Chapter Five
Gifting his Silver card to an armless man
James could not remember if he had ever felt satisfied to this extent before in his entire life.Although he has long finished his meal and had allowed it to digest a bit, he could still remember how delicious they felt on his taste bud.
They are definitely worth their money.
James has already made up his mind that he would come to dine in this restaurant again in the future, to eat his fill.
Once outside, James decided to stroll a bit, to let the meals he just had digest more.
Although it does not show outside, thanks to the clothes he wore, James knew that his stomach has bloated at this moment, and he might start feeling pain if he does not let it go down.
Just as James left the restaurant compound, he saw someone staring deeply at the restaurant.
It was an armless man.
James decided to pause and ask the man what he wants.
With how weak the man looks, James has already concluded what the man wants in his mind.
"sir please, buy meals for my daughter."
Just ask James was about to ask the man what he wanted, the person suddenly knelt heavily before James and said to him.
James became stunned as he watched the middle-aged man that could almost give birth to him kneeling before him.
It took a while before he was finally able to react.
"Please, don't kneel before me…" James rushed to the middle-aged man and tried to lift him up, but the man would not budge.
"Please sir, anything would do, it could be leftover food, I and my daughter are hungry!!"
James began to pity the man.
This is one of the disadvantages of living in an advanced city.
The cost of living is so expensive, and things get a little difficult for those that are not rich.
Because of the huge population, the work available could not serve everybody, and their pay is too little that could not take care of an entire family.
That is for people with their bodies intact, what of someone with liabilities, like this man?
How would they survive?
James looked down.
He saw a girl of four-five years whose lips has become completely dry.
This girl was busy peering innocently at James.
"It's okay, stand up, I will give you and your daughter a meal."
James sighed again and convinced the man.
The moment the man heard this, he became so excited that he began to thank James over and over again.
After a while, James started walking at the front while holding the Little girl's hand, the armless man followed behind.
They entered the restaurant.
"Hello, could I give someone my silver card,?"
Thankfully, the person James met was the one that attended to him earlier and given him the card, so things became easier.
Seeing who it was, the cashier hurriedly sat up straight and turned her attention fully towards James.
"Of cause sir, you can do it,"
"Great."
James passed the silver card to the little girl whose hand he has been holding.
"Keep this very well, you should bring it here every day to eat for free."
James instructed the girl gently.
The moment the girl heard the word eat, her sunken face instantly widen happily as she nodded repeatedly.
James turned his gaze toward the middle-aged man.
"You can wait here for me this time of tomorrow, I would come by."
The instant he finished that, he walked away.
He knew that if he did not do that, this middle-aged man might start thanking him again, and he knew he couldn't handle that.
Just as he reached outside, a ding tone sounded in his head.
[Host has given out a meal card worth 187,500. Host has received the return, do you want to open it?]
The voice that has turned ghost all along suddenly sounded, making James flinch unconsciously.
He is still not used to the sudden voice sounding in his head.
'Open.'
James replied in his head.
[Host has received a platinum meal card to eat for free forever In all the stomach Empire in this world..]
Seeing what he got, James suddenly felt speechless.
Although he does not know what the platinum meal card is, he knew it could only be something like his previous silver card.
Taking it off his mind, he flagged a taxi and returned to the uni.
The moment he alighted the taxi, James began to feel so much attention turned towards him.
Many people began to point at him while saying things he couldn't hear.
But judging by their expressions, James realized that whatever was being said are definitely not something good.
'When did I become so popular?' He thought in confusion as he saw the pointed fingers given to him.
"Third brother!!!"
James suddenly heard loud exclamations, and three people rushed toward him.
The moment they reached James, they began to check him all over, from head to toe, concern written all over their faces.
The confusion James was feeling now has already reached a new peak.
If his schoolmates were all acting strange, what of his friends?
"Hohoho… look who we've got here, isn't this the guy that became crazy after being dumped by his girlfriend!"
A rude voice suddenly came from behind, making everybody turn to look back.
He is one of the bullies in the male hostel.
He always loves to bully and threaten the weak while kissing up the asses of the strong.
"What… what are you doing here," The first brother in James' room questioned angrily when he saw this person.
Then James three roommates instantly surrounded James as if they are guarding him against someone frightening.
"Let's go, third brother, let's go to our room."
"That's true third brother, let's not listen to this talkative."
James began to feel that something seems amiss.
He decided to understand what was going on, so he stood his ground.
The place has become crowded at this moment with everybody in the male hostel.
They were standing some distance away while giving James different glances filled with many emotions.
"Hahaha, saw how you became crazy due to being dumped by your girlfriend."
The bully who was watching everything unfolded happily finally said his mind.
Everybody waited patiently to see how James would react, everybody but James' brothers who were feeling mad at this moment.
Unfortunately for the crowd, they did not see any of the emotions they'd been waiting for, instead, the intensity of confusion on James' face has completely risen at this moment.
"Why is he acting like he does not understand what's going on?"
Someone questioned.
"Hahaha, are you trying to cover up the embarrassment you've given yourself?"
The bully busted out laughing as if he finally understood what was going on, then he removed a tablet from his pants pocket and clicked it, then he turned the screen towards James.
The moment James saw what was being played, he became stunned.
'Wasn't that when I was thanking the system?'
Chapter Six Going To Class Amidst The School Ridicule James was treated like an egg that might brake anytime by his brothers for the rest of that day.After his friends took him into the room amidst different disdain gazes, they decided not to discuss what happened, apart from telling James repeatedly that he shouldn't think of Sarah anymore.James truly felt frustrated by his friend's nagging.He wanted to tell them that he was not hurt by Sarah, but he knew they would not believe him, so he decided against it.Like that, they began to monitor James, as if scared he would run off or do something they would regret which was so unnecessary.At night, the last of the four friends, the fourth bro was given money to go buy dinner which he helplessly complied with.James could almost swear that the sleep he has that night was the most fulfilling and peaceful sleep he has had since ages ago."What's with all of you?"James was suddenly stunned when he saw the
Chapter SevenGetting Invited To A Birthday Party James stared expressionlessly at this person coming towards him.She looks so unfamiliar to him at this moment, that he could almost swear he does not know her before.It might be because James has finally seen through her façade yesterday, at this moment, he just felt that Sarah is a complete stranger to him."I heard you went crazy yesterday because I broke up with you."Sarah had been feeling so uncomfortable since she saw the headlines yesterday.She felt that everybody began pointing at her everywhere she goes, she couldn't take it in anymore so she decided to come earlier this morning to class so that she could clear off the misunderstanding.She wants everybody to know clearly that she has nothing to do with James anymore.James only continued staring expressionlessly at her, feeling lazy to answer her.He suddenly realized that he might not have loved this girl in the past.If he had truly and certainly loved her the way
CHAPTER EIGHT Do Not Try To Get A Vehicle's Way Again In The Future James stared with his eyes wide open, and his mouth agape at this shameless person in his front. He couldn't help but find him extremely irritating to his eyes. He was clearly in his right, and here is the other party blaming him for the accident that almost occurred. "You know clearly that you are at fault here, dude!" James began to think that the other party is a dumb fellow at this juncture, if not, shouldn't he be apologizing for what he almost caused? Lean's eyes suddenly widen in surprise when he heard what James said. Since he got admitted to this school, this would be the first time anyone would dare speak to him like this. It felt so shocking to him. "Hun…. Is that not the boy that went crazy yesterday because his girlfriend dumped him?!" People began to murmur as they point their fingers at James. "He seemed to have offended Lean Markwood?!" Another person pointed out
CHAPTER NINE MISUNDERSTANDING James' head is currently raised, staring at the tall building that almost looked like a skyscraper before him. He felt a little proud and accomplished at this moment. 'I'm one of the owners of this worldwide known restaurant from now on.' James felt like he was still dreaming. [Hope host knew he has been standing there foolishly and staring like a dumb fellow for almost thirty minutes now?] James was suddenly interrupted by a condescending robotic voice in his head. He couldn't help but feel a great headache wash over him. 'Can't you just for once speak like a normal system, hun?!' [Host should not try to humiliate me, this is how I am created, to have and express emotions.] 'Express emotions?! With that robotic voice of yours?!' James could only shake his head helplessly thinking which pervert had created such a system. He glanced around him, and he could see the place bus
CHAPTER TEN YOUR TRICK WOULD NOT WORK ON ME Startled, James and Ayra both turned around to glance at the source of the voice. Ayra instantly became confused while James became stunned. "Hadn't I told you that I'm no longer interested in you?" The voice continued angrily. "Sarah, is this guy monitoring you around, why would he be here waiting for you?" "Maybe he still thought he would be given another chance?" James' eyes became wide open when he heard what Sarah and her friends were saying. 'What the hell is with these people?!" Ayra is already staring interestingly at the scene being played out at this moment. She already gained a little understanding of what was going on, so she does not intend to get involved. "Did I not just tell you today, never to show before me again in the remaining of your life?" Sarah stared angrily at James as if she couldn't wait to butcher him. "Who is this person?" One of the girls b
“Sarah… did you not say that the boy is nothing, how could he be the manager's boss of this place?” Outside Mcdonalds’ building, six girls dressed in revealing clothes stood embarrassed at the side, waiting for the cabs they ordered to arrive. At this moment, confusion was written all over their faces as they waited impatiently for Sarah's explanation.They did not know that Sarah is as confused as them right now.After Sarah was dragged out, she finally has enough time to think through what just happened.Although she does not believe that James is the boss of that woman called manager, she knew he must be related to her somehow, or else, she wouldn't have fought for him.As for him being the boss, she found it ridiculous.‘With everything he has gone through in the past, how could he be the boss of this place, and I would not know?’Although she was busy thinking of this, she does not want anything to show on her face to her friend, or else they would start looking down o
“Good day sir!”Just as it reached James' turn to be attended to, the cashier instantly sat up straight.She gave James a praiseful glance as she recollected what he did yesterday.She could still remember clearly how shocked she had been yesterday when she saw James give a meal card worth $200,000 to a father and daughter duo.Where would one see such people in this world?Her eyes began to shine with bright light as she stared at himSeeing this young girl that is busy gawking at himself, James suddenly felt a bunch of goosebump crawl over his skin.He could not understand why she would stare at him openly like this.‘Perhaps she has fallen in love with my handsome and charismatic self.’[Congratulations to the host for successfully receiving the tag! narcissistic host!]James instantly blushed slightly when he heard that, he couldn’t help but retort in his mind; ‘Didn’t I take that from you?’“Hello,” James greeted awkwardly and waved his hand in front of the daydreaming girl.“I wo
After they finished eating their meals and allowed them to settle down, James told the father and daughter duo to follow him, and they left the restaurant.“Where do you live?” James faced the little girl that was currently busy glancing here and there.With her tiny voice, she replied; “I and father live in hun… hun….”The little girl entered a deep thought, her eyes squinted together, making her look extremely cute.She probably does not know how to describe where they live.James could only turn to face the armless middle-aged man who has kept mute from the beginning.“Sir, I know you might not want to owe me much, or you might be thinking I’ve gotten some objective or motives in mind for everything I’ve been doing….”The man suddenly raised his head to stare at James' face, his face completely blank, that one would not know what he was thinking.“I swear, my mind is very clean, okay? and I would beg you, for your daughter's sake, let me make her dreams come true.”The ma
“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
