Andrew only furrowed his brow and gave a cynical look to the man. His right hand continued pressing the old man's jaw, while his other hand now rubbed the chest.
The seemingly absurd action then brought about a miracle. The old man's eyes suddenly opened, and he began breathing rapidly.
"Hey, he did it! He saved the old man!"
Applause filled the air, directed at Andrew. Everyone seemed amazed by the miracle that had occurred for the old man. Andrew extended his hand before the old man and said, "Come on, Sir, let me help you stand, and we can find shelter over there."
The old man smiled and nodded. His frail hand reached out to grasp Andrew's hand. Andrew supported his body towards the bench where he had previously placed his belongings.
"Ah, please have a seat. How do you feel now, Sir?"
The old man looked at Andrew with teary eyes and said, "Thank you for saving me. I believe that if you weren't here, I might have met my ancestors in heck."
"Don't mention it. I just happened to be around, and when I saw you lying weak, I did my best to save you."
"My body feels much better now, I haven't felt this refreshed in a long time. You're amazing, young man."
The sound of a car horn then echoed. A luxurious car was parked by the side of the road in front of Andrew and the old man sitting on the bench.
"Ah, my car has arrived. By the way, what's your name?" the old man asked.
"Andrew, Sir."
"Okay, Andrew. I want you to accept this gift." The old man pulled out a check from his jacket and handed it to Andrew.
The amount of $500,000 was written on the white piece of paper, astonishing Andrew beyond belief.
"Is he crazy? This is not a small amount of money!" Andrew murmured to himself.
"Take it. Perhaps this amount is not equivalent to what you have done to save my life. "
Andrew shook his head and said, "Thank you, Sir, but that’s not necessary."
"You're kind, Andrew. Are you really can’t to accept this?"
Andrew picked up the box containing his belongings and stood up. "No, Sir. Perhaps you can keep it or give it to someone else who needs it more than I do. "
The old man's eyes filled with tears as he watched Andrew walk away. A suited man stepped out of the car and approached the old man.
The old man's expression, which had been weak and pleading, suddenly changed completely after Andrew left.
His gaze turned sharp, and his body and face tightened. He smiled and said to his guard, "I want you to find out all information of that man. "
His guard nodded. Afterward, he got back into the car and drove off quickly, passing by Andrew who was still walking on the sidewalk.
**
"Ah, it has been such a long and exhausting day."
Andrew flopped onto his bed as soon as he arrived home. His mind was still preoccupied with the check given by the old man earlier.
"Damn, if only I had the courage to accept it, I might be out of town on vacation by now."
Andrew's phone vibrated, indicating a low battery. The wallpaper displayed a cozy picture of himself and Nadine.
"I never expected her to leave too. So many things happened today."
Andrew reached for his neck, although the necklace was no longer visible, he could still feel something encircling his neck.
"Let me find out what it is first."
The sunlight streaming through the window in Andrew's room didn't wake him up. It was already eleven in the morning, and Andrew had been sleeping soundly since the previous evening. In fact, this could be considered the first time Andrew had gotten such a long and uninterrupted sleep. However, the ringing of his phone eventually forced Andrew to leave his slumber. His still-red eyes scanned the room for the phone, which was on the bedside table. "Erica?" His younger sister's name appeared on the caller ID, and Andrew quickly answered the call. "Andrew! Hi! Why did it take you so long to answer my call? By the way, I miss you, so I visited your office. I forgot which floor you're on, but I'll wait for you in the cafeteria, okay!" "Erica--" Before Andrew could respond, his sister had already ended the call. Immediately, Andrew got up and hurriedly left the room to meet Erica. Luckily, the clothes he wore yesterday were still decent enough to be worn outside. "This is bad. If she f
"I said, my body is too valuable to sleep with a whore like your sister."Orlando appeared to chuckle, while Andrew, unable to contain his anger any longer, was about to throw a punch at Orlando.However, just before it landed on Orlando's face, Erica screamed, "Stop!"The girl in the red shirt approached Andrew and hugged him tightly from behind. This prompted Andrew to release his grip on Orlando's collar and embrace Erica to calm her down."Don't do anything, Andrew. I beg you. Don't jeopardize your position," Erica whispered.Orlando and Nadine had sinister grins on their faces. Orlando, in particular, remained confident because they were in his father's company. He believed that would protect him from Andrew's attack. As long as they were in his territory, Orlando thought Andrew wouldn't dare to touch him."What your sister said is true, Andrew. You'd better watch your attitude. You might end up without a job in this city. You should understand the power of my family, what we can
"What do you mean, And--"The punch could no longer be avoided. Andrew brutally and repeatedly struck Orlando's face."I'll make sure you die, Orlando! Scumbag!""KYAA! Help!" Nadine screamed, calling for security to stop Andrew.The fight suddenly became its own entertainment for the employees. Instead of separating the two men, they pulled out their phones and started recording."I support you, Andrew!""Andrew is once again providing an interesting entertainment!""It seems like Orlando won't be able to defeat Andrew!"The whispers from the employees only fueled Andrew's madness. His face now had a smile as he watched blood flowing from Orlando's nose.Meanwhile, Erica could only cry as she tried to pull her brother's body. But it was all in vain. Andrew was consumed by his anger and the desire to silence Orlando."Hey, stop it! What are you doing there, disperse!"A man shouted from the hall, suddenly causing the employees who were watching the altercation to scatter in a hurry. H
"Mr. Andrew, I apologize, but we will soon arrive at Mr. William's residence."The voice of the black-suited man who picked them up woke Andrew and Erica. They had fallen asleep after traveling for nearly an hour and a half."Where are we going, Andrew?" Erica asked."Shh, just be quiet. I don't know either, but one thing's for sure, you don't need to worry because I will always protect you."Andrew chose to remain silent and not ask many questions to the black-suited man who was taking him. One thing he knew was that they were clearly far from the city center. In fact, they were surrounded by dense forests, and the quiet roads led Andrew to speculate that they were heading eastward."Look at that!" Erica nudged Andrew and pointed to the window beside her.A magnificent mansion with towering black gates appeared among the trees. Andrew was quite amazed by the sight. Their car followed the road leading to the mansion.Shortly after, the car came to a complete stop in front of the gate
"From the expression you're giving, it seems you're quite interested in my request. Maybe you don't want to accept money, but I will give you something that you truly need if you succeed in healing me." Andrew pondered for a moment. He then saw this as a good opportunity to fix his chaotic life. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Your offer sounds quite intriguing." "Then, I guess we've reached an agreement. So, how about it? Do you want to do it now?" "Before that, I want to know, how do you know that I can save you?" Andrew asked. "I didn't have a heart attack, Andrew. And I know you understand that. It was only you who could suddenly replenish the oxygen that vanished yesterday. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have called you here." Andrew nodded, then said, "Yes, I didn't perform CPR as others would have wanted. I just tried to 'revive' your fading pulse." "And I hope this time you truly revive it, so it will never die again." "I'm saving you, Sir, not making you immortal." An
William smirked, blowing smoke from his mouth and nose. He shook his head and said, "Not now. Although he is the heir to all the wealth, he needs more time to understand. Let him grasp how life works; I don't want to suddenly reveal everything and spoil him with fulfilled desires. My task now is to guide him to control that power. So, keep it secret."The black-suited man bowed his head once again to William and said, "Yes, Sir. I understood.""Okay, please go ahead. Wake them up at five o'clock, we will go to the city for dinner there. I will introduce Andrew to some amazing people who can assist him in his future work," William said.The old man then clapped his hands, and at the same time, all the curtains closed. Right after the man in black left, William, with his eyes closed, said, "Close the door."The door of the room that was previously unseen emerged from above and closed the room perfectly.***Andrew still stood upright in front of the bedroom door. His face widened into a
The classy tuxedo, neatly combed hair to the left side, and bright face made Andrew look different. His steps appeared calm as the elevator door opened. The brown-haired man immediately captivated Erica and William, who had been waiting for him."Oh my goodness, Andrew! You look so perfect!" Erica ran towards her brother, a radiant smile on her face."Not only are you surprised, but I am also quite amazed by my appearance. You look beautiful too, Erica, your red dress is perfect. We should thank Mr. William for making us look classy."William lowered his head with his cane, accepting the praise given by Andrew."You both deserve a luxurious appearance. By the way, we should leave now. And Erica, I would like to speak briefly with your brother on our way to the car."Sure, Mr. William." Erica hastened with one of William's guards, leaving her brother with the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses."So, Andrew, how is it? Are you satisfied with the service I provided? You can tell me if th
"Andrew, I'll meet my friend over there; you can join me later. Enjoy the food," William said, patting Andrew's shoulder before leaving with one of his guards. Andrew nodded and shifted his gaze back to Orlando, who was getting closer. Erica was seen holding her brother's arm, consumed by nervousness and fear. Andrew noticed her anxiety. "Relax, Erica. What are you afraid of from these two fools? They wouldn't dare to touch you. Trust me." "Well, well, no wonder I've been smelling a strong stench. It turns out there's a piece of trash brought by a whore here," Orlando waved his hand in front of his nose. Nadine, standing beside him, did the same. "Who are you calling trash and a whore? It seems like you will back home with a broken leg now," Andrew clenched his fist. Erica, witnessing the situation, immediately pulled Andrew away. However, Andrew held his sister's hand and remained in his position. He showed no fear of Orlando's words. He slowly began to understand the power he pos
Jerome hid under the blanket. What had happened to the three men earlier terrified him."Am I going to die? They definitely won't stay quiet; they'll come back," Jerome mumbled, clutching tightly to the edge of the blanket that covered his body.The sound of a knock on the door startled him, his heart seeming to leap out of his chest. Sweat, which had been absent, now surged all over his body, but the tension eased slightly when he heard his mother's voice."Jerome, are you home?" Meghan, his mother, called out.Jerome quickly hid the necklace he was wearing under his shirt and hurried to open the door for Meghan. His eyes narrowed as he glanced out the window, seeing a man kissing Meghan's neck affectionately."My son! Where have you been, sleeping?" Meghan asked with a broad smile."Who is this?" Jerome asked, looking at the man with jet-black hair who was now fondling Meghan's backside.Meghan pushed the man's hand away awkwardly and was about to answer her only child's question wh
Tampa, January 11, 2024"Jerome, you idiot, can you stop blocking our way!"The shout came from a burly man wearing a black jacket. He was walking with two of his friends, pushing a thin man with curly hair named Jerome Hashford.Jerome, who had fallen, could only look gloomily at the three popular guys on his campus. He then got up and fixed his glasses that had fallen off."How long are you going to stay silent and let yourself be bullied? I'm tired of seeing you like this," said Hans, one of the other popular guys.Hans stood with his girlfriend Margareth, the woman Jerome adored. They both looked furious seeing the three bullies, who were now further away but still laughing."Thanks for the advice, Hans.""I'm not giving advice, Jerome. This is your third year here, and you still stay silent. I mean, why? What are you afraid of? Fight back! You're a man!"Jerome swallowed his saliva and just nodded, saying, "Yes, next time I will try to fight back. I have to go now; I don't want to

The offer seemed reasonable to Calvin, and he handed his phone to Andrew, saying, "Fine! A simple thing that I can easily comply with. Now, make the call, Nania, execute your plan, and be prepared to lose your life if everything fails, Andrew!" "My heart is yours; shoot me if you want. You can sell all my organs on the black market. I'm sure you'll get many times richer because I'm a healthy person. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no drugs, and I don't have any family to look for me if I die. Fair enough, right? At least, your pain from my deception to your mistress can be healed." The nameless old man then nodded and said, "Deal, I agree to your offer! Please get my phone from the car; I left it in the bag under the driver's seat. Let's call Nania now."
Two cold drinks were served on the table in a hospital cafeteria, where the middle-aged woman healed by Andrew was located.Andrew and the man named Stuart sat facing each other. Stuart appeared to be reading a presentation provided by Andrew on his phone."This is an excellent opportunity for me. I, who don't have a background in employment, chosen as a warehouse manager, amazing! I will definitely accept this offer, Sir! I won't waste this opportunity," Stuart exclaimed with sparkling eyes.Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Don't call me 'Sir'; I don't like it. And indeed, this is a great opportunity. You don't need to rent anymore; there's a small house within the vicinity of my company where you can stay. I'll also provide a car for your transportation and supply the groceries and essentials for the house."Stuart was stunned; he chuckled nervously before returning the phone to his hand. So embarrassed hearing what Andrew offered, Stuart ended up finishing his drink in front of him.Andr
Andrew looked gloomy as he stared out of the car window on the way to Stanley's house, the owner of the subsidiary forcibly acquired by William. Roger, noticing Andrew's demeanor, nudged his arm and asked, "What are you thinking?" Andrew raised both eyebrows. "I don't know, just bored, spending time that feels quite monotonous. I'm curious about what made William love a life like this so much." "Money, power, and immortality, the three components always held by William," replied Roger. "Anyway, enjoy what's happening now. After talking to Stanley, let's find some pleasure at the bar." Andrew rolled his eyes and shook his head. "It's not a choice that will make me happy. You know, I--." Andrew's eyes were caught by an elderly woman holding her chest on the side of the road in front of a flower shop. Instantly, he tapped the driver's shoulder and asked to stop. "Why, Andrew?" Roger asked. Andrew didn't speak; when the car stopped, he got out and approached the old woman with white
A group of paparazzi from various local media outlets were crowded in front of Daniella's company, which Andrew would reopen today. Whispers of admiration for the magnificence of this construction company could be heard. Some of them compared it to the grandeur of the late William's company. "It's only natural; she's William's child. It seems she intentionally made her parents' two companies similar!" one paparazzo remarked. From inside the company, Andrew could be seen smiling while puffing on a cigar. Every word from the paparazzi was clearly audible to him. "I wonder about Marcel's reaction. I want to see how annoyed he'll be when he sees this huge company rise again. I truly have become William, haven't I, Roger?" Andrew asked while looking at Roger beside him. "Literally, you are a replica of William. But, I guarantee your pleasure in having two giant companies under your leadership won't drive you to break the rules like William did before, right?" "There's a hint of trauma
