“You think I'll go back on my words if you don't take the first position, right?” The middle-aged man asked as he stared at Smith knowingly. Smith nodded his head affirmatively. “Isn't that what it's going to be?” He asked in a calm tone and the man shook his head with a sigh. “I wonder what you take me as. I'm the owner of this college so no matter what, I won't change my mind even if you don't climb the top 10 leaderboard.”“However, I believe in your potential. I have a feeling that you'll make me proud. I just hope you'll try your best. So whether you take the first position or not, you're still going to enter the Great Beyond library. I have no problem with that,” the man said and Smith stared at him for a while. He could tell that the man was sincere and genuine when he was speaking to him. The man's quick resolution left a good impression inside of him. “I’ll try my best then,” he said and the middle-aged man nodded his head in response with a soft smile on his face. “Is
In the Great Mansion Of the Edward Family.The Empower, Smith's father, Mr. Anderson was having a nice time drinking tea while reading a newspaper about the current situation in the State. He paid barely any attention until his gaze landed on a particular headline. The Great Grand Quiz Competition. He opened the page and read it. He found out a few things about the competition that he didn't know before. The Great Grand Quiz Competition was only open to the top 1 student for those big and grand colleges across the country. It was natural that some insignificant country with little to no power was not invited to the Great Grand Quiz Competition. The Great Grand Quiz Competition is held every five years. Their rewards to the higher authority of the invited colleges of different countries were extraordinary. He wasn't interested in whatever the higher ups of the Great Grand Quiz Competition had to offer so he didn't pay much attention to them until now. His right hand man, Sir. Issa
Mr. Frank stopped on his track same with the higher ups of the Great College when they noticed how Smith suddenly stopped on his track.“Smith?” Smith regained his senses and forced out a smile on his face when he saw how worried they were. “Are you okay?” They asked. Only Mr. Han kept quiet. After what had happened, he had been wary of Smith. Even the Richard Family couldn't afford to offend someone like Smith. How could Smith be an ordinary person that he appeared to be? Not only did the Richard family fail to avenge Damon but they also took the initiative to apologize to Smith. One could tell how mysterious and powerful his background would be. “I’m fine. Something crossed my mind earlier. I'm sorry for scaring you,” he muttered and they nodded his head in agreement. Before they could leave to the Inner Hall of the Origin Gathering Hall, they were stopped by a middle-aged man who had a long white beard. He also had a sharp eyebrow that made him look quite intimidating. “Mr. Zh
Everyone looked up and listened attentively to know what the robotic system that used to announce the result of the answers to those questions would say. “Incorrect,” the robotic voice resounded heavily and a red light shone dimly above the guy who got the answer wrongly. Smith arched his eyebrows as he noticed something wrong. The red light wasn't as deep as it used to be. ‘ It seems he was close to the answer but he didn't get it correctly' Smith thought to himself. It was only his speculation though.Few people who were observant to the little change could tell that the guy was close to the answer but got it wrong at the end. They shared the same thoughts with Smith. Smith felt relieved to know that the guy missed the question. Not only was his vital points deducted but he was also deranked. Smith was currently ranked second while the other guy that was ranking second earlier ranked first. The other guy that spoke up earlier felt a pang of regret when he realized that he failed
Smith turned to the owner of the Great College he was representing before he left and said in a calm tone. “I'll make it up to you later.”Mr. Frank stared at Smith with a shock and ghastly expression. How could he not be shocked? Someone like Smith that used to be looked down upon managed to make an expensive and customized jet descend into the Inner Hall of the Origin Gathering Field? He used to believe that Smith wasn't an ordinary person judging from his bearing and calm composure. No wonder he wasn't moved when he tried to offer him money to make him participate in the Great Grand Quiz Competition. He could see why Smith wasn't interested in the Great Grand Quiz Competition. He no longer felt Smith was arrogant. He felt warmth in his heart when he heard Smith's statement before parting with his family. Mr. Frank stared at the jet intently but he couldn't get any idea of who his father was. Who is Smith? That was the first question that crossed his mind when he remembered how
One week passed and he received an unexpected guest. The guest was no other than Mr. Anderson, his father. “It's such a surprise to see you. I wonder what brought you here,” Smith said coldly without bothering to greet his father. The two old men who were standing behind his father were displeased by his outrageous character but they couldn't do anything about it. Even the emperor always felt a sense of helplessness about his son because of how tough and unyielding he was. How could they speak up? “You can wait for me outside,” Mr. Anderson said and waved his hand dismissively when he noticed that his son had no intention of talking to him. The two men standing behind him smiled bitterly and left quickly, not daring to waste anymore time. “Why are you here?” Smith asked with a cold look on his face as soon as those people left. “Are you angry at your father because of what happened?” His father asked as he smiled bitterly. Smith nodded his head negatively and his father turned
Two days passed, and Smith could be seen in a magnificent mansion that he purchased recently. He didn't want his father to know everything about him. Although his father could still ask his men to trail or stalk him, he felt it was better for him to have his privacy. None of his subordinates nor even his step-brother would dare to enter his mansion. Smith stared at the mirror that stood erected on the floor with a cold smile on his face. He adjusted the collar of the black suit that he wore properly. The suit was one of the most expensive yet simplest outfits that he has in his clothes collection. It was natural for him not to wear something flashy since he was planning to go somewhere important. He didn't intend to show off. Was there any reason why he should show off?A knock landed at the door and he spoke up without glancing at the door. “Come in.” He wore a wrist watch that looked like an old modern item. It was as though he'd already know who was coming. It was natural since
Smith was unfazed by the finely dressed young man's statement. The finely dressed young man glared at him coldly but he paid no attention to him. “I’m sure the member of the Rodriquez family doesn't have ear problems,” Smith muttered with a cold smile on his face. The three men standing behind him chuckled coldly. The young Master of the Rodriquez family who had almost lost his mind rushed toward Smith and raised his hand to slap him when someone else called him. “This is not the right time for you to retaliate, Thompson,” a young woman's voice rang in the air before the man who was named Thompson could slap Smith. “Don't feel too happy that my sister came to your rescue. You can't escape my wrath,” the man said coldly as his beautiful sister who was dressed in a white top and gown beside him. “I will but I can't say the same for you,” Smith responded calmly as he caressed his chin. Although they didn't understand what Smith said, they felt humiliated by Smith's unyielding char
