As Julianna had been involved in the matter, the other workers discovered that the young man, Snake and his boys had bowed to a few minutes ago was the Young Master Mr. Oliver was talking about. They found it hard to believe at first because the guy was only wearing cheap casual clothes.Upon learning this fact, one of the workers immediately blurted out before any of them could provide proof. "Boss, Julianna was the first person to meet the Young Master." A wide smile covered her face as the man said that. She was happy to have someone defend her until he continued with his explanation."But everything Julianna said about treating the Young Master respectfully was pure lies. She never welcomed him with honor; instead, she picked a fight with him."Julianna, whose face had contorted with anger, objected immediately. "What nonsense are you saying?"She was more than dumbfounded when the other workers snapped at her, "You are the one spewing trash, Julianna.""You lied, you are known fo
"Since we already know to whom the honor belongs, we don't have to waste much time," Mr. Oliver said, smiling at Sophia. The previous rage on his face had totally dissolved.Sophia is a gentle and modest lady. Another thing is that she's the shy type. This shyness had settled on her right now.She was feeling slightly uncomfortable. She gets nervous if a lot of attention is on her.This time, everybody in the lobby had their eyes on her. She had done so well; she deserves this honor, absolutely.Then Mr. Oliver said, "Walk forward, Sophia."It was more like walking through a hall of fame.All other workers around her made a way out of the crowd as she slowly stepped out in honor to the center of the lobby.She covered her eyes with her hands, feeling so nervous and shy. The attention was too heavy for her. She just can't bear it.Well, the honor she brought for herself is way better than the embarrassment Julianna brought upon herself.They're two different people with two different d
David had arrived home some minutes ago. He was patiently waiting for his cars to arrive.Just then, Snake and his boys showed up at his estate. They drove quickly in the direction David gave them and parked in the garage.Getting out of the cars, David appeared to them suddenly as they all bowed to him with great respect."Live long, boss." They chorused.David had a slight smile, remembering that was the same greeting they used for Don Clinton. This time they had transferred the same respect to him as well.In the past, Snake and his boys knew nothing about David's identity. They were only respecting him due to Don Clinton's order.But this time, they had learned some things about him. The boys couldn't believe that a young wealthy man like David could choose to live a low-key lifestyle.He didn't even wear expensive clothes. He preferred to wear something simple and cheap. They never knew he was so rich until they drove the five expensive cars to his home.Learning that he also liv
In the evening, in Mrs. Wendy's bedroom, Patrick and the other children were seen taking seats around the old woman's bed.For some time now, Granny's health issues have become unpredictable and very alarming. If she's somewhat okay today, in the next two or three days, her health issues will resurface. That was the condition of her sickness.Granny was a hypertensive patient. The problems in her family had worsened her health condition.All the children gazed at the old sick woman lying on the bed. They all wore somber expressions because this was the third day the old woman's sickness hadn't allowed her to leave her bed."When are we taking Granny to the hospital? Her sickness is already becoming so critical," Alfred asked, his face filled with concern.Patrick glanced at his son, Alfred, and then at all the other family members too.He moved his gaze all around until he briefly locked eyes with Elena. In a flash, she retorted coldly, "Why are you staring at me? Provide your son wit
"There's a saying, it says, 'coughs...'" Granny was explaining as she coughed."Sorry, mother!""You can suspend all you want to say till other times, Grandma."They were all expressing their concerns."I already told you that I'm fine," the old woman insisted, straining her sick voice. Lady Wendy is the type that doesn't accept defeat easily. She was sick but she wasn't ready to accept it.All her children went silent for her. She might get furious if they picked a further argument with her."The saying says, 'act as if you're dead to know those who truly loved you.'" Elena's eyes widened as Granny said this. Her face felt cold instantly, feeling so bothered about how to change the bad narrative from her mother's mind."The saying is worth more than any of you could think of it." The old woman placed her right palm on her chest as she continued."I wasn't even pretending to be sick yet I was able to know those who want me dead.""Don't say that, mother. You will live longer on this E
Alfred was worried that he might end up taking the whole blame if he failed to speak up. Quickly, he explained, "Grandma, I want to tell you that only a single person can't carry out this assignment. It's not as easy as that."All attention shifted to Alfred as he said that,'What does he mean by that?''Why is Alfred trying to wash only himself clean?'These were running through their minds, and they all had a confused expression, gazing at him. Except for Granny, whose face tightened in curiosity. She was trying to pick out Alfred's point from his explanation."Do you mean you made an attempt to look for him but the rest of them failed to support you?" Granny asked out of curiosity.Alfred raised his head, looking at the rest of the family. He didn't want to be too quick to reply. The expression on their faces would determine his reply.To his surprise, he couldn't even decode what the expression on their faces meant. Although he couldn't understand it, one thing was very certain: t
Why Granny remained adamant with her point was getting Elena more agitated. Her hatred for David grows fresher every day. She knew in her mind that no matter how Lady Wendy insisted with her point, she would never participate in searching for that loser.The fact that they were unable to convince Granny wasn't a shock to Tony. The old woman used to be very hard to convince right from the beginning.Then he proceeded to ask the question that seems important to him now, "Grandma, where do you think we can find him? It's very challenging to be looking for an insignificant person among the billions of important people in this city."Tony hadn't ended his speech before Granny picked it up, "How do you expect a sick woman, lying on her sick bed, to have an answer to this question? How do you expect me to have an idea about his whereabouts? That's why it's an assignment to you all. Find a solution to the problem!"Granny dismissed! Gazing at her children, she could understand the expression
The shocking news had left Diana in a startled state. She just can't get over it. She was scrutinizing the cars that were posted alongside the write up. They were all so beautiful and eye-catching."Uh.. How I wish... How I wish..." Diana was lost in what she should wish for. She wished to own one of those beautiful cars, if not all the cars, just like the mysterious man."What could be the net worth of this man? Damn! I just can't imagine it." She was in the middle of the greatest puzzlement of her life.She went back to her wish again and finally concluded on one. "How I wish I'm his woman. The only love of his life." Diana was smiling to herself with this wish before she bumped into their main entrance door.Boom!!"Oh shoot! I was carried away," she murmured, feeling a slight pain in her left foot and knee. She was so immersed in her phone screen that she didn't even look up to see what was before her.Diana rubbed her knee in a massage for a couple of seconds before pressing down
"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."
