WISH TO BE RICH FOOD STORAGE
The rest of Johnathan’s lectures were stacked on top of each other and as such, he was busy moving from one location to the other just to attend.Thankfully, the lecture halls and buildings his lectures for the day were had were within proximity of each other.It was until 5 pm that he was finally able to finish all his lectures for the day but he still stuck around, doing some personal reading until the time got to 6:30 pm which is when the lecture halls are usually closed by security.He had lost track of time until a security guard came to remind him and also tell him to leave because he wanted to close the lecture hall he was reading in. Johnathan packed and left, realizing how late it had gotten when he saw that he was one of the few students in the building who were all also leaving. From how the students he saw were dressed, they were either on scholarship or sponsored. He was technically the only rich kid in sight which was understandable because those students don’t study t

“What?! You want to do what?!” She exclaimed with shock.“I said I would like to pay for all the food you have left and you can give them to the kids” Johnathan replied.“Why would you do that? I already said we were going to pack them for the kids so you’ll be wasting your money on food that is already being used for the same purpose” She said in a panic as Johnathan was accessing his student portal to pay for the food“What do you mean by wasting my money? I’m only doing this because if I don’t then you’ll be at a loss. We can both see how plenty that food is and what the amount that would be lost because of it is” Johnathan replied then pressed the scanning part of the payment, ready to scan the barcode to pay whatever he has to.“B-but, why would you do something like this?” She asked stutteringly.Johnathan shrugged “let’s just say I like the food and I know for the quality to be like that, it takes a lot of money which means you guys barely break even considering that Wellstone

"George, why do you have my notebook?" Johnathan asked, keeping his cool and trying to change the topic as a distraction."Huh?" George mumbled."I said, why do you have my notebook also, what are you doing on my side of the room and going through my stuff without my permission, huh George?" Johnathan asked as he slowly walked to George who looked lost for words.He stretched his hand and said with a frown "George, give it to me" He kept calling George’s name in every sentence he said as that is a psychological trick that makes the person being talked to become self-conscious and as a result would let him control the flow of the situation. This was something he learned from one of his tutors for effective business negotiations."Oh, I didn't mean to pry," George said as he handed the book to Johnathan.Johnathan took it and was looking at George skeptically as he checked the page George was just looking at."Did you see anything else in here?" Johnathan asked and George shook his hea
WISH TO BE RICH GATHERING AT THE ARENA HALL
The next day came along and Johnathan went to his class as normal, ripping out anything related to his mission from his notebook and documenting all his ideas on his phone, and encrypting it so it cannot be seen by anyone else from that point onward.Throughout the day, he had this looming feeling like he was being watched while also knowing who it could be, Jack Silver, but he didn’t know if he was being paranoid or if his feelings were valid.He never saw anyone following him so he discarded the thought and focused on his school activities.By noon of that day, everyone got a message about what time the gathering for tomorrow’s raffle was going to take place and instead of noon as they thought, it was going to take place by 4 pm, a time which none of the students have classes.They wondered why it was that way when around that time is when the Vice Chancellor closes from work and should be on his way home but here he was, approving a gathering at a time when he and the other officia

“I can’t believe it, Mr. Rose Dana is in Wellstone”“The Mr. Rose Dana is in Wellstone? Someone please slap the fuck out of me, I think I’m dreaming right now”“I know what my eyes see is real but my mind just won’t allow me to believe it”“I always knew that because of the status a school like Wellstone has, getting to see important people in politics and business from across the world is a given but I never thought I would one day see Mr. Rose Dana. This is crazy”“That man is the single reason why I’m here, studying a business-related course right now and I never thought I would end up being in the same room as him in my life. Did I die while walking in here and went to heaven?”The students were passionately murmuring amongst themselves and if they could, they would run up to Mr. Rose Dana to shake his hand and hug him.However, they had to comport themselves as he was a guest of the school and he was to be respected and not bothered no matter what. Anyone who tries anything stupi
WISH TO BE RICH RAFFLE DEADLINE EXTENDED
“This is getting interesting if I should say so,” Johnathan said and George who heard him this time smiled.“I know right? Getting adopted by someone like Mr. Rose Dana is crazy. That’s a fairytale come true, like the plot of one of those Urban novels I read sometimes. Imagine being poor all your life and then getting adopted by a trillionaire overnight, what a life-changing event that’ll be. I wonder who the winner is going to be at the end of all this” George said and Johnathan looked at him skeptically.“You make it sound like you don’t think you have a shot at winning. You know anything is possible and maybe your numbers will be called” Johnathan said and George grimaced.“Anything is possible I know but what’s the chance of me winning when I didn’t even participate, to begin with,” George said and Johnathan became shocked.“Wait, you didn’t? Well, I guess there’s still some time left so you can do it now before it’s too late” Johnathan suggested as a joke because he already knew

“What for?” Both of them asked.“I said gimme your phones and show me your portals. Something tells me that I can’t trust you two” Bradley said as he opened his hands to collect their phones.“Umm, my phone is dead right—“ Chris was saying but Bradley cut him off.Bradly grabbed his collar and said “I told you to bring your phones and show me your portal. Do it now or regret it later” Chris was shaking so Bradly looked at his trouser pocket which had a phone-sized budge so he took it for himself.Bradly used Chris’ face to unlock the phone then he accessed his student portal, already knowing his login details.“Here you go Bradly, look,” Marcel said as he showed Bradly his portal and he wasn’t participating in the raffle.“Alright, you’re good. Lucky you, because you would have been in for a world of hurt if you were participating after I told you not to. This just leaves—“ Bradly said then looked at Chris’ portal and saw something which made him frown.“What do we have here? A backs
WISH TO BE RICH WINNING TICKETS
Dr. Willstrum who had gotten a microphone of his own asked Mr. Rose Dana to wait a moment before starting the raffle and the elderly gentleman waited.Now given the time he asked for to address the students, Dr. Willstrum used it to remind them to watch their raffle ticket numbers carefully so they don’t miss when it’s called as they won’t be repeated once passed.When that was done and all the students were watching their phone screens like hawks and listening to the numbers that would be called like rabbits, Mr. Rose Dana commenced.“The first number is seven,” Mr. Rose Dana saidIn the raffle basket were a hundred tennis balls of five different colors. This meant that twenty balls in the basket were of the same color and Mr. Rose Dana is to pick one of each color to make the five winning numbers.The balls of the same color are meant to reflect the first twenty numbers which are zero to nineteen. This means that the winner should have a combination comprising of those numbers in co

The paramedic who had the syringe in his hand paused, jaw dropped, leaning back and filled with utter confusion.Anthony who was seeing all of this instantly got a look of disgust aimed at Franklin and what he just did."What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that, take away the only thing that’s saving your life right now?!" Anthony asked while he grimaced.He pulled himself away from Franklin and then with the anger still in him but now also mixed with a state of confusion, he pushed a weakened Franklin to the ground."Just what the hell do you want from me?!" Anthony yelled in an exasperated manner, looking down at Franklin who was holding on to his neck and trying to breathe in as much air as he possibly could.Contrary to being the one who had inflicted pain on everyone else, physically or otherwise, Anthony looked like he was in more agony than anyone else, huffing and trying to find a way to get calm."Alright you fool, that's enough from you.

Chaos ran wild as many of the patients in the main entrance of The Meteor Garden hospital scattered for either their safety or as a knee-jerk response to Anthony and Franklin.Some were patients with high sensitivity like epilepsy, autism, or Tourette so the sudden act of violence was enough to trigger them.Being among the few staff there and a proactive one at that, the nurse behind the counter hurriedly grabbed the landline and put out a call."Can we get some medics over here in the main area, right now?! We need as much help as possible with handling the patients and also to put a stop to a visitor who's gone crazy!" she yelled into the mouthpiece then slammed the landline back on itself.The nurses were able to get to the more mentally balanced patients who only fell to the floor while trying to move away from Anthony and Franklin.As for those currently going crazy, they needed more serious help from the paramedics who were able-bodied enough to appropriately handle the situati

["Hello? Who is this?"] Finally, after three attempts his call was answered."This is Anthony, Mr's Faller. I was just calling to see how Samuel was doing" he sat in the bed with his shoes off but still had his casino dealer outfit on.["Umm, he's fine. It's already way past his bedtime so he should be in bed sleeping. Is anything the matter?"]After hearing this, Anthony second-guessed himself on if Samuel was okay or not.Anthony thought that he might just be worrying for nothing. "It's nothing, I just wanted to call since it's been a while since I last did, that's all" he smiled["It has been a minute since you called but honestly I can't blame you, not when you and my husband have something so serious like Ama— Oh, sorry I mentioned that"] she covered her mouth.Anthony chuckled as a way to lighten the mood "You don't have to be ma, I also know how this has shaken your family so don't hold yourself on my account. I'll be just fine" he smiled["I'm glad to hear that and you make su

'The features, the resemblance, it's all so uncanny' Even in the intensity of the reproach, a conflicting thought lingered in Franklin's mind as he stared at Anthony.Anthony's face didn't undergo any negative changes after being accused, he remained as unfazed and stoic as ever "What are you talking about Sir, cheating in what game?""Don't play dumb with me kid, the others may have been too distracted to notice but I had my eyes on you the entire time and I know sleight of hand when I see it. Nothing can escape these trained eyes of mine" Franklin said."Okay sir, sounds like you're talking about a magic show you must have gone to. Sleight of hand? How does that have anything to do with me, a simple part-timer?" Anthony scrunched his eyebrows, tilting his head to the left."Why you!" Franklin exclaimed, smacking his tongue afterward.'Who is this kid? He couldn't be him could he?' Franklin's glare became even more intense and with that, it was evident that he wasn't going to back do

Since the beginning, the manager had had his head bowed ever so slightly that it looked like he had a slouch but in truth, he didn't ("Oh, one last thing. Always remember to lower your head when in the presence of these guests.") The manager told Anthony during the interview but Anthony responded with silence at the time.The manager took that as compliance but he was wrong as he has been glaring at Anthony but Anthony wasn't lowering his head to the guests. Instead, he was looking them straight in the eyes.Angry at Anthony, the manager wanted to address the topic but couldn't in their presence so he would have to remain quiet about it until they leave.However, what he didn't expect was that both VIPs didn't seem bothered about Anthony not acting overly subservient around them. They were even more accepting of him than the manager had calculated, especially from the man on the left."So how did you get so skilled in cards kid? You also gamble a lot?" Asked the VIP on the left, puffi

"Ah! I caught you!" Exclaimed a panting voiceSeeing Samuel getting shoved and falling towards the street, Anthony screamed out his name, reflexively reaching out with one of his hands even though the distance between them was too great that he wouldn't even be able to do anything.The driver of the incoming truck panicked and smashed the brakes as hard as he could.Unfortunately, the distance between them was so small that their impact was certain, but still, he tried. The truck's tires skid forward, about to hit Samuel while at the other side of the road Anthony watched, unable to do anything.Suddenly, his eyes flicked to a few meters behind Samuel where he saw a man, an aged man in a carton brown pants suit, reaching out for Samuel.Everything happened so fast that before Anthony knew it the aged man had grabbed onto Samuel's wrist, then pulled the preteen towards himself.*VROOM*The truck passed, nobody was hit and the person on the passenger seat, whose heart felt like it was

Outside the Grand Blue Restaurant, Anthony brought out the ID card to stare at it, about to make a left turn into the next road."Who could have thought that this tiny thing would mean the difference between being jobless and under the control of my f*cking in-laws and now having part-time jobs in three different locations? I could have gotten my share of her hospital bills already if I had just done this since day one" he mumbled, finally turning the corner He scoffed "I guess it all happened for a reason because I wouldn't be trying to regain my power if I ha—" out of nowhere, a kid ran into him and fell to the ground."Ouch, my butt!" The kid complained, wincing and rubbing his butt "Why don't you watch where you're walking Mr." The kid yelled, not even looking up to see who he was talking to"Huh? What the hell did you just say to me you stupid brat?!" Anthony was furious, glaring at the kid who finally looked up at him and saw who he had just run into.Instantly he shriveled, sm

He picked up his ID card, not caring about what she had going on beside him."Okay, good luck with that" he started heading for the exit but…"Good thing you said that because you're the one who's gonna need it" she smirked and he stopped with his hand on the knob, turning around to face her."What's that supposed to mean?!" He asked with a frown, sensing that what she said was a threat.She got up, walked back to her seat, and sat down without any restraint that it almost broke the spring in the seat.She continued stuffing her mouth with her food while glaring evilly at Anthony."What did you mean by t—" he asked again but then she interrupted him."Since you're looking to work for a restaurant of this level, you should also know that there are benefits or I should say, connections, that being the manager has presented me with. Businessmen, lawyers, doctors, politicians, Mobsters, and even families in the Hierarchy all pay a whopping amount of money just to reserve seats around my t
