Daniel was silent when he saw Joseph laughing so hard. The young man's laughter was louder than before. But he didn't care what the noble youth thought. Leaning his back against the wall, Daniel crossed his arms across his chest. After a while, he said casually, without the slightest expression of fear or distress on his face. "Just so you know, I never go back on my word! I'll pay you five hundred million dollars in cash. Right now!" What? This answer was like a bolt of lightning striking Joseph's body. He felt that he didn't have the strength to hold his body after what he had just heard. What did this stupid young man say? He won't just pay the deposit? The young man is even going to pay the entire amount today! No! That's not possible! Daniel couldn't possibly have saved that much money. "Y-You! You! Don't even think about lying to me!" he snapped. Still, his tone sounded extremely nervous. He still couldn't believe what Daniel said. But that was no longer Daniel's concern.
At six o'clock in the evening, in a mansion located on the outskirts of the city. A large dining table, covered with various kinds of food, was surrounded by several people - men and women, young and old - sitting on their chairs. They were enjoying their meal and occasionally chatting about what they had been doing during the day. The people gathered were members of the Insignia family, a highly respected noble family of the rank of Earl in the city of Tectona. Among them was Charles. He was the head of the family. But despite his seniority, he was not the oldest member of the family present, it was his mother who was still alive. Charles had three sons - William, Marc and Peter - who were all in fair competition to be the next head of the family. After a while, everyone finished eating and began to leave the table one by one. When it was the turn of William, the eldest son, to leave the table, Charles stopped him. "Please sit down for a moment! I have something I want to talk
When Clara mentioned the name, Peter and Marc looked at the girl and seemed to think for a moment. Then they both gasped almost simultaneously. "Yes! That's right!" "That's his full name. Do you know this young man? Is he your friend?" Peter asked, looking deeply at Clara. At Clara's side, the girl couldn't believe what her two uncles were saying. Clara didn't answer the question. She looked very surprised. "Daniel? Is it really him?" Clara's mind wondered. Seeing that his granddaughter was silent, Charles couldn't resist asking her as well. "Clara, do you know Daniel?" The question finally managed to wake Clara up. "Y-yes, Grandpa! I know him," Clara replied shortly. The girl tried to overcome her nervousness. While everyone stared at Clara, William turned to stare at his father and two younger siblings. "Are you sure this young man's name is Daniel Elrod? There is only one person with that name at Tectona University. I do not think this young man is who you think he is." Wi
One morning in a corner of Tectona University, a young woman sat on a long chair in front of a building, looking up at the front door. The building was ten floors high and looked very nice and clean. On the front, above the entrance, it said 'Zeus Male Student Dormitory'. This building is one of several buildings in the men's dormitory complex. Besides Zeus, some of the other dormitories are called Poseidon, Hades and Apollo. The buildings are actually named after the gods of history. Each name indicates their specialisation. Zeus' dormitory is for students studying the heavens and space. Poseidon's dormitory is for those who study the sea. While Hades is for students of Earth Sciences, Apollo is for students of Arts and Culture. Although the girl was wearing sunglasses and a mask that covered half of her face, her beauty was still evident. With a pair of short jeans that showed off her smooth and shapely legs, the girl wore a pink jacket that was left open to reveal a short and ti
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Clara," Henderson replied with an equally sweet smile.A few moments later they arrived at the back door of the building. As soon as Henderson opened the door, an absolutely breathtaking view was presented to their eyes.Especially for Clara, the girl even had to cover her mouth in amazement at the beauty of the garden that lay in front of her."Wow, I didn't expect the backyard of the Zeus men's dorm to be so amazing!" Clara squealed in amazement.It was not the first time the girl had seen such a beautiful garden. She lived in the Zeus women's dormitory, which had the same kind of scenery as well.However, a year ago, a famous architect in the capital who was used to designing city parks had renovated the back garden of the Zeus men's dormitory. With his skills, he transformed this place into a piece of heaven.The garden is arranged in a unique layout. All around the park, there are small paths lined with cypress trees on both sides. Then, in the cente
After that, Fernando gave an order to the other two young men. "You two, open the door of the warehouse right now!" The two young men did not answer, but both of them immediately did what Fernando had ordered them to do. Hearing this, Clara panicked even more. She tried to pull her hand away from Henderson. But the young man tightened his grip even more. "Henderson, let go of me! If you don't, I'll have you reported to the campus authorities!" was Clara's plea. "Hahaha, do you think I'm afraid? Go ahead and report me! Just so you know, I have a thousand ways to avoid punishment. So don't even think about threatening me!" Henderson said with a grin. "Henderson, please! Please let me go! I promise that I won't say anything about this to anyone and I will pretend that nothing has ever happened between us," Clara said. The girl's face looked very tense at the moment. "Really?" asked the young man. "Yes!" was Clara's answer firmly. "Well, I'll let you go. But only after we're done
"Hey, asshole, get out of here!" said one of Fernando's friends with a clenched fist. The young man was about to step forward to teach Daniel a lesson. But before he could get started, Fernando stopped him from doing so. "Leave him alone!" Fernando gave Daniel a sharp look. "What do you want, brave young man?" he teased. "Let go of the girl! Let me take her away! You shouldn't stain the honor of Tectona University with your lowly deeds!" Daniel replied without any trace of fear. "Why should we? Is she your girlfriend?" asked Fernando again, with a condescending look on his face. "That's none of your business! You better start thinking about what kind of punishment you're going to get for attacking a girl." With that said, Daniel walked a little closer to Clara's body. He didn't seem to give a damn about Fernando and his friends. But before Daniel could reach Clara's body, Fernando suddenly and unexpectedly stood in front of him. "In all my years as a student in this place, no one
What? How is that possible? Daniel, who was lying on the ground, looked at Fernando in disbelief. The young man did not seem to be affected in the slightest, even though Daniel had put all of his strength into his fist. Even the fingers of Daniel's right hand were now sore, and his arm as a whole seemed to be a bit numb. Daniel really had the feeling that he had just hit a brick wall. Immediately, his memory flashed back to his fight with Antony a few days earlier. When Daniel had punched the young man in the face, it had been as if he had hit the same thing, a very solid object. Daniel felt like he was slamming his hand against a wall. Now Daniel believed that both Antony and Fernando had the same qualities. Their bodies were both hard like solid objects. But it was not only Antony and Fernando. The two bodyguards of Antony, who were guarding him at that time, had the same special abilities as well. However, their abilities are still below Antony's. This explains why Daniel wa
