It felt good to be finally seen in a brighter light by the people who looked down on him. What touched his heart in this case, though, was the fact that this woman was willing to surrender her ego in the face of being proved wrong.Gerald saw that this woman was redeemable, and thus, he decided to give her a second chance.He waited until she simply remained before him, sobbing, before he spoke.“Mrs. Bricks, would you like to become the property manager of this building? If you don't mind, I would like to give that position to you. You can consider yourself the Head Tenant of this building as well. What do you say?”Lyra immediately stopped sobbing before she slowly brought her head back up, revealing a shocked expression on her face.“I…I'm sorry, what did you just say? I think I might have misheard you or something.”.Gerald shook his head with a smile still on his face.“Nah, you heard me just right. Though I am the landlord, I'm still a university student with many other things t

A look of disdain was on Steven’s face as he worked over to Gerald.“Well, well, well. What do we have here? The thief who stole the RFS and presented it to Professor Dalton. Do you have any idea the amount of trouble you put me into?!”Gerald couldn't believe his ears.“What do you mean by that?”Steven wasn't in a good mood. In fact, he looked like he hadn't been able to sleep well for the past few days. Thus, his tolerance limit was at an all-time low. “Don't fucking pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about, peasant! You had the guts to present such a priceless item to Professor Julian! How on earth was I supposed to believe that the RFS in your hands that night was real?!”He pointed at Gerald, getting close to him with bloodshot eyes, in an attempt to intimidate the younger man.“Because of your cunning act, I accidentally broke the real RFS! An antique worth millions as the base bidding price! Do you have any idea how much damage your deception has cost me and my fam

Juliet saw the way Gerald was staring at the interior designs, and she couldn't help but giggle.“It's a bit bizarre, isn't it? I thought the same thing when I first saw it. Usually, I wouldn't be allowed in here, but since Dad is here to plead his case with the institute, a few outsiders are allowed in as visitors.”Gerald was starting to understand how incredibly exclusive this institute truly was. Though the number of middle-aged men and women in robes was not up to a hundred, he could easily recognize so many of them.That's because this hall was currently filled with powerful businessmen and businesswomen who had a strong background in historical content. Gerald, who rarely watched TV growing up, had seen many of these faces on the internet. They were truly that famous. He began mumbling under his breath.“Holy shit! This place reeks with power. There are so many influential people here.”Juliet heard what Gerald had said, so she corrected him.“Ger, they're not just here, they

“And….who the fuck are you?”Gerald kept a calm state at the silver-robed Archeologist.“I'm Gerald Stark. The person who gave the RFS to Professor Dalton.”Immediately, there were a couple of gaps from other members, who were spread around the hall. As it turns out, these people were eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time.A brash voice reached them as an old man in silver-colored robes walked over. By the insignia he had on his robe, he was clearly an Antiquarian.“So it's you! You're the one that Master Goliath and Young Master Freddy talked about! You're the reason my family lost the $450 million contract at Aventos Bank!”Gerald realizes that this old man is a member of the Blanks family. He happily nodded in response.“That's me. But let's get something clear, I didn't do anything to make them lose the $450 million. They must have offended the hire-ups of Aventos Bank, and thus, things ended up unfolding the way they did.”Professor Daniel Thyme glanced at the Arche

With Gerald gone with the vice chairman of the Antiquarian and Archeologist's institute, Julian Dalton had no choice but to go wait outside in the lounge as well.He would have waited in the meeting room, but the place is currently filled with a thick mist of malice created by the fifteen first-rank members and directed at him.After all, he was the one who brought Gerald here, the same boy who brazenly kicked Professor Colton Lambert, a powerful and influential golden-robed Archeologist in the chest. There was no way he would remain there.Juliet was surprised when she saw her father walking back to her in the secretary lounge.“Dad, you're back! How did it go?”She noticed her father's defeated posture, along with the stunned expression on his face.“Dad, what's wrong?”She then looked around him in confusion.“And where's Gerald?”Professor Julian didn't even know how to start as his daughter led him to sit down next to her.“He's…..um….well, he's….with the vice chairman.
