William woke up to a long buzzing sound in his ears. He held his face and said, "I'm not dead yet."The middle-aged man sat up and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a black light emanating from a necklace with red eyes hidden beneath it."I'm still not healed," he muttered. William hit the side of the bed and stood up. He walked weakly towards the door and called for his assistant, sitting and waiting for him."Ugh!""Sir, you should return to bed. You could have just called me instead of exerting yourself," Marcel said, guiding his boss back to the bed."I'm still not healed, Marcel. Why did it take Andrew so long to perform the healing? I'm starting to suspect that he already knows the truth, that he is my son?! What do you think? I can't wait any longer. The effects of this power are tormenting and eroding my body!"William trembled with heavy breaths. He appeared genuinely frustrated with the reality he was currently facing."Calm down, Sir. I think Mr. Andrew has yet to learn anyth
"So, what's your offer, Mr. William? Let me hear it first."William extended his hand to Andrew and said, "Help me sit up."Andrew accepted the hand and assisted the middle-aged man in sitting up. William leaned against the side of the bed and then pointed towards the cigar. Andrew immediately moved and lit William's favorite cigar."Well, I will give you a position in the diamond company. You can work there, consider yourself an intern until you successfully acquire the company as you desire if you manage to heal me. Additionally, I will provide you with a car and cash whenever you give me your power. Of course, it will all be worth millions of dollars. You won't gain those benefits if you remain silent without utilizing your power, Andrew. Consider yourself a doctor and me your patient!""That's it?"William blew smoke towards Andrew's face. "Yes, you can now state your desires. I know you have something in mind."Andrew smirked and folded his hands in front of his chest. "Of course
Andrew was ready, wearing a neatly pressed shirt and neatly combed hair. After a day of rest following William's healing, he was sent by William today to visit the central company where Smith's diamond mine was located."You look handsome! I've never seen you look this great, Andrew!" Erica's eyes sparkled as she looked at her brother, dressed in a dark blue shirt and black pants."If only I could take you along."Erica embraced her brother and said, "It's okay; staying at a five-star hotel for three days is best. At least, I can pamper myself.""Yes, I won't let you be among these people without me. I hope you'll take care of yourself, Erica. If anything bad happens, you have to call me immediately.""Then, how will you reach me? Are you going to use Superman's powers to fly over dozens of cities and cross the ocean?"Andrew pinched his sister's face. "You're always annoying, never changing."The laughter and warmth between the siblings had to come to a halt when a knock on Andrew's
Andrew's consciousness returned as he and his bodyguard were already inside the hotel. The light from the room's lamps dazzled Andrew's eyes. He forced himself to sit up and was wide-eyed in the luxurious five-star hotel room."Good morning, Mr. Andrew.""Morning? What time is it?""It's four in the morning, Mr. Andrew. We arrived here six hours ago, and Mr. William instructed me to give you this drink when you wake up." The bodyguard handed Andrew a can of drink. "This drink will help restore your energy, Mr. Andrew.""Great, thanks. By the way, what time are we going for the visit today? And after you answer my question, can you leave? I mean, are we sharing the same room?"The man in the black suit bowed and said, "The meeting is scheduled for 1:00 p.m., Mr. Andrew, and I have my own room. I am here to monitor your consciousness, Mr. Andrew. Good morning; you can press the number two on the telephone to call me."Andrew raised his eyebrows and watched the brown-haired man leave his
"Hello, Andrew..."A weak voice was heard from the other end of the phone. As Roger hadn't answered his calls, Andrew decided to dial the number left by Nadine."What are you doing? Why are you bothering me? How did you get information about me, Nadine?!"Instead of answering Andrew's questions, Nadine's crying only grew louder. It was so loud that Andrew had to move the phone away from his ear."I don't need your tears. Do you think I'll feel sorry for you? You're mistaken, Nadine. You're not talking to the old Andrew, the one you could manipulate and lie to.""No, Andrew, no! I regret my actions; I'll tell the truth. After Orlando's disappearance, I lost my way. The only thing left was the email address he used on my phone. There was a message offering to inform Orlando about your whereabouts. So, I replied and got the number where you are.""Give me the email you're talking about now!""th008@brz.com, that's the email that sent me the information.""Okay. Listen to me, Nadine. I do
The loud thud from a door being kicked by a man in one of the hotel rooms startled the other two people inside.It was Orlando, the deranged man venting his anger on a door in the five-star hotel."You're truly foolish, Nadine! Everything was going smoothly, and now you let him contact you through the hotel phone? What's the point?! I've told you, minimize the chances of him reaching you through something that's not privately owned! Your brain is too small to think!"Once again, Orlando slammed the side of the door in anger. One of the bodyguards who was guarding him tried to stop Orlando, but the young man blocked him with his hand, gesturing for him to stay away.Nadine's voice sounded panicked and fearful on the other end of the phone. Orlando's anger was truly terrifying to her."Honey, I didn't know. It would be best if you had told me in detail. Besides, you already obtained his location. You can keep an eye on him, right? Aren't the members inherited from your late father scatt
Andrew's cynical gaze was evident as he arrived at the hall of the late Smith's mining company. Andrew's ordinary stature and slim body caused people to look down on him.Indeed, a weak figure was the most suitable label until people discovered Andrew's hidden power."Hmph, those girls, they think they can mock me? My money can easily silence them; I guarantee it. I could ask them to jump from the highest floor, and they would do it if it's about money!" Andrew grumbled inwardly.The dismissive attitude of the women towards Andrew became even more apparent as he approached the receptionist. Two out of three women standing nearby seemed to chuckle, mocking Andrew's arrival."Good morning; I'd like to meet Mr. Rudolf. I'm a representative of Mr. William.""What did I say? He needs to be the one leading this company! He's just a messenger!""You're right; I wouldn't tolerate having a weak and unappealing leader like him! Besides, his face doesn't support our cause at all!"Andrew smiled
The gaze of all the company's occupants, who had previously appeared scornful and mocking towards Andrew, completely changed after the incident involving Rudolf. The news quickly spread to the ears of all the employees. Even the two women who had received a reprimand from Andrew earlier warned other women not to disrespect Andrew."Alright, everything is clear now. This is sufficient to report to Mr William; great. I have to leave, it's already late, and I'm tired. By the way, I might come again next month, Mr. Rudolf."Andrew put the files in front of him into his bag. The five o'clock clock made him realize he had been in the office for a long time. Initially, he was scheduled to come for only three hours, but everything was delayed because Andrew meticulously examined every aspect of the company.Even though he had transformed into a person with great power, he never forgot his passion for work. Taking on a job like this made him very happy, especially since it was Smith's company.
