The rippling force that came out from the throne and was not only enough to fling Anthony’s entire body into the air but was also strong enough push all the slaves back a step or two. They went into a defensive stance, blocking their heads from anything that could hurt it, closing their eyes reflexively, so the next thing they saw when the place had calmed down and they opened them again was that Anthony had vanished from his throne.

“””????””” They were all confused and shook when they saw their master had vanished.

Meanwhile, Anthony’s body was swirling in the air, almost hitting the ceiling but missing by a few inches and in a perfect arch he started to drop while all the slaves, Satyre included who heard the sound his spinning body was making in the air quickly had their heads raised, watching him fall.

“””Master!!””” All the slaves panicked not knowing what to do in this situation, not until the elderly slave lady yelled “Don’t just stand there staring and being all panicked like

    The news of Anthony's power loss caused Satyre to freeze in place, jaw dropped and thinking how it was possible for Anthony's power to have been locked in the first place but not only that also how fit he was to retake his empire now that his best asset to distinct himself from the members of the branch family was gone. It would be very difficult if not impossible to rally supporters who could actually help his goal and make it a reality when the power that only belongs to the ruler and rightful heir of the Midnight empire was now unavailable. Also, that wasn't the only thing she was thinking of right now, there was something else that his power was vital for but now it would be an issue of great concern since he didn't have access to it any longer, for now at least. "So what are we going to do about this situation master? How are we going to retake your empire now that your best asset has been taken from you?" She asked, for the first time in a long time having no answers she could

    With great haste, Satyre made preparations for Anthony’s return back home to Polaris and this was made possible by making a single call to none other than Mr. Rose Dana, the CEO and founder of Dana airlines. The one man who had more than monopolized the entire business of air travel but during their interaction she refrained from telling him anything that happened with the kidnapping and HE taking over Franklin’s body as that was considered unnecessary.The only information that was passed to Mr. Dana which was necessary for his help because only Franklin had had the privilege to communicate with him freely and he refuses to speak to anyone who wasn’t Franklin was that of Franklin’s death, however they fabricated a story of him dying of a heart attack.Outside of the manor, Anthony and Satyre were both standing by a black 2022 Rolls Royce Boat Tail with the back door open, waiting for Anthony to get in while watching the both of them from inside the manor were all the slaves, saddened

    "Excuse me but what the hell is going on here? Why won't they let anyone in?" Asked a begrudged bystander with concerned eyes, talking to one of the Dana Airline security personnel. "My flight was canceled and the money for the ticket I bought was refunded without any prior notice. It really affected my plans because I had somewhere important to be today and I'll have to wait till tomorrow if I want to book another flight." He said and the security man finally looked down to pay attention to what he was saying "I just came to see what's really happening here and I couldn't just sit around watching the broadcast on the news. Since you work here I thought you could at least fill me in on why this is happening. Was there a bomb threat by any chance?" Back at Polaris, standing outside the Dana Airline Airport was a crowd of curious spectators, wondering what was going on inside. Currently, the entire perimeter of the Airport had been put under lock down, yellow security tape circled all

    “””Welcome back home Master Midnight!””” Mr. Rose Dana and all those in his entourage greeted Anthony, bowing their heads as low as they could possibly go the moment he stepped down from the jet.They had hurried to park by the side of the jet which they knew he was going to walk out of the moment it stopped and their goal was just so that they could do this. They had to show their loyalty to Anthony the quickest way possible and this was it.Right now, Anthony had already gone through enough the last month to accept his place in this world of the elites and because of that acceptance, treatment like this which wasn’t part of his life growing up was now feeling more and more natural. This was similar to the treatment he used to get as Star Dust but a million times more.“Thank you and you may all raise your heads!” Anthony said and with joy on their faces, Mr. Rose Dana and the rest obeyed his instruction.“I hope that your fl—“ Mr. Rose Dana was just about to ask how his flight was t

    Anthony sighed in relief to the fact of just being able to see Annabelle and that she was okay from the picture. The Investigator remained on the call but silent, waiting for Anthony to say something to him before giving his response, unfortunately he would have to wait a little bit longer because…“Since that’s been taken care of and we’ve confirmed the safety of your wife, Master Anthony, that means there shouldn’t be any interruptions and you should be completely focused once we get to the office—“ Mr. Rose Dana said but was cut short when with a fierce look, Anthony turned to him.“What in the hell are you talking about right now, Mr. Dana? Did you just try to make decisions on my behalf for what should be more important for me or am I misunderstanding something here?!” Anthony’s voice had a lot of hostility in it. He was basically threatening Mr. Rose Dana to retract what he had just said instead of repeating himself if he is wise.Realizing his mistake, Mr. Rose Dana bowed his h

    “What else could I be thinking of right now if not the future of this family, you stupid child? Right now, a golden fish which will make my family rise back in the hierarchy of leading families has made their appearance to the whole city and I for one I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by, not as long as I lead this family. I’ll swoop in and seize it, no matter the means!” Patience said, clenching her hand into a fist.“And how are you going to make whoever this mysterious figure is to be willing to help our family rise back in the hierarchy, huh grandmother?” Julius asked, holding on to his wife’s hand while both their child sat between the two of them, playing with his toy.“What other way is there? Through marriage of course! This is the reason for why I’ve gotten all my grandchildren to do exactly what I tell them to and as such are going to marry whoever I want and saying “NO” is not an option” Patience said which prompted Julius to look at his two younger twin sisters

These were the words quietly uttered through gritted teeth.Unknown to the rest of the Maple family who were too busy with their discussion, they weren't able to notice that standing right behind the wall a few meters away, hiding and eavesdropping on their conversation was Benjamin Oswald, fist clenched and angry from what he had just heard and standing right next to him was one of the maid named Lucia.Lucia was the same maids who Anthony had asked for a drink during Grey Maple's birthday party but she insulted him as a response {check the edited chapter 1}"You heard what they said right, Master Benjamin?" She asked with intentions solely being to incite and rile him even more into his rage."Yes I did!" Benjamin said, frowning at the Maples before turning to Lucia "If it wasn't for you keeping tabs of the Maple's activities and relayin

    The both of them moved even further and met up with Annabelle which as part of her job Lucia greeted her then went to sit the ice bucket on the resting place table. Meanwhile, watching from the distance and had been in hiding was the investigator, having a gut feeling that something wasn't right."I should call Mr. Rose Dana and the young Master Midnight to tell them what's happening right now." The investigator said, dipping his hands into his trench coat pockets, staring at Benjamin and Lucia with suspecting eyes."What took the Oswald brat so long to return from inside the mansion and why did he go in there in the first place? What was that abrupt phone call that made him go in?" He asked himself all good questions.Thinking about what the right move should be in a situation like this for a minute while also watching Benjamin pour Annabelle a glass of wine because she refused the champagne, the investigator finally decided on which move was right."Better safe than sorry with someo

    Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

    Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

    Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

    "Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking?

    Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

    Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

    The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

    The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

    Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
