After getting home and relaxing for some moments, Mr. Williams checked his wristwatch and rose as Stella offered Mrs. Morrison a herbal tea.“I will be going home now. I have an important meeting to attend.”“Thank you very much, Mr. Williams, for being there for me on bad days. I appreciate it. God will repay you in abundance,” Mrs. Morrison said.Mr. Williams smiled. “You are always welcome.”The moment Mr. William left, Mrs. Morrison started the topic with Master.“Augustus, what are you hiding from me? Which master are you?”Augustus sighed. If he says the truth, who would believe the truth anyway? What is the point of saying it?“Mom is talking to you, Augustus,” Liam added.“I’m not the master that Mr. Lucian is talking about,” Augustus said.“Then you might have some connection with that master,” Mrs. Morrison asked.“I don't want to be repeating myself, Mom. I cannot hide from you.”“The way you show courage at Mr. Lucian’s company depends on someone or something,” Liam said.
Augustus shed tears of joy as he leaned his back on the wall of Private Key bank. He went there to confirm his account balance because he thought he might have received a fake alert from the unknown master.The notification he received didn't show the master's name or account number. All he saw was 95 billion dollars.Augustus had thought he would never forgive Liam and Mrs. Morrison, but the happiness that was flowing within him made him forget the pain of how they treated him badly.If not for old Mrs. Morrison, who took everything he owned, the master might not make him a billionaire.Augustus called the private number back but it failed. He then went to the restaurant to have a good meal and then used the opportunity to relax and think of what he would use the money for.The first thought that crossed his mind was of his daughter. He must take her out of Mrs. Morrison's house so that he can show her love he failed to do since her childhood.Days went by and weeks went by. Liam tri
Travis Lewis parked his old and cheapest electric bike in front of the Rose Garden store to buy a bouquet of 9 pink roses for Abigail, his pretty girlfriend.As a delivery staff at the university, Travis had delivered the last parcel before Abigail called him, asking him to meet her inside the Mystique Peaks Hotel tonight, for she had a big surprise for him.This was the first time Abigail would prepare a surprise for him. Overjoyed, Travis planned to surprise her with the roses first.When Travis got to the Mystique Peaks Hotel, the security guard didn't allow him to park his bike nearby, and the doormen prevented him from entering because of his poor appearance.Travis then dialed Abigail's phone number."I'm there already," Travis said"Are those roses for me?" Abigail asked."How did you know? Where are you?"Abigail laughed hysterically. "Look at your back."Travis turned back, looking around.Abigail got out from a black Chevrolet Equinox car with a scornful smile and walked tow
[The System is Activating...][12%, 30%, 45%, 77%, 100%][The system has successfully activated][You would receive a mission after 15 hours]The written words and the glistening grand system symbol disappeared, leaving Travis in total confusion. He had never encountered this thing before.Travis sat down on the bed, not quite knowing what to do next. He then thought maybe the trauma he went through from the time he lost his family had damaged his brain.He set his alarm before concluding he would keep some money for a brain test.In the morning, Travis opened his eyes while the rays of the sun filtered in through the curtain. His eyes almost popped out of his eyes as a question crept into his mind."Why did my alarm fail to wake me up?"He jumped off the bed as quickly as he realized he had missed twenty-five calls from his boss and the time was 11:55 AM already.He dialed his boss's number and received an answer on the first ring."I have replaced you, and I don't want to see your s
Gideon felt many insects roaming around in his clothes. The bright beams on his face disappeared as he wondered if the insects found their way in when he went to the zoo yesterday.“What is wrong?” Sarah asked as she noticed Gideon rubbing his body and shaking his clothes for something to come out.Gideon screamed and shook his clothes faster.A smile crept onto Travis’s face. The grand system was so fast in helping him. Now he can’t wait to see a drama happen.Sarah gave Gideon you-did-this sort of glare and then said, “What did you do to him?”“I did nothing. Everyone here is my witness.”“Don’t tell me that. You are a fucking liar. If anything bad happens to Gideon, you will rot in jail.”“But he did nothing,” a man said.“Gideon kicked him down and he hasn’t even taken a step to fight,” another man said.“I’m sure this strange thing will still happen to him if they fight each other or not.”Gideon couldn’t endure as the pains increased. He ran to the car, but the door didn’t open.
Now Travis has the confidence to raise his chin while walking on the street. Looking into people's eyes doesn't even bother him anymore.He didn't stop the cab because he enjoyed walking slowly, with no intention of reaching home.Then a question came to his mind. What if the money disappeared?He should think of a way to transfer his money in the grand system to his bank account."Hello, golden system," Travis said in his mind, hoping to get an answer.[You have a trust issue]Travis felt shocked. He had forgotten the system could listen to his thoughts. He didn't reply since he had already disappointed the system.[Hold your breath for twenty seconds to stop me from listening to your thoughts]"My breath? You want me to die?"[I know your capacity][Henceforth, I will punish you if I find any thought that doesn't trust me in your mind]Travis had no choice. He took out his phone and set the stopwatch app. Then another word appeared before him.[Your lack of trust in me with your act
[I didn’t tell you to stand up]“I started trusting you,” Travis replied.[Don’t misunderstand me][If you have completed the primary mission, I would have rewarded you greatly][I can help you open the door and make you run faster to avoid any punishment from these people]Travis ignored the grand system as if it was a wrong number, and remained standing with his arm raised till everyone noticed him.Everyone laughed except for the auctioneer who folded his arms, and said, “You don’t need to ask for permission before going out.”“I stood because I want to pay $3,000,000,000,” Travis said, not minding the speed of his chest-beating. Even if the golden system failed him, he would still trust it.“Can you afford that?”“Yes,” Travis said, nodding.“Anyone else?” The auctioneer asked. He didn’t believe Travis, but he saw this as an opportunity for another person to increase the price.“Of course.” A fat man rose. “$5,000,000,000.”“6,000,000,000,” Travis snapped back.The fat man smirked
CEO Douglass motioned Travis to enter his office and told the auctioneer to bring coffee“I’m so honored to receive you to my office,” he said as they sat.“Thank you,” Travis said“This is my business card. Can I know where you are living?”“I rented a house.”“You rented a house? Wow! You are a rare being. You have a lot of money and didn’t show off. It isn't easy to live like that.”“It’s not that hard. Somehow, I just wanted to know how living poorly would feel like, but now after working as a delivery boy for six years, had experienced what money can’t buy.”“Wow! But you can’t take that car to that house because of low security. This is the right time to go back to your mansion.”“I don’t have a house. I have already sold it.”The CEO widened his eyes. “You are an unpredictable person. Would you like to meet my business partner, who is a real estate?”“Sure!”He dialed someone's number and asked him to come within thirty minutes.The auctioneer entered with two cups of coffee. “
