As soon as Zane collapsed, Emily was struck with astonishment while Noah's fury erupted. His face contorted with rage as he grabbed Dr. Hayes by the neck, demanding answers. "What have you done to my sister?" he roared. "If you don't cure her right now, I'll break you into pieces!" Dr. Hayes, trembling in fear, stammered, "I-I don't know! This...this has never happened before! I truly don't know what to do. Plea...please, find another solution quickly..." At that moment, Emily, awakening from her shock, turned to Dave with a desperate plea in her eyes. She realized that every one of Dave's predictions was correct. Everything had just played out as Dave had predicted! No doubt, Dave probably had the solution to her daughter's illness, so she faced him. "Please, help my daughter," she begged humbly. "You were right about everything. I regret doubting you. Please, save her." Dave looking expressionless stepped forward and looked at Zane. Under Emily's hope-filled gaze, Noa
As Dave skillfully needled Zane, he explained the situation to everyone in the room. "Zane has been poisoned," he said calmly. "The discolouration of the water indicates the presence of toxins. Fortunately, the needling and herbal bath have expelled and neutralized the poison, preventing further harm."Emily and Noah, along with everyone else present, were taken aback. Astonishment quickly gave way to anger and suspicion as they speculated about who could have poisoned Zane. However, it was not the time for speculation or verification.Emily's eyes widened in shock, but gratitude soon followed. "Thank you, Dave," she said earnestly. "You've saved my daughter’s life. We can't thank you enough."Just then, Carl Mullen entered the room. The butler had briefed him on everything that had transpired since Dave's arrival. Quickly understanding the situation, Carl looked around the room, his gaze finally settling on Noah.His usually composed demeanor shifted to one of controlled fury."N
"This banquet isn't just a celebration; it's also to raise funds for the Jewel Orphanage and Welfare Institute within the slums of Nexroh. We're also assisting my father in selecting qualified candidates to become members of the Chamber of Commerce," Zane continued.Initially indifferent about attending a charity banquet, Dave thought of his wife, Ava, who seemed to be seeking membership in the Chamber of Commerce. He considered how this event could be beneficial for her. After a moment's thought, he accepted the invitation. "If I have time, I'll attend the banquet," he replied casually.As Dave prepared to leave, Dr. Hayes who had been once dismissed, suddenly knelt before him. His face was a mask of deep remorse and desperation. "Mr. Collins, I beg your forgiveness for underestimating you. Please allow me to serve under you and learn from your expertise."The scene shocked Emily, Zane, and Noah. They had never expected the renowned Dr. Hayes to act so deferentially. Dave, maintai
Dave intended to buy a gift for Ava at the jewelry store. Despite Ava's unhappiness, they had successfully obtained their marriage certificate that day and were legally married. Deep inside of him, he felt that the marriage was too hasty, as he had not made adequate preparations and had only obtained the certificate due to the urging of Ava's grandfather, resulting in a lack of any sense of ceremony. However, notwithstanding Ava's deep misunderstanding of him, he decided to buy a nice piece of jewelry, at least, to show Ava that he wasn't as worthless as she thought, hoping to change her opinion of him.Carl wanted to accompany Dave into the store, but Dave refused, knowing that the jewelry store was under Carl's ownership. If Carl went with him, it wouldn't be seen as shopping but accepting a tribute, which would be meaningless apart from the fact that it also stood the risk of Carl revealing his identity in the store, unconsciously.Therefore, Dave rejected Carl's offer and went
The middle-aged man, though not saying anything initially, frowned at Dave, clearly disdainful of conversing with someone like Dave, whom he perceived as a commoner!Dave smirked at the young woman and remarked, "Look, you have no right to criticize and mock others. After all, you are not from a high-class family. You're just a shameless low-life mistress who depends on her sugar daddy."Dave's words infuriated the young woman. She completely lost her temper, turning to the middle-aged man. "Are you going to let him talk to me like that? Teach him a lesson!"The middle-aged man, wanting to prove that he was man enough, instructed the saleswoman, "Get this riff-raff out of here. He’s disturbing my shopping experience."However, the saleswoman felt at a loss, not knowing what to do. Would she just send an innocent customer out for no reason?" However, before she could act, the store manager arrived on the scene. The manager was a well-dressed man with greying hair, who immediately re
“You’re dismissed from your position effective immediately,” Carl declared. “Security, throw him out.” The guards wasted no time. They grabbed the manager, despite his protests and pitiful cries for mercy. His desperate pleas fell on deaf ears as they unceremoniously dragged him toward the exit. The manager, once so confident in his authority, was now reduced to a snivelling wreck, thrown out of the store and onto the street. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man, who had earlier considered confronting Dave, now stood pale and trembling when he recognized Carl Mullen, a man he had only seen on local TV and heard about in business circles. His knees nearly buckled at the realization of whom he had crossed paths with. Meanwhile, his mistress who was beside him, emboldened by her earlier defiance, opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, a sharp slap from the middle-aged man silenced her. The slap echoed through the store, stunning everyone. "Keep shut?!" The
After instructing Carl to deliver the gift to the Dexters' mansion, Dave's thoughts turned to more pressing matters. He needed to head to the local branch of the Great Empire - Velcro Company. Earlier, he had received a text message from the secretary of Velcro Company, who of course, was his subordinate. The message informed him that a shipment of precious herbs and crystals had arrived. These resources were crucial for the training of novice warriors and considered strategic assets. Without Dave's signature for distribution, approval, and allocation, the department responsible couldn't proceed.Dave knew he needed to act quickly. Despite his recent arrival in the area and his new marriage, responsibilities awaited him. This was not the time to delay so he quickly hailed a cab and directed the driver to Velcro Company, his mind already racing through the tasks he needed to accomplish.Meanwhile, at the Dexters' mansion, the atmosphere was abuzz with excitement. Ava had invited
Ava, Hannah, and Jerry were ecstatic, their excitement palpable as they clutched their invitations to the charity gala. This was a golden opportunity, one that could potentially cement Ava’s place as a candidate member of the prestigious Great Kevton Chamber of Commerce. It was a goal Ava held dearly, one that she believed would significantly impact her career and her family’s business.“Ava, this is fantastic!” Hannah exclaimed, her eyes shining with delight. “You’re going to make such a great candidate member. This is exactly what you needed!”Jerry, standing beside Ava, smiled confidently. “I’m glad I could help, Ava. This gala is going to be a turning point for you.”Ava turned to Jerry, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Jerry, thank you so much. This really means a lot to me. The membership could change everything for my career and my family business."Hannah praised Jerry effusively. “Jerry, you’re amazing. You’ve done so much for Ava. You’re thoughtful and resourceful, just
