"Hmm?" The young man full of pockmarks on his cheeks raised his brows while rudely scanning Sett up and down, judging him based on his looks and the way he dressed. 'Who the **** is this guy? With the way he dressed, this dude is nothing impressive!' The pockmarked young man thought to himself as he couldn't help but smirk, but then something clicked in his head."Oh, you must be my new neighbor. You've just moved to that rundown apartment, right?"When Sett came to the realization that he was facing a notoriously fickle-minded person, his lips twitched in irritation. Also, calling his new place "rundown," isn't that a downright slap to his face? Sett shook his head, but at least this fellow still had some common sense in him and was not completely retarded.."Yes, I just moved here the other day...""No, no, I'm not asking that. What I'm trying to say is, we're partying here and being loud..." The pockmarked young man rudely interrupted Sett's words as he spoke arrogantly. "What do
Early in the morning, Sett woke up feeling revitalized. His sleep was perfect; it felt good as the morning glory of the sun shone on his face. He stretched out his hand. Suddenly, he heard the doorbell ring, pulling him out of his daydream. His left eye twitched in annoyance. At that juncture, Sett opened the door, and he was startled to discover who the dude was. "D*mn, you're giving me a heart attack!" Sett snapped at Kent, who was standing in front of his door. "Why are you here and what the h*ck do you want?" Sett raised his sword-like brows as he spoke, and he didn't want to beat around the bush as he got straight to the point. Who in their right mind wouldn't be startled to see their ignoramus neighbor? And on top of that, they had a conflict yesterday. Just as Sett was about to interrogate Kent, aiming to find out what this Kent dude was up to, he heard him say something unbelievable. "I-I'm sorry..." His voice sounded more like a mosquito. Huh? What the... At this junc
At the prestigious hospital, the nurse that was in charge of the private medical ward was surprised to find it was deemed to be an ordinary visit from the lady who had introduced herself as Madam Scarlett.Their patient Charles Crossword, who was supposed to be in a coma, had shockingly spoken her name with such familiarity in response to her arrival... But what was baffling to see was how calm Ms. Scarlett was, as though she had already expected that Charles would respond to her arrival. "Little Jane... You're as beautiful as your mother." At this time, Charles Crossword turns her face toward Ms. Scarlett's direction with his blurry eyes. "How is your mother?""Dead.""I see..." Charles's expression turn lonely as Ms. Scarlett's mother was an influential woman, he was one of her admirers but he knows that a lady like her, had no chance of being with her... Hearing his daughter say that she was dead filled his heart with sadness. "It must have been hard on you, little Jane. I'm sorry.
Sett looked a bit confused at Sheila, who for some reason was gazing at him with a worried expression.'Huh? Why is my face wet?' Sett was baffled, but then he sensed coldness on his left cheeks, so he subconsciously touched his left cheek and that's when it hit him..."I'm crying. How come?" Sett let out a blank expression.Indeed, Sett was crying... They were saying that the rain was because the beautiful clouds could no longer handle the humidity and just like tears, they fall because the heart can no longer hold the pain."Spokesman, Mr. Crow, what's the matter?" Sheila couldn't understand what had goten into him that would cause the spokesperson to abruptly shade tears.Moments ago, when they had just entered the train, Mr. Crow, the spokesperson, was okay. He was pretty spirited, yet in the blink of an eye, he would suddenly cry with a blank look on his face. It was startling!"I'm alright.." Sett mumbles in reply, then lifts his head and gazes warmly and gently at his wife, Shei
At the Treasure Palace entrance, a security guard could be seen using his large frame to bar Sett and Sheila from further entry. This resulted in a handful of the onlookers raising their brows at the security guard. However, apart from the onlookers shaking their heads, they walked away. To them, it wasn't their problem, so who cares if Sett and Sheila were being stopped?"Sir, why can't we enter? Is there a problem?" Sheila inquired, but when she was saying that her tone wasn't as usual, obviously she was keeping her anger in check.On the other hand, Sett could understand why his wife, Sheila, was using that tone. Naturally, it was because they were the only ones being blocked! Clearly, the other guests who came here didn't even have any kind of entrance invitation or anything of that sort.... If this isn't intentional, then what?However, the next words of the security guard made it all clear."Ma'am, you'll have to pass through our scanner if you want to enter as we suspect you are
Sheila couldn't help but be amazed as her eyes continued to scan the Treasure Palace auction house. Sheila paid more attention to the details than Sett did, even though the place was very beautiful and mesmerizing. It truly deserves to be known as the best auction house in Darian City! The other establishment couldn’t even hold a candle when comparing its interior. The artisan to make the auction house and its entirety must be really famous. "Beautiful..." Sheila mumbled, completely ignoring Sett, who was clicking his tongue as he watched the few floors that had private rooms. Obviously, only those with high status or those who came from wealthy family backgrounds had the right to enter those private rooms; otherwise, they would be thrown outside. There was no exception for the poor. Just then, Sett heard Sheila mumbling. "It reminds me that there was an interesting history of the auction house, where the whole nation was being auctioned off after the Emperor was killed...." Hear
Sett could see those young masters from various families raising their arrogant noses in the air and shouting their floor bids in millions of dollars at the drop of a hat! 'I hope these guys go broke...' And just like that, the auction house went on, until only a few properties remained to be auctioned off. The lady auctioneer nodded in satisfaction as everyone seemed to be willing to let go of their wealth! She couldn't help but rub her hands together as she narrowed her eyes at the people on the lower level, but then she put on a pleasant smile toward the VIP floors. "Calm down, everyone; I'm sure the next item up for auction will catch you off guard!" When the lady auctioneer said that everyone's ears were on all ears. The lady auctioneer took a deep breath as she uttered. "Because of the recent tragedy that took place in the Bob group, they had decided to sell it off!" "What!? Isn't the Bob group a real estate company?" Indeed, everyone was caught by surprise. Even the calm you
The people inside the venue made a stir after the announcement. No one could blame them for doing so, as they were talking about properties that reached a billion dollars!The question was, would the young man who had bid 900 million dollars a moment ago still bid now that the young tycoon of the Ratherford family had joined the bidding?There was a suffocating silence in the venue as all eyes darted on Sett, observing him.... Sett's brows unconsciously twitched, feeling irritated. 'Why are these people pressuring me? Do I have to give up or not?' Sett thought before he breathed out. On the stage, the auctioneer swept her gaze at the crowd. She even momentarily paused her gaze at Sett, before proceeding to loom for any more courageous bidder. Seeing that there was none, her face showed disappointment."Is there any higher bid?" As no one responded, she began to count. "Hitting once!"Actually, she was expecting the bidding to reach a billion dollars and a half. Any lower than that
