Annabelle kept sniffing as she stood up to wear her clothes."Anna, please wait. If you leave this room still crying, people will think that I raped you, and it won't be good for either of us. What if your mom hears about it and decides to arrest me, thinking I took advantage of you?" Anthony whispered, getting up from the bed to stand before her, not minding that he was still naked."It's not possible, you're our benefactor. Besides, you didn't rape me, I did it willingly. I just didn't expect that gossip to walk in here. My reputation will be totally ruined," Annabelle wailed."Shh! Don't cry. I will give them a gag order and make them sign a non-disclosure agreement. Is that okay with you? Don't cry, okay? No one will hear about it. No one needs to know. I didn't even do the main deed with you, what if I actually made love to you? You would have probably cried blood by now. Stop crying already, okay?" Anthony pleaded desperately, rubbing her shoulders while chastising himself a mil
Anthony stood before Melissa, examining her.He had taken a lot of time during his expedition, making her condition worsen."How is she? Is she responding to treatment?" Annabelle asked, trying to tug on his shirt to draw his attention.Anthony quickly shifted, avoiding her touch.She was immediately taken aback, her mind filled with confusion at the reason Anthony kept avoiding her like a plague."I already told you I will make her whole. I never go back on my words, so you don't have to worry about it. If I say she will be fine, then she will. Just step aside and wait for me to be done with her," Anthony said calmly, still detoxifying her."Why don't you use one of the almighty detoxifying pills? It works on all toxins, pushing them out so that you can easily use the poison technique to extract and trap it. It will be more efficient, taking less time, so that you can quickly go on with the golden needle life-saving technique. You have missed school for a whole week, you need to get
"So, does the emperor live here?" Chan Feng asked hesitantly."Nope. He lives in your world. This is a different world," Anthony explained, sitting down."I thought he's your master? What are you talking about? Different worlds? I don't understand," Bing Yu whispered, panicking."You live in a world of cultivation, while I live in a world of technology. The emperor once stopped briefly in this world years ago and dropped an inheritance. I picked up that inheritance and became his disciple. I was mistakenly transported to the valley while searching for the poison fingers technique. I was to be returned back with his help when he realized what happened. But I met you guys and decided to bring you along. Are you already regretting it?" Anthony asked, looking at them."If we want to go back, can we do that?" Bing Yu asked hesitantly."I'm afraid, it's a no. You're stuck here, that why I went against the rule to take all of you so that you three will be together," he explained, noticing th
Joan immediately flashed a smile at Mo Lan."Oh little boy, I'm his fr.." she began to say when Anthony quickly cut her off."I don't know who she is. Don't talk to strangers, the world is not a good place," Anthony chastised, carrying Mo Lan up in his arms, while walking towards Bing Yu.Joan blushed in embarrassment, clenching her fists. Lots of people witnessed her disgrace, filling her with fury. Her only consolation was that they couldn't understand Chinese, unlike her who was multilingual due to her wealthy background."Young master, who is she? She seems to know you, why did you ignore her? Did you guys quarrel?" Bing Yu asked, walking beside him."She's no one important, you don't have to worry yourself about her." Anthony quickly reassured, making Joan feel like digging a hole to hide herself.She watched as Chan Feng and the driver walked towards him, staring enviously as the driver bowed before him, before carrying Mo Lan away."Who is the little boy? Is that his son?" Joan
Anthony's face scrunched up into a frown as he noticed the caller."Why is she calling me?" Anthony mused, cutting the call."Who's that? Why don't you want to pick it?" Mo Lan asked, stuffing his face with chicken breast."It's no one important," Anthony said carelessly, enjoying the delicacies before him.Bing Yu's frown deepened."Is it the girl we met at the mall? Is she your betrothed? Did you guys quarrel? Quarreling is actually normal for young couples, but you shouldn't ignore her because of a silly misunderstanding," Bing Yu advised, making Anthony's mouth fall open at her conclusion."This is what they call women supporting women. But why are you ignoring your little lover?" The system asked naughtily, infuriating Anthony."Bing Yu, the girl we met at the mall is a total stranger to me. I have only met her once. She doesn't even have my number. And I most certainly do not have any lover or betrothed. The person that called now doesn't have an important reason for calling me.
"Haven't you both been intimate? Why are you denying her? Her reaction at getting caught that day was absolutely normal. She's just a young woman, a teenager. It makes sense that her emotions will be a mess. But as for you, you're a man, a grown adult. However, you kept acting very immature and extremely petty ever since that incident. You snap at her like she's an annoying dog trying to steal your meat. All her efforts to impress you have been equivalent to water poured on a duck's back, very useless. You kept ignoring her, letting her bang her head against the wall in a futile adventure. She keeps trying to make amends, but you always act like a grouchy old pervert who suddenly doesn't want his maid anymore, just because she refused to give in to his dirty advances. You've totally destroyed that upright image you want to build before her and her mother. Your actions have been no different from a pervert. It would have been better if you grabbed her and gave her a hard kiss, telling
"What do you mean by that? I thought there's a quintillion dollars worth of money stored in the system. So what are you talking about?" Anthony asked, his heart beating wildly."Of course, there's more than a quintillion dollars in there, but you have to be strong enough to access them . If you stop leveling up, you may lose it. Unless you're already quite satisfied with your current level of strength and wealth. However, if you prove incompetent and unable to avert the impending disaster, the system will have no other choice but to find a more suitable candidate for the job you failed to do," the system warned, making Anthony grit his teeth in fury."Why does it always seem as if you're threatening me with the loss of the system? I'm the master of the system, aren't I? Why does it seem as if I'm the obedient servant that must bow my head? I hate it when people try to control and threaten me! So If you will continue yapping and threatening me, you might as we leave," Anthony bit back
Anthony stopped in the garage, his eyes going to the new motorcycle placed on a raised platform.He walked towards the black bike and squatted beside it, examining it."Ah! I should have checked it after it was delivered. It looks expensive," Anthony cursed, touching the sleek material of the motorcycle."It might be expensive, but others won't know the price. It doesn't have a popular logo on it. Beside, there's a company that caters to middle class citizens that used this particular design for one of their products. So they will assume it's the knock off version that you bought. You don't need to worry about it at all," the system quickly said, trying to encourage Anthony to not be dismayed because of the supplier's inability to adhere to instructions."You're almost late. The quiz will be starting in twenty minutes," the system said calmly, throwing Anthony into a state of panic.He quickly wore his helmet and quickly mounted the bike driving towards the exit with all the speed he
