"I will see you guys later. Thanks for coming earlier." I told Cole and his men cryptically who nodded, before bowing."You are welcome, young master." They chorused.I felt weirded out because I wasn't used to something like this but understood that it was their way of life."Tell him I said thank you," I replied again cryptically hoping that Josh didn't decipher it."We will... If you need anything else, please do not hesitate to call us." Cole spoke.I nodded curtly, watching as they entered into their cars and drove off.A hand tapped on mine aggressi
I quickly performed a head count as the men alighted from their cars. Twelve solid men in powerful suits, looking every inch as powerful as they should.A man stepped forward out of the dozen and headed towards me.He was intercepted by the leader of the gang and his henchmen. "Good..." The leader trailed off when he saw their faces grow grim.The group moved past the leader and his gang towards me and bowed as soon as they got close. "Young master." They chorused."Is this the guy who offended you?" I could see the perplexed look on the leader's face, and there was nothing wrong with him."I am sorry," the leader quickly apolo
The leader threw his head back and laughed, "You think this is funny? Do you even know how much he owes me?""I'm guessing he hasn't filled you in, which is why you think you can help him out. It's pretty laughable to think someone like you could actually do anything for your friend in this situation." His tone was serious now, and the grin vanished as he shot me a fierce look.I stood my ground, legs firmly planted, ready to face whatever they wanted to throw at me.Josh had done too much for me to let anyone disrespect him like that.I crossed my arms and waited for them to finish. "Are you done yet?" I asked, brushing off the gentle pull from my friend who was probably worried about me getting
"You must be kidding me," Josh exclaimed, his mouth falling open the moment we arrived in front of the Danish restaurant. The best in town. I was expecting this reaction from him because I wouldn't also believe it if I didn't know how much I possessed in my account. I still had a total of 980 million dollars untouched so I was very confident in my abilities. They deserved everything and more. Josh had rallied around to help me in my downtime without asking for a refund. Even my grandmother had combed everything she had to help me. "Are you sure you will be able to afford even the smallest plate of food?" He inquired from me and I kept on chuckling. "Are you sure you didn't get involved in money laundering or something illegal? This is unreal. We cannot afford the hefty prices attached to these meals. Let's just go back before we get disgraced. It wouldn't make any sense if that happened to us now, would it?" He inquired with a whisper, concerns stretching across his face as he tri
"Strip!""Strip!""You wouldn't believe this! The views are climbing massively!" One girl yelled, distracting everyone. Another girl closed a palm over her lips. "My goodness! It's almost 20 million, in just five minutes. We are trending again!" She yelled."The site is about to crash from the traffic!" Another girl yelled, making me smile softly. This was the best way to go. He needed to be taught a lesson.The hall was plunged into disarray, making me smile inwardly as Mikky's cheeks blazed with embarrassment. "Y’all should stop shouting!" He yelled with all his might but the students were in a frenzy. Their energy was crazy.I raised a finger, silencing the "Do the needful and strip." I ordered and he moved away. "You can't force me to do something I don't want to do!" Mikky yelled. "Oh, but you have no choice, Master Mikky. You were aware of the consequences of your bargain. You made the call, so dance to it." The principal interrupted, making me smile softly. Mikky's face b
"What if Jordan actually made that payment?""Yeah, I agree. Didn't you notice the principal's reaction? I think he's going to address it.""No way, he couldn't possibly pull that off. Look at his clothes—barely holding together.""How could he have been able to pull out such a huge amount of money?" Whispers broke out. "That can't be possible. He's the grandson of a janitor." Another person said."Well, he might have done something illegal to get such money. I hear that he's into drugs." A third person who I recognized as one of the quarterback's girlfriends spoke.All eyes were fixated on me as their speculations continued. I would never have imagined that a day would come when I would have to start defending myself from being able to do things myself.I had been ridiculed severally because of my poor status, now that it seemed like things were going well for me, they still had a problem with it."Why isn't he saying anything?" One of the girls asked incredulously.I moved away fro
The principal stood in front of me, bowing with a level of respect I had never experienced before. It was an odd feeling, not one of triumph or revenge, but something much more profound—a sense of quiet assurance.I noticed the crowd around us, watching in stunned silence as they took in the unexpected scene. I could tell they were still live streaming, judging by the comments flying in. “Why did the principal act like that?” “This is wild; I bet everyone in the city is tuning into this.”I stole a glance at the director, still holding his sore cheek, his expression a mix of shock and disbelief. The principal had just slapped him in front of the whole school.“Get this disgrace out of here,” he ordered, pointing at the guards. “And just so you know, you’re fired.” “Fired?” echoed the director along with a few others.The director attempted to reason with the principal, but the guards stepped in, dragging him out like a common criminal—just moments ago, they had been the ones res
The transfer went through, and I received a notification of the transaction—my balance was now $980,000,000. I smirked proudly. “Now, what do you have to say, Director?” I asked, turning to face him. He continued to stare at his phone, frozen in disbelief. I knew he had received the notification, but he wasn’t saying anything. He was just glaring at me and the phone, as if unable to process what had just happened.The silence was deafening. Mikky and Diana rushed over to him, their expressions shifting from smug confidence to shock as they saw the same thing on his screen. I could tell they had just received the shock of their lives.Everyone was waiting, holding their breath, for the director or Mikky to say something.Mikky whispered something inaudible to the director, who quickly adjusted his demeanor.“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Joker of the Year at Kingsford University,” the director announced, trying to mask his shock with a forced laugh.The crowd erupted in c
I stared at the screen, frozen in disbelief and shock. The words were clear, glaring at me like a cruel joke. How could this be? My grandfather wouldn’t lie to me—this card was real, wasn’t it? It has $1 Billion in it so why did my transfer fail?Before I could process what was happening, Mikky’s laughter exploded into the air, loud and obnoxious. He slapped his thigh, doubled over in amusement, while Diana clung to his arm, laughing right along with him."I knew it!" Mikky howled, pointing at me like I was the punchline to some cruel joke. "You really thought that card would work because it's flashy, didn’t you? What a loser!"Diana chimed in. "Honestly, Jordan, you shouldn’t have stoop this low. This is just embarrassing. Did you really think we’d fall for that little show?"“This is ridiculous, I thought for a second he had the $20 Million.”“Such a shameless pauper, he wasted our precious time.”“So unfortunate I staked a bet on you.”“Nothing good can come from an arrogant pauper
