The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 8
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

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
