The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 037 A Brother’s Duty
Rollo Grant lived in the south end of Sapphire City, a location mushrooming with apartments. Students, daily wage workers, and unmarried dorks mainly inhabited it. They rented places to carry on with their desperate, middle-class lives.Rollo had usurped the entire ancestral land of the Grants, an area of twenty thousand square feet. He had already started building clumsy apartments to accommodate maximum tenants at high prices.As soon as Tyler stepped into Rollo’s house, a pudgy-faced woman blocked his path.“Where do you think you are going, boy?” she barked. The woman was none other than Rollo’s wife, Velma.“Aunt Velma… It’s me, Tyler. I’ve come to see Tracy.”The woman, instead of greeting her nephew like a relative, shoved him roughly, driving him out of the house.“This isn’t an amusement park you can visit as you please!” she said, her voice dripping with malice. “Get lost!”Just then, a balding, middle-aged man rushed out of the house.“Tyler! I am so glad to see my nephew ag

The bone-weary girl was none other than Tyler's sister!"Tracy!" he exclaimed, rushing towards her in alarm. The girl raised her eyes in recognition of his voice but stumbled on a rock and fell.Tyler reached just in time to catch her weightless body. She looked up at his face and smiled bitterly. "Ty… Are you really here..? Or am I dreaming…?“Tyler could smell alcohol on her breath. She was wasted and could barely speak."I'm here, Tracy… Everything is going to be alright."The young man carried his sister inside the house and laid her on the couch. After covering her with a blanket, he turned to Rollo, who looked guilty as hell."Uncle! I'll give you a minute to explain yourself! No more lies!"Rollo gulped anxiously and hid behind a chair. "You see… Tracy indeed works as a maid… But my male tenants… the losers living in my apartments… They are alone and looking for company… So they pay me a hundred bucks for spending an hour with her… But nothing sexual, of course… Just a date…""
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 039 Surprise Guest
Tyler took his sister straight to Regent Hall and left her in Yara's care."I can't take her straight home in this condition," he said. "I'll leave you in charge of Tracy's medical aid and to sober her up. She's gone through a lot. Secrecy must be maintained. Spend as much money as necessary.""I'll do my best, boss!"Even though Tyler left his sister with Yara, he stayed in Regent Hall overnight. He couldn't use chakra healing as his mystical energy was drained in fixing Silas. However, he doled out over a hundred thousand dollars on doctors, nursing staff, supplements, and medical equipment.In the morning, Tracy opened her eyes to see a beautiful angelic face staring down at her."How are you doing?" Yara asked her with a warm smile."Who are you? Where am I?" the girl mumbled apprehensively.The beauty caressed her cheek. "I am Yara, the mistress of Regent Hall. Your brother, Tyler, works for me. He brought you here yesterday since you were sick."Tracy s
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 040 The Exhibition
The Annual Minerals Exhibition was held downtown in the suburbs of Sapphire City. It was an important event because of the sheer variety of valuable minerals showcased. Ranging from industrial minerals like gypsum to precious metals like gold and silver and stones like diamond—they were available in their purest and rarest forms. Therefore, the exhibition attracted many wealthy and upper-class people across the country.Tyler wasn’t really interested in precious stones. He was on the lookout for a rare object called the Martyr’s Bloodstone. It could remove the most stubborn curses and heal the most terminal illnesses.After exploring over a hundred lanes of the exhibition ground, he finally found a vendor claiming to sell ores from Olympus Hill, a mineral-rich region.“Come here, young man!” the vendor called out, realizing his goods had caught Tyler’s attention. “I am Jabba, one of the most esteemed sellers of rare minerals. What are you looking for? May I interest you in red diamond
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 041 The May Sapphire
Tyler carefully placed the sparkling May Sapphire in his pocket. Even though he drained its stored energy, it could be a helpful catalyst in healing practices. Moreover, his chakras were replenished, and he wanted to try a new technique.One of the henchmen rushed forward to tackle Tyler. "He's just a green young lad! I can handle him by myself!"Bam! A kick to the chest made the man fly across the way he came. He crashed into a storage shop and lay unconscious in a heap of coal.The others looked at Tyler apprehensively. Was he an experienced fighter? How was it humanly possible to kick a fully grown adult across ten yards? Where did he gain such explosive strength?Jabba, also reeling in shock, called out to his men. "Looks like the kid has some skills. That doesn't change his fatal destiny! Don't go at him once at a time. Encircle and attack him until he bites the dust!"As the goons surrounded Tyler, he smirked and activated one of his cultivated abilities—Phobos' Chariot. A shado
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 042 Major Offense
Calico was beyond furious and was about to explode. The arrogance of the man before him was mind-boggling. Clearly, everyone knew who Dwayne Mosby was—a man who commanded an army of gangsters and owned tanks and military assault weapons. He was the most feared person in Petra County! Even billionaires like Anderson and Cooper were subservient to him.What kind of madness would possess anybody to summon Dwayne himself with disrespect? Did he want to court death so badly?“What’s the delay for?” Tyler asked with mild annoyance. “I have places to be. Summon your master quickly.”Calico gritted his teeth in a fury. “Do you think I will disturb a dominant personality like Mr. Mosby for any random guy? Am I supposed to be fooled by your false claims? You must be dreaming, kid! I have already called forth twenty of my henchmen. They aren’t pipsqueaks like you have faced until now and will pound you to a pulp! You aren’t getting out of here alive today!”The young man before him indeed had goo
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 043 The Royal Family
A couple of tinted vans halted nearby, and twenty goons shuffled out of it. They were ruthless members of the Mosby gang. Calico ordered them to shut down Jabba’s shop and confiscate his goods. They dragged the corrupt vendor away like an animal carcass, possibly to an unfortunate fate.The men brought a comfy chair for Tyler to relax and wait while Dwayne was on his way.“Please forgive my earlier behavior towards you, Mr. Grant,” Calico said with lowered eyes. “Mr. Mosby will punish me accordingly.”“It’s alright,” Tyler replied. “You’ve redeemed yourself. Do you still want the May Sapphire for yourself?”The gangster shook his head apologetically. “That was a dire mistake I made. The gem is yours and yours only, sir. I will end anybody who contests your right over it!”Calico didn’t know Tyler’s identity, but Dwayne’s urgent voice had put the fear of life in him. He had never seen his boss so afraid of someone before. Tyler must be a force to be reckoned with.The crowd gathered ar
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 044 The Mysterious Disappearance
Michelle Douglas, a twenty-year-old, was the last heir of the royal family of Petra County. She was the proverbial princess, as beautiful as she was talented. The best governesses, professors, and trainers that money could buy carried out her educational upbringing. However, she was mostly home-schooled and not allowed outside the Douglas estate.On rare occasions, when Michelle went out into the world, she was stuck with an entourage of guards. Douglas was undoubtedly an overprotective grandfather since the girl grew up without parents.As Dwayne murmured the details to Tyler, Malcolm eyed the duo with a raised eyebrow. Why did he take the liberty to relate the royal family’s matters to a stranger?“So you see, Mr. Grant… How valuable Miss Douglas is to her family...”Malcolm wondered why the gangster referred to the young man with so much reverence. He was green in his years, his clothes looked ordinary, and the name Tyler Grant was unheard of. What were his credentials to be invite
