The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 75
Joe's eyes flashed with anger. Sam just brought right before his nose, the guy he never wanted to see anymore. However, Sam wasn't at fault. It was Joe who had told them to respect whoever appraised the alexandrite earlier.Joe's cold glare shifted from Sam to the box on the table. His eyes squinted at a stone with a unique pink color and brilliance. Instantly, the elderly man felt a change within him as a thought struck his mind.Then, he dismissed Sam.Joe exchanged a glance with Stephanie as he asked Michael, "What's the problem with the gemstone?"Michael cleared his throat and replied, "Mr. Collins, I want to suggest that you keep this precious stone personally. The gemstone has the chance to continue to add value and become of great profit in the future."There was silence in the office. Joe shifted his gaze between Michael and the gemstone.Even though his curiosity was piqued at the mention of future profit, he didn't want to make it evident.Although he was the one who bough

Stephanie joined Michael and genuinely pleaded, "Mr. Quinn, I want to beg you not to take everything that happened to heart."Michael turned to look at her. "There's nothing to be troubled about. I should be the one pleading with you for stressing you out here."Stephanie looked at Michael with a bit of surprise at his gentleness and cool-headedness. Not only was she impressed by his calm attitude, but he was also very handsome."It's fine. We can still visit somewhere nice to brighten the day," Stephanie suggested.Michael pondered it for a moment and agreed with her.Then, the young lady led the way out of the commercial complex and was heading towards her car when a familiar voice called out to her, "Hi, Miss Collins."Stephanie paused and turned to look in the direction from which the voice came, and it was Austin.He was about to enter his Audi Q5, which was parked in front of Stephanie's car."It feels so nice to see you today," Austin said in a flirtatious tone as he walked clo

Stephanie couldn't take her eyes off the Black Opal as it glimmered more as the sun shone on it.Research made her realize that Black Opal is one of the rarest stones. How Michael was able to possess one left her with so many questions.Michael displayed the gemstone more openly. Then, he closed the box and was about to pocket it when Austin hurriedly stopped him."Please wait, Mr. Quinn."Michael raised his eyes to look at him. He was surprised to see the pompous Austin looking so humble now."Is there any problem?" Michael asked nonchalantly.Then, Austin became more respectful to Michael as he began to sweet-talk him. "Mr. Quinn, there have been a few misunderstandings between us in the past, but you have always been considerate when dealing with things. As the kind person that you used to be, I want to urge you to overlook the past. Let's start afresh by supporting each other." Austin was grinning from ear to ear.Michael chuckled, "Why are you beating around the bush, speaking in

Stephanie paused for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on her face. "That serves him right," she commented, and Michael laughed softly.She was impressed with the trick Michael pulled on the fool.He said he was going to Joe's gallery to gift him the black opal regarding Stephanie. Meanwhile, he just left his gallery behind.That says a lot about Austin's personality. He's nothing but a liar and deceiver.Stephanie and Michael got back into the car and drove off.Michael sat quietly in the car as his mind flashed back to how he nearly lost his life last night.One of the most complex means by which Michael's spiritual strength can level up is through the use of rare stones.That says a lot about how the process must be carefully handled.The heavy breath Michael released on the fake black opal last night is one of the strongest cultivating techniques.If the black opal had been authentic, as soon as he released the breath on it, the rare stone would crack, and a soothing energy wo

Michael had no idea what they had come to do in the luxury mall as Stephanie led the way in.They took the VIP elevator and landed on the third floor of the massive building.After a minute's walk, Stephanie entered a VIP restaurant that looked magnificent and invited Michael into a private dining space."Come have a seat here, Mr. Quinn," she offered, and Michael sat gently on the black sofa.Stephanie sat across from him and asked with a soft smile, "How do you feel about here?"Michael gazed around.It was a cool and cozy space. They were also able to have a view of the center of the large mall from there."It's nice," he commented.Stephanie chuckled slightly as she sipped the cocktail that had been served to her. She had intentionally chosen the quiet space to create a better atmosphere.She fixated her gaze on Michael as she watched him take his fresh juice. She couldn't stop admiring how calm and handsome he looked.At that moment, Stephanie's heart was filled with a thousand t

Ava and Erica's faces turned green with worry.The old woman's face looked so tough. No doubt, dealing with her would be quite difficult.Ava quickly stepped forward and did her best to plead with the old woman. "We are very sorry for the great mistake, but there's no way we can get this vase back intact. How about you name the price?"The old woman's face widened more in anger. She looked so much like a leopard that was about to pounce on its prey. "Don't tell me that! Do you think an amount of money can solve this?! What I want is this particular vase! Anything else you have to say is nonsense!"A crowd had already gathered, watching the scene. This made Ava and Erica's faces ashen with embarrassment.Somehow, Ava felt that maybe the old woman bumped into Erica on purpose. More like a troublesome person.The fact that Ava couldn't find anything special about the broken vase gave her more headaches.It was just an old-fashioned vase and nothing more to say about it. Why the old woman

Meanwhile, Stephanie and Michael were already outside the mall."Mr. Quinn, I appreciate you for sparing your time," Stephanie said gratefully."It's no problem, Miss Collins. It's nice spending time with you," he replied."You must have important matters to attend to. I wouldn't want to bother you any longer."Michael nodded as her statement quickly reminded him of something."I remember that I haven't been able to sit with Mrs. Collins to know what she has to tell me. I promise to visit her this evening."Stephanie was surprised by Michael's words. She wasn't expecting the visit. "Really? That would be great."Michael nodded and assured her."It's alright, then. See you in the evening," Stephanie said as she bid farewell to Michael, and they both took different paths.......Inside the mall, Erica was still fixing the vase using the knowledge she gained from a video she saw on the Internet some time ago.The onlookers all had disgusted glares at Erica for what she was doing. It was

Michael was in a cab, his mind a bit worried about where he could find rare stones to assist himself.Before he left home that morning, he attempted to absorb the energy of his natural environment, but it was impossible.This was because the fake black opal he used last night had weakened his breathing ability.To solve this, he needed a metaphysical stone with soothing energy.Unfortunately, these stones are rarely available at gemstone galleries or at just any locations. They are treasures mostly kept secret by those who possess them.For the sake of whatever the next moment might hold, Michael needed to resolve these issues as soon as possible.He concluded that he would need the assistance of someone who had an idea of where to find these rare stones.As the cab sped away, Michael sighed and muttered under his breath, "Before I find anyone, something has to be done.".........Later in the day, Austin went to Heritage Market. This market is located downtown in the city and is popu

Michael gently pulled him out of the freezer and helped the two victims out of the burning building.As soon as he stepped out, the first aiders hurried to him to assist the unconscious lady and the old man.Michael turned to run back into the building when he heard a voice genuinely appreciative behind him."Thank you so much for helping my friend."Turning around, he saw the previous teenage boy. Michael was caught off guard as he responded briefly, "It's no problem at all."The young boy bowed respectfully and ran to the area where the first aiders were attending to the victims.Michael's attention was piqued as he saw the teenage boy and the old man smiling at each other happily. They were exchanging friendly words."They are friends?" Michael muttered in surprise.He thought he had seen it all until the young boy pulled out a lighter to light a cigarette for the old man."What?!" Michael was extremely stunned. He never wanted to believe that was what constituted their friendship.

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?! How is this possible?""How did he manage to?!!"They all had

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
