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
David stepped out of a cab. He was dressed in a white casual shirt and gray trousers. He paid the cabbie and turned towards the entrance of Cicada Hotel.He had asked Camilla to meet him at the hotel by 4 P.M. David arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed time because he values punctuality and doesn't like to be late for appointments.Just as David was about to enter the hotel, he heard a screeching sound of a car entering the hotel's parking lot."Boss!" David turned toward the voice and saw Camilla."Oh, she arrived early too." David smiled slightly to himself.It was clear that Camilla also valued time. She hurriedly approached her boss. She respected David greatly and didn't want to waste a single second of his time. She was indeed time-conscious."Take it easy, Camilla. I think we have enough time.""I know that, sir. But I dare not waste any of your time." She bowed respectfully."Come on! You don't need to do all this, especially when we're outside." David lifted her up fr
Inside the luxurious private room, David sat on a comfy sofa, as did Camilla. A fancy table was in between the two of them. The room was so cool and comfortable.Gazing at the empty table between them, David asked Camilla, "What would you like? This table shouldn't be empty." He stood up and moved close to a fridge in the luxurious room."I think I'm okay, sir," she disclosed.David tilted his head and argued, "You think you are? I disagree."Camilla had a little smile on her face, wondering why her boss was treating her more informally this time. Which was okay with her.It's a great privilege to be with such a billionaire in that atmosphere."Okay, a bottle of water is fine." She didn't want to continue the argument with her boss.David reached for a chilled bottle of water and served her. As long as that was what she had requested and besides, water is life.Camilla took a few sips and pushed her body forward to sit more appropriately. She was still curious about what her boss was
Camilla had the call on speaker as she was speaking with Mr. Phillip. She had explained everything her boss had ordered her to say, and Mr. Phillip had been trying his best to persuade Camilla."Miss, could you please visit our station to help us with further information? I believe you still have a lot to tell us about those criminals," Mr. Phillip had a lot of interest in the case, which was evident in his voice. He had been stressed because of the case and now that he had received helpful information, he didn't want to let Camilla go just like that.Before Camilla made the call, she had first made her number private to avoid any traces of who was calling.David himself planned everything this way because he just wanted to watch all his foes suffer while he hid behind the curtain, seeing them reap what they sowed.David should have just reached out to Camilla over the phone and requested the officer's number, but no, he had other plans. He had invited Camilla over to make the call ri
"It's an honor to have you around, Mr. David." The general manager couldn't control his gleeful smile; he stretched his hand forward for a handshake. He was so happy to see David for the first time.He had to rush to David first while Jessica was speaking with Camilla.Mr. Isaac Greg, the general manager of Cicada Hotel, loves to appreciate customers who patronize their hotel. This is because he knows that there are many other big hotels in the city, such as The Wales Hotel, The Uppertek Hotel, and many more. For that reason, there is a very intense competition among them.One of the strategies Mr. Isaac applied to stay ahead of other hotels is meeting their top customers in person. It doesn't end there; Cicada Hotel also hosts a dinner party once a year, exclusively for their top customers to show appreciation. He believes that all the nice treatment they provide to their customers will make them love the hotel even more.David shook hands with him, trying to figure out who he was. H
Alfred arrived home in the evening after his journey. His facial expression clearly showed how weary and exhausted he was.He got out of the car and forced his legs to walk into Granny's living room. As he entered, his family was in the middle of a serious argument, completely absorbed and not noticing Alfred's entrance.Despite his exhausted state, Alfred tried to figure out what they were arguing about. He squinted his eyes and strained to hear words in the midst of the argument.What surprised him even more was the fact that they were arguing in front of Granny.What disrespect!He was still surprised why the old woman wasn't complaining, only wearing a bitter expression on her face.To his siblings and other family members, it seemed like a crime to speak one after another. Everyone wanted to have their say at the same time.Isn't that crazy? Or are they all high on drugs or something? Can a normal group of people argue like this? How will they get their point across?Alfred was a
He had left the sitting room since they started the unnecessary argument; it wasn't even that crazy when he left."Was that the point he was trying to prove? Or should you apologize to Granny immediately!" Patrick scolded.Upon hearing this, they all exchanged gazes at each other before they all kowtowed in front of the old woman.She didn't even bother to give them a single glance before she muttered in a low voice, "You all should go back to your seats."They insisted at first before the old woman's voice became more intense as she wailed, "Rise and go back to your seats!"Quickly, they stood up and went to their seats not to get the old woman more infuriated.Alfred's father walked closer and asked his son, "Why did the price for the building end up so low?"Alfred turned his gaze to his father as he began to explain, "I've never seen such a problematic situation happen in my life."The whole family fixed their gazes on Alfred upon hearing his first line of the story."This is how
"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."
