WISH TO BE RICH RETURN 2
The assistant grabbed the wrist of Johnathan’s hand that held his box and because of what the box was housing, the action made Johnathan more apprehensive than he normally would be.“What the—? Who held me back?” Johnathan asked with a hostile tone then looked down at his hand and saw who held on to him.“Forgive my assistant’s boldness in touching you without permission Mr. Cross. He was just following my instruction so take your offense with me” Masker Kim said as his assistant let go of Johnathan’s hand.“Mine would have done the same if Master Kim and his assistant weren’t so fast in the uptake. Because of that, please accept my apologies as well, Mr. Cross” Master Kora said and Johnathan scrunched his forehead and turned to face the men.“Don’t worry about it cause no harm was done but still, what’s this about? You guys know I’m trying to catch up to Mr. Zachery before he leaves so why are you trying to delay me?” Johnathan asked and the two men smiled.“Mr. Zachery left this roo
WISH TO BE RICH DUPLICATE
“What?” Johnathan said in a weak voice as his eyes fidgeted uncontrollably.He got dizzy from seeing the Red Panther Black Soul necklace in Zachery’s possession which destroyed his previous belief that he was the one who had it with him.Johnathan was so lost that he didn’t know when he squeezed his box against his left thigh and the sensation brought him back to his senses to look down at it.“But I thought— this doesn’t make any— huh?” Johnathan stammered then looked at Zachery once more.“Mr. Johnathan, are you sure you’re okay? By any chance, are you having a fever? You were fine a moment ago so I’m surprised that you could have been struck with a fever spell this quickly” Blessing said as she stepped closer to Johnathan and placed the back of her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.Johnathan wasn’t by any means sick but his confusion from trying to grasp why he currently has what looked like Zachery’s Red Panther Back Soul necklace inside what used to be his empty box
WISH TO BE RICH LOVE LETTER
Johnathan who didn’t expect to hear those encouraging words scratched the back of his head and chuckled bashfully.“It wasn’t a big deal Mr. Zachery, I was just doing what I thought was right so there’s no need to thank me,” Johnathan said and Zachery extended his hand for a handshake.Johnathan shook the man’s hand and Zachery said “You might not have been raised by your real family but you still ended up becoming an honorable man like your father. This just proves that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree and I’m sure that this tree in particular is proud of how his apple turned out” Johnathan smiled warmly and the two broke their handshake after thanking Zachery back for his kind words.Johnathan stood there as Zachery and his people entered the cars, leaving only the auctioneer who stood by Zachery’s open back seat door so he could close it for the man.“Mr. Johnathan, I guess this is goodbye. Hopefully, we will see each other again. I will like to see how much you’ve gro
WISH TO BE RICH LOVE LETTER 2
Johnathan closed the letter, folding it the way it used to be, and said “Should I read this? Am I even allowed to read this? A love letter is like a diary and should only be seen by the owner and maybe someone else if they’ve been given permission. Would it be right if I go ahead with reading this?”Johnathan didn’t want to pry into someone’s privacy so he contemplated what to do with the letter in his hand but then he looked at the box on his car’s dashboard and then at the necklace resting peacefully on his passenger’s seat.“Without knowing why, I paid and got these two strange items which weren't because I wanted anything specific but because my Blood Cross, an heirloom entrusted to me was drawn to either if not both items,” Johnathan said then looked down at the letter in his hand.“Doesn’t that make me involved in whatever this story is? I think I’ve been permitted to read this, right?” Johnathan said then sighed “Yes I have and I should be able to read this without worries”Aft
WISH TO BE RICH UNIQUE PROPERTY
Now that Johnathan has been informed of the history and truth behind the necklace, his heart was at peace and just as he was starting to feel relieved, another thought came to mind.“So what should I do with you now?” He asked while looking at the necklace.“From what is on the letter, both you and the necklace Mr. Zachery paid half a billion dollars for are originals so there were never any fakes to begin with. However, according to what Alexander Midnight was trying to convey to Miranda, you’re more special, or at least that’s what I understood from the letter. I wonder how though. What unique properties did he imbue you with? ” Johnathan said as he inspected the necklace to see if he could find anything but then his phone vibrated in his pocket.It was the sound and vibration from receiving a text message and so Johnathan quickly used his other hand to check who it was from.“An unknown number?” Johnathan mumbled when he saw the notification on his Lock Screen and so without wastin
WISH TO BE RICH LEGEND
“More?” Johnathan asked [“Yes, more. According to the story, because of how physically powerful gods are to mortals, their emotions are also stronger. As such, the necklace also allows the god who created it to be able to tamper with the emotion of his lover. With a thought he can take her from a hundred to zero and vise versa in whatever emotion he chooses.”] Master Kora said.“Does that mean that he’s able to make his lover calm whenever she’s getting overly emotional as a result of their connection? He can also spike her emotions and make her angry or sad from what this legend is saying” Johnathan asked himself as Master Kora continued.“Also, because the god who created the necklace did it for a mortal and all mortals share the same ancestry, he didn’t account that that would result in a problem with the necklace. That problem is that the emotional sync takes place with the first person who touches the necklace which is why the god delivered the necklace to his lover directly. Ho
WISH TO BE RICH MARRIED INTO THE CROSS
Zebadiah and Margret started laughing uncontrollably to the point that happy tears started falling down Margret’s eyes.“Why are the two of you laughing at me? It’s not fair at all. How am I supposed to know whose ancestor Miranda is when I don’t really know that much about our family history? Between recovering at the hospital, getting tutored, and planning to enroll in Wellstone, I never got the chance to learn about our family tree like I should” Johnathan said with an annoyed look and tone.Once Zebadiah and Margaret were satisfied they sighed and became serious.[“You’re right Johnathan and we apologize. It’s our fault for not being able to teach you about your family lineage until now. You were so fixated on your mission that we decided to do that after your six months is up but it seems like your history has found you on its own.”] Zebadiah said.[“Johnathan baby, do you mind telling us how you know about my ancestor? That doesn’t seem like something that just randomly comes up
WISH TO BE RICH BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN
“What?! Why?” Johnathan exclaimed “Why would I do something like that grandmother? I already told you that the necklace used to belong to your ancestor and since she never got it then it’s only appropriate that you have it in her stead” Johnathan said but then Margaret locked elbows with Zebadiah and went closer to her husband.[“Johnathan baby, you said that the necklace was a gift from someone my ancestor was in love with and him her. If I am to take it, I can say for certain that it’ll mean absolutely nothing to me and that’s not because I don’t like jewelry or that I don’t care about my ancestor. The reason will be that I already have the man I’m in love with who’s right here and I don’t need a gift from anyone else. My ancestor, Miranda, is so many generations behind that I don’t even feel any sentimental attachment to her and so I won’t feel anything even if you give me that necklace”]“But grandmother—“ Johnathan mumbled but Margaret interrupted.[“As you said, you came into po

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. Just take a look at wha

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
