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
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 33: Disaster
It in fact did not end there. It took almost an hour later before Johnny could finally escape the vultures. The only reason why it didn't take longer or shorter was because he was trying to avoid making things worse. His parents getting more involved might have ended things early and caused the reporters to somehow twist it into something else.Johnny wiped the sweat off his forehead as he collapsed onto the sofa, ready to pass out from everything that had happened. "How bad was it?"His parents grimaced as they glanced at each other before his mother said, "It could have been worse."He wasn't reassured in the slightest. She was clearly trying to cheer him up, but it just showed how badly things turned out. If it weren't for that question, he wouldn't have been caught off guard, and things wouldn't have gotten ugly. Just thinking about it made him angry. Why would they even bring it up in the first place? Where had they gotten that information?There was no way the other two parties
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 34: A New Quest
Johnny would take what he could get. Even though it wasn't a power that would make him smarter, having the power to recall everything in perfect detail wasn't anything to scoff at. He could just read all the books and papers related to running the family and bring up the memory to deal with whatever issue that might appear."How can I get that power?" Johnny asked as he sat up. "Will the system just give it to me, or do I have to do a quest?"Speaking of quests, he hadn't asked anyone if they also received quests from the system. There were no mentions of quests in the news when people talked about the blessed, and no one in the house had talked about it within hearing range. He guessed it was another special privilege he got, though it would be great if he could get it for free like he did with his healing power.[The user is quite smart.][The user will indeed have to complete a quest before they can obtain a new power. The user's acquisition of their healing power was an exception.
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 35: Meeting Again
The next couple weeks were spent looking up what Johnny was supposed to do as the heir and trying to come up with a way to complete the quest. The former wasn't actually that hard. His parents didn't exactly ban him, so the servants had no reason to keep him from studying. For the latter, he was still gathering up ideas and coming up with plans on how to deal with them."Young master, I apologize for disturbing you, but the ladies from the Martin and Wright families want to meet with you," the servant said.Johnny dropped the meatball he was about to eat back onto the pasta. He must have misheard. He swore the servant had just said that those two women from before were waiting for him. It was a good thing his parents were there or who knew what their reaction would be. The servant would likely be kicked out for saying anything."Prepare a room. Keep them occupied until I'm ready," Johnny said.While he might not know the full details behind their visit, he was certain it had to do wit
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 36: Fight Between Johnny and Rachel
The servants immediately panicked and ran away from the fight that spilled into the hallway. None of them were crazy enough to get in the middle of two very powerful blessed. They wouldn't stand a chance against them. Johnny cursed as he tried to avoid using his power. Unlike with Rachel's power, his would do a lot more damage. He didn't want to accidentally set the whole building on fire.While he was sure that his parents had some countermeasures in place, considering they are a family with fire powers, he still didn't want to risk it. Dodging a blast of wind, he was surprised to see it didn't actually do that much damage to the wall. There was only a small indent. Either she was going easy on him or the walls were really strong to withstand the attacks.One glance at Rachel told him that the former was unlikely. He wondered what his family used to make the walls so durable. Another blast of wind ended those thoughts as he tried to find something to defend himself. His foot kicked a
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 37: Brief Reprieve
As the two women glared at him, Johnny grimaced. Maybe he shouldn't have provoked them. The moment the thought crossed his mind, he shook his head. No, they would just walk all over him if they thought he was weak. They weren't the kind of people who could be reasoned with. He seriously didn't have any luck with women."They'll be leaving," Johnny said to the servants."Hold it. We never said anything about leaving," Rachel said as she took a step forward.Johnny allowed a bit of fire power to peek through and cover his body with a thin layer of heat. "Are you sure you want to stick around after everything that happened? You do know what this looks like, right?"Neither of them were bothered by the heat radiating from his body. If he hadn't used it before, they didn't think he would really use it now. However, what he just said made them pale. The both of them had secretly traveled there to confront Johnny, or at least they tried to minimize the number of people who knew that they wer
