“What was that?” This question was directed at a 19-year-old boy with blue eyes and short pony-tailed hair. Despite his unhealthy looks, this boy was very handsome with pale white skin and the fury and sadness burning in his eyes could not be mistaken and right now, he was currently kneeling, not of his own will, but he was being forced to do so by the two burly men beside him.“I said you should all apologize for what you did to my mother. Her death is on your hands.”Tears trickled down his eyes with his words directed at all the people here, most especially the man seated directly in front of him, whose eyes were emotionless while staring at the kneeling figure. Charles, the boy who was on his knees and was once considered a part of this family was driven away with his mother by them or more specifically, the man in front of him who was the head of this household and also his father.This happened two years ago, and it was barely a year later that his mum ended up dying in a myst
3 days…That’s how long it’s been since his visit to the estate company. His movement has been restricted for his recovery, thanks to Victoria.Turns out that she wasn’t lying about having the power to act on whatever she deemed good for him. At this point, he was wondering who was under who. The most surprising thing was that all his injuries were almost completely healed, including his dislocated hand. So he no longer wore an arm sling. Right now he was seated outside after an early morning jog.He’s been doing this for the past three days. The Charles right now was different from the Charles just three days ago.He looked healthier, more fit, and most especially much more good-looking.The treatment and medication he was being given weren’t normally enough to make him turn out like this as he was recovering 2x faster than he expected.All this was due to his system.“Open status,” he said internally as a blue screen only he could see appeared.[Name: Charles Alistair] [Affluent
Charles was riding back home in a limousine with Walter who was driving it. He decided to save the last condition for later and just head home.Not wanting the attention which came with escorts, he dismissed the rest. But he was sure that certain measures were still put in place for guaranteed safety.The ride has mostly been quiet with Charles's thoughts being on his mother. If she was only alive to see him now.He promised to be very generous when paying back all the pain he passed through. The silence reigned for several more minutes as he realized he walked a lot of distance.Walter was the one who broke the silence. “I have to say, young master. I’m impressed. You surpassed my expectations of you. I’m sure you’re going to accomplish many great things in the future.”After all the insults he has been receiving it felt good to be praised like this but Walter wasn’t done.“But there are some things that I would like to correct.” “Go on,” Charles said wondering if he did anything
At first, many were surprised, but then again, who wouldn’t want a beautiful woman like Miss Stacey for themselves? It pained the other employees, but for the sake of their jobs, they prayed for her to leave.Stacey on the other hand wasn’t too surprised as she expected something like this.But contrary to whatever they believed was his motive for doing this, the true reason behind this condition was right in front of him. Just that only he could see it.[Potential Ally Found]He was surprised and confused seeing this from the system but the information which flooded directly into his brain helped him to understand better.This was a function set in place to help him recognize people who could greatly assist him on his journey.This sounded quite overpowered for a world like this, but it wasn’t as invincible as he initially thought. First of all, it can only detect people who can help him presently.S
Everyone kept staring at this, not yet comprehending what was happening here. “Young master, you should’ve brought some people if you wanted to leave and why did you choose to come to a place like this?” It was the representative who spoke up.“I just wanted to check out something by myself. I didn’t see the need to bring anyone with me. Sorry, if I worried you,” Charles replied as they raised their heads.He recognized three people here.The person being referred to as a representative was of course Walter and the two men who had given him the watch earlier.“There is no need for you to apologize. I hope you aren’t hurt.”Walters' eyes were already scanning to see if there were any injuries besides the one he already had.“You don’t have to worry. I’m fine. But how did you know where I am? I also don’t remember calling you guys.”It was quite confusing to him along with how quickly they arrived, well prepared.“The watch you were given has a special sensor that can detect when your

The woman was now completely pissed.“Is this a joke to you?! Do you know where you are?!” Her voice was really loud, so a lot of attention was drawn to them.Charles shook his head with a sigh. “Just tell me the price lady. Let’s get this over and done with.”“Is that how you want to play it huh? Then let’s do this. I’ll tell you the price and WHEN you fail to pay. You would be met with severe punishment and believe me, that isn’t something supposed to be on your bucket list.”‘Look at her go!’ Charles stared blankly. How can she be so sure that they couldn’t afford it?“You know what. Let’s just leave. Forget about everything I said,” the man said, regretting that he involved him, but Charles didn’t budge.“That’s no way to make a deal.”The woman was the one now confused. So he went ahead to enlighten her further. “What would happen to you WHEN I pay?”“Huh?” her eyebrows furrowed.“Ah! Yes!” a grin appeared on Charles’s face. “You’ll have to quit your job then.”“Outrageous! Who
After walking for some minutes, he ended up gathering some information about this place from his conversations with others and overhearing some as well. As expected, the city was pleasing to the eye. The people keeping the street tidy were doing a great job.Electricity, water, and every other thing provided by the government were in the best of conditions in every single area but surely, the taxes being collected was not little either.This was one of the reasons why not everyone could live here. Even the things being sold were more expensive than in most cities. He was thinking of a way to start making money. With the amount he had capital was in no way a problem.Still in thought, he noticed a man walk out of a shop, which was quite large. He didn’t seem happy and slightly pale. He looked like someone decent, so Charles took the initiative to approach him.“Good day, sir,”“Good day son, how are you doing? Seeing your condition, I’ll say not too well.”Charles brought his gaze t
Starlight City was one of the biggest and most prominent cities in the world. It would rank no lower than 5th and was definitely not a place for the poor, as even average people would find it hard to survive here. Several first-class and many more second, as well as third-class families reside here along with the best of schools, hospitals, hotels, and many more.The city got its name from its beautiful lighting which was more noticeable in the night.Thousands of different coloured lights, which even formed constellations when looking from an aerial view.They say it’s one of the best scenes in the world.The wish to go for a walk began to grow.“For my second question, just to be sure, this is a 1st class family right?” “Yes, young master and you’re now a part of it.”Charles sucked in cold air, he still found it unbelievable how he got himself here and everything that has happened so far.“Lastly, why did I get adopted by Arthur?”“I don’t know the reason for the lord’s decision,
Suddenly hearing this shocked every single person including Daniella who hadn’t shown any emotional change.But Charles was shocked for two reasons, one was because of what his ears just heard and the second was what he was seeing.[You have been offered membership into a first-class family as the son of the head][Do you wish to accept][Yes] [No][Rewards for accepting: ???]This was why he failed to notice as every other person kept glancing back and forth at him and Arthur.“Arthur, can you please explain what you mean.” It was Nate who spoke up. His tone was respectful as not only was Arthur the head of the family, but he was also his elder brother.Arthur looked towards him. “Just like I said, I’m adopting him into this family as my son. So you should all treat him with the respect he deserves.”“But…”“I don’t owe explanations to anyone here,” he said cutting Andy who was beginning to speak short “Or does anyone have a problem with it,” his expression was neutral, yet, it domi
