CeeKay Herbal Garden was the largest trading firm in the whole of Rose Gates. They often bought rare herbs and sold them back at sky high prizes. They were also major partners of Red Mist Auction house. Their monthly Auction events often attracted the eyes of those within and beyond Delta City. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say they occupied sixty percent of the herb market in the whole of Delta City. Drew walked into the lobby of the main headquarters. Besides him was Rick, who kept staring around like an inquisitive village bumpkin. "Hello Sir, what would you like to buy?" a female sales agent walked over to Drew, bowing cautiously. Rose Gates due to it's illustrious reputation was a breeding ground for various crouching tigers and sleeping tigers. Big family Patriarchs, top government officials, big business bigwigs.. One could mistakenly offend a seemingly ordinary passer-by who was actually a bigshot wanting to purchase some rare herbs.It was only in Rose Garden that the
"I'll pay twenty thousand!" These words echoed loudly in the ears of the Shop keeper, almost making him go deaf. What's wrong with this people? couldn't they see that the couldron was just a useless piece of junk?! "Uhm.. esteemed young lady, can you repeat your words again?" he asked with a polite smile, afraid that he might've misheard. "I will buy that Couldron for twenty thousand bucks. Wrap it up for me!" the rich young miss clicked her tongue in a haughty manner. "Excellent!" the Shop keeper clapped with glee, about to wrap up the item. "Wait" Drew called out with a frown. "I made the offer to purchase that couldron before she did. Isn't it first come first serve?" "Hah" the Shop keeper let out a depressed sigh. "It's not like I don't stick to business ethics. It's just that I feel you are down-paying me" "Down-paying you?" "Yes. Yes. I made a slip of tongue. This couldron is actually worth twenty three thousand. Your two thousand won't work""Shameless! pui!" Rick sp
Drew had no choice but to re-evaluate Sora closely. Peak of the Decimus rank? And the worst of all that happened was that Sora was the same age group and achieved all this without the help of a system! "Who are you?" he asked. "Do you know what the punishmement for bullying my younger sister?" Sora's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. "Don't be unreasonable here friend. She had it coming for trying to snatch what I wanted to buy" If anything, Drew didn't want to exchange Blows with Sora. Although he had *Berserk Body*, using the skill was quite taxing to his body. "Then you should've just let her be" Sora replied like it was the perfect thing to say "Tch. Are all you rich folks so daft?" Drew didn't bother trying to mediate with the other party. Fwomb! He threw a fast punch, aiming at Sora's chest. He wanted to punch a hole right through it! "Hmph!" snortly coldly, Sora narrowly missed the strike, retaliating with a kick of his own. How could Drew dodge this? the kick s
-[Rank limit is the upper limit, dividing a rank from another rank. Take for example, a Deviant at the peak of level twenty of the Decimus rank faces off against a Deviant at the first level of the Octavus rank. The former would be completely helpless before the latter, even if they have an innate talent of level skipping, except they can rank skip as well] Hearing these explainations, Oscar finaltly understood just how terrifying Sora was. However, that didn't dampen his confidenbe in the very least. Instead, it roused his desire to spend money even more... The whole family were in the midst of eating lunch when they noticed Drew descending the stairs with a lively expression. Scanning around with his eyes, Drew frowned when he didn't see Amelia. He still had to thank her. If not for her words, he would still have been sulking inside his room. "Stinking brat!" Victoria threw a chunk of orange at Drew, who allowed it to intentionally smash against his face."Ow! that hurts!"
Amelia sensed Drew's mood, causing her to frown with worry. "Are you okay?" "Hm" Drew sucked in a deep breath as he closed the file. "Did Red Mist Corporation start any kind of projects recently?" "Now that you mention it, they seem to have gone into real estate investing. I heard they are building a residential villa in West Wings" Amelia replied, with confusion. Why did Drew suddenly become interested in Red Mist Corporation? But she seemed to have thought of something, causing a red ting to appear on her cheeks. "Real estate huh, I want you to monitor their progress in that area. Also, what is the largest real estate company in Delta City?" "I recall it's Junewood Properties" Amelia immersed herself in the business world right from her time as a Red Mist Auction House manager. As such, this was basic knowledge to her. "Good. I want to obtain full rights to that company and it should be transitioned into a subsdiary of Dremelia Investment Group. As for the name.. hmm.. gi
Adam felt an headache coming. Of late, the country has experienced a decline in military might due to the constant wars that the neighbouring countries waged. Bendel was a country blessed with abundant resources. Unfortunately, this sparked the greed of the other neighbouring countries who wanted to have a slice of the juicy cake called Bendel. Although the ten great War Generals had tremendous strength, a tactic agreement barred Deviants of their level from joining in the conflict. As such, they could only helplessly send out weaker troops to the battle ground. But lately, an additional country allied themself with the enemy country, putting great pressure on Bendel Army. To tackle this situation, the government began searching for a way to increase the country's number of Deviants. Dr. Collins was the one in charge of this project. For years he had been going on in his research and lately, his effort began showing some results.But now he was dead. All the years of efforts an
Drew swiftly packaged the potion. Just as he attempted to stand up, he felt an intense wave of dizziness. It was the result of completely depleting his martial energy. Unable to fight it, Drew allowed nature to take it's course... Ring! Ring! Ring! Drew woke up with a start when he heard his phone ringing. It was a call from Amelia. "Yes?" he yawned, obviously still sleepy. "Drew, Mr. Ryan is already waiting" "So early?" Drew questioned with surprise. "Are you kidding me? it's half past noon!" "Huh?" Drew glanced at the expensive wall clock in the room. Indeed. It was just as Amelia claimed. But that further puzzled Drew. How in the hell did he sleep so much?-[It is because Host completely drained his martial energy. Thus, it results in an automatic coma. By being in a self conscious state, Host body experiences a reboot, slowly recovering the lost martial energy] "Oh" Drew's eyes flashed with understanding. However when he sensed his body condition, he frowned.He onl
The Head of Security became pissed off when he heard his subordinate's claims. "How dare you? do you think this place is a slum for street rats like you?! Scram now, before I make you!" Drew sighed. Looks like he wouldn't be able to settle the conflict with just words alone. "Excuse me, I want to call the person that I am supposed to meet inside" he said, bringing out his phone. "Tch. Isn't it just an excuse for you to call reinforcement? I mean, what can an acquitance of a street thug like you be doing in such an exclusive restaurant eh?" Jimmy laughed sarcastically, causing the expression of the Head Of Security to darken. "Brat, do you want to pick a fight with us?!" "What's your problem dude? why do you always keep picking on me huh?" Oscar snapped harshly at Jimmy. "Hmph. I just have a natural dislike for ignorant idiots who don't know what's good for them. Hmph" "Tsk" Drew found it tiring to exchange words with subh a cocky person. He quicky placed a call over to Mr. Ry
"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
