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

On Saturday, I received a full report for my company. Bruno called me in a panic."Sir, Alex. We have a problem here on the gold mining.""What problem?" I asked. "Is it still about the mining equipment?""No, that's already handled, and all the equipment has been delivered to the mining site. Caterpillar has given us 100% support since we allowed them to use our place to gather data for them," he explained."So, what is it?""Local people from environment activities have started to demonstrate and block the road," Bruno said. "They claim it's illegal mining and will cause climate change.""What a bullshit, We have all the permits in order, right?" I asked him."Yes, we have all the permits, and there are no issues with the government." Bruno agreed.I answered, "Of course, I paid $1 million for the permits and later a few percent for the taxes. So, who are they?""I believe Ivanov's people have paid the locals and climate activists to prevent us from mining. They are blocking all the

When the school break arrived, I moved to the Gardening Club, as usual. This time, however, there were about 12 girls, including the 5 who were there before.I walked past the girls, who smiled at me, and I headed to my usual spot just to sleep without talking to them.If I speak with each of them, I'll run out of time, so I better just smile back and answer with a short sentence when they ask. It would save me time.Even so, I could feel some of the girls secretly gazing at me with admiring looks. It was enough for me to know that my popularity continued to rise as I took my nap.As the second break began, I noticed Olga joining the Gardening Club. "It seems she's really wants to save time to efficiently complete her work," I mused.To kill me."I never knew you were here. You're one of my classmates, right?" Olga approached my couch. Pretending we just meet by accident.I opened my eyes and looked at her while remaining reclined. "Просто говорите по-русски," I said in Russian, causi

As I had known, there was no way people could resist the allure of the Casanova title, which unleashed desires that were impossible to resist.She began to kiss me deeply, her hands exploring fervently.It was forbidden to make love at school, and for that special occasion, I had prepared for my long-held fantasy that had never been fulfilled before—to make love in a car.I had modified my car, making the back as comfortable as a bed.I brought Olga to the back of my car, where she continued to kiss me passionately, her hands still searching, this time grasping a knife and attempting to stab me."Damn, girl, are you here to make love or to kill me?" I exclaimed.Olga grabbed my head and yelled, "Stop talking, just kiss me!"I began to remove her clothes, and she tried her best to do the same with mine. I had never realized how long her legs were until I grasped her beautiful legs and positioned them by my sides.She had large breasts and was as horny as a wild beast, yet as dangerous

Of course, I'm not going to Russia if you ask. Too many documents need preparing, too many permission forms from the high school to be handled.And as a boss, I could just call my people to do it for me. So, I will send my people who will do the business and investing there.Russia will become a big market, just like China. I need to start early to get the biggest piece of there.Sergei, Anna, and Ivan returned to meet me a week after our last meeting."Tell me," Sergei was smoking and sipping red wine as we sat on the balcony at the same penthouse as last week."What do you think you will do in Russia? The KGB has made the four of us your bridge to Russian and government business. You only need to pay 20% to the KGB and 35% government tax, and we will protect you like you are our father.""Not bad," I said. For now, I need political power more than anything."Well, first, I'd like to invest in Yandex, one of your Russian companies," I said, recalling that it could become as big as Go

I have acquired the skill of human acupuncture precision from system shop.With this ability, I can easily identify the acupuncture points on anyone who tries to attack me.It's simple. When people attempt to move their right hand to attack me, their bodies pump blood through the blood vessels to the right arms.If I strike one of these vessel paths or an acupuncture point, the blood flow is disrupted, causing the right hand to become limp and unmovable.So, when I hit the acupuncture points controlling the hands and legs, the assailants suddenly find themselves unable to move both arms and legs; they just collapse.Especially when I channel my inner energy into the acupuncture point, they remain immobilized until my energy dissipates, which takes about an hour.Sixty people have become easy targets for my practice.Once, a person swung a baseball bat embedded with nails at me. I dodged and hit the acupuncture point on his arm.The bat dropped, and he couldn’t move his hand. Using my

University of Oxford."Alex, I think it's time for you to accept that you never fit in with Miranda," a woman in her early twenties said to me as I served her a pizza."Why?" I asked."Look at you," Danielle, Miranda’s best friend, called out. "You work part-time at a pizza shop. You don’t have a car. How can you keep thinking that you can be Miranda’s boyfriend?"“We love each other.”“Fuck love!”"I helped her a lot in our first year. I even did all her assignments," I said."Alex, tell me, how much do you earn working here?""$5 per hour.""How do you think a guy who only gets scrap money, without a car, without anything, can be Miranda’s boyfriend!""With love, for sure," I said."You are poor, Alex! You can't even feed yourself well and you're hanging by your scholarship.”“I love her and she love me. End story!” I replied.“Oh please, all poor people talk about love. If you don’t have money, don’t find a girlfriend, just use your fingers to fuck.""Danielle, I know you are Mira

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?" I was hesitant about revealing my identity as I
