The girl screamed and slapped him.

“Let go of me, you pervert!” She roared, jumping up and wiping the spot where Anthony's hand touched.

Anthony quickly apologized and ran to the scene where he saw the rest gathering.

He pushed them aside and saw the girl holding a bouquet of ninety-nine roses, designed with notes of hundred dollars.

It was the ultimate gift.

A money bouquet fitted with ninety-nine roses.

She was smiling shyly as Kelvin professed his undying love for her.

There were boxes of gifts at her feet.

Anthony's eyes went to Clara's waist, where Kelvin's palm was resting comfortably.

He immediately saw red and screamed, rushing to Kelvin in anger.

Anthony was already managing to hold on to the last vestiges of his mental health after his mom died, but seeing such a scene from Clara, the only person who gave him hope, made his rationality snap.

He had sacrificed a lot for Clara because he saw her as family, how dare she try to back out now?

He punched Kelvin furiously, making the spectators scream in shock.

“Is he mad? How dare he fight the heir of the Garcia group? Is he tired of living? One word from Kelvin, no company in Seattle will dare to hire him in the future.” someone whispered.

“He's that legendary poor bumpkin, the only scholarship student in royal city college,” someone whispered.

“Clara Jones! Why don't you tell him you already have a boyfriend? Were you planning to cheat on me?” Anthony asked furiously.

“What's he saying?” Kelvin asked angrily as his driver pulled him up.

Kelvin immediately regretted not coming to school with his guards.

He had discharged them, hoping to seem more approachable to Clara.

“I don't know him. He's only someone who occasionally helps me with my assignments or runs errands for me,” Clara quickly denied in panic.

“Can you hear her? You disgusting piece of shit, how dare you raise your hands against me? Do you have a death wish, you penniless bumpkin?” Kelvin roared, trying to slap Anthony.

Anthony smirked and caught his hand.

“All that money you're spending, did you earn it with your ability? You're just a prodigal son wasting the labors of his ancestors!” Anthony bit back, raising an uproar among the crowd.

He was already angry that the hospital treated his mom like a rag, leading to her death. Kelvin poking fun at his lack of money was adding salt to a very painful injury, causing him not to care about the consequences of his actions.

There was nothing to live for anyway, he already lost everything. His money, his beloved mother, and now the damned girlfriend wants to play him for a fool.

Kelvin chuckled, trying to suppress his anger and maintain his cool image before the crowd.

“Stop it! I never dated you! How dare you slander me? Are you delusional? What makes you think that someone of my level will stoop so low as to date a smelly, disgusting, piece of shit like yourself? You're just an obsessed fan, gradually turning into a crazy stalker. Foolish animal, stay away from me!” Clara shouted viciously, slapping Anthony.

“Only a stupid person will want to stay with a cursed soul like yourself. Can you even afford me? Do you know how much my monthly upkeep costs? You can only look up to me! Useless idiot. You're a pig lusting after swan meat!” She added, feeling as if the slap was not painful enough.

Anthony blinked, unable to believe that his girlfriend was still the same Clara before him.

The scales finally fell from his eyes, shattering his already broken heart into irreparable pieces.

“Fine. Since it has already ended up like this, give me my fifty thousand dollars. There's no need holding on to a broken shard of glass, it only deepens the wound,” Anthony said calmly, looking at her.

Clara immediately panicked on hearing his suggestive words, but she quickly masked her expression.

“What's he talking about? Are you owing this beggar?” Kelvin asked, pulling Clara into his arms while frowning.

At once, murmurs arose from the crowd.

“Could it be that they're really in a relationship? Otherwise, why will someone who's obviously broke give that amount of money to someone else?” A male student asked within the crowd, making Clara uncomfortable.

“We're not into a relationship. After I rejected him, he still kept sending gifts to me, hoping to buy me over. He even transferred money to me, despite the fact I told him that I'm not in need of it. Perhaps he was hoping that the peanuts he kept sending would buy him a chance. I didn't know how else to carefully discharge him. To avoid hurting his feelings, I allowed him to send the gifts and do my assignments. I guess he thought we were dating because I suddenly stopped rejecting his gifts. Ask him if he has even touched my hands, yet he claims we are dating. He's an annoying liar trying to smear my reputation,” Clara said condescendingly, hugging Kelvin's arm tightly.

Anthony glared furiously at her, obviously struck dumb by her lies.

Clara pulled Kelvin in for a kiss, making the crowd cheer for them.

“Pathetic! Useless son of a useless father!” Kelvin spat, touching Anthony's sore spot once again.

He viciously delivered another punch to Kelvin's face before walking angrily towards his dormitory.

After a cold shower, he decided to go and buy dinner.

He hadn't eaten for the whole day.

As he walked absentmindedly, he suddenly noticed the shadows surrounding him.

He looked up and saw Kelvin with a horde of thugs.

“I told you, didn't I? The consequences of crossing me is death." He said coldly, motioning to the thirty thugs with him to pounce on Anthony.

Anthony looked around in panic, noticing that the area was lonely.

His heart Immediately sank, he began to fight the thugs while making a mad dash for escape.

Anthony's body was already littered with bruises and grievous gashes, making blood flow steadily down the various parts of his body.

He shook them off and ran with all the strength he could muster. However, they kept chasing him, pushing him into a desperate situation.

The screeching of car tires was immediately accompanied by his startled scream.

The driver shouted and looked at the young man covered with blood.

He had knocked him down when Anthony ran into the road without looking.

“Why am I so unfortunate?” Anthony whispered as he slipped into unconsciousness.

*****

Anthony slowly opened his eyes, staring at the white ceiling.

The strong smell of disinfectants and the beeping of a monitor alerted him to the fact that he was in a hospital.

He forced himself to sit up and look around, noticing that he was alone in the ward.

Anthony frowned, wondering how he got to the hospital.

However, before he could organize his thoughts, a metallic voice interrupted him.

“Congratulations on awakening the Quintillionaire's spendthrift system. Do you want to accept or reject it?" The metallic voice asked, making Anthony look around, bewildered.

However, you unknowingly accomplished your first mission while spending your welcome bonus. The tasks are divided into four sections: Easy, medium, hard, and life-threatening. However, you're not eligible for life-threatening missions until you reach level 5. The mission you just accomplished is under the hard category.

A wide smile broke on his face as Mo Lan hugged him crying. “It's so good to finally see your face, the soul mate that lighted the beacon, guiding me out of darkness. Has the rest left the mystic lands?” Aryan whispered, rubbing his back. “Big brother, we have a lot to say to each other, but we only have two minutes left, let's go.” Anthony shouted, making him notice the other two. Anthony quickly carried up Aryan while Mo Lan grabbed Annabelle, quickly racing to the front porch. They met an open space craft, making them surprised. “Hurry up!” Sean shouted, coming out from the vehicle. “Why are you still here?” Aryan whispered in surprise. Anthony and Mo Lan staying back was no surprise due to their bond. But Kaiser and Sean staying back was a mystery. “How can we leave our brothers to weather storms alone?

    “Has Mo Lan come out yet? It has already been a week. We have been asked to leave this place and we only have twelve hours left.” Anthony whispered, watching his watch. All of their luggages and things they consider important which didn't belong exclusively to the mystic lands have been packed up and arranged for take off. However, four people were visibly absent while others were ready to take off. But at least, everyone knew where two of them could be seen. Ryan was rushing his last minute cultivation while trying to condense demi god threshold. While Annabelle was upstairs in her room cultivating as if the urgent messages from the system had no relation to her. “I don't really know what's wrong with Mo Lan. He had disappeared to who knows where ever since last week when Annabelle broke into the demi god realm. Could it be that he got backlash while trying to help her breakthrough?” Sean asked with a frown. “It can't be that. If he was truly wounded, there was no way Annabelle wou

    “Why do you keep avoiding my eyes? Look at me! I need you to pay attention if we're to succeed.” Mo Lan snapped impatiently, making Annabelle jump in fright. She had thought that Mo Lan would stalk away after she gave in to her baser instincts and slapped him. But surprisingly, he endured it and told her to get dressed. He had taken her to the mountain, explaining the principles of law formations and stopping at intervals on places with stronger law activities to cultivate and gain deeper understanding on the principles behind their formations and functions. When they got up the mountain, he had taken her on a hands-on combat training class, but she never seemed to fully concentrate, wondering why he was still helping her. “Fine, sit cross legged, let's start dual cultivation and attempt a breakthrough. But before then, I will set a formation around this mountain to prevent your aura and heavenly manifestations from reflecting when you eventually break through.”“Why are you so sur

    It was exactly 12 a.m when Mo Lan creeped into Annabelle’s room again and locked the door. He had met Jasmine in the pool while cultivating earlier that evening leading to an unpleasant encounter. He had thought that everyone was still celebrating Ryan and left to cultivate after taking care of Aryan. He had packed the treasure’s milky drops that were collected in the container and replaced it with a new container after stashing away the initial one.Mo Lan had stripped down to his birthday suit and gotten into the pool, only to notice a movement. He teleported to the spot and caught Jasmine trying to crawl away. And all her tearful explanations about how she had been there before him couldn't save her from the tongue lashing he dosed out on her. After such an unpleasant experience, common sense dictates that he takes a bath and sleeps to unwind. But of course, Mo Lan had never been one to follow common sense.

    The loud cheers he heard downstairs for dinner made him frown. Why were they cheering so much, even if someone broke through, what was the big deal about it? Weren't they breaking through every other day? Literally, since they arrived, there has been someone breaking through every three days or less. So why was this one special? Or has Anthony reached the god realm? That must be it! ‘Oh no, I forgot to tell him the matter about superior god laws. Breaking through in a lower realm ain't good, the space laws will encumber him the moment we leave here.’ Mo Lan muttered and quickly rushed down to the dining room where the commotion was coming from. Everyone was circling Ryan and Angel was jumping up and down. “Ryan, didn't I tell you to…” He began to say angrily, thinking that Ryan disobeyed him and used the treasures to keep forcing a breakthrough to the saint or demi god realm. “Big brother, big brother.” Ryan whispered in a tearful voice and threw himself into Mo Lan's arms, huggin

    Mo Lan went down on his knees before Annabelle the moment he came into the cultivation room. She was sitting cross legged, with eyes closed, churning the energy she received to incorporate it to her own body. Soon, the timer went off and the spiritual energy beams from the aura gathering formation receded. She opened her eyes and exhaled stale air filled with impurities. “Anna, come and eat. I made your favorite beef and chicken stew with rice. There is also a jug of immortal fruit juice to refresh your body and release more energy.” He whispered with a smile and knelt before her, setting out her meals. She smiled at him, watching him serve her. “Our Mo Lan now cooks dishes that are more tasty than mine. He's all grown up now.” She whispered, shutting her eyes as she savored the dishes. “Don't tempt me now. You won't like the results.” Mo Lan whispered, his voice deep as he watched her lick her lips. “You're the one misunderstanding my actions. Or do you plan to throw around the

    “Ryan, come into the lab once you're done eating. It's time to repair your leg and get you new ones.” Anthony said, making Ryan's chopsticks halt halfway to his mouth. “Are you serious?” He whispered, his heartbeat accelerated at the thought that he could finally regain the use of both feet, instead of drifting around on one. “Of course, will this big brother lie to you? The drafts are ready and I spent all morning getting it ready before I went for the morning exercises.

So, I placed a collecting container in the space where it was meant to fall into. When I checked this morning, around two drops had dropped into the container. Although it's two drops, the life energy was incredibly thick and has the ability to regenerate body parts. Although I wanted to use it for Aryan, I think yours cannot wait.

    “How come I have never seen Annabelle today? She's not even in her room. Has anyone seen her?” Anthony asked, walking into the dining room. He had just returned from the miracle pool where he went for his morning meditation and realized that Annabelle was still nowhere to be seen. “Who exactly do you expect to answer that question? If you don't know where she is, who should?” Mo Lan asked harshly, and walked past him carrying a heavy tray laden with various aromatic dishes. Anthony frowned and turned to him, looking surprised. “Mo Lan, you have been getting more and more sassy nowadays. Now you even talk back to me of all people; your big brother.” “Big brother, my ass. Have you seen how tired and sick she looks? Yet she fucking smiles for everyone. She's exhausted but wouldn't take a break till I offered to make the dishes for today.

I can call you mom though, but that's under special conditions, with you in my arms. Mommy, I want some milk. Is it that kind of mommy?” He asked and bit his lips, enjoying her horrified expression. “Mo Lan, when did you get so rotten and raw? Who the fuck are you? Because the person before me ain't my Mo Lan. Mo. Lan, even if I'm too young to be your mother, you're still my son.
