"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
"Ahahahahahahaha" Drew panted heavily as big lumps of sweat rolled down his face. After much efforts, he finally raised all his stats to level one. However, it wasn't easy. Throughout his breakthrough, he went through pains that he had never experienced in his life. Although he still had more deci points capable of making him level up, he refused to do so. The pain he went through was still fresh in his mind. "Are you okay?" Amelia asked, from besides him. "Hah. It was just an allergy of mine. I hate cars with air conditioners" Drew lied. "Oh" Amelia swiftly instructed her Driver to switch off the air conditioner. Few minutes later, the driver informed them - "We're here!" Drew looked through the window and saw a huge gate made of pure solid gold. It seemed to be piercing through the sky, totally concealing what was hidden behind it. "Isn't that pure gold?" Drew unconsciously murmured. "Hm. Mr. Callahan is known for being one who lives a life of luxury""Plus this golden gat
Steve held his cheeks which had an obvious red hand print. He glared daggers at the culprit."Brat! you are so dead!"Drew sneered in response."Why am i still standing alive and kicking?"He wasn't scared of Steve retaliating. He secretly used 'Analysis' on the latter. The results showed he just had the combat strength of a peak athlete.He wasn't even a Deviant.Steve huffed and left, ashamed to show his face to the public after suffering such humilation.Worst of all, he couldn't do anything about. Judging by his attacker's speed, he was definitely a Deviant.After Steve left, the garden went back to it's usual liveliness. The earlier rucus was just a farce."You.. You shouldn't have done that!" Amelia bit her lips, her expression scrunched up with worry."Did what exactly?" Drew threw a piece of grilled meat into his mouth, munching on it with relish.Amelia became incensed when she saw Drew's unbothered reaction."You shouldn't have slapped Steve! atleast not in such a public plac
"Who said that? May i know which expert it is? Perhaps, I'll be able to learn a few things" Julian's lips curled up sarcastically as he glared at the crowd below him."I Dare not call myself an expert. However, I am confident that young master Julian had the wrong diagnosis" Drew fiddled with an empty glass cup.He instantly became the center of attention."Isn't that the guy who caused a ruckus earlier?""He's pretty bold to dare lecture young master Julian""Pah, I bet he's just a clout chaser, seeking young miss Charlotte's attention"Drew remained unfazed as the insults thrown at him. He had been through much worse scenerios back during his high school and college days.He had unknowingly cultivated an immunity to such jeerings.Julian studied Drew. Judging by his appearance, he was bound to be somebody of high status."May I know this young master's name?""My name isn't important. Curing Mr. Callahan is"Julian clicked his tongue."But just now, you said my diagnosis was wrong. D
The banquet lasted till evening. It was a real eye opener for Drew. Recalling the expensive gifts Mr. Callahan recieved, he felt mad with rage. If only he could buy them all! As for Julian, Drew found him really accomodating. He wasn't proud nor arrogant, although he had a bit of over confidence. However, they hit the road quite well. They even exchanged contacts and promised to be in touch. Soon, it was only Mr. Callahan, Charlotte, Drew and Amelia left at the banquet table. "It's getting late. I think i must take my leave now" Drew attempted to stand up. However, Mr. Callahan swiftly interjected. "How can i not show hospitality to my benefactor? may i be bold enough to implore that young master Drew pass the night at my place?" Mr. Callahan was quite respectful. He believed that Drew had a powerful backing. Drew shrugged and turned towards Amelia. "Will you accompany me tonight?" Everyone had weird expressions when they heard Drew's ambiguous words."That.. that's not wh
Angela walked into Star Times hospital, stopping at the receptionist booth."How may i help you?" the female receptionist flashed her warmest smile, exposing two dimples on her cheeks."I want to see the main Doctor. Is he in?" Angela demanded haughtily."You mean Doctor Collins? pardon me but do you have an appointment with him?""Do i need to book an appointment to see someone?" Angela hissed with annoyance.How dare this lowly receptionist reject her? does she know who she is?!The female receptionist coughed lightly, in an attempt to easen the heavy situation."It's the norm around here. Nobody is exempted"Angela's rage rose to the top. Her nose flared up as she slapped her palms on the counter desk."Insulting! never in my life have i felt so insulted!"Due to Angela's exaggerated outburst, she succeeded in alerting everyone in the hospital.Nurses and Doctors trooped into the lobby area, curious at as what the commotion was all about."Is there a problem madam?" Doctor Collins
MINUTES AGO, "So, can you tell me more about your family?" Amelia asked Drew. "Why do you sound like a girlfriend who is about to meet her man's people huh?" Drew stroke his chin teasingly. A red blush crept up Amelia's cheeks, just imagining she and Drew together. However, her hopes were shattered when she remembered that he was going to date the beautiful Charlotte for a month. In terms of beauty and staus, she stood no chance! "What's wrong?" Drew noticed something amiss. "I am just thinking. I can't believe i lost my job that easily. It feels kind of like a dream. Everything happened so fast" "You won't be blaming me in your mind, right?" Drew feigned puppy eyes, causing Amelia to burst into an hearty fit of laughter. "Why would i? that jerk deserves it. Plus, it's kind of like a relief. Atleast i will be free of that old pervert's pesterings" "That reminds me. I was about to discuss something with you, but got interrupted due to the banquet" Drew bit the bullet."Oh?" A
