"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
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
"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
David slid the door handle with excitement and watched it open widely. Suddenly, his face felt cold when he saw who was standing there."Good morning, ma'am," he greeted his mother-in-law, feeling shocked."What's so good about this morning, you pauper?" she yelled at him harshly."Why didn't you wash my clothes before leaving this house?! And who gave you permission to leave?" she questioned sternly.Words escaped David as he felt stupid and couldn't think of a reply to defend himself. Before he could respond, his face received two heavy slaps in a second."Are you deaf?" Mrs. Elena Wendy, his mother-in-law, asked, coming after the hot slaps.He covered his face with his left hand and felt hurt inside. The pain from the slap ran through his veins deeply. He doubted if what hit him was a lady's palm because it was so hard and tough that it made his upper jaw dropped on his tongue forcefully, resulting in a tear.That morning, he had woken up early and gone to the nearest market to buy
It was 2 PM at Wendy Villa. Every member of the family had gathered, patiently waiting for Granny's arrival. They were engaged in side conversations until they heard the door slam. There was ten seconds of silence before Tony roared, "You fool, why did you slam the door so hard?"It was David who accidentally let the door slip out of his hand and hit it hard. "I'm so sorry," he mumbled, and the whole house hissed at his stupidity. At that moment, his legs felt so heavy that he struggled to take further steps."Hey David!" Diana called him, and he looked up and saw his wife. Mrs. Elena gave her daughter a scornful look, but Diana didn't seem bothered by it.David gained some energy and walked to the vacant seat between Diana and Tony. Tony looked at him derisively and asked, "Why do you stink so much?" scrunching his nose.Diana's look conveyed to David that she wanted him to ignore whatever Tony said."Uhn hun," Granny cleared her throat as she entered and took her seat, which was the
Shock was written on everyone's face. Diana couldn't hold it to herself. She tried to pull his hand down to get him seated but his body was so firm."Granny, don't mind his words, he's sick upstairs!" Diana wailed, looking at him with disgust.Granny's lips curled, she stood and walked to Diana, then whispered "He's in his right senses, don't discourage him."Diana was short of words and watched Granny walked to her husband."Thank you, David." She patted his shoulder until he fell back to his seat. "You are such a brave and helpful son-in-law, I blessed the day you professed love to my granddaughter," she smiled at him.David's heart vibrated in an instant. He was shocked with Granny's comment on his contribution. 'Did she just say I'm a helpful son-in-law? Wow! I've successful changed the thought of being useless from the mind of the Wendy family,' he celebrated his win silently.Mrs. Elena and Tony exchanged glances and smiled at each other quietly. It was obvious they already had
The cool evening sunshine spread across the Wendy's Villa. Mrs. Elena had organized a parlor party to celebrate Diana's birthday, even though she lost interest in it since her husband was now in Mr. Huge's custody.Mrs. Elena and Tony took a comfortable corner to enjoy their drink and have their secret discussion. There were also some other members of the family around. They were served smoothies and sushi by the maids."Tony, you really impressed me today," she teased him with one leg crossed over the other."Huh? You mean?" he asked, taking a sip of his drink."How you brought up the loan suggestion until the dickhead, David fell into it," she praised him delightfully.Tony felt flattered and confessed, "Well, it was just a coincidence. After all, we were able to get the loan and at the same time push out the useless son-in-law out of our family."Tony and Mrs. Elena laughed loudly, capturing everyone's attention."Lest I forget, I invited Mr. William over for the party, but he is n
The Wendy's anniversary party was already two months old. Their chance of paying off the debt is very weak, while David was starving all day in Mr. Huge's custody.Mr. Huge sat on his swivel chair with his phone placed on his big black office table, having a conversation with Granny on loudspeaker.He had ordered one of his boys to bring David to his office to find out the plan the Wendy family had for him. At least for him to know how long he would stay in their custody or how soon he would leave.David stood uncomfortably, with the guy who brought him to the office behind him. The fact that he had not been eating enough was very obvious in his appearance. His eyes had already sunk into his sockets, and the length of his neck was four times what it was when he arrived two months ago.The truth was that the Wendy family didn't even care if he ate or not. They never even left behind any percentage for his feeding.Fortunately for him, he only got the opportunity to taste food when he w
