"If I find out this is a joke or some prank you plan to display online for some senseless fans, I swear I will chop off your fingers one after the other and feed it to dogs."
William felt a chilly aura spread around the room as Clarion released a very strong energy.
"Answer my questions," William demanded confidently. In the past, he would shiver and run away from such powerful and wealthy people, but now...
He is the wealthiest man on earth! He couldn't be afraid as long as money is involved.
Clarion settled down when William spoke, since he didn't run away after her threat, she began to trust him a little.
"The highest share in this hotel is 40 million dollars, which is 20% of the company. We only accept shares from 5 million and above. If you plan to invest anything less, I'm sorry, we will have to throw you away."
A smile crept on William's face, the price wasn't so big after all.
"Great, I will invest one hundred million dollars."
"One hundred thousand dollars?" Clarion thought she had misheard.
"One hundred million, I want 50% share of this hotel."
Clarion's eyes widened when she heard the amount again.
She sized up William again, he was dressed in a simple long sleeve and black pants not worth up to 100 dollars. The only thing that made him stand out a little was his confidence.
He doesn't look like someone who has one hundred million dollars.
"I would like to pay with fingerprint, the faster the better," he smiled at her.
Clarion nodded her head, but she only believed him a little. She called Julian to bring the Fingerprint Payment Device.
"Fingerprint payment is only used for transactions above ten million, who is the big shot that wants to spend ten million?
I hope he is young, I can build a relationship with him as soon as possible." Julian thought loudly as she ascended the stories through the elevator.
She rushed into Clarion's office, and there were only two people sitting there, Ms.. Clarion herself and her poverty-stricken ex-classmate, William.
"Julian, Mr. William wants to transfer 100 million to the company's account, make sure you enter details correctly," Clarion ordered.
100 Million?!
William is going to do a transaction of 100 million? How is that possible?
How would a poverty-stricken bastard like William, who is only book smart, being out 1 million, not to talk of an impossible amount like one hundred million.
Anyway, in front of Ms.. Clarion, she couldn't be disobedient.
'Let me watch him disgrace himself and get beaten up badly by the security guards.'
"Place your finger here," she brought the device in front of William.
William smiled calmly and placed his finger on the fingerprint sensor, after a small vibration, the screen transformed, and a large green checkmark appeared.
"Successful!!" Julian almost dropped the device when it was confirmed successful, the poverty-stricken bastard she had offended earlier was actually a big shot!

"Let me take a look, are you sure you are seeing right?"
Clarion still didn't believe, only when she saw the confirmation sign did she actually believe.
She stood up, and her look turned respectful towards William, "Mr. William, welcome to a blissful partnership with this magnificent hotel."
Both of them shook hands.
Julian was still standing at the sideline watching with shock, what would be her fate now?
"Mr. William, you look awesome!" She praised, but William ignored her.
"Ms.. Clarion, have you thought about removing some unproductive workers from the hotel? There is one in particular I would like to point out."
Julian started to sweat profusely!
Her life is over!
She is from a lower-class family, her dad is a gambling addict who has made her family fall into large debts that she is currently paying with her salary as a receptionist in this hotel, which is quite huge.
If she lost this opportunity, her life would return to level 0!
"Ah, Mr. William, if there is anyone you deem unworthy, we would throw them out of the hotel at once."
A cold smirk appeared on William's face, "Well, there is one here. She is too disrespectful for someone in her position, she almost sent me away from the very beginning."
"What!! Who the hell is that fool that almost made our company lose someone of your level? Mr. William, sorry for my language, but can you tell me who that person is? We will not only kick them out but make sure they never get any job in Astoria City."
"Well, she is here with us."
Clarion's eyes fell on Julian, "Her?"
"Yes."
Clarion's look turned cold once, "Julian, you ungrateful woman, how dare you?"
"Ma'am, I am sorry, I would never do it again! Mr. William, I am deeply sorry for my behavior, if there is any way you would like me to apologize, I promise I would gladly do it.
If you want me to roll on the ground, I would do it. Even if you want me to warm your bed, I'll obediently do it and serve you well."
"I don't need a bitch like you on my bed," William warned sternly, "Clarion, just fire her and make her learn a lesson."
Julian's eyes became red, and tears began to fall.
Her life has shattered in front of her just by sinning against William, whom she tagged a loser.
Back in high school, he wore just one shoe, he was very poor and was mostly bullied.
He didn't seem like someone from a big family, as he would even do homework for others for small money.
"William, please, for the sake of old times, forgive me."
Clarion, who had this, was shocked.
"You didn't think about old times when you insulted me earlier, anyway, you should leave now," William stated calmly.
He was aware of Julian's bad side since high school as she would go around spreading false rumors to make him lose face.
"Please, William.
Don't kick me out, my family needs me," She kept pleading.
Clarion, who has had enough, called the security to come take her out.
Now she was alone with the biggest shareholder of the hotel.
"Mr. William, we will make an official announcement tonight.
If there are any changes you want, please inform me so I can relay them to the higher ups."
"I told you he was nothing more than a thief and a leech." Florence yelled at the top of her voice."If you would have listened, you wouldn't be this hurt now. Mr Donald is interested in you and even volunteered to help you get a contract with Starkcom, if I were you, I would have accepted.William is really handsome but in a world where Money and Magic rules, William is nothing."Florence didn't stop badmouthing William ever since they left that room. Right from day 1, she had always disliked William for being a pretty boy with no money and power.She always suspected that he there to steal her money and he has already done it. She felt pity for her friend.Clarissa didn't reply Florence, no matter what others say, she believes William wouldn't do such a thing, if he needed to amount of money, he would tell her about it."Well, since you don't want to talk about that failure of a husband, how about we talk about the contract."Clarissa still didn't reply so Florence snatched the docu
William thanked Clarion sincerely for her help as he left the hotel with Monalisa, the lady who would be taking him to the most expensive gift shop in Astoria."Mr William, you left your car at home?" The secretary asked with a smile."Actually, I don't have one yet." William smiled wryly and scratched the back of his head, he had so much money now however the thoughts of buying a car hasn't arrived in his head.Monalisa looked at William, her black eyes filed with surprise. Such a big shot didn't have a car?She didn't ask further and ordered a quick ride online, the can arrived and droved them smoothly to Lovebirth House, the home of fascinating gifts.The guards outside the magnificent place wanted to stop William but stopped after noticing the classy lady with him."This man is lucky, he has such a beautiful and wealthy woman even though he is poor. Handsomeness is really important for a man." They thought."Welcome to Lovebirth House, what kind of gifts would you like to buy and
"Florence, I told you your husband is a cheater and a thief. Guess who I saw when I went to buy gifts for my boyfriend today? William! I saw William with another beautiful lady buying gifts. Can you imagine that? He hasn't even left for up to a day and he is already out there with a different woman," Florence exaggerated. Clarissa was looking at her, not even knowing what to say. Florence was her friend as well as her secretary, and she is aware that she dislikes William for stealing her glow. However, why would she go this far to lie? "Florence, I won't believe anything you say." she replied"Clarissa, this time you really have to believe me, I saw him there, she was going to buy gifts for William." "Please, I am very tired now, I need a nice sleep so I wouldn't mess up my meeting with Mrs. Clarion tomorrow." Florence decided to shut her mouth since Clarissa looked tired. However, she would not stop until she exposes William. "By the way, are you sure Clarion is going to see yo
Clarissa returned home and passed the goodnews to her family, who took her news as a joke till they saw the signature!!"Is this a joke? Do you think you can scam us with fake signature?" Charles could not agree to this term, is this was real, he would be losing something he cherishes, his position.Lady Storm held the documents and scanned the signature with her eyes.If this was legit.And this equally mean her plan to break the bond between her daughter and that miserable husband of hers has shattered."Clarissa!" Lady storm called."Yes, grandma." Clarissa replied calmly even though she was pissed at Charles' remark."How much did you pay the scammer to give you these fake signatures? I can't lie, it looks legit, that means you have paid them a huge amount of money.""What do you mean?""These signatures, who did you pay? Signatures can be forged, especially those of famous people like Clarion. Tell me, who forged these for you?""Grandma, Lady Clarion signed it herself, why don't
"You returned!You thief, are you here to beg grandma to forget the deal"Charles ran to meet William and grabbed him by the neck."Speak now, tell us how you spent the money, don't lie." He continued.William looked at the hand grabbing his shirt and a cold frown appeared on his face."Get your hands off me this instant." He declared coldly."You, do you think you can talk to me like that, you are indebted to my family and you are also weak, without any powers."William continued to smile, although he hasn't unlocked magic yet, he still has super strength.He looked at Charles and shook his head, then he turned to Lady storm who had a frown on her face."If he keeps holding me like this, how am I going to say what i have to say?"Lady Storm looked at Charles and shook her head.Charles gritted his teeth angrily, "Fine, because of grandma, I'll let you go for now.""Good." William let out as he arranged his shirt."William, start narrating how you used up the money you borrowed from u
William looked at everyone as they displayed their most surprised expression at the amount of gifts he had purchased. Out of everyone, the most surprised was Charles who could not believe what he heard."Five million? How did you get your hand on five million? Have you been stealing from our family? I know you are a thief but I never knew you were this bold to reveal your act."William looked at Charles ranting, it was as though he was looking at a fool.Well, at this moment, he doesn't want to make his wealth known to the family."I used the money you gave me to visit a casino, Mother Luck smiled at me and I got more than five million in profit even though I lost more than that.However, I discovered that I haven't bought my queen any gift and that is the exact thing I did."Then William turned to Clarissa who couldn't help but blush at his words."I did it because of you, Clarissa, and also, congratulations for getting the deal signed with Starkcom Hotel." He smiled.However, everyo
Charles was the most shocked person in the room right now, he looked at his defeated hands and then slowly at the cold-smiling William.'How did this happen? I used my Rank 1 Elite strength and he defeated me? How is that even possible? Is he hiding his powers? No, it can't be, if he even had a tiny amount of mana in him, Grandma would have noticed it.'He looked at William again, it was as though he was looking at a totally new man."Master Charles is so kind, he gave William a chance to win." Florence clapped her hands.Charles looked at her, he wanted to refuse, just now he didn't hold back at all but yet William defeated him."If Master Charles was really serious, not only would he beat William in arm wrestling, his strength might even crush those feeble hands of his." Florence continued with her nonsense.Lady Storm had no way to save her son's face anymore, he lost the challenge himself and would have to face every other th
_Starkholm Lovers Restaurant_This restaurant is one of the biggest restaurants in town for couples, it has the best meals and mood that made it extremely romantic for couples.At this moment, a cab stopped at the parking lot, William and Clarissa stepped down from the cab.Clarissa was dressed in formal clothing but she looked extremely beautiful, once she stepped out of the cab, passers-by couldn't help but give extra stares marveling at her beauty. However, she wasn't focused on them, instead she focused and marveled at the wonderful exterior of the restaurant.This place is one of the places she would love for a date, however, she never got the chance to, as it was too expensive. Even though she wanted in the past, she couldn't speak about it to her husband knowing his financial status.The Storm family wouldn't even let her go out with William.She couldn't believe that she is here with him."Clarissa, you love this place, right?" William strolled beside her and said with a sweet
