The next morning, Michael's phone began to ring. He took a look at it, and it was Vivian calling. He was able to see the caller because he had a new phone now.

Last night, when Lucas saw how damaged his previous phone was, he gave him a new and expensive one.

"Hello, Miss Noah," Michael pressed the phone to his ear as he accepted the call.

"There's a problem, sir. There are some thugs at the entrance of Skyline. I don't know what their mission is," Vivian explained in panic.

"Thugs?" Michael was taken aback.

"Hide yourselves in a very safe place. I will be there in a minute," Michael assured her, and the call ended.

Immediately after the call ended, the thugs barged into the restaurant, causing quick disorder. The customers nearby were scared to death and quickly hid under the tables.

All the workers fled for their safety except Vivian, who was caught inside. She stood a bit distant from the thugs.

Her breath paused when she saw how heavily armed the thugs were. They had crowbars, bas

    Vivian turned to look at Michael, and she felt disappointed with Clara's leaky mouth.Then she stammered in response, "Ehnnm..." She was confused about what to say.Instantly, Clara cut in, "It's alright, Vivian. I understand completely. You shouldn't expect anything else from a low-paid driver like him."Vivian's face frowned immediately. If she had not known Clara's bad attitude for a long time, she would have slapped her face right away.How dare she disparage the man who made her earn ten million dollars in a few minutes?She was enraged.Vivian glanced at Michael again, but he didn't look angered or annoyed by the insult.Clara felt the silence between the two was quite awkward. To rejuvenate the atmosphere, she quickly brought up something different, "So, Vivian. Why are you here?"Vivian cleared her throat, "I used to know Avalon Estate as one of the best housing estates in the city. I don't think it's a bad idea to have a comfortable home here.""Oh! You do have an interest in

Why didn't we pick another day for jokes?""Come on, Clara. Do I look like I'm telling a joke?"Vivian's reply made Clara squint. She wanted to understand her better."Mr. Quinn is the one purchasing the property. He will be very glad if you can recommend a building better than this."Vivian had not finished her speech before Clara cut in, "Come off it, Vivian!!"Vivian was taken aback to see her friend's eyes turn red. What was wrong? she wondered."What do you take me for, Vivian? Why do you have to waste my precious time fooling around? Do you have to take advantage of our friendship so senselessly?"Vivian was sile

Vivian felt a chill in her mind at the sound of the price.Taking another look at The Gold Homes, she couldn't deny the fact that it was worth the price.A wave of relief washed over her when she remembered that she wasn't the one paying for it, but the billionaire.Then she turned to Michael with a smile, "These mansions are extremely beautiful. Which of the three will you be taking, sir?"Michael nodded casually. "Yeah, they all seem beautiful. But none of them meets what I want."Vivian's eyes widened in surprise. She found it difficult to understand Michael this time.She wondered if these stunning buildings didn't meet his expectations, then what could?Vivian remained silent as she watched Michael walk over to Winifred.He looked into the young lady's eyes and said, "I understand that you are new in this line of work.

    After the documentation was delivered to Michael, Karen and Winifred left.A few moments later, Vivian also returned to Skyline to watch over the business.This time, Michael was sitting on a sofa on the balcony in the backyard.He was feeling so good and relaxed.

He was trying to understand it as he kept his eyes on the lady until she entered one of the beach huts.As soon as he diverted his gaze in the opposite direction, he saw one of Wellington's guards approaching. Then, the guard directed him to Cynthia's hut.All the beach huts in Viva Galore are beautifully built. However, there is a uniqueness in Cynthia's hut structure that makes it stand out.

We can be on our way now."Steelheart bowed slightly to him in respect and requested to drive the car.Michael agreed, and Steelheart jumped into the driver's seat while Michael sat next to him.Sage, in the passenger seat, heaved a sigh of relief as Steelheart's presence eased his mind.King James wished them a safe and successful journey under his breath as he watched the SUV zoom off.Inside the car, their faces looked determined and focused as their thoughts revolved around the challenge before them.Just then, Michael broke the silence, "After conducting a lot of research, I was able to find Zak's location."The others nodded slowly as Michael took out his phone and showed them the route to the wizard's residence on Google Maps.Zak's residence is located in a deep and sca

    The king felt extremely disgusted with Sage immediately. Undoubtedly, such a greedy fellow wouldn't mind ending the king's life if he got paid for it.Before the unexpected could occur, James had already resolved to end Sage's life first.Michael was still dumbfounded as he found it hard to understand how an elderly man could be so greedy. If not for his greed, there's a chance that the protection mirror wouldn't have gone missing.As soon as Sage saw the disgust and anger on their faces, he quickly protested,"Your Highness, please don't get me wrong! That was my intention when I got the fabricated black opal, but not anymore! That was why I returned the genuine black opal to the treasury after I realized that money isn't the pinnacle of everything in life."King James' face remained stern as he stared at the unreliable elderly man. Even though there was a hint of genuineness on his face as he protested, it was still very hard to believe him.James then turned to Michael and said, "M

    A total fright took over the room as the revelation restricted the air in the atmosphere.Given that the king had once witnessed Zak in action in Colston City, that made him realize who Sage described in the narration.Zak was a popular wizard in Colston City; however, only a few people had been privileged to see him in person.Aside from that, this ruthless wizard was known for devouring human beings on a whim without opening his mouth. Zak could manipulate time and mess with whatever he targeted.The king tried to understand that he must have spared Sage that night so as not to leave a trace of his visitation.The only question that revolved around King James' mind now was why Zak came for Silvana City's protection mirror.He could remember he had never had any business with the wizard in the past, let alone had a clash with him. Why Silvana City's peace was a problem for him left him with questions.King James sighed heavily as he let go of Sage's shoulders. He turned to Michael, w

    An impatient facial expression appeared on the king's face. All he wanted to know was the current location of the protection mirror. The longer the sacred mirror remains missing in Silvana City, the closer unimaginable disasters are likely to strike the city.At that moment, Sage's face looked so bitter, and his lips were trembling. The more he was about to speak, the more tears ran down his cheeks."On the night of Prince Liam's last birthday..." Sage bit his lower lip, trying to hold back his tears.Michael paid more attention to the elderly man as he began to explain. He was so impressed by how the king had perfectly handled the situation up to this moment.If the king hadn't been watching Sage, who would have known he had a secret to reveal?Sage was weeping hard as he continued, "While the celebration was ongoing that night, I was lured out of the celebration grounds by a stranger.""Without any discussion, he gifted me five million dollars as a kind gesture."Michael and King Ja

    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

    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

    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

    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
