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 figures sat across the plush chairs as they stared at Julian stepping into the conference hall.

Among the three seated shareholders, a person known as Daniel Woodson stood up and welcomed Julian respectfully. He was the youngest and almost same age as Julian.

"Welcome Miss Julian." He gestured graciously at the plush chairs, his hand extending in a gentle invitation.

Daniel Woodson has been known in Stone City as one of the sons of the most powerful figures and they can get anything they want, anytime they wants it. But it has become a difficult act to get Julian to bed. Regardless of his promises, Julian had kept it all professional.

"A kind gesture isn't your thing, Woodson," A man believed to in his 40s; Scott Hudson said, and the other giggled alongside.

Julian just pretended she didn't understand what they were saying. She just have to play it cool and keep it professional as she doesn't want to offend any of this big families.

Though she knew all the advances Daniel Woodson have been throwing at her can actually get her the life she needed, but she have been politely rejecting, even after Daniel voted for her to become a Bank Manager.

"So why the urgent call? And the proposal?"Douglas Splawn spoked. His voice boomed through hall. It was attention commanding.

"Sirs, I have a...an important proposal here. A customer has expressed interest in buying the bank." Julian started instantly.

The room fell silent, with all eyes fixated on Julian. One of the board members tapped a bottom on the boardroom table.

"Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Curry are not in the meeting today and we will like you to repeat what you just said, so they can hear you clearly." Douglas said.

"Did he say he want to buy the Bank?" Daniel Woodson asked with almost a calm voice as she stare at Julian with a smirk.

Julian nodded, "Yes, sir. That's exactly what he said. And he seems quite serious about it."

The room erupted into a mixture of shock, amusement, and confusion.

"This is absurd," Mr. Taylor exclaimed through the speakers. "We can't just sell the bank to anyone who walks in off the street."

Mr. Scott leaned forward, "I think we should at least hear him out. It's not every day we get an offer like this. Julian, can you bring him in?"

"Really? You just gonna bring a random stranger into a conference meeting? That's against our policy." Mr. Taylor expressed over the phone.

"He's not just a random stranger... He's currently our VIP customer. He made a withdrawal of $10 Million in one fold."

"$10 Million...?" They all gasped.

"Wait a minute, who is this person making such a massive offer? What's his background?" Mr. Taylor asked over the phone.

Julian, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up.

"Actually, sir, I did a quick background check on him. His name is Dylan, and he's...a student. That was all on him. Nothing more."

The room fell silent, with the directing board exchanging skeptical glances.

"A student?" Taylor repeated over the phone, "How old is he?"

Julian hesitated before answering. "I think he's...21?"

The directing board burst out laughing, their initial skepticism now replaced with outright amusement. "A 21-year-old student wants to buy our bank worth tens of billions?" Daniel Woodson chuckled.

"This is ridiculous. He must be joking... And Miss Julian, you believed him? Don't tell me you don't know you're a bank manager." Douglas rained on her aggressively.

This was an opportunity to get back at her for refusing to lay with him.

Almost all the shareholders doesn't like Julian at all, because they haven't had their way with her in bed already. Only Daniel Woodson doesn't want to give up or else she might have been demoted the very moment Daniel stopped pushing.

The only indifferent person who keeps it professional was Scott Hudson.

They were all waiting for Taylor's objective response, but he murmured in disbelief. He doesn't know any powerful family with such name. It's doesn't seem like a name he knows.

"So, are we all on the same page here?" Scott asked, his eyes scanning the room for a response. "Are we actually considering selling?"

No one gave a befitting response, they were just murmuring while waiting for Taylor and Mrs. Curry's response since they have almost equal shares after Mr. Scott Hudson.

"I standing clear with Mr. Scott, whatever your decision is... I'm in. Don't have any business at hand that needs quick funding though. So whatever your decision is." Mrs Curry expressed over the phone.

"That's a done deal already..." Daniel giggled as she winked at Julian. "You two shares put together is more than ours, so the ball is in your court Scott." He hasn't said a word without smiling and staring at Julian.

Julian forcefully smiled whenever Daniel stared at her. Pretending it doesn't freak her out was what made her stood out of others that were agitating for the same managing position and many have been laid without getting the position.

"We are selling then. We've made tens of billions as profit already and we will be swimming in more profit if we sell now. Let's sell for $20 Billion, What do you all think?" Scott proposed.

"A student who is just 21 can fork out $20 Billion at once? That's an outrageous amount of money." Taylor expressed his doubts.

"A student who can withdraw $10 Million at once is worth looking into. Might be one of those wealthy clandestine folks. I'm hoping to get to know him if it's a done deal." Scott shrugged.

The discussion was heated, with some board members arguing that the offer was too low, while others believed it was a fair price.

After what felt like an eternity, the directing board finally agreed on a fixed price.

"Tell him it's $22 Billion, fixed price." Scott spoke and dismissed Julian.

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.

    '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.

    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.

    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.

'Austin was definitely right! This is heaven man!' Dylan couldn't help but admired the heavenly made decorations that was so alluring to the eyes. As Dylan walked through the Lobby, one of the security guard approached him with a sneer expression, scanning him from head to his feet. They were ready to deal with anyone who came to cause trouble in the hotel. That was practically their job. "Good Day Sir! Welcome to Opulent Haven Hotel and you'll have to pass through that metal detector with that bag in your hands." The tall and broad security guard spoke with a booming voice.

    He turned and he got behold with a sneer expression that was irritating. It was Ashley's friend, Tracy."Hello Tracy, How you doing?" Dylan spoke with a forceful smile, trying his possible best to withheld his anger.Tracy walked majestically towards him and the first thing she did was to insult him publicly. She did enjoy humiliating and ridiculing him even when he was still dating Ashley."Well, well, well, look what we have here," she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. "If it isn't the lowlife of the century. How's it possible that someone as pathetic as you managed to set foot in a 10-star hotel?"Dylan's face twisted in anger, but Tracy continued to ridicule him. "Do you even know what a 10-star hotel is? It's a place where people with class come to relax, not some dingy place where losers like you hang out.""What the hell are you even doing here?" With malice lingering over her.Dylan's eyes narrowed, his voice low and menacing. "How's that any of your business?" he gro

As she sashayed towards the counter, every head in the room turned, drawn in by her captivating presence. Desmond's eyes widened in awe, his mind racing with admiration. "Whoa, she's stunning!" he thought, his gaze fixed on her, ignoring Ashley who was with him. He couldn't help but feel a spark of attraction, and his confidence surged as he straightened up, trying to make a good impression, thinking to himself, "I've got to get her number!" "It's the Lobby Manager!" Ruth alerted the other receptionist to compose themselves. "Hmm... Well, she's beautiful as always! I envy her." One of the receptionist added with a grin. The Lobby Manager ignored everyone and walked towards Dylan with a smile embalming her face. "Mr. Dylan, I'm Stella Brooks, the Lobby Manager. And I'm truly sorry fo

And it will be extremely challenging for Barry to feed everyone there.It was all shock when Dylan confidently said he will treat the ten of them to a meal."What has gone over you Dylan?

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.

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

    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

    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.

It was clearly that Desmond was having a pleasurable time with Ashley, that was the only thought in Dylan's mind."Wro

    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

    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

    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

    "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.
