Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 25: Discussions
"What did you mean earlier?" Johnny asked.[The system doesn't understand where humans got the idea that there are restrictions on who can obtain a power.]Johnny took a moment to make sure no one was listening to the conversation before asking, "What do you mean? Of course, there's a restriction. Otherwise, everyone would be able to get a power."It was something everyone grew up knowing, and nothing had proven that idea otherwise. Only the elite got to encounter the divine power system and obtain a power that would enrich their own lives. There were rare exceptions, but he wasn't one of them outside of getting more than one power. However, the system was acting like that was wrong. He couldn't wrap his mind around it.[The system now understands the confusion.]"And?" Johnny asked when the system didn't continue right away.[Everyone is capable of obtaining a power, but the system can only give power to a select few for several reasons.]"Can you tell me what they are?" he asked as
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 26: Exposing the Culprit (1)
Johnny looked Zoey straight in the eye and asked, "What on earth did you tell her?""I was just letting her know you're good and that we're going to clear things up before the family gathering is over," she said with an innocent look on her face.He didn't believe it for a second, and he narrowed his eyes. Zoey and the mother had snuck away to talk in private for a few minutes before returning. The mother had gone through a complete one eighty and allowed Hannah to act as his witness. Obviously, something more had happened while they had been separated, but he didn't know what.After a moment's hesitation, he decided to drop it. He didn't want to push his luck now. If he said anything wrong, the mother might change her mind. Of course, that didn't mean he was going to drop it. He was definitely going to corner Zoey after this was all over to discuss exactly what she did to bring Hannah's mother to his side."You know, I never did ask what your power was," he said, changing the topic.
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 27: Exposing the Culprit (2)
Johnny couldn't believe his luck. He needed to inform Zoey right away so she could meet back up with him, but he was shocked to see them not bat an eye in his direction. They were already walking around him, intending to go on their merry way. Wouldn't the other party get angry and demand an apology in this situation? Neither of them had even batted an eye.Snapping out of his daze, he called after them. "Wait."The duo proceeded to give him a look that basically screamed what did he want. They were clearly not in the mood to talk with him at all. Johnny was a bit intimidated. He felt as if one wrong move could get him killed, but he quickly shook those thoughts away. There was no way they would kill him for saying something wrong. It wasn't because he thought they didn't have the heart to kill someone.He was pretty sure they had blood on their hands, even though he had no evidence of it. No, he didn't think they would have a problem dealing with him if they decided they wanted to ge

As everyone gathered around in the hall, several people were deep in conversations with one another. Standing in front of everyone on the stage were Madison and Gabriel, who were anxiously wondering where their son could have gone. They hadn't heard from him since the nasty incident from before. The thought that their son could be bullied crossed their minds.The couple was immediately overcome with bloodlust. They wished they could have done something more, but they couldn't raise a hand since the grandfather had gotten involved. If their son didn't want to make him an enemy, he had to go along and complete the grandfather's request. Madison nibbled on her nail as she contemplated what other problems her son might face.Flames leaked out of her body, causing those nearby to eye her warily. Gabriel was the first to snap out of it and place a calming hand on her shoulder. Realizing what she was doing, she reluctantly reigned in her bloodlust and got her flames under control. This wasn'

However, the only way Johnny could think of resolving the issue was to use what he had seen so far. Taking a deep breath, he erupted into flames. His action was so sudden that everyone immediately fell silent. Those near him actually took a step back to avoid being hit by the sudden burst of flames. Several gave him calculating looks, while others looked impressed. Now that he had everyone's attention, he stopped releasing his flames and said, "Now that I have everyone's attention, I want to say that Isaiah will be in charge of the investigation. He will ensure that every single person involved will be caught." "Every single person?" someone muttered. Another person said, "Doesn't it sound like Charles isn't the only one?" As the whispers got louder, Isaiah stepped forward, and Johnny stepped back. "I'm afraid that I can't say anything more about the ongoing investigation." "Then why did you bring it up now?" a person asked. "That's right. If you wanted to keep the investigation
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 30: Adjusting to His New Life
The next couple of days were quite peaceful for Johnny. Despite how chaotic the first day was, he was left alone by the family. Of course, he spent time with his parents. They had many years to catch up on, but the rest of the family just sort of ignored his existence. He wasn't sure if it was a good or bad thing. On one hand, he was grateful that he didn't have to interact with them at all.Johnny still hadn't gotten any clues about who was trying to get rid of him, and it made him more comfortable to avoid all of them altogether. Also, he didn't get caught up in family drama, which was a plus. On the other hand, he wasn't involved in the family drama. Since no one was talking to him, he could only rely on his parents and servants for gossip about the other family members.He sighed as he flipped through the channels of the expensive TV that he previously wouldn't be able to get several feet of. There was nothing interesting for him to watch. It was just boring news. He was about rea
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 31: Public Appearance
Johnny grimaced as he tried to put on his tie. He had never worn a tie before. None of his previous jobs required him to wear a suit, and it wasn't like he could afford one anyway. During the family gathering, he had gotten away with it by not wearing a tie at all. Unfortunately, his parents insisted that he had to wear a tie so he could be presentable in front of the press."Why is it so hard to wear a tie?" he muttered to himself.As he fought with the tie, his father walked up from behind and asked, "Are you ready, son?"Turning to face his father, Johnny saw his father raise an eyebrow. "Do you need help?""Yes," he said, embarrassed that he had to ask for help from his father.His father took the tie in hand and proceeded to tie it while telling him the proper way to do things. Johnny tried to listen to the instructions, but he was distracted by the way his father looked as he fixed Johnny's tie. Thoughts about everything filled his mind. As his father finally finished making Joh
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 32: Press Conference
Johnny and his parents weren't overly concerned when they heard the question. Even though none of them had wanted it to show up during the press conference, the chances of it happening were too high to ignore. Obviously, the person who leaked the information would also share that Johnny had just received his power. It was too juicy to leave out.They had considered two ways to handle it. One was to lie and pretend that wasn't true. Obviously, that was out of the question. It had only been brought up so they would be on the same page. There were too many things wrong with the idea for it to work. They would just end up digging a bigger hole for themselves. That's why they settled for the second idea."That's correct," Johnny said.He barely finished speaking when the reporters erupted. This time, Johnny used his power to quieten everyone down. There was no way he was going to let his father do it a second time. It was bad enough that his father did it once. He couldn't afford another h
