..“What?!” Everyone gasped in shock when they heard Jiehong's words.“What did you just say?” Mikasa asked again, still doubting what she had just heard.“I just got promoted as the new minister of finance!” Jiehong replied with a smile once more.“Uncle?! This is no time to be joking. I can't believe you are joking right now?” Mengi said still in disbelief.“Mengi am I one to joke? I am now the new minister of finance.” Jiehong replied.Everyone could see the seriousness in his face but they still could not believe it.“B-But if you are now the new minister of finance what of Mr. Armstrong?” Mengi asked.Jiehong smiled at this point. “I was also told Mr. Armstrong was demoted from his position and he’s currently under investigation for fraud. In short, Mr. Armstrong now works for me.”“Really?!” Kara, Mikasa, and Mengi all exclaimed at the same time.In short, all the guests of the banquet were shocked to hear Jiehong's words. None of them believed him. Since most of the people pr
..“I’m not responsible for Mr. Armstrong's fall but I’m the one who caused it.” Said Landon.“Huh?”Everyone stopped in their tracks when they heard Landon’s words.“What do you mean?” Jiehong asked. He was confused.How did Landon cause his promotion without being responsible for it?Understanding the confusion Landon proceeded to give them an answer.“Why I said I’m not responsible is because my friend was the one who helped me. My friend is a powerful figure in Dimvale City. I called him for help then asked him for a favor and he granted me the favor.” Landon answered.He said the truth but he covered it with a lie. He had told them that it was because of him Armstrong was demoted but it was not by his power. The reason it happened was because he had a powerful friend.“Is it the same friend you told me about in the car?” Kara asked with curiosity as she tried to cover Landon's ass about the car not being his.“Yes.”Everyone gave off a different reaction to Landon’s confession.
..The next morning in class.Landon had spent only a few minutes studying for this test but he was confident in his abilities.Only yesterday he discovered that he could memorize whatever he reads faster than an average person. He had spent only ten minutes reading the subject and he was done.“This is a tough moment. I hate tests.” Jude was anxious.Landon laughed. “Bro, you are in a school better get comfortable with it. After your past two years of being in this school, you still haven’t gotten comfortable with the test you must be joking?”“It’s funny to see you talking. I think you should be even more scared about this test than the rest of us.”“Why?” Landon asked with a perplexed expression.“You read for only ten minutes after finding out that we had a test yesterday! Bro, this is a three-credit unit course.”Landon laughed once more. “Don’t worry I’ll be fine I’m not failing this test.”“Well, I wished I had your confidence.” Said Jude.At that moment, Mr. Quinton, their cl
..Landon had allowed the matter with Mr. Quinton to slide but after that test, four more tests followed. Landon did well just like he had done in the last tests but every time he got an F.He and Jude immediately became certain that the fact he was getting so many F's on all his courses made him realize that Mr. Quinton was doing this intentionally.“Why is Mr. Quinton failing you?” Jude was puzzled.In almost all the tests he has written so far he took all his answers from Landon but every single time their scores came out he always got an A meanwhile Landon, the original owner of the answers got an F.“I don’t know but I’m very annoyed,” Landon replied coldly.They had just concluded another test and he was staring at Mr. Quinton with hostility.Mr. Quinton’s eyes met Landon’s gaze at this moment.“Mr. King! Can you please come to my office I would love to have a word with you.” Mr. Quinton said with a stern voice as he walked out of the class.Landon did not expect Mr. Quinton to
..“Yes, it was me. I’m sure you understand my deal without me saying anything or should I spell it out for you?” Landon said with a mischievous smile.Mr. Collins was fidgeting right now. Finding out Landon was the one responsible for his sleepless night made him feel very agitated.On Friday a group of gangsters had burst into his room with some beautiful ladies in Sonia’s Brothel and they had forced him to make love with a pig while videoing him. That was the worst experience in his entire life. After filming him having sex with a pig the men just left without saying anything.This part of it all was what drove him insane these past two days. Knowing that someone had a humiliating video of him made him feel like his life was in someone else hands. He has spent the two days active on all social media pages to see when the people responsible for his embarrassing video will upload it. Only this worry of his made the past two days the worst days of his life.Knowing that Landon was re
..Landon, Jasmine, and Ashley all sat together in the restaurant. There was so much tension in their table than ever.Landon did not miss the air of competition between both women.To break the awkward situation Landon asked. “So did both of you plan on seeing me here today?”“No, not really. I was the only one that wanted to see you today. Jasmine just ran into me here and decided to join me.” Ashley replied sweetly.“Oh okay.”“So Landon…Ashley referred to you as someone special. She told me you both are someone special. Do you care to emphasize this?” Jasmine asked with an expression that was seeking answers.“Umm,” Landon became dumbfounded. “She told you I’m someone special?”“Yeah, that’s how she referred to you. Are you both dating?”“Yes!”“No!”Ashley said yes while Landon said no immediately.Hearing both of them saying the opposite answer made Jasmine frown. Who is she supposed to believe?Landon looked at Ashley with a questioning look. Since when did they become a coupl
..The next day came by quickly and as expected Ashley had contacted both Landon and Jasmine regarding their flight time in the night so both Landon and Jasmine got ready ahead of time.Landon had told his dorm mates that he was leaving for his orphanage and that he would be back in a few days.Landon, Jasmine, and Ashley all met at Dimvale airport which caused Jasmine to ask.“Are we flying first class or private?” Jasmine asked.“Private? Hell no. We are flying first class. I’m not as rich as you Jasmine so you don’t have to intimidate me with it.” Ashley frowned in worry.‘Was Jasmine trying to get her to appear low in front of Landon?’She secretly glanced at Landon at this moment to see his reaction.‘Is Landon not okay with first class.’“I didn’t mean to make you feel like that,” Jasmine said. “In short, the last time Landon and I flew together we used economy.”Ashley was surprised at Jasmine’s words at this moment. “Wait you both have flown together before?”“Yeah.” Both Jas
..Landon was not the only one furious but Jasmine and Ashley were furious as well.Did Prince Liam just call this six-year-old girl a lamb?From the looks of things, Prince Liam was afraid to go through a treatment that he thought was so dangerous for him so he decided to use a little girl as a lab rat to see if Landon’s treatment would work or not.Isn’t this being heartless at the very core? Who will use such a six-year-old girl as a lab rat? It is for this reason Landon and the two girls with him were furious even when they had still yet to say anything.“Do you understand?” Prince Liam asked again.However, Landon did not answer as he crouched to attend to the little girl. From the looks of things, the little girl was already at the final stage of the illness so she did not have much time. Landon could tell that she barely had an hour. He had no time to rebuke Prince Liam. The girl’s life comes first at the moment.“Huh? Seems like this doctor is a dumb one that doesn’t like to
