Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 017: Job Hunt
"Then what do you want?"Brooklyn thought perhaps a job or a mansion or some land after all the reports about him stated he was very poor and there was no info about his job.However, she didn't expect him to say, "I just want my father to be taken care of.""Huh?" Brooklyn's beautiful eyes glimmered with puzzlement."I am not financially stable now and can't afford my father's medical expenses. You just have to help me take care of that," He raised two fingers."I swear I'll pay back as soon as I can stand on my feet. Besides, accepting your money like this just for a small marriage agreement makes me feel like a man kept by a woman."The few millions Grandfather Hernandez gave him wouldn't last long and he is currently jobless so this is the only way he can think of."Is that all?" Brooklyn's mouth formed an 'O' in astonishment and he nodded, waiting patiently for her response.After a moment of silence, she gave him an expressionless look. "You are weird."Other men would have acted
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 018: Break His Legs!
When Levi was led to the waiting area, everyone's eyes fell upon him but then they looked away as they didn't recognize him.The people also waiting for the job application were undergraduates who had studied at various distinguished universities and knew one or two other persons there.But Levi... He graduated from a local college and slaved away at The Chronicle so he wasn't popular hence causing him to be isolated from others.Noticing their degrading attitudes, he quietly found a seat closer to the door and waited patiently for his turn.There was a long queue as the print media company was also fairly popular just like The Chronicle.Levi noticed applicants that walked in all came out one after the other with sad or tearful expressions but he didn't fret.The queue was gradually reduced until one of the applicants who had been acting haughtily earlier walked out of the board room with a wide smile.People around quickly gathered to fawn over him."I knew you would pass.""Look at
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 019: Ambushed
Tap.Tap.Tap.Levi was quick to notice the footsteps behind him just as he got out of the company although they tried hard not to arouse attention.His eyes flickered with a cold light. He must have offended that thin boss just now. But sending people against him after denying him a job... Isn't that too petty?"Ha, I never expected our prey to be so foolish. He walked right into our trap. I bet we'll finish him off in thirty seconds," One of the thugs laughed lightly as Levi suddenly took a turn off the main road and walked into an alley."Yes, don't forget the instructions. We have to break his legs and make sure he is carried back home today. How dare he provoke our boss?"Pak!With his left hand, Levi stops the rod that attacked him from behind."Hey you bastard! Let go!" He turned around to see the thug behind him struggling to collect the rod.The other five thugs were surprised. They didn't expect Levi to be so vigilant.One of them laughed coldly, "You are quite impressive but
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 020: The Ring's Origin
"Are you sure about this? Look at the image closely," The man urged his friend. The grocer peered at the image and flicked his fingers."Sam, I cannot be mistaken about this. I have—" His words trailed off when he finally realized where he had seen it.Wasn't this the same ring he and Levi tried to pull off the other night but refused to come off?"Wait, why do you have this?" He squinted at Sam."This is my new research. This artifact is quite special and whoever is able to produce it for the museum will receive a handsome reward."'It isn't safe to tell too many people about the true origin of the Versatilian Band,' Sam thought as he looked at the ring's image with a profound look. 'If they get to know, it possesses special powers such as allowing the wearer to rapidly acquire proficiency in various skills or enabling the wearer to quickly grasp and excel in a wide range of talents, making them a master of many trades... It might fall into the wrong hands.'Sam tapped on the file ab
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 021: Worthless Lowlife
"There's only two of us here. Who else could I be talking to?" Jasmine rolled her eyes."Oh," Levi's nonchalant words and expressions caught her off guard. She frowned and gritted her teeth."What do you mean by that? What are you even doing here? Has the standards of this restaurant dropped so low that they even allow riffraffs in?""Miss!" The receptionist cuts in with a displeased look, completely different from the polite one she gave Levi earlier."Shut up," Jasmine shot her a glare. "You are just a mere receptionist. How dare you disrupt our conversation? Do you have any etiquette for your job?""At least, she has simple etiquette to know when a customer is being disrespectful unlike some people that just speak without thinking.""How dare you?" Jasmine clenched her fists. She gave his appearance a disgusted look."I am better than someone that relied on his wife's resources and greedily held on even after knowing he is not her worth. I will never understand what Zoey saw in you
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 022: The Boss Or A VIP Member?
"Honey, why did you—" Jasmine fumbled but was interrupted. Her companion gave her a fierce gaze and demanded again,"Apologize!"Jasmine's face turned red with grievance and she stubbornly raised her chin, "I won't apologize. I have done nothing wrong."The man shook his head at her foolishness and hurriedly turned to Brooklyn with a submissive look.He startled Jasmine by bowing for Brooklyn. "Young miss, please forgive my woman. She was just being impetuous and didn't know this man is your person. We'll leave right away."He recognized Brooklyn but the latter didn't recognize him after all she met a lot of people every day.But people like Jasmine who were from the lower class obviously don't have a chance to know who Brooklyn is as she has lived a private life from the media and only few high class people were familiar with her.Jasmine went ahead to prove just how stupid she was by pulling her lover."Why are you apologizing to this woman? They should be the ones apologizing to us.
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 023: Unleashing More Abilities
Everyone waited patiently as Levi skimmed through the menu. The three men in particular were intrigued, paying rapt attention to him, trying to see if he could elevate their impressions of him even more."We'll have..." Levi finally passed the menu back to the waiter who prepared to jot down the orders."Oysters with champagne sabayon and lobster with black truffle risotto."The men exchanged glances as the glint in their eyes dimmed. Is that all? They expected better from him yet he didn't even add some luxurious Spanish dishes.Brooklyn could sense their disappointment and she gritted her teeth anxiously."Is that all sir?" The waiter looked up but Levi sat back with a carefree manner and shook his head."No. We'll also have Paella Valenciana, ajoblanco and pulpo a la gallega. For the dessert, add tarta de santiago. Don't forget to add your finest bottle of château petrus and anís del mono.""Your orders will be delivered to you right away sir."As the waiter turned away, the men fin
