"You're such a troublemaker. Give back Joshua's card!" Rowan snapped, and she already stood up from her chair. Her rough movement made the chair sound big, so the people there noticed them.Their gazes became cynical, and some immediately talked about this matter. "What's going on over there?" He allowed his eyes to sharpen. "People have no ethics." He went back to talking, his quiet lunch being interrupted so that he could not fully enjoy the taste of the food."I heard someone say that his card was taken. They're like children." A woman replied to his words. He ate quietly, chewing the meat that entered his mouth several times. Seemingly not even caring about the commotion.So that person snorted. He couldn't help but try to enjoy his food and leave it at that. "Sir, you can't do such a thing as taking someone else's card. Give it back." The waiter tried to calm down the troubled people. If anything unpleasant happened to the restaurant, he would also be exposed to it.William gave
"What? Are you saying that I'm lying?" he pointed at himself and spoke in a sarcastic voice. He puffed out his chest and didn't look afraid of telling a lie.The opponent he was fighting was also calm, and even now the one affected was William. "Right." Her short reply had provoked William's emotions.His whole body was shaking violently as he was now being threatened by the man in front of him."You're the one who lied. You committed theft to be able to take this Black card. It makes no sense at all that a poor scholarship boy like you can have it," he emphasised his sentence. Every sentence he said surprised the other person surprised and supported his words. It was only natural that he thought it was impossible. This person couldn't possibly have a Black card.Joshua faced himself more, his expression unchanged. "You're the one who can't have it because you're a lowly person." He noticed the expression of William, who was really angry, and the squeeze of William's hand became harde
William was annoyed at Joshua's move. He wanted to pull Joshua's hand, but Joshua immediately brushed his hand away, which made his hand feel so painful."Who are you calling and how dare you do something like that." William snorted rudely but still showed his arrogant face in front of Joshua.Joshua looked at his friends. "Why, are you scared now?" He looked back at William, William's wide eyes were like poorly shaped marbles.William became stiff and annoyed simultaneously because he didn't want to acknowledge what Joshua said, so his voice became bigger than before. "Of course not. As long as you know I'm not afraid of your empty threats, you won't be able to do anything to me."Joshua looked at him coldly, a few seconds without any conversation. After that, he looked at his two friends again. "Come on."He was completely ignoring William. His two friends looked confused because they hadn't paid at this restaurant. So they hesitated."You're really going to make me regret it later!
The two people looked silent in Joshua's car. Benjamin, sitting in the front beside Joshua, looking back at them. Both moved their eyes while talking about this matter. As their eyes glared, they decided on a certainty that could make their curiosity answer immediately."Joshua, how come you have a car like this?" To them, all cars were expensive, so they had never used a car.Rowan and Benjamin always used public facilities or walked if the distance was not too far. All this time, they also knew Joshua, who did the same thing as them. But Joshua suddenly took them to eat at an expensive place and brought a car that surprised them, so they felt uncomfortable with it.Joshua realized that his two friends had been watching him. "Why are you afraid that I have stolen this car?" His guess seemed correct as Benjamin's eyes widened after hearing that he adjusted his attitude to not hurt his friend too much.Rowan, who was at the back, gave Benjamin a helping hand. Neither of them wanted the
"How dare you call me crazy?" The big man pointed at himself. He didn't like a fly calling him names that made his ears ring.Whereas Joshua had the attitude of turning around arrogantly to face this man in front of him, he was still relaxed. "If you're not crazy, then what?" He saw a sharp change in expression from the man in front of him. "You hit me, and you're the one asking me for compensation. That's crazy."The man was Arnold, and he was so annoyed now that he clenched his fists. He wasn't afraid of the man who was a little taller than him. He was bigger than Joshua, anyway. He was also quite confident in his fighting skills. With his chest puffed out, he got closer and pointed at Joshua. "If it wasn't for your car behind me, I wouldn't be experiencing things like this. You should replace it."The man spoke quickly, sometimes, it would pause a little because he was talking too fast, and Joshua realised that this man was in a hurry.He noticed the car in front of him. It looked
He was getting more and more angry with this. Every word Joshua said made no sense to him, which made his whole body itch, and he wanted to scratch himself. He was so angry!So that's why he looked around him. He was looking for something that could help him to vent his anger. At that time, he saw a rock that was bigger than his two fists, so he quickly picked up the rock and threw it at Joshua's windshield. The sound of shattering could be heard. The windshield shattered. The sound of shards rang out, the windshield shattered, and he laughed with satisfaction while holding his waist."Die!" He laughed again, feeling so satisfied with it, looking at the broken car now.He was so tired of hearing Joshua's exaggerated remarks about him that he believed he was more prosperous than Joshua. That's why he didn't like the car that was said to cost more than 100 million, even though the car looked simple, which made him laugh."You should make restitution then." Joshua was still calm. He stoo
He was on campus. His whereabouts lately had been the subject of tremendous gossip. The incident of him being humiliated by his girlfriend and dumped was the most horrendous. But other than that, they were all confused by Joshua's different demeanor. He appeared calm and could retaliate against people in power, especially now that he had a car."Why is that scholarship kid acting so pretentious now? It's suspicious. Could it be that he's a rich man hiding himself?" A woman spoke with a chuckle. "ah, that's impossible. I've watched too many dramas." She laughed again, laughing at herself.Joshua glanced at her, then ignored her. He had been holding himself back for a very long time. He was a person who was obedient to the rules that were treated in his family. His coming here was, of course, to study. He had to finish his studies soon and would become an heir later while still hiding his identity."He's so strange." He heard that voice while sitting in his classroom seat, but Joshua ig
The two men were now on the basketball court, and the others had moved out. And it was all because Joshua was challenging morale.Joshua's eyes had been watching the man in front of him. He had analyzed the man's attitude and knew with just one action. The man would feel very challenged. He has high self-esteem and can be defeated in a competition. All his life, that's probably what he's done on the field.To make him suffer more in his way was to beat him at the game he was best at, and that was basketball. Without the need for Joshua to challenge him, the man challenged first."I'll teach you that you can't beat me after years of playing basketball," Morel spoke with a heavy voice, holding a basketball in his hand.Joshua watched the ball that had been bounced by Morel, already analyzing the moves that the man would make. "You'll regret it later." The simple reply said by Joshua annoyed him even more.So he started to dribble the ball to get past Joshua. He thought the moment he tur
Joshua stared frantically, worry engulfing him as he paced back and forth in front of the delivery room. He had waited a long time, but labour was taking longer than expected. She had never been this nervous in her entire life, but right now, she couldn't control herself and stay calm.Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, made worse by her heavy breathing. "Why are they taking so long? What exactly are they doing?" He knew that inside, people were busy assisting Winter's labour.Peter, who had also just arrived there about 45 minutes ago with Joshua, watched his boss anxiously but remained calm. "Maybe they will call you sir soon."Right after hearing Peter's words, from inside the operating room came the sound of a baby crying, which made Joshua instantly freeze in place with his retinas fully opened.He immediately looked at Peter. "Did you hear that sound?" he made sure it wasn't his hallucination.Peter nodded, and their gazes shifted to the open door of the operating room, where
"Hey, you," Joshua called out to the pair that had won first place in last year's rowing race. "I hope you guys won't give up on me. Let's compete fairly," Joshua continued.The pair nodded their heads in unison. They seemed optimistic that they would win this match. Especially when they heard about the fantastic prize offered by the President.The local people who had been gossiping were amazed. Although they had initially underestimated the President and the First Lady, they immediately changed their minds when they heard what Joshua had just said."Did you hear our President clearly? He said three times. Wow, we can be rich in the blink of an eye," said a man with a bald head."I didn't expect our President to be able to diffuse and calm the situation like that. I will register myself and my wife immediately. I don't want to miss this golden opportunity," said a man in a casual suit."Ha? What did the President say? Triple? That means six million dollars? Well, I can't let this pri
Winter beamed a sweet smile as she realized the day she had been waiting for had arrived. Yes, today they were going on their honeymoon. Although Joshua's work was not yet fully completed, as an understanding husband, he prioritised his wife's pleasure first.Joshua took Winter on a honeymoon to the mountains. Where there is a lake that people often use for rowing competitions.When they arrived at the mountains, Winter felt very happy. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed the beautiful green scenery that could spoil her lovely eyes.“Are you happy?” Joshua asked, holding his wife's tiny waist.Winter quickly nodded her head. She was pleased. Winter couldn't even express how happy she was right now. After some time living inside the state palace as the President's wife, finally today, Winter could enjoy her days without any awkwardness.“I have an even more wonderful surprise,” said Joshua, pulling Winter's hand to follow him.Winter's laughter echoed. “Where are we going, da
Although Joshua and Winter's wedding was over, the news was not. As if there was no end to the news, video clips of the wedding of the number one person in the country of Phrea continued to fill the television screens.“They are indeed a lovely couple. One is handsome and authoritative, while the other is goddess-like, beautiful, and gentle. May God grant the leader of our country a child soon,” said a visitor who was staring in amazement at the television broadcast of Joshua and Winter's wedding.“I had intended to set my daughter up with our new President, but it turns out that Mr. Joshua already has a mate,” said another.“Shall I petition for our President to choose a concubine,” said the middle-aged woman, accompanied by laughter.“Excuse me.” A waitress asked permission to put the food on the table. Then her eyes fell on the television screen showing the wedding of the number one person in Phrea. “Joshua...” she hissed later.The middle-aged women sitting there immediately turne
Mr Joshua Winter and Miss Winter Hopes are known to be getting married today." The people at home or work that day turned their heads towards the big screen, now showing the city's hottest and happiest news."Everyone is, of course, looking forward to our leader's wedding day with the woman he loves so much." The reporter smiled formally at the camera and joined the people watching in their smiles.As everyone knows, Joshua Western is the newly inaugurated president who is loved by his people. People are now chuckling with twinkling eyes. The wedding will be covered live at their city's most prestigious landmark.Some spectators of the live event seemed to chuckle in disbelief. "They're really amazingly good together. I'd love to see them in person. But the trip to the city centre took so long."Almost all national TV programs covered happy events with smiling faces. Some were even reporters from overseas, willing to fly all the way so as not to miss the president's wedding.Winter le
The careful preparations made in less than two weeks were, in fact, quite good and produced good results. Joshua's inauguration as president of Thera was witnessed by his people officials and leaders from other countries.Joshua took the oath, was inaugurated, and officially became the head of the country. The mature man also uttered his vision and mission and promised the entire community that he would be a fair, honest and wise leader. Joshua would also help the people prosper and build a better country."Congratulations on your inauguration, sir." Joshua received greetings no matter how many times he received them during this day. All the people around him looked pleased, happy for what Joshua had achieved."How about I offer you some cooperation?" One of the prime ministers from a neighbouring country made an unexpected offer to Joshua. The government had previously not been interested in establishing a relationship with the other country, but when Joshua was sworn in as presiden
"You look handsome and authoritative, Master. It is no mistake that the people of this country want you as their leader," Peter said.It was already the second week after the political troubles that had shaken the kingdom of Eranda."I will raise your salary, Peter," Joshua laughed.They were in the car that would take them to the state Palace because today was a historic day for Joshua as he would be sworn in as president to replace the dethroned Wiliam."You are the best, Master," Peter said proudly with a smile full of happiness. "Congratulations, Master," he continued.The car they were traveling in had almost reached the state Palace. However, the car's pace had to be slowed down because, outside the state Palace, there were already many people crowding around. They certainly couldn't wait to witness Joshua's inauguration."Long live, Master Joshua!""Mr. Joshua is our president!""Mr. Joshua is the savior of the people!""Long live Mr. Joshua!""Welcome the new president of ther
The political situation in Phrea was heating up. Residents have seen recordings of the conversations of those with high status. Those who had problems with Western's family could not move.The number of people supporting Joshua is increasing, and his stock is also growing. As Eranda's nobles wanted, they believed Joshua would replace President William to lead Phrea."Our president turned out to be a cold-blooded killer. How could he say such horrible things? The ministers under him were the same. They have no conscience at all," said one of the people.The people were gathering. They seem to be in a group and are endlessly discussing this issue. Many of them were supportive of Joshua, but some were restraining."We must give full voting rights so that Lord Joshua can immediately take Wiliam's place," said another."I will also do the same. Only Mr. Joshua is capable of leading our country. If Mr. Joshua can reveal the dark case that the political elites have covered up, I believe Mr.
"Master, you've been in there too long."Joshua opened his eyes when he heard the servant's voice from outside. The man who was soaking in the warm water in the bathtub sighed heavily. Joshua got up. He then washed his burly body and covered it with his usual white bathrobe.Joshua came out of the bathroom, his hair still half-dry, making beads of water drip down his head. The maid quickly handed him a small towel and helped Joshua to dry his hair."Have you prepared everything I asked for?" Joshua asked."That's it, Master."Joshua took over the small towel. He then walked to a sofa directly facing the glass wall that showed the beauty of the outside world.When Joshua was seated on the sofa, the waiter quickly handed him a cup of hot tea. Joshua took a sip of the tea and returned it to the waiter."Give me the tablet," Joshua said, asking for his electronic device."I'm sure you'll like today's hot news, Master." The waiter said confidently as he handed over the 14-inch flat object.
