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
Thankfully for James and his party, the girl with huge glasses has her car, a small pink car.James and his party could only cramp into the pink car which was then driven by the girl to a suburban district where there are a lot of nice and beautiful houses.The instant they got to their destination, James and his party became deeply stunned by what they saw.Although the building is not huge, it is truly the definition of beautiful.Just as if it was taken out of a cartoon, it sat there elegantly.“So beautiful,” the little girl muttered dreamily. Although the building looked like an animated building, it is by no means childish.Just more like a girlish house, with its bright colors.The attendant with huge glasses on her face also stared dreamily at the building in her front at this moment, almost becoming sad that it Is finally going to be sold out.This is her dream house we are talking about.“Please, come in sirs…” She unlocked the entrance door and invited James and his party i
James couldn’t help but stare at the middle-aged man whose eyes has began to ooze out tears like a baby at this moment. He felt speechless and does not know how to react, or what to say, but he knew he should at least find something to say this instant, or else they'd become the focus of attention.They were still standing by the roadside.“I know you have so much to say, but could we return home first.”James paused a bit to make sure the middle-aged man is getting what he was saying.“And I would so much hope you would not stand on ceremony.”Finished saying this, James hurriedly flagged the incoming taxi to stop.He did not notice the tear that fell from the middle-aged man again, nor the gratified smile that formed on his lips.“Intellectual Primary.”James said to the driver, then he opened the door so that the little girl and her father could enter.The little girl is literally getting restless at this moment, as she began glancing around happily.A smile formed on J
A few minutes later, the payment was completed, and the receipt was signed and given to James, along with some forms was which were given for him to fill.It is these forms that made James feel helpless.He knew that it was not in his right place to fill the form, instead, Lola's father, but what could he do when the other party is armless?Wouldn’t passing the form to him now, be like he was indirectly giving him dark humor?“You can fill it sir, she is now your little sister, so you can make decisions for her from now on.”The middle-aged man who has seen right through James' thoughts smiled and told James, making James embarrassed.“Can we take this home and bring it back when Lola resumes?”“Yes sir… yes sir… you absolutely can do that.”“Thank you, then we will get going.”Mrs. Teresa already stood up to escort them out.Since she knew that this person is a big shot, she decided to please him to till the end, even though he was only a young boy.She is feeling
“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
