“And does it look like I’m joking to you?” Reed snapped sharply, his voice cutting through the air like a blade.The men standing behind their boss gasped in unison. No one had ever dared to speak to their boss like that—let alone with such blatant disrespect.“Watch your mouth!” one of them growled. “Do you even know who you’re talking to? We could send you right back to jail, you starving mutt!”Another goon stepped forward, eyes narrowing with disgust. “Boss, weren’t you saying you needed an errand boy? This one looks desperate enough to do it. Man’s probably have not had a decent meal in weeks. Let him suffer—that should be punishment enough!”He glared at Reed with unconcealed irritation. If it were up to him, he’d already have dealt with someone like Reed—useless, arrogant, and poor. He’d seen Reed’s kind before: men who couldn’t survive without crawling for scraps. So why was this one standing like he owned the place?Before he could say more, Reed slowly pulled his hand from h

“From now henceforth, as the new master of the imperial world, I order you never to steal anymore! If you need money, earn it by working for it!” Reed said firmly while the goons looked at each other in shock. It was only the boss that was quick to answer while they replied reluctantly. If they did not steal, how on earth would they fend for themselves?“And if you need me to loan you any amount, of course you can easily come to me. Anyone that belongs to our clan that steals will be beheaded!”Judging by what he had done to them earlier, they knew he was not one to blabber. Fear enveloped them from within as they all nodded in affirmative. They didn't expect a sudden turn around of things. In fact, their boss had always told them to be discreet about stealing. Just once and the man already figured out the kind of occupation they chose?A minute later, Reed walked back towards his car while a woman struggled to walk past him. Immediately, he realized it was Selena. Shocked at what h

The front, rusty metal door creaked just as Reed pushed open the door and was about to walk in when he was suddenly stopped by someone who seemed to be the security guard of the door there. “Who are you?” He asked harshly, glaring at the man who seemed like he came around to beg for alms. They had seen people like that around ever since the business got sold to Cornell and when it felt as if the beggars were kind of a burden to him, Cornell had to stop them from coming to the premises.However, on seeing Reed around, he was angered because he could lose his job in the process. “I am…”Before Reed could say anything else, the man who seemed like someone that was bitterly hungry swopped in, “Did you not read the symbol? We don't want beggars here!”That alone broke Reed. In the past, his father would do everything possible to make sure that everyone was comfortable even if it meant that they would not even have enough to eat at home. There were some beggars that depended on them for

“Now, do you all want to play these cards with me?” Reed asked the three workers, his voice barely a whisper but had a cold aura that was able to make them shut their lips forever. However, something else ran across the supervisor's mind. The last time he met Reed, he was nothing but a fragile, silly man that would do anything to have a plate of food on his table. Now, in his oversized suit that was meant to belong to the dungeon, he seemed confident. Only then did he realize that something truly was not right. Yet, he dared not to talk.“You!” Reed suddenly said, pointing at him. Only then did he lower his head, not wanting to get him angered. His fingers alone could be barely moved. How much more if he breaks his body because he could not understand the kind of powers he had!Even a hefty man did not have the power of a brick which Reed seemed to have while he wondered what changed. “Get all the workers in this premises and tell them the new boss has to see them right away!” Ho

“What do you mean by that, sir?” The woman asked, panicking as she slowly drove the car so as not to alert the personnel who still kept watching them from a distance. “He thinks we are here to fraud him and reasons he acted all cozy” Reed replied and was about to say something else when a car drove past them. Judging from the way the car was, he knew it was newly bought and was probably a Mercedes Benz. They were probably going in the same direction they were meant to head to. “Follow the car” He said instantly while the woman sped off. Then, they finally arrived at a newly built house where the man they followed parked his car. Then, his bodyguards had the door opened for the owner while he walked out as if he owned the estate dressed in an all round Italian tuxedo greyish suit that fitted his white colour. With his hair neatly styled while on sunglasses, it was hard for Selena to know who the billionaire was. “We are in the right place” Selena finally muttered with a sigh. On
