‘Why is this dude smiling?’ Lean questioned curiously in his mind, but at this moment, he already has the perfect plan on how to turn the world against James and elevate his position in his mind.Even thinking of this alone is giving him a great sense of joy he couldn’t explain nor describe.Lean also smiled a bit and released his mind power to see what the crowd would feel about what he is about to do.After doing this, he suddenly changed his expression to look sober, and muttered quietly, but still loud enough that the people near them could hear; “Do you want me to give secretly give you a gift so that you could give her?”Hearing what he just said and seeing his expression, James couldn’t help but remember their last encounter.‘Does he still think this would work against me?’ once bitten twice shy.James shook his head pitifully at the dude, ‘but I should still give him a few moments of joy though.’While James was also making plans in his mind, some people su
‘He brought a gift, what a joke?’ Everybody thought in their mind as they glared at James.Lean also felt stunned at this moment.He couldn’t help but glance at James from head to toe, but he couldn’t see anything on him, so he thought James only said that to save his face.“Oh…. I never knew you actually brought a gift?” He sounded very serious, while what he was doing was trying to force James' lie into the open.“What sort of gift could he have brought other than cheap products,” some people muttered behind their breath.After what Ruby said just now, nobody wants to speak out or disdain James for not bringing gifts anymore, but their curiosity has already been piqued, so they all watched, waiting for him to show them the so-called gift he brought.The most curious of them at this moment is Ruby who was not expecting that James would actually bring her a birthday present.She began to smile happily to herself, and could no longer wait to receive what James brou
“What do you think you are doing, hun?”Ruby finally regained herself.She couldn’t help but give Lean a furious glare when she saw him challenging James.She had been too stunned just now when she saw how Lean behaved which was why she couldn’t react, but now that she has returned to her senses, she became completely furious at him.This angry question also finally made Lean realize a bit that he seemed to have overreacted.His heart pounding heavily in his chest, Lean breathed in and out for a while to calm himself down, then he turned to glance at Ruby apologetically that doesn’t reach his eyes, then he let out a forced smile.“I’m sorry, okay…I thought of something ridiculous just now.”Yes, that was exactly what he thought.He knew it is in no way possible for James to get his hand upon this great object.What if James was a bit mysterious?Even he, a member of the Markwood Family dares not have this powerful object he was thinking about, talk less of someone that was o
James who was still feeling irritated that he couldn’t find the perfect person to throw his frustration at suddenly became excited at this moment when he saw this fat and ugly fellow.Had he seen him earlier before these people began to call him a liar, he would have automatically ignored him, but right now that the fat dude has to make himself to be noticed, James felt that it would only be a waste if does not value the dude's hard work.Although his eyes were still busy staring coldly at Gabs, he has begun to smile happily in his mind and mock the system.‘You see this, hun? I finally found the perfect object… hehehe.’[Good for the host.]The system replied dryly before ignoring James.Hearing this, James also decided to ignore the strange and arrogant system for now.‘Shouldn’t it try its best to make I as its host feel excited and satisfaction all the time?’Right now, Gabs has begun to cower in fear when he saw that James would not look away from him.He slowly be
Lean suddenly felt his heart skip a bit when he saw the grateful smile all over James' face.‘Why would he feel grateful?’ he thought curiously whilst also not wishing to know the answer.“Yes, it is so much real,” he suddenly heard James say lightly, but with much conviction laced in his voice.Lean couldn’t help but unconsciously glance down at the card that was still in his palm.He slowly raised it towards his eye level to study it inch by inch.He does not want to believe it at all, even for a bit, but the courage and boldness in James' eyes at this moment were just too strong that Lean felt it couldn’t be faked.He turned the card around in his palm severally, looking for what to pick out to use against it, but he couldn’t find any.The card looked so much like the real deal.‘As expected of a counterfeited product, it looks so genuine, even its weight.’Lean suddenly threw the card up, then he raised his head to follow its trajectory with his eyes.Just as it
Everybody watched with mouth agape as Ayra walked towards Ruby and co, not knowing who her boss was in particular.Ruby and Lean's hearts were already feeling somehow at this moment, as they stared at each other's faces, thinking that the other party is the boss of this beautiful girl is looking for.“Boss,” Ayra called out again beautifully and waved her hand elegantly.This time, James returned to his senses. ‘Is this coincidence not way too much?’ he released a forceful and helpless smile.‘I was just looking for the perfect way to shock these ignorant fellows, and here is one.’“Boss, sorry, I came late.”Ayra bowed slightly in the direction of Ruby, Lean, and James.Right at this moment, several people began to compare hers and Ruby's beauty together, thinking of each other's qualities.It was at this instant that a voice suddenly spoke; “It’s not a thing.”Hearing this voice this hall abruptly became dead silent, with their eyes and mouths widening furth
Lean couldn’t help but smile coldly when he heard James' question.He also thought like the crowd, who thought that there is no one James could afford to fork out such a huge amount.‘There could only be one thing that gave him such courage.’Slowly, Lean glanced at the object in his hand again, before he automatically throw such thought away.‘How could it be real….. The boy must have thought I would be scared, which will make me back out from the bet.’Just as Lean was about to open his mouth to accept the bet, a melodious voice suddenly sounded and interrupted him; ‘Stop, guys. Please stop already.’Ruby glanced at both parties, feeling frustrated.She couldn’t understand what got into the two that would make them throw everything in the drain, just so they could bet.Both James and Lean couldn’t help but turn their heads in unison to look at Ruby when they heard her pleading.“Lean….. Give me back my thing,” She demanded angrily.She knew that everything tha
Everybody’s eyes and mouths were already so huge and wide open at this very moment that if hundreds of flies were to fly into each of their mouths, there would be no hindrance for them at all.Out of everything they’d expected, never had they thought that James would be a major shareholder of this company that is extremely popular and not an ordinary staff.Even Lean was not expecting this at all.He was only trying to make everybody, especially to make Ruby and Ayra develop a great mistrust towards James, who would have thought that he would only be shooting himself a boulder in his legs.Ruby was also staring at James right now, not petrified, but dreamily.She was feeling a strange sense of joy descend upon her right now, and she doesn't know which word to describe them.The hall has become so quiet at this moment that one would be able to hear it if a tiny pin was to fall this instant.They were all looking in the same direction with different expressions on their f
“You were the ones who created the system for me?” After the arrival of James’ parents, everything was soon settled, and on that day, the existence of the twelve great orders was cleared and destroyed in all the continents. Apart from that, the news about the champion being the son of two deities soon spread across and beyond the nation, shocking everybody alike. Immediately, everybody realized why James had been overpowered, which was because he was the son of a god and a goddess. Back to that day. Immediately his parent settled everything, they didn’t wait for their son’s award to be given before they transported him away with a bunch of people from there, and then, James knew about his secret protectors and those who had been there to fight to death with him against the Twelve Great Orders. He was shocked beyond words when he learned that amongst these people were two people he was extremely familiar with, Jessica and Regina. He was beyond speechless, but everything soon made
Today being the last day of the competition, all the people who managed to enter the finals gave their best effort, going to extra lengths so that they could win, but no matter how much effort was put in, everybody could not have the championship position at once. That’s not possible.It would only belong to one and a few runners-up.And with not much suspense at all, James took the championship position for the three categories, shocking not just the people there, but the entire world as a whole, especially the Principal of Dee University who had thought James would never reach such a level.Not only that. Except for the two ladies who had been evicted since the second stage of the competition, all the students from Dee University had done extremely well in the competition, making the school which hadn’t been known beyond a few places previously become a world-known school in a short time.The competition was so thrilling that for years to come, it would be relayed to ev
When James and co entered the capital City, they had been unknown to anybody then, and nobody had spared them any glance, but as the competition proceeded, their fames began to soar and spread across the nation, preceding them by far.Now, they couldn’t even walk out again without bringing escorts with them, because otherwise, they would be flooded by the crazy youth fans.It got to an extent when the organizers of the competition had to create a secret pathway for James and the other black horses to pass every day.But that was all there was to it.Apart from going to the competition ground every day and returning home, James and the others have pretty much-become prisoners in the Capital City now, and even thinking about going out as ordinary people with their faces open has become a mere fantasy to them.This included James and Shalom, the biggest black horses.Yes, James was an all-rounder prodigy, which was the main reason behind his popularity, and Shalom, the quiet
The first day of the competition was extremely lively and with zero troubles for James who easily passed all the parts he joined and successfully moved to the higher level.As the competition was designed, everybody was permitted to join each of the parts they wanted, which were categorized into three. The academic, entertainment, and sports.The academic category has to do with school-related courses, debates, and so on, while the entertainment category has to do with acting, and singing; which Shalom and Regina joined and quickly became popular. Comedies, and many more. As for the sports category. It was like its name suggested.It has to do with sports; such as everything balls, running, long jump, and many more.And out of these three categories, it was surprising that James joined all.Well… not that anybody saw anything special about him on the first day, since like him, several others joined the three competition categories.But from the second day of the competit
James’ brothers didn’t come back that day. It was until the following morning they returned, each in their luxurious vehicles with their drivers, and dressed handsomely in sleek clothes, shocking not only James but his cousin and the ladies as well.Apart from these new images of them which took a long time for James and the rest to accept and process, their attitudes became those of young masters from influential families.Well… all the images soon came crumbling down as soon as they were all alone. They all reverted to how James knew them, his shameless brothers.These sudden transformations were hard for not just James to comprehend, but everybody who knew his three brothers.“What were all those about?”This was James’ first question as soon as he returned to his senses.“That was why I ran to school in Port City, always wanting me to be who I’m not.”The first brother sighed helplessly, replying to James’ question.“The same was for me… I mean, you couldn’t even imagi
No longer after James finished showing in the luxurious bathroom, a maid knocked on his bedroom door to call him for a meal, and that meal was ready.As soon as James got to the dining area, he realized that everybody was already there, waiting for him.With his arrival, the delicacies were served, and everybody ate to their fill and contentment, enjoying themselves to the peak. This included Ruby, whose face still hadn’t eased up when James arrived.Once they had their meals, they were shown around the mansion, and later, they all retired to the gigantic seating room to discuss their next plans.A little while later, Emma’s father arrived, but as soon as Emma and James, even those who hadn’t seen him the last time saw him, they were flabbergasted and confused.If the last time they saw the man, he was merely an Old Man whom nobody would know that it was stress that caused his agedness, now, his face was completely wrinkled and his dressing was entirely messed up.Gazing at
Not long later, James’ airplane finally descended, much to the ladies and the guys, apart from James’ unwillingness and unhappiness.Once out of the airplane, there was already a limousine which was sent by Emma’s father waiting for the group to board.Everything was extremely lively due to the incoming competition, and neither James nor his group, including those in the Capital City, knew that right now, there was a strong storm brewing underneath the façade of liveliness.Before James and his group got respectfully invited into the limousine, they were drawn by the lively atmosphere of the airport.The streaming in crowds of people and the nonstop airplanes descending and taking off.At first, James and his group, excluding James’ brothers thought that it was always this lively because of it being the capital city. It wasn't until later, when they discovered the extremely heavy traffic jams did they learned from James’ brothers, who smugly told them that everything was l
After what occurred at and near Ruby’s house several weeks ago, the people sent from the twelve great orders in the capital city finally had a lead for the first time to the investigation that had felt like a dead end to them.Before any cops or any third party got there, they were already there to check things by themselves, and since it was a privately owned estate, it didn’t take long for them to bring out all sorts of files concerning Ruby and her household.With the help of the police department's database and crime record, they quickly knew that James had been chased from the place which prompted them to investigate James.From there, two and two became four, and it wasn’t long before they knew that James had been arrested as a suspect for the crime that had initially led them to Port City.With the narrowed-down investigation and a prospective suspect in sight, all sorts of investigations on James began to be carried out, such as how he lived previously, and what sort
After that day, life resumed a predominantly tranquility for James and his now-huge household. His three brothers still live with him, obviously without feeling bad at all, not even in the least. His girlfriend and May were also still sleeping in his villa in Dragon Estate, and likewise were Fiona and Emma who had now taken her role as James’ little sister very seriously, but in a more sensitive way. Like how a normal person with a happy life lives, everyday, James’ and the guys' meals were always already ready by the time they woke up, and once everybody had their meals, the limousine which hadn’t returned to where it came from since the day it arrived would take them all to their places. In school, James and his girlfriend still sit in their positions beside each other, and because the ladies have now made up their minds not to disturb him again, James’ life in school is now also extremely great, especially since Jessica has been nowhere to be found since the night James and Ruby
