Seth was so astonished by Damien's aura that he involuntarily took a step backwards. By the time reacted, he was vexed and infuriated. He was frightened by a good-for-nothing. Although it was only for a moment, it was still a huge insult!“Shut up! What do you know? Even if Young master Seth made a mistake and bought the wrong thing, it was not deliberate! What nonsense are you spouting about radioactivity? A loser like you knows nothing!” Joana yelled at Damien.One of the relatives with a beer belly stood up and chimed in“Exactly! I've never heard of heinrichite before. How can a good-for-nothing like you know what it is? Don't make up a name and try to fool us with it!”Damien's eyes were icy cold. Joana was Amelia's mother so he could not humiliate her, but the other relatives were different. He walked towards the relative with a beer belly and said“Since you're saying that I'm making up stories and that this thing is harmless, try it yourself.” Damien handed the diamond debris
Damien approached Amelia, his eyes locked on hers, filled with a mix of determination and desperation. Ella, the little girl Amelia had adopted, gazed up at him with curious eyes."Amelia, please listen to me," Damien started, his voice low and urgent."I didn't abandon you. I swear on my life, I never left you willingly."Amelia's expression remained icy, her grip on Ella tightening. She was doing her best to hold back the pain and tears that threatened to burst forth."Don't lie to me, Damien. I saw the note you left. You made it clear you couldn't handle our life together. I know how unfavourable being with me has been, but couldn't you have said it to me face to face? Why dump me like one dumps a used tool?"Damien's face contorted in anguish. The Davidsons had upped the game by even forging a note and dropping it where Amelia would see it. And the moment they saw that Amelia had believed their blatant lie, they had then put a call to Seth Cockroach.. oh how Damien wished he could
«Ding!The host has completed the goal of 'Acquire a company's.The host has been awarded two million dollars and one random skill has been unlocked.Random skill: martial arts super expert.New mission: Build and Equip your company.Reward: Ten million dollars.Failure: None.»Damien hummed his favourite song 'God Did' as he drove back to the hotel.*Damien sat in front of his computer, sipping a glass of whiskey as he browsed through LinkedIn and other professional networks. He needed a team of experts to help him grow GreenTech Industries. After hours of searching, he finally found four potential candidates.He began the video interviews, starting with Dr. Nathan Lee, a renowned renewable energy engineer."Dr. Lee, thank you for joining me today. Can you tell me about your experience in the field of renewable energy?""Of course, Mr. Hawks. I've spent over a decade developing innovative solutions for sustainable energy production. My expertise includes solar, wind, and hydropower
Seth paced back and forth in his office, his face red with rage."I can't believe it, Jordan! That damn Damien didn't die like he was supposed to! Worse is that I feel like Amelia is still in love with that trash! What does she see in that dead weight of a man!? I'm not ten times, no, a thousand times better than him!? And now, some mysterious Mr. Hawks has bought the company I wanted! It's a disaster! It's as if the universe is conspiring against me!"Jordan, his head of security, stood calmly, his eyes fixed on Seth. He was also shocked when he saw Damien standing by the door that night, without as much as a scratch on him. It was as if he had magically healed of everything. Jordan was sure he had broken every single bone in that lean body of his, and he even went as to slit his throat even when he was beaten to death just to make sure Damien was truly dead. Yet not even a thin line on the throat to indicate he has used a blade to cut it was seen. Damien was hale and hearty. So eith
Damien wasn't the only one chosen by a Celestial to receive a system or get a second chance. There were two more.. and one of them already got an early start ahead of the others.*Triton City.A BMW X7 can be seen stopping in front of a five-star hotel, the driver steps out and opens the back door, and out comes the most gorgeous man ever seen; dark blond curly hair, immaculate shaped oval face with a square jaw, ruby lips, gold coloured eyes and well toned tall body, his surpassed all sexy models in all of Triton City. Dressed in a custom-made golden suit, he strolled into the hotel, heading straight for the receptionist.“Hello Miss.” the man said with a smile that can make a thousand girls faint.“He..hello..sir” the female receptionist struggled to speak as she was mesmerized by the gorgeousness of the man in front of her.“Is the suite free? I will need it,” he said, his smile still on his face.“Of course Sir. Your name Sir?” she replied with her head down so as not to lose foc
The next day Maximus thought it was best to establish himself as soon as possible, thus he left the hotel and decided to return to the bank, he aimed to enquire about the possibility of buying a company building and a house. He didn't want to go to any agency as that would cost him more.Maximus called his driver after he had his shower and breakfast, then he picked up a new gold suit, wore his pair of gold shoes and then went to the elevator which took him downstairs. His driver was waiting for him in the reception lobby.“Good morning Mister Gayle Sir, where do you wish to go today?” the driver, a bald-haired middle-aged man, was of common blood with no affinity to any element whatsoever.“Morning George, take me to the bank. It's important.” Maximus said with the air of a rich businessman.“Right this way sir.” the driver gestured to the car outside.Maximus walked to the gold-coloured BMW X7, he had specifically money to get it painted yesterday, for now, this will do, he plans to
Maximus was now headed to an Estate management agency. Esther had told him that if he wanted to buy a house, they were his best bet. The gold-coloured BMW X7 cruised through the city of Triton and entered the Gonzalez district, this district was owned by the Gonzalez family clan, they were known to be formidable and unrestrained, one could think of them as a Mexican gangster family.“Be careful, the Gonzalez family controls this district, they are known to be shrewd and sometimes they tend to extort money from rising rich men,” Esther advised.“Don't worry. The agency is just a few more blocks from here, right?” Maximus asked while swerving from the disturbing topic.“Yes Sir,” she replied but she still wasn't at ease. Maximus could feel her emotions bubbling, he gazed at her hands and saw they were balled up into fists.“What tragedy did you suffer in this area?” Maximus asked her.“Huh!?” Esther stuttered taken aback by Maximus' question.“Something happened to you here, Am I right?
[A face-off between two candidates other than Damien was just about to take place].Ren walked into the grand Hall of the Chamber of Commerce, his eyes adjusting to the sleek, modern interior. He approached the reception desk, where a stern-looking woman with a tight bun and glasses gazed at him disapprovingly."Can I help you?" she asked curtly."Hi, I'm here to inquire about starting a company," Ren replied, his enthusiasm undeterred."I'd love to speak with the manager, please."The receptionist raised an eyebrow."You're a student, aren't you?"Ren nodded, his backpack slipping off his shoulder."Yeah, I'm a college student. But I'm also an entrepreneur. I have a great idea for a VR game company—"The receptionist cut him off, her tone firm but condescending."I'm afraid our services are for established business professionals, not students. Come back when you've graduated and have some real-world experience."Ren persisted, his determination evident."But I've done my research, an
