The transfer went through, and I received a notification of the transaction—my balance was now $980,000,000. I smirked proudly. “Now, what do you have to say, Director?” I asked, turning to face him. He continued to stare at his phone, frozen in disbelief. I knew he had received the notification, but he wasn’t saying anything. He was just glaring at me and the phone, as if unable to process what had just happened.The silence was deafening. Mikky and Diana rushed over to him, their expressions shifting from smug confidence to shock as they saw the same thing on his screen. I could tell they had just received the shock of their lives.Everyone was waiting, holding their breath, for the director or Mikky to say something.Mikky whispered something inaudible to the director, who quickly adjusted his demeanor.“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Joker of the Year at Kingsford University,” the director announced, trying to mask his shock with a forced laugh.The crowd erupted in c

"What if Jordan actually made that payment?""Yeah, I agree. Didn't you notice the principal's reaction? I think he's going to address it.""No way, he couldn't possibly pull that off. Look at his clothes—barely holding together.""How could he have been able to pull out such a huge amount of money?" Whispers broke out. "That can't be possible. He's the grandson of a janitor." Another person said."Well, he might have done something illegal to get such money. I hear that he's into drugs." A third person who I recognized as one of the quarterback's girlfriends spoke.All eyes were fixated on me as their speculations continued. I would never have imagined that a day would come when I would have to start defending myself from being able to do things myself.I had been ridiculed severally because of my poor status, now that it seemed like things were going well for me, they still had a problem with it."Why isn't he saying anything?" One of the girls asked incredulously.I moved away fro

"You must be kidding me," Josh exclaimed, his mouth falling open the moment we arrived in front of the Danish restaurant. The best in town. I was expecting this reaction from him because I wouldn't also believe it if I didn't know how much I possessed in my account. I still had a total of 980 million dollars untouched so I was very confident in my abilities. They deserved everything and more. Josh had rallied around to help me in my downtime without asking for a refund. Even my grandmother had combed everything she had to help me. "Are you sure you will be able to afford even the smallest plate of food?" He inquired from me and I kept on chuckling. "Are you sure you didn't get involved in money laundering or something illegal? This is unreal. We cannot afford the hefty prices attached to these meals. Let's just go back before we get disgraced. It wouldn't make any sense if that happened to us now, would it?" He inquired with a whisper, concerns stretching across his face as he tri

I quickly performed a head count as the men alighted from their cars. Twelve solid men in powerful suits, looking every inch as powerful as they should.  A man stepped forward out of the dozen and headed towards me.  He was intercepted by the leader of the gang and his henchmen. "Good..." The leader trailed off when he saw their faces grow grim.  The group moved past the leader and his gang towards me and bowed as soon as they got close. "Young master." They chorused.  "Is this the guy who offended you?" I could see the perplexed look on the leader's face, and there was nothing wrong with him.  "I am sorry," the leader quickly apolo

"S-sir... That is over a million..." The waitress trailed off when she realized that she was probably getting on my nerves. I pinned her with a firm stare, "Well, this is none of your business if you ask me. Now take me to the VIP room." I replied, shutting her up instantly. She shot me a suspicious stare, but I maintained my firm resolve. She wasn't going to get me browbeaten. We walked together to the VIP room and I scanned the area. Josh and my grandmother huddled together probably wondering how I was going to pay for this. Josh signaled me stylishly to disembark on my journey, but I pretended not to see him. He wasn't going to stop me from doing what I should at the right time simply because somebody thought it was nice for her to disrespect someone.I inspected the room to my taste. "Give them everything they want. I don't want any complaints from you or anyone. Grandma, Josh... Enjoy yourself to the fullest." I told them. Concern raged in my grandmother's eyes but I guess sh
