The Unexpected Ultimacy

It was 8:30 PM at Skyline Restaurant. Michael Quinn, a waiter, was seen before a simply decorated table in the regular dining area of the restaurant.He looked so stressed and tired, with his uniform drenched in sweat. This was because the day's shift had been so hectic for him.Despite how tired he was, he still took the time to decorate a table to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.He made this warm arrangement as a surprise for his girlfriend, Hannah Walmer.Michael and Hannah had been dating since their last year at university. Since then, he had wished to celebrate her birthday elaborately. Unfortunately, his account balance had never allowed him to do so.However, Michael had worked hard to make today different.As one of the lowest-paid waiters at Skyline Restaurant, he was able to make this day exceptional by spending all his savings.Michael rose to his feet, gazing at his beautiful handiwork. A soft smile appeared on his tired face, yet he felt fulfilled.The table was cov

The rain continued to pour heavily, beating down on Michael, yet he wasn't feeling it. The pain of rejection and humiliation engulfed him.He stared at the ground beneath him, and a sad smile appeared on his face."I've lived all my life in pain and poverty. I will find peace down here," Michael's voice cracked.He was heartbroken and wished his parents had been rich too. He could have lived off his inheritance.He snapped his left hand to his chest, grabbing the only inheritance his parents left for him: a jade pendant.He pulled at it, and the necklace broke off. He clutched the jade pendant tightly in his palm.He remembered what his mother had told him about the pendant: "With this pendant, your potential is limitless."Michael swallowed a forceful lump down his throat and felt his mother's remark about the pendant was just a fallacy.Michael opened his hand, gazing at the jade pendant. "Whether you're worthy or not, today will be the end of everything."The tears he had been hold

Vivian's face widened in panic. She was so afraid that Michael would be injured because he wanted to defend her.She would put a stop to the attack instantly if she had the capacity. Unfortunately, time can never be retrieved.Meanwhile, Michael's eyes closed shut, and he heard the robotic voice.[Make a wish and consider it granted in a millisecond.]Michael remembered everything that happened last night and whispered, "I wish to become the greatest martial artist in the world."Ding!In a flash, the hologram appeared, and he could see it in his mind.[Congratulations, Michael Quinn. You're now the greatest martial artist in the world.]Michael felt a surge of energy flow into his memory. Numerous fighting techniques were popping up in his mind.Then his eyes opened wide, grabbing Blade's fist with ease. "You made a wrong move." Michael spat on his face before breaking his wrist."Arghh!!" Blade groaned as his wrist made a cracking sound. "Bam!" Michael's punch landed hard on his che

A stare of admiration fell on Michael from every angle. They wondered why a billionaire like him chose to disguise himself by wearing cheap clothes. Jack's hoes moved away from him, finding him disgusting. They all wished they could lure Michael into their arms and make him theirs. Vivian's phone beeped, and she hurriedly checked it. The gorgeous woman nearly fainted when she discovered she had just received ten million dollars in her account. She only followed her instinct to stay behind Michael. She never thought that it would bring such a fortune into her life. This time, all the workers who had been mocking Michael fell to their knees, asking for forgiveness. The guards who had wanted to fight him earlier also joined. Jack Harris only used them for his foolishness; turning against him wouldn't be a bad idea. Moreover, Michael seemed like an oriented leader. He wasn't just a skillful fighter; he was also a secret billionaire. "Rise, I forgive you all. But none of you m

"How true is that?" the man asked in doubt, scrutinizing Michael from head to toe. The dude looked so young and lean. 'How was he able to rescue my daughter with such a slim body?' the man questioned inwardly."I'm very sure, Dad," the lady assured.Then, the man beckoned to the burly men to give him some space. He walked closer to Michael, staring into his eyes. Then he moved on to studying his body language.The billionaire had once studied criminology in school. It was easy for him to detect a criminal if he found one.Meanwhile, Michael wasn't afraid, nor was he fazed.After a while, the man stretched his hand forward for a handshake. "Thank you for saving my daughter."Michael took a few seconds pause before he locked hands with him and replied, "It wasn't a problem."After that, the man asked Michael, "The information that reached me indicated that the gangsters are up to four in number. How were you able to handle that?"With a bland facial expression, he responded, "Life matte
