The Legendary Hairfall System CHAPTER 55
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
The Legendary Hairfall System CHAPTER 56
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

Jake became a crystalline statue.Just then, Delma and Drake, the chief captain of Hamilton’s forces, arrived there through the back entrance.“Oh, no,” Drake frowned. “We were a step late.”Seeing Jake’s statue, the veins in Delma’s neck bulged. “Melvyn…” she leaped forth.“Don’t, Delma! That fog is dangerous even for you!” Drake shouted.“I’ll kill you right here and now!” Delma threw a punch at the fog. The sheer air pressure from her punch blew the fog away in different directions.But the thought of Jake shattering away from the collateral damage made her suddenly stop.She grabbed Jake’s body and threw it toward Drake. “Take him to the mansion and get him treated!”“Can he still be saved?” Drake wasn’t sure because Jake looked like a crystal statue now.Delma threw a punch down at Melvyn’s chest, but he caught her fist before it hit him. His other hand was covering his face.“Go away, Delma. I don’t want you to see me like this,” Melvyn said. “I don’t want to see myself like thi

Melvyn came to the sky castle wearing a hood that covered the top half of his face.The head butler immediately knew something was wrong, so he didn’t dare approach Melvyn.One maid carelessly approached Melvyn, “Young Master, you forgot to take your mobile.”She was handing him a mobile, but he slapped her with the back of his hand without even looking at her.Her head turned 180 degrees.She died instantly.Melvyn entered the castle in a hurry, not wanting to talk to anyone right now. He just rushed into his room and locked the door.He stood in front of the mirror and pulled the hood down, which revealed his face which looked comedic now.It felt strange because he was a supremely handsome fellow, but with just his hairs gone, he looked like a joker now.For someone who had cared about every single hair on his head, losing all the hair was a big blow to his ego, confidence, and overall mental health.Unable to look at himself in the mirror, he punched and destroyed it. “I can’t bea

In the right wing of the hamilton’s mansion, the lead doctor and the scientist of the Hamiltons put Jake in a cylindrical vessel full of translucent liquid that bubbled and melted the black scales on his body.“Will he live?” Drake asked.“It’s a miracle that he isn’t already dead,” the doctor replied. “Nothing is guaranteed until he opens his eyes.”“Is that so?” Drake felt a bit down. “If we had reached there a little early, we could have saved him.”“Don’t worry about the past but plan for the future,” Elmond said. “Tighten the security around the mansion, even if it means we have to hire outside forces.”“You think Melvyn will attack this mansion?” Drake wondered. “If he fails, he loses everything. I don’t think he will take that big of a gamble. Unless he’s sure of his victory, he will not attack. Otherwise, he should have attacked us long ago.”At that time, Delma entered the chamber and looked at the glass vessel in which Jake was there.“How’s he doing?” Delma asked.“Nothing

Jake’s sister, Prisha, was laughing so hard it sounded like she was snorting.The popcorn fell from the bucket.“I expected this much, but I didn’t think she’d outright lie to get rid of you before your relationship even started,” Prisha wiped the tears from her eyes. “Oh, man. I haven’t laughed this much in a long time.”Davis appeared visibly embarrassed. “Am I not good-looking enough?”“Well, looks alone aren’t enough for some women,” Prisha said. “You should first know her preferences before you approach her. Otherwise, you’d make a fool of yourself. ‘I’m sorry. I have a boyfriend.’ Haha, it’s funny no matter how many times I see women rejecting men with that move.”“Huh, what’s so funny about it?” Davis felt annoyed.“Obviously, she was lying.”“What?” Davis was startled. “You think so?”“Of course. She didn’t even ask you why you called. She assumed it, and then cut you off,” Prisha opined. “She didn’t treat you badly but treated you indifferently. That’s a common approach we us

Later that night.Delma finished her talks with a few people from the Aeson family.They came to an agreement and then took the Bouquet System from the repository.The bouquet system was capable of giving skills related to flowers and herbs, which would help them in cultivation, extraction of scents and do much more beneficial things.“After one decade, you will bring the system back to the Hamilton family,” Delma told them. “That’s the agreement. Don’t forget it.”“Of course. We, the Aeson family, never break our contracts,” they replied and then got to work.They started treating Jake, using their healing skills, which helped them remove the crystalline shell that covered Jake.However, in this process, Jake lost his skin completely.He looked like lab material that was completely skinned.Delma was finding it hard to watch, but she didn’t close her eyes or look away.The whole process took three hours, and Delma was there throughout.“Jake didn’t get his consciousness back. When wi

The Loverace restaurant was known for dating among youngsters, especially because it would check through the identity of the lovers and only allows them dates if they have never dated anyone else at that restaurant before.So, everyone dating in this restaurant was guaranteed to have never dated others in that same restaurant before.This may be a small gesture, but this was well received by the society, so Loverace restaurant blossomed over the years.Currently, Davis had been sitting here for over an hour.He had already ordered the items but told the waiter to wait until his date arrived. He already paid the bill for the items he ordered, so the manager didn’t mind even if Davis was just sitting at the table.It might have been an issue if Davis was ugly, but Davis was a handsome man. So, the manager didn’t mind it.“Is she really not going to come?” Davis felt down.Just as he was telling the waiter to pack the items he ordered, Tessa entered the restaurant, wearing her business s

At a remote island a few hundred miles away from Salem city.Delma arrived in a helicopter, driving it herself. She jumped out through the front glass and came dashing through the sky like a hawk descending from heaven.As the helicopter crashed and exploded in the background, Delma landed on the rocky ground where Trisha was sitting on a boulder and polishing her nails.Behind her, both Davis and Tessa were tied up together in metal chains. Both of them were badly wounded, and they weren’t conscious, either.“How could you do that to your own sister?” Delma’s jaw hardened.“What are you saying? She pointed her finger at her own sister for the sake of a toad,” Trisha indifferently said. “If I don’t discipline her well now, she will only get worse in time, don’t you think?”Delma didn’t say anything.Trisha clapped twice.Two of her bodyguards rushed over.“Take those two and go to the Blake mansion,” she told them, and they obliged.As the guards took Davis and Tessa away, Delma didn’
CHAPTER 89
Tessa was driving around Salem city aimlessly with Davis sitting next to her.“You are the second guy to sit in that seat,” she said.“That’s…” Davis wasn’t sure what to say. “I feel honored, but I hope your brother won’t be upset with me.”“Don’t get ahead of yourself. I never said I’d introduce you to my brother,” Tessa snorted. “Firstly, you should get a proper haircut. Then, you should look competitive.Do something that makes you stand out.”“Like what?”“I don’t know. Appear on the Forbes front page or something?”“W-What?” Davis’ jaw dropped.“If you can’t even do that much, you think you’re qualified to become a son-in-law of the Blake family?” Tessa snorted even loudly this time. “All our son-in-laws are from prestigious, billionaire families. I don’t want my husband to look cheap and dull before them. So, figure it out yourself.”“H-How can I appear on Forbes?” Davis looked utterly baffled. “I didn’t even appear on my school’s notice board before.”Tessa spared him a cold gla

Tessa took the kite that Davis had made for her, but she ended up losing in the kite competition with Delma.So, she scolded Davis, saying, “I lost because of your kite!”However, Elmond intervened and said, “You lost because your skill was lacking compared to Delma’s. I made the kite for Delma, so I know that the difference was less in the kites and more in the ones flying those kites.”“Grandpa, you are kidding, right?” Tessa snorted.“Yes, sir. The fault was with me,” Davis supported her.Elmond sighed and shook his head. “Women these days go for the swan walk and end up losing the crow-walk they’re born with. Men also lose their masculinity by sucking up to women. It is so shameful to watch.” Saying that he walked away.“Don’t mind his words,” Delma told them. “He’s just a bit frustrated because he lost in a fight with Jake last evening.”“Fight? What fight?” Davis quickly asked.“They were trying to see who can eat more sweet buns,” Delma replied, “and my grandfather lost.”“Oh…”
CHAPTER 87
Tessa arrived at the Hamilton mansion that morning.Instead of stopping the car in the front yard, she went round the mansion so that she could enter through the back door.However, she saw Jake practicing under the tree, and she could hear his fists moving through the air.“Whoa…” she kept watching him and forgot about time. “It’s like I’m watching my brother fist-fight the fire when he is young.”But soon, she noticed that he was making the falling leaves fly away in different directions in different waveforms.“Wow… how’s he doing that?”She got out of the car and walked straight up to Jake, with her hands in her loose pockets.“Mr. Jake, you sure are putting on a show,” Tessa grinned. “But I don't see Delma watching. What a waste.”Jake was startled by her entrance. He was too focused that he didn’t notice her coming. “You were saying something?”“I said, you shouldn’t practice so hard when Delma isn’t watching,” Tessa smirked. “Do it before her so that she’d be impressed.”“I-I w

Later that night.A phone rang.Davis woke up and saw that it was an unknown number. He answered it.But silence followed.“Hello?” Davis asked. “Who is this?”“I was expecting you to cut the call, but you’re rather patient,” a sweet female voice said from the other side.Davis’ eyes widened as he recognized that voice. “M-Miss Tessa?”It was twelve o’clock at night, so why did she call him at this hour? His heart started pounding regardless if it was to scold him or some other negative reason.“Why did you call me?” Davis cluelessly asked.“I was eating muffins, and I thought it would have been nice if we had muffins at the park,” Tessa replied.“Oh…” Davis didn’t know what to say. Did she really call him to tell just that? “I didn’t know that you liked muffins.”“I used to eat them when I was young,” Tessa replied. “I like the raisins they put in these muffins. They add nice texture to the bread.”“Then… I’ll buy muffins next time we spend time at the park?” Davis hesitantly stated.
CHAPTER 85
Melvyn stopped his car on a cliff and sat on the hood of his car and stared at the stars and the moon.He was not wearing a wig now.In his hands, Jake’s wanted poster was there.The young men who had briefly stopped him at the store looked like complete idiots, but Jake’s face didn’t give him the same impression.“You bought the factory your dad has sold away,” Melvyn uttered. “You’re a good son. You also tried to fight me for the factory. You’re brave, too. I can see why Delma is interested in you.”A few seconds passed.Melvyn released fog through his palm. It turned into a skull-faced fog and flew through the air at incredible speed.Within seconds, it arrived at the Hamilton mansion.Jake, who was in the backyard, looked up at the sky as a massive skull-faced fog came down, seemingly to devour him.Clenching his fist, he threw a punch at it.The fog got dispersed and then it condensed once more behind him, into a much smaller skull-faced fog.“I was doubtful, but now I’m sure tha

Later that evening.Davis and Jake returned to the Hamilton mansion in the black Hummer.“She didn’t say anything in the end,” Davis looked down. “I don’t think she’ll ever call me.”“Well, at least she didn’t leave abruptly, so I think it’s a good sign,” Jake opined.“I think she stayed till the end because of the deal you made, not because she was interested in me,” Davis opined.“Have some confidence in yourself, Davis,” Jake put his arm around his shoulder. “You are Davis Goodheart, the one whom our parents love the most. If you don’t have faith in yourself, then who will?”For some reason, Jake’s words made him feel better. “Stop teasing me, Bro.”“I ain’t teasing you as much as I’m teasing myself,” Jake chortled.Delma and Elmond were watching them from the balcony.“It doesn’t look like Davis succeeded even after giving the two systems back,” Delma uttered.“I’m not surprised,” Elmond casually said while eating pistachios. “The girls these days are as hypocritical as ever. They
CHAPTER 83
Tessa had little to no expectations on this date.Date?No, it was more like a picnic at Helmwood Park, strategically placed amidst the fiery hues of fall foliage.On top of that, the expensive, imported sparkling water Tessa Blake favored, was among the foods he had prepared.Penelope, however, was less than enthralled.She put on designer sunglasses to obscure her eyes.Despite his efforts, Davis could feel her disapproval emanating from beneath the perfectly coiffed blonde waves.Davis was not expecting this at all. He swallowed, trying to ignore the knot of anxiety tightening in his stomach.As he wasn’t sure how he should proceed, a group of children from a trust came to them and asked for money.Davis took all the money out of his purse and gave it to them.Tessa, who could have easily written a check for them, chose not to do it as it would downplay what Davis had done.Moments after they left, a group of ladies were passing by, and they approached Davis and Tessa and praised t

The next day.Tessa arrived at a park in a Rolls Royce. Jake and Davis also came at the same time in a black Hummer car.Tessa was shocked to see them.She came here because Delma told her to, but she never thought that it was all Jake’s plan.“Where’s Delma?” Tessa asked angrily. “If she’s not here, I’m going.”“If you spend this entire day dating my brother, then I will have Delma give your sisters’ systems away,” Jake said.Tessa’s expression froze for a second.“Would Delma give them back just because you asked?” Tessa snorted. “You’re overestimating yourself, Barber!”“I already talked with her, and she agreed,” Jake replied.Tessa’s jaw dropped. “She did? I don’t believe it.”“If it turns out to be a lie, then you can punish me however you want,” Jake said.“Why would I do that?” Tessa rolled her eyes. “My brother must be itching to destroy you anyway.”“You’re not wrong.”Tessa then thought about it and looked at Davis. “You really think you can impress me in a few hours? Aren’
