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
"How true is that?" the man asked in doubt, scrutinizing Michael from head to toe. The dude looked so young and lean. 'How was he able to rescue my daughter with such a slim body?' the man questioned inwardly."I'm very sure, Dad," the lady assured.Then, the man beckoned to the burly men to give him some space. He walked closer to Michael, staring into his eyes. Then he moved on to studying his body language.The billionaire had once studied criminology in school. It was easy for him to detect a criminal if he found one.Meanwhile, Michael wasn't afraid, nor was he fazed.After a while, the man stretched his hand forward for a handshake. "Thank you for saving my daughter."Michael took a few seconds pause before he locked hands with him and replied, "It wasn't a problem."After that, the man asked Michael, "The information that reached me indicated that the gangsters are up to four in number. How were you able to handle that?"With a bland facial expression, he responded, "Life matte
Michael walked into the customer support center calmly. The department looked so empty, with only one staff member remaining as the day's hours drew to a close.The staff member remaining in the department was a lady, and she had her attention on the computer screen before her."Good afternoon, Miss. I need assistance with my account," Michael explained as he approached her.The lady raised her head and scrutinized Michael with a cold glance. Her face contorted in disgust, and she returned her gaze to the computer screen.Judging Michael by his outfit, she felt he wasn't worth her time. She stayed behind because of the big names who visit the bank when it’s almost empty.After attending to them, she could stylishly ask for tips. Meanwhile, Michael looked so poor. He wasn't included among the group of people for whom she stayed behind."I only want you to check my account balance..." Michael was explaining when the lady snapped at him."Allow me to breathe, young man. The bank is close
"I never knew you were around; I would have welcomed you to my office personally." The woman was trembling where she stood.Everyone in the office was lost about what was happening, including Michael. He didn't know the woman from anywhere; how did she recognize him then?Moreover, she didn't just recognize him; she was addressing him with the utmost respect.Juliana couldn't raise her head to look Michael in the eyes. Then, she pleaded with a stutter, "Mr. Quinn, I... apologize for being so... careless. Please do not be offended by the mess that happened earlier."Michael wasn't comfortable with the fact that such an elderly woman was bowing to him. Then he played along, "It's fine, Mrs. Thomas."Juliana let out a sigh of relief and returned to her height. "Thank you so much for your kindness, sir. I will be so glad to attend to you in my office.""Okay, then," Michael responded, turning to leave."Where do you think you're going?" Austin jumped in front of him instantly, blocking hi
Meanwhile, Austin had been ranting since he was thrown out of the bank. His blood was boiling with anger, and he might explode at any moment.He placed his palm on his face, rubbing the swollen part gently. The more his memory reminded him of the strike of the slap, the more he felt the fresh pain of it."Sorry, honey, I will help you with the massage when we get home." Hannah moved closer to him to comfort him.As soon as the lady was closer to Austin, he sent two striking slaps to her face.Whoosh! Strike!Hannah was bewildered. She stared at her crazy boyfriend with tears welling up in her eyes."Austin, what have I done wrong?" Hannah's voice trembled, and the tears at the corners of her eyes trailed down her cheeks.The crazy boyfriend felt fulfilled and began to mock her when he saw the red print of his palm on her face."Oh, I'm very sorry. When we get home, I will help you with the massage," he mimicked with a scowl."It's better if we both share the same pain," he added, paci
Then, he saw the hologram in his mind. Carefully, he read the information on it.[Notice! You’ve reached the end of your free wishes. Earn gems by completing tasks issued by the system. With the gems, you can make more wishes.]Michael's eyes snapped wide in disappointment. He never expected the system to let him down this time.Even though all the information he had just received wasn't so clear to him, at least he was able to understand that he couldn't make any wishes at that time.Agatha, who had been watching Michael's strange body language, began to taunt him, "Does it mean that you've begun to lose your senses?"Michael didn't even pay her any attention. His mind was more engaged in the thought of how he could retrieve the document before leaving.That was the only valuable item he had. He can't let it go."Pack this speck of dirt you call belongings and leave right now! I can make your life miserable if you push me to the wall!" the woman barked harder.Michael silenced Agatha
"Slap!""Thwack!!""Whap!!!" Teeth were seen flying in the air.Michael cleared all the thugs with heavy slaps in a second as they charged toward him.They had come to fight him because the one who hired them had been slapped. It was a great match, giving them harder slaps on their faces to fuel their rage. The worst they could do was exactly what Michael wanted.Kim and Austin were utterly stunned seeing all the boys on the floor, groaning. They all had red and swollen faces, worse than Austin's. Furthermore, almost all their teeth were uprooted, making their mouths covered with blood.'Is this a slap or something else?!' Austin's mind raced.At the sight of that, Kim's anger peaked. "Ah!!" He yelled at the top of his voice, aiming a punch at Michael's face.The guy gave him the chance until he grabbed the thug's arm, a millimeter from his face."Learn how to say no to certain assignments," Michael said to him coldly."Crack!!" Michael twisted Kim's arm, leaving it fractured.Kim's e
"Where would a poor boy like him get five thousand dollars?""Umm... Don't say that. He steals around; he should have the money.""I doubt that he has fifty dollars.""Then, he can enjoy his vacation here until whenever."The policemen began to mock and laugh at Michael.However, Michael wasn't even listening to whatever they were saying. He was more concerned about how he could get himself out of there.Five thousand dollars was the last thing he should be bothered about. Unfortunately, the least transaction he could process was $100 million.He fished out his phone to make a call. However, the damaged screen of his phone didn't allow him.Michael gritted his teeth in anger. The fact that the evening was already getting darker enraged him the most.'Do I have to spend a night here for a crime that never happened?' he questioned in his mind worriedly.Then, he searched his pocket, hoping he could find some dollar bills to bribe the policemen. He just wanted to get the hell out of the
