The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 109
Michael's eyes blinked twice as he snapped out of the long journey his mind had traveled. He was trying to reach for his phone in his pocket; however, his eyes were still locked on Cynthia.The gorgeous woman noticed a bit of awkwardness in the air and then leaned back slowly."I guess that's Silas Spencer calling you. Attend to him, Mr. Quinn," Cynthia said, standing up from the couch and moving to her office chair.Michael exhaled and responded, "I think so too. Spare me a minute to answer the call."Cynthia waved a hand in the air. "That's important. Please attend to him," she said, glancing at the works on her table.Michael had thought of calling Silas earlier to ask if they had been able to leave the criminal's apartment safely. He also wanted to inquire about his location so they could go for the gemstones he had found.As soon as he slid his phone out of his pocket, he discovered the call wasn't from Silas but from Sage of the Silvana Palace.Michael wondered what the man had
The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 110
In the king's private visitors' room, Michael was seated, patiently waiting for the arrival of King James.Then, two palace attendants entered with a big tray of fruits and cheese, serving them before Michael.Despite how fresh and inviting the fruits looked, Michael's appetite was absent at this moment.This was because he was quite bothered about the issue at hand, especially because he hadn't heard from Silas.He couldn't wait for the King's arrival; he quickly wanted to find out how soon Don Leo would be launching his attack on the city.At that moment, King James walked in. "Mr. Quinn, you are once my savior. Thank you for coming through this time, too."Michael got to his feet and welcomed him. "You're very welcome, Your Highness."James couldn't fathom Michael's humility. He wished such a man with potential and humility could be the husband to all his daughters."You are too polite, Mr. Quinn. Please take your seat," James said, then his gaze fell on the untouched refreshments
The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 111
King James and Michael exited the private visitor's room and headed out. As soon as they stepped out of the grand building, Sage was seen from a distance hurrying towards them. "My king, I have successfully ensured that your order is in action. All the security strategies have been implemented. I believe Silvana City is safe from all forms of invasion now." After James narrated the nightmare to Sage earlier, different procedures were put into action to safeguard the city. One of them was inviting the capable Michael Quinn over. James nodded in response and said, "You've done a good job, Sage. But Mr. Quinn just made it clear to me that there's more to the matter at hand. So, we still have a lot to investigate." Sage's eyes lit up immediately. "Really? What are they? Let's address them so the city can have a rest." James responded calmly, "You are spot on, Sage. Come with us, let's look into it together." Instantly, Sage followed behind gently. Even though he had no clue where th

King James was completely bewildered to find out about the missing protection mirror. At that moment, Michael's interpretation of the nightmare became clearer to him. He inwardly took the blame for the situation, regretting that he had not played his usual role of periodically visiting the vault room. The last time the king visited the vault room was several weeks before Liam fell sick. After his only son fell ill, his mental health was in shambles, and he couldn't remember to carry out most of his usual activities. Having another round of thought concerning the issue, he felt he had never left the protection mirror unsecured. After all, the pin to the vault room was known only to him. To crown it all, entry to the treasury was impossible without Sage. Michael and Sage were still looking at the king with a bit of confusion when the king confronted Sage. "King's adviser, I'm sure I've never opened this room in your presence before." Sage nodded quickly. He couldn't look

They all quickly walked forward in that direction with curiosity."Who's there?!" King James asked sternly as they got closer to the corner. However, there was no response.Instantly, they all checked around the corner but couldn't find anyone.Sage heaved a sigh and said, "Could it be that we overheard things?""I don't think that's true. If not, why do we all react to the sound at the same time?" Michael's observation swept away Sage's point.Sage was about to further argue with Michael when they heard a heavier grunt right in that same spot.This time, they all caught the exact angle from which the sound came and walked briskly toward it.King James was closer to the direction. He saw nothing else there but a big, old carton that seemed to be empty. James doubted if his instinct was right as he slowly opened the empty carton.Boom!They were all shocked to find a skinny young lady hiding in the big carton. She was grunting heavily due to the excessive heat. She looked extremely exh
The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 114
They were all extremely stunned to find the gemstone with the lady.The king's face turned seriously angry at her. If they hadn't caught her here, they wouldn't have discovered the theft.King James had a cold stare at her, wondering how long she had been stealing from the treasury. He was left in the middle of his thoughts, struggling to believe that she was the one who stole the protection mirror.Then, the king angrily said to her, "So, you've been the one stealing all the valuables in this treasury!""Your Highness, that's not true. This is my first time visiting the treasury, and this is the only valuable I took. Pardon me." She quickly explained with utmost fear, letting go of the black opal.Just then, a thought came to James's mind as he confronted Sage. "King adviser, I remember we only have one black opal in this treasury, and it has been given to Mr. Quinn. Where does this come from?"Sage took a moment to think before he replied, "That's true, Your Highness. We have given
The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 115
King James and Michael were stunned to hear that from Sage. A surprised look was directed at the elderly man as the king snapped at him in rage."What do you mean by that, Sage? Are you trying to silence her?"Sage quickly composed himself, waving his hands in decline. "Don't get me wrong, Your Highness. I meant what else does she have to say, as it was already obvious that she is a skillful thief.""If not, how was she able to steal the key card that I used a few minutes ago to sneak into the jewel room? My king, there's a high chance that she was the one who stole the protection mirror. Her skill is highly bewildering!"Sage's stance introduced a bit of confusion into the atmosphere. However, even though his points were worth pondering, they were quite unbelievable.The king wondered how it was possible for the lady to steal the key card from him without any of them finding out. That had to be magic.The king didn't argue with Sage as he realized Sage was trying to manipulate their

King James was stunned and refused to believe his eyes. He felt his mind playing a trick on him as he walked closer to the shelf in doubt.Sage and Michael had their eyes on the king as they saw him stop before the shelf, staring in a direction.Meanwhile, the king was surprised that what he saw was real. The protection mirror was hidden behind other valuables on the shelf. It was a hexagonal-shaped mirror with traditional intricacies.Michael and Sage were still watching the king as he stood there when he reached for the mirror and turned to them.They were befuddled to see the traditional mirror in his hand. Who would have thought that the protection mirror, capable of saving the whole city, was sitting there?However, King James's face tightened in rage as he asked Sage, "The loyal one, tell me how this got here?"Sage's ocean of tears dried immediately as he rose to his feet. He wore a bland expression as he gave his two cents."It's very understandable, Your Highness. That foolis

Ding![Ten gems deducted!][Wish granted!]In a flash, Zak's camouflage body began a rapid spin in place, and the air blew Michael away, causing him to land on his back."What's going on?! Somebody help me!" Zak shouted as his voice echoed through the air.The wizard couldn't fathom what had led him to this sudden, nonstop spin.This time, Michael got to his feet, watching the wizard in his helpless situation. He never had any intention of hurting the man in the beginning; all that mattered to him was the protection mirror.However, given the clash between the duo, it was no surprise that Zak was determined to send Michael to his grave.It was great luck for Michael that he was able to put his enemy in his place.If only Michael had known where the wizard had kept the mirror, he would have gone for it right away. This was because, as soon as the air blew him away, he felt his spiritual energy awakening slightly.Zak, who had been crying for help, suddenly accepted the truth that no on

Meanwhile, Michael was still in the darkroom, trying his best to escape the difficult situation he was in.At that moment, not only was the heat in the room becoming more intense, but his throat was seriously drying out, and he nearly coughed up blood.This left him in a completely uncomfortable situation, with his life hanging by a thread.It was clear that Zak wasn't taking it lightly with Michael. He wanted him dead, and in a horrible way.As Michael continued to wander around the room, trying harder to find a means of exit, he accidentally stepped on a pressure-sensitive switch on the floor.Suddenly, a part of the wall shifted slightly, and a little light entered the room.Michael's brows raised slightly in surprise as he couldn't discern the reason behind the sudden shift.He was devastated, as his clothes were already soaked with sweat, but he couldn't give up at such a dangerous moment.Michael gasped loudly as he turned to try passing through the shifted wall, hoping it would

After the dancing session with Sage, an arrangement was made for refreshments. The elderly man was invited to the dining table, sitting next to the gang leader and his lover."You requested some fun earlier. Here's some for you." The gang leader said to Sage, pointing at the bottles of wine and other hard liquor on the table.Sage responded with a gentle smile as he maintained his drunken act. "Haha! What a good day to be alive! Thank you for the warm treatment."The gang leader waved his hand in the air and stated genuinely, "Mammie deserves the gratitude. If not for her, there's a high chance you would be in a pool of blood by now."The gang leader flashed a wicked smile at Sage before turning a calm gaze at his lover sitting next to him.At that moment, the elderly man felt a shift in his heart. He couldn't deny the truth behind the gang leader's remark.If it weren't for Fiona, the ruthless gang leader would have blown Sage's head off with his gun.Given that, the elderly man reco

A sudden pause took over the room immediately.Michael glanced around but couldn't find any trace of the wizard. Then, he taunted, "Isn't it early for you to go behind the veil now, Zak? The show hasn't even started yet."His voice was a mix of seriousness and ridicule. However, all he got in response was total silence.He turned to look around quickly, anticipating the wizard's attack, but nothing happened.Just then, Michael stayed in place, paying attention to the direction where Zak had fallen. Then, he began to hear the sound of blood dripping on the floor.That gave him a glimpse into the reason why the wizard had suddenly disappeared. Zak had hidden himself in the darkness as he lost his strength so quickly.His strength drained away rapidly due to his injury and loss of blood.Michael was about to head in the direction of the sound when the wizard's terrifying voice suddenly echoed, "There's nothing in this world that can save you from visiting your grave today. However, getti

The room became illuminated instantly as the wizard appeared. It became clearer to Michael that the deep darkness in the room was all Zak's doing.Having a glance at what the wizard looked like, Michael felt a little concerned as he was still battling with the strike that had attacked him unexpectedly. His whole body was hot from within, to the point that his skin nearly burned away.Michael was staring at Zak at that moment, trying to understand whether he should be called a human being or an animal.This was because he had the shape of a human, while his face closely resembled that of an elephant. His nose was ridiculously long, and his ears nearly touched his shoulders. Moreover, he had two long horns on his head, making his kind of creature strange.Michael slowly stepped backward as the pain of the strike sank deeper inside him. He clenched his fists, aiming to gather his spiritual strength to help himself.However, Zak never let him be. The scary wizard walked closer to him, add

Michael hurried to his feet as the scary voice echoed. He glanced around the dark room, but he couldn't see a thing.The room was so dark that he couldn't even see his palms.He was trying to confirm if he was hallucinating. Probably, his mind was playing tricks on him due to the strange voices he had heard earlier before entering the building.The only thing he could note was an awful smell in the room. Just then, the previous voice came up again without revealing the direction of its owner."Those who trespassed into Zak's abode in the past never made it out of here. Now, you can have a bite of the pie, too."Instantly, a bolt of frightening lightning struck the dark room but couldn't harm Michael as he was quickly enclosed in a purplish transparent sphere.His eyes opened wide with concern as the lightning gave him a glimpse of what the room looked like.He felt a shift in his heart as his eyes flashed at several dried and decayed human skeletons lying on the ground.This time, Mic

Steelheart was momentarily stunned. He wondered how someone could be so selfless, laying down his life for the sake of his city.Before Steelheart could emerge from his train of thought, Michael had headed into the scary forest.Paying attention to the quiet surroundings, the guard commander stood more alert against any forthcoming troubles.Meanwhile, inside the thick forest, Michael had only walked a short distance when he suddenly noticed something strange.He discovered that he had been walking in the same spot for the past few minutes.He realized this after paying attention to his surroundings and found that he had been seeing the same trees over and over."What's going on?" Michael whispered to himself and tried another route in the forest.However, despite the attempt, the problem persisted. This time, he had to consult his inner knowledge to find a solution to the issue at hand.Browsing through his knowledge, Michael found that the forest was in this state because it was loc

Michael was mind-blown and wondered how she got to be in the midst of the deadly group. Not only was she in their midst, but she was also the gang leader's lover.After Fiona left Skyline Restaurant that night, Michael tried hard to reach her, but all his efforts were to no avail.Finding her among the gangsters now made him feel worried and concerned.Even though he had no idea how Fiona came to be with Don Leonardo's men, he felt it was against her will.This time, his mind went straight to no one else but Jack Harris, who used her as a weapon against Skyline Restaurant.After the incident that occurred at Skyline Restaurant that night, Vivian disclosed to Michael why Fiona had to comply with Jack Harris's orders to carry out his scheme against the restaurant.It turns out that Jack Harris had trickily taken a nude picture of Fiona when she was in the changing room. Ever since then, he had always pressured Fiona to sleep with him or risk having her nude leaked on the Internet.He al

A quick pause took over the atmosphere immediately.The gang leader's face became ugly, and he sniffed, shifting his gaze to the lady next to him while his gun was still pointed at Sage."Why do you think so, Mammie? What do you observe?" the gang leader asked.The lady chuckled, taking a thorough look at Sage, who had turned ice cold on his feet. "Taking a look at his bottle of local liquor says a lot about him. Also, take a look at his outfit..."The lady hadn't concluded her statement when the crowd's gaze fell on the elderly man's cowboy outfit, and they burst into roaring laughter."What the f***?! Hahaha!""Laughing my f***ing ass off!"The crowd continued to make tons of surprising comments while Sage remained frozen on his feet.Nothing was funny to him at that moment. The sight of the gun before him had already made him lose his soul even before his death.Just then, wide laughter suddenly appeared on the gang leader's face as his eyes traveled from the elderly man's shirt to
