest left that sentence with a mysterious smile before he turned away, heading to another shop. Ernest wouldn't give up! He had six hours left, and there must be some shop where he could spend all his money! But when Ernest was about to leave the crowd, he heard someone calling him. “Sir. Please, sir. I have something to talk about.” Ernest was surprised, and so did the crowd. Since they all knew that Ernest had done nothing wrong, no one dared to scold him badly. Just look at his

Now she smiled in silence, going to the opposite area to prepare an icy water cup, as if she had pretended Ernest's choice.Unlike the employee who had scolded Ernest, Hannah was conscious and smart enough to figure out who the real VIP was.Aniston Stella had been unmarketable for about a year—the moment when Friesta had launched and taken away all their ‘loyal’ customers.

In the other corner, Hannah realized that the situation, despite its weirdness, was worse than expected. She stepped out, thinking of some way to ease Ernest’s anger, because they couldn't provoke this wealthy (and weird) customer. But right at that moment, the poor employee heard Ernest shouting.“Screw it, Steven! Twenty thousand dollars is not even enough for a tiny meal, why the hell are you always refusing as if it's a big amount?”Hannah stopped. Ernest's words echoed in her ears like a curse.‘Twenty thousand dollars is not even enough for a tiny meal’?So that's a corner revealed of the rich’s life?Hannah looked at her colleagues, seeing the familiar bewilderment reflected in his eyes.It’s enough bewilderment. Hannah stepped back. She would never poke her nose into this argument. She—the woman who couldn't even buy a tiny meal costing twenty thousand dollars—was not deserved. Hannah's better go back, or else she would not be able to look straight at her dinner.The argument

However, five minutes had gone since Ernest bought a huge load of clothes, and his brain just thought of only one thing.A machine gun.If you were going to be dead tonight, why wouldn't you buy a machine gun and go back shooting the damn shop owner—Steven Smith? Ernest himself would go to hell for murder, but Steven would be there for indirectly killing him!!!Fuck.Once again, Ernest sat on the street with money, but was not even able to blurt out a bad word with his mouth, because he was still muted for another ten minutes.Though all the words above were just a moment of complaining, maybe he should buy a gu-“Thanks God, finally we found you, Mr. Eswaranski!”Ernest looked up, seeing the comer.

The first time ever, Michael felt how hard it was in negotiation. Though the legendary last name Eswaranski had turned twenty thousand dollars into something more realistic than just a daydream, it's still a dangerous investment.Thirty percent was high and safe enough for both investor and the project manager, right?Didn't he think that it was still… low? Was he crazy?Thinking so, Michael asked. “So, you mean 40% would be better?”Ernest glanced at Michael without a word, but this time, Ernest’s emotion was not good as it was at the beginning. He put the black card on the table, right on the contract, finger started scratching the table.Forty percent? What the heck was that man saying? There had been thirty and Ernest just wanted to remove it, so why the hell did he think that forty would be better?Fck the damn punishment! Why muting him? Why???Now Ernest could neither say that he refused this contract nor gesture that he was temporarily dumb! He could do nothing, and Michael—ye

On the way looking for Ernest, James had been complaining that he had to pay the bank officer five hundred dollars but received just one sentence: that Ernest came from the Eswaranski family — which had already shown in his full name.Michael remembered how he had replied to James with a gentle look—exactly what his grandfather had done in his memory.“Do you know what the ratio is to give birth to a genius, raise them to be a good person, and make sure that they would do something big to help this world?”“It was about zero, because most of us can't even imagine that, let alone taking it into action and solving all the possible problems to reach that goal.”“But in the Eswaranski clan, that ratio was ninety-nine to one hundred. Do you know what it means?” Michael looked at Ashley and James’ bewildered faces, “99% to be geniuses, and the other 1% were… monsters.”“But what is a monster?” Ashley had asked him that, but Michael just shook his head in silence.A supernaturally smart guy?

Why are you here?” He asked.Olly nodded at Ernest, slightly.

Daggers, knives, and even guns were shown right in front of Ernest’s face.Some bar staff standing afar immediately stepped back, hiding behind walls. Their eyes were full of shock and fear.Weren't they talking in peace? Why did they start fighting?And by the way, where would be the best place to hide during this fight?“Good, kiddo.” The man stood up, licking his gold-covered teeth in some freaky excitement. “It's been a really long time since the last bastard slammed my head with a glass bottle.

They had brought those girls as a gift for Ernest, and they could have stood up and destroyed all his plans!Ernest thought so, and for a second, he wanted to kneel down and say ‘thank you’ to Paul.“That's good.” He said with such a great effort to stop the smile appearing on his face. “I'll call my people to bring you to our place, where you guys can take a rest and be relaxed after all these things.”Ernest couldn't wait for any longer.Fck.

“What? Singers?” The girl blurted.Right at the moment Ernest said that, all the people attending in the nightclub turned back at him.Thanks to the advanced vision of a vampire, Ernest immediately realized how serious his actions were.The irritating music in the nightclub wasn't loud enough to hide Ernest’s shocking announcement, and all the staff, or the gang members, including Paul, turned their eyes to him, in silence.And yeah, even both of the girls stared at him with caution.Ernest gulfed down a bit of saliva, feeling like he had just stepped on a mine and couldn't put his leg away.He knew what happened.

The harmony atmosphere immediately froze after Ernest’s words.Now not only Paul, but also the others who were following after Ernest were shocked to the point their expressions couldn't be calm for a moment.They all stared at Ernest as if he was a monster, some started to be so cautious, and even Terrence was ready to take Ernest down anytime.As a vampire, Ernest knew that, because those intense looks were too hard to ignore.But he didn't stop walking into the nightclub, and even smiled with the bartender, who was his acquaintance but now not knowing him.“One Manhattan, more ice, thanks.”Then he looked back at Paul and his subordinates. They're still silent as if they're waiting for a command from PaulMaybe killing Ernest, caging him to ask how he got all that information, or just considering if they could take down that young monster.However, the commander, Paul, was thinking of those, all at once, and he didn't know what to do with Ernest at the moment.Illegal activities we

Ten minutes after using the system’s Vampire State to threaten Paul and the Dragon Flame Gang, Ernest had successfully been brought to their hidden business structure. Paul drove his old car, slowly leading Ernest to go through lots of narrow alleys, then a few empty streets which were full of old, abandoned houses, before the terrible scenes in front of Ernest’s eyes turned into a crowded street. It was midnight, but this street was still lively with neon lights, people going back and forth, and irritating EDM music echoing from speakers at both sides. Since turning into a vampire, Ernest was allergic to light, even if it's artificial. He didn't have time to locate where the destination was, but the old car had stopped, and Paul's voice echoed in the strained atmosphere. “Here we come.” Paul said, slightly sighed before leaving the car. “One of our important facilities, Dreambound Nightclub.” Ernest opened the car door. And for no reason, he narrowed his eyes at the fancy bu

At the other side, Olivia was at the headquarters, taking care of the sick Olly and waiting for the news in anxiety as time passed.“Why didn't Dean call us even once?” Olly asked.He slowly walked to the door, trying to turn his eyes at the distant gate, which was recognisable in the dark, thanks to the lights.He had been walking back and forth for the tenth time, and the longer he waited, the more nervous he was. And for the first time ever, Olly hated this mansion’s huge area.It was too big to see anything from there, especially at night.Olivia brought a warm tea cup to Olly, looking at his narrowed eyebrows.She understood why, because even Olivia herself was nervous that Ernest could be injured or something. But she couldn't let the currently injured boss stand there and waited for some news.Thinking so, Olivia sighed.“Boss, you shouldn't be too nervous about the young master.
