2024-12-17 19:29:32He shoved the door open and all he could feel was a sharp piercing needle pummelling through his heart. His heart got shattered instantly.
Dylan moved clumsily with tears brimming in his eyes as he watched his trusted girlfriend, who was already in cloud nine with Mr. Taylor's son. At first, he thought of turning back and leaving them to enjoy the moment since they were oblivious that someone was watching. But rage coupled with frustration trapped his feet to the ground, and he watched closely as the remaining piece of his heart got shattered the more. He couldn't take it anymore...I got beaten all because I need money to buy her a birthday present and here she is cuddling with my Boss's son. "Ashley...!!" He yelled in a loud agonizing voice. Dylan's voiced jolted Ashley from her realm of emotional pleasure. "Uhm..." She looked up and saw Dylan's bruised face masked with pain as hot tears welled up his eyes. "Dylan...." She quickly covered themselves with the duvet. "What are you doing here?" She tried to hide her nervousness with a smile. "Really? What am I doing here? And here you are, having a wonderful time with not just anyone but my Boss son, after I told you about getting my salary to buy you a birthday gift ." he chuckled bitterly and turned towards Taylor's son, who was already dressed, "Desmond...." He gulped. "After everything your family did to me, you are not satisfied that you still have to take my girlfriend away from me?" He said with bitterness lurked beneath his voice. "Hey... Watch the way you talk to me you little piece of shit...!" Desmond retaliated with annoyance in his tone. He wasn't feeling any sign of remorse. "Stay away from my girlfriend because the next time you go...." He didn't finish his warning before he saw Desmond locking lips with Ashley right in his presence. He felt an intensified pain that the only thoughts hovering over his head was dashing towards Desmond and beating hell out of him. Ashely reciprocated the kiss, which turned into a passionate one. "Yes...? And If I don't, what are you going to do... poor shit, huh? Can you imagine this cleaner that clean my house. You're so dramatic." He said and went back into the bed. "It's over between us, Dylan, Don't you get it. I'm not in your class anymore." She said as Desmond's hand found her hips, took them and moved them to her butt. It felt massive, firm and a great hold. "You heard that, poverty-stricken shit." Desmond voiced out and kissed her again. Making it look extremely obvious that she was all for him. "He forced you right? I know he forced you to do this, Ashely, listen to me, he's just using you and once he's done. He is going to dump you, that's what Desmond is fond of doing in campus. And one thing you should...." "Shhhh.....!!!! Enough of this bullshit, you're ruining the moment and no one forced me to do anything. We both know how hard you work before getting money, You had to beg for your salary before you can get a birthday gift for me... Gosh!!! Who knows..? You might have been kicked out of campus if not for your scholarship. I want more than that. I need a life....!! I'm sick and tired of staying with a low class budget like you. Don't you get that?" "And yes... I have been seeing Desmond for a long time now. So it's very obvious I have graduate from your class long ago." She cussed. "Why are you still standing there? Has poverty block your ear pores too? It's over. Ashley and I are currently dating. She's happy with someone that can provide her needs for her." The more Desmond keep talking the more Dylan feel like shutting him up forever, but here he was, feeling annoyed and powerless like usual. "After all these years? You just can't do this to me, this isn't fair." Dylan couldn't hold himself anymore. Tears rolled down his cheek and he quickly clean the stray of tears off and put on an icy face betraying what he actually feel inside. "What isn't fair? You waiting till it's my birthday before getting me what I want? Can you take care of me. Gosh...! You haven't been able to even take care of yourself. It had always been a shame walking with you in school. You irritate me a lot if I never told you." With that she stood up angrily and covered herself with her nightwear. Ashley had never insulted him like this before. At first, he thought he was dreaming, but this was reality and when he thought he had something ongoing, Mr. Taylor's family ruin everything for him. Desmond Taylor is one of the famous dudes in school and every girl's dream not because of how handsome he were, but because of his fame and money. Dylan had to accept reality that handsomeness isn't everything. Desmond walked towards Dylan with an accomplishment smile extended over his face. Dylan's hand formed a solid mass as his fingernails sank into his palm causing his hand to nearly bleed. "Now I see why my Dad didn't want to help you. Hahaha," he laughed mockingly as he closed the gap between them. Dylan wasn't just handsome in large margin than Desmond, he was taller unlike Desmond who was averagely short. "Mr. Taylor didn't help, I worked for it and he refused to pay me when I need the money. How do you describe that? Wickedness or help? I think it's the former." "Don't you dare insult my Dad. You know what, we're not paying a dine and I'll let the whole school know that you worked as a cleaner and how you lost your girlfriend because you couldn't take her of care." Desmond threatened with a cynical smile lingering over his face. He saw many reasons why he should beat the hell out of Desmond, but he gave it a rethink and came to the realization that it wasn't worth it. Fighting for someone who deny you all because of some rich dude. It wasn't worth it, and Punching him will only increase his suffering. He had finally gotten a chance to see through Ashley. She wasn't different from other campus girls after all. And today she showed her true colour. "Today, you rejected me because I'm broke. Tomorrow, you will regret that you made a grave mistake." With an icy face, he said and stormed out of the room in a huff, slamming the door behind him forcefully. Just as he left, his cellphone rang and it was a text message from a W******p group: The Tripod, his Friends at campus. They were just three of them in the group. Barry: [Hey man, you got the gift for her already?] He heaved in frustration and silent his phone immediately. He slumped onto a nearby bench, feeling emptied and perplexed. Dylan raised his head up and glared at the featureless grey blanket of low clouds in the sky, with his heart heavily laden with sorrow. "God... Why is my life like this? Why am I so unfortunate? I just want to be happy... Is that so much to ask." He uttered with a dolorous tone as his financial life teared down on him. He stood up and headed for campus, but the image of Ashley and Desmond kissing just couldn't get out of his head. Today was a day to remember indeed "Arghhhhhh.... But I did everything for her. Loved her and cared for her. Haven't I don't enough. Why does she have to cheat on me." As he walked aimlessly and distraught down the road, a speeding car came out of nowhere, and before he could react, it swept him off with a tremendous force. CRASH....!!!

Dylan's body was sent flying through the air, crashing to the ground with a sickening thud. He lay there, bleeding and motionless, his vision fading to black as his head spun wildly. The tears he had been holding back finally broke free, and in that moment, he felt utterly alone and forsaken. The pain was overwhelming, and he couldn't move a muscle. His mind was a jumble of thoughts, but one question kept echoing: "Is this the end?" He thought about all he had lost, and how he had nothing left to lose. The world seemed cruel and unfair, and he felt like he was being punished for no reason. As he closed his eyes, a flood of memories from his life flashed before him. He saw glimpses of his childhood, how his parents died in a car accident, his friends, and his lost love. He thought he heard a faint whisper in his mind, but he couldn't quite make out what it was saying. Just then, the faint whisper in his mind became sharper with a resounding voice ringing in his mind. "HOST D

Dylan hurried to a vendor machine not too far from the deserted road to get something affordable. He stared doubtfully at his hands. But scoffed and decided to try it out. "Won't hurt if I try. After all, if it doesn't work out, I will just walk away." With that he surveyed the road and saw that no one was coming. So, he hurriedly placed his thumb to pay the vendor machine. "Ding...!!! Ding..!!" "The Infinite system successfully paid $4." Instantly a candy fell from the vendor machine. "What? Did it just....?" A smile slowly embalmed Dylan's face, but he still don't want to believe it. It was too good to be real. "Ding...!! Ding!!" "Infinite system successfully paid $4" Another candy fell out of the machine. "What the hec----" He was almost screaming out loud, but he cupped his mouth before he could finish screaming. "It real...!!! What if--- No, no no... It just can't be real, maybe the candies are not paid for." "Ding Ding...!!!" "Infinite system successfully paid $12 " Di

"What do you want to pay with sir?" Julian asked with the computer facing him. He confidently brought out his thumb finger and made payment. BEEPS...!!! In a split seconds, the transaction was complete and a $10 Million was paid. When the cashier head the beeping sound, she quickly turn the computer towards her and scrutinized with her heart pounding faster than usual. 'What? The transaction went through. Jeez, that's a huge amount of money and I would have handed myself a promotion by the directors.' She thought regretfully. 'She stole my customer and everyone including the directing board will applaud her for a job well down.' She threw a scornful gaze at Julian. She felt like throwing herself to ground and crying like a baby. "Sir..." Dylan threw a bone-chilling stare at Julian, 'Did she just address me with sir? Money indeed can buy respect. Well, she wasn't rude like this mannerless cashier' He spun towards the Cashier with that 'I told you so' stare, served with a side

Miss Julian headed towards the elevator still in shock, and picked up the phone to call the directing board. "I need to speak with the board, immediately," she said, trying to composed herself. Miss Julian was only allowed to the directing board conferences on special occasions and she doesn't get to choose when to and not to. The conference meeting are mainly for shareholders with exceedingly high shares. So when Miss Julian requested to speak to the directing board physically. It was going to be a difficult request that might take days to be process. But when they heard about someone proposing to buy the Bank, they had no choice than to let her in. A few minutes later, Julian got out on the elevator at the 30th floor and walked into the conference room where the directing board was seated. The hall was sleek and spacious, with a well ventilation, complimented by the floor-to-ceiling windows adoring the wall of the hall. The hall was a true definition of luxury. Powerful figu

"Mr. Dylan, are you comfortable? Do you want anything?" Clara asked ardently. Dylan just threw a glance at her and ignored her like there was no one there. Clara felt embarrassed, despite everything she has done to make sure he gets into the good books of Dylan, it just isn't working. A big shot like Dylan was worth consideration and currying favor from him was her target. "Sir, you know this Bank might cost tens of billions and it can be---" "I know!" Dylan interrupted with a contempt look. 'I was just trying to keep a conversation with you, that's all. You don't have to be rude. You're not even the most wealthy man in the city. No one knows Dylan, so why does he have to behave like the whole world is at his feet. Gosh, it's disgusting and annoying!' Clara rumbled in her mind. If Dylan knew what was going on in her head now, he might have intensify it just to tell what being rude is. Subsequently, the elevator lurched to a stop and Miss Julian alongside Scott Hudson walked ou

'Poverty is not a shame, but the lack of respect for oneself and others is.' Dylan pondered. 'You will do anything? Money indeed can buy respect.' Dylan chuckled coltishly. People say money doesn't buy happiness or respect, well, for Dylan, money have definitely paved the way of him. Respect and power were at his fingertips all because of the money he had acquired. Dylan's expression remained impassive as he delivered the verdict, "Given your willingness to do anything, I've decided that you'll be taking on janitorial duties from this moment." With that, he turned on his heel and strode directly into Miss Julian's office, leaving Clara behind without a second glance. Clara was rooted to the spot, feeling humiliated. She never expected that Dylan was not tempted by her beauty, or he's just not the same with the former shareholders who understood what "I will do anything" means. "He asked me to become a janitor, Isn't this a demotion? But it was better than getting my image tarnis

It was already past midday and all Dylan could think of was how to get to the Xpression Fashion Brand company. It one of the biggest fashion Brand in Stone's City. He needed to dump his old clothes and get some well tailored one. No poor person could actually think of going to Xpression Fashion Brand, unless they are going there to look for a cleaner's job. "How do I get there on time now!" He stepped forward to the taxi stand with the dispatch bag hanging firmly in his hand. Just then, a convoy of luxury cars pulled up, the air was filled with the sound of revving engines and the gleam of polished metal. The three red Porsches and the Black vibrant Ferrari with its iconic logo and curved lines seems to leave everyone at wake A group of muscular men in expensive black suits emboldening confidence and authority emerged from the cars, their presence was so commanding that one could fret at the sight of them. The contrast between their high-end cars and the rusty cars on the street
Ultimate Ruler Of The Infinite World CHAPTER 10
The Ferrari halted and the guards came out of their Porsche car. As the men formed a protective circle around the Ferrari, their movements seemed choreographed, as if they had performed this ritual many times before. They did it exactly the way they did it before. "Do they always do this?" Inquisitive Dylan asked. He hadn't experienced a life like this before and it seems a bit strange to him thinking they do it so much better than those Hollywood movies he had watch. "Of course!" Scott giggled, "And I think you should buy some of them and you know... Some expensive cars to accentuate your status." 'He is trying to say that I look shabby? Well, he's got a point.' "Yeah..." He forcefully chuckled, "I was actually thinking about that too." "I can get you one that matches your status. I have a car company too and we can talk about it." Scott proposed. Dylan's phone beeps again and it was another message from the Tripods; AUSTIN: [Are you here already? Man you gat to see see for y

"Father, you have to believe me. I fought with him and his movement in the darkness are beyond---"Kimura's voice trailed off into an awkward silence immediately his eyes met Mr. Miller's piercing gaze. Those eyes were not friendly and Kimura had to keep shut if he want to live.Mr. Miller ruthlessness is not just to the outside world, but to anyone that disrespect him. Kimura and everyone in the Berg's family knew this."You never learn... Do you?" Mr. Miller took a step closer to Kimura and a dangerous aura exude from him. His father's eyes turned red and he could sense that Mr. Miller is angry with him."I'm sorry, Father... But I'm serious ab---""Enough, Kimura!!" Mr. Miller yelled at the top of his voice and dust particles instantly swirled around them before dispersing. Fear gripped Kimura immediately. He had never seen his father this angry that the dust in ground whirled around them at his voice. He just couldn't wait for the meeting to be over so that he could leave because

When they all saw the elderly man making his way towards them. They all stood up and bowed their head in reverence."Brother? What are you doing here?" Uncle Miles questioned when they were all seated. However, Allen's mood lit up, he was glad to see his father coming over. But Kimura's mood instantly morphed into a sad one. He had always wanted to have a meeting with his father, and now the man he had always wanted to have a discussion with is sitting right in front of him, but he couldn't even stare properly at him. Humiliation and embarrassment masked his face as he stared sadly at the table without raising his head.Kimura felt like he was the most hated member of the Berg's family. And that was the truth, in the Berg's family, the weakest always get the least fair treatment. They prioritize strength over anything in the Berg's family."I was contacted by the Paragon Brotherhood that there's a potential threat to their hierarchy and they need our help." Mr. Miller addressed his

"A Shadow warrior? That's not possible." Allen slammed on the table and stood up with an angry face. He was looking distressed and Kimura just didn't even know why his brother was looking anxious."I'm telling the truth! I fought with him and he can fight swiftly in the night." Kimura's voice was ladened with persuasion. He was trying so hard to convince everyone that Dylan is a shadow warrior. After fighting him with and witnessing Dylan's swift movements in the dark, he was clearly convinced that Dylan is a shadow warrior."You fought with a shadow warrior???" Uncle Miles asked and quickly grabbed Kimura by the jaw and stared intently at his eyes like he was looking for something hidden somewhere in his eyes."Either he's a Shadow Warrior or a Divine Warrior. And I'm certain you didn't defeat him. Why are you alive?" Uncle Miles put on an expressionless face despite looking a bit anxious."He pardon me." Kimura answered and stared at his Uncle with a puzzled expression. Meanwhile
CHAPTER 97
It was dawn and the darkness had just started to fade away when Kimura and his men made their way to the entrance of a great mansion.The mansion was erected on one of the greatest mountains in Stone City. Though the building was looking archaic and out of fashion, it still appeared to be strong and well sophisticated. It was the Berg's family house and no ordinary person enters the building since it was rumored that anyone who isn't invited doesn't return alive and if they do, they will either be bedridden till death comes for them. With all the atrocious things they have done, everyone believed the rumors and dared not to trespass."What took you so long? Do you have a dead wish?" An icy voice sounded from the inside of house. Kimura didn't utter a word as he walked straight into the building and was surprised to see that it was his younger brother; Allen Berg, interrogating him.He quickly scanned the room and saw that out of the eight chairs arranged around the large polished tab
CHAPTER 96
As Dylan released his grip, a wave of relief washed over him like they just brought him out of a burning fire. Kimura had encountered powerful people, but never in his life had he seen the kind of power Dylan just displayed.'He stopped my shadow's attack with just one hand?''Who really is he? Even a master will stop a shadow warrior's attack by also harnessing the darkness too. So how did....?' Kimura just couldn't knock the thoughts off his mind. He currently stared at Dylan with reverence and fear. He has to do everything he was told to do if he want to get out of the building alive.There were some unfathomable urgency hovering over Kimura, he just need to report home that a shadow warrior is in town so they can act fast.With that, he took up his phone and called Desmond. But the sound of a girl moaning in pleasure came out from the other end of the phone call. It was clearly that Desmond was having a pleasurable time with Ashley, that was the only thought in Dylan's mind."Wro
CHAPTER 95
Kimura didn't know when he peed on his body. But that wasn't his main concern now. His whole body was racked with pain and all his muscle seemed to be trembling. But despite his weakened state, Kimura's pride and determination kicked in, and he took Dylan's brutal beating as a challenge to fight and defeat a shadow warrior.Defeating a shadow warrior would grant him great honor in the Berg's family. His rank might be elevated if the news that Kimura defeated a shadow warrior got out.'But who's going to know that Dylan is a shadow warrior?' Kimura pondered in the deep thoughts and glance at the three burly men groaning in pains. 'Since they're still alive, that's a good start! They will definitely testify to Grandmaster that I defeated a shadow warrior.' Kimura summoned every last ounce of strength in him and struggled to his feet. His eyes were blazing with a fierce determination to fight and defeat Dylan."Who sent you?" Dylan asked again with an angry tone. Kimura felt the fury
CHAPTER 94
The knife flew through the dark air but the sound of the knife had suddenly stopped.There was no clang, no thud, no sound of the knife hitting anything. It was as if the knife had just vanished into thin air.Then the lights in the room were flickered back on and Dylan was still holding Betty in a tight hug with his other free hand now gripping the knife. The room was silent, with Mr. Kimura and his armed men staring at Dylan in shock. Kimura tried to hide his amusement, but he just couldn't. He had never seen someone stop his knife attack once, but Dylan stopped it even in darkness.Mr. Kimura Berg took a step backward as he try to process exactly what was happening. Ever since Desmond told him about Dylan, he had been excited to meet Dylan, but with what he was seeing, it looks like he wasn't ready yet."How did he stop your attack in that darkness?" One of the burly man standing close to Kimura asked with a stunned expression. The remaining two guards standing behind Kimura were s
CHAPTER 93
Dylan paced back and forth thinking frantically on what to do and how to save Betty from the webs of Desmond and those that are responsible for her kidnapped.He thought of messaging Austin to help him track Betty's phone but it was already 11pm and Austin might be sleeping. He also doesn't want to raise Austin's curiosity and worry. He just have to handle this by himself without dragging the Tripods into the mess he had created.Just then the thought of the new skill he had acquired struck him. "I can use my Kyrosight Skill to track target right?" "That means I can track Betty's location and save her.""Yes!"Dylan quickly focused on Betty, but nothing was happening. His brow was furrowed with worry and his eyes were darting back and forth with concern. At this point, he wasn't calm at all because he had no thoughts of apologizing to Desmond and was a bit concerned with what those unknown men would do to Betty if he doesn't comply.Dylan exhaled in relief and calmed himself befor
CHAPTER 92
"Who are you? And what are you doing with Betty's phone?" With an infuriating tone, Dylan questioned."Betty is with me and you will do as I say or she will die." A gravelly voice echoed from the other end of he cellphone. The voice wasn't looking familiar at all and Dylan couldn't even connect it to any voice he had heard before."Why do you kidnap her and what's my business in all of this?" Dylan spoke nonchalantly. "You were with her this evening and if she's found dead the next morning, who do you think they're going to suspect... Hahaha.!!!" The man's laughter was like rough stones scrapping against each other.Dylan wanted to pretend that he doesn't care about Betty's kidnap but after the unknown man pointed out that he was with Betty earlier, he dropped the pretending act of actually not caring. Because truly, if something should really happen to her, he will definitely be a prime suspect."What do you want?" Dylan voice was low this time around but firm, and no sense of fear.
