"First Mr. Lawson! Thanks for what you did back there..."
Jim appreciated however, his words were waved off in an instant with the wave of a hand. Mr. Lawson who once treated him with so much respect and dignity outside seemed to have transformed into a different person. Suddenly looking distant and cold. Drawing off his phone from his pockets, he lets out a satisfying exhale. Replacing it and returning his cold attention to Jim. The rumors were true then. The rumors that Mr. Lawson was a puppet for the rich class and nothing more. He would do anything that he was told to remain a second-class citizen of the city while in the real sense, he was more of a double-edged sword. He wasn't just used by the powerful people of the city... But his name spread to the four corners of the earth. Jim's face crept with disdain as the initial mood on his face disappeared. "You want me out of here as soon as possible and I can assure you! The feeling is mutual! I'm here to get the construction site!" Jim revealed. Mr. Lawson seized him up as his eyes lurked deep into every single piece of apparel that he was putting on. They made the rage boil through his boil but as usual, he was a professional hiding it "Are you from the Smith family? The Jades? The Paves? Silverado, or Winston family?" He peeked. He had known billionaires who pretended to be poor people to test others or for any other reasons that they deemed fit. And even though Jim didn't pose that air, there was no room for mistakes. "None of the above mentioned! But what does family have to do with a bid?" "You not being above any of these families is another way of saying that you cannot afford it!" He lashed out angrily. "What do you think? That the construction site costs some pennies? If you need my advice boy, then use that life savings of yours to look like a walking corpse. Not some ghost from the underworld!" Mr. Lawson finally had the chance to let out the anger that he had been suppressing. His eyes were bloodshot and the greenish vines were evident on his neck as his eyes blazed deep into that of Jim's who still stood with an indifferent look. "Have your feet also failed you!" Mr. Lawson scowled "Older or not, I don't think that I am the one you would be referring to in that tone! Let's start again! I want to bid for the land!" He noted. Mr. Lawson's face blew out red with anger as he could not stand the mockery. People like the KK had already made him go through a lot of that already He wasn't going to take it from some poor stinky-looking street rat. His lips twisted with annoyance. "I'm going to make you pay for that!" He sneered, his throat already opened to call the guards but Jim's words suddenly brought him to an abrupt stop and a jaw-opening revelation. "If memories should serve me right, I can assume that you aren't the Mr. Lawson that you used to be. You use the police to threaten me. Maybe a while ago, you should have had some influence over there. But right now, you know as much as I do that we stand at the same level on their imaginary scale. And I should also remind you that everything was taken away from you. This Land is your only property. And the KK corporation is still pricing it low, isn't it? Don't worry, I'm going to be fair. Going for the cost of the land. The KK co-operation planned such a fine urban piece of two hundred thousand dollars, didn't they? I'm bidding for Four hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Lawson stood frozen and awe-struck, the black of his eyes almost disappearing as he heard those words. He stared at Jim and didn't see a young boy anymore. How could a young boy have such a level of information? Information that he had fought hard to throw under the carpet to save a few people. Jim screeched already expecting this look. Mr.... Lawson's fall was sudden...Once known as the forerunner of the world powers, in their hidden places. That people like the Paves would not dare to lace their shoes. That was why he was called the biggest shot in the city. But right after they had no more use for him, as always, he was disposed. Leaving him in a tussle with the lower upper-class group like the KK co-operation that initially would not dare to speak before his presence. That was the power of the internet. Nothing could be hidden forever. There was just the need for extra digging. "So... What do you say, Mr. Lawson? We are both business people here and you should know we don't waste time!" He said. "And why should I believe that you can afford it?" Mr. Lawson's brows were arched once again in disbelief. "You don't have to. But I can assure you that you will regret all the rest of your life if you don't give it a trial." Mr. Lawson, afraid that this was true, beckoned Jim to come into the fine mansion that he would soon be selling off. Immediately Jim came to him, he sat on the fine sofa and Mr. Lawson's mouth ran dry for words, he could only stare. "Is there a problem?" Inquired Jim. "Not at all! I will go ahead to get everything that is needed right away!" Mr. Lawson noted respectfully and was gone. Jim enjoyed the fine view of the house until a few steps interrupted his thinking. Thinking that it was Mr. Lawson, his eyes quickly surged up. However, they met with a younger, even finer version of Mr. Lawson. Most probably his son. Their eyes interlocked into each other and his cute face that was nowhere near that of Jim squeezed into a frown. "And who are you?" He shot a questioning and imposing stare at Jim. Something about his attitude just didn't sit right with Jim who balanced himself on his seat and soon returned. "Your dad will explain that to you when he comes around. However, I can assure you that I am not your lost brother!" Jim re-sorted. His face grew red and his teeth gnashed against each other. He was about to pour out words when suddenly, his father interrupted with a light tone. "Everything is ready sir!" His tone was ever respectful. Inside, he had gone through a train of thoughts to think about how this money was going to be useful to him and to his son in the new life that they had been forced to put up with. If possible they would even be allowed to live by the big shots he used to work with. If what Jim said was true, then he needed to be treated with much respect. And if not, there was still nothing to be lost. "Lawrence... Meet Jim. He's the one getting the construction site!" "Him? Dad you just got to be kidding me!" Will fused, watching his quest for revenge slip right from his hands.After initiating the transfer, Mr. Lawson got the alert almost instantly. It shook him like a vibration running right through his body.He could only visualize the amount in his account, still forcing his mind to believe that it wasn't true."If you don't mind, I have got other things to do!" Said Jim, just watching them stare into his cell phone was tiring.Mr. Lawson was knocked out of his thoughts with a sense of rising urgency and a strong shiver.He didn't care about the family that Jim was from anymore. Not for someone who had saved him from the harsh realities of the KK cooperation whoever was the hidden force behind it."I will get everything done right away sir!" Mr. Lawson with his voice ever growing with gratitude.With a dash, he fixed everything that was needed and Jim signed the documents, transferring the owner of the property."Sir, if you need anything in the future, don't forget to contact me!" Mr. Lawson shoved his cards at Jim.Though he hesitated for a while, he e
It was already late and Jim needed to rest his head somewhere. He sipped in a deep breath. After all the hustle of his system, he could feel that he was somewhat out of breath. And would somewhat pass out if he didn't find this place as soon as possibleTwo options were left for him. Returning to the twin or going back to the hostel. Either option would mean waking his counterparts in the dead of the night.And the fact that he was going to get a cab too meant that he would be waiting another two to three hours on the street. Not something that he would imagine himself doing at this time.Not something that was embedded in his nature. And he had money to spend too. How about getting himself a nice place to sleep for the night?{ New task loading }{ Form a new powerful alliance before the end of tomorrow }{ Task reward Additional Fifty points and 10 golden tickets }{ Task punishment Deduction of Fifty available points }The wave of new tasks that Jim received came as a sudde
Her once cute, deep blue eyes were replaced with the fiery looks of a monster that had just detected a vulnerable prey.Her red lips gloss shot at Jim, driven with disdain and irritation as her eyes ran through Jim from his head to his toe."This is the pathetic excuse of a human being that dared spill coffee all over my body?" She bottled up and sneered at Jim who's eyes instantly lifted at her rude statement."Excuse me?" Jim returned with furrowed brows.If there was anything, it was her who was wrong bumping into him."If you had looked properly... Then none of us would have been in this situation!" Jim flagged back utterly disgusted at such a mannerless attitude.She flagged her bags, as Jim's audacity made her even more furious. "And so what if I was wrong? Couldn't you be more careful?" Her voice was laced with disdain and irritation."Do you know how much my bag cost? My clothes that you just got dirty? Do you know how much they are worth? No, you can, but I will tell you,
"Seduce?" The words still sent chills down Jim's spine.The memories played back in his head. The way her eyes lodged at him. And her fingers like paws and she could tear him apart, possessed by a demon right from the underworld.Jim shook even at the slightest thoughts of it.But that was where the other word came in... He supposed. It was either seduce or subdued."The latter option!" Jim shook.{ System bonus points Noteworthy is the fact that she could be a very important instrument in the future }'There's nothing anyone's saying to me, it's still the latter option.' Jim assured himself, freaked to his bones by the former."Now back to you. Piece of scum! Why don't you tell me what we should do to you for breaking in?" The guard's hate-driven words brought him back to the reality before him."What? Of course, you should let me enjoy the reservation that I booked which the right term for would be legal rights and not breaking in... Or...?"Or what?" The guard cuts deep into Ji
Raul's face waved with confusion at Mr. Eric's questioning stare, while trying to calm the tension that rose between him and his boss with a professional smile that only turned off being awkward.'Wasn't a memo already sent about the VIP criminal? And wasn't that what the boss was asking about?'The air that he had gathered in his chest wanted to force itself out but he had to hold it back, for as much as possible.He let out a slightly awkward chuckle, his explanation followed by his forehead breaking into a sweat, as his boss didn't know exactly what he was talking about."This man here claimed to have booked the VIP section. But I found out it was all a lie. That's why I quickly caught him.Ason went to get the police! They will be here anytime soon!"The short silence was processed by a sudden slap that echoed through the hall, creating a ringing sound in his ears.The other employees forced to come out from their respective positions had their hands over their mouths in utter ast

Rage rushed through his spine as he watched Jaden, dancing with a cup of whiskey in his hands even though it wasn't proper to do that in school.It was appropriate for some people to act in a certain way and for others not to. Just the same way today was supposed to be a school day.And just anybody would have not been able to end it all. But Jaden was easily able to pull his strings of connection, to make a mockery of someone who was supposed to be assumed dead.His hands tightened in a clench, and his teeth gritted each other in order to control the rage that seemed to want to tear him apart.Jim was about to unleash everything that he had in him when he was suddenly interrupted by a tiny shaky voice that burst through the air of music that was buzzing through the room, bringing it to an abrupt stop that proceeded to protest growls from the crowd of students they were enjoying themselves.The crowd including Jim with their eyes itching with curiosity were fast to lay on this new int
The stare that the both of them gave to each other was more than intense. Nobody dared to move until Jim broke the silence."And what makes you think that I'm going to just fold my hands and watch you do that... Again?" Jim's brows were raised as he inquired."Or don't you know of the popular adage that says you can't kill a man twice?Or I forgot, your GPA is quite terrible that Every damn year, your parents have to cover up for you to keep their underneath stinking image.But taking out your anger on people that you feel are quite weaker than you! Not so demure!" Jim tapped his tongue not afraid of Jaden's face that was blowing steam hot Jaden almost burst open. His face was red ball paper and his teeth folded into each other to form a hard grate."I'm going to make sure that you pay for this! I'm going to chop you, and grind you into dust for my beauty lotion.""Oh please... Beauty? You're far from it!" Jim's words echoed the voices of the crowd that they could not dare to utter.
