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

    Patricia and her mother were about to rush to him when Michael's voice stopped them instantly."Don't go close to him!"The women stopped in their tracks, shifting their gaze to Michael."For what reason? Can't you see that he needs help?" Patricia was furious.Michael didn't argue with her; instead, he explained, "Prince Liam is in a recovery state. Interrupting him at this time might lead to disorganized memory recovery. Be aware that memory loss is a serious condition that needs to be handled carefully."Listening to Michael's explanation, they all fell silent.They wondered how the young man had so much knowledge about the condition. Undoubtedly, they could tell that he knew what he was saying.At that moment, Liam gasped and woke up from his unconsciousness.His eyes opened slowly like a hibiscus flower. His mind was so blank that he didn't remember even a trace of everything that had happened to him in the past.With squinted eyes, he looked around at everyone on their feet befo

    Michael was amused by his mockery. Everything Austin said showed how small-minded he was. However, it would be foolish to reply to a fool like him.Seeing how indecently the two women beside him were dressed, Michael knew who they were.He felt Hannah had done well for herself by accepting a ring from a spoiled brat who slept around with promiscuous women.“Haha! It feels so good to see you sad. You were so unlucky that you couldn't get the job. You even ended up being thrown out by the guard commander. I saw everything!”Austin mocked more loudly, hoping that Michael would disclose all the information.He aimed to provoke Michael because he saw how respectfully Steelheart bowed to him from a distance. This left him with questions.His first surprise was how Michael got the chance to enter the palace. How did a nobody like him get such an opportunity?The Graham Company had an interest in a piece of land on the outskirts of the reserved area, which was under the king's authority.Howe

    In a few minutes, Stephanie drove into a luxurious hotel. As soon as they got out of the car, she led the way inside, and they entered an elevator to the top floor.Michael was still a bit confused about where they were heading until they stopped in front of a grand hall.The hall looked so calm and welcoming. It had high ceilings, shining chandeliers, and large windows. The beautiful tables in the hall were arranged in rows, with the VIP space in the middle.The table setters were all focused on their job, doing the decoration. Undoubtedly, the hall was fascinating.Stephanie led Michael to one of the VIP tables and offered him a seat. "Please, take your seat, Mr. Quinn."Michael sat down gently, then the young lady made a request. "Please, spare me a minute to inform my mom that you're here. She will be so happy to see you."Michael nodded, "No problem, Miss Collins."Then, she left in excitement.Shortly, Michael was looking around at the beautiful hall, with some questions in his

    Despite the rage burning in Gordon's mind, he couldn't leave his work to fight Michael. He dared not risk it. He had a lot of bills to pay.Just then, he saw a figure walk into the hall. It was none other than Austin. His face frowned, and he looked extremely frustrated.Austin had gone through hell on his way before he found out where Stephanie and Michael were headed."Huh? Mr. Graham!" Gordon was surprised to see the billionaire's son.He rushed to him and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Graham, you are most welcome."Austin didn't even glance at him, let alone a reply. He was busy scanning the hall for Michael.However, Gordon didn't take his arrogant manner to heart. After all, he was the scion of the Graham family. He thought that it would be a great benefit to him in the future if he could leave a good impression on him."Come and have a seat here," Gordon offered, leading the way to the VIP tables.At that moment, Austin had found who he was looking for at a distance. His head expl

    "I was... It was..." Gordon was stammering, even though he had no idea why the icy lady was so enraged. He was more afraid of offending another heiress of the Collins family on the same day."Get out of here now!" Stephanie snapped at him, and he lost control of the direction he should head.Then, Stephanie turned to see Austin and felt irritated. "I never knew the scion of the Graham family visited parties uninvited."This hit Austin hard, but he quickly composed himself and tried to change the topic."Don't get it wrong, pretty. Wealthy and influential people come together for business collaborations."Stephanie nodded. "You're right, but people like you cannot be counted."Austin's heart broke into pieces. He never expected her to look down on his family's worth that much.Austin's legs were still shaking with anger, and his mind went blank as he searched for a reply.Then, Stephanie ignored him and pleaded with Michael as she sat. "I'm very sorry for the mess, Mr. Quinn. The prepa

    Michael's mind was filled with joy at the thought.Just then, loud applause from the crowd suddenly returned his attention to the stage.He realized the man had finished giving his speech. He was greeting all the VIP guests as he descended from the stage until he reached Stephanie's table."You delivered a wonderful speech, Uncle Joe!" Stephanie praised him."Thanks, Stephanie. You look more beautiful than usual!" Joe complimented her beauty.Stephanie blushed, covering her face.Just then, Joe noticed the young man sitting next to his niece. He stared at him for a while, and then he curiously asked Stephanie, "Who's he?" pointing at Michael."I'm about to introduce him to you. He's..." Stephanie hadn't finished her statement before Joe waved his hand."You need to be very careful with men, okay?" Joe advised."I understand, Uncle. He's..." Stephanie was trying to explain before her uncle cut in again. "The fact that he looks so calm doesn't mean his intentions are pure," Joe warned s

    The whole crowd was surprised. A thunderous applause erupted as the beautiful Stella appeared from backstage.She wore a stunning silk gown that looked perfect on her slender figure. With every step she took, the hearts of the onlookers stopped for a moment.Stephanie felt so good seeing the crowd drooling at her sister's beauty.Lauren hurriedly welcomed Stella on stage with a motherly hug. The old woman gazed into her daughter's eyes again, and the memory of everything that happened yesterday flooded her mind.She sighed and let it go, holding Stella's hand and moving closer to the microphone."There's a saying: as parents age, children take the reins. However, Stella isn't taking the reins today solely because her parents are getting old, but because she's capable and reliable."The crowd clapped in excitement as Lauren gestured to the mic for Stella to speak.This time, Michael had a glimpse of why Lauren had appreciated him wholeheartedly. If the young lady had successfully ended

    Michael had been in the burning building for more than two minutes. The only thing the onlookers could hear was the intense crying of the victims.This made the crowd more worried and scared. However, none of them dared to enter the building to help the victims. Michael, who had given it a try, was already considered to have been knocked down by the fire. For that reason, they all awaited the arrival of the firefighters.Some of the victims' family members had arrived, crying their eyes out. They had already lost hope as almost half of the store had burned down to ashes.Just then, the silhouette of a young man was seen approaching with speed in the middle of the fire. It was none other than Michael.The fire burning in every path he took went off as it made contact with his body.Michael was carrying two of the victims under his arms as he rushed out of the burning building.The crowd was dumbstruck as he appeared."What?!

    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.

    "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
