Cicada Hotel is one of the biggest and tallest buildings in Glover City. With its height, one could see the whole city while standing on the rooftop.On the rooftop of the hotel, the space was already filled with a lot of VVIP customers. The space was screaming extreme luxury, as it was adorned with twinkling string lights and other fancy lights.The tables were beautifully decorated with floral centerpieces and crystal glassware. All these made the atmosphere elegant and stunning.Among the guests, there was an exchange of pleasantries going on, as well as entertainment and refreshments.As planned earlier by the manager and Jessica, there were enough mouth-watering meals available for the party. Expensive wines from every angle of the world were not excluded either.Each guest was served according to their preference on the menu list. Since the menu was specially made available for them, every one of them was able to make a preferred choice from the list.Succeeding with the proper
Camilla dressed in a stunning yellow evening gown. The dress had diamond stones all around it, which made it more attractive at that hour of the day. The gown was glittering as it met with the illuminated hall.She had a small Chanel evening bag in her right hand, which made her majestic walking so smooth.She also wore fashionable high-heeled shoes, which enhanced her magnificent walking, making it free and easy."Welcome, Miss Camilla." Mr. Greg stood up from his seat to welcome her."I'm sorry, I was a bit late," Camilla pleaded politely as she walked closer to the man."No! I understand how tight your schedule would be. Thank you for attending," Mr. Greg expressed his gratitude.Camilla bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your understanding.""You can have your seat here," Mr. Greg offered.As she passed a gaze down to where the manager pointed, it was a special and more decorated table. There were only two seats around the table."What would you care for? Drinks? Meals? We ha
Meanwhile, outside the hotel, Diana was in the middle of the crowd, fuming and humming. Her mumbling wasn't loud enough for her mother to hear her words, but she could sense that she was making some words with her nose."I never expected it to take so long before you stop this nonsense. Why do you have to act so foolishly every time?" Elena was exasperated with her murmur.What happened was that, since the person who dropped down from the Porsche car wasn't the mysterious man but Miss Camilla of Tutfold PLC, Diana had gone wild.She went mad as soon as she set her eyes on her.She wanted to jump out of the crowd to challenge her without being concerned about whatever damage it might cause. She was just all about her actions.Why was Diana going gaga because of Camilla? She was going crazy because she had once made her experience a grave embarrassment in the past.The embarrassment she encountered the day she went to submit their company's proposal at Tutfold PLC still lived so fresh i
Some minutes later, Diana had wept silently to her satisfaction. After she raised her head, wiping her tears, she noticed a decrease in the population of the crowd.Then, she took a quick turn and saw some of the people leaving one after the other while she was still in the darkness of what was going on.She intended to ask her mother what had happened since, a few minutes ago, she had left her present world for a world known to herself only.She had left for a bizarre world when the sorrow of the uncontrollable situation seeped into her blood, leading to tears.Turning to her mother, she saw her face looking very worried and tired. In a flash, a sudden strike ran through Diana's heart.At this moment, she couldn't measure the love Elena had for her. Despite that, she had always brought a lot of trouble to the woman, sometimes causing her embarrassment and also picking silly arguments with her, yet she still stood by her.If not for Mother's love, Elena wouldn't have been supposed to
Elena was still so worried about how she was able to recognize her so easily, even though she had disguised her look.She was more worried about the fact that Sarah had found her in that current situation. She knew what Sarah was made of - Sarah was the talkative type and also had a loose tongue.Unfortunately for her, she was the type whose lies were usually more than her truths.Elena remembered that she had once told her that she was a regular customer of Cicada Hotel, then she asked her, "Why aren't you inside?"Sarah's composure changed instantly as she asked the question, and she began to feel uncomfortable. She never thought that Elena's worries could give her the chance to remember such a question.Without stressing too long, Sarah replied, "You can see that the entrance is quite crowded, so I couldn't get the opportunity to go inside.""Oh, I see," Elena said, playing along with her as though the main entrance of the hotel was truly crowded.Even though the party was a VVIP d
On the rooftop of the Cicada Hotel, the atmosphere remained elegant and looked so relaxed. It was already getting late, and the party was already coming to an end.Some of the guests were mingling with each other, having business-related talks and other interesting discussions.There were some guests taking pictures of the beautiful moment to keep the memories forever in their hearts.Then Mr. Greg walked up to the stage, feeling so fulfilled. He felt so elated that all the guests had a nice time and had enough fun too.But there was one thing remaining, one of the things that made Mr. Greg so passionate about this party and put all his effort into it.What was that? The arrival of the top VVIP customer of the hotel.Mr. Greg had been feeling so bothered that his special guest hadn't arrived. He remembered that he had agreed to visit the party; why he hadn't arrived at that time was getting him so worried.Then, while on the stage, Mr. Greg called the attention of the attendees as he
The next day began with jaw-dropping news, spreading across the city. The news was about Mr. Steven Huge and the armed robbers who were arrested on St. Paul's street.The news stated that Mr. Huge had a collaboration with the armed robbers in one way or another.Even though the armed robbers never confessed who their boss was to the police, this news broke out of nowhere and spread across Glover City.The news got to David too, and he felt a bit pleased with it. However, he expected such news to be appropriately announced through the police force's official pages and not incomplete mouth-to-ear information spreading around the city.Whatever way, the news is out already, and it's likely progress towards David's revenge journey.Just then, he began to ponder about who the people behind such a secretive matter were, spreading the information around the city so easily.Having a deep thought about it, he remembered some unexpected news had spread across the city about himself too. It wasn'
David remained startled, staring at the article over and over in his utmost shock. At that moment, his brain went so blank that he couldn't think of a thing.He was bewildered and was at a loss for words. He didn't notice that his mouth was wide open in shock, not until saliva dripped out of his mouth onto the screen of his phone.Quickly, he sucked in a cold breath, trying to bring himself back to life. The article still felt like a dream to him.Returning to reality, he exclaimed in confusion, "This is the peak of it, because what?!"David scrolled down through the article without reading a single sentence from it. The heading of the article alone had made him drown in total stupefaction.Then, he began to think deeply about who might be behind all these unexpected articles. Unfortunately, he couldn't arrive at any conclusion.He believed whoever was putting out the article must be up to something. With the look of things, the person knew about all the incidents that had happened to
"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."
