Now, suddenly, Alfonzo stepped up to the podium. Everyone, of course, recognized who he was and immediately shouted with excitement, "Mr. Alfonzo! Our leader is here!" The cries of his supporters rang out loudly as everyone praised and applauded his name. Everyone knew how good the man was at business to become the revered man he is today. Alfonzo's wealth could not be counted on his fingers, making people respect him even more because he was powerful.Lalfonzo cleared his throat momentarily and made everyone fall silent in response. As for Julius, he was watching from near the veranda. Alfonzo stood at the podium with his grandson not far from him. Both seemed to sparkle from a distance with their aura.Alfonzo smiled a little, "Good evening, everyone! I hope you have a good time here," he greeted kindly. Everyone cheered in response to the man's brief greeting, never letting Alfonzo go without a warm greeting. A rich man is always a leader to many and an idol to those who want to cu
"I have to get the family treasure, no matter how," muttered one of the men who had been busy looking this way and that. He was wearing a dark-colored suit with half-wet combed hair, his eyes seemingly eager to find the object Alfonzo had mentioned. Whatever it was, he didn't want to be overtaken by others and accept defeat.Then, another man who was also busy searching said, "I'll raise my status if I can find that thing. When else can I get a great opportunity like this if not now?" His face looked a little panicked and rushed, not wanting to be overtaken by others or have his dreams of becoming a wealthy man buried.In contrast to the man wearing the green suit, he had a tall body with a slightly distended stomach in his mid-twenties. The man was sweating from being too excited, "No matter what, I have to get that thing. Miss Queen is lovely, and if not in an event like this, I might not have the chance to get it. Just looking at her makes me very happy. I must be the winner and ma
Now, the allotted time has expired. Everyone who initially seemed so enthusiastic now looked different. Many of them looked disappointed and discouraged, "I didn't find anything. Does the treasure really exist? Why didn't I find anything?"Another man with the same fate seemed to respond, "Does the treasure really exist? Because I didn't find anything either. There's not even a sign of it." He looked down sluggishly, his dream of marrying a beautiful woman who was the granddaughter of the wealthiest man in the country gone. Queenera's beautiful face would only be a figment of his imagination.However, another man wearing a black suit with a gold watch next to him said arrogantly, "I've found something delicious. I'm sure this must be this family's treasure." He laughed happily and looked at the man beside him arrogantly.The man's arrogant remark was, in fact, refuted by another man, "Don't be so confident, I've found an extraordinary object. I'm sure mine will be the winner. You will
"You can't be kidding! It's definitely not the treasure of the Jacob family!" Alvander screamed in a high voice. Not only him, but almost everyone there agreed with him. No one would accept Julius claiming such an object as the treasure of the wealthy Jacob family.Alvander then pointed at the object in Julius' hand with a displeased look, "It's just a painting, stop talking nonsense. Compared to that worthless painting, this jade is much more reasonable and valuable. You can't make this up!" he said, denying the item Julius was carrying.The man's words made many people think in the same direction. Suppose the jade brought by Alvander must be the real treasure. How much is a painting worth when compared to a dragon and star-shaped jade?Alfonzo smiled and got up from his chair. He strolled towards Julius and Alvander, who were still staring at each other. Then, the old man cleared his throat, "Yes, this young man is absolutely right. This painting is a valuable treasure for the Jacob
Upon hearing Julius' refusal, people began to squeal and call him many things. The men who had failed to get the chance to become Queenera's future husband were seen grumbling with wrinkles on their faces, "What an arrogant, ignorant man! How could he reject a woman as beautiful as Miss Queen!" His voice was booming, venting his regret to others instantly. He could not accept his defeat and cursed the lucky guy who got a woman as beautiful as Queenera but rejected her arrogantly and haughtily.The joke provoked other jokes. Like, "Even though everyone also knows that this bet is to get Miss Queen as a future wife, do you want to show off or be handsome with your mediocre face?" Insult after insult just kept coming out. If they all knew who Julius was, they would probably keep quiet and try to praise him and curry favor with him for the sake of his future business. But alas, the Julius they saw today was a Julius who didn't have much in his life.Julius only glanced briefly at the peop
After the party ended, people began to leave the building. The leading lights started to turn off slowly until some areas were dark with no lighting. The atmosphere was so quiet without a single person passing by, like when there was still a party. It seemed like the party-goers had lost their minds because of the fun Alfonzo had given them. Or perhaps they were lamenting the defeat and frustration that did not end as they had hoped.Julius, now in the park, was preparing to leave the area. But suddenly, someone pulled him back to his original spot. And when Julius turned around, he found Queenera, the granddaughter of Alfonzo Jacob, who was supposed to be his match tonight. She was wearing a black cardigan to cover her upper body. The air was colder now that the night was so late, and Queen felt she needed to cover herself from the piercing night wind. And now, there were only the two of them among the dim garden lights at night.The woman leaned back and looked at Julius with a rat
On another occasion, Julius had to board a commercial plane to travel abroad. Julius deliberately did not use his private jet, as it was too flashy and attention-grabbing. In this way, Julius would seem like an ordinary person and less suspicious to those around him. Julius' unrecognized status does not make him want to stand out from other businessmen.And this time, Julius boarded the plane with business class as his choice. The man closed his eyes to ease the jet lag. However, his tranquility was suddenly disturbed by the noise that filled the business class. The sound of excitement mixed with panic was heard from the back, quite far from where Julius was sitting.Julius then opened his eyes and looked back with a slightly disturbed face. He could see people whispering to each other with curious faces. When Julius found a flight attendant standing not far from him, the man immediately called out to him, "What's going on over there?" he asked directly.The flight attendant looked pa
Julius had already returned to his seat quietly. The man corrected his sitting position and leaned back to make himself comfortable. Just as Julius tried to close his eyes, the sound of a frightened commotion was heard from the back. And this time, the sound was even more boisterous with horrified whispers full of fear, especially when the tapping sound of shoes was swift, like someone running in a hurry.Julius was still in his position when the cries grew louder, "Help! Someone save my grandfather!" His voice sounded closer and closer to where Julius was currently sitting. And sure enough, before long, someone was running towards him in a panic.The woman, Anna, was crying and looking for where Julius was sitting. When she found Julius, she immediately begged him, "Sir, please help me. Please save my grandfather! He's vomiting blood right now!" she said with her hands clasped in front of her chest.Anna was crying loudly, and her body was shaking violently. Sweat was already pouring
