The private room was silent for a few seconds before someone spoke up."What was that I heard? Jonah has really received....ten...ten thousand dollars?" The girl who spoke sent an incredulous gaze towards Peter with a slacked jaw.It wasn't just a few hundred dollars, but actually ten thousand dollars, and Peter had given it so casually.They had looked down on Peter and had even laughed mockingly at him, now bringing out such a large amount that they haven't even seen before, wasn't that sending a resounding slap to their face?Baron who was anticipating humiliating Peter and impressing his former classmates was enraged."Where did you get that money? Don't tell me you got tired of selling scraps so you decided to go stealing instead." It had come as an incredible shock to him that he couldn't come to terms with the fact that Peter was even better off now after how brutally he used to make fun of him in high school."What do you mean by that Baron? Pete clearly met the requirements
Sasha who had been clinging to Baron felt embarrassed seeing him fall into a weak state.Was this kind of man even worthy of her?Glancing up at Peter who had a composed air around him, she felt admiration for him soar into her.He must have a heavy bank.And now that she looked at him properly, she realized he was actually really good looking. And the calm air around him made him look nonchalantly domineering. This was the kind of man worthy of being with her. Looking at Baron on the floor all she felt was embarrassment, she had even wasted her time trying to curry favor to him. Standing up from her seat she began to go towards the chair next to Peter.Everyone looked at her and couldn't help but find themselves envying Peter.All the guys hadn't dared to approach Sasha because she had been with Baron.A few of them had even rejoiced that Baron was at least out of the way and they could get to ask for Sasha's number before leaving, however seeing Sasha aiming for Peter, they all
"Isn't that a BMW?""Not just any BMW, that's the newest M3. Do you even know how much it costs?" They were all still watching in awe forgetting they had come out to apologize when the car drove off. "Che! All of you were calling him a scrap seller. Whether he sells scraps or trash, none of you can still afford to buy such a car." Someone suddenly said angrily, "I should have just taken his side when you all were picking him, at least I'd have a big shot for a friend."All they could feel was regret, if they had known they would have been friendlier to Peter, at least then he would have been on friendly terms with them, but they had sided with those bullies Jonah and Baron.They watched the car drive off into the road everyone thinking about how they could have done things differently."That was so cool Pete, I never thought a day would come where I would see that big bully Baron reduced down to his knees."Peter smiled, "Bullies deserve to be given a taste of their own medicine. Yo
The temperature in the cramped room seemed to drop. Peter's eyes chilled as he glared at the men rushing towards him.Peter could feel the powerful aura coming from the men around him.He could tell they wouldn't be easy opponents.All the three men had a large build coupled with an innate heavy aura that made them evoke fear from anyone around them.Peter however remained standing with his hands behind his back as the men attacked him.He quickly blocked off a punch from one of the men then threw a kick to another but he dodged it.They fought calculatively, Peter realized. He hadn't needed to make much of an effort when fighting Zane at the university's fighting grounds, he hadn't exerted effort at all with Harry's men, but these three seemed like they would be quite difficult to fend off.However, all he could feel was a rush of excitement flowing through him. It would be great to finally fight with worthy opponents.Pulling up his sleeves, Peter took a fighting stance.The air i
"Does it matter who I am?" Peter looked unhurt, the kick he had received just a while ago that had sent him crashing against the door should have made his insides coil and render him unable to even stand.However he wasn't just standing but had also been able to fight and beat Tigerclaw.The man gaped at Peter with astonishment.'This can't be, only one person can have that ability.'"Please, tell me who you are!" The arrogance had disappeared from Tigerclaw's face as he asked with a tinge of desperation in his voice.Peter frowned suspiciously.Why was this man looking at him like that? Could it be he had showed a little too much of his power and revealed his system?Peter knew that the system he possessed was ultimate power.Not just did it give him wealth beyond compare but it gave him a kind of power that other people didn't possess, if the system's existence got revealed to the world lot of people would come for him.Power was great but also very dangerous, he had to protect the
Peter stepped out of the car without a word and began walking up the steps into the residential area.Billy's father also followed along."Pete, though this money is a lot, it won't be enough for such a grand place. How about we drive back downtown and pick a more affordable living space." The man suggested.Peter wasn't from this city, so he had probably mistaken the pricing of the Lakeview exclusive residences. Houses here were stacked according to grades. A grade one residence was priced at about ten million and above. And a grade ten residence could be priced at a few hundred thousands.But regardless of that each house here was extremely pricy.Having lost almost everything, the small family wouldn't be able to afford such a high standard of living, they'd much rather go back to a familiar place. "Yes Peter, you don't have to trouble yourself, since you and Billy still have a long journey back to Landville you can just leave my husband and I to go house hunting, we're very fam
Peter blinked a few times wondering if he had heard her right.Everyone present widened their eyes staring at the woman in unexpected shock.A few of the guards behind the woman awkwardly cleared their throats.'Can you be less embarrassing? You were just insulting the guy a second ago and now you're smitten by him?''Isn't this guy at least a few years younger than you are? Are you seeking a man or a little pet?' The woman however seemed unbothered by all the strange stares circulating around her.She continued to stare at Peter with interest shining in her eyes."What do you say, do you agree?"Peter came back to his senses, his face suddenly became hot in embarrassment.What did this woman mean by becoming her little kept man?"I'm sorry, go find someone else." Saying this Peter quickly walked away.He felt extremely uncomfortable at how the woman was staring at him like a delicious treat ready to be devoured. What was this sudden change of situation? He would much rather she rem
Peter frowned unable to understand how his card could have been declined."Can you please try it again one more time?" He asked the young assistant.Margaret Roberts chuckled shaking her head, "Don't fool yourself young man, you were just playing hard to get with me by playing this facade. They sell a black card sticker at cheap stores for people who want to go around showing off and claiming to be wealthy. This card won't work even if it was tried ten times." Peter didn't reply waiting for the assistant to swipe the card again.The young assistant entered the numbers and swiped the card once more, a big red cancel sign showed on the screen along with some words underneath.She glanced up at Peter awkwardly."Sir, there aren't enough sufficient funds on this card." The agent frowned, "Sir, did you come here claiming to buy a house without having enough money for it? My time is extremely precious, I could have attended to many other clients but you have completely wasted my time." P
