There was silence on the other end for five seconds before a deep voice responded“Do you not know how to clean up after your mess?”“I apologize for my incompetence father but the Doyenne got involved and she handed the case over to the Federal Ministry of Justice...”“I’m not in the mood to listen to excuses from a whimpering child this night. Only fools apologize for their incompetence, the strong give results, no matter how it is obtained. Your cousin never makes excuses like you do, I almost wonder if you both were exchanged at birth.”“Father…”“I will not clean up after you again. If you cannot handle a mere poor Church rat, would it be two-faced scheming elites with power that you can handle?”Leonard stayed silent on the other end.“I will delay the Minister’s trip to Evertrise, and I will invite the Doyenne away as well. During the period of her absence, find a way to get that vermin expelled! I do not want to hear this case mentioned ever again!” His tone was stone-cold and
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 14. An Unexpected Visitor
With folded hands, she taunted him, “Do you really think Zzemona cares about you? She’s just using you to make her image as a goddess more profound.”“I’m happy to be used if she’s the one using me. At least it shows I’m not as worthless as you lot claim.” He stepped to the side to avoid her but she moved and still stood in his way.Then he stopped, putting his hands in his pocket, he stared at her, waiting for her next move. It was not beyond Anna to scream ‘rape’ in the hallway for no good reason.Anna smirked and stepped closer to him, “why do I have a feeling you are hiding many secrets?” She wrinkled her nose to make the next statement, “If only you did not reek of poverty relief for the less privileged, you would have had a bright future with me.”Sebastian laughed lightly.“I hope you maintain the same energy when I become rich because I won’t let you near my shadow when that time comes.” With that, he turned and went back the way he came leaving behind a fuming Anna. She could
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 15. Guerriero Numero Due
Cecile quickly covered her face with her black hair, tousling it naturally with the fierce wind kicked up by the helicopter, and letting it frame her face, effectively hiding underneath the black curtain of her hair without rousing suspicion from their surprise guests. She was not called the most beautiful of the Belisimi Tre for no reason. She was well aware of her own charm and her instincts as a spy in that instant told her she had to hide away.From all indications, the man who stepped out from that helicopter did not come for her, she was not going to be unfortunate enough to get caught up in something that was not targeted at her, or something that had a foreboding feeling to it when she still had a mission to complete.Sebastian was also taken aback by the surprise intrusion and the manner in which they intruded but kept calm, watching their actions.The handsome young man who first stepped out from the helicopter was dressed to the nines in limited edition wear. One look at him
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 16. What does it mean to be a Man?
The students below who witnessed the helicopter coming and going were shocked and curious as to who could easily move around in a helicopter. Even among rich heirs in the school, not many had the luxury to move that way. And even if they did, not many were permitted by the school to use it, in a bid to level the ground between the rich and poor.They couldn’t see Sebastian and Cecile on the roof, but that didn’t stop the wave of curiosity and gossip that swept over the students who witnessed that scene.After the uninvited guests left, Sebastian allowed his laughter to break free from his lungs, he laughed for a good minute before he managed to ask,“Why were you shivering like a withering leaf?” His light chuckle was still barely suppressed.Cecile adjusted her hair and posture. She looked like a completely different person from the one Alonzo just saw.“I prefer to avoid unnecessary attention, thank you.” Turning to face Sebastian with a quizzical look, she asked,“What was that litt
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 17. Have you no basic Humanity in you?
After working on the project for some time with Cecile, Sebastian excused himself to visit Gramps and Max in the hospital owned by Anna’s family.As Sebastian trekked to the hospital, he was consumed by thoughts of the first quest of the Guerriero trials. He had thought of various ways to raise 30 million USD but hit a wall each time. A week was just too short and now, he only had five days left.This quest was funny to him, if he could raise 30 million USD by himself within a week, why did he need to live in poverty all his life?He knew the answer to his own question. One was, people always took credit for his work, the second thing was that he did nothing to stop them, letting them bully him any chance they got. The third was, other than menial jobs, he never attempted doing another kind of work.Thinking back, he shook his head at his own stupidity. Was he so in love with poverty and pain?He was deep in thought as he rounded the street leading to the hospital. Just outside the mas
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 18. An Unexpected Appearance
Everyone except Sebastian turned towards the direction of the middle-aged voice only to see a man who looked to be in his early 30s.“Why did you stop? If a child commands you to stop you would stop? Is that what you’re paid to do?” Leonard snapped his head away from the stranger and back towards Sebastian and furiously bellowed at the security guards.The security guards snapped back into action but a faint shadow flashed past them at a speed that none of them could follow. All the guards tumbled to the floor limp, unconscious and unable to move. The only evidence of someone passing by was that the man who was speaking before had moved from his far position and was now standing opposite the security guards, standing beside Sebastian.“Kids of nowadays are too impatient. You should be thankful. I just saved your men from sudden death. You would have had to waste money organising funerals, compensating families and covering your tracks. That’s too much work, and it will certainly raise
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 19. A Time-Wasting Distraction
Anna regretted the words she said in that moment so much, that she wanted the ground to open and swallow her up. It could have been her self-preservation instincts kicking in or her disbelief over what she just witnessed but adamantly, she declared,“I do not believe Wintore will let people like you through their gates. If Wintore does not so much as open their gates for you, you will kowtow and bark like a dog before me, right in front of their gates! Are you willing to take up the bet?”It was one thing to embarrass yourself in any random location in the city but it was another thing to embarrass yourself in front of Wintore hospital. Due to the very prestige of the hospital, you could be charged for nuisance for that very act which attracted a penalty of not less than five million USD in compensation for ordinary people.And this amount in compensation was already very generous, considering that ordinary people could not easily bring out millions on a normal day, not to talk of comp
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 20. Wintore Hospital
Wintore Hospital was as imposing as a Presidential residence would be, even more imposing than one. There was a large glass gate-bridge right outside the road leading up to the Wintore hospital estate with these characters boldly written on it,“WINTORE HOSPITAL: HEALTH IS THE GREATEST WEALTH. WE HELP YOU PRESERVE YOUR WEALTH AND SMILE :)”After the large gate-bridge, the road leading up to the hospital felt like the road leading to a completely new country. It had its own security, a serene vibe, the kind that forebodes a simmering dangerous enigma residing within those parts, yet it had an easy vibe to it. Despite the area being off-limits, people were allowed to pass freely, provided they complied with the unique rules of the area. As the cars zoomed through the roads of the hospital, Anna was dumbfounded by the sight she witnessed.While Celestine wouldn’t so much as let ordinary people smell the street leading up to Celestine Hospital, Wintore Hospital, despite its lofty status,
