Elena was sitting on the super polished tiled floor of Granny's living room, crying so badly. All her family members were around her looking at her with so much pity.Elena had been unable to explain herself since she arrived. As soon as she wanted to make an attempt to explain. "I was.. It was..." She burst into another round of tears.The more she remembered how she was embarrassed out of the market, the more her tears welled up."We can't stand here and watch you cry till the day runs out, what happened?" Patrick voice had a touch of sympathy. He had erased the fact that she had used her ruthless tongue on him before she went out.That's the power of being a family. Nothing can be compared to a family bond.Elena at this time was trying to sniff back her tears so that she could explain herself. Alfred stretched a handkerchief to her, she collected it to wipe her tears and the mucus dropping down her nose.Despite that she had wiped her tears, her eyes were still looking so wet and
Diana returned with a glass of water and poured some into the old woman's mouth, while her mother and Patrick stood behind her, supporting her body to prevent her from falling.As soon as she drank the water, she had another slight cough. "Coughs...""Take it easy on yourself, mother," Patrick urged.As soon as the old woman regained a little strength, she stood up and snapped at her children, "Get away from me, I'm still strong and healthy." She coughed again, and Elena and her elder brother wanted to rush to her before she scolded them,"I said, stay away from me!""We're sorry, mother," Patrick apologized as he bowed slightly.Elena wondered how the old woman managed to walk from her room to the living room despite her illness. She wanted to ask about it, but she thought it might sound stupid to ask at that moment.Granny slowly walked to her seat and sat, staring at them all."Why do you all want me dead?" Granny asked, making all her children raised their heads and look at each o
Later in the evening, at The Golden Hour clubhouse, William Blatt was in a corner of the VIP lounge, having a nice time.On his table were expensive drinks like Belvedere vodka, vintage wines, rare spirits, and the like.Beside him, he had a sexy, curvaceous lady leaning close to him. The lady was whispering seductively into his ears, but he hardly heard what she was saying due to the RnB music playing in the background.Not that the music was very loud, but the lady's voice was moderately loud and seductive. It seemed she was experiencing sexual arousal due to the excessive alcohol intake.William understood how she was feeling, but he wasn't ready for that at the moment. He only came to the clubhouse to get drunk and have fun.He only gave her a slight smile in response under the dimmed lighting of the lounge. The atmosphere was very calm and inviting.The decor in the VIP lounge was elegant and breathtaking, with high-end furniture and artworks.William refilled the two glass cups
William knew Huston has so many cars and he had mentioned to him several times that he also has many houses. What might have happened to them?"When I was at the hospital, after I spent all the money in my bank account on treatment, my health condition still remained very critical. I was left with nothing else but my properties. I just had to sell them to help myself."William had a raised eyebrow upon hearing that. "Wow, that must be very serious!" He was very skeptical about what Huston said but he had to hide it.'Could that be true?' He began to ponder over it. He had a slight idea of how good he was at delivering believable lies, but the matter at hand was different. This involved his life. Could he be lying about this, too? Even if he had to lie to others about it, did he have to lie to a very close friend as well?'If I were to count his cars, he has up to 4 cars. How could he sell all 4 cars that would be worth millions to treat himself? He once told me he had some houses too,
A guy, who was sitting on a steel chair, shook his head in worries. He had been gazing at the floor for a while now before he heard an interrogating voice erupted."What are your targets at St. Paulo's Street that night?"The guy lifted his head instantly, staring at Mr. Phillip who had been interviewing him for some minutes now."We only went there to.." The guy mumbled a reply then took a pause feeling irritated of his own words.Who is this guy being interviewed by Mr. Phillip? It was Noel, one of the armed robbers in the police custody. He was brought to the interrogation room for some questioning."I'm all ears, talk to me." Mr. Phillip was so calm with him. He was trying to make him feel relaxed and unpressured till he would eventually spilled out the whole truth.The reason behind the light torture they were given the other day was due to some new information that got to the police about more crimes they had committed.They had been disturbing the peace of the city with their a
Mr. Philip scoffed, staring at Noel's foolishness. "So, why were you all fighting?""Just a misunderstanding, I told you already." It seems Noel was getting angry."Are you trying to say you're not guilty of the accusation?" Mr. Philip was surprised of his drama."I know nothing about all you were saying." Noel remained adamant on his point."Oh, I see. What do you know about the incident that happened at The Old Sunflower Road?"Noel had a shock upon hearing this question. 'The Old Sunflower Road' His mind had a flash of the operation they did there.They successfully robbed up to ten people within a few minutes. That operation was one of the smoothest ones they have ever done."I don't know what you are talking about." He was never ready to agree to all the accusations.Mr. Philip was just wondering how can someone be so stupid to himself and thought that he was smart. He doesn't bother to argue with him, then ha asked again."What do you have to say about the young lady you robbed
One serene afternoon, David was relaxing in his home when his phone began to ring. He reached for it to see who it was."Oh, Sandra." His face widened with a beautiful smile. He answered the call, pressing the phone to his ear."Good afternoon, sir." Sandra's voice came with utmost respect from the other side of the phone."How are you, Sandra? I guess you are fine?" David asked."I'm okay, sir. I want to appreciate every single thing you've done in my life. I'm so grateful." Her voice was filled with gratitude."Oh, no, Sandra. I don't think this is necessary." David had a slight smile.'Huh? What? Did he just say my appreciation is not necessary? How? Who is this man? Does it mean $150 million means nothing to him?' While she was having the thought, she scolded herself.'What the heck am I even saying? If $150 million means so much to him, he wouldn't be able to give it out freely. I would like to know more about this man.'"I don't think it's right for me not to appreciate your gen
The store was specially designed in a modern way that looks so lovely and simple. David's eyes looked straight down till the end of the store and he couldn't believe his eyes.The way the shoes were showcased added more beauty to them. At this point, David couldn't hold it any longer as he commented, "This is the best I've ever seen!"Sandra, who had been watching the befuddlement in David's eyes, began to blush as he made the comment. She had butterflies in her belly at this time."Oh! I'm glad!" she cheers in excitement and wore a wide smile. "I'm glad I was able to put out my best.""You did, Sandra. This is wonderful! So brilliant!" The more David dropped those comments, the more Sandra was getting choked with excitement.She feels like screaming so loud till her voice will be heard on the next planet. Yes, that was how her mind was filled with excitement.She should have actually done the screaming right away! But that would be insane. Why does she have to scream in front of the
"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."
