"Hello?" he said, his voice dripping with malice. "Has it been done?" There was a pause, and then he continued, "I told you to be smart about this. I expected you to apprehend the young Watson before anyone else could get to them. But it seems like an older man beat you to it. Unacceptable."His voice was cold and harsh as he continued, "You've been useless. But I'll still pay you, as promised. I'll take it from here." And with that, he ended the call without even saying goodbye. The young man stood there for a moment, his mind racing. He had failed his employer, and he knew there would be consequences. But he also knew that he had to act quickly if he wanted to salvage the situation.Just then, the sound of a microphone being switched on reverberated through the air, followed by a booming voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to welcome the Watsons family to the stage!" The young man in the gold suit stood up a little straighter, his eyes narrowing. "Just the people I've be
"I bet that suit must have cost a million dollars," one woman said, admiring the Watson family as they made their way along the red carpet."Yeah, and I heard the Watsons are worth billions of thousands," another added."Young Master Watson is so cute, isn't he? He looks even cuter than before," a third woman said."Yeah, I barely recognized him from the last time I saw him," someone else chimed in.The Watsons seemed oblivious to the conversations happening around them, absorbed in their own thoughts. Sultan, on the other hand, looked very alert, his nose twitching and ears pricked up, clearly interested in the new surroundings. Or perhaps he was just highly alert. "Funny how these people think I'm the young Master Watson," Sultan thought with a hint of amusement. "This can't be a mere coincidence or a setup. It has to be..."Just as he was about to make sense of the situation, Madam Watson tapped him on the shoulder. Startled, he turned to face her."You should mingle with the guest
"Let's play a game of power," Sultan thought to himself, his gaze fixed on a group of elderly men gathered in one corner of the room. They were perfect targets. With each step, he could feel his confidence grow. Step. Step. Step. As he took his third step, he felt a tug on his sleeve. "Hello, Sultan!" It was Jerry, his co-worker."Greetings, Sir!" Jerry said, bowing his head. "I apologize for calling you by your name. Please forgive me."Sultan was shocked by this sudden display of respect. He'd never seen Jerry act this way before. "What are you talking about?" he asked, taken aback."You don't know?" Jerry said, a sly smile forming on his lips. "You really don't know?"Sultan's stomach churned with unease. "Don't play dumb, Sultan," Jerry said, an unsettling smile on his face. "I've worked with you for years, and I had no idea that you were the young Master Watson. Please forgive me, Sultan." With that, he lowered the tray of snacks he held and his head, bowing before Sultan. D
“Hmmm,” Sultan grunted as he woke up, his mind still fuzzy from sleep. His ears picked up on the sound of hushed, sneaky movements, but his brain couldn't make sense of what was happening. Slowly, he opened his eyes and saw a man dressed in a black and white suit, holding the clothes he had worn to the Colonel's party."Wait, how am I not at the party?" Sultan whispered to himself, his mind still hazy from sleep. He sat up in bed, trying to make sense of his surroundings. It was a grand and magnificent bedroom."Oh, pardon me, young master," the man in the suit said. "Good morning.""Good morning," Sultan replied. "And who are you?" He asked the question automatically, even though he knew he didn't need the answer. He had already figured he was all still part of the life of the young Master Watson."Oh, pardon," Henri said, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Perhaps you didn't recognize me, young master. I am Henri, your butler.”Sultan furrowed his brow in confusion and thought, "
“Lovely aroma,” Sultan mumbled as he spritzed the clothes he had just put on with a fresh, scented perfume. Even without the perfume, he would have smelled heavenly due to the body scrub and shampoo he had used while bathing. He ran a comb through his hair and looked at himself in the mirror. "Dashing," he commented, admiring the way the sweatshirt and sweatpants looked on him. He smiled satisfactorily as he picked up the tarot card from the table and slipped it into the pocket of his sweatpants. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to do the deal you wanted," he mumbled to the card in his pocket. "You feel cheated, and I understand that. But I promise I'll go to your world as soon as everything is sorted out, okay?" "You've already done so much for me, and you're still doing more," Sultan continued to speak to the tarot card in his pocket. "Even if your world is a crazy one, I owe you this at least," he added, still admiring his reflection in the mirror. Earlier, Sultan had taken
"Wow," Sultan whispered to himself, his mouth watering at the sight of the large dining table, covered in a variety of sumptuous dishes. Although most of the foods were exotic and foreign to him, they smelled absolutely delicious. This was what the elite ate. "Come on, everyone, dig in," Master Watson announced as he lifted his fork. The other visitors followed suit. But Sultan hesitated. A pang of guilt twisted his stomach. He knew that he shouldn't be eating this food - it was meant for the real Young Master Watson. But he was so hungry. He looked down at his plate, feeling torn. His eyes fell on a piece of toasted bread. "Oh well," he mumbled, picking it up and taking a bite. It tasted even better than it smelled. "Hah!" he exclaimed, enjoying the taste. "Oh my goodness, this is so good!" He spoke without realizing that the rest of the table had fallen silent. When he looked up, he saw that the other guests were staring at him. His cheeks reddened. "Er... I mean... the fo
"Are you sure you want to go out and to the company, son?" Mr. Watson asked Sultan, his lips twitching as he watched Sultan get into the black Bugatti Chiron."Yes, I am not weak and I am well, so you don't need to worry," Sultan said, his tone gentle yet direct."Well, I won't stop you," Mr. Watson sighed in resignation. Mr. Watson continued, "But keep in mind that we still have a lot to discuss, Emmett."Sultan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Mr. Watson's words. He began to wonder if the man had finally realized that he wasn't his real son. "Ye-yes, Father," he stammered. "I mean to say, I understand."Mr. Watson nodded. "Good. Lugard will be with you wherever you go," he said, turning to the bodyguard who had been with Sultan before yesterday's party. Lugard nodded. "I'll make sure he's safe, Mr. Watson," he said, his voice deep and even."Thank you, Lugard," Mr. Watson said. He turned back to Sultan. "Now, don't stay out too late. And call me if you need anything."Sultan no
Immediately, Sultan found himself in the other world which he clearly remembered was called the Major Arcana world, he fell in shock beyond words and exclaimed, "Oh my God, what the hell?" He was so surprised that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground and fell, his butt hitting the ground, while his hands were on the ground, supporting his weight as he gazed at the people in front of him. When he turned his head left and right, he saw that there were even more people, and when he turned back, there were people, all around him.They were all wearing white, patterned garments, and some had faces that shimmered, making it difficult to make out their features. Some of them didn't even seem to have fully visible bodies. Sultan closed his eyes, tapping his hand on his face. “Perhaps this is all a dream, perhaps it is just my imagination running wild. This has to be and I need to get out of it,” he thought to himself. He looked around the ground for the tarot card, hoping to use it to
