“Twinkle, Twinkle, little star! How I wonder what you are!”With the help of his Life Skills Package, Edward quickly became a superstar of pop music. If he was going to take part in the programs like American Idol on TV, he would surely cause a sensation with his wonderous singing skills.Now, with a grin widely spread on his handsome face, he belted out this enchanting, lovely ditty. The tune’s harmonies resonated within his mind, turning him into a veritable Karaoke virtuoso.Oh, look! How he reveled in the intoxicating melodies! Swaying and twirling with unbridled elation, Edward was now wholly immersed in the symphony of music.Meanwhile, other people on the spot had a mixed feelings of amusement and bewilderment. They had no idea about what was wrong with Edward.“What in the world is the guy up to?” asked the towering figure, quite like a behemoth sumo wrestler, his voice directed at Derek.“I couldn’t tell you, mate. Seems like he’s gone bananas,” replied Derek, also puzzled an
After Edward belted out the final note, the room plunged into absolute darkness in a blink of an eye, not a glimmer in sight. It was as if a shroud of darkness had descended upon everything.Suddenly, a breathtaking celestial radiance adorned the room's ceiling.The celestial radiance transformed into youngsters, each wielding blades glittering with the icy-old stellar light. The youngsters were called the stellar scouts, who wasted no time exchanging hushed words."It appears our master is summoning our attacking power. It's been ages since the last time I unleashed my attacking power," one of them remarked."Indeed! I yearn for the moment our adversary tastes the power of our stellar forces," another added with a gleam in their eye."Count me in!" chimed a slightly plump kid. "Let's employ the age-old technique, Swords of a Thousand Stars, and unleash a coordinated assault upon our foe.""Hold on, that technique's a tad excessive in lethality. It'd skewer the hapless enemy in an ins
After Alex and Derek, the notorious troublemakers from the Sloth Gang, were forcibly ousted, with their tails between their legs, Edward urged Lily to pack her things as quickly as possible. Lily's possessions were not extravagant, consisting mainly of a meager collection of garments and essential items for everyday life. But it was her passion for literature that truly defined her character, as the contents of her suitcase were dominated by a trove of beloved books. "I never fathomed you harbored such a voracious appetite for books," Edward playfully jested. "It’s nothing. During my idle moments at home, books have always been my sole refuge. To tell you the truth, I have harbored dreams of being a wordsmith, a literary conjurer. Alas, though I have devoured numerous tomes, the art of creation eludes me," Lily confessed with a hint of melancholy. "Perhaps I can offer my assistance," Edward offered, a gentle smile gracing his lips. "But aren’t you a trader?" Lily taunted. "How can
As Roger stepped into the chairman's office, a wave of curiosity washed over him, for there sat Chairman Lucas, reclining in his opulent throne of an office chair, his eyes shut in a state of blissful repose."Hello, Chairman," Roger ventured, mustering the confidence of a lion preparing to confront its prey. "How may I help you?"Lucas leisurely unfurled his eyes, unveiling a glimmer of intrigue."Ah, Roger, you have arrived. I have a matter of utmost importance pertaining to one of your underlings.""Oh? Please tell me about it, thank you, chairman," Roger acquiesced, his body bending slightly forward as if bowing before a revered master."Tell me, do you have an employee by the name of Kalina?" Lucas asked."Yes, Chairman," Roger replied, his brow furrowed with bewilderment.Unaccustomed to the chairman's prying into the affairs of his subordinates, Roger felt his thoughts begin to swirl like a tempest.Could it be that the chairman had developed an unusual interest in Kalina? Afte
"What in the world is happening? Is it your time to be working at the office Now?" the manager bellowed furiously. "Well, I just needed a short break at home, and then I had plans to meet up with my clients," Kalina explained. She always did this before, and the manager never made a fuss. What had changed today? Out of the blue, Edward appeared at the doorway as well. "Hmph," Roger sneered with displeasure, "Is this the client you're fixing to rendezvous with?" "Yeah, and what's it to you?" Edward retorted, seething, "Now that you've caught wind of Kalina's business, you can leave." Kalina tugged Edward inside and uttered, "Let me handle it, Edward." "What the heck!" Roger continued, fuming, "Your absence from work has already been reported to our bigwig Lucas. He claims you've been accepting valuable presents from clients. That's a downright breach of company regulations. The chairman sent me to give you the boot." "So, that's why you showed up here?" Kalina's heart sank, grasp
Soon, Edward's phone lit up with a sensational news headline:"FS Hotel Chairman's Despicable Harassment Unleashed, Employee Retaliated and Terminated."Edward wasted no time in thrusting the headline under Kalina's nose."What in the world is happening?" Kalina exclaimed, her brows furrowed in perplexity. "Why is my predicament plastered across the news?"Edward's lips curled into a sly smile."My dear Kalina, this is just the opening salvo of our battle."Kalina snatched her phone and discovered a flurry of missed calls from her manager, Roger. It looked like Roger had been telling her the truth that he had called her many times.Yet, disregarding them with determined purpose, she hastily delved into the news section, where a similar article awaited her:"FS Hotel Chairman's Despicable Harassment Unleashed, Female Employee Bears the Brunt of His Vengeful Firing."She hungrily tapped on the news piece, devouring every word, her resolve unyielding to miss even a single detail.In rece
The Bluesky Café, a stone's throw away from Selina's workplace, was a mere 5-minute journey. The atmosphere inside was as quiet as a ghost town, with only a few scattered housewives gossiping over steaming cups of joe, their eyes glued to their smartphones.The mysterious figure donning sunglasses sauntered in, exuding an air of intrigue. He approached the counter with a casual swagger and ordered a latte, then cunningly sought refuge in a hidden nook, patiently biding his time for Selina's arrival.As he removed his hat, revealing a scalp that had seen better days, he surveyed the scene, savoring his latte like a connoisseur. Alas, he hadn't taken more than a few sips when his liquid treasure vanished, yet Selina was nowhere to be found. He consulted his timepiece, discovering that a grueling 5 minutes had slipped away.A vow had been made to Edward, an unbreakable pact, especially since Edward had furnished him with a hefty sum of 500,000 for the task. Tapping the table’s edge ever
Soon, Edward received a text message from Wayne."[I promise I’ll finish the job perfectly, my dear brother Edward.]"Edward turned to Kalina beside him and said, "The second act has begun. Don't worry, Kalina, I will never let you lose your job, I promise.""Really, Edward? You're so good to me," Kalina's eyes welled up with tears, deeply moved."But that damn Lucas is the chairman of FS Hotel. How can you compete against him?""He will soon be a pauper!" Edward declared.Soon, a new message about the chairman of FS Hotel popped up on their phones.FS Hotel stock price drops from 9 to 4 within half an hour. "What's going on?" Kalina asked in astonishment."Forget who I am?" Edward smirked, "I'm a trader, a very promising trader. Leveraging the scandal of FS Hotel's chairman, Lucas, I have launched my second round of attacks against him. This time, I'm going to significantly shrink his wealth.""You're amazing, Edward," Kalina quickly wiped away her tears and smiled, "Now I finally u
