"You said you need a car, sir?" The gentle lady, Sophia, was asking David. Not that she didn't heard him said that earlier, but she just wanted to be sure. It seems she was having a slight doubt about him."Yes, of course," David affirmed.Sophia nodded her head with an unexplainable expression toward David. He was trying to decode what was running through her mind, but he couldn't get a hint of it.For Sophia, she hoped David wouldn't be a waste of time for her. She had to leave the crucial duty she was attending to for him. It wouldn't be funny if she finds out he was just there to act out scenes he watched in a movie.She walked into a hall, displaying some brands of cars. They included Volkswagen, Kia, Subaru, and the like."I know you would love some of the cars here," she proposed with a little smile. To her surprise, she found David had a displeased facial expression."They are not too costly; they are very affordable," she added. She had the thought that David had such a bitte
"We are here for business, sir." Sophia found David performing a stand-up comedy to her. So she has to remind him they were there for business.David's smiley face vanished slowly upon hearing that. 'Do I look like a clown?'"I don't have the whole day for this too, let's get down to business." His serious face returned.She stared at David for a few seconds before she walked into the first line where Bentley brand are arranged."You should like this Bentley Mulsanne. It's one of the most opulent cars with a powerful 6.75-liter V8 engine that produces over 500 horsepower. The Mulsanne is also known for its smooth ride and quiet cabin..." Sophia was explaining before David suddenly asked,"How much does it cost?""$4 million, sir." She retorted almost instantly.David tilted his head with squinted eyes. As if what she just said was stinking to him.Sophia on the other side had to force a lump down her throat. She just swallowed the little anger that pushed up from her stomach.She does
Sophia, could you please save my time?" David had a sudden frowning look.The manager was staring at him and thought, 'He wasn't only looking so cheap, he also has pride. Hmph.'"You can proceed with the transaction," the manager said. He doesn't have an interest in the mess before him.Then Sophia asked, "Are you paying with your card?"Before she finished the statement, David provided his card and gave it to her.Reluctantly, she took the card and inserted it into the machine. She was about to input the amount of his purchase before David said,"Use the maximum button."Sophia was wondering if he does have such an amount on the card. Without thinking too far, she used the maximum button as he said and the amount of money that flushed out on the machine screen nearly made her head explode.'$13,804,000,003!' She was utterly stunned. She felt a glitch was happening on the machine. She wasn't convinced and ejected the card.It was so hard for her to believe David has such an amount in
David was walking hurriedly in the company's lobby while Sophia followed behind him with her head slightly bowed. She, too, was walking as fast as possible.David was walking so fast, trying his best to leave the company quickly before things went south."Are you still following this punk around?" A familiar voice taunted.Sophia and David looked in the direction of the voice, and it was none other than Julianna."Sophia, can't you see this punk is just fooling around here? Why are you so respectful to him?" She continued to taunt.Sophia had her mouth wide open in shock, covering it with her left hand. She gestured for Julianna to be quiet.However, Julianna wouldn't stop and went on, "Why are you trying to act so important, too?" She stared at David intensely."Hmph! Punk! Haha!" She laughed sarcastically.Sophia nearly lost it. She felt sorry for Julianna, who seemed unaware of the trouble she was causing for herself.Someone who can spend $13 billion without a second thought would
All the staff bowed, gazing at the floor. They couldn't look the manager in the eyes. His face was so fearful and unfriendly at this time.While they all had their faces gazing at the floor, one of them quickly spoke up, "She left the lobby not quite long with some guys."'Guys?' The manager was confused. He remembered she came to him with just a young man.'Whose guys was he talking about?' He was still in the midst of the confusion as he wailed at the staff. "Hurry to her now and inform her to report here in a second."The staff rose from his bow and quickly rushed towards the route she and the guys followed.Just then, she saw her heading towards the lobby. Sophia wondered why there was a sudden change in the atmosphere. She could remember the state she left the lobby some minutes ago. She was in puzzlement of what had happened in just the few minutes.All the staff were on their feet, bowing their heads. She hadn't caught the sight of who they were bowing to until she saw the back
Julianna had much more interest in the matter than everyone else. She couldn't concentrate on her job since they had returned to their positions. She had her eyes and attention on Sophia and the manager.Julianna's wish for Sophia to get into bigger trouble had widened. With the way the manager just yelled at her, it's obvious that things might get messy anytime soon.She was puzzling over whose Young Master they were talking about, too, but she wasn't really concerned about that. All she was waiting for was a punishment for Sophia."If she gets punished for acting too righteously, there's nothing bad in it." She muttered.She had drawn a picture of how miserable Sophia would look after serving her punishment in her mind. She was so engrossed in this hallucination until she suddenly had a wide smile on her face.She was much ready to mock her badly if the pictures in her mind finally became a reality."I'm very sorry, I never knew he would be leaving so soon." Sophia begged.The manag
The manager of Automaximus went on his knees immediately and began to beg for Mr. Oliver's mercy. "Forgive me for my incompetence, boss." His voice was trembling with so much fear in it.As soon as everyone saw the manager on his knees, they all rushed to their knees too, pleading to Mr. Oliver even though they didn't have a hint about what was happening."Please, forgive us, sir!" They all chorused.Mr. Oliver, who was standing at a far distance from all his staff, took off his black eyeglasses, and the redness in his eyes was as thick as blood.Each of them shook their heads instantly, gazing at the floor. They couldn't look at him in the eyes."I gave you a simple order, but you failed to carry it out. How dare you? Is that how extensive your incompetence has grown?" Mr. Oliver pointed at the manager with his index finger in fury."It's not my fault, boss. It was Sophia's fault." The manager was trying to shift the blame away from himself to the innocent lady.'Ah!' Sophia's mouth
"Today happened to be one of the best days for us in this company," Mr. Oliver began to explain cheerfully as he moved closer to his staff.Some of the workers who didn't have an idea about what Mr. Oliver was pointing at had curious expressions. They couldn't wait for him to explain this."A very generous man came to our company today and bought all the cars in the VIP hall," he disclosed, making a sudden shock strike through the lobby."What?!" Most of the staff had their mouths wide open, exchanging glances at each other."How is that possible?""How can a single person afford such luxury?""I know there are so many wealthy families in this city, but spending a whole lot of money on cars on a whim is so strange and unbelievable."They were all awestruck and couldn't wrap their heads around it. It was indeed quite unbelievable."It was so strange and difficult to believe for myself until I confirmed the payment," Mr. Oliver opened up."Did you see this most generous man when he came
"Father!! Father!!" David jumped to his feet and yelled."Where are you?!!" He screamed even more loudly.With how emotional David felt at this moment, tears should have started gushing out of his eyes, but the power in him now wouldn't give him the chance.As David couldn't hear any response from his father, he had to accept the reality that his father had truly left the present world for somewhere else.Just then, he ran back to the room where Skyla was. He stared at her for a little while and turned away from her, stomping his feet angrily."Xandros!!" He yelled with gritted teeth. He was so angered that Xandros was the only reason why he couldn't get in touch with all of his loved ones.At this moment, David felt a notification drop on his phone. He fished out the phone and saw several missed calls from Sandra and Jessica.David's brows tightened slightly before he saw some messages from both of them.He opened Jessica's message first, and it read,"I have tried my best to show yo
This caught David's attention, and he walked briskly to his father.David was staring at the beautiful lady who was in a static position within the transparent sphere.Just then, he realized that, despite how beautiful the lady was, the skin from her neck to her feet was extremely wrinkled, which disfigured her beauty.Then, he asked his father in a stuttering state, "Who is she?"The old man shook his head and disclosed, "My son, this is Skyla, your wife."David's eyes widened instantly and were in total confusion about what he had just heard."My wife? How? And why is some part of her skin so horrible? Why is she so static in this sphere?"David's father patted his son's shoulder and said, "I told you earlier that these revelations would be quite strange to you.""Let me explain this to you. As the possessor of the Omnium, your wife must be a person whose soul strength matches yours. Before my father left this Earth, he had marked Skyla as the only lady whose soul strength is capabl
"My son, let me explain better to you," David's father said with a smile.David hurriedly sat next to his father, enthusiastic. He couldn't wait to learn more about his ancestors.The man signaled at the grey-haired man and Helix Magnus, and they both used the door.Then he began to explain, "Helix Magnus is aware that we have been looking for you since a long time ago, most especially at this very moment. That was the reason he quickly informed The Sage about your ability when he saw you at Glover City, which was what helped us to find you today."David heaved a sigh while his father continued to explain, "My son, at this point in your life, I know what you have become."David's body moved slightly, watching his father's lips."I know everything I'm about to explain to you might seem strange to you, but I still have to explain them."David nodded his head, listening."Five centuries ago, the Anderson family broke out of the Zaozao Kingdom and came to dominate this city. Right from th
The door and the name inscribed on it were extremely glittering. This suggested very well that the door was made of pure gold.David was still in doubt about everything the grey-haired man had told him until this time. Nevertheless, thousands of questions still lingered in his mind.David turned his eyes in another direction in the Palace and he could see a big car garage from afar. The space in which exotic cars were packed was up to a hectare of land.Suddenly, he heard the grey-haired man say, "Young Master, I will be so eager to take you around every corner of the Palace. As for now, let's hurry up and meet my master."David's head raised slightly, hiding the little touch of surprise on his face.Even though David already had trillions at his fingertips, this beautiful environment was more captivating than expected. He couldn't take his eyes off it.Just then, David nodded his head and said to the man, "I still need a better explanation for all these.""Very well, Young Master. My
The onlookers were shocked by the scene unfolding before their eyes. Although they couldn't hear the conversation going on between the two of them.They were all shocked to see a whole right-hand man to the greatest kingdom of Apex City, kowtowing to David?! This was beyond their understanding.Meanwhile, at this time, David's interest had become wider in this matter as he remembered that the system had informed him that he would meet his parents anytime soon.Then David mumbled, "My father! My father!"He looked in the direction where the man was kowtowing and ordered him, "Rise!"The man jumped to his feet immediately. Then David asked, "You said you've been looking for me for so many years. Why was it so difficult to find me since then?"The grey-haired man shook his head and heaved a sigh, "Young Master, it's a long story. Hurry up, let's go home. Your father knows more about the story than I do."David's face brightened, "Huh?! Really?!" He asked in surprise."Yes, Young Master!"
The helicopters sent up a cloud of dust and debris in the air as they landed.At this moment, the eyes of the onlookers were filled with anticipation as their attention was glued to the direction where the helicopters had landed.Just then, a set of highly influential-looking men dropped down. They all wore fine-looking uniforms, which made the onlookers sense that they were the guards of the kingdom.They quickly formed a line, and then one of them rushed to the next helicopter. He bowed respectfully before opening the door with a gloved hand.This time, a man in his late 60s dropped down from the helicopter. His appearance was so elegant, and his aura was breathtaking.Despite being in his late 60s, he looked energetic and active.He wore a simple yet classy robe, cinched at the waist with a golden cord. He had long, grey hair falling to his shoulders like a silver mantle. His beard was neatly trimmed, framing his face with a sense of dignity."Hurry up, hurry up, Helix Magnus! Wher
"Does that mean this dude had only been hiding himself from the media all this while?""Why did he decide to hide his identity all this while? He has been doing so great for a long time!"The hall kept on buzzing with whispers and comments.Just then, a voice came up from the crowd at the front seat. It was one of the biggest government officials at the event. He shouted, "Finding out that you are the mysterious man we have all been wanting to know, you deserve a respectful bow!"As soon as he said this, he bowed so respectfully to David. Just as he bowed, every single person in the hall rose to their feet and bowed to David with different chants."You deserve to be honored, the great one.""You are a blessing to our city. You deserve more respect."They were making different comments while David was on the stage, watching the thousands of people bowing to him.Meanwhile, in Lady Wendy's sitting room, all the family members had risen to their feet at this time. The scene unfolding bef
At this moment, Diana's mind was filled with regret. Her face looked so bitter that she shook her head and muttered, "It's so sad that I was so blind to see this day coming."A deluge of tears rolled down her eyes.Diana's mind was soaked with sadness for her foolhardiness. She was lambasting herself for being dishonest to David.It was so sad that she had chosen to be his wife in the past because she had an insight that his future would be fruitful due to his brilliance in high school.However, it was so sad that her impatience and waywardness had landed her in a pit of despair.Deep down in Diana's mind, she knew that she might not have gone astray if her mother had guided her rightly. Sadly, her mother was even the one who had sailed her to the wrong destination.Diana raised her head and sent a glare to her mother, where she was seated. She had a thought of tearing her mother apart in her mind.Surprisingly, Elena was also lost in thought, her eyes red with tears and her face look
Mr. Jason's eyes turned cold, and he nearly rushed to Pauline and slapped her face right away. He wondered what the reason was behind her useless tears.Just then, his gaze fell on the phone before her daughter. He walked close to it and saw a video playing on it.Surprisingly, it was the live stream of the event happening at The Majestic Manor. He saw Camilla giving a speech.As soon as Mr. Jason saw this, the anger in him escalated. Out of control, he yelled at her daughter, "Would you keep your mouth shut? You silly thing!"Vexation was evident in his eyes, and he might fire Pauline on the spot if care was not taken."Do you think your tears are useful now? You spoiled thing!"Pauline raised her head this time, and her eyes had already swollen with tears. She wanted to make a reply, but it was beyond her control when she burst into continuous tears."Keep your mouth shut!" Mr. Jason was angered."I'm sorry, Father. I was so blind to know Mr. David wasn't a commoner like I thought."
