“Sir, this is a welcome gift prepared by other shareholders. It's the number one villa located at the heart of blue sea manor.”
“Let's go see this place,” Eren said at once. He needed a house and one fell right in his lap.
Mr. David affirmed as he drove Eren to Bayside district, a district for the wealthiest of the wealthy where an inch of land is gold, villa number one is the best villa out of the 40 villas that graced the area.
“Mr Eren, this is villa number one,” David said as he pointed towards the distance.
What came into view was an enchanting villa that perfectly combined ancient European architecture and the beauty of Chinese tradition.
Eren entered through the European-inspired doorway with intricate stone carvings of Greek mythology. The foyer had a mosaic floor and eloquently framed Chinese calligraphy.
The villa is divided into 4 gates which are north, south, East, and west with each gate having a total of 6 rooms.
The living room and European antiques such as the Louis XIV-inspired chaise lounge coexist harmoniously with Chinese lacquered furniture adorned with symbolic motifs.
The walls were decorated with famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa painting and the painting of the children offering up the immortal peaches, and Chinese scrolls were unveiled to reveal serene mountain vistas.
The dining room is a culinary masterpiece, featuring a grand crafted from polished European oak intricately designed with red bloody peony flowers, overhead, a chandelier reminiscent of European crystal brilliance shines brightly on the room, casting its warm soft glow on the delicate Chinese lanterns made with golden foil papers.
The bedrooms were decorated with king-sized beds draped in sumptuous Chinese silk that had patterns of dragons and phoenixes, a European fireplace complemented by Chinese wooden screens was right in the eastern part of the room.
The walk-in closet had an abundance of clothes, shoes, and other products, it was said that the moment any of the designer brands produced any new clothes, they were first delivered to villa number one.
The villa had a swimming pool on the inside and a pool on the outside. The underground section of the villa has a cinema and a mini bar by the side, while the last room in the west gate has a karaoke machine and a game arena.
The garage was simply a collection of luxurious and antique cars that were worth more than a billion dollars.
The beautiful sprawling garden had varieties of flowers ranging from European roses, daffodils, lilies, red peony, and wisteria creating a wonderful scene of colors and scents.
Amidst this oasis, a beautiful outdoor tea house is located where morning tea is served as one gazes at the beautiful scene.
“This is okay,” Eren remarked as he finished touring around the building.
Mr. David nodded but deep down he was shocked this villa was unlike anything ever seen before, the architect was a strong lover of the arts and thus embedded his love in the design, coupled with the high building cost, the villa was priced at an astronomical price of 7 billion dollars, this made it almost unbearable and all Eren said was okay, David almost had a mental breakdown, he hurriedly thanked Eren and left with a bitter heart.
As Eren settled in, he began to crosscheck his stats and found out that he had 3 unused lottery chances. “Fred, draw the lottery,” Eren said.
A giant spinning wheel appeared out of thin air with different colors, white, yellow, green, purple, and gold.
[ The colors specify the different levels of gifts, white-poor, yellow—slightly poor, green — average, purple -exceptional, gold-divine gifts, the probability of getting a divine gift is one in a million]Fred kindly noted from the side.
Eren nodded and spun the wheel, the wheel turned and finally, the arrow stopped at the purple color.

Congratulations on acquiring the Bugatti Centodieci, the car is parked in your garage and the key is in your inventory. Congratulations on acquiring 67% shares of Bugatti]
Eren spun the second time and got a green gift [ding!!! Congratulations on acquiring the best winery in Italy. Congratulations on acquiring 90%shares of Armani]
The third time, his luck played in and he got the divine level reward.
Ding! Congratulations on getting advanced medical knowledge. A whole influx of knowledge bombarded him as his knowledge transcended that of any mortal man in the field of medicine, why he can't raise the dead, at least he can save a person an inch away from death.
Ding! Congratulations on getting advanced taekwondo skills. Different styles of taekwondo skills rapidly drilled into Eren's head as if he were a veteran fighter, he felt like a kick could spill Iron.
Ding! Congratulations on getting investment guru skills, anything that you invest in will have 70% success.
Ding! Congratulations on getting, 8000BP
Ding. Congratulations on getting the map to Fred's family.
This is incredible, Eren said with clenched fists, this was just what he needed right now, Fred's death has been a thorn in his heart and Fred's wife and daughter (Sean and Nina) are the only way he can redeem himself before his best friend, he must save them from Malcolm.
Eren hurriedly checked the map and saw the location was in an isolated north of Patmos, it was an island filled with landmines and other deadly traps.
Most called it one of the seven forbidden zones on planet Earth. “This bastard, how could he be so inhumane, how can he send them to such a death zone where even the bravest of men dares not boost to go, so far, not a single soul that ventured inhale returned alive safe for the one man who died few seconds after he struggled out, Malcolm, l swear you will have a fate worse than death,” Eren said hoarsely?
As he was still cussing Malcolm, a knock on the door broke this cuss. Hissing, he stepped towards the door and opened it.
As he lay his gaze on the intruder, a mixture of Surprise and shock passed through his eyes.
“Yuri!” “Eren!” The two people said in unison as they stared at each other. “What are you doing here” Eren asked Yuri “Well, my father sent me here to greet the tycoon who bought villa number one” Yuri replied as she threw back her question “How about you, what are you doing here, he… Don't tell me you are the tycoon's son, wow, l need to not judge by appearance, who could have thought that you had such a rich dad with the way you dressed” Yuri replied to her question looking convinced of her logic as she kept nodding her head.Eren: (…) What the hell is going on in this girl's mind? Uhm, l am not a son, l am the tycoon, Eren scratches the back of his head.“Eh, how, you big bad bully, why didn't you tell me, you were happy seeing me make a fool of myself right?” Yuri hit Eren with her petite fist as anger and shame ran through her.Seeing her cheeks puff like that of a puffer fish, Eren couldn't resist laughing “You, you dare to laugh!!! I hate you, l am never talking to you aga
“Young man, have some tea,” Grandpa Huo said as he poured a rich Chinese herbal tea into Eren's teacup.As Eren made himself comfortable, Grandpa Huo began “Young man, I would like to extend my appreciation to you for saving my life, doctor smith made sure to mention your help to me, l had previously prepared a check to thank you but you're acquiring villa number one shows you do not need money.So i will owe you a favor, for one time, anything you ask of me will be done for you.“Tell me about yourself, l am curious as to what a Chinese military man is doing in New York City or rather America" Eren musedThe smile on Grandpa Huo's face fell as he sized Eren up, “Kid, don't meddle in things above you, you might end up dying without a corpse”“I can't help it, I want to know whether or not l die in the process is for me to worry about” Eren replied, seeing the secretive nature of Grandpa Huo, he was more convinced that his identity was really important and possibly dangerous“I don't
“Let it out, Eren, let's see how it goes.” Grandpa Huo replied in anticipation.Eren picked the next seat close to Grandpa and whispered into his ears as if he didn't want any other person to hear about it. Even though no one was present except the two.“I have resources, connections, and means to help you in your quest for justice. In return, you lend me the strength of the Dragon Head Legion when needed. Let's forge a partnership, Grandpa.” Eren whispered. “How do you think this will work? The Dragon Head Legion has long been in hiding, coming out now will mean great harm to all its members. More so, it has been a forgotten past in my life that I don't wish to reopen. I know I owe my life to you for saving my life, ask for anything else, I will grant it. But this is an impossible task, Eren.” Grandpa Huo replied to Eren as he strolled to his luxurious balcony in disagreement with Eren's proposal.Eren didn't relent, he knew he could convince Grandpa Huo if he pressed harder. He nee
Chapter 12Alliance “Eren wants to sign a partnership deal with me, he wishes to help me fight my long-lost battle in return for the Dragon head Legion whenever he needs it. Do you think it's a good idea? We barely know him, though he saved my life.” Grandpa Huo sought the opinion of his daughter.Yuri, who had already fallen in love with everything about Eren, couldn't wait to give Grandpa Huo to go-ahead to ally with Eren, “This will bring us even closer to each other and more, Eren is a very kind and rich man. He's everything I want in a man.” She muttered to herself.“Grandpa, I think you should consider Eren's proposal and give in to his request, I believe he has the connections and power to help us like he said, considering the way he bravely saved your life back then on our way to the hospital.He gave you the kind of treatment the doctors couldn't give you in years, Grandpa. I believe in him and I strongly agree with his proposal.” Grandpa Huo nodded in agreement with what h
“OK team, brace up! We are heading into the Smoky Hollows to rescue Sean and Nina. Let's all check out weapons, and be sure everything is in good condition.” Eren said to the selected soldiers who were to accompany him on the mission to the Hollows.“I've got my sniper ready. No one can escape my sights. Eren, relax, just lead the way, be rest assured that we'll have your back.” Ram, the sharpshooter, responded.I have set up the computer systems for surveillance. We must know the enemy's movements. Any Intel on Malcolm's men's hideouts?” Marie, the computer operator, asked.I have the coordinates. Malcolm's lair is well guarded. Kira, recheck the map. Rass, prepare some extra weapons, let's have them in excess, just in case.” Eren commanded.“Location Confirmed, Eren. The map shows a direct route, but there's a potential desert along the way. We need to be prepared for harsh conditions.” Kira advised.“I've gotten a couple of extra grenades and some high-powered rifles. We will be we
“Honey, we need to be strong, we can't give up, we just have to find a way to get out of here, look for Uncle Eren so that we can have our revenge, “Sean said.“Uncle Eren, Mom, don't kid me, Uncle Eren is dead, Malcolm that bastard said so himself, and even if he isn't, you think he'll fare better than us here, he can't even protect himself, let alone us,” Nina said sarcastically.Far off in the distance, a swarm of tiny insects that seemed to cover the sun was rapidly approaching. Their teeth were razored sharp with a desire to kill. They were the eye warts.“These damn little insects can't cut us some slack” Nina cussed as she got up and continued running.“Nina, over there, there appears to be a tunnel, let's hide there,” Sean said pointing at a narrow tunnel that opened its mouth wide like a hunting jaguar.“No, Mom, the tunnel is too small, hiding there will narrow our chances of escaping, we need a wider space” Nina refused.As Nina was still suggesting an alternative, a fast-p
“Boom” The team took a step into the lush orchard.“Guys, where are all of you?” Eren called as he looked around the quiet environment.“Where is this place, "Eren said as he found himself in front of a narrow street.“Rass, Kira,” where did the heck are you guys, maybe we got displaced”“Wait, the street feels so familiar, when did I come here?” Eren thought as he continued going down the narrow path.“Brother, what are you doing outside? The guests are waiting for you, it is your big day today." A voice he would never forget even if he died sounded.“Malcolm, now I remember, this street is the road to Audrey's family house. This scene! My engagement with Audrey. But why? Why am I here? "Eren muttered.“Brother, hello brother, are you there?”The smiling Malcolm waved at Eren. He looked puzzled at his elder brother spacing out.Seeing the young, innocent-looking Malcolm, Eren sneered in disgust. What is an actor? His engagement happened 3 years ago, but he was poisoned five years ago,
“This is the illusive orchard. I am the guardian of this place and I specialize in bringing out your obsessions and turning them into illusions. If you manage to overcome your obsession, You get to live and safely pass, but if you fall into your obsession, you will die in it. These oranges are the lives of the people who succumbed to their obsessions.”Hisses, the loud sounds of shock, rang out from Eren and his team. " What a vicious place,” Sarah said as she moved farther away from the orchard trees.[Ding! The host had completed the main mission, finding out the mystery behind the orchard forest][Host has acquired the key to the origin source, the map to Nina and Sean]Seeing these rewards, Eren heaved a sigh of relief.“Hey, show us the exit,” Eren said as he shook the fox, he had no time to waste..“ Wait! Where did you get that?” the nightmare beast asked in shock as he saw a long bony key that looked like the longest digit in a human hand, the only exception was the mysterio
