There are many types of people. Some people only focus on the facts, and some people keep searching for something because they are not satisfied. Some people do things differently.In this life, some humans want power. That's why it became something that sometimes didn't make sense, especially focusing on the hidden treasure. they had been doing this for more than 25 years because they believed the Carter family was hiding something. After all, the Carter family had tremendous wealth."We'll go here." The person in the secret society in the center of the small hut gave directions while the others nodded."We will be at points A and B. Make sure the others are at the designated points." The order became the centerpiece of the discussion. Everyone nodded in understanding and immediately carried out the order.They searched and studied the Carter family's data secretly to be able to rival the Carter family, such as wealth and other fields; in the end, they found out if it was related to
The library was quite quiet. Not many people came to visit. There were only a few young men reading books in the corner of the room. One of the young men approached the librarian to return a book. The librarian smiled kindly. "As usual, you finished it very quickly."Lucas smiled slightly and shook his head. "It's not that. I'm just taking advantage of the free time." "Not many people can utilize time like you." Lucas chuckled, but he kept his mouth shut, realizing his mistake. How could he forget the no-noise rule in the library? Librarian Thom also gave him a sharp look, but an instant later, it turned into a smile. He couldn't be red at the young man who had always filled one seat for a few years. "Well, what book would you like to borrow again?" Lucas relaxed his shoulders. He had no idea about the book he wanted to borrow yet. "I don't know, maybe I'll come back here after class. Thank you, Librarian Thom." Librarian Thom nodded with a smile. He was the librarian of Unive
Everyone cheered at Elena's statement. Although everyone had expected the girl's answer, they still cheered when they heard it in person. Some girls who heard it also whispered to each other in envy. "If I were him, I would accept it without hesitation." "With your ugly face, Mike won't even want to look at you." In the midst of the excitement, Lucas felt a wave of anger fill his heart. His hands were tightly clenched. He went forward but only took a step when Adam grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"Lucas waved her hand, making Adam' grip loosen. "Let go!" He came forward and pulled on Elena's hand, which made her slip out of his embrace. "Let go!" Lucas shouted to Elena. Mike who saw Lucas pulling Elena's hand, immediately acted. He immediately pulled Lucas's hand away. "What the hell are you doing?" The people who saw that were confused. Lucas was known as an outstanding student. Even he was able to study here because of a full scholarship. What made him do that? "What
The three of them had arrived at the best fine-dining restaurant in the city. Other than a few waiters, there were no other customers in this place. They entered into a VIP room with an exclusive bar inside. Once they entered the room, they walked to the sofa in the center. The young man with a face resembling Lucas's invited her to sit. "Have a seat." Lucas nodded and sat on the sofa, facing the man who looked much like him. As for Chris, he stood not far from them with a silver suitcase in hand. The man picked up the menu book and opened it. There were many kinds of drinks in this place. "Want something to drink?" Lucas shook his head. He didn't want to mince words and got straight to the point. "Who exactly are you?" A few moments ago, he was very surprised when he saw a man who looked so much like him sitting in the car. At that, Lucas wanted to join them. The man smiled and closed the menu book he had opened. "I'm Louis Carter." "Louis Carter?" Lucas confirmed. Loui
"It's not that I don't want to, but...." Lucas was naturally conflicted. The fact that he had a family was shocking, let alone the truth that his family was the wealthiest in the city. Louis looked at his twin closely. "What are you waiting for?" Lucas looked into Louis's eyes intently. He paused for a moment and then spoke. "Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you if I didn't return?" Louis took a deep breath. It turned out that convincing his brother was harder than he imagined. "Lucas, remember, blood is thicker than water. I live in luxury, allowing strangers to live in luxury, but my brother cannot even have this glory." "Although blood is thicker than water, humans will think of benefits for themselves," Lucas said. He paused, remembering something. "Unless my departure is unfavorable to you." Louis let out a long breath. His face turned grim. "I don't want to seem pathetic in front of you. I hate to say this, but I must be honest if I'm not doing well." Lucas was surprise
"With all this glory, do you still want to attend college?" Louis knew that with Lucas's current intelligence, the young man could already manage the company without thinking about education.Lucas nodded. "Of course. I'm already in, so I have to finish it. And also, I almost forgot that today there are still courses and some assignments to do." "Let Chris drive you later," Louis said. A while ago, Chris went out and has now returned with a medicine pot in his hand. Chris handed the pot of medicine to Lucas. "The ointment should ease the pain on your face, Young Master." Lucas nodded. "Thank you." Helped by Chris using the ointment, Lucas felt that the wound had improved slightly. "Before you go, I want to take you to see our house," Louis said. Lucas nodded, not objecting at all. He also felt curious about where his brother lived. They left that place and went to the city's elite neighborhood. In the center of the area, there was a magnificent palace-like building. The mansion
Lucas was getting sick of hearing Jones' words. He gave Jones a sharp look and said. "Fine, I'll pay for everything." Jones chuckled in disbelief. Among all the people who got the scholarship, Lucas was the poorest person he knew. In a condescending voice, Jones said, "What will you pay with? It's obvious you're poor, but you're a slob." Lucas snorted. "What do you want? "You asked me to pay my tuition, now I'm going to pay it, and you're insulting me." Jones continued to demean Lucas. "How could I not? You'll find a discounted meal for lunch, right? How do you want to pay 20,000 dollars?" Lucas smiled sarcastically at Jones' statement. "Your mind is that narrow.""That's the fact," Jones concluded. "Never mind, you won't be able to afford it. Come out now and kowtow to Mike. I'll forget about this incident." "You didn't misspeak?" Lucas said. His patience was running out. He's a full scholarship recipient, he shouldn't have been charged tuition, but Jones asked him to pay. And
The three men in the room turned their heads toward the door. All three had the same expression, that of surprise. However, the most surprised person here was Jones.The well-dressed man who had just entered the room was George, the college's chancellor. A few minutes ago, someone from the mysterious Carter family contacted him. Their party requested that George give preferential treatment to a certain student who was under the protection of the Carter family. Without hesitation, George immediately agreed. Based on the information that the Carter family provided, the person was in the category of outstanding students, so protecting him was not a difficult thing. Although George had the authority to involve more people in protecting this particular student, he chose to do it directly and save time. He contacted Jones faster than anyone else because Jones was the most suitable person to do so. Arriving in front of Jones' room, the commotion caught his attention. "What's the matter,

Everyone watching was shocked. They all widened their eyes, unable to believe the masked man could finally be taken down and even hit the wall. Of course, this was Black Pearl's first defeat by a novice fighter."He... managed to defeat the champion." People began to whisper, stunned in disbelief at what they were seeing.Amazed by what he saw, the host was speechless because he initially thought Julian would lose."No way. Even though he almost won earlier, he lost to the new guy." Complaints from black pearl supporters began to complain about their confidence in voting for the man."The champion who has won consecutive arena battles is now limping. He's been using a weapon, and that sword is very sharp." People started talking about Black Pearl's defeat.All the admiration and cries of disbelief uttered by the bidders made Black Pearl look down in shame, wringing his hands tightly."Ah, damn it!" The other man looked frustrated as he grabbed his hair and shouted loudly. "I have noth
The match started again. His time in the fight was a little different than before. suddenly, two weapons were lowered from the stage, making everyone surprised to see that."Okay, this time, the match will be made even more challenging because we already have a winner, and the winner wants the match once again, so we will make the fight even more interesting to end the night." The host explained the rules and the different fights.Everyone who participated in the auction became increasingly interested and increased their bets, which made the event organizers even happier."There are swords and baseball bats here." The host headed towards the two weapons that had just been lowered onto the stage. Alright, we'll have a vote on who gets the sharp or blunt weapon."Another person brought two numbers written on paper. The paper was folded properly, and no one knew which number Julian and the person he challenged would choose. The paper was shuffled so that no one knew where it was until th
Suddenly, it made Julian the center of attention of the others, and the people there immediately moved to support him. "Wow, he's really very good. I want to vote for him this time." The comment of one of the auction participants made the other people choose the same thing. They immediately spent money and wanted to fight again to choose Julian, who was called the Black Knight of Steel. "But he's an emissary of a nameless person and he said his emissary was after the goods in this place."The people around him who heard that looked at each other with frowns on their foreheads, wondering what the nameless person wanted and what items in this auction site had caught his attention."What kind of items is he after?" one of the men with a thick mustache asked, casting his eyes toward the items being auctioned in front of the stage."There are many items here and not just one, there are many items that are indeed valuable That's why we are conducting the auction to get a fair price." The
More participants gathered at the venue to participate in the auction, and the fighters who were going to participate in the auction also stood behind the stage in an orderly manner to fight in the order in which they registered. The system and rules at the auction site required everyone who participated in the auction to send people who could possibly win the fight. The winner of the battle would have the advantage of being able to auction off the first item they wanted. Of course, it would have superior rights compared to others.It could be said to have more exclusive buyer's rights. Even if there were people who offered a higher price than the winner in this match, the money could not be used to buy the item at all because the rights were held by the winner, and the winner was free to buy or sell the item he got from this auction event."Well, everyone has gathered, and the participants in the battle are also here. The battle is about to begin." The host on the stage signalled to
Julian finally arrived at the town of Mardlin, where the Widow Family was. He strolled through the area and oversaw everything.Several shops were crowded with people and dominated by men. The men were dressed quite messily, with half-unbuttoned shirts and dishevelled hair. They also had a very pungent smell coming from their mouths as they shouted and talked."You're cheating again. If we couldn't divide it evenly, we should have taken all the money in the shop." One of the men looked so proud, counting the money from robbing other people's shops.Julian frowned when he looked across the street, where a clothing store looked messy as if it had been robbed. Apparently, the men had taken money from the shop on the other side. Surprisingly, the people around seemed to be expected and ignored it.Julian saw that the clerk and the woman who owned the shop that was robbed seemed to be tidying up the mess that had occurred even from the look on their faces, not looking panicked or sad as if
Wanda looked at Julian, who was packing up his room. She leaned back against the doorway and stared at him coldly."It's so good to be you." He exhaled. "Today you'll also be doing a job."Julian grinned, full of confidence. "I'm a great man, so it's only natural that I work and become Master Lucas's confidant." He boasted proudly in front of Wanda. "You have to admit that."That made Wanda tilt her head, staring intently at Julian while snorting in annoyance. She felt jealous that Julian could get a job in the field while Lucas did not trust her to do the same job. She couldn't wait to fight and move her body again. However, Lucas did not allow him to come together with Julian."You've also got your own assignment, right?" Julian raised one eyebrow, remembering the task Lucas had given Wanda before returning to their country.When Lucas gave Wanda the assignment in the country of Bouzi, Wanda immediately did it quickly, even beyond the estimation that Lucas had predicted before. So s
Lucas stopped his dinner and looked at Lora. "I'm done." He held up a hand for Lora to wait. "Just continue eating without me."Lora just nodded her head with a deep frown on her forehead. She was curious about what Chris was going to tell Lucas, but Lora was afraid that it would make Lucas uncomfortable because if Lucas finished his meal before she did and chose to leave, that meant it was something important.Chris bowed slightly before Lora, excusing himself from the dining room. He approached Lucas, handing him his tablet which contained an article with a photo that was quite shocking to Lucas."This is news that was published just a few seconds ago, Master." Chris zoomed in on the tablet screen.Lucas saw a large scroll and a familiar logo. There was an heirloom related to his family. It was most likely the Carter family treasure that had been talked about for generations."Widow's family got it from the excavation." Chris opened another article that stated the location of the ex
Applause filled the grand ballroom. Lucas stepped onto the stage and accepted the award presented by President Marshall, which consisted of a plaque and a small trophy made of 24-carat gold and diamonds, shaped like the country's coat of arms and bearing Lucas Carter's name.President Marshall extended his hand to Lucas. "Congratulations and thank you for all that you have done for our country."Lucas accepted President Marshall's hand. He came down from the stage, and after receiving the award, many important people approached him and hugged him proudly."Congratulations on your award and you deserve it." One of the country's important guests also greeted Lucas."You are indeed a hero of our country and I heard that you are also a hero in Bouzi." The rest of you also complimented Lucas."No, I'm just doing what I can to help others." Lucas responded humbly to all the praise he received.Other compliments and congratulations followed. He returned to Lora, who was waiting for him with
