Returning to the old sitting room, two of Snake's boys held the two guys at their napes, turning their faces to the floor. David was already in the sitting room too, and then he ordered, "Pin their faces to the floor!" The boys pinned their heads down more to the floor while David walked past them. He headed to the two rooms and surveyed around in a few minutes. Shortly, he returned to the sitting room, standing behind the two guys. With a few minutes of survey, he was able to confirm that he was at the right place. "Free their necks!" David ordered. Immediately, the boys freed them and moved backward, and David moved closer to Snake and whispered in his ear. Then he and his boys gently exited the sitting room, waiting for David outside. As soon as they left, David turned around to the two guys whose heads remained pinned to the floor. They were shivering and trembling with utmost shock. It was as though they had a gun pointed at their heads. David wondered why they wer
David wasn't out of a state of stupefaction at the disclosure. He had never once thought that anyone knew about the information Gerald had just disclosed.He had always thought that the only person who knew about the incident, apart from him, was the guy who threw him over the fence. Hearing this from Gerald now proved his thought wrong.With the information he heard now, it already proved that they were the ones pulling out the articles.As for Gideon, he wasn't still convinced by the narration. What would someone who was buoyant enough to gift him $15,000 be doing in Huge's custody?It didn't even end there; he was also humiliated to an unbelievable extent.Gideon needed more explanation; he was staring at David, waiting for him to say something about it.In between the puzzlement, David asked Gerald, "How did you find out about this?"He sighed as he began, "I know that you might not recognize me at Huge's custody, but I was once a victim trapped under their cruelty too.""On that
Gerald cleared his throat as he began to explain, "Some months ago, our mother was diagnosed with a kidney problem, and we were charged the sum of $300,000 for her treatment at the hospital."A deep sigh echoed in the room."Unfortunately, we couldn't afford the fee we were charged, as I was only a newly graduated student, while Gideon worked as a cab driver.""Pathetically, we were not born with a silver spoon, so we didn't have any inheritance that we could sell to have enough money to pay the bill. Neither do we have a family member who could help us out.""The only property our father left for us before he died was this house. For that, we had to come up with an idea.""We love our mother so dearly that we couldn't afford to lose her. Then, we came up with the idea to take a loan from Mr. Huge."David's eyes went so gentle in pity as he was listening to the heartbreaking story."We loaned the $300,000 for the treatment, while I was the guarantor at Huge's company. Unfortunately, a
As soon as David saw this, his interest grew wider to know what had caused the protest.Soon, he drove his car forward a little, and then he saw some reporters in front of the crowd, interviewing the protesters.With that, he knew the news would already find its way to the internet.Then, he found a space and parked his car. Picking up his phone, he found multiple notifications had popped up. He quickly clicked on it, and what he saw was a live video of the protesters as they continued to chant loudly in the video.Their voices were steeped with frustration and worries. David was trying to pick out what their pain was, but the statements were interweaving into each other, so he couldn't find an answer to his curiosity.Just then, the camera returned to one of the protesters who was being interviewed. It was a lady in her late 40's; she began to explain,"Mr. Huge fooled us into investing in some high-return investment plans several months ago. However, it had been a month since we sho
There was different news flying around Glover City since Mr. Huge was in police custody.A day didn't pass without the case making the news for over a couple of weeks.It was a case of cautiousness and expertise for the police force. However, they were able to uncover some secrets about the case gradually, with a deeper investigation.In the process, Lady Wendy was invited by the police for an interrogation, but the old woman's health didn't permit her to visit the station. Although Tony Wendy went to represent her.Unexpectedly, the interview went tense beyond his expectations. He was sternly questioned why they had remained silent since David Anderson was missing, probably because they worked hand in hand with Mr. Huge to kill the innocent young man.Luckily, Tony was able to defend himself by providing the article they posted on their company's official pages, which stated how hard they had been trying their best to find David, even though it was a lie far away from the truth.None
The court proceedings had begun while the first case was being addressed. It was the case of Mr. Huge's microfinance bank, which had been exploiting the public with a fake high-return investment plan.With the evidence provided by the prosecutor, Mr. Huge was found guilty of the accusation.Although the defendant's attorney tried his best to convince Judge James to take another look at the case, the truth was that the evidence against Mr. Huge was sufficient, and the Judge couldn't attempt partiality.Even though it seemed there was a secret relationship between Judge James, Don Clinton, and Mr. Huge, the case arguments didn't end up in Mr. Huge's favor.The victims were called out in numbers, clarifying how they had been lured into the fraudulent investment packages by Huge's microfinance bank.They were all expressing their pain and the problems the fake investment plans had caused them.It was so disheartening that Huge's microfinance bank had denied them their dividends at the agr
Mr. Huge couldn't believe that the prosecutor would have a bit of evidence against him, let alone have enough of it, as he had just explained.However, he was impatiently waiting for him to present the evidence he had obtained.In a flash, the whole courtroom saw a private website displayed on the projector. They all saw Steven Huge's verified name at the top of the screen, with all his registered companies listed under it.As soon as Mr. Huge saw this, his face tightened in anger, and he gritted his teeth almost to the point of disintegration.Then, Mr. Thompson began to explain, "Here is the private website where all the workers working under Steven Huge are recorded." He continued to scroll down while the whole courtroom watched.Mr. Kenneth was so bewildered as to how his opponent had obtained such secretive and concrete evidence.Mr. Huge's eyes were already red as fire. He was utterly shocked and couldn't imagine how the prosecutor had been able to gain access to his well-secure
The defense attorney had put his best together and made a plea on behalf of Mr. Huge. Unfortunately, the trial wasn't granted, as Huge's previous bad records deprived him of the chance.Then, the court proceeded to the last case. The case of Steven Huge being accused of killing the live-in son-in-law of the Wendy family.This was the case that had a lot to do with many people in the courtroom. All the Wendy family members were willing to see where the case was heading.They all hoped the case would favor them, as Mr. Huge had taken their property and also killed their son-in-law. Even though they cared less about the son-in-law, they still wished to get some of their properties back, if not everything.As the properties were more important to them than the son-in-law's life.Mr. Thompson was on his feet, explaining, "The investigation shows that a family in this city volunteered the innocent son-in-law, who was killed by Steven Huge, to his loan company as a guarantor. As that was one
"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."
