"Jordan! Stand down!” Chador's voice came from the inner room. Even he had felt the massive killing intent Atlas had released and he involuntarily shivered. He knew a confrontation will result in his loss, so the best thing was to let the Eriksons deal with this.“This is family affair. Go out first.” Mister Erikson then came out to check out the cause of all the debacle taking place in his residence.Jordan reluctantly but obediently withdrew his hand. He knew his boss was trying to leave a good impression on the Eriksons, so he only glowered at Atlas again, and the left.Cheyenne's parents were full of resentment, but they did not dare get physical with Atlas; the scene of Jordan being frightened by Atlas was very fresh in their mind. Atlas's terrifying gaze intimidated them, and even the brutish Jordan had some scruples about Atlas. However as they looked at Damien's cheap clothes and calm expression that was almost the same as the past, their worries vanished.'I was thinking too
Watch your tone“You!” Chador immediately flew into a rage. No one had ever dared to be so arrogant toward him! And now a bug he could actually swat out is being so high and mighty in front of him? Even directly telling him to leave!? Is the world going crazy or did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!?The Eriksons were just as furious as him as they angrily charged forward to surround Atlas, as though they were going to hit him. Just as the conflict was getting heated, someone pushed the door open and entered.“W.. what's going on?”Atlas's heart palpitated and his body stiffened. He will always know the owner of this voice even in his dreams. He stood still in place without turning around. He had imagined and even rehearsed how he will break the news of his new life to Cheyenne countless times in his head during his walk back to the Erikson Mansion. But when he heard her gentle voice, Atlas realized that he could not bring himself to explain the Wealth system to he
156. Argue“Don't bother arguing!” Carrie immediately screeched.“You were penniless and had nothing to even aid you in your travel. I can't imagine that after we were kind enough to let you marry into our family and provide you with food and a roof over your head, yet you stole our money when we let our guard down and absconded!”Atlas frowned and could not be more astounded at the atrocities this woman had spewed against him.. no wonder Cheyenne was seething with hatred earlier. The only path here is to explain and clear his name, hopefully Cheyenne will believe him.“No such thing happened. I don't even know where your father keeps his money!” Atlas tried to reason with Cheyenne.“Nonsense! You clearly stole half a grand from us this morning before going off to meet Young master Chador here!” Carrie interjected harshly before turning to look at Cheyenne's father, Smith Erikson.“Tell us; did he steal our money, or I'm I making all these up!?”“Hmph! He married into our family, yet
GiftCarrie's presumptuous behavior made Cheyenne feel very uncomfortable.“Mother, I have already told you several times that I won't marry Mister Michaelson.” she then turned to look at Chador.“Mister Michaelson, you come from a privileged family, and there are many girls who like you. I'm already married, and I really don't deserve, so you should not waste any more time on me.”Carrie was so infuriated that she pinched Cheyenne several times and barked.“Why are you so muddled!? Chador is such an eligible man. You're lucky he fancies you!” then she turned to apologize to Chador.“Young master Chador, we have spoiled Cheyenne rotten. Sometimes, she's thick in the head, so please don't mind her! Don't worry. I have the final say in this household.”Chador smiled faintly and pretended to be nonchalant.“Its alright, Carrie. I believe Cheyenne will believe in my sincerity one day.” however, he was extremely displeased.'I, Chador Michaelson, have never been blatantly rejected by a woma
FraudAtlas had just seen Ella today, how could he have prepared a present in advance when he didn't even know Amelia was going to adopt the child from the orphanage. Just as he was about to think of what to say, the system's robotic voice rang in his head.«Ding!System sense's Host's complicated emotion. Deploying the moonstone bracelet.Moonstone bracelet description: a piece of the moon, capable of enhancing a person's Will and also eliminate fatigue as well as stabilize emotions.Worth: Three million dollars ($3,000,000).Object: Tradable.»Atlas put his hand in his pants pocket and felt a bead bracelet. He brought out the bracelet from his pocket and gave it to Ella.“Happy Birthday, Ella. Daddy wishes you to grow up safely and happily.”Although Atlas had obtained this gift from the system and it's description suggested it was extremely worthy, it still looked like an ordinary bead bracelet to people.Amelia reached out and snatched the bead bracelet. After taking a glance at i
Level upRen didn't quite get all that was happening around him, his focus was on the school assignment in front of him. He was doing his best to solve the problem, and at the same time thinking more on what the Celestial god had said.“What did he mean by other chosen individuals. Doesn't this mean I'm not the only one who was given a second chance?” he muttered before slapping his forehead.“That's exactly what he meant dumbass.”Sigh!“I just hope the other candidates are having a hard time.”[Meanwhile]"How much farther? At the moment." Micheal walking through the mud road towards his quest."Two miles" Her usual arrogant witty self was nowhere to be found as she was very silent during his journey."Someone's having a bad day, come on, princess, say something""Leave me be, human"Normally she would sound arrogant but now she sounded terrified. He thought he would like her to be silent but after traveling in silence for a long time, he missed the witty and arrogant princess. Howev
HereEveryone thought Charles McAlister as the man who will bring the Elisium Military to a greater height, but they failed to question how he survived while plotting on foiling the plans of the previous Secretary of Defense right under his nose. No matter how careful he planned, a ruthless man like Tony Hamilton would have killed him a long time ago to avoid anyone finding out about the scheme, but Charles McAlister survived.Except the dark world, no one knew the real Charles McAlister. Tony Hamilton was only a Secretary of Defense for the outside world but the real mastermind behind him was none but Charles McAlister. His simplicity was just for show as he was the richest man in the world and he made his fortune by drug and human trafficking, yet the outside world didn't know this.Since no one could prove him guilty, some rich fool from somewhere was paying Michaelis to take him out. As far as Michaelis was concerned, he was getting paid to take out dirt like him for a sweet amount
Empty feelingEven though she wanted to know what-next, Simran stared at the man in front of her. Her mind numb, her face blank. Her gaze traveled to his bleeding thigh. The man had managed to disguise as Starlight for two months? How was that possible for a werewolf? She studied him closely to understand him.Manton looked at Simran, turned her, curled his hand around her neck and pushed her to a carriage that was waiting for her. He waved his hand in the air and ordered his men.“We move immediately.”They were five men on their horses and a woman who already had Nyles hauled across her horse.Manton opened the carriage door and pushed Simran to sit down on the bench. He got in and sat opposite. He pounded on the carriage and they started to move at a rapid pace.Simran was surprised at the turn of event. She was silent as the carriage sped across the dirt road. When she peeked out of the window, she saw the mist rolling around them as if covering them like a permanent drape. She fe
