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!"As soon as Andrew uttered the words, they all launched into a simultaneous attack, exchanging blows in rapid succession. Andrew anticipated the second attacker's punch and swiftly dodged it.There was no respite for Andrew as the fourth assailant quickly followed suit. One of them somersaulted through the air, aiming to deliver a precise strike to Andrew's head. However, Andrew, amidst countering the other opponents, skillfully rotated backward, deftly evading their blows. 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. With seemingly effortless strength, he held the man, who easily weighed over 500 pounds, suspended in the air with just one hand. Andrew then effortlessly hurled him backwards, causing him to land with a thud, as if he were nothing more than discarded waste.This unexpected feat momentarily froze the remaining attackers in their tracks. They were at a loss for what to do
Andrew walked into the mall, greeted by an open space with stores lined up opposite each other. There was an excavator positioned in the right-hand corner of the entrance, leading to the upper floor.This was Andrew's first visit to the mall. 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. He scanned the area, looking left and right until he spotted a store selling men's clothes in the distance.He moved closer to the
Andrew had finished getting dressed, and he noticed that the outfit Hannah had chosen fit him perfectly. Thanks to her, he might finally be developing a sense of fashion."I had no idea he could look this good," Hannah's friends exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the transformed Andrew. 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. He's trying to show off in front of you," Nissan laughed,
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. Alexander Everest, you have won the bid. Congratulations and you are
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? I'm coming, just wait for
Andrew inflicted enough pain on Lex that he would think twice before attempting such actions again. With a firm grip on Lex, Andrew finally released him, allowing him to angrily swing open his car door and step out.Lex wanted to confront Andrew for his actions, but the presence of his girlfriend deterred him. He couldn't bear the thought of Andrew humiliating him in front of her, so he swallowed his anger and chose to remain use a different manner of approach.Face-to-face, he decided to insult him at least this would compensate for the pain he just received "You're nothing but a poor thief! Don't come here boasting about your apartment when you're just a good-for-nothing show-off!" he spat, aiming for Andrew's chest. However, Andrew merely smirked and skillfully dodged Lex's attempt to strike him."Hahaha! Look who's talking. Can't keep your composure, can you?" Andrew retorted, laughing at Lex's futile outburst.*Grrrrrrh!*Just then, Andrew's phone began to ring, vibrating in his
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
Andrew was dressed in a expensive suit as he stood with Hannah by his side. Hannah looked as stunning as ever, her slender figure accentuated by in a dark blue gown. The two exchanged a warm glance, their lively expressions reflecting the pleasant memories of the splendid evening they had shared the night before.Andrew stood near the side of the podium, positioned in the background where presenters typically made their entrances.From his vantage point, he could see the venue was filled to capacity. To his astonishment, every attendee was of considerable influence—representatives of powerful business empires. The gathering had created quite an uproar in town, drawing significant attention.Paparazzi and journalists had swarmed the location earlier, but Andrew had taken precautions to ensure the exclusivity of the event.He had included specific instructions in the invitations requiring all attendees to wear masks. This measure was implemented not only to preserve anonymity but also
Zoro exchanged glances between his girlfriend and Andrew, noticing the intensity in Andrew’s eyes. It was clear that Andrew wasn’t joking.Zoro had never been in a situation like this before, and the atmosphere alone told him that Andrew was someone to be feared."Do you even know who I am right now?" Andrew asked, his voice cold and commanding as he noticed Zoro’s hesitation."You should know," Andrew continued, leaning forward, "I’m not just Andrew—I’m also the underground boss of the Crimson Gang. You’d better think twice before messing with me."As if to punctuate his words, Andrew stood up and stomped hard on Zoro’s foot, causing him to wince in pain."I knew it," Andrew said, smirking as he observed Zoro’s face. "You’re useless to me. But now I also know the truth."Andrew had a talent for reading people, and Zoro’s reaction confirmed his suspicions. Without hesitation, Andrew twisted Zoro’s wrist sharply, causing a loud crack."Aahhh!" Zoro screamed, his face contorted in agony
Zoro observed the precision in Hannah's attacks; they were the moves of a professional fighter. No one had told him that Hannah knew martial arts. While it might have been true in the past, she certainly wasn’t known as a championship holder.Zoro hadn’t anticipated the fight would be this difficult. If he had known, he would have charged double for the job.He briefly considered taking the money and walking away, but his reputation meant everything to him. Backing out of the fight with Andrew would be a devastating blow to his pride, something he couldn’t afford to let happen.“We’ve wasted enough time talking! To hell with this—it's getting boring,” Andrew said sharply, a hint of a smirk on his face. “I’ll take care of you, and my girlfriend can handle yours. Then we’ll be good to go.”Without giving Zoro a chance to calculate his next move, Andrew sprang into action, rushing forward with blistering speed.Andrew darted forward with blinding speed, his fist aiming straight for Zoro'
Andrew had just finished setting up the auction house and was leaving with Hannah, who had been working alongside him all day. It was already 11 p.m., a testament to how hard they had both worked, despite Andrew being the boss.“Hannah, thanks for your help,” Andrew said with a warm smile. She had been incredibly supportive, and despite the argument they’d had earlier, they managed to keep their personal issues separate from their work. After all, she was not only his girlfriend but also his manager.“You don’t have to thank me. Are you forgetting I’m your employee?” Hannah replied with a smile, casually glancing at him as they walked together.“Why wouldn’t I appreciate my girlfriend?” Andrew teased.Hearing that, Hannah’s heart swelled with happiness, and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. Before she could respond, the sound of a gunshot tore through the air.“Hannah, watch out!” Andrew shouted, his instincts kicking in as he grabbed her by the waist. He dove to the ground, rolling
One Week Later"I never expected your son-in-law to be this capable. I don’t think any young man his age could rival him," said a man in his fifties, holding a glass of wine. He took a sip as he turned to Mr. Telsa, Hannah’s father. They were enjoying drinks along with a few other friends."Hahaha! You flatter me, Henry. The boy is truly remarkable. Did I tell you he once helped a friend of mine win a major tournament? He also trained my daughter, who had no martial arts experience, turning her from a complete novice into a professional fighter capable of rivaling seasoned competitors. He’s someone who can’t be rivaled," Mr. Telsa said, proudly boasting about Andrew, Hannah’s boyfriend."You’ll surely be a proud grandfather soon," Martins, another man at the table, chimed in as he raised his glass. "I hope you can introduce me to one of Andrew’s friends. Even someone with half of his capability would be a blessing!" Martins was subtly trying to gain favor with Mr. Telsa."I’ll see wha
Andrew had just finished watching the scientists demonstrate their latest creation when they approached him for his opinion."Sir, do they fit your expectations?" one of the doctors asked."Yes, they’re perfectly fine. We’ll begin the auction next week," Andrew said, smiling confidently. "Keep refining them, and I’d like you to reach out to potential high-profile buyers."Andrew shook hands with the doctors, commending them for their hard work."Now, the advertisements for the discounts will naturally draw a large crowd to the mall. I’ll use that as the perfect platform to set the stage for the auction," Andrew thought to himself.As he stepped out of the laboratory, he was greeted by the sight of a massive crowd standing in line outside the mall. The reason? Andrew had slashed the prices of every item by 80%, effectively making them as affordable as giving them away for free. Unsurprisingly, the incredible discounts had attracted hordes of people."The first phase of the plan is work
"Are you really the boss of Urban Oasis?" Nathan asked, with disbelief. He wanted to hear the truth directly from Andrew."Of course I am, and I don’t recall being friends with a pauper like you," Andrew replied with a calm smile as he stared at Nathan and his girlfriend."If you’ll excuse me, I have important work to do and no time to waste. I’m a very busy man," Andrew added, turning away. Before leaving, he whispered something to Sean.Nathan, still in denial, shouted after him, "Liar! You can’t be the boss. I don’t believe it! This must be some sort of joke. And frankly, I don’t need Urban Oasis—I can get a brand ambassador deal elsewhere, at a much better place than this dump!" His arrogance was unshaken, as if he didn’t care about the consequences of his words."Honey, don’t worry about them. One day, they’ll come begging you," his girlfriend said, trying to console him.Andrew, though irritated by their arrogance, wasn’t interested in wasting his energy on someone like Nathan.
One month later…Andrew stood in front of the shopping mall, observing the bustling crowd moving in and out. The mall was a thriving business venture, bringing in significant profits, and on top of that, he was reaping the benefits of the mines he had recently acquired.Leaning against a Porsche parked near his car, Andrew’s thoughts drifted to his past. He remembered the difficult days when he and his mother could barely afford three square meals. They had worked countless night shifts just to pay the bills, yet it was never enough.Now, in just three months, his life had transformed in ways he never imagined. He had risen to heights he once thought impossible. At such a young age, he was already a billionaire, possibly the youngest in the world. His numerous businesses generated substantial income daily, and he was about to embark on a project that would eclipse them all."Sean, are the devices ready?" Andrew asked as he made a call to his trusted assistant."Yes, sir. They’ve been
Andrew stood at the site, admiring the three-story mall that now stood in stark contrast to the abandoned structure that had previously occupied the space. The transformation was extraordinary, and Andrew couldn’t help but marvel at the sleek, modern design of the new building.Sean, who had just stepped out from inside the mall, noticed Andrew’s admiring gaze and walked over to greet him."Apologies for keeping you waiting," Andrew said, bowing his head slightly, a hint of embarrassment in his tone. "You know how women can be; Hannah insisted I get a whole new set of clothes and rejected half of them before she was satisfied. It took me over an hour to finish up."Sean chuckled knowingly. "I completely understand, sir. My wife puts me through the same routine. It’s practically universal."Andrew sighed, then turned back to the building. "I have to say, you and the team did an exceptional job. I didn’t expect you to transform the place this quickly—just one month, and it looks brand n
