Sorry for missing yesterday, it was Valentine so I had to take a break lol. Happy Reading
"Brat. Do you know who I am?" Larx frowned."You are the Patriarch of the Lukas family" Drew shrugged."And you dare talk to me in that manner?!" the frown on Larx face deepened, a terrifying pressure gradually emanating from him"It hasn't gotten to that extent" Mr. Henicky hurriedly spoke out to soften the tense atmosphere.He was afraid that a conflict might break out between the two parties. One of them was his long time friend and the other was a talented junior with an unknown background who was also the key to treating his illness."Tsk. Tsk. How low can you bring yourself to be to the point you were about to attack a junior" Jarin chuckled in a taunting manner.Taking a deep breath, Larx gave Drew one last long look before no longer paying him any attention."Alright. Since that's settled, let's get in our way now. The Auction is going to be held tomorrow. I fear that if we don't hurry, we won't be able to book any hotels " Mr. Henicky warned. Walking out from the garden, the
Silence.. "Only one?" Mr. Henicky frowned, appearing worried. They were currently four in number. A single room wouldn't be able to contain them. "Yes Sirs. All the rooms are fully booked" the Receptionist shrugged helplessly. "If that's the case, I'll find somewhere else" Drew volunteered. "Hmph. At least you are able to read the situation" Larx snorted "Are you sure? I mean isn't this your first time in the City?" Mr. Henicky asked Aiden with a worried expression. "I'm mean, we can all share the room while my chauffeur sleeps inside the limo" "It's okay. I have my ways. Not to mention I am afraid a certain somebody wouldn't accept sharing a room with me " as Drew said this, his eyes fell on Larx who snorted in response. "Nick just let it rest. Drew is a talented junior. Perhaps he has a way" Jarin spoke up. After a bit, Mr. Henicky finally gave in Walking out of the Hotel premises, Drew frowned. Although he sounded confident back there, only he knew he had no way to
"What a shock , I never expected to see you again" Drew remarked with surprise. He was currently at the driver area of a black sedan. Besides him was Tom. However unlike the last time he saw her, she was clad in female clothes, leaving her feminine charms in full display. Tom was a Medicine genius Drew met in the past back in Delta City. At that time she was posing as a guy and managed to successfully fool everybody. Due to a series of disagreement, the both of them had a little spar and Drew ended up coming out on top. That was when he discovered she was a female posing as a male all along. Apparently, the girl he saved ended up being her younger sister named Rosalie. "What happened? why did you discard your manish dress up" Drew asked curiously. "Sigh.. a lot of things happened but it's fine. Don't bother about our problems" Tom bit her lower lips as she replied. Drew frowned. He sensed that there was something going up with Tom but since the other party didn't want to ope
That evening, the Mick family had dinner alongside Drew. When Tom's father joined them for dinner, Drew used the opportunity to size up the other man. Caleb Mick as that was his real name didn't look anything like Drew had anticipated. He didn't have the overbearing personage befitting of a former military officer. Instead he looked just like a regular old retired salary man clad in track suits and limpid eyes. His face was pale and his body skinny with his cheeks bones protruded forward like there was not enough flesh to cover it up. "Hm? Who's this young man?" Mr. Caleb asked after he sat at the dinning table and noticed Drew's presence. "Dad! He's Big Sister's friend..." Rosalie actively chimed in as she explained how they met. "So you are the Individual who once defeated my daughter back at Delta City?" Mr. Caleb nodded with acknowledgement. "Before that incident, Tom prided herself in her medicinal skills causing her to become conceited. But after the defeat she suffered
The whole dinning table plunged into a silent atmosphere after Becky's narration. "Say Uncle Caleb, have you been feeling these symptoms?" Drew asked, breaking the silence. "Indeed.. that was why I was sent home from the field. Everybody believed it was due to the injury I received on the battle field.. to think I would be inflicted with such a deadly curse" Mr. Caleb mumbled. It was unknown what was going on in his mind. "Drew! You can heal my father right?" Tom suddenly grabbed Drew's arm, with a pleading expression. "About that.." Drew turned towards Mr. Caleb. "How long he has been inflicted with the curse will determine whether I will be able to heal him" "Say Uncle Caleb, was there anything suspicious before you got afflicted with the curse?" Drew asked. "Suspicious? The symptoms began to show after.. wait! I think I remember now!" Mr. Caleb's eyes flashed with self-realization. "The only thing suspicious is this incense given to me before I went off to the field" he rev
The next day finally arrived; the day of the auction!"Uhm. Uncle Caleb are you really sure Silver Eagles Auction House can provide the below listed herbs?" Drew asked with a wry smile as he glanced through at the paper sheet he held. On it was the list of herbs needed to concoct the antidote for the Sun Curse.Although Drew was the one who wrote them down, he hadn't even heard about the majority of them."Of course. Silver Eagles Auction is a major player in the Auction market of Starling. If there's anywhere you can find those herbs, it must be there " Mr. Caleb replied confidently."Though I am not sure if they would put out those herbs for auction, so you'll probably have to contact them privately if you want to make a purchase "Drew nodded, since what the other party said made a lot of sensee. After all, he had a hunch that most of the herbs were very expensive and valuable."I'm ready " just then, a beautiful figure stepped out from the bungalow as she took graceful steps towar
"This is the Auction House?" Drew observed the large building before him after stepping out from a black sedan. Besides him was Tom, looking beautiful in a cocktail dress. She wore red heels and had red lipsticks. Her face had light make-up, further accentuating her natural beauty. Standing in the midst of a public area, it was natural that she attracted a lot of attention, mostly from the males. —[Ping!]—[You have received +5,400,000 deci points] "Eh?" Drew beamed when he saw the Deci Points alert. It would seem that he had successfully bought all 70 million shares of Silver Eagles inc... "Huh?" an advanced looking man who seemed to be in his early sixties hummed a solemn tune as he watered some vegetables in a small garden using a water can. He wore tracksuit and although his face looked advanced with wrinkles, his posture was upright and his countenance seemed to be beaming with youthful vigor. One look and one would know that he wasn't an ordinary old man. Ping Just then
"This place is cramped like hell" Aiden frowned as he twisted his way towards the mammoth crowd, with Tom besides him.They were currently at the lower floor which was a spacious hall. However even though the hall was spacious, it was jam packed due to the mammoth crowd inside.This came as a shock to Drew, considering the fact that he had to pay a a deposit of 5 million dollars per person for him to attend the Auction.This deposit was something that all enterees had to pay. According to the Staffs of the Auction House, it was a proof to show that they were not paupers.In the past, there had been some mischievous paupers who had sneaked their way in and messed up with the Auction, bidding above their budgets and driving eligible buyers away. That day, the Auction House suffered from a huge monetary loss and the Management of Silver Eagles inc were so distraught that a majority of the shareholders and executives voted for such a rule to be implemented."That is to be expected. Perha
"Why won't you accept the business proposal? I mean.. it would be in your favor right? you'd have the chance to forge a relationship with my master. Don't tell me you are the short sighted kind of person" this time, Drew no longer sounded confident as his palm became sweaty. "I know that. But if you keep on acting like you have all the winning cards in your pocket, then I'd have to decline. Don't think you can fool me. This is most likely a test given to you by your master so he won't be involved in it unless he sees tangible results. Isn't that right?" Loveth scoffed. "Uhhmm. R-Right " Drew nodded awkwardly. "Well, I think I would be able to improvise then. I'll accept your business proposals " "Really?" hearing that the other party had accepted, Drew's eyes sprang up with joy. With the full support of Silver Eagle Auction House, it would only be a matter of time before he dominates the Herbal market of North Heights. However Loveth's next words dampened his short termed exc
Giving Drew one long look like as if trying to read what was going on in his mind, Loveth collected the jade bottle from him before proceeding to uncork it. And when she did, the whole office became encased in a thick but rich pleasant scent. "This.. This is herbal adorant!" Her eyes lit up in amazement. Although she wasn't a Divine Physician herself, as the manager of Silver Eagles Auction House, it was only natural that she'd be in the company of a few Divine Physicians once in a while. She had even watched some of them brew medicines and according to them, only highest grade medicines could emit a wonderful scent in the air, called adorant. "Looks like you are well informed" Drew chuckled, while inwardly feeling shocked. After all, it was only after he had upgraded the skill *Ancient Shamanic Medicine* to the max did he finally knew what adorant meant in the field of medicine. "Judging by the intensity of the adorant being emitted.. this is a high quality medicine. Were y
"Eh?" Drew stared at the other party, unable to understand why she was rejecting him from meeting up with Loveth. "May I ask the reason why?" he asked. "Well, you are probably not from this city so you might not know this. This building is just one of the storehouses owned by Silver Eagles Auction House. It was only used to host the auction event days ago. After that, Madame Loveth returned back to the head office of Silver Eagles Auction House. I am the Manager of this store house. My name is Patricia Holmes" the chubby lady revealed. "Oh, I didn't know that" Drew nodded in understanding. "So where exactly is the headquarters located?".. "The young master called for me?" Currently inside a large balcony, a youngster sat comfortably on a throne like chair, sipping merrily from the glass of wine being fed to him by a female clad in scanty clothing. At his other side was another scantily dressed female feeding him chips while another scantily dressed female was was huddled in
"How long was I out?" Drew mumbled as he got up from the cold tiles glancing at the Jade bottle which was lying beside him. After brewing the medicine, he became so exhausted that he decided to take a nap to replenish his lost energy. However the nap ended up becoming a really long sleep. Picking up the jade bottle, he uncorked it and smiled in satisfaction when he saw the slightly purplish liquid inside. "I just have to hand this over to Loveth. I wonder what her reaction is going to be like when she learns of it's uses" he grinned, while carefully tucking the jade bottle inside his pocket. Leaving the refining room, he just happened to bump into Rosalie, clad in a school uniform. "Hm?" Rosalie's brows jumped in joy when she saw Drew. "You finally came out!" she beamed. "How long did I spend inside?" Drew inquired. "Two days. Big sis become worried and wanted to check up on you, however Mother forbade her from doing so. She was afraid that we would interfere with what you w
"Interesting. Did the young man really say that?" "Indeed father. And the most surprising fact is that he's so young. If I am not mistaken, he isn't past his mid twenties.. do you think he's the main deal or he was merely shooting off his mouth?" Currently inside a large study room, Old Man Benson and his Daughter; Loveth, sat together, occupying the only sofa in the study. Loveth had just finished recounting her meeting with Drew to her father. She wanted to seek his guidance on the matter. "What do you think?" Old Man Benson smiled as he asked his daughter of her opinion. "I really don't know whether I should believe him or not. After all from his words, he was hinting that he was going to brew the 'amazing product' " "But he's just too young. There's no way he can match up to Medicine Priest Harland's expertise which has been honed through many years of experience.." "But some how, my instincts keeps telling me to trust him" she sighed. "So that means this is a conflict be
After breakfast with the Mick Family, Drew headed towards the Medicine Refinement room he had used the previous day to brew the antidote for Mr. Mick's Sun Curse. When he arrived there, he was met with the sight of packaged boxes neatly arranged. These were the ingredients that he had requested from Loveth the previous day. "Let's get to work" he cracked his knuckles as he took in a deep breath before he began opening the packaged boxes. . . When Boss Jay exited his mansion, he was met with a shocking sight. Lying around helplessly were his underlings And the most scary part was that they were all bleeding from the severe injuries they had on their body. The whole premises of the mansion plunged into silence. The only thing that could be sensed in the air was the strong iron smell of blood as well as deep resentment. "So you are the boss of this place?" a baritone voice broke the silence at that moment, causing Boss Jay to tilt his head towards the direction from where t
Yawning heavily, Drew got up from the bed he had used to pass the night. Rubbing the dirt off the corners of his eye, he sighed deeply. He could still feel that his depleted martial energy had not yet been fully replenished. Looks like the Artic Soothing solution had taken much from him than he had anticipated. "I wonder if the packages have arrived?" he mumbled as he made his way towards the bathroom to freshen up... Old Man Benson was clad in tracksuit as he watered the vegetable plants in his garden at a steady pace. If an outsider came, they would be shocked to discover that this seemingly ordinary man was once one of the top big shots in North Heights, as well as the father of two of the most influential individuals in the city. Five minutes passed when he sudden sighed as he stopped what he was doing. "I wonder how long you are going to keep standing there eh?" he slowly said. "Heh. Is it a crime to watch my dear father as he goes about his business?" a pearl of laughte
Although this might sound hypocritical but I am really sorry for not updating for weeks. I was too busy with my other new book The Vampire System that I neglected this one and I am truly sorry for that. Anyways, I am here to announce I am back in business and hope to update daily. As an apology, I will be dropping two free chapters. Yes! You won't need to use coins to unlock the two chapters. I hope you all forgive me for my inconsistency. You don't deserve it. The same applies to my other Book The Centillionaire Heir.. Oh, and don't forget to check out my other Book The Vampire System.. And don't take the name to heart, it mostly has the theme of an urban fantasy with Hero like People known as Sentries.. just give it a read.. you won't regret it. Plus it has daily updates as well!
"How was it?" Currently the whole Mick family were gathered around Mr Caleb lying on a white bed in his room, with eager expressions. "What are you saying Rosalie? your father just drank the medicine. There's no way he would suddenly recover, right?" Although it sounded like a chastisement, Mrs. Mick was actually asking of Drew's opinion. "Sigh. The Sun Curse is a deadly ailment" Drew who was standing a few feets away, holding an empty bowl, sighed. "Although the antidote I brewed was a powerful one, Mr. Mick won't recover instantly. He still needs two days worth of rest before he can return back to normal. " "I'd advise that you give him his space during those two days. Not only that, ensure to change his diet.. he shouldn't eat meat or anything that was cooked or stir fried" he advised. "But my dad hates vegetables" Tom frowned with worry. "Well, then he has to learn how to enjoy eating them. Although he can substitute vegetables with fruits " Drew replied. "Thank you ver
