Gerald raised his eyebrows at this.“Do something for you in return? And why would that be?”Chairman Rainier stared at Gerald for a while with an ominous smile.“Tell me, who are your parents?”Gerald was glad that he didn't give off any change of expression in the slightest. Instead, the hand in his owl folded in reaction to this sudden request.“Excuse me? Why do you want to know about my parents?”Chairman Rainier leaned over his desk with his chin propped up on his interlaced fingers as he stared at Gerald's face with a slight frown.“Well, it's been proven you're a long-lost young master of the Arnold family. Great Master Samuel is your biological uncle, right? But I would like to know, which side of the family, your mother, or your father?”Gerald chuckled with a look of naive confusion.“Chairman, why do you want to know such a specific detail?”Dr. Wallace allowed a moment of silence to pass before he spoke again.“I'll be honest, you remind me of a one-of-a-kind prodigy who

The room got a bit stiff as Dr. Wallace now had a serious expression on his face. He looked…..somewhat displeased.“Young Master Gerald, are you, by any chance, looking down on my institute?”Gerald was a bit stunned and confused by this reaction.“I'm sorry, what? No, why would you think that?”Dr. Wallace glared lightly at Gerald.“Because if you weren't making fun of this institute, you wouldn't have said what you said so casually. You want to become both an antiquarian and an archaeologist. Young Master Gerald, do you have any idea how hard it is for experts from either sector to get into this institution?”“There are so many archeologists and antiquarians who have been submitting their entry forms over and over again for the past ten years, and they've been met with one rejection after another. To better put things into perspective, each submitted form costs about $100,000 at first. Once you've been rejected, and you still wish to reapply, the price for the form is raised by 100

Dr. Wallace K. Rainier was too stunned to speak. A few minutes had passed, but within this period, he had watched in awe as Gerald had described five other precious items on his shelves. These aren't just antiques; there were also archeological bones and rare gemstones. The varieties didn't matter at all, not when Gerald could give the detailed background information as well as the estimated price ranges, and he always kept the true purchase price within them.“Young Master Gerald, how?”Gerald watched this man lose his composure, and he drugged his shoulders.“I can't tell you, Chairman Rainier. But as a man of great talents like yourself, you should understand that people like us have our secrets, right?”Dr. Wallace understood that Gerald didn't want to be questioned about the origin of his knowledge. Normally, this should elicit a sense of suspicion from Dr. Wallace K Rainier.Instead, it awoke a sense of nostalgia within the chairman's heart as he recalled something skim to thi

Gerald hummed as well in understanding.“Ah! So this is seen as a form of recognition of how highly valuable they've become to the institute, warranting their elevation as 2nd-Rankers more validated within their respective industries globally.”Dr. Wallace nodded his head sharply.“That's right. Every 3rd-Ranker aiming to become a 2nd-Ranker must first be vouched for by at least one 2nd-Ranker from each of the Antiquarian sector and the Archeologist sector. After that, they must prove their value by helping the institute earn up to $50 million through their sales.”Gerald grasped this.“Then I'm guessing going from a 2nd-Ranker to a 1st-Ranker would be even tougher, huh?”Dr. Wallace clicked his tongue with a wink and his index finger pointed out like a gun.“Exactly. Going from a 2nd-Ranker to a 1st-Ranker, you would have to be vouched for by five 1st-Rankers. After this, you would need to generate $100 million for the institute through a series of sales that is split 50% -50% with
Chapter 225
It was here that Dr. Wallace recalled that a 1st-Ranker Antiquarian and Archeologist, such as himself, can solely vouch for any other lower-ranking members without any support. If Gerald truly ended up becoming the only other member to obtain the position of both an antiquarian and an archeologist, he would be able to help Professor Julian out of his predicament. Also, with a rare talent like him around, the Wes family would naturally become more wary of their intentions to spread their influence.In other words, the chairman wouldn't be dealing with this threat alone. Even if he can't trust any of the professors, he believes he could work well with Gerald, as he already knows which side this young man would be paying for.Dr. Wallace sighed at where this meeting had led them before chuckling.“Fine, you win, Young Master Gerald. If you can meet the requirements, I guarantee that you'll be admitted into this institute as the 1st-Ranker to both sectors.”Gerald nodded his head.“I'm

Gerald had never planned on becoming a model in the first place. It had been a lie he had sprung up in the heat the moment when Juliet and Terry had wondered where he got so many expensive clothes, shoes, and accessories from.Gerald's walk-in closet is huge, and to fund it completely fine with exquisite outfits with excellent fabric, it was obvious that each outfit should be worth, at least, tens of thousands of dollars. Then, checking the tags still attached to many of these clothes, shoes, and accessories - as Gerald still has a long way to go before he would have tried out every one of these fits - Juliet and Terry found that every single one of these items was purchased from Crimson & Crown.This is the same Mega-mall that would sell a pair of sunglasses, which can be bought for $300 online, at a price of $3000, and their only justification for Juliet blinked a jacking up the price to such an exorbitant level would be to remind everyone that they are, after all, Crimson & Cr

Terry scoffed.“Of course, I do! Have you met your friends?! They're fucking hot as hell! I don't just like one of them, I fucking like them all!”A cheeky smile spread on his face.“Plus the last time those two friends of yours snuck into my hotel room, I had the time of my…..”Juliet raised a palm hurriedly to cut the guy off while covering her ears with the other hand.“Alright, that's enough! We don't need to know the full details of whatever it is you did with my friends!” Minutes later, the group of three kept drinking until Terry had gotten a bit more drunk and he began dancing alone in the private booth, calling Juliet and Gerald to join him, but the two refused, making him whine like a child.Terry becomes quite the character whenever he is drunk.At that moment, Assistant Manager Aston Lane came to check up on them on the order of his reassigned superior, Manager Joseph Drew, to ask them if they needed anything.While Gerald and Juliet shook their heads, saying that they'r

Juliet felt her heart melting but also racing as Gerald was pressed up against her back, his nose breathing in her scent and out with the air tickling the young woman's skin. “Ger, why are you being so freaking stubborn? I'm trying to avoid dragging you down with me, and yet….”Gerald waved his arms tighter around Juliet, taking in her presence, which shut her up. His words were spoken with a deep but soft tone.“You're trying to get me out of trouble, but I don't mind getting into serious trouble, especially if it's with you. In fact, scratch that. As long as it's for you, with you, I will make a point of not avoiding any trouble.”To this, Juliet couldn't help but break her serious mood, giving way as she laughed at this.“Ger, you're crazy.”Gerald hummed before turning the young woman around to face him. He stared deep in her eyes while bringing up his hand to caress her face with his palm.“I am crazy, for you. Juliet, I think we can both agree that falling in love with each ot

Steven glared lightly at her.“Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? We had an agreement to meet up tonight and have dinner with me at a hotel. Why did you suddenly flake on me? You told me you were sick and couldn't go out anywhere.”He glanced around with a mixed expression of hurt and mockery.“Is this you being sick? Juliet, you have such a funny way of describing your mood.”Juliet didn't have anything to say to this. She had been caught, and there was nothing she could use as a logically sound excuse right now.Gerald could read the guilt in her body language, and so decided to speak up for her instead, glaring up at Steven.“Steven, I would like to believe you're not dumber than I already made you it to be. Can't you see the obvious truth here? Juliet would rather be here, with me and Terry, than be at a fancy hotel restaurant with you.”Juliet whispered to Gerald.“Ger, stop.”Steven clenched his jaw as he rushed over and grabbed Gerald by the collar, forcing him out of his

By the time Gerald paused his attack, he found his fist mere inches away from Juliet's chest, making his eyes widen in shock as he looked up at her. The fearsome aura emanating from him had dwindled.“Juliet, why did you just rush over like that?! I could have hurt you!”What happened next left him stunned. A slap to the face sent Gerald's gaze moving to the side, the stinging sensation that followed seconds later was proof that he hadn't hallucinated what had just happened. Juliet slapped him across the face. He was left stunned, wondering what he had done wrong. But as he slowly turned his face back at the young woman, his heart dropped as he saw her crying.“Hey, Jules, what's wrong?”Juliet pointed her index finger at Gerald’s chest.“It's you! Didn't you hear what I said?! I've been yelling at you to stop fighting Steven the entire time! But you just ignored me!”True to her words, Juliet had been yelling for Gerald to calm down as the fight had actually gotten fierce. The two
