Albert's eyes opened slowly with his hand reaching for his vibrating cellphone on the nightstand. He turned off the alarm and looked at the clock with his vision still blurry.Arnold's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the clock showing 10 a.m."What? 10 a.m?" Arnold immediately got up from his bed. He rushed to take a shower and changed clothes. With all the panic, Albert went down to the first floor in formal attire.Arnold was sitting in the living room watching television. Seeing Albert who was in a hurry, he asked him."Hey bro, where are you going?" asked Arnold."I have to go now, Arnold! I'm late! My boss will definitely scold me," replied Albert while running towards the door.Arnold was puzzled by Albert's attitude. He had received a report from the manager of Black Pearl Luxury Realty that he had sent an email to Albert to give him a day off. It seemed that Albert had not read the email.He got up from his seat and ran after Albert. "Wait! Albert, wait!" shouted Arnold.
Without any pleasantries or showing a friendly attitude, Clarion immediately asked them in a belittling tone.“Arnold, Albert, what are you doing here?” Clarion asked while scanning their appearance from head to toe. She showed an annoyed expression seeing the presence of people like them there.Arnold, Albert, and Clarion went to the same junior high school. Arnold and Clarion were in the same class, while Albert was in a different class from them. Before Arnold dropped out of school, Clarion often saw him hang out with Albert. She still recognized them as the broke guys.The saleslady was surprised to see Clarion’s attitude. She actually also doubted that the two men could afford a car in the showroom, but she maintained her professional attitude.“Miss Clarion, why do you say that?” The saleslady asked in surprise.Clarion chuckled. “I know them personally. We went to the same junior high school. They are losers, and they definitely don’t have any money, let alone to buy a car here
“Arnold, it seems like this time Steven has been kind enough to give you the car. You can buy it,” Clarion said with a smile.Arnold stared at her sharply because he could smell the plan they were running. He smirked and would follow the flow of the game.“Thank you Steven Ross; you are very kind to finally give up your dream car for me. Therefore, I will buy it.” Arnold’s words dripped with sarcasm.“To be able to get this car, you have to pay 500,000 dollars,” Clarion spoke.Steven held back his laughter hearing her announce the price that had been marked up five times. Arnold didn’t want to spend any more time there, so he took out his card to make the payment.But suddenly Albert stopped Arnold, who wanted to take out his card. "Arnold, I don’t want you to pay 500,000 dollars, because they are tricking you by marking up the price!” he exclaimed while looking at Clarion and Steven in anger.“What do you mean, Albert?” Arnold responded while frowning. Actually, he didn’t mind paying
Evan told Sammy about what had just happened to Claude. After that, they rushed to Serenity Residence because Claude lived there.Claude lived in a type B apartment. His parents actually wanted him to get an A type apartment, but at that time all the A-types were occupied.After arriving at Serenity Residence, Evan and Sammy made their way to the elevator. When the elevator door was about to close, Sammy saw a lady in his sight running after the elevator. He quickly pressed the elevator button so that the lady could enter the elevator.With a smile, the lady thanked Sammy. “Thank you.” The lady was none other than Maria Brunner, who was Arnold’s secretary.“You are welcome,” Sammy replied with a smile.Sammy found himself drowned in Maria’s beauty. Maria didn’t seem to be wearing any makeup, but her natural beauty radiated.“Have they found the whereabouts of Alastair Leth’s martial arts teacher?” Evan asked his son, but he didn’t get a response.Evan realized his son was watching the
“I’m sorry Master; I didn’t mean to keep it a secret. It’s just that I feel like no one has ever cared about me and my mother, so I’m used to keeping our situation a secret from everyone. My mother has been suffering from breast cancer for years. Maybe God loves her more now, so He doesn’t want my mother to feel pain any longer,” Maria explained in a hoarse voice.Even though she was sad, Maria didn’t want to get pity from others. She sighed while wiping her tears. In a polite tone, she asked Arnold to return to his seat. "Please Master Arnold, return to your seat. We came here to have a meeting. I don’t want to waste your time for nothing."Arnold admired Maria’s professional attitude. He got up from there and returned to his seat.Maria started her work again by explaining and presenting her ideas about The Winster Group’s latest projects. After a 2-hour meeting, they left the restaurant to go home.Arnold offered to take Maria home. At first Maria refused, but because Arnold insist
One of the men stepped forward to fight Arnold. He aimed his punch at Arnold’s face, but Arnold blocked it, then twisted his arm until he winced in pain.“Bastard! How dare you touch her!” Arnold shouted in his ear, making the man shiver.The man gritted his teeth with anger in his eyes. He tried his best to free his hands from Arnold’s grip, but it seemed that Arnold was stronger than him.Driven by anger, Arnold pushed him until he fell to the ground. After he was lying on the ground, Arnold mercilessly hit him with a bat stick.“This is the punishment that a depraved man like you deserves!” Arnold shouted with his jaw clenched.The man tried to get up from his fall, but Arnold’s continuous punches left him helpless. Blood flowed from his nose. With a weak voice, he begged Arnold for mercy to stop hitting him.“Please stop. Don’t let me die here. I admit my mistake. Please forgive me,” implored him.Arnold smirked as he stopped his attack. Her gaze shifted to the other two men. Seei
“Nice to meet you, young man,” Mr. Reid said.“Nice to meet you, sir.” Arnold replied with a friendly smile.“Are you Daisy’s boyfriend?” Mrs. Reid asked bluntly. She was amazed by the luxurious car Arnold was riding in and hoped that her daughter would marry a rich man someday.Daisy’s face turned red with embarrassment. She reprimanding her mother. “Mom, Arnold is not my boyfriend. I don’t know Arnold well.”Her daughter’s words did not stop Mrs. Reid from being amazed by Arnold’s wealth. “That car is very cool. Is this car yours?” Mrs. Reid asked straight to the point.Daisy closed her eyes in embarrassment because of her mother’s attitude. “Mom, please don’t ask him about it,” she whispered.“What’s wrong if I ask? I just want to know who owns this cool car,” Mrs. Reid responded curtly.Arnold paused for a moment to observe the attitudes of the people in front of him. He felt that Daisy’s mother was a materialistic person. This was Arnold’s first time meeting them, and their focus
“I teach martial arts for free because I enjoy doing it. Just seeing their progress, it is more than enough for me. I don’t need that wealth. So if you want to find a bodyguard, you can recruit my students.” Carlos’ answer disappointed them. They gasped to see that Carlos was not impressed by wealth.“I am comfortable with a simple life like this. So if you are trying to impress me with money, you are totally wrong,” Carlos continued with a smile.Sammy did not give up so easily. Even though he had been rejected, he still tried to persuade him.“Please, Mr. Rumwhite. It is an honor for us to have a bodyguard like you. We will give you anything you want,” Sammy begged.Carlos shook his head. “Forgive me, sir, but I do not want to be a bodyguard for anyone. I only want to be a martial arts teacher,” he said firmly. He stood up from his seat and gave them orders in a firm tone. “I think our business is finished. Now please leave my house!”Carlos moved his hand towards the door. “What ar
