Stephen Robinson snorted smugly at the way the staffs respectfully greeted him. However, he concealed this with a calm expression. "What's this ruckus going on? don't you lot have things you should be doing? or, are you already tired of your jobs?" When the various staffs heard these threats, they directed venemous glares at Drew. "Manager. We are deeply sorry. But all this is due to the direction of this man!" a male staff mustered the courage to say as he pointed his finger at Drew. He wasn't ready to lose his job for a clout chaser's sake. "Him?" Stephen glanced at Drew. No matter what angle he looked at, he found Drew to be very ordinary, apart from his good looks. "Who is he?" Before the staffs could reply, the man who was behind Stephen gasped in surprise. "Well, Well. If it isn't Drew Lucas, kekeke" "Jason, you know this guy?" Stephen turned towards him. "Of course Mr. Stephen. We both attended the same university together" Jason replied with a fawning smile."We did?
The next day, a sweet juicy news began to circulate all around the social circle of Delta City. Apparently, the Wayne family made a public statement about the banishment of Julian and Zack. The father and son pair were no longer part of the prestigious Wayne family. If they were ever caught bearing the surname 'Wayne', they would be charged with a fine of 10 million bucks. Not only that, their house, cars and all other assets were siezed by the Wayne family, essentially leaving them penniless... "Zack, from this moment henceforth, I don't know who you are okay?" "But Timin, I thought we were business pals?" "Thanks for using the word Business. As for we being pals.. please don't get ahead of yourself. How can I be pals with a useless trash who doesn't even have a surname. Good bye for good" Sigh.. Sensing the other party had hanged up, Zack sighed. "None of them want to help us?" Julian who was besides his father asked, with a bleak expression."I am afraid so" Currently,
Silver Moon Groove was one of the most restricted areas in Delta City.. It was where the Vlad family were based. The whole estate was a property owned by the City's undisputed number one family. A scarlet Mustang pulled over in front of the large gate leading to the Silver Moon Manor, the place where the Matriarch of the Vlad family lived in. Pui! Pui! Poon!! The driver inside the Mustang horned loudly. Shortly after, a burly security guard came out through the gate entrance made for only individuals to pass. "Who dares disturb the peace here? don't you know that this is a private property?" the security guard frowned as he arrived besides the Mustang. His noise was pointed so high that it was almost touching the sky. "Good day gentld man. My name is Amelia Walters, the CEO of Dremelia Investment Group" the Mustang driver window slid down slowly, revealing Amelia's pretty face. A bewitching smile was present on her lips, which helped lessen down the Security Guard's hostility.
The next day, a huge tragedy struck Canopy corp. During the previous night, a group of unnamed thugs attacked two of their unleased office building projects, razing them to the ground. Just as many people were still reeling from such a misfortune, another juicy news began to circulate. Many civil engineering and construction companies in partnership with Canopy began making public declartions. According to a huge majority of them, the Robinson family were a bunch of crooks who meddled in illegal dealings, as such they didn't want to associate themselves with the Robinson family, or anything related to them. One by one, they began to annul all partnership deals with Canopy corporation. However, those with sharp eyes could notice that all these were just cheap excuses to disassociate themselves from the Robinson family. Which one of them didn't indulge in shady businesses. As such, the only reasonable issue was that the various business partners were scared of being looped togethe
The next day, Drew had just finished taking breakfast when his phone rang. It was a call from Mr. Henicky: Delta City's mayor. "Good morning" "I have good news for you Drew" Mr. Henicky's voice rang from the end. "Eh?" Drew's interest got piqued. "While I was asking around for where to buy the ingredients for my treatment, I stumbled on a juicy news" "Apparently, there is going to be a large scale Auction in North Heights. It will be hosted by Silver Eagle Auction House. From the rumors I heard, they far oustrip Red Mist Auction House. They fully dominate 50% of the Auction Market in Starling. All their items are super rare. It won't be difficult for you to find a breathing technique among the items they are going to auction off" Mr. Henicky explained. "I even heard that there would be herbs in the mix. You are a Divine Physician right? This Auction is bi-annual so if you miss it, you'd have to wait till the next six month."When is the date of the Auction?" Drew asked. "In th

The first thing Drew saw when he opened his eyes was the system's screen, showing him his latest progress. Due to the continous level ups of both his Soul and Martial cultivation, his body and mind were overexerted, causing him to fall unconscious. "Somebody must have placed me on the bed. Though I wonder who it was" he yawned ar he pushed the duvet off his body. Picking up his phone, he saw that there were eleven missed calls. 3 were from Becky, 4 were from Amelia and the remaining four from
Just at that moment, Drew's phone buzzed.. It was a call from Amelia. "Did Red Mist corporation trouble you again?" he asked after accepting the call. "No. Actually, the Patriarch of the Robinson family is currently with me in my office" Amelia informed him. "You can handle it by yourself right? you don't have to call me for such minor issues" "I know, but the Patriarch insists on meeting up with you. He wants to discuss a partnership with you in person" Amelia sighed as she revealed the reason for her call. "He wants to meet up with me?" Drew frowned. If it was any other day, he would'nt have any qualms with meeting with the other party. But Becky's life was in danger and he was about to go and save her. So, he had no time to waste. "There's an urgent matter I need to tackle over here. How about this.. Tell him to come back next week?" Drew suggested. Apart from rescuing Becky, he also had an auction to attend in two days time."Alright. I will tell him just that"
"Colton Halt" Simone Fork said to his bodyguard who was emotionlessly lashing Becky with a whip. Hearing his masters orders, Colton halted his actions. "Sigh, this lady is a beauty. Don't you think it would be a waste to hurt her when we should be cherishing her instead?" Simone stroked his chin, a lewd glint flashing past his eyes as he stared at the unconscious bleeding beauty tied to a chair. "But she's one of Drew's people if not his woman.. You.. You promised to help me have my revenge!" Sir Elon grumbled with discontent. "Which is why I said you are a small fry. You said this beauty might be the woman of that Drew guy right?" Sir. Elon nodded "Excellent. What is most greatest emotional blow to a man than watching your enemy riding on top your woman? " Simone chuckled. "Not to mention that this woman is a beauty.." "Young Lord Simone is brilliant. Why didn't I think of this in the beginning?!" Sir. Elon chuckled evilly as realization dawned on him "Tsk Tsk. Of course yo
