"New manager? What are you talking about Favorite?!" Michael asked, pulling Anthony by the shoulder so that he would turn and face him.

"After everything we've been through, your first thought is finding a new manager?!"

"Why not?" Anthony asked, staring right into Michael's eyes.

"But- but—" Michael mumbled, not having a reason to support his stance.

"This is a business after all and every business needs a manager to flow properly. Not every manager is going to be like Marilyn" Anthony said.

"How do you know that?" Casey asked, "I know I was late to the party but how can you trust and be so nonchalant about this after everything that has happened, Favorite?"

Anthony turned to her and said "Because I trust that the next manager would do better. I'm sure of that"

Both Michael and Casey looked at each other then they looked at Anthony.

"I had no idea what was really going on here all these months because Marilyn had been lying to me the whole time but I understand where this young man i

These same security men had offered to do what Anthony was doing but Anthony had refused.The vehicle and security detail had been provided by Mr. Rose Dana and as such, they knew exactly who Anthony was.All of them felt uncomfortable watching Anthony do what he was doing right now, opening the door for someone not as powerful or influential as he was but Anthony didn’t care.“These men will take you straight to the Mercury Hotel and they’ve been given access to take you to your room. If there’s anything you need while staying in my city, maybe some entertainment then just ask any of them and they will provide you with it” Anthony said to Owen through the rolled-down window.Owen looked at Anthony with an astonished gaze.“You call this your city

    “Huh?!” Saul jolted and exclaimed when he couldn’t lift Anthony’s body from the ground then he hurriedly turned to face Anthony so he can find out why and maybe change tactics.At this point, because Anthony foiled his move, Saul was now the one in the open and Anthony didn’t fail to take advantage of that.As Saul was turning to face him so that he could try the same move again, Anthony jumped and kicked Saul in the chest with both feet.Both of them went flying in the opposite direction and while Anthony landed on his back on the floor, Saul’s back was slammed into the same corridor wall he had planned to slam Anthony into.Both of them knew that the fight wasn’t over so there was no time to rest.Anthony sprang back to his feet but just as he landed on both legs, Saul who had already taken off his trench coat threw it at Anthony, trying to use it to cover his view.“Fuck!” Anthony exclaimed because he knew that if that trench coat lands on him then he automatically loses.

    “It doesn’t matter but have you noticed it yet?” The old lady asked Anthony and he grimaced in confusion.“Noticed what yet?” “The pain you were feeling? Where has it gone?” The old lady asked him, smirking as he looked down.Anthony crease his forehead in skepticism, wondering why he wasn’t feeling any pains in his body when just some seconds ago it was like his arm was about to be ripped offAnthony grunted, knowing that things had gone beyond his understanding.“Is it this place? I don’t know why but it feels kind of familiar” Anthony said as he looked all over the strange area he was in.The old lady chuckled “Familiar is it? Maybe you’re correct and maybe you’re hallucinating, who’s to say?” She shruggedAnthony frowned as he lowered his head to look at her.“So what now?

Anthony mumbled in shock."Where did who go? Anthony, are you sure the injury on your head isn't affecting you a little?" Annabelle asked.Anthony was trying to wrap his head around what just happened but couldn't. He tried touching his head injury, wondering if Saul's hit did do something to him."Maybe we should go see a doctor" Annabelle suggested."I don't know, maybe—" Anthony said then jolted when he touched the wound over the bandaid but he felt nothing. It was like the injury wasn't there.Anthony then observed his entire body while standing how he was and all the pains he should have were gone."Wait, did that really happen?" Antho

Just look how far we've come since then… Hehe It might not be obvious but this was a story I came up with just three days before I started publishing the first chapter and I hadn't thought about everything that I was going to write down. I was just winging it most of the time However, what I did think of was how many parts this story was going to have and what the major plot of each part was going to be like. Now, experience and inspiration have influenced how a lot of the plots took place in part one and I'm sure it'll happen

    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?"

    "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.

    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
