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
The opening party of the Ozilla Empire Corporation proceeded without a hitch, and soon it was time for the clan heads and heirs to move on to the mini auction house. A lot of people complained saying what quality product will a greenhorn in the business world have that will gain their attention. Nevertheless they still followed behind the gold suit clothed man who was exuding a confident aura.Inside the mini auction house, the family heads and echelons stayed on one side inside separate rooms while the scions and heirs stayed on another side, also in separate rooms. Maximus had recruited a commoner who seemed to be talented in the art of persuasion. The auctioneer, a thin blond man who had a few freckles on his face, mounted the podium and gazed at the intimidating faces of everyone seated inside their various rooms. Maximus had also recruited several Tech ability users and light element users to not only provide the technology needed for security and bidding, but also to lighten the
Leaving the mini auction house, the guests proceeded to the music studio as many of them marveled at the top notch equipments they saw at the studio. Maximus and Esther had it all planned as they sought to milk all these rich cows dry.As the guests were observing the equipments, Esther went into an enclosed glass cubicle which was set specifically for musicians. She took the headset, connected the microphone and tapped on it to get everyone's attention, which it certainly did. The tech ability users responsible for handling equipments in the studio got everything ready in a flash, then a sweet melodic instrumental beat flowed out, it sounded soothing and inspiring, but what got the guests hooked was when Esther used her light ability and began to glow like an angel, then she opened her mouth and spewed out an awe inspiring song...“I will run, I will climb, I will soar...I'm undefeated ooh,Jumping out of my skin pull the chord.Yeah I believe it.The past is everything we were,But
Maximus had just received a boon in strength and he couldn't wait to check it out. He left Esther gaping at him while he hurried back to the suite. Laying down on a gold colored sofa, he summoned the system.“Show me my status window” Maximus said with excitement clearly shown on his face.«As you wish Host.»«Ding!Host: Maximus Akkris GayleRace: HumanStatus: All for oneStrength: 100Agility: 100Stamina: 100Perception: 100Skills: Knowledge of King Arthur; martial arts and weapons mastery (Lv3), Knowledge of Loki; deceitful charms (Lv4) copycat (Lv0), Knowledge of Lykoi; system coins Exchange (Lv1) Fortune appraisal (Lv2).

Maximus lay on his King-size bed as the event of the day flashed through his mind. After getting a new quest from the system, he had asked the system the amount of system coins needed to upgrade it to 2.0, the system's response was a bit disheartening. Ten thousand system coins were needed to upgrade it to 2.0 and Maximus had only 2,500 system coins.Sigh! If only there was a mission that would yield a bountiful amount of system coins, he would grab onto it without a second thought.Ring! The telephone beside the bed rang, who could it be at this hour of the night, Maximus groaned, got up and took the phone.“Hello?” Maximus spoke into the mouthpiece.“Hello Mister Gold, sorry to disturb your sleep but I have urgent news which I thought you would want to hear.” Esther's voice sounded from the receiver.“What news? What happened?” this time Maximus sprang up from the bed, the thought of his company being robbed or his employees being harassed came into his mind.“The young master of th

From what he believed, he should be able to get one year of use out of these gloves, but these w
