In a dark alley, a battered trashcan lay bare as its contents were littered on the tarred floor, four unconscious youths lay on the floor as well, whereas the star attraction was the black-haired youth with blue eyes who kept grinning for no good reason.“Host can copy up to ten different abilities from different entities and humans. Host must have physical body contact with the set person, then utter the command to copy, host must stay within reach of the set person for ten seconds to completely copy the ability.”The system's response seemed to be the greatest news Maximus had ever heard since his birth.“Ten different abilities! that will make me once in a zillion years prodigy. I will surpass even Daniel.” but then he stopped smiling and thought more about this.“No, that will create problems for me. I have to lay low and act normal as I have been, while I secretly build myself.” with half a plan in mind, Maximus decides to return to the company building, but first, he still needs
Maximus could be seen seated inside an enclosed glass cubicle typing furiously on the keyboard of a desktop computer. He was so concentrated on whatever he was doing that he became oblivious to those around him.“Why can't I break down the firewall of the Orlan family security system?” Maximus queried. He had decided to rob a first-tier family just as the system tasked him to do, and he had chosen the Orlan family clan, why? Because Ronald Orlan has been a very big bully and jerk, and now Maximus wants revenge, and guess what? He's getting it legally... well by the system means that it.“This is one of the times I wish I was a tech ability user or I had one at my disposal. fuck this crazy shit!” he cursed again. He's been trying to hack into the Orlan family clan's security system for almost four hours with zero luck.“Alright, inputting the bypass authorization code here, here and here. I hope this works this time.” Maximus prayed to whatever god was out there watching him.Ding! The
The next day at work, a lot of the employees were gathering in groups and speaking in hushed tones, their topic was none other than the break-in at the Orlan family clan mansion. Many stipulated it was a saint-rank invisibility ability user while others said it was a grandmaster illusion ability user, but the main perpetrator was grinning at himself inside an enclosed glass cubicle.“System, add fourteen points to strength, nine points to agility, eleven points to stamina, and five points to perception.” Maximus said.“That will be thirty nine system coins.” replied the system.“Take it. Now I am truly comparable to a beginner Master-rank fighter.” he smiled at himself.“If I face against Daniel now with my current stats I can beat him to pulp, well, only problem will be that fire ability of his.” Maximus thought aloud.“Now I have the resources I need to start a company, I have to do it far from here. It seems I will have to visit the library again. In the meantime, System show me my
[TWO WEEKS LATER]Triton City.A BMW X7 can be seen stopping in front of a five-star hotel, the driver steps out and opens the back door, and out comes the most gorgeous man ever seen; dark blond curly hair, immaculate shaped oval face with a square jaw, ruby lips, gold coloured eyes and well toned tall body, his surpassed all sexy models in all of Triton City. Dressed in a custom-made golden suit, he strolled into the hotel, heading straight for the receptionist.“Hello Miss.” the man said with a smile that can make a thousand girls faint.“He..hello..sir” the female receptionist struggled to speak as she was mesmerized by the gorgeousness of the man in front of her.“Is the suite free? I will need it,” he said, his smile still on his face.“Of course Sir. Your name Sir?” she replied with her head down so as not to lose focus on the handsome face of this man.“Ozilla, Ozilla Gold is my name,” he replied still smiling.“Thank you, Sir. Here's your key Sir,” she said handing him a set
The next day Maximus thought it was best to establish himself as soon as possible, thus he left the hotel and decided to return to the bank, he aimed to enquire about the possibility of buying a company building and a house. He didn't want to go to any agency as that would cost him more.Maximus called his driver after he had his shower and breakfast, then he picked up a new gold suit, wore his pair of gold shoes and then went to the elevator which took him downstairs. His driver was waiting for him in the reception lobby.“Good morning Mister Gold Sir, where do you wish to go today?” the driver, a bald-haired middle-aged man, was of common blood with no affinity to any element whatsoever.“Morning George, take me to the bank. It's important.” Maximus said with the air of a rich businessman.“Right this way sir.” the driver gestured to the car outside.Maximus walked to the gold-coloured BMW X7, he had specifically money to get it painted yesterday, for now, this will do, he plans to
Maximus was now headed to an Estate management agency. Esther had told him that if he wanted to buy a house, they were his best bet. The gold-colored BMW X7 cruised through the city of Triton and entered the Gonzalez district, this district was owned by the Gonzalez family clan, they were known to be formidable and unrestrained, one could think of them as a Mexican gangster family.“Be careful, the Gonzalez family controls this district, they are known to be shrewd and sometimes they tend to extort money from rising rich men,” Esther advised.“Don't worry. The agency is just a few more blocks from here, right?” Maximus asked while swerving from the disturbing topic.“Yes Sir,” she replied but she still wasn't at ease. Maximus could feel her emotions bubbling, he gazed at her hands and saw they were balled up into fists.“What tragedy did you suffer in this area?” Maximus asked her.“Huh!?” Esther stuttered taken aback by Maximus' question.“Something happened to you here, Am I right?”
Maximus and Esther drove towards the Nobles District. All houses and villas in this district were owned only by the truly wealthy, and security in this district was tight. The gold-coloured BMW X7 stopped in front of a well-fenced villa standing on six acres of land with a fountain in the middle, its floor was covered with well-trimmed carpet grass.“Truly worth the two hundred million trium I paid,” Maximus commented with a smile on his face.“Come, Esther, let us take a tour of our new home,” Maximus said as he walked towards the entrance while Esther stood rooted at the spot as Maximus' words shocked her.“Our.. our!?” Esther stuttered. Maximus turned around and faced her with a smile on his face.“Did you think I am heartless as to take your family's company and then leave you to fend for yourself?” Maximus asked her.“But you paid for it fair and square.” Esther clarified.“Come on in with me Esther, let's go check our new home,” Maximus repeated and went in as if he did not hear
Early the next morning. Maximus was dressed in his immaculate gold suit, a gold wristwatch on his left wrist, his dark blond curly hair was combed to the back and tied with a golden ribbon giving him a small ponytail, a golden hairpin was inserted in his ponytail, Maximus looked every inch a rich European Prince. Meanwhile, Esther's mother led her out to the field where Maximus was waiting for her, she looked so stunning. Dressed in a silk-satin evening dress with a V neckline which left her arms and shoulders exposed, plus it emphasized her bosom. She wore a golden circlet that appeared to be made out of small camellias woven together, in a word, she looked like a 'Fairy Princess'. Maximus had spared no expense on getting her the best fashion Triton had to offer, he felt he had to make her smile always, which has been what he had been doing ever since he brought her to his villa, he also knew she would be a great help to him in future.“Wow! You look stunning! Your gorgeous figure an
