Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 60: Back at the Starting Point
Johnny didn't give the other person on the other end to speak and hung up. It really felt good to cut ties with them. Now that he was a blessed he could do other work that would pay him far better than the company could and provide him with a lot more benefits outside of what the government provided. Being a blessed was the dream occupation anyone could strive for.At least that's how it looked on paper. He frowned as he continued driving. Johnny had his doubts, given his experiences during the test. While they were most likely wrong on some parts, there were some parts that the system had to have gotten right. It wasn't hard to imagine those on the lower end being taken advantage of and then thrown away, but he wasn't going to let that happen to him.Pulling up in a familiar place, he stopped the engine and stepped out. There was quite a lot of damage with the blessed and police working hard to fix up the place. Surprisingly, the building he had been at was still in good condition. I
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 61: Bargaining to Stay
The man looked Johnny up and down. His eyes were partially judging him, and Johnny couldn't blame him considering how he looked. Johnny had only gone grocery shopping, so his wardrobe was still the same. In fact, he hadn't washed his clothes in over a week, so he probably smelled. The humiliation burned, but he had to suck it up.Well, that was in the past. He would no longer have to endure the humiliation of walking around in his dirty clothes. However, when he thought about it, it was odd that no one else had shown any signs of disgust. While he did his best to look as presentable as he could in clothes that hadn't been washed in a week, they couldn't have missed the smell.Johnny supposed it was their way of being polite. Rather than point out that he smelled disgusting and embarrass him in front of everyone, they minded their own business. That was probably the socially correct thing to do. Of course, this situation was entirely different, and Johnny could already guess what the m
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 62: Moving In
Johnny put away the last of his groceries in the fridge and closed the door. Rolling his shoulders to get the kinks out, he took a moment to scan his new apartment. It was decent despite the monster attack in the area. It looked mostly unaffected, except for some issues with the plumbing and electricity, which were to be expected. After all, there had been a monster attack.He took a seat on the couch as he contemplated his new place. It was far from the worst he had to live in. It might also be better than the last apartment where he lived with his ex girlfriend. While the thought made him happy thinking about how he was moving up in the world, he also wondered what had happened to her and her new man after being dragged away.The couple would undoubtedly be furious about their treatment and find a way to come after him for revenge. He wasn't sure how high up the man was, so it might take some time before they bumped into each other again, unless his luck was horrible. As soon as he
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 63: Round Two
At the end of Johnny's tale, Frank sighed. "I know that there are blessed who let power get to their heads, but attacking the civilians is a no go. Can you tell me his name?""Unfortunately, no. He didn't give me his name before he beat me up," Johnny said.There was no way he would have forgotten the guy's name if he had. Johnny would have burned it into his memory as he plotted a way to get back to him for the humiliation or not. It wasn't like he spared any memory for his ex girlfriend's name. He did not, but he would rather he hadn't. Remembering trash like that wasn't good for his health.Frank frowned and rubbed his chin as he said, "It'll be difficult for me to find him without a name. Do you have anything to go on?""He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He basically looks like one of those generic arrogant rich boys, but he isn't that high up. I believe he said he was rank C," Johnny said.The corners of Frank's mouth twitched at the description before he said, "I'll do my best t
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 64: Police
Shockingly, or perhaps not shockingly, Johnny's ex girlfriend screamed, "What do you think you're doing? Get your hands off of him, you sicko."Johnny stared in disbelief as she tried to tackle Frank. The more he watched her struggle against Frank, the more he felt like he had seriously dodged the bullet. Dating someone as crazy as her wouldn't be good for his health. From where he was standing, he couldn't see her man's expression, but he was sure that he was probably regretting hooking up with her."Ma'am, I suggest you stop before I have to use force on you," Frank said as he continued to hold her back with one hand.She yowled like a cat as she tried to claw at his eyes. Frank sighed before knocking her out with a punch. Johnny blinked in surprise as she dropped like a stone and lay on the ground, not moving. He didn't expect Frank to actually hit her since he could get in trouble for using violence against her. As if sensing Johnny's gaze, Frank looked over his shoulders."I won'
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 65: Karma
The police never actually got in contact with Johnny after he gave his information, or rather, it was Frank who kept him up to date as he went about his daily life. He had completely renovated the place to his liking and done a bit more shopping. It was probably not wise to renovate the place when he intended to find a new place in the near future, but he wanted to at least feel comfortable in his current place."So it's finally over?" Johnny asked after he finished swallowing a bit of his burger."Yeah, they've been found guilty and are currently being punished for their actions," said Frank as he took a drink of his soda.No one seemed to notice that two blessed were sitting in the middle of the fast food restaurant, nor that one of them was from one of the seven families. If they did, Johnny was sure they would have gone crazy. He was honestly surprised that Frank invited him to grab a burger instead of dining out in one of those fancy restaurants he would have been to before.If h
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 66: First Mission
"What's your business here, sir?" the woman at the counter asked as she glanced up from what she was doing."I'm here to perform some missions," Johnny said as he leaned over the counter.The woman immediately stood up as she grabbed a binder. "Oh, do you need an explanation about how this works?"Johnny shook his head. "No, just please show me what you have."While she looked doubtful, she handed the binder over for him to see. He accepted it with ease and took a seat. It was funny how outdated their system was. Instead of setting up a website or some kind of online board, they decided to go with paper. He scanned his options as he debated which one he should pick. It had to be something worth his while.However, it had to be something that would be plausible for his first mission. Since he had just become a blessed, it didn't make sense for him to choose a mission that was extremely difficult. On the other hand, he didn't want to waste his time on tasks that provided him no benefit
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 67: First Mission Complete
Johnny waited patiently for his time to come. The other man kept shooting him glances, obviously wondering when Johnny was going to get tired of waiting and do something about it. It was understandable. There was literally nothing to do. While Johnny did have his phone that he could use to surf the web to hold off the boredom, it wouldn't be a productive use of his time.Of course, Johnny only put on an act of browsing the web. In actuality, he was listening in on the other man's thoughts. It was the reason why he had been willing to stick around for so many hours. Johnny had wanted to see if he could learn of some useful information that he could use for blackmail. So far, he had learned a few interesting things, but they weren't that useful.He didn't need to know about the man's love life or where he was going to eat once his shift was over. Just as Johnny thought he wouldn't get anything useful out of the man, the man suddenly thought about the Lopez family. In an instant, Johnny
