"Oh, damn!" David was panting heavily on the floor, fighting for his breath. He wondered why the system gave him this kind of cruel task.His eyes were so blurry at this time. He was in so much doubt if he could continue the deadly task.He was still on the floor for five minutes straight, battling to catch his breath. He placed his right hand on his chest and he could feel how his heart was racing so fast. It was crazy, this would be his first time trying such a thing.Deadlifting a 300kg weight isn't child's play. It will take a long time of gradual practice before one would be able to lift such weight. Now, the system had placed him on the challenge and it must be carried out.He bit his lower lip into his mouth and he was breathing heavily through his nose. That wasn't enough so he had to open his mouth widely, fighting for oxygen.Soon, he felt a bit relieved and stood from the floor. He walked out of the workout room to get chilled water. He drank some and gained some strength b
David had his palms placed on the floor, with his hands wider than his shoulders. His fingers were pointing straight ahead with his face looking down while he made sure his head and neck were in a straight line with his back.Then he extended his leg backward to form a straight line with his back. He moved his feet close to each other, balancing himself on the balls of his feet.Now he's ready to go, but it seems he hasn't got the balancing right as he fell back on the exercise mat, letting out a huge breath from his mouth."What a challenge," he muttered in a low tone. He wishes he could beg the system to let him skip all these remaining tasks and just let him enjoy his video game.He believed that even if he needed some exercise, it shouldn't be as tough as this.He has 100 push-ups to do, and he hasn't even successfully done one of them.At this instant, he decided to take a better rest before trying again. He sat up, took a gulp from his water bottle, and wiped his sweat.He hasn'
David was on the road, driving to a recreation center to carry out the remaining tasks. He still had so much doubt in his mind if he would be able to complete the tough tasks.He just had to keep on moving, even if he still had fear in his heart.The penalty behind the mission if he refused to complete it was what kept banging in his head.He was gradually getting worried about what was running through his mind that he nearly forgot he was on the road, driving.He was brought back to his senses when he wanted to step on the brake pad but stepped on the acceleration pad instead."Oh my goodness, what's wrong with me?" He questioned himself as he quickly stepped on the brake pad.He nearly hit a car in front of him due to his mistake. If he hadn't been blessed with good driving skills, he might have lost it at that spot.After a few minutes of driving, he caught sight of a group of ladies in a shouting competition. There were ten of them. Nine of the ladies circled around a quiet-lookin
"I appreciate your offer, sir. I just want to..." Sandra was trying to reject the offer because she wasn't feeling too well in her mind with what had just happened. Before she finished her words, David cut in."I know exactly how you are feeling. I saw everything that happened between you and the other ladies." Sandra's eyes widened as she heard him say that. She never knew that he saw what had happened.Suddenly, she had a worried-looking face. The displeasure was more evident in her eyes now. Each of her eyelids was filled with bitterness. She had a quick picture of the scenario again, till the tears at the corner of her eyes nearly found their way out."You don't have to be so worried, hop in the car!" David was feeding her with hope. He was still surprised at how modest she was.He knew women love luxuries, but it seems Sandra has a high-class personality. Despite having a slight view of how wealthy David was, she wasn't moved by the wealth.She was the one who attended to him whe
She intended to reject the offer because many men in the past had come her way, offering help in exchange for her body. This made her skeptical about David's intentions as well.She had a new perspective on David when she remembered the day he came to buy the house. He was dressed so poorly that no one would have thought he could spend $30 million on an apartment.She even thought that someone else sent him to search for the house and purchase it in their name. But she was proven wrong when the name on the receipt matched the one on the payment.She first had doubts when she saw him in an expensive car, but there's always a difference in your attitude when you truly own a car versus pretending to.What she concluded about him was that he was just one of those young rich men who prefer to live a low-key lifestyle."I haven't concluded anything yet," she struggled to say.David understood what was running through her mind. He knew she would have ideas and worries, especially about the f
When he walked out of the door, his eyes went straight to the tower. A participant was about to jump down."3...2...1" The instructor counted as the participant jumped into the air with a backflip."What!" David's eyes were blinking with so much shock."That's crazy." He added as he watched the participant dip into the river below the tower. In a second, the elastic rubber snapped back as he did another bounce.David was startled by how the participant was flexing around with the scary sport."Well, it's fun for you. It's a task for me." He mumbled as he couldn't move his eyes away from the tower.When the first participant was done, another person went to the jump deck. She had the harness tied to her leg, unlike the previous person who had it around his waist.David could read the nervousness in the lady's eyes. It seemed like it was her first time too. He couldn't wait to see how she would handle the fear.She gazed at the river beneath the tower and held her head tightly. The fear
David was now at the tower, precisely at the jump deck. He had the harness fixed around his feet and all the necessary safety procedures had been taken.He was gazing at the very deep river beneath the tower, which made his eyes tremble.The height was crazier than he had expected. The height wasn't as long as that when he was watching the other jumpers a few minutes ago. And if it's this high, how were they able to do the jump like it was nothing?Now, he was at the jump deck, having a real view of the height. Suddenly, he felt his heart racing faster than before, and the view before him had grabbed his attention tightly.'Am I scared of doing this?' He questioned in his mind, as his facial expression was unexplainable.'I thought I said I was bold and courageous a few minutes ago?' He gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction and forced a lump down his throat."Are you okay?" The instructor asked, noticing the sudden change in his face.The instructor was surprised to find his eyes twitc
Within a couple of minutes, he was lectured about the sport. The instructor was actually full of knowledge about it. He looked like someone in his 40s but still vibrant and strong.After the lecture, he headed into an airplane with his instructor. They had all the necessary equipment along, from the harness to the glasses and helmet.Of course, David had all sorts running through his mind but it's the last task. He just has to get it completed before the time runs out.In a few minutes, the airplane began to run on the runway, and before he knew what was happening, it flew up into the sky."How are you feeling?" The instructor inquired."Well, I think I'm a little bit scared." David disclosed."Being scared is part of the sport. Be assured that you're safe since I will stay behind you to guide you.""Yeah, I know. It's just so crazy as I have a lot of crazy pictures in my head right now."The instructor understood all he was saying beyond his explanation as he continued to assure him,
"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."
