..The next day it didn’t take long for unexpected news to spread.On all media, there was only one news conveying one fact.The Griffith Family went bankrupt.It soon became the talk of the entire Sycamore city.“Hey what the hell?! I can’t believe it. The Griffith family went bankrupt! How’s that even possible?! They are among the top 100 richest families in the sycamore city.”“I don’t know bro but the news about the Griffith family is true! Now that I’m thinking about it. That might be the reason he couldn’t pay for the food in that video.”“Yes. You’re right but what do you think led to their bankruptcy I can’t think of anything that could lead to the bankruptcy of such a big family. Hell, they own 5% of Sycamore city!”“Same here bro but the news says that their system was hacked and funds were practically taken from the accounts of every member of the Griffith family.”“Shit! That’s f*cking messed up! Those hackers are really good. For them to move such large amounts of funds
..Confusion, disappointment, fear, and complete bewilderment were what Derrick felt all at once.How?…. This bastard!After seeing the mischievous smile on Mason’s face, Derrick wanted to believe that Mason was the cause.However“No…”He quickly shrugged that thought out of his mind.There’s just no way that this poor rat can be responsible for his sudden misfortune. In short, maybe his father is trying to punish him for something he did without noticing.However, that doesn’t mean that he was not furious at Mason right now.Cynthia could tell that something is wrong so she couldn’t help but ask. “Derrick, what’s going on?”However, her asking didn’t help matters at all.“Shut the f*ck up you b*tch!” Derrick screamed in anger.He was so frustrated right now that he didn’t need anybody’s shit.“Why are you screaming at me?! I didn’t do anything!”“Yes you didn’t but right now I don’t want to hear your slutty voice!”To be honest Derrick never cared about Cynthia. The only reason he
..The cafeteria became all noisy as soon as the confrontation between Mason and Derrick started but after Derrick poured a meal all over Mason it became calm.Silence dawned on the cafeteria like the angel of death had just walked past.Everybody all had eyes on Mason waiting to see what his reaction will be.The scenario of confrontation between both men is different today.Derrick doesn’t have his bodyguards to protect him so Mason has more leverage to fight Derrick without meeting any resistance.However, Mason stood there for 30 seconds which seemed like an eternity as everyone was all waiting for his response before they saw him make a whisper.In short, they could all see Mason whispering at the moment.That was all they could see but he was talking to his Jinni, and he was just about to use his one wish for today.…“What’s your wish?”“I wish for all the Griffith family fortunes to turn into nothing but dust. There must not be a single penny left in their name right this min
..Where have I been since yesterday?A very reasonable question Mason had to answer, however, it was a good thing Mason asked himself this question before Eddy did.He knew he couldn’t tell Eddy about what happened yesterday. It’s not that he doesn’t trust Eddy. It’s just that the lesser people know his secret, the better for him so he had to cook up another answer for a moment like this.“I was picked up by a Good Samaritan after he saw me lying unconscious on the ground. Thanks to him I’m okay. He not only see it to it that I was okay but he also clothed me and offered me a job.” Mason explained with joy in his eyes even when he was acting.In short, the joy in his eyes was true just the story was a lie.“Oh wow! That’s great. Who knew a such good person exist in Sycamore city.” Eddy's eyes lit up with Joy. “Then that’s great.”Eddy was truly happy. This person ended up doing what he couldn’t do. Eddy has always wanted to help Mason get a better job but he couldn’t pull any cards
..A journey that would’ve taken him two days to get to his destination only took two hours by flight.The benefits of being rich are worth any work after all.The helicopter landed at Sycamore city’s airport. Before Mason got off the helicopter, a beautiful flight attendant had him change.Mason wasn’t too stunned by this because he had been briefed in their meeting about this part. Even though he’s still trying to hide his identity, coming out of a luxurious helicopter with his old clothes will only do more harm than good.If anyone is watching every move of the Gray family right now, they will probably find it fishy to see such luxurious service being rendered to someone who looked unimportant. So Mason’s clothes were changed and he took a haircut which made him look like a brand new person.Mason stepped out of the helicopter feeling great and then he entered a black Rolls-Royce.Entering the car, Mason got a shot of another dopamine inside his head.He and the Jinni sat inside t
. . Since yesterday Mason had been shocked so much that he had lost count of the number of shocks he has received so far. And now he’s receiving another shock. A shock so great that his expression couldn’t hide it. “A-All these companies…” “What about the companies?” Pablo asked with an indifferent expression. “All these are big popular companies!” Mason exclaimed. When Pablo first talked about companies listed in the files, Mason was expecting to see a few successful companies but he wasn’t expecting to see this. Inside the black file in his hands is the world-known multi-billion dollar company listed. Companies that influenced the entire world in different industries. There was Amezon, Mike, Louis Vu*tton and there was even gaogle! The first hundred companies Mason could see on the files were all known companies and there were even more. “A-Are you saying I own all these companies now?” Mason asked as he gulped in his saliva. “Of course.” The Jinni's sweet voice entered his
..The knock had interrupted both Mason’s and the Jinni’s conversation so Mason got up to see who was on the door.Upon opening the door, a familiar face came into his view.“Good morning master.” Ted bowed respectfully.Ted had now changed and freshened up from his old look of only a few hours ago. He was now wearing a morning tailcoat suit. He was dressed like how any butler would usually be dressed except that he was a very young man compared to the image of an old man.It was now 11 am late morning and Ted knew his new master needed enough time to sleep through everything and that was why he was only coming to wake him this late.“Master I came to inform you that breakfast is now ready in the dining room,” Ted said with his head still slightly bowed.Mason was left in a daze for a few seconds before he swiftly recovered his composure. Honestly, this treatment of importance is something he will have to get used to.“I’m sorry…thanks for the information but Ted I have to ask, is t
..For the very first time in a while, Mason was glad to wake up and this was mostly because he was not waking up as the poor boy he used to be, but as the owner of the best treasure in the world. Not only was he the owner of the best treasure in the world but he was also the leader of the strongest family.With so much wealth and power in his hands, there was only one thing Mason wanted to do and that was to flaunt his wealth and relax. He wanted to enjoy himself as much as possible since he was now rich but life was a sucker that still had to mess up his plans.Even though he was now rich, he quickly realized that he can’t reveal his identity just yet. Hearing from the Jinni that people would want to take his life to get his ring made him cautious. After all, he doesn’t know any of these people that will be after his ring so revealing himself to the world will only increase his chances of not enjoying his inheritance for too long.Mason was quick to realize that if he wants to enjoy
..Mason was more confused than ever.How is he married? It doesn't make any sense. It was then he suddenly realized why it was so.Seeing the confusion in his eyes for a moment, the Jinni smiled and began to explain. “You were bound to marriage by your parents to a girl in the family with the second treasure while you were still a baby”“Wait that means technically it was all an arranged marriage?”“Yes.” The Jinni smiled seeing that the young man was beginning to catch up. “The girl in the second family is supposedly your wife and I’m sure she will still be waiting for you.”For the very first time since meeting the mysterious beautiful lady in front of him, Mason frowned due to her words. He did not like the idea of this his proclaimed wife one bit.“I don’t think I can fulfill this wish of my grandfather by getting together with a woman that I do not know.” Mason quickly spoke out in a serious tone. “My parents may have married me off to someone else before I knew about it but I

I like it when a story would have less chapters than long-running ones.
