"I really don't know. But I suppose that sort of scenerio isn't completely unlikely." "Why are you asking me all this?" Dalia directed a puzzled look at Jedidiah's direction. The last question was oddly specific — Almost personal. "I'm just curious." Jedidiah forced a smile. At that moment, Ayanna just happened to have finished sorting through the mess in the cafe. Arriving before the table, she exhaled in an exhausted manner. "I apologize for the embarrassing scene earlier on." "There's no need. The delicious pancakes more than made up for it. Your dad is a really amazing chef." at this point, Jedidiah was a bit tempted to have Ayanna's father work for him. Being the head of Lady CeCe's kitchen would definitely pay better than what he was getting from this cafe anyways. "Actually I am the one who made the pancakes." as she made this confession, Ayanna's cheeks flushed red. She was like a housewife whose husband just praised her talents in the kitchen. "Just like I suspected
Chapter 52
Navigating the spacious manor building in Lady CeCe's Villa, Jedidiah was left with disappointment when he discovered that apart from himself and the handful of maids he encountered along the way, the entire Villa was devoid of any other living soul! By the time Jedidiah finished his involuntary tour, he was left reeling for breath. Even after he asked all the maids, they all ended up giving him the same monotonous reply — The Madame was out, and Mr. Chuck went along with her. "I wonder where they are right now?" Jedidiah bemused to himself as he arrived at the gazebo behind the Villa's garden. Making himself comfortable on the lounge chair under the gazebo, Jedidiah thought back to the abrupt call he got from Natalie — The other party actually wanted to have drinks with him. However due to being preoccupied with his plan to protect Ayanna and her father from the Skyfall gang, Jedidiah ended up declining her offer. He was now beginning to wonder whether he should accept. Anyways

"Excuse me?" Jedidiah's gaze snapped towards the direction of the earlier statement. "Hmph. There is no point faking it. Even my stewards have far better taste in fashion than you. Did you think that just any random miser can afford to dine in the prestigious Velvet Rose Garden?" The speaker was a young man in his early twenties. Clad in a two piece branded suit with an expensive pair of shoes wrapped around his feet, the culprit exuded a snobbish air of superiority that was further accentuated by the luxury watch donned around his wrist. Noticing the confused manner the hypocritical miser was looking at him, Darwin snorted in contempt. "You would only end up sullying the establishment with your presence." Releasing a snort, Jedidiah impatiently snapped. "Although I have no idea why that is any of your concern but except you are the owner of Velvet Rose Garden, I doubt you'd be able to bare anybody from dining there." "Y--You!" tongue-tied, Darwin Hughs found himself unable to m

The entire lobby descended into stunned silence. Whether it were the receptionist, the bystanders and even the victim himself, they were all stunned at the slap. However, the palpable silence was soon shattered by this simple sentence. "You should thank your lucky stars that I held back. You won't be so lucky the next time you demean my parents." Jedidiah could barely contain his temper whenever his deceased parents were involved. Even back at at Blue Prep School when he didn't have the system it was the same. The only few times he ever tried standing up to Spencer's antics were usually always when his family were the topic of the discussion. This snobbish stranger would've been spared the public humiliation even if he continued talking smack about Jedidiah. But extending that disrespect to his deceased parents? that was obviously crossing a line! —[You have trolled Darwin Hughs for +1050.. +1050. +1050] x5 Darwin had finally come back to his senses and along with it came the

Realizing the hesitation around him, fear finally began to creep in Darwin's heart. With a slight tremble in his voice, he let out another scowl. "You useless bastards! If anything happens to me you all will be spending the rest of the year at the 30th Precinct. My father is Captain Hughs for pete sake!" Following this sharp exclaimation, the receptionist who were previously attempting to watch from the sidelines, suddenly felt a chill run up their spine. This snobbish brat was actually the son of that Captain Hughs?! Who in the entire city didn't know about the 30th Precinct?! Rumors has it that amongst it's roster of Martial Police officers were sadistic Elites who were deeply instilled with the discipline of upholding the law always. Like sharks, they always seemed to easily locate signs of criminal activities before its roots could spread within their jurisdiction. Of all the 70 Precincts spread across the City, the areas under the jurisdiction of the 30th Precinct were la

—[You have trolled Darwin Hughs for +100.. +100.. +100] "Y--You know who I am?" Darwin's head momentarily went blank. This pauper actually knew who he was? He actually didn't mishear him the first time but knew about his identity as the son of Captain Hughs. So why-- "Yep. How many times am I going to answer that question?" Jedidiah clicked his tongue. "Maybe you've got too much dirt in your ear that is obstructing your hearing?" The realization of the situation slowly dawned on Darwin. The other party clearly knew who he was and yet was intentionally ignoring his father's prestige! —[You have trolled Darwin Hughs for +500.. +500.. +500] x2 "Very good. I was inclined to accept your heartfelt apology after you got on your knees but now? you have not just only been offended me, you have spat on the honor of my father and the entire 30th Precinct!" "Nobody in the entire city will be able to save you now. Not even a god!" Darwin let out a cold fit of laughter that bore a semblan

Jedidiah felt uncomfortable under Natalie's intense gaze. Being stared at in that manner and by a beautiful lady no less, felt surreal to him — It was definitely a first! Just as Jedidiah made to speak, he noticed the middle aged man behind Natalie take a step forward as he extended a handshake. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Charles Baizen" What?! The entire lobby immediately descended into an awkward silence with almost every gaze trailing towards Charles Baizen extended hand. They were not trapped in a dream were they? It had to be! Or else how could they explain the scene playing out before their eyes!! Who was Charles Baizen? He was a trillionaire with a B- List Company under his belt. Someone with that kind of status normally had their pride and the number of people who could cause them to act courteous didn't exceed the two digits figure. If it was a country president who Charles Baizen was addressing in such a courteous manner, none of them would f
Chapter 58
The first time Jedidiah learned that accessing Velvet Rose Garden required a customer to possess a membership card, he had his own share of skepticism — It was just a restaurant where people go to eat right? why did the owner have to be so snobbish about it? However as he arrived at the top floor of the commercial building where Velvet Rose Garden was situated in, he was literally stunned for words. Except his eyes were playing serious tricks on him, stepping into the top floor of the building felt like he just walked right into an entirely different world. "Where are we?" finally unable to contain his curiosity, he found himself blurting out in a clueless manner. To his disbelief, the entire top floor was actually a wide plain littered with velvet roses. Gazebos were strategically erected across several areas of the plain of Velvet Roses and inside them were several customers who appeared to be enjoying their meal with gusto. The colorful chirping of birds.. the refreshing and ca

"Excuse me?" Jedidiah who had just chugged down a glass of clear water, nearly choked on the liquid when he heard Charles Baizen's abrupt and completely unexpected suggestion. Immediately swallowing hard, he let out an awkward cough as he shot Natalie a confused look. As if sensing the puzzlement in Jedidiah's heart, Natalie promptly spoke up. "Although it might sound abrupt, but I am afraid this is the only sensible route you should take. Especially in the current situation you are in." "Current Situation?" Jedidiah repeated under his breath. This was the second time Natalie had uttered this in a row. An ominous feeling began bubbling up in the pit of his stomach. "What is that supposed to mean?" With her cherry red lips parting into a smile, Natalie coyly caressed the rims of her sake cup with her manicured fingers. "The current Miller Clan is at war and you are an unfortunate sheep who just got shoved in between two warring wolves. Even if Lady CeCe ends up being the victor,

By the time Jedidiah stepped out of the bright yellow taxi that smoothly pulled over beside the towering gates of Lady CeCe's Villa, the skies above him were slowly starting to turn dark. "It is about to rain soon." glancing at the digital report of the time across his phone screen, Jedidiah bemused. -- 3:30 pm Watching the taxi drive off into the horizon after he successfully paid his fare, Jedidiah unconsciously continued staring at the receeding backlights of the vehicle, momentarily lost in daze. He was still unable to rid himself from the echos of his conversation with Charles Baizen and Natalie. He ended up mistakenly blurting out the potential danger that both Ayanna and her father were facing at the hands of Viper Teeth and the Skyfall gang. The three of them ended up spending an entire hour brainstorming potential ways to prevent the crisis and they eventually came to an agreement. Although it wasn't something Jedidiah had thought about earlier on, he felt it was the m
