“Lucas!” Crystal yelled. “You cannot do that!”I raised my hand to Crystal while the water was wetting my face. “Please, Crystal, don’t stop him.”“Yeah, you poor man,” Lucas laughed, his eyes gleaming with scorn. “Hope you already know your place. It is no use to fight us, the Lancester”I stood firm, my voice steady and defiant. “Do you know why I don’t want Crystal to stop you?”I warmed up my body slightly, preparing for what was to come. “So I can enjoy hitting you.”I moved my hand swiftly to deliver a deep strike to his stomach, causing him to bend over in agony, and after a moment, he vomited. “Looks like you just throw up your dinner.”I grabbed his hair and forced his face down into his vomit. “My parents says you can not waste your food.”Another man came at me with restaurant wooden chair, aiming to strike me from behind, but I evaded, and his chair hit his friend, Lucas. Causing Lucas to fell with painful moaning.I launched my hit to his ribcage, sending him crashing dow

At first, Lucas and Robert, calling all their friends were only looking to confront Alex and redeem their wounded pride.However, they hadn't anticipated that Alex, the jerk, would call the police instead of facing them.“That fucking bastard, I am going to kill him if I ever meet him again!” Lucas said. "Do you want to fight or surrender?"He questioned Robert, whose complexion had turned as pale as paper, unaware that his sudden anger Alex and his call to his cousin Lucas to help him would lead to the arrival of the police."Fighting the cops? Do you think it's easy? We'll be dragged into deeper trouble," Robert replied, his face ashen with dread. “My dad will kill me this time.”The rest of the group also turned pale. "You said it was only one person. Why are all these cops here?"Soon, the police began to enter with guns on their hands."Everyone, raise your hands and face the wall. Keep your hands where we can see them, and don't make any sudden moves, or we'll have to respond,"

Passing through the sprawling garden, after several hundred meters, we finally reached the grand, luxurious halls where the crystal’s grandpa and grandma were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.I could see everyone earnestly trying to please the elderly couple.Grandpa, around eighty, was confined to a wheelchair, his eyes reflecting a hint of senility. Grandma, however, seemed much younger, around seventy, and appeared to be handling all the Lee family business matters.Many guests were vying for her attention. For inheritance maybe.I was busy too, loading my plate with a variety of Chinese delicacies that I rarely encountered. It was the perfect time to satisfy my hunger with heaping portions of Chinese food.So, I took a lot of dim sum and ate a lot other food.“Are you a hungry ghost?” a woman asked, looking at me with a disgusted expression.“Nope,” I replied politely. “Just a poor man with a big stomach. Would you like shrimp dim sum? It's really tasty.”“Eww,” the gir

“No need to ask them,” a voice could be heard from outside.As I looked toward the source, I found Robert Lancaster with his arrogant face approaching Michelle, who quickly grabbed his arm.“Although I cannot promise Lancaster can secure you a loan, as we are also repaying the Morgans, I can help you get a loan from Eden Bank,” he said, his tone dripping with condescension. “My father has a good connection with Kim Jiso, the CEO of Eden Bank. Don’t you worry.”I laughed. “I will never believe you can get money from Eden Bank.”“You!” Robert's face turned red with anger. “My father has already been talking to Eden Bank about a $200 million loan. We will get the money in the next two days as everything is already cleared.”“Really?” Grandma Lee said.“Can we get a $200 million loan too? We can cover our loans with the Morgans with that much money,” she asked.“Grandma Lee,” Robert added, “Sure, I can help. But I want you to kick out this lowly human. He hit me last night and caused a lo

“The Lee family own a robust agriculture and canned food distribution business. Recently, they have expanded into manufacturing with a new instant noodle factory among other ventures.” Kim Jiso explained on the third-floor secret meeting room.“Meanwhile, the Lancaster family excel in household electronic equipment, producing items such as refrigerators and electric ovens. Beyond electronics, their business portfolio includes in golf field and hotel resorts.”“However, their main source of income remains deeply rooted in their primary businesses, which are significantly more profitable than their other ventures.”“Lancester and Lee family still use their main business as collateral when asking for a loan from Morgan Bank.” Kim Jisoo continued.“Currently, we know Morgan face a cashflow problem: they want the Lancester and Lee family to repay what is originally a ten-year loan within a single month. There are both legal and illegal methods to approach this, depending largely on how far

As I walked to the top of the third year's building, I reflected on my past choices.I had always walked the 'right path,' the good path that all humans are supposed to tread. Yet, the one path I had never explored was that of the villain.Upon opening the iron door, I declared, "I have died once, what is there to fear anymore if I want to be villain enjoying my life?"Inside, I found Hendric and about five of his third-year friends.A few months ago, the former third years who had held all the school's power graduated, leaving a vacuum for the new third years.Each of them was eager to seize control of the school, and Hendric appeared to be one of those vying to show how important that power was."Alex, I never liked you in the basketball club. I order you to get out from the basketball club," Hendric said arrogantly."If you don't like me," I replied as I approached them, "why don't you leave the basketball club? Then you won't have to see me."I looked at dawn on the horizon, what

In 1999, there were no online shops, but I had the whole shop. All it took was a phone call, and they would send all the best items."You cannot do this here," a long hair woman named Dahlia protested to me."Why? I am a member of your flower club. And I help with the club accessories," I said nonchalantly, my gaze fixed on the couch that filled the club room.I settled myself comfortably.The club room, formerly a storage area, was spacious—akin to three classrooms merged into one.I had purchased four large couches."But this isn't a necessity for the club," protested Rose, another club member."Don't worry, I use my personal money. And I have bought all the pots and all the flower seeds, the best fertilizers," I said, waving my hands dismissively. "They will arrive this afternoon. So, let’s say I am helping with the club."I walked out without care about what they thought. It would be my new place, like it or not.So, my daily activity after school would be at the top of the third-

When I looked at my table again, there were fifteen love letters.So many love letters, so many people who love me, yet all of them asked me to dedicate my life only to one of them.That is an impossible thing. I grabbed all the love letters and moved to the Gardening Club during break time.I entered the club where five girls who seemed like best friends—Dahlia, Jasmine, Rose, Lily, and Daisy—were gathered.Rose, the most beautiful among them, was still cold to me, and I didn’t care. Only Daisy, smiling like sunshine, welcomed me warmly."Thank you, we have received a lot of pots and seeds," she said cheerfully."No worries," I replied, while moving to the back and slumping onto one of the couches. This place would become my perfect spot for taking rest.Not long after, two girls entered from the front with shy expressions. "I am a new student, can I join the gardening club?" one asked timidly.I smiled; the basketball club was not open to all girls to join, but the gardening club wa

I stared at Sofia, puzzled. "Must I remind you that you were the one who asked for the divorce.”“You deserve it.” Sofia returned my gaze with a troubled look. "You're not selling any paintings. Everyone is talking about how poor are you.""They can hate me and talk about me all they want," I protested. "But why do you have to listen to them? I’ve never used any of your money for my daily living. I even buy and cook food for you and pay the bills. Remember, I never asked a single cent from you. Why must you judge me? Meanwhile, you freely use my money.""I make no mistake; my conscience is clear," I reaffirmed."You have no money," she shot back."So, I'm in the wrong for having no money?" A headache began to form. "Whatever. We're divorced already, and you were the one who initiated it.""Alex, I have given you many chances to prove yourself, to sell your painting, but you never want to sell any of them. You don’t deserve me.""Alright, whatever you say. Can we just finish this? I do

“I do not think that we are close enough for that relationship,” I said politely as I gently pushed her to one side.“So you are playing hard to get, Mr. Alex?” Sasha looked at me with a seductive smile. “You make me want you more.”She took out a card from her purse and handed me a golden card.“What is this?”“This card will give you all-access to all Powell Group's hotels and lodgings. You can enjoy all the food and service, on our lodgings without any payment. Just think of it as my treat to you.”“I don’t think I need this,” I replied politely, having more than enough money to eat and sleep wherever I wanted.“Please accept it, Mr. Alex. It is not a payment for your job; it's just our treat to our honorable guest.”Free stuff to eat and sleep? After not having a home, staying in a hotel for a bit wouldn’t be a problem until I found a new house. “Well, I accept this. Thank you very much.”Suddenly, I felt a killing tension around me. When someone is sensitive to energy, every tho

While I was deeply channeling my inner energy, I was so concentrated that I didn’t notice the chaos outside.I pushed the poisoned blood out of the needle, but when it was about 20% more to go, the needle was suddenly removed.Unable to retract my inner energy quickly, the blood had no exit and rebounded into Winston's body, causing him to convulse violently.Blood started gushing from his nose, ears, mouth, and every possible human outlet. His face turned an ominous black.Professor Calvin, taken aback by the sudden turn of events, exclaimed in shock, “What is happening?”I quickly tried to retract my inner energy, but the blood had already created a blockage, and Winston suddenly coughed up a clot of blood, hitting Professor Calvin in the face. Then, his body went limp.The other doctor, monitoring the medical machine, yelled, “We need to save the patient, professor!”Without delay, Professor Calvin, along with two doctors and a nurse, began emergency resuscitation to save the patie

“How many holy order members do we have ready in this city?” I asked as we walked toward the nearest park.The Holy Order had evolved into an international network of mercenaries or private armies, boasting around a hundred thousand personnel worldwide.They were now part of local underworld groups, working as private detectives, hired guns, and even assassins tasked with eliminating only the so-called bad people.They were the army I prepared to face the world in the inevitable World War III. With enough money, I could mobilize about a million soldiers globally.Taking down any country was a cinch, especially since I also owned a weaponry factory that collaborated with many countries.I had even begun developing a new nuclear weapon in collaboration with some countries, all under the radar.Weapons and soldiers were crucial if I aimed to conquer the world.“In Oxford, we have about fifty people,” Alfred continued, calculating quickly. “And we only need about thirty to execute the mis

Inside the house, as I looked around, I noticed Sofia, her mother, and Tina, Sofia's personal assistant came together.It is very rare for three of them appeared at the same time except there was an important stuff.Tina approached my table and placed a set of divorce papers in front of me.“Alex, these are the divorce papers, already signed by Ms. Sofia. I hope you won’t make this difficult; just sign them,” she said.“Divorce? What is the reason?” I asked, still looking at Sofia who remained silent letting Tina spoke for her.Tina continued, “You haven’t sold any paintings in three years. You’re a struggling artist with nothing to your name. Meanwhile, Ms. Sofia is a successful businesswoman, the new CEO of Anderson group. You two are not on the same level. Your presence merely tarnishes Sofia’s reputation. So, your marriage is over now.”“What?” I laughed in disbelief, staring at Sofia. “So this is how you see me now?”Tina stepped in front of me, blocking my view of Sofia, and sho

In the mansion of Anderson."You, a painter, what do you know about business?" Chris Wellington scoffed. "I suggest you leave now, or I'll need to call security to kick you out."Sophia grabbed my hand, her voice trembling with determination. "Alex, let's get out of here. I will never return to this family again.""Stop it, Sophia," her mother approached us, concern etching her features. But Sophia didn't care; she simply shoved her mother away."Guard! Take Sophia," Sophia's uncle commanded.I started to laugh, disbelief coloring my tone. "So, this is the meaning of family? You would sacrifice your daughter for a $100 million project?""Shut up," Grandma Anderson snapped. "Take Sophia and kick this guy out. He is not worth to be here."As a guard approached, wielding an iron baton, I launched a quick attack to his face, and he fell down.Causing shock to everyone there.The other guard who dared to come close received a kick to his stomach.As we walked to the gate, more guards came,

“Please don’t kill my son,” Vex Bolton pleaded. “Tell me want you want!”“Your son tried to kill me!” I yelled back the voice was echoing inside the mansion. “If he hadn’t started this, I’d be too lazy to bother him! I just want a peace, is it hard!”“I am sorry, so sorry. I didn’t know you are with Sicilia.” Jeremy stammered. “It won’t happen again.”I hung up the phone, pulled out my smartphone, and called Francesca.“What is it, Alex?” she answered.“I believe I had report about Vex Bolton trying to kidnap Sofia. Now, Jeremy Bolton, his son, is in my hands. Do you want him or not?”“What do you want in exchange?”“Nothing. Since he started by kidnapping my friend.”“Do you know we and Bolton are like water and fire?” Francesca asked.“It’s much better. When you want to kill Vex Bolton, I will help you.”“Great, send him to our place. We can try to use him for the negotiation; if it does not work, we will just go to war. Remember to take Vex Bolton's head for us.”“Don’t worry.”I w

Jeremy was shocked. "She really wants you to die? And doesn't care about you?"He clutched his head, feeling a slight headache."How can this be happening?" Jeremy threw a vase across the room."Where is Alex right now?" Jeremy demanded, pressing a knife against Miranda's stomach."At the university." Miranda said in fear."Alright, lead this girl to find the guy and bring him here. I believe she can find where he is," Jeremy commanded.The five men quickly moved, dragging Miranda away.***In my class, I was half-listening to the professor, drowsy, when a man suddenly entered the room with Miranda. "Professor, I'm sorry, but we need Alex here. It's an emergency."The professor looked around the class. "Anyone named Alex? Please, come forward."I stood and walked to the door."What's up?""Follow us," the man said. "It's urgent."I followed them to the parking lot, where only a few people were around. I found four people with Miranda's face was pale among them. Secretly, I noticed a s

At the Eden Group's painting exhibition, the initial plan was to showcase amateur paintings—a venue where people could make business deals and purchase art casually.The exhibition didn't start as an amateur painting showcase; it was solely for business deals. This change occurred when Alex used it as a cover to sell his own paintings and win a bet.As the first million-dollar purchase of a painting came from the Eden Group itself.Unexpectedly, the event escalated in seriousness when renowned art critics from around the globe flew in just to view the artworks.However, Alex clearly didn't believe anyone would genuinely want to pay more than a million dollars for his work."No one in their right mind would buy that painting," he thought.Yet, it seemed Alex had grossly underestimated the allure of art and the fervor of art investors.***I was still in Sofia's apartment when I received a phone call."The media want to meet the painter?"
