2024-08-29 07:26:42It 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 whispered, "I wish to be bestowed with the greatest healing abilities in the world." In a flash, Michael heard the ding sound. Then the usual hologram appeared in his mind. [Congratulations, Michael Quinn. You have been bestowed with the greatest healing abilities in the world.] Michael felt an overwhelming amount of healing knowledge arrives in his memory, then his eyes opened widely. He gazed at the young lady for a while, then found a suitable healing technique in his memory: energy healing. He placed his hand on the lady's forehead, and his palm warmed up. Some sort of green energy flowed out of his palm and swam into the lady's forehead. Suddenly, the lady gasped and the beauty of her face appeared. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her eyes sprang open. She sat up and looked around. "What happened? Where am I? What am I doing here?" she questioned in a panicked tone. "You don't need to panic. You're safe now." She turned her head immediately after she heard the voice behind her. "Who are you?!" she shouted, hurrying to her feet. "Some gangsters wanted to harm you, so I came to rescue you," Michael explained. "You lied! You are a liar! You are one of them! Where are the rest?!" the lady shouted at the top of her voice. "What do you mean? You didn't even appreciate the fact that I saved you." Michael was a bit disappointed. At that moment, some vehicles halted in front of the warehouse with a screeching sound. It was a white Benz and two Toyota Tacoma trucks. A group of burly men jumped out of the trucks, and the Maybach door was pushed open. A man in his 60s stepped out of the Maybach, his face frowning in worry. His majestic aura indicated who he was: a county billionaire. Every item of his outfit screamed luxury and elegance. He looked left and right before he stared at his phone screen. He raised his head instantly. "That's my daughter over there! Get the thug down on his knees before he escapes!" the billionaire ordered the burly men, pointing at the abandoned warehouse. The burly men rushed into the warehouse, and the billionaire followed. They hurriedly circled Michael as they entered, and the billionaire went to his daughter. "Dad!" she called out, running into the billionaire's arms. "My angel, I hope you're not injured." The billionaire scrutinized her as he asked with worry. The lady nodded and nearly burst into tears. "I have told you several times to stop going out without the guards. If not for the tracker, how would I have found out that you're here?" the 60-year-old man admonished. The billionaire raised his head and realized the burly men hadn't made any move. "Hurry up and beat him to a pulp until he confesses!" he thundered. The burly men were about to take action before the young lady shouted, "No, Dad!" There was a pause as they all glanced at the lady. "What's the matter, Cynthia? Let the guards do their job!" the billionaire was enraged. "He was the one who saved me," she disclosed.

"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

She had coughed so hard that she couldn't open her mouth to make a sound anymore.Her eyes were red and half-closed. Despite being sedated, she still found it difficult to sleep.Dr. Ric looked at the vital signs monitor, and hopelessness took over his face.He turned to Lucas, whose face looked unexplainable. "Mr. Wellington, I'm so sorry. I have tried my best, but I don't think there's a solution to her illness." His lips were trembling.Lucas shot a glare at Dr. Ric and his colleagues, who had been attending to Cynthia since they arrived."I thought you all claimed to be the best doctors in this city? Is this the best you can do?" The man shook his head in disappointment."What's it about a minor ailment that you couldn't

Therefore, he welcomed Steelheart wholeheartedly."Thank you for your help, strong one. We can be on our way now."Steelheart bowed slightly to him in respect and requested to drive the car.Michael agreed, and Steelheart jumped into the driver's seat while Michael sat next to him.Sage, in the passenger seat, heaved a sigh of relief as Steelheart's presence eased his mind.King James wished them a safe and successful journey under his breath as he watched the SUV zoom off.Inside the car, their faces looked determined and focused as their thoughts revolved around the challenge before them.Just then, Michael broke the silence, "After conducting a lot of research, I was able to find Zak's location."The others nodded slowly as Michael took out his phone and showed them the route to the wizard's residence on Google Maps.Zak's residence is located in a deep and sca

The beautiful princess gave him a fleeting glance before turning and heading in her own direction.Despite it being just a glance, the air in the atmosphere felt charged at that moment.

The king felt extremely disgusted with Sage immediately. Undoubtedly, such a greedy fellow wouldn't mind ending the king's life if he got paid for it.Before the unexpected could occur, James had already resolved to end Sage's life first.Michael was still dumbfounded as he found it hard to understand how an elderly man could be so greedy. If not for his greed, there's a chance that the protection mirror wouldn't have gone missing.As soon as Sage saw the disgust and anger on their faces, he quickly protested,"Your Highness, please don't get me wrong! That was my intention when I got the fabricated black opal, but not anymore! That was why I returned the genuine black opal to the treasury after I realized that money isn't the pinnacle of everything in life."King James' face remained stern as he stared at the unreliable elderly man. Even though there was a hint of genuineness on his face as he protested, it was still very hard to believe him.James then turned to Michael and said, "M
Chapter 118
A total fright took over the room as the revelation restricted the air in the atmosphere.Given that the king had once witnessed Zak in action in Colston City, that made him realize who Sage described in the narration.Zak was a popular wizard in Colston City; however, only a few people had been privileged to see him in person.Aside from that, this ruthless wizard was known for devouring human beings on a whim without opening his mouth. Zak could manipulate time and mess with whatever he targeted.The king tried to understand that he must have spared Sage that night so as not to leave a trace of his visitation.The only question that revolved around King James' mind now was why Zak came for Silvana City's protection mirror.He could remember he had never had any business with the wizard in the past, let alone had a clash with him. Why Silvana City's peace was a problem for him left him with questions.King James sighed heavily as he let go of Sage's shoulders. He turned to Michael, w

An impatient facial expression appeared on the king's face. All he wanted to know was the current location of the protection mirror. The longer the sacred mirror remains missing in Silvana City, the closer unimaginable disasters are likely to strike the city.At that moment, Sage's face looked so bitter, and his lips were trembling. The more he was about to speak, the more tears ran down his cheeks."On the night of Prince Liam's last birthday..." Sage bit his lower lip, trying to hold back his tears.Michael paid more attention to the elderly man as he began to explain. He was so impressed by how the king had perfectly handled the situation up to this moment.If the king hadn't been watching Sage, who would have known he had a secret to reveal?Sage was weeping hard as he continued, "While the celebration was ongoing that night, I was lured out of the celebration grounds by a stranger.""Without any discussion, he gifted me five million dollars as a kind gesture."Michael and King Ja

King James was stunned and refused to believe his eyes. He felt his mind playing a trick on him as he walked closer to the shelf in doubt.Sage and Michael had their eyes on the king as they saw him stop before the shelf, staring in a direction.Meanwhile, the king was surprised that what he saw was real. The protection mirror was hidden behind other valuables on the shelf. It was a hexagonal-shaped mirror with traditional intricacies.Michael and Sage were still watching the king as he stood there when he reached for the mirror and turned to them.They were befuddled to see the traditional mirror in his hand. Who would have thought that the protection mirror, capable of saving the whole city, was sitting there?However, King James's face tightened in rage as he asked Sage, "The loyal one, tell me how this got here?"Sage's ocean of tears dried immediately as he rose to his feet. He wore a bland expression as he gave his two cents."It's very understandable, Your Highness. That foolis

King James and Michael were stunned to hear that from Sage. A surprised look was directed at the elderly man as the king snapped at him in rage."What do you mean by that, Sage? Are you trying to silence her?"Sage quickly composed himself, waving his hands in decline. "Don't get me wrong, Your Highness. I meant what else does she have to say, as it was already obvious that she is a skillful thief.""If not, how was she able to steal the key card that I used a few minutes ago to sneak into the jewel room? My king, there's a high chance that she was the one who stole the protection mirror. Her skill is highly bewildering!"Sage's stance introduced a bit of confusion into the atmosphere. However, even though his points were worth pondering, they were quite unbelievable.The king wondered how it was possible for the lady to steal the key card from him without any of them finding out. That had to be magic.The king didn't argue with Sage as he realized Sage was trying to manipulate their
Chapter 114
They were all extremely stunned to find the gemstone with the lady.The king's face turned seriously angry at her. If they hadn't caught her here, they wouldn't have discovered the theft.King James had a cold stare at her, wondering how long she had been stealing from the treasury. He was left in the middle of his thoughts, struggling to believe that she was the one who stole the protection mirror.Then, the king angrily said to her, "So, you've been the one stealing all the valuables in this treasury!""Your Highness, that's not true. This is my first time visiting the treasury, and this is the only valuable I took. Pardon me." She quickly explained with utmost fear, letting go of the black opal.Just then, a thought came to James's mind as he confronted Sage. "King adviser, I remember we only have one black opal in this treasury, and it has been given to Mr. Quinn. Where does this come from?"Sage took a moment to think before he replied, "That's true, Your Highness. We have given

They all quickly walked forward in that direction with curiosity."Who's there?!" King James asked sternly as they got closer to the corner. However, there was no response.Instantly, they all checked around the corner but couldn't find anyone.Sage heaved a sigh and said, "Could it be that we overheard things?""I don't think that's true. If not, why do we all react to the sound at the same time?" Michael's observation swept away Sage's point.Sage was about to further argue with Michael when they heard a heavier grunt right in that same spot.This time, they all caught the exact angle from which the sound came and walked briskly toward it.King James was closer to the direction. He saw nothing else there but a big, old carton that seemed to be empty. James doubted if his instinct was right as he slowly opened the empty carton.Boom!They were all shocked to find a skinny young lady hiding in the big carton. She was grunting heavily due to the excessive heat. She looked extremely exh
