[If the host finds the gem within the given time then the host will be saved]Authur laughed at himself, was he that stupid to think that the system would give him everything he wanted for free?It was just a game afterall, and he would do everything he could to find the gem.Authur sighed deeply, "I'm ready" [Host will become the chosen character and will not appear to the real world as his usual self]"Why?" Authur asked, there was a disgusted look on his face.[Rules] The metallic voice replied plainly.Authur thought for a while, if the system didn't allow him to look like himself, then what would he look like?"Can I choose a character?" [Unfortunately, the host doesn't have the permission to choose a character of its choice][The system will randomly select a character for the host]A sneer formed on Authur's face, if the system was a human then it would have probably seen his icy glare."Can I use my abilities?" Authur asked the system, just to be sure he had some kind of bac
Now Authur needed to find a way to enter the hotel without the guard noticing him.He sighed deeply, there was absolutely no way he could get in there without being noticed.How sure was he that the hidden gem was inside the hotel?Authur checked the time on the broken watch in his hand, about forty-five minutes had passed and he still had over an hour left.If only he knew where the gem was, then he would have taken it without breaking a sweat, but his system was very smart and it was possible that the gem was hidden in a place no one could imagine.Authur didn't follow the entrance of the hotel this time, he sneaked to the back of the building without the guard seeing him.He gaze around the vicinity and saw that no one was around, it was just quiet and dark."Activate movement skill" Authur commanded but he wasn't feeling anything."System what's wrong? My movement skill isn't working" Authur raised his brow in confusion.[It's an ability and it doesn't work by saying it. You have
"Are you still doubting my abilities? Give me the box now!" Authur's said in an authoritative tone."No! This box is mine, you fool!" Rudy said with a clenched fist, the gem in the box was enough to change his life forever and he wasn't willing to give it to some man who appeared to be a ghost."That is not even a real gem, I own a jewelry company and no gem looks like that," Authur said, trying to convince Rudy to let it go.Rudy laughed out loud " How can you own a jewelry company? You are a pauper and you can never own a jewelry company, you can't even own a jewelry store." he held the box closely "You fool! I know it isn't a popular gem and that is why I am keeping it, this is a rare gem that would make me the richest man in the world!" The other two men already ran away and left Rudy behind, they ran as fast as they could and neither of the two bothered to look back."Cowards!" Rudy cussed under his breath, he held the box firmly in his hand, even though he was terrified of Auth
The next day Authur received a text message from an unknown number. It wasn't the first time the unknown number had texted him.Today, he decided that he would find out who the person was and make them regret ever joking around with him.It wasn't like the person was a secret admirer, or could it be Josephine?The text messages were always short and the user mostly asked about Authur's well-being.But today was different, he was determined to find out who the person was, so they arranged to meet at La Vuger coffee shop.Authur didn't text the user back, instead, he asked his driver to immediately take him to the coffee shop.On their way, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about who the unknown person was.At first, he had been ignoring the messages but the user hinted that she was a female, Authur's hand was cold and his suspicion led him to believe that the unknown user was Josephine.But she could have used her number if she was the one, it wasn't like he wouldn't reply to her a
"Please wait for me" Josephine panted heavily as she ran to meet Authur.Authur was about to enter the car when he felt her little hands on his. He yanked it away fiercely."Just listen to me please" Josephine held his hand again.This time he didn't yank it away like he did, instead, he turned to face her."What do you want?" Authur shot her a dirty glare.Josephine bowed her head down in shame, she played with her fingers for a while and thought about how to explain it to him."Are you deaf? If you don't have anything to say then get out of my way" Authur shouted, already mad at her for being quiet.A part of him wanted to hear what she had to say and another part of him was so angry at her."He is my patient!" "Do you think I am a fool? I saw it! You wanted to make a fool out of me and that's why you messaged me to come here today" Authur raised his brow as if questioning her."I didn't message you, what are you talking about?" Josephine asked softly."I didn't even know that you w
"Do you forgive me?" Josephine felt his warm breath on her back.The hug lasted for a while and Authur finally broke free."No" Authur faked a frown." just kidding! How can I ever get mad at you? Miss cutie" Josephine blushed lightly, she tucked her hair behind her ear and looked away from Authur."I wonder who the unknown user is. I just can't stop thinking about it." Authur took in a deep breath, he just couldn't connect the dots.If Josephine wasn't the one, then who could it be?"Maybe Dylan? I'm not sure" Josephine hesitated for a brief moment before she said. " I caught him looking at your social profile." Authur remained silent and refrained from speaking, he gave Josephine a sad smile before looking away.If Dylan was the one who had been messing up with him then he would teach the man a great lesson and make him regret it."Stop the car!" Authur ordered his driver and the man immediately hit the brakes.The driver's name was Kelvin, he had been working for Authur, for the
Dylan scoffed"Have you come back to beg?" Josephine's eyes darted back and forth, talking to Dylan was of no use."Why did you treat my son that way?" Mr Cooper stared at her with such intensity that could make her vanish.Mr Cooper yelled as she opened her mouth to say something."Can't you see how injured he is? Mr Maxwell beat him up just because of you! You are very shameless! Apologize to my son now!" Josephine intertwined her fingers, she knew Mr Cooper would support his son and honestly she was expecting it.She didn't come there to beg, all she wanted was to take her belongings and drop her resignation letter."I am sorry. I came here to drop my resignation letter." Josephine walked forward and placed the neatly folded sheet of paper on the desk.Dylan felt angry as he saw the letter, he looked at her and then looked back at his father."What's the meaning of this?" Mr Cooper angrily threw the paper at her. "What's this? Do you think a silly piece of paper is enough to fix th
"Mr Maxwell, we can talk about this. Please have a seat and let's discuss" Mr Cooper smiled even though he was hurting.Dylan was beyond shocked, he clenched his fist so hard and didn't notice that his knuckles had already gone pale."Stay out of this Dylan" Mr Cooper warned, not wanting him to screw it up again.Authur said casually. "Is there anything you want to say, Mr Cooper? You have just five minutes to speak." Mr Cooper swallowed back his spit, he wasn't prepared for that and he never expected the new owner to be Mr Maxwell."Can you please give us a week…we are not really prepared for this." Mr Cooper stammered as he spoke.Authur gave him a look of disdain. "Are you trying to go against my orders?" "No, it's just that I need some time to announce to the press and inform them about the new ownership of Angel's Haven." Mr Cooper tried his best to convince him.Authur snapped at him. "Twenty-four hours, you have less than twenty-four hours to get things done! I don't care how
"We have a clear winner! Miss Lily is the winner of the duel" The man shouted again and walked towards Lilly, raising her hands up in a victorious manner.Lilly still couldn't believe what had just happened, her mind struggled to process it.She had won even after losing hope, even when she was on the brink of giving up.She glanced at the sword, eyeing it like it was some type of savior.There was something different about the sword and she knew it.It was just as mysterious as her boss, now she respected him more. It was obvious that Authur knew things that an ordinary human didn't know."That can't be possible," Roshan stood up, his face distorted as he stared at Lilly, pointing an accusing finger at her. "She must have cheated, I caught her cheating. Arrest her for cheating in a serious situation, we can't accept any form of cheating."Lord Bryon whose face was all smiles frowned at his brother's display of stupidity.It was obvious that the young lady had won fair and square and
Rodrigo was livid, his face red with anger as he watched Lilly taunt him like a pathetic child. He felt his temper boiling over, the rage within him threatening to spill out at any moment.Fury consumed him, and Rodrigo rushed forward, his dagger raised in a deadly arc as he swung it toward Lilly.But to Rodrigo's dismay, Lilly was quick on her feet and darted out of the way, her leg lashing out in a powerful kick. She hoped to knock him off his feet, but he remained steadfast.Rodrigo only grew more enraged, seething at the trickery and taunting of his opponent. He was sick of the games, and he was ready to end it all.He was determined to win, to emerge victorious and leave this fight as the only one standing. He would do whatever it took to achieve that goal, no matter the cost."A waste of beauty, you will pay for your insolence!" Rodrigo roared, throwing two daggers in quick succession at Lilly. His fury gave him strength.The daggers flew through the air, spinning with such speed
"Lord Byron, Roshan, and his people have arrived." A young man with honey-blonde hair stood respectfully at the entrance of the door. He dared not look at Lord Byron or his guests in the face so he bowed down his head."How many of them are here?" Lord Byron asked with a hint of emotion, he looked over at Authur and surprisingly his worries were swept away under Authur's serious expression.Grey sighed."Roshan and ten of his abled men, they are at the arena." Grey had been working for Lord Byron since he was little, his parents used to work for Lord Byron but they died in a ghastly car accident.Ever since then, Grey had to live in the Royal house and he was lucky to be one of Lord Byron's trusted swordsmen."Alright, leave." Lord Byron waved him off."May I say something?" Grey intertwined his fingers and looked up to meet Lord Byron's gaze."Go ahead " "I want to participate in this fight," Grey said with the confidence that he never knew he had.He had been friends with Princess
The car came to a sudden halt.Authur collected the phone from her and scrutinized the picture thoroughly."When did this all happen?" He thought to himself. Authur gave a half smile, trying not to think about it. She must have missed him and decided to post a picture of them together."It's a cute picture of us" Author winked at Lilly and then started to drive the car.In less than two hours they arrived at the royal house, where Lord Byron and his daughter lived.The guards were already informed of their arrival so they allowed them in.Authur and Lilly went into a meeting room where they saw Lord Byron and Princess Marie."Welcome Mr. Maxwell, it is a pleasure to meet you again. Take a seat." Lord Byron had a smile on his face, his brow creased when he saw the red-haired lady beside Mr Maxwell, his daughter never told him anything about a lady accompanying Mr. Maxwell.Authur sat down opposite Lord Byron when he saw the confused expression on Lord Byron's face, he explained. "She i
Josephine's eyes fluttered open, her vision was a little bit blurry but it soon became normal."Authur" Josephine called, her eyes scanning the room. He was nowhere to be found.She sighed when she did not see any traces of him. Josephine stood up from the bed with the sheets held close to her body, she was going to look for him in the bathroom but when she checked she got disappointed.On her way out of the bathroom, she saw a note coupled with a meal on the little table that was in the room."I didn't want to wake you up so I left. I also made breakfast for you, the tea will help to ease the pain between your legs especially." She read out aloud and her cheeks flushed, the images from last night flashed before her eyes.He was right, she was feeling a slight discomfort between her legs. Her face turned to the bedsheet and she saw a little drop of blood, her heart fluttered at the sight of it.Lilly on the other hand was holding her mother's hands, after getting the call from the d
"Yes"Josephine stood up, swaying her hips in a seducing way, her heart was beating rapidly and her hands were a little cold.Authur was standing there, he could not take it anymore, all he wanted was to tear her clothes and have her right there.He wanted her to moan his name while buried in deep pleasure. Authur grabbed her by her waist, it was like he had been completely possessed by a demon.He couldn't think straight. Swiftly, he tore the dress on her body with his hand and exposed her in only underwear."Wow!" He muttered, eyeing her hourglass figure and her full round breast."I need to control myself, I will not hurt her," Authur told himself repeatedly.Josephine on the other hand felt her body get hotter, she could feel the wetness on her upper thighs."Do you want this? I can't promise to not hurt you, we can stop before it gets too late." Authur warned in a husky voice, he was trying his best to not break his last thread of restraint."Don't stop even if I say so, I want
"Marie, inform your dad that we will be arriving tomorrow, I will call my driver to drive you home tonight." After saying that, he brought out his cell phone and dialed a number, instructing the man to come to Himpton Hotel.After they finished discussing the plan, the driver arrived and drove Princess Marie to her home.He had gotten into the Bugatti Veyron when the passenger seat opened and Josephine entered.Now was the time to speak to him about their relationship, Authur was hers and they needed to start acting like a couple, and not hide things from each other."Babe, who is Lilly?" Authur was shocked by the sudden question, he didn't want to tell her about Lilly yet but now wasn't the time to hide anything from her. Except for the fact that he had a system, he didn't mind telling her about anything other than that."Lilly is a friend, as a matter of fact, I'm her boss." Authur's words were sharp and blunt.Josephine nodded her head, she didn't want to make him uncomfortable. B
Inside a private room in Himpton HotelAuthur, Josephine, and Princess Marie were in a brightly illuminated room.Princess Marie, who was sitting beside Josephine the whole time could not help but avoid Authur's gaze.Luckily, Josephine was here to help her talk to him."What are you both doing in Himpton Hotel?" Authur said with a serious expression on his face.Princess Marie's eyes were a bit swollen, and tears streamed down her cheeks, she began talking in a muffled tone, "Mr Maxwell, I first want to apologize for last time we met, I was being an asshole." She paused, taking in a deep breath before continuing, "I didn't mean to, I did not mean for this to happen, I promise." Authur's eyes darted back and forth as he looked at his girlfriend and Marie, he didn't know when the two of them became friends, maybe they met in his absence. That was the only explanation he could think of. Although he harbored no hatred towards Princess Marie, he just didn't fancy her much and felt like s
At Lifesurge HospitalTime 6:30 pmAuthur was sitting in the reception with a facemask on, he didn't want people to recognize him as it could cause unnecessary attention.Since he was free and had nothing to do, he decided to check his phone and play some games, but before then he checked the message app and discovered that he had over a hundred messages from different people.The one that caught his attention most was Josephine's. When he opened the message, it was mostly about her asking for his welfare and random greetings.He was just about to close the message tab when another message popped in.After texting Josephine back, he closed his phone and kept his attention back to the room that he was expecting Lilly to come out from."What is going on, why haven't you started the operation?" Authur said as he walked closer to where Lilly and the doctor were standing."Sir, this lady over
