*****Although it was a workday, Wednesday, almost everybody in the city did not bother going to work that day.Instead, they were all filled to the brim with excitement and anticipation as they all prepared for the upcoming competitions.The ones who could afford the travel expenses, hotel, and ticket traveled down to the capital city, to watch the competition in person while the ones who couldn’t afford or bear to leave decided to watch them in their comfort zones.As it was the first time the city would be organizing this competition, various cities created a massive show center in their various stadiums, which would air the competition in real-time, where people could watch.Although the competition hadn’t even begun, it was already filled to the brim, with everyone there to support their cities and country.The entire country was in a state of wild joy and excitement right now.“Hehehehe. Hubby, although I can’t support you directly, I will be here for you, watching and prayin
*****William was thoroughly confused at this moment as well as anxious, seeing the deathly quiet street that had been overfilled to the brim the previous day.‘Could it be I’m still dreaming?’ he wondered.Williams began to ponder hard when a sound jolted him back to his senses.Without hesitation, he bolted toward the sound, only to see an old man, with an earpiece in his ears mowing the grass.“I thought an apocalypse had occurred while I was dreaming?” He heaved a deep sigh of relief and the goosebumps that had crawled all over Williams slowly dispersed.Without hesitation, Williams approached the old man and tapped him after a slight hesitation, jolting the elderly man hard.The next second, he stared at Williams as though he weren’t seeing well.“There are still people other than me in the street? A young one at that?” He mumbled slightly, confusing Williams.“Hum… sir, I’m wondering if you perhaps has any idea where everyone had disappeared.”“This…”If earlier, the
*****“Master surely is excited today!!!”Inside a long hall, the bodyguard of the Harrison Family’s patriarch suddenly spoke after a moment of hesitation.As soon as the elderly man, who was seated in the head chair heard the man in Chinese attire, his beard shook and the excitement he had been forcing himself to hold back came rushing out of him.“Hahahaha! I’m obviously excited” He erupted with laughter. “I can’t wait to see that brat shine and it is only then I will announce to the world that he is my grandson-in-law!”The old man’s eyes began to shine with excitement as he stared unblinkingly at the massive projection mounted before him.As soon as the bodyguard heard his master’s words, his mouth twitched for a moment and he did not know whether to laugh or cry.He still couldn’t believe that this man, who was only melancholy and mad in the past and was always moody and sad was still his master.Recalling how the entire villa was usually billed with the depressed aura th
*****Zed City’s Stadium, at the regular section.____“This is great!!! Hahaha”“I’m finally relieved that bastard is not there!”“I thought they would secretly add him to the group!”“What a huge relief!”Unlike Williams’ women and his close acquaintance, everyone in Zed City was presently crazy with excitement, realizing that Williams was really not present. It was as though Williams’ presence in the group would really jinx their city and make them lose the competition.Although the match had not even begun, everybody; both old and young, men and women, poor and rich started to jubilate with satisfaction and joy, behaving as if this was the best thing that could happen.****“Ah!!! I’m so mad!” Dara, who like her sisters was filled with concern in their private booth suddenly cried out, glaring out through the massive one-sided see-through glass before them at the excited crowd below.“Those ingrates!” Penelope also gritted her teeth with rage as she continued dialing Willi
*****In the bar that was filled to the brim with a congratulatory atmosphere a moment ago, everyone’s mouth was slightly opened after hearing the bomb thrown by their most pampered brother.This lasted for a moment before everyone exchanged blank gazes, looking as though they had just misheard what was said before eventually, their jaws dropped, almost reaching Hade’s world under the ground.“You… you… you… did you just… did you just say that?” the person sitting closest to the guy being congratulated abruptly stuttered, appearing greatly astounded.“You… you did not just tell us we don’t deserve to be your brothers again, right?”“You…”Everyone became filled to the brim with disbelief, gaping at their comrade who had always been the humblest amongst them as they questioned him.They couldn’t believe that just because of a single elevation, he would trash them this badly and forget their pasts together just like that.Every one of them asked all sorts of questions in astonis
*****“This”Even though most of the stadiums across the country, whether in the capital or elsewhere, are packed to the brim, at this moment, everything is eerily quiet.Every mouth is agape as everyone watches the scene in the limelight with astonishment and wonder, those who knew Williams and not included.“Wasn’t that the pervert I met twice yesterday?” Jewel muttered absentmindedly as she gazed at the scene, one that she, like nearly every other woman, would remember for the rest of their lives.With her jaw dropped, she stared at Williams as he slid gracefully and handsomely down the rope that had been tied to the roof of the stadium since god knows when before finally, he gently landed right at the front of his team, causing the hearts of nearly all ladies to run out of their chests.With that, everywhere became eerily silent for a long time with everyone gaping at Williams in a daze before;“Oh my god!!! Who… Who’s that person?!!!”“What a great entrance was that?!”“I
*****As the thief expected, everyone on the competitors’ stand was glaring at Williams’ team in anger right now, furious that they had dared to steal all the limelight, especially Williams.“Well, it is nice that someone already has all the attention then, I will just use him as the stepping stone after we enter the secret realm.”This was the conclusion of almost everyone after they managed to curb their rage, then as though Williams and his team had worn the strongest magnets on the field, they attracted all attention to themselves, making them become the number one enemy.Unknown to Williams, a few people amongst his fellow competitors currently had a wicked smirk on their faces as they stared at him.‘Is he the one I was told to join the others to deal with?’‘Hehehe. He is nothing but an arrogant show-off. I might not even need to team up with anybody to deal with him and get the reward solely for myself…’******"Since you are here, you can have your position back," Sofia, s
*****“The portal has been activated.” A black-robed elderly man suddenly uttered in a creepy-looking environment.This was a place very far away from the capital city and right now, an elderly man, a middle-aged man, and a middle-aged woman were standing before a portal that was constantly releasing black fumes, staring emotionlessly at a bunch of people with the eldest being thirty.“Remember that this portal is only activated after we’ve depleted most of our resources,” the elderly in the middle continued after a moment, his voice so cold and his gaze seemingly able to see through souls.“This is the moment you all have been training for almost all your lives. Do your best to ensure that those so-called prodigies don’t leave the secret realm alive.""Yes, Sect Master!" the people continually emitting dark energy, whom the elderly man was addressing, responded in unison, their blood surging with intense fervor.Upon hearing their responses, the sect leader regarded them with a
