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,
A new week began. Alfred was seen in an office, seated with some documents in front of him. He was busy with the files as he read through them.Very early that morning, he had traveled to the next city where their under-constructed company is located. He had traveled there because the Wendy family had decided to sell off the property to pay off their loan.They shouldn't have bothered about selling it; they should have just handed over the property to Mr. Huge in exchange for their loan repayment.But they didn't do it that way because they believed the property would be worth hundreds of million dollars.Although they haven't spent such a huge sum on the property, they all expected it to add value as long as it's a building.So it would have been unwise if they submitted the under-constructed company document to Mr. Huge. It would be more like paying him more than the loan they took.They should have sold the property at first to make use of the money for the anniversary celebration,
"What's going on? What could have been the reason they had a change of mind?" Alfred was asking himself all these questions as he was finding it difficult to understand the sudden change from their end.He was quite worried about it because the chat he had with them was still the smoothest among all the companies and individuals who showed interest in the property.His worries grew bigger because he felt like, if the company who showed the highest interest could change their mind, it means the deal isn't safe with the ones who show a little interest. Maybe there is a problem somewhere that the Wendy Group didn't have knowledge about.As he was having all sorts running around his head, his phone began to ring. Quickly, he checked for the caller but the number wasn't familiar. Without hesitation, he picked it up, pressing the phone to his ear."Hello," his voice was in a mid tone."Yes, sir. I'm at the site now, I can't find you."Alfred had a chill run through his spine upon hearing th
Alfred gripped his head in anger as all sorts of thoughts ran through his mind. It felt as though his head would explode at any moment. Mr. Lewis's words echoed in his mind, driving him to the brink of madness."What is all this nonsense?" he muttered through gritted teeth, enraged and indignant.His irritation grew with each passing moment. He wished Mr. Lewis were his age; he wouldn't have hesitated to deliver a resounding slap.Although he knew it was impossible, countless thoughts raced through his mind.How could he slap a client just because he mentioned an unfavorable price? It was unthinkable. After all, it was just business, right?But for Alfred, it was more than just business. The property held all their hopes, the means to pay off their debts and revive their business.The Wendy Group had already collapsed, so if they had some millions left after paying Mr. Huge, they could rebuild.The building was the only way out for the Wendy family. They couldn't tolerate selling it f
David was on a call on his balcony. The voice at the other end was a lady's voice. The voice was very soft and warm, giving off a romantic vibe.The owner of the voice was Sandra. Ever since David had helped her home, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She was amazed at how sympathetic and caring he was.She was particularly curious as to why David had asked about the business she would like to do so that he could help. It was surprising, considering that he only knew her as a sales representative for a housing company. That was the extent of their relationship. If it was because she attended to him well, then it was clear that she was just doing her job.However, Sandra called to express her gratitude for him taking the time to drive her home the other day. She understood how precious time was to someone like him.She intended to speak softly over the phone, as it was a new morning and everything had to be gentle."Do you sleep well, sir?" Sandra asked, her voice cool and calm.Da
"I can't pay more than $15 million for this building."Alfred was startled upon hearing this. His brain refused to process the message on time. He had a mixture of feelings at the moment. He was feeling so irritated with the man before him. He was also feeling disappointed and devastated too.The man before him was the interested buyer whom he had told his family members about, Mr. Kelvin Cargill.'Why would an interested buyer price this building at just $15 million? Isn't that wickedness?''Okay... What if he had no interest? How much would he have priced it for?'All of this was going through Alfred's mind before the man broke him out of his reverie."Why is it taking you forever to say something? I don't have much time to spend here."Alfred heaved a heavy sigh before he said, "The price for the building is $50 million. Be considerate, Mr. Kelvin."The man widened his eyes; it seems he was surprised by what Alfred just said."Of course, I'm being considerate enough. Don't you thin
"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."
