When Drew exited the hospital, he flagged down a taxi.
"Where to?" the taxi man asked respectfully. "The nearest boutique. The faster you get me there, the more tips you will recieve" Drew said as he got in. The taxi man's eyes lit up. Another generous customer. He instantly stepped on the pedal and brought the vehicle to life. While the taxi man did his best to drive at his maximum, Drew sat comfortably at the back seat. He opened the system panel and tried increasing his strength stat.-[To increase strength stat by +1 costs 2 deci points] Drew went ahed, successfully increasing his strength stat. He only felt a slight ache in his biceps before the feeling vanished. Drew used up another six deci points, successfully increasing it to seven. He squandered the remaining ten deci points on his physique, bringing it on par with his strength stat. Due to this, his base damage increased. "This is not enough! i have to spend more money and get more deci points" he thought inwardly.At that moment, the taxi man halted. "Why did you stop?" Drew jolted up in surprise. "Uh sir, we are at the boutique already" the taxi man replied. "Oh" Drew looked through the mirror and saw the huge boutique. He got down and poked his head through the driver's window. "How much is your fare?" "Five dollars. You promised to add tips, remember?" the taxi man hurriedly reminded Drew. Just as he wanted to pay up, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have any cash on him. Damn, he only had money in his bank account. "Uhm.." staring at the expectant taxi man, he didn't know what to say. "Is there a problem sir?" the taxi man noticed something was wrong. "Uh, there is a complication. You see, i just came from the bank after doing a deposit. I don't have cash currently so can.." Drew didn't even complete his sentence when the taxi man interrupted with a sneer. "Weren't you coming out from a hospital?" Drew felt even more embarrassed. He didn't expect his little white lie to get exposed."Well.." he wanted to explain, but would the other party let him. "Sheesh. I never expected you to be one of those scammers out there. How dare you ride on my taxi and refuse to pay?" the taxi man got out from the vehicle and held Drew by the collar. "Mister, it hasn't gotten to that level of violence is it? It's just five dollars right?" Drew smiled bitterly. "Then pay up if you can. Do you think i don't dare hit you?" the taxi man brought a clenched fist closer to Drew face. Seeing that the other party wanted to resort to violence, Drew used Analysis on him. If his opponent was weaker than him, then maybe he could make a run for it.-[TARGET INFO]

Just as he wanted to beat it, a stern voice interrupted his thoughts."What do you think you are doing huh?" A burly man in english suit took long strides towards Drew's direction. He and his colleagues were the guards stationed at the entrance of the boutique. Just now, they noticed these two men of unknown origin about to erupt in a brawl. So he had no choice but to stop them. If other customers saw this scene, it would make the boutique's reputation decrease. "This bastard here rode on my taxi and refuses to pay. Of course i am about to beat him up" the taxi man replied in a 'matter of factly' way. "I said i don't have cash. Can't you accept through bank transfer?!" Drew felt aggrieved. If the public knew the world richest man was being dragged down to pay up a meagre bill of five dollars, how would they feel. "You heard the man, don't you accept through bank transfer?" the body guard frowned. "You should've said so from the first moment" the taxi man grumbled and called out his account number.Drew brought out his phone and did the transfer. Seconds later, the taxi man heard a beep from within his vehicle. "That must be the credit alert. Can you let me go now?" Drew smirked lackadaisically. "Hmph" the taxi man released his grip off Drew's collar. He got into his taxi and drove off. "Man. That was embarrassing" Drew scratched his nose. "Next time, never forget your wallet" the guard gave a friendly reply. He thought the reason Drew couldn't pay up was because he forgot his wallet. "My name is Drew" Drew extended his hand for an handshake "Mario" the guard accepted. The two men shook hands. Drew was the first to break the silence. "I want to buy some clothes for myself. Where do i go?" he asked. "Just walk in. At your left, you will see the male section. Enjoy your day" Mario smiled. When Drew stepped into the boutique, he was mesmerized by the sheer size and fancy decor. He noticed people gathered around the cashier booth.Once in a while, somebody would place their shopping bags on the Cashier's desk. The cashier would input something on the computer and that person would be free to leave. Following Mario's advice, Drew walked towards the left, arriving at the male section. Oxford shirts, sneakers, pants, baseball caps, sweatshirts, etc. Drew saw a lot of male clothing. Taking a glance at the price tags, he nodded in satisfaction. The minimum price started at $100 And increased up to a thousand bucks at maximum At that instant, Drew made a decision. He would buy as many stuff as he could. Money wasn't a problem after all. At that time, he noticed an unread notification.-[You have face slapped the taxi man by paying him more than tenfold his fare]-[You have been rewarded with +2 deci points] At that moment, the taxi of before was parked at a corner of the road. Inside the vehicle, the taxi man kept on staring at his phone screen. His mouth was dead open? Yet he could barely say a word.A thousand dollars! that was what was credited to his account. "Did that man really transferred this sum to me? or was it just a coincidence?" he questioned himself.Drew erupted in an aggressive shopping spree, grabbing every and any clothes he saw. Naturally, his actions garnered the attention of the other customers.
"Look at that guy!" "He's shopping like a lady. Look! he doesn't even bothers to check the price tag or something" "Look! he just picked that branded shirt that cost two thousand dollars!" Just when everyone were in awe for Drew's lavish shopping, somebody snorted. It was a young man wearing shades and branded clothes. His hair was styled stylishly and the diamond chain necklace around his neck was quite eye catching. "What an idiot" he snorted. Although he wasn't too loud, most customers in the male section managed to hear his words. He became the center of attention. The stylish young man puffed out his chest and continued."Everyone, don't be deceived by that man over there" he pointed towards Drew. "A moment ago when i arrived at the boutique, i saw him in a conflict with a taxi man. Apparently, he couldn't afford to pay for a taxi ride. So how could he afford to pay for these many clothes?" the stylish young man sniggered. "Maybe this young man is right" "Yeah. Come to think of it, this man isn't wearing branded clothes like us" "Hell, look at his shoe. Did he pick them up from the dumpsite" Humans were a complicated race who always went with the flow. Since the stylish young man 'exposed' Drew and there was enough reason to back up his claims, they began to throw in their support. They all thought Drew was doing this for clout. After shopping to his satisfaction, Drew stopped. From the beginning to the end, he completely ignored the gossips flying around about him. He was now the world's richest man. It would be demeaning of his status to exchange words with this group of low lives.Under the attention of everyone, he pushed his three carts loaded with expensive clothing towards the cashier in the male section. The stylish young man sneered inwardly. He was waiting for Drew to embarrass himself. Although shocked, the cashier began to inspect the clothes Drew bought, as well as allocating their prices. After a while, the cashier looked up at Drew. "Sir. Everything you bought costs twenty six thousand dollars" Drew nodded. However inwardly, he was extremely excited. Twenty six thousand dollars! doing the maths, wouldn't that give him twenty six deci points? Adding the one thousand dollars he transferred to the taxi man, that would be twenty seven deci points. He refused to believe these wouldn't be enough for him to reach level one. Drew asked for the boutique account number. To everyone's shock, he transferred the money to the company. Not a penny less. How could he miss out on this chance to earn deci points.Infact, he even wished to send triple the price. However he didn't do so. Rollie warned him to not spend lavishly without a reasonable reason. After the clothes were packaged, Drew swaggered out under the gawking gazes of all in the boutique. As for the stylish man, his face looked like one who just ate a fly.Drew exited the boutique. Behind him were two security guards who held the things he just bough. Perhaps it was due to his lavish spending, but he noticed that the boutique management became more respectful to him. Just as he wanted to flag down a cab, he suddenly heard a voice. "Sir!" Turning over, he saw somebody sprinting towards him. It was the taxi man from before. The taxi man arrived before Drew and started panting, while leaning his arms against his knee. "Are you okay?" Drew asked, with genuine concern. Putong! To his shock, the taxi man dropped to his knees, tears steaming down his cheeks. "What are you doing?!" Drew shrieked in shock. His first reaction was to raise the taxi man up, but the latter refused to budge. "Allow me sir to fully show my appreciation! I also want to apologize for misunderstanding you earlier" the taxi man wailed as he grabbed the helm of Drew's pants. At that moment, he remembered he did send some extra cash to this taxi man."Why are you
Hugo and his wife were shocked when Drew quickly retracted his hands. Not just them, even Drew was confused. [That boy has a deadly illness. It can spread through skin contact, though it is only limited to Deviants] Drew breathed a sigh in relief. At that moment, Hugo spoke worriedly. "Is anything the matter Mr. Drew?" "It's nothing serious. I just noticed something peculiar about your child's illness. Let me inspect him a bit" Drew lied, while feigning to be deep in thoughts. "What kind of illness is it?" He asked Rollie. [Scan him with the analysis skill] Drew did as he was told. Soon, the results were out. -[TARGET INFO]-Name: Rick Martins-Age: 7-Zodiac: Aries-Specie: Homo-sapiens-Agility: 1-Speed: 1-Physique: 1-Strength: 1-Energy: 10-Combat power: 2! ! ! - Target has contacted the Evil shade virus. Host should keep his distance "What's an Evil shade virus?" Drew questioned. [Evil shade virus is a deadly ailment feared by Deviants][It is born when an homo sapi
Just as the two were about to grab Drew and throw him out, a voice halted their actions. "Stop!" A lady in blood red cocktail party dress hurriedly descended the stairs. Although she wore heels, she was pretty fast when she moved. "Miss. Diane!" the two bouncers gasped in shock when they saw this lady. Even those audiences waiting for a good show to play were gobsmacked. Why was she here?! "Tory and Bryan, how many times have i told you to respect the wants and needs of the customers huh?" Diane chastised the two bouncers. "But he clearly dosen't look like someone rich" Tory could only grumble this words in his stomach, whilst nodding like a male lizard. "Sir, I am sorry for the bad performance these two did. I hope you don't take it to heart" Diane probed Drew. "It was just a misunderstanding" Drew replied blankly. The previous charade made him lose his appetite. But he wasn't one to run away from what he started."But I am curious" his expression became one of amusement. "
Drew signed the necessary documents and recieved two cards. He handed one over to Hugo. "I.." Hugo wanted to reject. It was not like he was deaf or something. This card was worth a million grams. However, the gaze Drew shot at his way shut him up. Diane watched this display in surprise. She felt that this young man who could spend two million without batting an eyelid was anything but simple. Plus, he didn't like showing off and treated his subordinates well. Unlike the other young rich scions she met in the past, Drew was simply exceptional. Having good looks was a triple plus too. "Thank you miss Diane. You have done me a favour" Drew showed his appreciation. "What are you doing? you were the one who spent the money!" Diane laughed with amusement. However, she would never have expected the real reason Drew was thanking her was because of the two thousand deci points he profitted from their deal. "So, what are your plans?" she asked."Uhm.." "You didn't come here for sights
The auction went on and there were many cases of heavy biddings. So far the most bid went to an ancient sculpture which got auctioned off at a whooping price of hundred million dollars!Just at that moment, a new display box was dragged to the stage. Malik became solemn."Our auction has three main items. And allow me to introduce to you all ladies and gentlemen, the first item!"The whole auction hall became silent. Everyone stared straight at the display box, curious at what it held."The first item was found in a monastary. According to our analysis, it was destroyed single handedly by a powerful expert"The crowd gasped at the words Malik said. Such an existence who could flatten a monastary wouldn't be an unknown figure."We later figured out the culprit's identity. It turns out to be the Zlad family fifth lord"The crowd erupted into mumurs and heated discussion. The Zlad family was a powerful family made up of Vampires. And the Zlad family fifth lord was nicknamed Hell Bringer.
Jace's mouth was wide as saucers. He thought he was mishearing things. A commoner dared label the powerful Caspian family as trash?! "Hmph. Since you can't refute my words. That means I'm right" Drew sighed, like as if he was helpless over the situation. "Mr. Drew, I don't think this is a good idea" Diane secretly tugged at his arm. Her beautiful face was currently sweating profusely and her legs shaking underneath the flowery dress she wore. What was wrong with this guy? did he eat the gall of a tiger?! "Don't worry. It's fine" Drew smiled confidently. With the vast amount of deci points he had, he was pretty confident in himself. "Maybe I'll just swat whatever Caspian family patriach to death. That would make a pretty good headline, hehe' he thought proudly to himself. Jace finally found his bearings. He so much wanted to pummel this brat to death, however he was in a public place. If the media recorded him bullying a commoner, it would sully his family reputation.He took
"Bring the items forward!"Just after Amelia spoke, the door swung open. A burly man wearing a mask walked into the office, holding a huge box. Behind him were two additional well built men who took their stand behind Drew."Miss Amelia? what is the meaning of this?" Drew frowned."Ah, Mr. Drew, don't take offense. Many people have bid so much but when it reaches time for them to pay, we discover that they are just paupers with big mouths. This is just a preventive safety measure. Mr. Drew should please bear with it"Drew sneered inwardly when he heard these words."Is Miss. Amelia insinuating that I cannot pay up?""Time will tell" Amelia flashed him another lovely smile.Adding the five hundred million you bid on that unknown rock, plus your earlier bid on that medicinal herb the jade eyed ginseng, your total bid amounted to a whooping of eight hundred million. How do you wish to proceed with the payment?"After Amelia finished speaking, she studied Drew intently.If the latter showe
"So, what are you going to do now?" Amelia asked Drew curiously.They were currently at her garden, sipping from their seperate mugs oe steamy tea.'Aha! life is good' Drew relished on the taste of the tea.Days ago, he would never have expected to take a whiff of such an expensive coffe, talkless of drinking it.He had the system to thank for giving him such privilages."Well, I am looking for some ingredients" he replied.Amelia dropped her mug, her interest was piqued."Didn't you find them at the auction?""Nah. I only found the jade eyed ginseng. There are four more remaining"Amelia fell into silence."They must be so rare"Drew just shrugged. He had no idea how rare they were, he was just following instructions from the system.'The rarer they are, the more expensive they will be right?' Drew wouldn't pass on an opportunity to spend money."I think i know a way to help" Amelia said suddenly, although her tone lacked confidence."You know of a way? tell me quick!" Drew's eyes fla
"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
