Max nudged Michael, and they both left for a quiet corner to have their discussion."What's going on, Michael? Please explain it to me," Max asked impatiently.Michael went silent, searching for the perfect answer in his mind. "Nothing serious," he replied shortly, which caused Max's eyes to widen."Come on, man! Do you mean a limited-edition Rebeluxe wear worth thousands is nothing serious?""Max, this wear is a gift from a friend. If I had known it was costly, I wouldn't have accepted it. I'm not comfortable with all the stares it has caused," Michael disclosed.Max let out a sigh."It's not bad that you wear something nice. I'm just concerned about your financial situation. You contributed one hundred thousand dollars for the next get-together party. Isn't that serious as well?"Michael was clueless about how he would explain the matter. Revealing that he hadn't made any payment might be unbelievable.He patted Max's shoulder and said, "Buddy, I understand all your concerns, and I

Michael was quiet for a moment.This lady had been showing him a lot of kind gestures since she arrived, but it seemed this was ahead of everything."Thank you for the offer, Ava. I have my bike here," Michael declined.Ava nodded and said, "It's very simple. My car trunk is spacious enough for your bike. So..." She smiled at him with a wink.It cost Michael nothing to reject the offer completely, but he thought of giving her a chance to fulfill her wish.The car trunk was opened, and Ava joined hands with Michael to place the bike in there.Erica walked forward and took the driver's seat. Then, Michael and Ava opened the passenger doors and hopped in.The car was started, and then it drove off.At this time, everyone at the party was trying to figure out what was going on between Ava and Michael.The fact that Ava was even the one running up to Michael at every corner left them all with questions.Hannah's head was buzzing with madness as the only gossip that filled the air was about

The next day, Michael was sitting on his balcony, absorbing the energy of his natural surroundings.Immediately after he was done, a new task alert popped up before his eyes.Ding![New Task Alert!][Quench the fire burning at Silvana Palace][Reward: 30 gems.][Task must be completed in the next three hours. Your time starts now!][Failure to complete the task within the given duration will result in a pause of tasks for several weeks.][Failure to carry out the task will lead to the host losing any of his previously granted wishes.]Michael was somewhat surprised. He had never heard any news about Silvana Palace being attacked by fire.However, he set aside the question and found his way to the destination.A few moments later, he arrived at the exclusive reserved and well-secured area where the palace was situated.Despite the limitations on the monarch's power in modern times, Silvana City's royal authority remains significant.Surprisingly, Michael didn't see a sign or trace of a

Ding![Ten gems deducted.][Wish granted.]Instantly, Steelheart felt a subtle relaxation in his chest. His heart became calm as he looked at Michael, unlike how enraged he had been a minute ago.He wondered why he had been mad at Michael in the first place. Michael had willingly come to the palace to lend a helping hand. Why should he be stopped?At that moment, Steelheart turned to his subordinate, and his heart hardened."Both of you should lock yourselves up right now!" he ordered, rage evident on his face.The guards were shocked upon hearing that. They never expected the matter to head this way."We are so sorry to let this nonentity trouble you, sir. We should have cut off his legs before your arrival." They both fell to their faces, pleading.However, what they had just said only provoked Steelheart further. "You! Get them locked up forever! Without food or water!" Steelheart beckoned at one of the guards peeking at the scene.The guard hurried forward and picked up his collea

Sage's hatred for Michael multiplied at that moment. He wondered how Michael came to know about a matter that was completely a secret.The king scrutinized Michael more thoroughly and asked, "How capable do you think you are?""I will try my best, Your Highness," Michael calmly responded.Sage voiced his annoyance as he couldn't hold it in any longer."I don't mean to be rude, my king, but since Elysian is here..." The king raised his hand, cutting Sage off.Sage slowly lowered his head, feeling disappointed.However, the king had his own perception as well. Several spiritual doctors had been invited, and none of them had been successful.Is it sensible to depend on only one person now?Elysian, who had been quiet, decided to speak up as well. "My king, this kid doesn't look like he has any basic knowledge about leaves, let alone their usage. He's just a distraction. I suggest we send him away."The king nodded and said, "You're right."Elysian was pleased.Then the king continued, "I

They were still in a daze when the king picked an apple from the bowl of fruit beside him and placed it on the table."How many seeds are there in this apple?" the king asked, and they were all stupefied.The contestants were more surprised, as they never expected such a challenge.Elysian quickly cleared his throat. "We don't have to waste much time." Then he began to chant.After he spent close to eight minutes on the chants, he said, "My king, this apple has seven seeds.""Are you sure?" Sage asked worriedly."There are seven seeds in the apple. I'm very sure," Elysian confirmed.Then Sage turned to Michael. "It's your turn."Michael nodded in response. This test truly required inner wisdom, which meant he needed to level up his abilities.He remembered he had ten gems left, then he whispered a wish."I wish to be bestowed with inner wisdom."Ding![Ten gems deducted!][Wish granted!]Right away, the answer came to Michael's mind."Why is it taking you forever to say something?!"

In a moment, the king's wives and daughters flooded into the room as soon as the news reached them.They all loved Liam as the only male child in their family and also as an adorable prince.King James had eight wives and ten children in total: one son and nine daughters.James' family had these numbers when he was desperate to have a son.In the first year after James became king, his first wife, Victoria, gave birth to a female child. A year later, she gave birth to another female child.Then, James married his second wife, Catherine, the night Victoria had her second daughter.Some months later, Catherine gave birth to a female child, too.This made James somewhat worried. Then, Sage advised him to marry more wives.The advice was put into action, and James married five more wives on the same day.Surprisingly, all five new wives gave birth to female children.At this time, the king found it difficult to sleep at night. He thought that with all the women giving birth to female chil

Sage sprang into action and rushed out immediately.A few minutes later, he returned with everything Michael had requested.Michael collected it from him and placed it in the middle of the room. Then, he sat Liam before the tray.Everyone had their eyes on Michael, wondering what he was doing.Just then, Michael gathered the dry leaves in the middle of the tray. Then, he placed the beetles and crickets on the four corners of the tray.He ignited the dry leaves, and a thick smoke billowed out, covering the whole room.Patricia was agitated and wanted to kick away the nonsense he was doing. However, she couldn't risk offending her father. This made her swallow her anger.The thick smoke evaporated and turned into a wisp. The thread of smoke began to swirl out from the middle of the burning dry leaves.Michael studied the tiny smoke as it went straight up. Soon, the smoke lost its direction.Then, he traced the smoke again from the bottom.The tiny smoke rose and then waved in a directio

A raging fire was seen licking the roof of a large convenience store close to Skyline Restaurant. Thick smoke continued to billow out through the windows of the building as the fire burned at a very high speed.An intense shock took over the area as the view became more frightening to look at within a few seconds.Austin's heart leapt as he shouted, "Oh my! What the f*** is this?! This is death right before my eyes!" He stepped backward in a hurry and ran away for his dear life.The deadly fire was raging right before Michael's eyes when he heard the usual sound in his head.Ding![New Task Alert!][Rescue all the victims in the convenience store.][Reward: 50 gems.][Task must be completed in the next fifteen minutes. Your time starts now!][Failure to complete the task within the given duration will result in a pause of tasks for several weeks.][Failure to carry out the task will lead to the host losing any of his previously granted wishes.]Michael's face tightened in concern.

"Good evening, Mrs. Noah. How are you?" Michael responded calmly."I'm okay, sir. Could you please spare me a minute of your time?" Vivian requested politely.This left the crowd astounded, as did Austin. They wondered why the beautiful Vivian could be so polite to Michael.Michael was just a lowly-paid waiter at Skyline before he got sacked. Where did this respect come from all of a sudden?While they were still in befuddlement, Michael and Vivian took a few steps away from the crowd to have a discussion.Everything going on at this moment still feels more like a dream to Austin. Why on earth would Vivian be so gentle and respectful toward the broke Michael?Without thinking about it too long, he dismissed the thought and concluded that Vivian was just naturally a polite young lady. There was nothing special.However, Austin couldn't hold in the pain of all the money Michael had made him lose within a short period. It was crazy for him to withhold it.Having a brief glance at his BMW

"That's impossible!" Austin disagreed. However, he couldn't remember how much he had left on his card, as he had spent so much recently.He never expected his card to run out of funds just like that.Instantly, the waiter provided his card and the transaction slip. "You can have a look at it, sir."Austin's eyes scanned the slip, and they landed on the total of the transactions. His mind exploded when he saw the amount. It was eight million, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.A cold sweat broke out on Austin's forehead. He wouldn't have thought about the drag if he had noticed he only had a few million remaining on his savings card.Austin was filled with regret and wished he could turn back time.Meanwhile, the onlookers began to praise him. "Mr. Graham is the winner!""The young heir has a special level for doings.""Of course, yes. The poor now know themselves."Austin's ruined mood was restored as soon as the praises came in. Even though he had lost all his savings, at leas

There was total silence. The crowd found it funny that Austin dared to challenge a nobody like Michael. He doesn't even have the money for the cheapest drink in Skyline, let alone Petrus Wine.Not only that it's impossible; it can never happen.Michael, who maintained a calm demeanor, raised his head and answered, "Austin, do you think three bottles of Petrus Wine is a big deal?""No long talk, Michael. Just go on and order the wine." Austin pushed him further.Without wasting time, Michael slipped the card Austin had given him earlier in the day out of his pocket. He handed it to the waiter and ordered, "I want six bottles of Petrus Wine."The crowd was shocked. They wondered if Michael had lost his mind. Didn't he know what he was saying at all? Six bottles of Petrus Wine were equivalent to one million, five hundred thousand dollars.Where would he find such an amount of money?However, while they were still in shock, the order was delivered.The crowd was stunned to see the waiter

At Skyline Restaurant, Austin was seen pacing back and forth in front of the BMW X5 in the parking lot. The onlookers were watching him fume. He looked so angry and dangerous.With how fierce he looked, Austin might act irrationally at any moment.As soon as he received information that his BMW X5 was at Skyline Restaurant, he quickly rushed down there. He couldn't wait to find Michael soon and end him all by himself.The trauma of the humiliation he experienced at the marketplace remained fresh and burning in his memory.The thought intensified his anger, making him walk briskly to the entrance of the dining area. "For the last time! Where is the person who brought my car here?!" he yelled like a madman.There was dead silence as all the diners watched him in confusion. At that moment, a voice spoke up, "I'm right behind you. Is there a problem?"Austin hurriedly turned in the direction of the voice and froze in place as soon as his eyes met Michael's cold gaze.He had promised to te

A quick confusion took over the floor, and Lauren called to stop her, "Wait, Stella!""Stella! It's Mr. Quinn, the man who saved your life!" Stephanie tried to stop her too.However, none of their efforts were helpful. She didn't even bother to give any of them a second glance. This made them feel embarrassed in front of Michael.Stephanie quickly ran after her before things turned out badly, like the last time she left the banquet hall strangely.The last time Stella left the banquet hall, she was at the peak of rage. Before anyone could reach her, she had already begun to destroy things.After a couple of minutes of being outrageous, she felt calm and relieved. This made the Collins family very worried. They understood that heartbreak is indeed hurtful, but it’s alarming when it messes with mental health.As soon as Lauren remembered what had happened the last time, she quickly stood up. "Mr. Quinn, let me check on her.""That's important, Mrs. Collins." Michael sensed the worry in

It was already evening. After Michael's overall attempt to find a solution to his problem, all he could find was an herbal root.Even though the herbal root can't cure the problem he has at hand, it will be useful in the future.For that reason, he safely kept it, then headed to the Collins mansion as he had promised.In a couple of minutes, he arrived in front of the magnificent mansion of the Collins family.Stephanie, who had been patiently waiting for his arrival, hurried to welcome him."You stick to your promises, Mr. Quinn. You are such a noble, gentle man," she said impressively, with a smile on her face."You're welcome to the Collins residence.""Thank you, Miss Collins. It feels good to pay a visit," Michael replied, glancing at the beautiful building till his gaze fell on Stephanie.The young lady was wearing a pair of pants and a simple top. She had no jewellery on, nor makeup. Despite that, her beauty still illuminated the atmosphere.To Michael, it felt like it was his

The crowd was shocked as they began to respond to Austin's questions."It means your stone is useless!""It's a fabricated stone!""Dude! You have a fake stone! I thought you said it was an inheritance from your great-grandfather?"The crowd burst into laughter as someone asked the question.This made Austin feel stupid and embarrassed for lying about his ancestors.But he quickly embraced it to avoid looking like a coward. "Yes, it is! This stone has been in our possession for more than 100 years! It's genuine.""Wow!" The crowd was stunned by the information. But Elysian was sure of his verification.Aside from his earlier observation, he noticed the stone also appeared dull. A genuine black opal has a vibrant and three-dimensional color play.To clarify further, Elysian said, "Let's give it another strike to find out."He struck the hammer against it, but nothing changed. He gave it one more strike, but the stone remained hard and unscathed.Without wasting time, Elysian dropped th

"Austin Graham, I was expecting your arrival before one of my boys informed me that you are already here," Elysian said as he walked closer.Austin's face twisted in concern; he was worried that Elysian must have found out about everything that happened between him and the shopkeepers. For that reason, he might slash the price he had to pay for the stone.Quickly, he faked a smile at Elysian and lied, "That's true. Some items caught my attention, and I got carried away. Hehe!"Even though Elysian was aware of the truth, he didn't take Austin's dishonesty to heart. Elysian Gray had informed all the storekeepers that he needed a black opal. Since the price Elysian attached to it was captivating, they had all been searching for it.Austin might have thought that he was disappointed as things went, but the shopkeepers were more disappointed.As Elysian Gray, whom they wanted to sell the rare stone to, was already present."It's no problem, Mr. Graham. You own the black opal and have the f
