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
“Hun?!!!! Who are you?”Sarah suddenly made a surprised sound as she opened the door to her apartment when she was going out.It wasn’t that she doesn't know who it was, rather she was utterly shocked that the person would be so adamant to refuse to go, even till morning.“You… you… (cough!!!)”Gabs who was seated on the floor and has his back against the wall suddenly pointed angrily at Sarah, unfortunately, he couldn’t form any statement thanks to the huge anger in him.He still couldn’t believe till now that Sarah had made him stay outside overnight.Right now, Gabs has lost every bit of energy in him, so he could only barely keep himself awake, how could he fight?Sarah does not know what to say right now.She felt different sorts of emotions swirling through her brain at the same time, but she doesn’t know which of them to choose.In fact, she has almost forgotten about the scene of Gabs who was stinking alcohol last night, and whose body was covered in bruises.She doe
Right at this moment, the whole of Unity country, in which James was located has already descended into a frenzied moment.All the national televisions and private televisions, radios, blog websites, and social media were blasting with a piece of unexpected news right now.Hot news that nobody ever expected was received this morning, and since then, everywhere has turned completely chaotic.The news received was that a person whose identity could not be divulged had bought one of the few nine-star restaurants in the country, Stomach Empire.This news instantly caused tremors in the heart of all the influential people in the country as they all knew what this meant.It must be known that stomach empire alone is worth four trillion dollars.For someone to suddenly stay hidden and buy such a huge chunk of meat that not even all the largest families In the whole country could buy, it means that person is definitely not ordinary, and in fact, very scary.It was said that some u
“Please solve this question on the board mister James.”James who has already expected this couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.He could only blame himself for being too engrossed in his thought and losing focus in the class.At this moment, everybody was already gazing at James, in the hope that he would disgrace himself, even though the probability is quite low.It must be known that although James is not the most brilliant in the class, neither was he in the 10, he is still quite brilliant.At this moment, the mentality of his classmates has already taken great turns about James, everybody has begun to take him seriously.Had it been in the past, they all would have been trying their bests not to burst out with mocking laughter at this instant, due to the lecturer being in the class, but they would definitely have done exactly that the instant the lecturer left.James couldn’t help but glance apologetically at the lecturer, but what he got in return was an expressionless
Everybody instantly felt like they were dreaming right now as they had never expected this strong reaction from their Statistics lecturer.To even make matters worst, the person who caused this reaction was also staring like them right now in shock.“You… you….”The lecturer who has lost all the composures he always kept couldn’t help but gape at James with coveting eyes right now, making James' hair stand up at the end.He also wasn’t expecting this at all.Although he was already pretty certain that he has answered the question currently, he never thought that the lecturer would respond this way at all.At this moment, everybody became utterly and completely silent as they watched with their mouth wide open.It took the lecturer a very long time before he finally calmed down a bit.In fact, he might not even have calmed down if not for the thought that suddenly invaded his mind.“Mr. James, please could you explain this working?”James immediately became stunned w
James released a little smile when he heard this. “Well said sir, you are right.” As if this was what the lecturer was waiting for, his face instantly brighten up happily just like a kid that got his favorite candy. Seeing this, each of James' classmates also sighed in regret. They had not thought that the answer would be this easy. “So, that is how to solve this question.” Everybody instantly returned their attention to James. “Since this question asked us how to connect these two without making them touch each other, then one of the several ways is to use external help to achieve this.” Everybody’s brain immediately clicked open and huge memories, the sort they’d never expected to know in their life rushed in. Although most of them know how to solve this question, they do not understand it to one percent of what James did now at all. It is just like someone that knows how to put meals into his mouth and not how to prepare these said meals. But at this moment, James has tau
“How is it even possible for an ordinary student be as knowledgeable as you’ve sung to me, and we wouldn’t have known anything about him since all these years?” Inside the Vice Chancellor's office, the statistic lecturer ran here the moment he left James' class to tell him everything that happened in the class to the head. Unfortunately for him, the head doesn’t believe him a bit, and he has been doing all he could since to convince him, but it doesn’t seem to do any word. The vice chancellor, a middle-aged man of 65- 70 years age was currently seated in the head chair with a nonbelieving expression on his face as he watched the frustration in the statistic lecturer's eyes. It wasn’t that he does not want to believe the Statistic Lecturer, just that he couldn’t find himself to do so. “Sir, everything I told you was nothing but the truth.” Without giving up at, all, the statistics teacher added strongly. “This boy, he’s very brilliant, and must be taken seriously.” “Ohhh, I neve
“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
