The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 1
It was 8:30 PM at Skyline Restaurant. Michael Quinn, a waiter, was seen before a simply decorated table in the regular dining area of the restaurant.He looked so stressed and tired, with his uniform drenched in sweat. This was because the day's shift had been so hectic for him.Despite how tired he was, he still took the time to decorate a table to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.He made this warm arrangement as a surprise for his girlfriend, Hannah Walmer.Michael and Hannah had been dating since their last year at university. Since then, he had wished to celebrate her birthday elaborately. Unfortunately, his account balance had never allowed him to do so.However, Michael had worked hard to make today different.As one of the lowest-paid waiters at Skyline Restaurant, he was able to make this day exceptional by spending all his savings.Michael rose to his feet, gazing at his beautiful handiwork. A soft smile appeared on his tired face, yet he felt fulfilled.The table was cov

All attention fell on Michael, their faces contoured in surprise."What's going on here, Hannah?! What are you doing with this spoiled brat?!" Michael thundered, gritting his teeth. His hands were clenched into fists.Austin's face changed instantly, and he jumped to his feet in anger."How dare you, a poor thing, cause trouble here? Where has a pauper like you borrowed the courage?!""I have no business with you, spoiled brat. Allow my girlfriend to answer my question. Do not intimidate her!" Michael's eyes were very red with rage."Hahaha! Even the poor long for good things. What rubbish?!" Austin sneered and then turned to Hannah."Babe, do you know this low-life?"Hannah looked exposed as her eyes blinked twice. "I'm sorry, Honey. I never told you about him. He used to be my boyfriend, but I have broken up with him."Michael's heart sank in his stomach, and his voice cracked. "We have been dating for three years. We even had quality time together last night. So, what are you talki

The rain continued to pour heavily, beating down on Michael, yet he wasn't feeling it. The pain of rejection and humiliation engulfed him.He stared at the ground beneath him, and a sad smile appeared on his face."I've lived all my life in pain and poverty. I will find peace down here," Michael's voice cracked.He was heartbroken and wished his parents had been rich too. He could have lived off his inheritance.He snapped his left hand to his chest, grabbing the only inheritance his parents left for him: a jade pendant.He pulled at it, and the necklace broke off. He clutched the jade pendant tightly in his palm.He remembered what his mother had told him about the pendant: "With this pendant, your potential is limitless."Michael swallowed a forceful lump down his throat and felt his mother's remark about the pendant was just a fallacy.Michael opened his hand, gazing at the jade pendant. "Whether you're worthy or not, today will be the end of everything."The tears he had been hold

After a few hours, the day became brighter. Michael was very far asleep when his phone began to ring over and over. After several attempts, the caller stopped calling.The sun was already burning hot when he finally woke up. He stretched his body, yawning when his phone began to ring again.With half-sleepy eyes, he swiped the blinded screen of his phone and picked up the call."Where the fvck are you, loser? Why haven't you resumed work by this time of day?!" A very rough and angry voice wailed before ending the call.The sleep in Michael's eyes wiped away right away, realizing it was Jack Harris, the manager of Skyline Restaurant. He glanced at the wall clock and discovered it was already past twelve.He jumped out of bed, trying to prepare, and sprinted to Skyline.He hurriedly searched for his uniform before he found it soaked and stinking where he had kept it last night."Oh, shit!!" He cursed, running out of his room.In less than twenty minutes, Michael arrived at Skyline.As s

Vivian's face widened in panic. She was so afraid that Michael would be injured because he wanted to defend her.She would put a stop to the attack instantly if she had the capacity. Unfortunately, time can never be retrieved.Meanwhile, Michael's eyes closed shut, and he heard the robotic voice.[Make a wish and consider it granted in a millisecond.]Michael remembered everything that happened last night and whispered, "I wish to become the greatest martial artist in the world."Ding!In a flash, the hologram appeared, and he could see it in his mind.[Congratulations, Michael Quinn. You're now the greatest martial artist in the world.]Michael felt a surge of energy flow into his memory. Numerous fighting techniques were popping up in his mind.Then his eyes opened wide, grabbing Blade's fist with ease. "You made a wrong move." Michael spat on his face before breaking his wrist."Arghh!!" Blade groaned as his wrist made a cracking sound. "Bam!" Michael's punch landed hard on his che

"This kid is a clown! All his outfits aren't even worth ten dollars. Does he even know what ten million dollars is?" "I think you should go back to your sleep because this can only happen in your nightmares." The onlookers were making comments, including Michael's colleagues. Vivian was feeling a little awkward. She knew Michael's worth and even his background. There's no doubt that it might cost him his entire life before he could make just ten thousand dollars. Where would he find ten million dollars then? This time, she felt she had been carried away by Michael's confidence. "Michael, you do want to make the payment?" Vivian asked as she returned to reality. "Of course, yes. Take the card and proceed with the transaction." Michael's voice remained calm and relaxed. With doubt, Vivian collected the card. The machine for bigger transactions was provided. Vivian inputted the amount and swiped the card. Unfortunately, the machine signaled a red light, declining the transactio

A stare of admiration fell on Michael from every angle. They wondered why a billionaire like him chose to disguise himself by wearing cheap clothes. Jack's hoes moved away from him, finding him disgusting. They all wished they could lure Michael into their arms and make him theirs. Vivian's phone beeped, and she hurriedly checked it. The gorgeous woman nearly fainted when she discovered she had just received ten million dollars in her account. She only followed her instinct to stay behind Michael. She never thought that it would bring such a fortune into her life. This time, all the workers who had been mocking Michael fell to their knees, asking for forgiveness. The guards who had wanted to fight him earlier also joined. Jack Harris only used them for his foolishness; turning against him wouldn't be a bad idea. Moreover, Michael seemed like an oriented leader. He wasn't just a skillful fighter; he was also a secret billionaire. "Rise, I forgive you all. But none of you m

It was as if they had just hit a rock. They wondered how a young guy could be so strong. They all rushed to their feet, staring at Michael as though they had just seen a ghost. "Dude, hurry up and get out of here before things turn south for you," one of the gangsters threatened again. He hadn't finished his words before one of them threw an unexpected kick at Michael. The lad grabbed the gangster's leg midway and flung him at his team. "Argh!" they all groaned as their bodies hit the floor. As soon as they saw Michael walking toward them with a clenched fist, they all hurried to their feet and fled the warehouse. "Who is this beast?!" one of them shouted as they rushed into their vehicle and drove away. Michael moved closer to the young lady and helped her unconscious body up. He rested her back on his lap, gazing at her pale face. The effect of the drug made the lady's face look very pale and numb. Then Michael thought about how he could help her. He closed his eyes and whis

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

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

His breathtaking aura took over the place, and there was total silence."Welcome, sir!""You are welcome, sir!" the attendants hurriedly greeted him.Joe raised his hand to stop them, and they remained in their spots.Just then, Joe's eyes met Stephanie's. "Welcome, Uncle Joe," Stephanie greeted politely, surprised to see him walk in at a perfect time. "My beautiful Stephanie. You didn't inform me of your visit."Stephanie smiled slightly. "I'm sorry for not informing you earlier. I didn't plan it; it just happened. I know you're happy to see me, anyway.""Of course, yes. I'm happy." Joe was beaming with excitement.Then, he turned to look at his attendants. Reading their faces, he could tell that something unpleasant had occurred.He then asked Stephanie, "Who among the attendants provoked you?"Irene's face turned ashen as Stephanie pointed at her. "Irene, quickly explain yourself.""Hurry up; I don't ha

"Oh..." Stephanie was surprised that Irene, who had claimed to be omniscient earlier, could become so humble.To cover up the shame, Irene quickly suggested, "Miss Collins, since you have an interest in this collection, let me reach out to my colleagues for assistance."Stephanie agreed, and Irene called on two of her colleagues.The young ladies came forward, and Irene asked, "Miss Collins would love to know about this collection of rare stones. Does anyone of you have any information about them?"Just as Irene had done, the ladies' eyes were fixated on the collection, staring at it for a long moment.Stephanie finally cleared her throat to break the deafening silence.The first lady spoke up, "I have never come across this rare collection in my entire career."The other lady confessed too, "Since we couldn't help, I believe Sam Trevor should have some information about them." She left to call for Sam Trevor.Stephanie remained calm, watching how they would sort themselves out. This

She was expecting him to mention places like a nice hotel, a beachside, and the like.The fact that this young and handsome man beside her was always unpredictable doubled Stephanie's interest in him."Uncle Joe's gemstone gallery?" she asked again, and Michael nodded in affirmation.Stephanie didn't argue with him since that was his choice. She kickstarted the car engine and said, "It's alright. Let's go have a look at some rare and natural stones."Michael replied with a slight smile, and the car drove off.It was a silent trip throughout the journey. In about a couple of minutes, they arrived in front of a commercial complex.Stephanie led the way in, and Michael followed. Soon, they entered Joe's gallery.

Michael was still fast asleep when his phone began to ring the next morning.After the call rang a second time, Michael's eyes sprang open. He rubbed his temples as he felt a slight headache. His body was heavy, and his mind was as blank as a sheet of paper.The call came through again, and he slowly checked his phone screen—it was a call from Stephanie.Michael picked up the call, and a soft voice came from the other end of the phone. "Good morning, Mr. Quinn.""Good morning, Miss," Michael responded, half-asleep."I'm so sorry for disturbing you so early. I was worried that you left the party unannounced yesterday."Michael exhaled softly as he replied, "My bad. An urgent matter came up."Stephanie didn't argue with him. "I thought as much too."Then, there was a moment of silence at both ends before the lady asked softly, "I don't know if there's a possibility that we will meet again?"Michael smiled slightly. "Of course, yeah.""Really? When is that? Today? Now?" Stephanie teased.

Michael's eyes turned red as he watched the cab disappear into the night. He swallowed hard, suppressing his anger. Then, his phone chimed.His gaze fell on the screen of his phone, and it was a message from Fiona. He hesitated for a moment before opening it."I wrote this text with my mind deep in regret and frustration. I feel so overwhelmed with guilt that I can't stand whatever punishment awaits me.If my punishment should be measured by the gravity of what I have done, I know I do not deserve to live. But I'm using this opportunity to plead with you to genuinely forgive me.I have left the irritant spray and the antidote behind. Probably one of the items might be useful. With tears in my eyes, I will be leaving Silvana City tonight."Michael sighed. He looked behind him and found the two items there.He felt disappointed that Fiona concluded her judgment by herself without knowing his intention.This time, Vivian, who had frozen in shock, was able to walk up to Michael.

Blade went closer to his boy in concern and asked, "How are you feeling now?"The dude's skin color had gradually returned. He looked so relaxed as he nodded, "I feel better."Meanwhile, other staff still had their eyes fixated on Michael. They were trying to fathom how he had gained such incredible power. He used to be that worthless guy in the past. In just a short period, he had become someone of limitless wonders.The truth was that Thunder didn't lose his life earlier. Blade misinterpreted the situation. The dude passed out due to a loss of strength, which caused a pause in his breathing.However, Michael's mind was still more concerned about the other victims of the incident. He couldn't imagine what their situation could be at that very moment.Then, he asked Thunder, "For you to intensely lose your strength, I guess you had a large portion of the meal?"Thunder slowly shook his head in disagreement. "I didn't eat any meal; I was just around the diners. Suddenly, we all began t

The day was already dark as Michael drove to Skyline Restaurant at top speed. Within a couple of minutes, he arrived at his destination.Michael's mind went blank as he saw the entrance of his restaurant in a disorderly state.Half-eaten snacks and different kinds of meals were littered on the floor.An eerie odor welcomed his nostrils as he entered the dining space. The vacant dining tables and chairs were all disfigured with colored vomit.The imagery of what had happened flashed in Michael's mind, and he swallowed hard.Raising his head, he saw all his staff running around in frustration."What's going on here?!" Michael asked hastily in anger.All the staff froze in their tracks as they heard his voice."Welcome, sir.""Welcome, boss," they all rushed to him."I thought I asked a question earlier?" Michael snapped at them.A quick silence swept the floor as they exchanged glances of confusion.Given how angered Michael looked, one of the staff hurriedly spoke up."Yes, sir. Trade
