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
By now, Julius had arrived at Milano's previous place. He could see that Milano was in a terrible state. The man was bleeding from his mouth. His face was getting paler, and his body was shaking violently. At first glance, there seemed to be no hope for the old man. It looked like he was on the verge of being unable to be saved anymore.Julius quickly approached and checked Milano's heartbeat and airway with his hands. The man's breathing was getting heavier, and it was evident that Milano was close to losing his life. His pulse was also weakening when Julius called his name and patted his cheek. The man no longer responded.As Julius began his first aid, he could see many people gathered to see what he would do. They were looking from a reasonably close distance and were huddled together as if they didn't want to miss any of the help Julius was about to give. Many of them whispered to each other, even taking out their cameras to record the event. Honestly, it's very uncomfortable whe
Julius had gotten off the plane and was now walking alone in the vast airport. He was wearing sunglasses to protect his eyes from the scorching sun. But- suddenly, someone called out to him from behind, "Sir! Sir! Wait!"Julius didn't think it was him until a woman pulled his arm and made him turn around. It turned out to be Anna, the woman he had helped on the plane for the life of his grandfather, who had a heart attack. She was panting so hard that she was holding her knees with one hand. And when she looked up, she took a deep breath and looked at Julius, "Sir, thank you so much for your help. I really don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been there."Julius gave a small nod, he saw the woman looking at her watch again. She seemed to be in a hurry. And sure enough, the woman then went on to say, "I will definitely repay your help later. But for now, I'll take Grandfather to the hospital first." The woman then gave him her business card and quickly left Julius' presenc
