Of course Andrew wasn't allowed to go scot-free after walking out on the council. It was a very shocking behaviour, one that was rarely seen among new business owners in the area. The chairman was no doubt shocked as well, but let it slide for the day. They gathered in the meeting room the next day to discuss what he had done and what the solution to his defiance was going to be. Of course the solution wasn't always going to be a good one, but nobody really cared. As long as everyone wasn't getting hurt or losses with his strategic implementation in business, then everyone was OK. The atmosphere in the room was very different compared to what it had looked like the day before. On this particular day, the silence in the room felt so thick and everyone who was present was ready to say everything they thought would be suitable to deal with the situation. It was very important, and they took it as such. "We are back here to address the Andrew situation." The chairman declared as he sto
Andrew saw the confrontation from the Assembly as an opportunity to let let know what he was really capable of doing. If there was one thing he had learnt after acquiring his system, it was bowing to no one because the moment you did, that would be the moment you would be treated like some piece of trash. It was time to take the hotel forward and give it everything he had given to his Spa which was still booming with customers with each passing day. It was still attracting a lot of customers worldwide since he had appointed world-class workers there. "Today is the day," he declared to himself as he walked through the front door of the ongoing construction. His team of engineers were already waiting for him inside and he was about to give them some last-minute ideas of what he wanted about the Spa, hoping that they would be able to fit them into the current plan. One of those was another Spa, a couple restaurants that would be annexed to the main building and also a shopping mall. A
Andrew was in his office, reviewing the latest financial reports when the familiar icons popped up, buzzing with an incoming notification. He clicked on the message. It was from Shelby.He opened the message with a quick swipe and was happy to find out that his investment had paid off handsomely- he had earned an eighty percent return on the shares he had purchased. He couldn't repress the chuckle that left his throat after getting the information."This is incredible!" He exclaimed. He was unable to contain his excitement and replied Shelby with a quick"Thank you." He was still ecstatic when his system popped up.[ Congratulations, master Andrew. Your investment has yielded significant returns as expected.] He grinned at the familiar robotic baritone."Amazing, isn't it?" He replied, imagining the things he could do with the profits he had just earned. He could further develop and expand his empire with it. His system continued, as indifferent as ever.[You have achieved your first
He spent a lot of time that night in his room, pondering over the accusations that Karen had made against him. He felt so betrayed and so angry even though the ties between them had been severed. He thought about a lot of things, such as addressing the issue head on and announcing that he had no part in what was going on and that Karen was merely chasing clout by accusing him of things he never did even when she was the one who initiated the divorce papers in the first place. How could she slander his name in such a manner, he thought, feeling his heart twist with so much pain. And to claim that he had a child with her- it was preposterous! Absolutely disgusting!! As far as he knew, he never saw any child and never saw her pregnant to begin with. It was all so strange and too much for him to handle, he knew he had to start somewhere. "I never even knew she had a child with me." He muttered to himself in utter confusion while staring into the distant void. "And she certainly never a
Andrew was particularly worried by the interface of the world where he had just found himself. It all felt so real. He was still breathing heavily when he found the sword again. It was somewhere behind the tree where he had just hit himself. He got up and quickly limped behind the back of the tree before lunging for the knife. He caught it just in time before another growl sounded behind him. He didn't waste any time to find out what was really going on because he had seen it all. The system was real and it had plunged him into a world of chaos, there wasn't a single doubt that it was real as well. The ground beneath him was soft and damp, and the sound of his footsteps was muffled by the dense undergrowth. The guttural growl sounded again, causing him to get up and run. His breathing was still very harsh from the impact of hitting himself on the tree trunk. As soon as he had gotten to safety, he gripped the hilt of the sword at his side and scanned the shadows for any signs of move
Hearing that he had successfully unlocked the mask was the only relief he got from the crazy chain of events that had just taken place. He couldn't believe that he could have been dead if he hadn't been able to defeat the monster. It just told him how much he needed before could be able to achieve and overthrow things that life was going to throw in his way. He knew challenges would ultimately come, no matter what, and he was intent on making sure that he took care of it but it was going to mean extra training. He had to train and push himself even further if he was going to stand a chance against Karen and the challenges ahead. He spent the.whole day recovering from what had transpired and spent the next practising a lot of different skills and swordplay while still mastering the art of combat. Thankfully, his system was there to help him every step of the way and break down the skills he needed to learn, how to learn them while also giving him expert advice. There wasn't anything h
Andrew felt so positive as soon as he got up the next morning. He couldn't wait to get cracking. The anticipation was running through his veins as he thought about it. Today was the day he was finally going to confront Karen and he wanted to make sure that he left a long-lasting impression so that the rest of his actions would be smooth and easy. Rising from his luxurious bed, he stretched and let out a satisfied sigh. Going through his morning route of meditating and exercising, he hydrated himself before going into the bathroom. As soon as he got out of the bathroom, his doorbell rang and he quickly went to answer it. His stylists had already arrived with the package he had ordered. They had brought with them a sleek black tuxedo. It was tailored to perfection and it screamed wealth and sophistication, which he knew Karen would never be able to resist. She had an eye for luxurious things, and he doubted she was any different now. After he had put on the tuxedo and slipped in the n
There were four men sitting in the dimly lit room. It was afternoon, but the whole room was almost pitch black, yet they all knew themselves. Three of the four men sat huddled around the table and it was clear from the looks on their faces that they were frustrated and disappointed. They were the hired assassins from the local gang who had been tasked to eliminate Andrew Raine, but it was clear from the foregoing that their mission had hit a snag. Their employer, who was dressed in a tuxedo, cleared his throat, not.looking quite happy. He had gone to sleep last night with a smile, hoping that he would wake up to the news this morning, but it was afternoon, and he hadn't heard anything yet. He had to call an impromptu meeting and find out what was wrong. He was a man used to getting what he wanted and however he wanted it, so the failure of his hired guns wasn't something he was going to take lightly, never! The assassins exchanged glances before one of them, a burly man with a scar
