After two busy days, Tessa arrived at Blake's salon, only to find out from Carter that the person who styled her dad was none other than Jake.

To her added shock, she learned something else.

“He didn’t come to work after that?” Tessa was shocked.

Carter, however, wasn’t. “To be frank, if I received a 1 million dollar reward, I wouldn’t be coming to work, either.”

Tessa found herself biting her fingernail. “Jake Goodheart… What are you doing? If my brother finds you first, then you’re as good as dead!”

She called Delma’s mobile immediately.

“Hey, where are you right now? I need to talk to you about Jake,” Tessa said.

“Tell me,” Delma was panting.

“Are you running?”

“Yeah, running in the sand right now,” Delma said. “It’s hurting my knees and ankles so much. I can’t talk for long so make it quick.”

Tessa briefly explained what happened. “So, my brother is desperately looking for Jake. If he finds him, he’ll kill him without a second thought.”

    It’s been five days since Jake bought Better Biscuits.Only today, Jake finished the registration process, so he officially became the chairman and CEO of Better Biscuits.However, the employees were all afraid that they were going to lose their jobs.The manager asked Jake to throw a party to cool things down.Jake told him, “Do you want me to use my money to invest in the company, or for the welcome parties?”“Of course, for the former, sir.”“Good. But I do like parties,” Jake smiled. “Since I became the chairman, shouldn’t the employees be the ones who should hold a welcome party for me?”Manger William’s expression completely changed. “Y-You got a point, sir. But inflation is on rise these days. It will be difficult to make the employees donate money for a welcome party, I think.”“Tell them this then,” Jake said. “If the party satisfies me, I will not fire anybody for their past performances.”William was excited to hear that. “I think this could work, sir. You’re brilliant.”“H

    Jake was in the biscuit factory, sitting in his office chair, changing the channels because he was bored.Almost every news channel was talking about the fire devouring Reich town.“They are all showing the same footage again and again,” Jake thought. “It feels strange.”[They only show what they want the people to see.] The system said.“You think these fires are not natural?” Jake was surprised. “They are calculated attacks?”[Yeah, there is something strange about those fires. They don’t look natural. You are right to question the narrative.]“Reich town is way too far from here for us to do anything.” Jake said. “It’s more than 2000 miles away, isn’t it?”Just then, the gate guard entered the room after knocking the door twice. This guy was one of those Jake hired freshly after buying the company.He put an envelope on the table. “You received a post, sir.”“A post?” Jake quickly opened it.It was a letter from the Cavil insurance company. “They are canceling the fire insurance fo

    Lily, the second daughter of Benson, looked at Jake with a bit of a cold gaze. “What do you want?”Jake tossed the envelope on the desk. “Can you tell me what’s the deal with this?”The way he tossed the envelope bordered between anger and calmness.Lily opened it and checked the details. “Oh, so you’re the new chairman of Better Biscuits. That’s really unfortunate because your company lost fire insurance.”“Yeah, what fraud did the company do? Why don’t you tell me?” Jake asked.“I think you should ask the court about this,” Lily smiled, almost mockingly. “But let me save your time. The court wouldn’t support a million dollar company like it would support an insurance company that’s worth hundreds of billions. Heck, my company gives insurance to big lawyers, judges, and even the court buildings they work in every day.“So… you have no chance of winning. You should have never bought the company, but you can still find someone and sell it for a cheaper price. If you’re lucky, another i

    Flames were everywhere, not just in one corner.A few workers had rushed out, but some were still inside. Jake didn’t even hesitate to run into the factory, even though people advised him not to.They already called the fire engine, but it was yet to come.The flames were only growing bigger, and it didn’t look like something that one or two fire engines could take care of.Jake could see that different parts of the factor were being burnt, and it didn’t make sense to him.He saved one female worker who was too afraid to cross the flames and then asked her, “How did this happen?”But she was in too much of a shock to respond. He told her to go outside, and then he entered deeper into the factory.Jake didn’t realize it yet, but the flames that were supposed to burn were all fading away before they could touch him.Jake was able to help more people get out, and then he finally reached his office, which was already burned to dust.There were no flames there.However, he saw a person sti

    Jake was checking through the rest of the factory if anyone else other than the manager died or not.But he didn’t find any other corpse.While he was happy that he saved many people, he was also saddened by the fact that the person he had talked to most among the employees in the past five days died.Jake returned to the main office. He kept staring at the manager’s corpse. He didn’t know if he should move it outside or not.As he was hesitating, he suddenly looked around as the flames that were dying began to rise.“What the hell? Why are the flames rising?” Jake was startled, but then he felt a strong presence in the south, toward the backside of the factory.Since he got the soul shedding skill, he didn’t feel anything like this.And this was his first time feeling the soul energy coming from another person, as this was so concentrated.Without the system telling him, Jake knew that this person was bad news.Both of them walked toward each other, with Melvyn leaking out a hot aura

    In a park, a five-year-old girl was licking on a lollipop while walking with her young aunt.A lone strand of hair came drifting through the air and fell on her face.“Aunt, look. This hair is longer than yours.”“My hair isn’t growing as much because you always give me so much trouble!” the aunt, a pretty brunette, replied, pulling the little girl’s cheek.“Oh, so, the reason grandpa lost all his hair is because you troubled him so much?” the little girl innocently said, startling the aunt.The little girl’s focus soon shifted to the handsome young man sitting by the bench in the park. “Aunt, Aunt, look. Isn’t that the uncle from the missing poster?”The aunt immediately looked and didn’t take long to recognize that perfectly symmetric face from the poster with that vintage curtains hairstyle. When he flipped one side of his reddish golden hair, exposing the orange and yellow hues, the young aunt’s heart fluttered.“A-Aye, it really is him! H-He’s so hot!” She clutched her cheeks mom

She couldn’t believe what just happened.A fat woman dove from the sky and crushed her car and then took Jake away. Her car was worth about 30K, but she was paid 100K for it.And she also received a 1 million dollar reward right away.She didn’t think she’d receive the money so fast.But why didn’t she feel happy or thrilled?Was it because she saw how Jake was taken away? He didn’t seem happy at all.Just what happened in the past?Why was he running away?Anne had so many questions running through her mind.But more than anything else, one particular question dominated every other question.Did she ruin that young man’s life by giving away his location?“Aunt, let’s buy a million lollipops,” the little girl happily said when she had no idea just how big a number one million was.Anne rubbed the little girl’s head. “I will buy you as many as you want.” Even

    In the afternoon.Everyone was sitting at the grand dining table. There were many maids serving the food.Jake, however, didn’t touch the food.Delma glanced at her grandfather.“Ahem, your bank cards are now working,” Elmond said. “They won’t get frozen again.”“Huh, so I should get all happy now and eat?” Jake harrumphed.“Jake, I apologize in my grandpa’s stead,” Delma frankly said while looking at him.After her open apology, Jake’s anger melted and his hunger dominated his other feelings. He started eating all the dishes served on his plate to quench the hunger of four days.“Isn’t Delma so wonderful?” Jake’s mother, Felicia, whispered in his ear.“Mom,” Jake whispered back. “Even the maids look fit. But look at Delma. She has three chins. How can I marry her? Her health must be a mess. I don’t think she’s even capable of getting pregnant. If she’s like this, imagine how she’ll be five years down the line. She will make me pass out with her fart alone.”Felicia was just forcing h

    Melvyn went home.He was living in a 6o-floored tower, with a castle built on the top floor, which had an open pool, tennis court, organic garden, and much more facilities all around the castle.It was called the Sky Castle because the castle was in the sky, looking down on the rest of the city.Benson and his five daughters were all sitting at the dining table, waiting for Melvyn to join them.“Dad, since you love the haircut you got at my company,” Tessa was speaking excitedly, “why don’t you also reward me? I’m sure you paid the stylist, so you should reward me as well.”“Haha,” Benson laughed a little. “Alright. Ask away. What do you want?”“How about we go on a trip together?” Tessa asked.Her sisters laughed at it. “Dad gave you a big offer, and you want to squander it by just going on a trip with him?”“Or are you planning on revealing your real agenda during the trip?”Just then, Melvyn entered the hall.Seeing Benson’s new hairstyle, Melvyn smiled pleasantly. “My sisters were

    Jake didn’t rush with buying the company even though the old couple rushed him.He toured throughout the factory and saw how things were happening. There were too many issues from hygiene to quality control.“How did you guys even get the approval to keep this factory running?” Jake asked them.“Our factory is much cleaner compared to other biscuit factories,” the old couple backed themselves.Jake shook his head. “I can’t buy this for 600K. 500K is the best I can give.”“500K is a little too low. How about 550K?” the old husband asked. His wife didn’t like it at first, but he convinced her.Jake thought about it. “Fine.”After that, Jake signed the deal. He wrote a check for 550K and handed it to the old couple.This was his first check.He never thought he’d ever use a check in his life, much less buy a company with his first check!Naturally, Jake was very happy.The old couple introduced Jake to the manager.“Hello, sir. My name is William,” the manager introduced himself.“I’ll g

There’s no point in talking anymore,” Melvyn turned around and walked away.Something fell on his head.He stopped and touched his hair. There was a spider web in it.His face stiffened for a second.He angrily looked up. The ceiling was full of cobwebs. He turned around and looked at the chairman. “Who’s the cleaner of this place?”“It’s me, sir,” a man in his forties rushed over to Melvyn.Melvyn immediately slapped that man with the back of his hand.The cleaner spun twice and hit a machine and collaps
