"She talked to me," Tristan's mother kept reminding herself even while they were already out of the orphanage home and inside the car. The thought of having Ariana around her daily was driving her insane and she couldn't wait for the adoption process to be over.As for Tristan, while his mother was making friends with the little girl, he was discussing with the manager, which ended with the usual statement,"send me the orphanage home's account details,"Once that was done, he made the transfer of one million dollars as per the system's instructions, and before leaving, he reminded the manager to get an estimate of the cost of television and air conditioner installation. He also inquired about the young boy named Tomy, but after the record was checked, there was no child in the orphanage named Tomy. "Mom, you have been talking about this since we got out of the orphanage, what exactly did you two discuss?" Tristan asked, his tone filled with curiosity as to what made his mother so ecs
It was as if the days were going by very quickly, the meeting with the company ended successfully, but there were no conclusions on whether or not there'd be a partnership.He returned home that night to see that his mother had made a lot of changes to the third room upstairs, it had been repainted in his absence to a distinct purple color with illustrations of flowers and butterflies on the wall, but the work was not finished and Tristan assumed that it would be finished the next day. The bed has been replaced with a more sizeable one for a child Ariana's age, the chandelier was also changed to look more childlike with butterflies dangling from it, emitting colorful lights.There was also a vanity set with an oval-shaped mirror and a makeup kit, even though she was not sure how well Ariana knew about makeup, Tristan's mother added it to the renovation to teach her."Quite some work you did," Tristan remarked."I always wanted to have a room like this for your sister Tracy, it would
/Loading.../Clue one- Having been wiped off by the large body of water twice within ten years, this settlement remains crowded//Clue two- Of the poorest tribe among the indigenes//Clue three- ( Produce a bucket of milk) - ( Opposite of the truth) - ( The alphabet's alpha) - ( Before the alphabet's omega)/Goodluck host/"Is this some kind of joke?" Tristan asked with his eyes widened in shock."How's this supposed to help me? what the fuck is the opposite of the truth? and milk? how does that even help?" he ranted continuously but the system did not respond."It's confusing," he said, calming his nerves."System can you break it down?" /Breaking it down any further only reveals the answer to the puzzles, rather than doing that, the system could as well as give you the location right away/" That's what I asked for though, this is a hard puzzle, where do I even start? "/Focus on the task, sub-quest comes afterward/Tristan wasn't still settled, he concluded within himself that
"I couldn't stand it, why does life have to treat them unfairly, these are children," Tristan's mother sobbed sitting in the car, Harry had run out of words to say to stop her from crying but she wouldn't."Truth is, there is nothing more that can be done but to show them some love, their situations cannot be changed but they can be managed and that's what the orphanage had done, they seem happy," Harry said, unable to find any other word to say.While talking, Tristan came back into the car, seeing his mother crying was unsettling but he understood why, he felt bad that she had to be in this situation but it was not within his powers to control how she felt."They'll be fine," this was all Tristan said, his voice dripping with sympathy."I saw an ambulance leaving, what happened?" Harry inquired."Just an epileptic child that's all, she's fine though but they'll have to take her to the hospital for further examinations," Tristan answered." Sorry Mom, I know it's hard to watch that f
Once Harry had left, Tristan was on his own, quite a good thing since the system required him to work alone on this mission.The two-hour drive to Palm Bay felt like forever, time went by slowly and Tristan had slept off in the car for about an hour. They stopped halfway through the journey to get something to eat at a restaurant and to avoid unwanted attention, Tristan put on a hat and dark shades.Popularity was the only side of his life that he didn't like at the moment, and what's worse is that there will be more as long as he has the system.After eating, they continued on the endless trail until they got to Palm Bay at exactly 3 p.m.They drove into the little town, filled with many locals. By the name Palm Bay Tristan expected to see a town filled with advanced citizens, little did he know that he was coming to a place just like his hometown in the countryside.The people here placed high priority on their culture and it was visible in the way they related with one another, the
The fight persisted until the Man went flying through the air, falling on his back on the beach sand wincing in pain. There was a loud gasp from the crowd and they all looked in the direction of the man who had such confidence to throw another through the air.Standing tall and energized as usual, Max had stepped into the fight and stopped it abruptly by picking the man up and throwing him towards the water.Even Tristan reacted as the man fell on his back, he couldn't imagine how much pain he must have felt, but he couldn't care less because it was he who started the attack in the first place."I knew it! the lady yelled as she ran to help her husband who could barely get back on his feet." I knew that you rich people are nothing but trouble, with your bodyguards you go around beating people up! " she added.Tristan ignored her and turned to the murmuring and agitated crowd, but most of them were too afraid to come closer to him because of Max." Listen to me, I didn't want to do an
The drive took less than ten minutes until the boy asked them to stop, and then he pointed at a house farther into an area on the left. The pathway was too narrow for cars to drive through."That's their family house," he announced excitedly while waiting for his reward." Thank you," Tristan said to him and took out a box from a compartment in the front seat and gave it to him." here you go," he said, The boy took the box and opened it up without hesitation, an expression of shock was visible on his face as he beheld the amount of money that he had not seen ever in his life."Thank you, thank you so much, this money will help my mom's illness, even though she'll be disappointed because of what I did at the beach, but who cares... you are not one of those wicked rich men sir." Tristan could not help but smile at his statement, and said," Trust me when I tell you that even if a whole county is said to be corrupted, there must be at least one good person in their midst."" You are a
[ A.N- Thank you to those who voted with gems, as I promised, I'd add an extra chapter today, so instead of two chapters you'd get three🥳 Thank you for voting and keep the gems coming remember /10 gems=1 bonus chapter/]_________Day 4~~~~~~The final day of the task, after which Tristan would call it a break. He woke up and as usual, did his morning exercises and after breakfast and showers, everyone was ready to leave the house.The drive to the orphanage took twenty minutes, and as soon as they got inside, the atmosphere was rather vibrant, not that these teenagers played about or ran around like little children, but there was a lot of activity going causing them to pace forward and back."Quite a busy place," Tristan uttered, he had no intentions of seeing or addressing them, all he wanted was to find Tomy, pay a million dollars to the orphanage account, and be on his way."Yes sir, it's always busy here," the manager of the orphanage said, he was an elderly man in his early fif
