I can't wait to indulge in all of this," Andrew remarked with a smile as he strolled along the desolate pavement.He was on his way home, which was nearby, when a group of individuals encircled him. Adjusting his glasses, Andrew peered up and down to ensure his vision wasn't failing him, only to realize that indeed, it was a band of men dressed in black who had surrounded him. They were not just any men; they were imposing figures, their faces bearing the marks of rigorous training."What do you want from me?" Andrew took a step back, already formulating his next move. Though the streetlights illuminated the scene, their faces remained obscured by shadows.Their collective gaze fixated on his finger, and as Andrew followed their line of sight, he immediately grasped the situation."Hand over the ring, or you'll regret what happens next," one of the men in black demanded, closing in on Andrew."You must be mistaken... I have no idea what you're talking about," Andrew feigned ignorance."You think you can defy us?" The man advanced menacingly, preparing to seize Andrew by the neck. However, to his astonishment, Andrew swiftly intercepted, seizing the man's hand and twisting his finger backward.Despite the vast discrepancy in size, Andrew held firm, even adjusting his glasses with a casual demeanor. "Do you honestly believe you can intimidate me?" Andrew's smile never wavered as he continued to exert pressure on the man's finger."What are you all waiting for? Take action!" The man, feeling intense pressure from Andrew, commanded the others to act.They all shifted into different positions, moving in a coordinated manner as they prepared to strike. There were a total of four men, in addition to the man Andrew had immobilized.Using his rubber bag containing all his precious food as both a shield and a weapon, Andrew strategically baited the first assailant. As the second attacker lunged forward with a punch aimed at the first man's stomach, Andrew deftly maneuvered, utilizing the bag to deflect the blow.With a swift twist of his body, Andrew redirected the force of the punch, causing it to land squarely on the first assailant instead. The impact sent the man reeling backward, crashing into a nearby trash can, while Andrew's bag of food remained securely in his grasp, untouched by the chaos unfolding around him."Who would have thought that you guys would end up fighting amongst yourselves?" Andrew remarked casually, his confidence unwavering as he dusted off his hands, the contents of his bag still intact."Now, all of you come at once!"

In a remarkable display of agility, he used one hand to catch the airborne attacker's legs.The next move Andrew executed left everyone astounded.

Previously, all he could do was admire it from a distance, knowing that he couldn't afford anything sold there.But today was different. He moved with a sense of pride, as if he were the owner of the entire mall.Andrew headed towards the excavator, which would take him directly to the second floor since it seemed like the ground floor was mainly for groceries.As he held onto the moving stairs, Andrew was initially taken aback by the pressure from the excavator's motion. However, he quickly regained his balance, determined not to become the laughing stock of everyone present.Finally, Andrew reached the second floor.

It seemed he wasn't as unappealing as they had previously thought.Hannah had picked out all the clothes for Andrew, and as she stood up from the cushion she had been sitting on, ready to pay for everything, Andrew gently held her hands, stopping her in her tracks."Thank you for your kindness, but I can handle the bills myself," Andrew said, flashing her a grateful smile.Hannah didn't want to underestimate Andrew's financial situation, but she couldn't help but think he was still struggling financially. "You may not realize how much all these clothes are worth," she said, trying not to make him feel bad."Trash pretending to be wealthy... Haha.

Andrew stood outside the store, preparing to head home, when Hannah rushed out to meet him, seeking to apologize for her previous behavior."Andrew, wait up!" Hannah called out.Andrew wasn't in the mood, knowing that Hannah would bombard him with numerous questions."I'm sorry for how rudely I behaved earlier. Please disregard my attitude," Hannah earnestly attempted to clarify herself."It's alright, there's no need to apologize. You didn't say anything wrong. However, I must be on my way now. I have other things to attend to," Andrew finally interjected, wanting to distance himself from Hannah, especially considering she had a boyfriend.Hannah couldn't quite comprehend why he was avoiding her. "That's alright. I'll give you a call later," she said with a smile, waving him goodbye.Andrew was taken aback since he hadn't given Hannah his number, yet she confidently asserted that she would call him. Nevertheless, he didn't dwell on it, attributing it to her own reasoning."She probab

"Forty million," Andrew muttered to himself, he knew that he couldn't win the bid with that amount. "That's a good start, but I can go much higher." Andrew tapped the amount section and impulsively placed a bid of $60 million without much consideration. "There, that should do it. Over $60 million transferred and ready to secure the Emerald Crest," he said quietly, his face filled with determination. Meanwhile, Damian still bid the official amount, Damian thought to himself. "That loser just seems to be bragging he can never afford even 40 million dollars, so there is no need for me to waste my time in placing a higher bet. This property is mine," Damian smiled as he looked at Andrew. Just then, Evelyn emerged from her office and announced, "The bidding has been placed, and we officially have a winner." Damian eagerly anticipated hearing his own name, but to his astonishment, the outcome was quite the opposite. "Mr. Andrew Everest, you have won the bid. Congratulations and yo

Andrew waved his hands to bid them farewell, but his gestures were indirectly insults. The girls remained outside, confronting the security guards."Do you even know who my boyfriend is? He lives here, and if he finds out you treated me this way, I assure you, your jobs will be on the line. Are you seriously telling me I can't enter?" Melanie, the owner of the Lamborghini, exclaimed angrily."We follow the rules, and if you truly are who you claim to be, why don't you call him over, ma'am? This is a peaceful neighborhood. Instead of getting worked up, let's have a civil conversation," one of guard advised, trying to diffuse the tension."Melanie, just give him a call," Trisha, her friend, urged, giving her a reassuring pat on the back.Melanie let out a frustrated sigh. She dialed her boyfriend's number, hoping for a resolution."Hey, honey, I've been here for a while, and they won't let me in," she sobbed into the phone."Who the heck refused to let you in?

The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Did I Make A Wrong Decision?
It was the beginning of a new week, precisely Monday, marking the start of the workweek. Andrew was determined that this would be the week he would seize full control as the CEO of Stellarite Resources. It was hard to fathom that at such a young age, barely in his twenties, he was about to assume such a prestigious role.This achievement would undoubtedly be one of his greatest accomplishments, especially considering he was now a billionaire in his own right. Andrew had been granted a semester suspension, providing him with the freedom to do as he pleased during this period, and he was determined to utilize it wisely.Rising from his spacious king-sized bed, Andrew stretched his limbs. It had been quite some time since he had enjoyed such a restful night's sleep, and he felt remarkably rejuvenated, as if he were capable of anything."I need to hurry!" he exclaimed, quickly getting out of bed and rushing to the bathroom to freshen up. Andrew was well-prepared, opting for a casual outfi

AshBlood
In Iceland, deep within the frozen North, the Vatnajökull glacier cracked apart like a shattered mirror. Great jagged faults split the ice, The sky above churned, thick clouds swirling in unnatural patterns, forming a spiral no meteorologist could explain.Thousands of miles away in India, monsoon rains poured from a clear blue sky, flooding villages not in July, but in early spring.And in Chile, at the base of the old volcanoes near Atacama, molten cracks spiderwebbed across parched ground. The mountains growled, as if waking from millennia of sleep.In each place, small groups gathered. Hidden sects. The descendants of those who had always known this day would come.They knelt on stone floors or in ice caves, chanting in languages the modern world had forgotten. Their words filled the air like smoke, thick with reverence and terror alike.One word repeated across continents, whispered by many mouths:"Ashblood..."The Return of the Ashblood had begun.Inside the the safe house in S
World Transformation
The television buzzed softly in the dimly lit room, as Hannah’s was resting on the med bed, thin blankets pulled around her, one hand absentmindedly resting on her stomach. Her other hand held the small remote loosely. Her body still weak, but her mind sharp.The news anchor’s voice could be heard,“We warn our viewers, what you are about to see contains graphic imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.” The broadcast switched to shaky, handheld footage.Smoke.Screams.The camera jerked wildly as someone sprinted across a downtown street — others running behind him, scattering like ants."They're burning alive!" a woman shrieked off-camera.The footage cut to a clearer angle. A man stood in the middle of a parking lot, convulsing violently. His body shimmered as if his skin couldn't contain him.Then —with a horrible, wet pop — flames erupted from his chest, swallowing him and the nearby cars.He staggered backward, mouth open in a silent scream as his body burned from within."Help me!

Hannah stood just a few feet away from Andrew, wearing a dark hoodie and loose pants, her hair pulled back. Her face was pale, framed by exhaustion and the remnants of too many sleepless nights.She had purposely walked back and forth past the metal bench where Andrew was sitting, but he didn’t acknowledge her.After what seemed like the fifth pass, she was fed up with his silence and walked up to him.“You’ve been sitting out here since morning.”“Where else should I be?" Andrew said quietly.She exhaled, arms tightening across her chest. “You could’ve come to me.”His voice cracked. “I didn’t think I had the right.”She blinked. The silence stretched long between them. Then she stepped forward and sat beside him.“I hated you,” she admitted. “Not for leaving. For letting me believe you stopped caring.”“I never stopped.”Her head turned slightly toward him. “You were protecting me. Even when you were gone. Weren’t you?”Andrew nodded once. “I didn’t know what they’d do. I just knew
