THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 19. Get Him
Lucian raised his gaze to the shattering rain pouring on the city, leaving the predatory eyes of the men staring from him to the girl handing in his shadow. None of the cars driving by dare to stop or interact, including the pedestrian who instantly retreats away from their destination when they come across the scene, as they assume the men with the mask and bat are from a gang, which always results in Violence. The rain became heavy, and none of the thugs seemed affected by the weather, especially the man who was skillfully swinging his bat, ready to attack.A dangerous smile crawled into Lucian's lips at the adrenaline running through his veins. His eyes watched every move made by his opposition. Predicting the thug's next move, Lucian lunges forward before the man can get closer to him. He quickly ducked his head, avoiding the flying bat that swung above him, and with the force of his clenched fist, he sent a heavy blow into the man's gut.With a loud groan, the masked man stagge
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 20. Saving The Stranger
The man's voice vibrated through the air, making Lucian adjust his gaze to the girl shuddering under the man's grip. The weather, which wasn't helping the situation, soared with thunder, and even the man quickly glanced at the sky before returning his gaze to Lucian. The man scoffs, tightening his hold on his blade. "If you had just done what I asked for, I would have been on my way, and everyone would have been happy!" He yelled, adjusting his gaze to his unconscious men on the floor. “You have to make things difficult by playing a hero, huh?” The loud voice, yelling angrily at Mason, made the girl shiver once more, and even when she tried to maintain her composure, the cold rain pierced into her skin. “Shake one more time and I will slit your throat!” The man yells, and the girl freezes, holding her breath. Hot tears drop from her cheeks as she holds Lucian's gaze. Her eyes secretly beg him to save her, and Lucian understands her pain signals for her to remain calm. Luci
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 1. Lucian
Lucian Morningstar's melodious voice hummed through the streets of Greenvixe City. It was 8 pm, and the breeze that gazed through his tan skin was refreshing. The smile on his face was new, along with the black suit he wore. The only odd thing was the old bicycle, which made a crackling metallic sound as he returned to campus."Good evening, Mr," Lucian waved at the old man beside a counter store. The old man, who immediately recognized Lucain as the only person to tip him a few dollars, smiled at his presence. The pedestrian who walks past the counter store would cover their nose and spit at the old man with irritation. The man was disabled and looked wretched as a result of the harshness of poverty. Some people had even called the cops on him, but the police who discovered the old man was just a homeless man would do nothing.Unlike the others who avoided him, Lucian didn't. He always passed that same route just to tip the old man a few dollars, even when there was a shorter path t
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 2. Humiliated
When Lucian couldn't take his gaze off Veronica, Billy moved closer to her with a smirk playing on his lips. "Why are you standing there like a frozen fool?!" Billy voices ridicule while placing his hand across Veronica's shoulder. Lucian felt his throat tighten with no response. "Do you think someone as pathetic as you deserve someone like Veronica Montez? It is funny how you think she was dating you when she was mine all along," Billy chuckled proudly."W…what are you talking about?" Lucian's voice was small. He couldn't believe what Billy said; he knew how corny and deceiving he was. "That's a lie. You're forcing Veronica to say those words!"Billy laughed, and Veronica rolled her eyes, irritated at Lucian's behavior of not accepting the truth to end his humiliation."Nobody is forcing anyone here, Lucian. It is you who is forcing yourself not to accept the reality that you're a failure," The crowd rumbled with laughter—making Lucian's body crawl with a shiver, electrifying the ha
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 3. A system
The splashing of water soaked Lucian's clothes. He was dragged into consciousness by the cold and pain aching through his entire body. Lucian could tell it was raining but dared not open his swollen eyes. He felt like he had been run over by a truck, and all he wanted to do was stay there until the suffering passed. "Lucian Morningstar," A warm, feminine voice called through the rattling sound of the rain. Lucian didn't know who it was but didn't bother to think due to the stings from his head, and he remained still, waiting for whoever it was to go away. "Lucian Morningstar," the female voice sounded closed, and Lucian grunted when he tried to open his eyes. His vision was heavy and blurry, taking seconds to adapt to the night.He struggled to his feet, but his legs felt jelly, and he crashed back to the ground, coughing out blood. It took Lucian a few minutes to regain his strength, and finally, he staggered to his feet. Lucian turned to the direction of the voice but didn't see
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 4. First Misson
Lucian glanced through the system, and his mouth watered at different abilities he didn't know were possible on Earth. He was excited to test all of them but discovered he needed more points, and his current balance was 10000 SP with a 10 SP spending limit."How do I gain System Points and increase my spending limit?" Lucian asked, noticing that the mind-reading ability cost 10,000 points, which he considered above his spending limit."You can gain more system points by completing tasks provided by the system. Difficult tasks would require using unique abilities available at the system store. Successful tasks would lead to an increase in system points; One complete task equals 10000 system points. Your spending limit would also be increased depending on the difficulties of the task. One failed task would decrease 10000 system points, and If you don't have any system points during a failed task, it would result in physical punishment." Viri explained, and Lucian nodded his head in unde
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 5. Countdown
The countdown stops, and Lycian looks at the sales girl who runs out of the interior room, waving a receipt at Lucian. "It works!" She said, beaming with joy. She was happier than Lucian, who seemed relieved by the news. A smirk appeared on his face. "That was close," Lucian muttered to himself. He shifted his gaze to the sales girls, who were shocked with a pale face staring at the receipt in Anna's hand. "That's impossible!" the sales girl who accused Lucian of not owning a dollar muttered under her breath. The rest of the sales girls found their surprise clogging their throats. "That bitch why must it be her to earn that commission? It should have been me!""Can I use your restrooms?" Lucian asked, and Anna happily directed him.Inside the restroom. Lucian heaves another sigh, then remembers he has not heard Vir's voice since the countdown stop. "Vir?" Lycian called, looking at his reflection in the mirror."Congratulations, Master, you have completed your first tasks! You have
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 6. The Ex-girlfriend
Lucian frowns. "What are you doing here? How did you get in?" his voice was cold as he walked past her. The familiar smell of her perfume lingered around his nose, making his heart sting. It took all his strength to appear emotionless. It seemed facing her was harder than he had thought. "It wasn't locked," Veronica replied, while her eyes examined the room before they landed on Lucain's face. She didn't see any hint of pain in his eyes, so Veronica heaved a sigh and dropped the box she held. "I can return the things you gave. They are cheap, and I don't need them."Lucian clenched his fist and let out a scoff. "Why didn't you just burn them instead of bringing them here," Lucain's voice was so icy that it caught Veronica off guard. She shivered, making Lucian notice she was wearing a handless crop top. The thought of her catching a cold crossed his mind, but he struggled and shook the thought from his mind. She was no longer his business; he didn't need to care for her."I thought y

18. Henry's Demand
Lucian's frowns deepen as he shifts his gaze from the injured men on the floor to the group slamming iron bats on their hands. They all wore black masks except for Henry, who dressed differently from them and wouldn't stop grinning. A satisfied expression spread across his features since his plan to get Lucian off his car in a lone street was successful. Lucian instantly turned to see if the girl he was trying to save was also part of Henry's plan, and when she inched closer to him, she hid her shuddering body away from the prying eyes of Henry's men. Mason shrugged off the thought since she was a victim of Henry's vicious plan. He remembers Henry making threats, but he didn't expect him to pull something like this."I see, you were able to handle these two idiots," Henry said, placing his boot on top of their heads until one of them let out a whisper from the pain. "You must feel like a hero for saving that girl, don't you think?" he grinned, his tone laced with sarcasm, but Lucian

17. Damsel In Distress
The men watched, as the figure exited the luxury car parked in front of them, and a frown appeared on their faces, as they stared at Lucian, who also reciprocated their action with a sneer. The men tightened their hold on the girl, who whimpered with pain escaping her mouth. The taller man, who had a scar on his top brow, scoffs with irritation. “This is none of your busy boy, get lost!” The man growls, making Lucian clench his fist while his legs are rooted to the ground. The shorter man, seeing Lucian, was adamant about their instructions: glance from him to his colleague before pulling out a knife from his back pocket. “You don't want to mess with us, boy! Leave, if you know what is good for you!” the shorter man spat. Lucian stood his ground, sending a dangerous gaze between the men. The shorter man noticed Lucian wasn't scared, averted the knife to the girl's throat and she shuddered with tears flowing down her cheek. “P…Please don't hurt me.“ the girl stuttered, struggling

16. Dinner
Lucian raised his gaze at the person who placed a knock on the front door before entering his office. Anna's figure appears in her new clothes; she wears a red shirt with the restaurant logo printed on it and a matching red shirt that reveals her long legs. After Lucian had resolved the issues with Gladys, he instantly promoted Anna to oversee the staff, working as the frontman of the restaurant, especially the receptionist to avoid the stunt Gladys had pulled. Lucian raised his gaze to meet Anna, who had been on her toes since the few minutes she had been promoted. She cleared her throat and stepped forward. “Sir, your reservation is ready.” She said, with little composure, and even through her professional facade Lucian could see the nervousness lingering in her eyes; she was new to her job and hadn't made any mistake or offended any customer which was the sole reason for her promotion but being in the presence of someone who could make her lose her job with the flick of his fing

15. Consequences
Different feelings soared through the atmosphere. Lucian, who sat in the chairman's chair, proudly raised his head at the revelation. The manager, whose eyes looked like they were about to burst out of their eye socket, stared at Gladys with a white face, while Gladys, whose weight of action and words dawned on her, stood on shaky legs. Her eyes panned at Lucian, mixed with disbelief and panic. Feeling her lungs short for air, she scrambles to her knees. "Please, sir, I didn't know who you were. Please forgive me," she lamented, tears pricking the corners of her eyes. Lucian, who wore a stern expression, stared at Gladys, who continuously bowed her head to the ground, hoping her pleas would ease whatever punishment would be thrown at her.The manager, noticing Lucian's silence, rushed forward, also bowing his head apologiously. "I'm sorry, sir, I have failed to train the staff to have the basic attributes required by a ten-star "restaurant," Mark said, hoping Lucian would give a reply

14. Get Me The Manager
"Call the manager and inform him that Lucian Morningstar is here," Lucian instructed Patricia, who nodded her head while her hand briskly picked up the desk phone to call the manager. Though the sound of owning the restaurant threatened to place a smile on Lucian's lips, he quickly discarded it, as the thought of being underestimated by both Billy and the staff sent rage through his veins. He isn't the Lucian who was being bullied and underestimated by society, and like he had promised, anybody who did that would not go unpunished.A few minutes later, a skinny blonde man in a black suit appeared in the lobby with a nervous smile playing on his lips. When he arrived at the front desk, he shifted his gaze from Patricia to Lucian, whose expression was still cold. Though he hadn't met Mr.Lucian Morningstar, he could tell from the lady's nervous gaze that the young man standing in front of her was their boss.“Pleasant evening, Mr.Morningstar,” the manager greeted with a smile, which Luci

13. You Will Lose Your Job
Lucian's expression was cold as his eyes dagger at the Lady behind the counter. She shrugged her shoulders and adjusted the strand of hair to the back of her ear to show she was unaffected by the rising tension. Billy and Veronica, favored by the situation, had a smile resting on their faces.Lucian clenched his fist. "Is that how you speak to your guests?!" his voice was laced with anger. other customers exiting the Prime Restaurant stared at him and Gladys quickly flashed them a smile before turning to Lucian with a glare."Did you just call yourself a guest?" Gladys pursed her lips, and when Lucian didn't respond, she rolled her eyes, irritated by his presence. "This is a ten-star restaurant for Christ's sake, not a place for poor people like you!""You don't even know me," Lucian replied, his anger disintegrating into a smile. "Of course, I know people like you. You are the type who claims he would be paying for a VIP table when in reality you can't afford to pay for your tuition!

12. A Vip Meal
The couple rested their curious gaze on Lucian. They didn't hide their astonishment as they glanced at his clothes. "What on earth are you doing here, Lucian?" Billy asked with mockery, lacing his tone while he pulled Veronica closer. "Are you stalking us now?" Lucian shook his head. He was aware Billy wanted to provoke him as usual, but he kept his cool because he didn't care about Veronica anymore, making a smile crawl up his face. "I know you are foolish, Billy, but I didn't know you're this dumb not to realize what people do in a restaurant."Billy's face instantly hardened by Lucian's comment, but he forced out a smile masking his annoyance. "The people who come to a ten-star restaurant are not the likes of you Lucian," Billy sneered. "Do you even know how much is a meal in this?""No I don't but I intend to pay for it so get out of my way," Lucian said, making his way to the front desk when Veronica blocked his way. Lucian's expressionless face stared at her before shifting to
