Diana's curiosity had run wild now. Since Huge and the rest had gone to the car garage, she had been unable to peek at what was happening."Holy shit!" she cursed aloud.She wanted everything to happen right in front of her. She just wished her family could get out of the mess. The problem had been with them for a while now, and if it could be solved today, it would be a great relief for everyone.She moved briskly back to the table where she had dropped her phone. She gazed at the screen, but she hadn't received any reply from William."What exactly is going on? Why isn't he picking up? Why isn't he replying to my text? I hope nothing bad happened to him."She began to feel fear and worry in her heart. She was damn afraid that Huge and his boys might harm her family. Now the fear had doubled because she didn't know why her lover was not answering his phone."Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe he might be driving or he might be... I don't even know!" She slammed her thigh with her left
'Oh, what a wonderful suggestion!' Granny commented ironically in her mind.She had been so curious about the kind of suggestion Huge would give them. But without being told, they should have known that the suggestion would only be in his own favor.Huge doesn't really have any blame. If the family had paid his money, he wouldn't have been helping them with any further suggestion.The two cars Huge pointed at were the only source of pride remaining for the family. The first car was a Range Rover that belongs to Granny. They had another BMW 520 which both Alfred and Tony use to run errands for the company.They should have sold the cars and used the money for their celebration, but that doesn't seem nice to them.Again, they should have thought of selling the cars to pay Mr. Huge since the first time he came threatening them, but wouldn't their villa look so empty without cars?How would such a big villa have no cars in it? It's not good enough for the family.If they actually sell the
"Can we request a favor from you, sir," Alfred asked politely."A favor? Okay, I'm all ears."Alfred took a two-second pause before making his request, "I want you to give us the grace to find a new buyer for the car. We promise to forward the remaining balance we owe you immediately it's sold."The family all wore the same facial expression. They all agreed to Alfred's request. At least if they find a better buyer for it, it will be more helpful to them.Huge, who was glaring at Alfred, suddenly scoffed and uttered, "What do you think I came here to do? To play around with your family?" Huge was shaking his head in irritation as he continued."I'm sure you can't deny that I didn't give you enough time to make my money available before today. I've waited enough so I don't have any extra time left for such." Huge declared."Have mercy on us, Mr. Huge." Elena was the one pleading."I just know how wicked you are!" He was pointing at the whole family. Huge was already at the verge of rag
Victoria began to explain, "The BMW 520 was first manufactured in the year 1972. Some years later, it grew up to being a reliable and recommendable car. With that, there was an increased in the demand, which led to an increment in the price. At that time, it cost $5.7 million. However, the current price is $8 million.""I guess you know what it's worth to me." Huge tossed at them while the family were all staring at him with their eyes screaming for help.Alfred moved closer to her family members and whispered, "If Mr. Huge should take this car for $4 million. That means we still have $4 million to balance. Don't you think that this man had just robbed us right in front of our faces?"They all exchanged glances and felt Alfred made a point."But there's nothing we can do in this situation. We can only be saved from this if we had never gone to Huge to take a loan or if we had paid off his money before his arrival here today." Granny was explaining."Does that mean we will just fold ou
Diana, whose heart was still filled with trouble and confusion, didn't stop dialing William's number over and over.After she had tried several times and it was to no avail, she quickly thought about reaching him through his social media account.Reaching him through the phone line was expected to be faster than through the social media account, but this time, what really mattered was reaching William. Whatever means she used to reach him didn't matter.She got to the message box and typed out:"HEY BABY, ARE YOU OKAY? I'VE TRIED YOUR LINE SEVERAL TIMES BUT YOU'RE NOT PICKING UP. I TEXTED YOUR LINE TOO BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY REPLY. I TRIED SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY SLEEPING, BUT THIS IS OFFICE HOURS. I ASSUMED THAT YOU MIGHT BE ON THE ROAD DRIVING TOO. WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE, KINDLY CALL ME IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE BECAUSE MY HEART IS SO TROUBLED AND I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT YOU. I LOVE YOU, BABY."She clicked on the send button and the message flew.
Granny glanced at her children and couldn't find a single ounce of hope on their faces. They all looked weary and tired of living.Mr. Huge was still around with his men, waiting for the remaining $3 million.'Why can't Huge just spare the $3 million? After all, he has made more than enough money from the cars he took,' Granny thought.But to Mr. Huge, they had already made an agreement and it must be fulfilled. It should have been easy for him to take his eyes off the balance, but his company only runs a business, they don't run a charity."Will you be pleased if I take action myself?" Mr. Huge frowned. The Wendy family's hesitation had been so irritating since he arrived. He expected them to improve, but they just kept growing more annoying."Pardon us for whatever mess we have caused you today." Granny pleaded, "I will be back in a few minutes." She turned to leave."I don't have the whole day." Huge's facial expression didn't change.Mrs. Elena squinted her eyes in confusion. 'Whe
The next day, Jessica was seen at Isaac Gregg's office. They had been in conversation for a while before Isaac raised a matter."How do you think we can make our next VVIP customer's dinner party more lovely this time?"Jessica remained silent; it was obvious she was trying to think of something helpful to say."Actually, all the previous ones we did were absolutely beautiful, but I just want this one to be even better than usual. As you know, The Cicada hotel today is bigger than it was yesterday." Isaac had a little smile on his face as he ended the statement.The annual VVIP dinner party is just around the corner, and Isaac has already begun making the necessary arrangements. Jessica has been one of his favorite staff members because she has helped the hotel grow bigger with her warm approach towards every customer.With her pleasant attitude, they usually attract 10 to 15 VVIP customers weekly. That's indeed a big win for Cicada hotel.As a result, their monthly revenue keeps swel
"I have some information for you, sir.""Oh, okay. I'm listening." David's voice was loud and clear at the other end of the phone."Actually, we have an annual dinner party specially for all our VVIP customers. We host the party as a form of gratitude from us to all of you. As a special customer that you are, we would be so glad to have you there on that day, sir," Jessica explained."Oh, that would be nice. I love meeting new people too, so I think I'm interested in it.""We can't wait to have you there, sir." Her lips curved slightly with a smile."My pleasure. Cicada Hotel serves me the best meal in the whole city so I'm down for it."Jessica felt flattered hearing that. Isaac also had a happy look upon hearing it too. The phone was on speaker so he could hear the conversation."We will never cease to stop serving you with the most tasteful meal, sir. We appreciate you for being our top VVIP customer and also accepting our little form of gratitude.""Never mind, Jessica. You are su
"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."
