The stats of Jayce and Shantel were already so high that Kim was shocked, they barely knew me for less than a day, even though i am their child, isn't this too reckless.
“Kim, you won't understand the love parents have for their children. The feeling of guilt played a major factor here. Shantel and Jayce subconsciously feel like they owe you and thus that's the reason for their high favorability"
“Kim, you have 6 sisters and 4 brothers, you are the last child so you are the fifth young master”

“ Your second brother is Alvin slate, he is a lawyer, she has never lost any case since he became a lawyer. Your crowd of people waiting for him to defend them could circle the world twice, he is a bit judgmental though”

“l can't wait to meet them mom”Kim said as he noticed his mom was still planning on introducing his cousins and the entire family tree to him.
“Yes, you will meet them, Kim, if any of them misbehave, l toss them straight out of my house"
As they were discussing, the car drove into the airport and the private jet took off to the imperial city.
In less than 2 hours, Kim found himself outside the gate of an enormous villa, the villa was situated at the top of a mountain and was so large, it probably covered a few districts, the design of the villa was so serene and natural, gardens were all around the villa and the peach trees swayed slightly with each breeze providing a wonderful scenery.
In comparison with this villa, the Larken's villa which Kim visited when he was five was akin to a poor man flaunting wealth, it was so gaudy and randomly covered with gold, the entire larkens house looked like a golden stone from afar, it was so ostentatious.
As Kim stepped out of the car, the two rows of servants vowed neatly towards him and his parents ''welcome back, young master Kim, mistress Shantel and master Jayce”
“Has everything been prepared, butler Mike”Jayce asked the old man at the forefront who was dressed in a European styled suit, looking at the material alone, Kim was sure that the cloth cost a fortune “wow, even a butler is living big here''.
“Yes, master Jayce, everything has been prepared, the young masters and miss are already waiting in the dining hall”
As Kim stepped into the dinning hall, he saw a dazzling array of beauty. The four young men seated at the left-hand side of the table were all men who had been sculpted by God with delicate care. They looked similar, but their auras were different.
The one at the forefront was a cold expressionless man who was has a tall physique, his dark colored hair was briskly combed backwards and his appearance screamed elegant, he looked like the younger version of Jayce except that he had brown colored eyes like Shan tel
The one after him, had prominent green eyes which were always smiling, his brown hair was tied into a Pony ta, he looked graceful and far more amicable than the first, but Kim felt his gentleness was an illusion, he felt a deadly threat from his brother. If in front of Alvin, he felt like all his secrets were bare.
The third man was currently cutting steak, the way he handled the knife was as if he were holding on to a delicate pen not a sharp knife, his gentleness bore deep in his bones.
A Bug in the System The fourth had red hair with all out red pajamas, he looked like red potatoes, he was cute with a hint of baby fat around his cheeks. His honey kissed eyes looked so gentle that it felt like honey was literally dripping from them.On the right side were also four ladies. The first was the beautiful but cold kind of lady. Her ice-cold expression looked intimidating, as if she hated the whole world.The second lady looked even more expressionless, she was a beauty, but her beauty was an extremely pale beauty. She had a white and soft skin that made her look like a robot.The third lady was more easy going than the rest, she had a very impressive height and looked like she was made for the spotlight.The other lady was just engrossed in the book in her hand, she hadn't even touched her food yet.“So these are my siblings, they literally fit the description my mother gave, don't you agree zero”“ Hello, zero are you there, zero, tell me you a
The News Kim woke up after a long and reviving sleep. He had taken a very long time, thinking about all the gifts he had received from his new family. He couldn't believe that everything he had wanted had just happened to him all at once. It felt so unreal. His whole world literally turned upside down.A few weeks back, Kim was sleeping in an uncompleted building, precisely on a dirty rough floor. Now, he is sitting pretty in a queen’s size luxurious bed. He glanced around his room, admiring the luxurious and exquisite design of his bedroom.Kim got up from the bed and walked towards the window, He pulled the expensive black and golden curtains and looked outside the window from hisroom. Kim looked at the entirety of the slate mansion from his window. He hadn't seen it well at night, but seeing it now made him wonder about the kind of wealth the slate family has. Kim also noticed there was a garden. It was his favorite place to be. So, he dec
Black Envelop "Son, guess what? The government finally said yes to our big construction contract! Can you believe it? They've turned us down so many times before, but today, we got the good news," Kim's father said with a big smile.Kim couldn't believe his ears. "Wow!" he exclaimed, "That's amazing news!"He felt a bubble of happiness knowing that the slate family is receiving good fortunes.Kim's mother joined in, facing her husband. "Oh my darling, we’ve suffered a lot for this contract. In fact, we lost hope, this is wonderful! I can't believe it's finally happening!" she exclaimed, as her eyes sparkled with joy.This is one of the biggest contracts in the country. People have fought to get this, but the government has refused to award it to anyone. Kim's father beamed with pride, his chest swelling with happiness. "This is definitely a miracle, my dear. Just when we thought it was over. My son, did you see this? Your family is almost at the to
The Invitation Letter"WTF! What is that?" Kim asked, looking surprised as he pointed to the envelope in Zero's hand.Zero didn't reply immediately. Instead, he stared at the envelope and muttered, "The ten families."Curious, Kim stepped closer to Zero and gently turned him around. "Zero, what did you say? Who are the ten families?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.Zero hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's just a letter of Visitation."Kim furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of Zero's cryptic answer. "Visitation? What do you mean?" he asked, still puzzled.Zero sighed, reluctant to delve into further explanation. He knew that when he started explaining, it might definitely lead to more questions that he was avoiding. "It's an invitation from a group of influential families in the city. They want to meet with the slate family," he explained vaguely.Kim's curiosity piqued even more. "Why do they want to meet with us?" he inquired
The Preparation Kim glanced at Zero questionably, but Zero just shrugged his shoulders in response. Kim was scared, he didn't know what to expect. Eventually, he followed his father inside the house.Once they were all seated, Kim sat opposite his father, waiting anxiously for him to speak. But before Mr. Jones could say anything, Kim's siblings entered the room, greeting each other and their father warmly."Hey, Dad! Hey, Kim!" Amara exclaimed, giving them both a big hug.Drake grinned and nodded at his father. "Good day, Dad. How are you doing? Kim," he said cheerfully.Casey waved at them with a smile. "Hi, Dad. Hi, Kim," she greeted.Jim clapped his father on the back. "Good afternoon, Dad. Good afternoon, Kim," he said with a grin.Alvin gave them a thumbs-up. "Afternoon, Dad. Afternoon, Kim," he greeted, his voice enthusiastic.Kristen gave her father and Kim a quick hug. "Hey, guys! Afternoon," she said with a smile.Paige flashed them a brigh
The Mysterious Energy"Zero, what's happening?" Kim asked, panic creeping into his voice as he listened to Zero's distress."I... I don't know, Kim. The systems... they're malfunctioning," Zero's voice crackled in Kim's mind, each word a struggle.Kim's heart dashed with fear as he realized the gravity of losing him. Zero, his loyal companion and friend, was in trouble, and there was nothing he could do to help."Zero, please hang in there. We'll figure this out together," Kim said, his voice trembling with worry.But before he could say anything else, Zero's voice faded away, leaving Kim feeling helpless and alone. With a heavy heart, he sank onto the nearest chair, as he thought of what could be happening to Zero and how he could cope without him.*********************************With a heavy heart, Kim managed to get up from the chair and headed outside, hoping to see Zero there. Heartbreakingly, he called out to Zero, "Zero!" Kim called out, his voice
The Unexpected Guest.Unexpectedly, Kim passed out.THE NEXT MORNING……….Kim woke up on the cold tiles with a slight memory of what happened to him last night. His headaches and his body hurts. “Ouch!” he exclaims as he gets up. Kim managed to freshen up. He went downstairs just to learn from his dad that their guests were gone. He took a loud sigh. He didn't want to see anyone, he was not just in the right mood. Something was happening to him, Kim was feeling a bad energy following him but he couldn't place it.“Where's Zero?” he inquired, looking sad. His father. Gave Kim a gentle Pat on his shoulder. “I don't know when Zero will be coming, but I’ll, we are your family, and we’ll be there for you. As your siblings will be going back to their individual homes, you can always visit any of them if you desire.” Mr. Jones said as he led Kim to the dining table where others were seated waiting for him.*****************************Kim greeted each and
The Unwanted GuestAs Kim drove towards the mansion, he found two older people blocking the entrance. Getting angry, without seeing their faces clearly, he shouted at them to move out of the way, he was in a bad mood and didn't have time for quarrels or arguments."Who are you people? What are you doing in the Slate family's place? Did you miss your way? Please move out of my way," Kim yelled, his tone firm and harsh.When they didn't budge, Kim stepped out of his car and was surprised to see that they were his former parents. They had found him with the slate family.“What’s…..” His words caught short of his words, he tried to hide his surprise and nervousness. The elderly couple looked at Kim with pleading eyes, their faces showing both remorse and desperation.Trying to hide his emotions, Kim forced himself and asked, "Who are you? And why are you here at the Slate family's mansion? Did you miss your way?"His former parents exchanged glances and spoke
