Damien was so lost that he had no idea that Charles was talking to him. Charles was trying to get his attention, and one of the waiters was walking towards them. At that same instance, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Leroy was seen walking towards their position. "Gentlemen. What would you like to have? I mean, you've been here for the past thirty minutes. And I couldn't help but notice."The waiter said to both Damien and Charles, sharing his gaze between them. Before Damien or Charles could give a response to the waiter, a voice interrupted, "We were about to leave. Sorry for any inconvenience."It was Leroy, apologising to the waiter. The waiter stayed back for a while. It was as though he was not pleased. Leroy fumbled through his pocket for a while, then brought out a hundred dollar bill. "I don't have anything lower than this. Just take it."When the waiter collected the money, he was sure to turn around to make sure that none of his colleagues caught him t
"How did this happen? And why can't I remember anything that has to do with it?""When did I meet another lady from the past? What's happening to me? What had happened to me?"Damien couldn't use the majority of the skills and features that he had obtained in the past, so it was difficult for him to draw a closure on the present situation. "Charles is my son?"Though it was the fact, yet Damien didn't want to be quick to conclusion. He opened his laptop and started to scroll through. He typed in the search engine,WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE BOLDYVILLE ESTATE AFTER THE DEATH OF DAMIEN?He scrolled through the results that popped up. He couldn't find a result that matched his expectations. BOLDYVILLE: A NEW OWNER?He clicked on the article. He read through for a while. "Dead end."He closed the laptop. "Obviously, there was no one else who was in charge of the Estate when I was gone. I mean, if there was someone, it would have made the front page of the news."He tried to search thro
Damien stepped into the building. It was a living room, but it looked to be unused. It wasn't untidy, neither was it furnished. There was a small chandelier hanging in the ceiling and a frame on the wall to the East. There were three young ladies standing in the middle of the room. Immediately they saw Damien walk in, they bowed to him. "Welcome, Young Master."When Damien got to them, he looked around for a while. Looking back at the ladies, he was met by the words of one of the three,"They told me that they were on their way. I had no idea why we got here before them."The young lady sounded defensive yet concerned. "I'm sure that they would be here any moment from now."The door was pushed open, and five ladies walked in. Immediately, they saw Damien, they were very shocked. Another lady walked in behind them. "Oh my God, he's here.""We are done for."Two of the latecomers almost entered into the skin of the others. They rushed to Damien and fell on their knees. "We are sorr
WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO THEM?Damien looked from one man to another. There was not one of them that was not laughing. It was as though a sort of disease caused by laughter had broken out among them. After a while, the laughter died out. "You must have thought we are uncouth, to really think we would demand your head on a platter as soon as we set our eyes on you."One of the men started. "Is this the first thing that comes to mind whenever you hear them mention our name in the public?"The man laughed. "You must think we are some blood sucking monsters that can't live without having a dip of blood every second.""Perhaps a vampire, if I might say."A light laughter travelled across the hall. Which waned out almost immediately. "You shouldn't stand there."Mr Nagazumi called at him, pointing. Damien looked in the direction that the man had pointed. He saw a chair. He walked to it and settled in. He was seated in a position where all eyes were fixed on him. "I know you must have a l
The door of the room was pushed open, and Leroy walked in. As soon as the men saw him walk in, they all bowed to him. But Leroy didn't pay attention to them. He looked across the room. Seeing Damien, he walked straight and fell on his knees. "Young Master."It didn't take forever for the group to figure out what was happening. Their eyes almost popped out of the sockets. "Young Master?""Did he just say young Master?""Could it be?""Could Young Master mean?"It seemed as though some of the men were starting to draw a closure but were reluctant to say the words. "Get up. Didn't I tell you not to go through such formalities anymore?"Damien scolded Leroy. Though he hadn't intended for his voice to be loud, the group had heard him. "Is he truly?"A man whispered to his neighbour. Leroy got up and turned to the group. "What do you think you are doing? Why are you just standing there as rods?!!!"Leroy raised his voice, scolding. The men got what he meant immediately and bent down i
"Who is he calling?""The BMX girls?""I'm not sure.""Y'all just be low with it."The men argued amongst themselves as they anticipated what Damien was up to. Not long after, the door of the hall was pushed open, and nine beautiful young ladies walked in. "Oh, my world!""I'd be damned.""Where did they all come from?""Mars, perhaps?""That's lame."The girls bowed to Damien and then made a file at one angle. The elites were curious and restless. They were looking to know what the next line of action would be. "Tell the BMX girls to gather around and be here in the next ten minutes."Damien ordered, and the man whom he had spoken to dialled a number at once. They watched the man speak over the phone for a while, then drop the call. "You should have your seats now."He relieved the men of the punishment. "Nagazumi, hand me your mask."Damien called, and Nagazumi hurried to him at once. To the rest of the men, Damien might appear rude and disrespectful. But Damien knew that he w
"Did he just call him the Heir of the Consortia?""How?""How in the world is this possible?""Do you mean the great Heir who has been hidden all this while?""Did we just casually see him out of the blue?""Out of the blue, you mean out of nowhere?!"The nine girls were left in the hall. There was an elite who was still at the door. The last man to leave. But then the man hesitated and turned to the girls. "Here, have my number."He called Evelyn, and she rushed to him. "I'll see what I can do for you."He promised then left. Evelyn flipped the card in her hand to this and that side. She didn't look quite impressed. "What do we do now? How do we get to talk to him ever again? He is obviously changing the name of the group.""Is that your worry right now? Is the name of the company the only thing you can think of? How about the fact that our greatest fear is about to be actualized?""I warned you. I said it. I said that this might happen at the end of the day."Evelyn muttered. "W
"Please excuse me for a moment."Ari said to the girls and then walked to the other side of the deck. "Please come."He called at Damien. Damien stared at the ladies for a while. Some of them were winking at him. He walked to meet Ari. "I know you have every right to see me as a joke."Ari started. "But you can go ahead and prove it for yourself. I mean, the news about going to the island with me."Damien's gaze was cold and unamused. Ari sighed. "Didn't you receive a call from a private number? If I were the one who was the brain behind all of this, why would I have called you with a private number?"Ari was doing all he could to get on the good side of Damien. Damien was not ignorant of that fact. "Did I argue with you otherwise?"Damien finally spoke. "Huh? Really?"Ari was a little surprised. He chuckled. "For a moment, you made me worried. I mean, you have such a weird expression on your face. Anyone could have misconstrued the motive behind it."Damien took a step closer
Damien felt the scale fall of his eyes like a pair of glasses. He was on one knee, and his other knee pushed up. The position he was assuming was as though he was taking a sort of bow. When the realisation of recent events hit him, he quickly raised his head. He could feel no pain at all. He found himself in an empty white hall. The opulence and brightness of the hall was second to known. He couldn't really be sure what he had to take from this current state. But one thing that he knew for sure was the fact that he was no longer on the island. There was no part of the island that looked this way. Deep inside of him, he could feel that this hall felt like a familiar place. It was as though a remote part of him was trying so hard to reach a conclusion. Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him. It was a wheezing sound which was followed by a sequence of laboured breathing. He turned around at once. He wanted to be cautious. Though he recalled that he had beaten and defeated the Samurai
Damien's eyes popped out when he saw the Samurai. He shook his head and blinked a couple of times. He wasn't satisfied with that, so he closed his eyes for a while, then opened it again. He did that several times. He wanted to be sure that he was in his right mind and was not seeing things. There were a whole lot of things which he had just learnt just now. Things which he had been a fool believing the wrong context in the first place. Perhaps because he was overthinking things, that's why he was beginning to see things. But then he saw the Samurai smiling at him amidst the cannibals. There were so many reasons for Damien to be very surprised. As it seemed, the cannibals didn't know that the Samurai was in their midst. Damien quickly looked around the stadium. None of the people could see the Samurai, too. He was the only one seeing the Samurai!This got Damien quite confused and worried. He started to question his own sanity. He started to question the fact that whether or not al
Damien felt dumbfounded as he stared at the man who had just made the announcement. Perhaps his ears were playing some tricks on him, and he couldn't make the appropriate meaning of what the man had said. But immediately the man finished saying those words, the man fell on his knees in a heartfelt bow. In the blink of an eye, all the people in the stadium suddenly went on their knees in bows, too. Damien was so speechless that his head was blank. Why did things keep taking a different route every time he thinks he got things figured out?He tried to recall what the man had said about him. The man had addressed him with so many titles. There were so many titles he was already acquainted with, but he didn't know that quite a number of people were accessible. There were so many questions that arose in his mind. From where did this ocean of people come? He didn't remember reading in the news that people from Vegas would come to the island to celebrate the party. He didn't know what to
It was morning. Damien was lying in bed. His eyes slowly opened. He shut them and then opened them again. He felt a certain change in his body. He felt very light and refreshed. He felt like a newborn baby. He tried to recall what had happened before he fell asleep. The last memory that raced through his mind was when he was bitting at a nipple as he felt his body go into a state of shock. He recalled that he felt relieved after a flood of juice poured from the cap of his D. He smiled at the memory. He had never felt that better in a while."They were like Jada into five places." He muttered. Suddenly, something occurred to him. He sat up at once. He sniffed for a while. "Why is there no smell? Why does everywhere smell like nothing happened at all?" He became suddenly alert. He picked up his phone and checked. 12P.M."Oh shit." He jumped off the bed. It was 12 pm! Why was he still in bed? He shouldn't be in bed at this time of the day. "Today is the party! I shouldn't be her
Damien didn't react in a weird way. It's been a while since he had sex. Whenever he felt horny he would jerk off occasionally. It wouldn't be a bad idea if he just let himself go for this one time. After all, he would need his head clear for what he wants to do tomorrow. The five ladies rubbed their warm body on him, but he couldn't feel much because he was still putting on clothes. It was warm bodies to his hard suit. "Come with us." The ladies urged. One lady held the left arm, another the right arm, two at the front and one at the back. For a sheer second, he almost mistook the ladies for bodyguards instead of workers. He used the palmprint, and the door was pushed open. He was led straight to the room. With just one finger, he was pushed into the king-sized comfy bed. "Just relax, cutie. You don't have to do anything. Just stay relaxed." One of the ladies said. He wasn't planning to struggle with them in the first place. There were a whole lot of ways to have fun, but he had
About an hour later, Damien was sitting in the adorned chair in the meeting hall. It was time for the meeting. There were distinguished men settled at the table with him. The men looked quite excited to see him. He, on the other hand, was worried about a number of things. ONLY IF I HAD THE MAP, ONLY IF I DO. He couldn't help but ponder this over and over again. "If you will, Mr Kevin. We will start the meeting now." A man said, leaning forward to the mic. Damien nodded at the man. He looked at each corner of the table. There was a generous number of men present. But he wasn't interested in counting them. "Forgive us for not asking about your experience while coming to the island. I know that you are a wealthy man who loves to travel a lot. You must have seen a lot of things, yet it would be lovely to know what your experience was." The man said, smiling at Damien. Looking at as many faces as he could, Damien could tell that the men were pleased with him. They were acting like d
Damien couldn't think of what to say. What was stunning was the fact that the men were right there!!! How did they find him? Did they put a tail on him to track him in case he left his suite?Damien didn't really know what to make of this. But what was more important was the fact that he had just been discovered by the organisers. "It's you, Mr Kevin." One of the men stepped forward. Damien didn't find any reason to hold back anymore. He closed the pace. "What are you doing here, though? We thought that you would be in your suite?" Another man asked. Damien knew that he couldn't tell them the truth. And even if he wanted to tell them a lie, he would have to be quite sophisticated with it. "Well, I was just curious about all of this. When I was escorted by that lad, I didn't have the opportunity to look around. The lad was quite impatient with his duty. I guess the beauty of this space could not keep me in one place. Hence, I came looking around." Damien defended. He wasn't sure
No matter how hard Damien thought about this, it didn't make any sense to him. He was trying so hard to recall the last time that he visited the island. The last time he was here was when he was with Ari. How many months has it been that he was gone from this island to bring such a drastic and mouth-watering change?If Vegas was a country founded on the concept of magical realism, he wouldn't have had to worry much. If Vegas had the spiritual roots like the Nether realm where places could be transformed in the blink of an eye. Where virtual locations could be created and made to replace the old scenes. If those were the cases, Damien wouldn't have been this alarmed. He wasn't only shocked by these changes. He was crushed by awe. He couldn't see through the window of the car. The glasses were tinted. He didn't make a fuss about it. Not long after, the car came to a stop. The young man stepped out to get the door for him. The young man was different from the driver. The man got the
[Ping! Restoring system's activities.][Ping! Yacht-driving skill was exchanged with Map function.]Damien stared at the notifications pop-up of the system that was hanging in the air right in front of his eyes. He didn't know what to feel in precise. "The map function?" He quizzed. The map function was equally as important as the ZOOM function. He knew this, so it was quite hard for him to choose the perfect relation to this. What he had in mind while coming to the island this early was to first locate the cannibals before going to join the organisers of the party events. He didn't think that would be anyway possible anymore. How was he supposed to find them now that he didn't have the map of the system?He sighed. "Such a useless bitch!" He grunted, taking the window down. When he raised his head, he saw a set of few ladies standing at the opening of the island. He squinted his eyes to be sure whether or not he would be able to make a mental judgement of who the ladies were.
