Albert Shawn gripped his golden cane as he watched Richard Forger walked straight towards him. Even though the room temperature in the hall was cold and cozy, Albert Shawn's temples were dripping sweats as big as size of corn kernels. The worse thing was, Albert Shawn felt that his respiratory tract gradually narrowed, making his chest tight and his head dizzy due to lack of oxygen.'Did this attack come from that youth's aura? Impossible! Looks like I overrated him! This state of mine must be because my health is not good enough today!’Albert Shawn had convinced himself several times that the shivering sensation he felt at when he saw Richard Forger was due to his unhealthy. Admitting that he was scared because of the charisma that comes out of the cleaning maid’s body is definitely an embarrassing thing.Tap… Tap… Tap…Richard's footsteps echoed in Albert Shawn's ears. When the sound of the footsteps stopped, Albert Shawn realized that Richard Forger was only one meter away from hi
Someone who recently sneered at the Daisy family was Julius Maxwell, a distant cousin of Luis Jung. It was the third time Richard met Julius. The first was when Richard worked in Luis Jung's office at the Westfield Corporation. The second was when Richard visited Jordan Boslay's house to look for antiques. And the third one was that night. Apparently, Julius Maxwell was also included as the guest of honor at the event."Richard, before you embarrass your wife's family, I warn you to get out of this place! Indeed, what ‘present’ can a lowly maid like you offer?” Julius Maxwell raised his voice so that many of the invited guests could hear that Richard was someone from a low social caste.“Julius, just so you know that my husband has prepared a special present for Mr. Shawn! I'm sure you will bite your fingers after seeing what Richard has prepared!” Daisy answered curtly in defense of her husband."Ha ha ha! How could you be conned by your husband, Daisy? I'm more than 100% sure that t
The most awaited session finally arrived. Seated on his throne, Albert Shawn watched as the master of ceremonies announced that the gift giving session was about to begin.The gifts prepared by the invited guests were in the next room guarded by a security team. Every time the host mentions the name of a guest, a group of security will enter the ballroom from the doorway while bringing the gift according to the names on it.Then, one of the representatives from the invited guest's family will introduce and explain what gifts his family has prepared. This event was highly eagerly awaited, thrilling, and at the same time worrying for each of the invited guests.The more luxurious or valuable gift prepared by a guest, the more their dignity will be raised. The session, apart from triggering the guests' adrenaline, also brought great pleasure to Albert Shawn.He felt satisfied when he saw the various attempts of someone who was trying to curry favor with him. Most of the time, an invited
Albert Shawn smiled with satisfaction when he no longer felt the shiver of fear at Richard's appearance. Albert Shawn's suspicion that Richard was a figure with strong charisma, immediately faded because Albert preferred to believe that his fear some time ago was just a symptom of his declining health.Realizing he was fine, Albert Shawn got off the throne and walked over to Richard. “Young man… Aren't you the son-in-law of the Miller family?” Albert pretended to ask even though he already knew and still remembered about Richard.Richard nodded respectfully. “You are right, Mr. Shawn. I am Richard Forger, son-in-law of Harris Miller.""Ha ha ha! Last year your father-in-law became the object of ridicule from all the invited guests. That is why he has now handed this task over to you?” Albert Shawn chuckled while pointing at the large parcel that was placed on the table.With a frown, Albert Shawn asked Richard, “So what junk do you want to present me? Even though I will throw it in th
At first, when Richard had half opened his parcel and showing off an ancient statue of the Sphinx, an invited guest who had expertise in Archeology stepped forward. This made the other invited guests flutter with worry because the archaeologist couldn't seem to stop shaking his head.Knowing that an archaeologist was observing his statue, Richard nodded and then stroked the surface of the Sphinx statue on the table.“When you run your palm over his cheek, an unfamiliar sensation will creep into your head. The oldest underwater city, Pavlopetri, will be drawn automatically when you explore the curves of this artifact." Richard began to introduce the gift he presented to Albert Shawn.If previously the invited guests couldn't wait to embarrass Richard, this time they all froze in silence listening to Richard's long story about the glory of a city that had sunk. The invited guests daydreamed imagining they were diving into ancient ruins under the sea, then swimming back and forth explori
The security brought a gift from Julius Maxwell to the hall. Because Julius mentioned that the statue he gave to Albert Shawn was worth tens of millions of dollars, the security officer treated the gifts with an extreme caution. They realized, the price of their lives seemed to be much cheaper than the price of that antiques.Sighing deeply, a security rubbed the sweat on his forehead after his crew had managed to put Julius Maxwell's gift on the table. "Finally ..." he said while gasping because he was nervous. "Mr. Julius, this is your gift."Julius Maxwell tidied up his tie, a conceited smile was clearly drawn on the young man's face when he walked toward the table where his gift was placed. As an arrogant youth who was thirsty for honor, Julius could not hide his pride when he witnessed the invited guests who holding their breath to wait for his gifts to open."Richard, I've contacted my bodyguard to stand guard in front of this hall, you know what I mean right? So, don't try to d
The guests who attended the Crown Castle Group party felt fortunate that they had been given a free, enjoyable show. Witnessing a mother publicly selling her own daughter for money fills the other guests with awe at Albert Shawn's power and possessions.Some of the invited guests fantasized, if they were given wealth and power like Albert Shawn, they would also feel the sensation of being adored by other people who need their money. They fantasize, how pleasure it is to see the desperation of others in front of a figure who is rich and powerful."I guess Mr. Shawn definitely can't resist Daisy's charms! Isn't he still likes to play with young women even though he already old?” An invited guest whispered to his colleague.“Yes, if I were in Mr. Shawn's position, I would immediately grab Daisy and take her to the Penthouse! Look, Daisy has everything a male fantasy needs!”When the invited guests were seen whispering to each other in response to Hillary's actions, Richard felt like his
“Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Zayn and Ms. Laurie, I would like to give the three of you one more chance. Take a good look at these two Sphinx statues and please make a correct announcement, which one is the real statue and which one is the fake one! If you are really the straight experts, I think you guys will change your previous statement.” Richard summoned three experts to evaluate his and Julius Maxwell's identical Sphinx statues. However, Richard's orders were completely ignored by the three experts. ‘Oh…. So his intimidating aura disappeared once his anger subsided? Hm… He doesn't seem to have realized that his body can give off an intimidating aura!’ A man from the Black Triad thought and nodded his head noticing that the gripping sensation that had appeared a while ago had now gradually disappeared. That's because Richard began to be able to manage his emotions. "Richard, don't expect you can trick us!" Julius Maxwell tapped Richard on the shoulder. "You should be manly. If you lose,
