"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
"Anthony," someone whispered, touching him.The familiar voice sent goosebumps down his spine and he shivered in disgust, turning around to look at her.He looked up at her, his eyes two chips of ice."How did you manage to get close to me? You do run pretty fast, Clara. I wonder why you suddenly want to talk to a smelly and despicable trash. If it's because you think I have money now, better forget it. I don't have any money at all. I'm not Mr Money. As you can see, I'm riding a bike, so forget it," Anthony said, standing up to climb his bike."It's not like that, I just wanted to apologize to you. I still miss you sometimes, making me realize how stupid I was. I'm sorry. I'm genuinely sorry, not because of the money, but because I'm feeling remorseful. I'm not a gold digger. Remember that I was your only friend back then when you were working part time jobs. I'm really sorry," she pleaded.Anthony gave her a fake smile and climbed his bike, turning on the engine."Anthony!" Hailey J
Anthony stared steadily at her, confused by her speech."Wow, she's actually being honest. Most of the things she said seem to be true. I only felt a tiny emotional fluctuation from her, which might be as a result of her nervousness and fear of being rejected," the system whispered in surprise, wondering why the pretentious socialite suddenly wants to genuinely become Anthony's woman."I'm afraid you have gotten the wrong person, I'm not Mr Money. If you're looking to forge connections for a wealthy future filled with luxury, then you should definitely find him. I'm not the one you're searching for. As you can see, I came with my bike. While Mr Money only drives around in expensive limited edition cars," Anthony said loudly, making sure that other people could hear him."Excuse me? I don't know why you're trying to do this. Do you think I'm a gold digger? You're embarrassing me. Others will think I'm a terrible person since you're even willing to lie and ruin your reputation, in your
Joan smiled smugly and adjusted her hair, feeling happy for the unlikely coincidence that occured, validating her lie."Wow, he must really like you a lot. Has he given you the jewelry set he bought that day?" Miriam asked, turning to look at her.Joan instinctively wanted to shout of course. However, she knew that any mistake she commits right now will lead to her lie being found out, making her fake a pout."Not yet, he's probably waiting for me to apologize," she whispered, looking sad."Why don't you want to apologize? What did you do?" Miriam asked, feigning concern."I won't. I feel too ashamed. Besides, I can't swallow my pride, no matter how hard I try. I will just wait for him to come back on his own," she whispered 'sadly'."What if he refuses to apologize this time? What if he leaves you and chooses a humble girl that will worship and love him? What if he had bought it for his new girl instead of you?" She asked, looking sincerely at Joan."Shut up, stop saying ridiculous t
Anthony frowned as he heard the familiar enthusiastic voice calling out to him. Didn't he tell her not to cling around him in public?Hailey quickly turned, noticing a young girl that brought out her neck through the window of a very expensive SUV.The girl quickly got down from the car and began to run to Anthony waving a result sheet with a huge smile on her face.She was wearing biker shorts and a crop top, in addition to high heeled boots. She was also wearing an expensive designer bracelet, necklace and earring. Her hair was braided back and it seemed as if she applied light make-up.She was a heavenly beauty to behold. Her slender legs which seemed to go on for ages were flawless and shiny. Her sexy long legs and hourglass figure made everyone that saw her stop to stare at her, swallowing their saliva severally to endure their lust.Even her fellow women admired her beauty, while some others were jealous. However, because she showed up in an expensive car, in the company of a ch
Hailey sat in her car contemplatively, watching the two 'siblings' from the safety of her car.She smirked and scoffed."Anthony, why do you insist on telling people you're broke? Do you think that sending them away will be that easy? It's not possible dearie. Many things have already given you away. You dress in simple but expensive clothes. However, you can only deceive these nouveau riche people, who do not have a good eye to detect luxury. I can smell wealth from miles away, even if you dress in rags. I couldn't feel an aura of wealth on you in the past when I passed by your side. However, I do now. Even your faint perfume has given you away. Or is it your bike? It looks really ordinary and cheap, but the engine and leather are out of this world, showing how expensive it is. The more you hide, the more interested I will be in playing your games. Plain looking luxury goods are often more expensive because secret billionaires or people on a mission prefer to use them. So why are yo
Anthony watched him as he entered his office, while his secretary carried a tray of delicious snacks and fruit juice to him."I should poison that bastard to death so he will know how painful poison is to the body system," Anthony thought viciously, yearning to kill the demonic doctor."Just forget about killing him for now. We need to find out the people they're working with. Otherwise, even if we kill him, the operations will continue. They will simply find another greedy doctor that can easily be manipulated once a substantial amount of money is involved. If we don't uproot the root of the matter, they will keep sprouting like mushrooms in all parts of the country. We need to carefully monitor and fish them out. There might be a deeper conspiracy at work here. It might not merely be organ trafficking and harvesting, there might be a deeper and more troublesome evil at work here. And the only way to realize what he's up to is by patiently and discreetly monitoring him. It's by watc
Mo Lan’s pale, sweaty face was the first Aryan saw the moment he regained consciousness. 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? Lynda is leading the rest away. Ryan, Aria, Jasmine and Angel are in the other vehic
“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. He had continued his bone crushing exercises to train, before going on to
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. Besides, that treasure Mo Lan spoke about, I went to check it out last night and saw that a milky drop of liquid was forming at a point. 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. There are other methods to help Aryan, but thi
“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. If you're going to turn her into a slave, working even when she's exhausted, then you shouldn't have made her believe that lie you told her. Y
“Really? How come I never remember calling you mom? The only one I remember is in Seattle waiting for us since we left years ago. 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. You're the son of my heart.” Annabelle whispered, and took a step away from him “Really? Since you want to be my mom so bad, I agree. I also want to know what those step mother and son movies feel like in real life. We should experiment and see what it feels like to love someone you consider your son in a romantic way? Do you want to call me baby too? Mommy, if you're happy with that big dick brother of mine, I will keep my paws off you. But he leaves you lonely, horny, and feeli
