Caleb froze when he saw the crow with the monkey’s eye in its mouth.And it was staring right at him like some cold-blooded murderer drunk on killing.What he was seeing was very hard for Caleb to process.How did the crow even remove the water tank’s lid, then drop a monkey inside?And why would it even do such a thing?Was it to cause Caleb nuisance?Was it just showing off that it could harass Caleb in more ways than one?What was it trying to prove?Caleb could not think of one specific reason.Whatever the case maybe, this crow was proving to be so much more dangerous than he thought.Until now, he was only thinking of taming it, but he could feel that the crow’s intelligence was growing to the point that it was scaring him.It killed a random monkey today.What if it attacked some person close to Caleb just to make things difficult for him?All these thoughts burdened his mind very much.And he gave up on the idea of taming this crow. Instead, he was already considering it as a

A few minutes passed.Everybody was still waiting outside the apartment for Caleb to return.Even the kids were eagerly waiting.Velma came up to the manager and asked, “Did Caleb pay the money in full, or was it EMI?”“I can’t tell you without his permission,” the manager replied with a smile.“The way you brought a truck here and even gifted Caleb some gadgets and other items…” Velma smirked. “It’s a bit obvious that he has paid the money. Am I correct?”The manager just shrugged.“At least tell me the price.”“No offense, but you don’t look like you can afford it,” the manager said in a low voice.Velma’s ego was hurt by those words.She immediately took out her mobile and showed him her bank balance.The manager’s expression softened quite a bit.Velma could buy two such luxury cars if she wanted.“Forgive me if I offended you,” the manager slightly bowed his head and apologized.“Hmph, don’t judge a book by its cover,” Velma retorted. “Anyway, now tell me how much the car cost an

After Montmore left, Caleb sat down on his bed and ate a piece of cake.The system threw a warning, but he continued to eat.So the system punished him by making him fart a lot.Caleb didn’t mind it because he was alone in his flat right now.“It is not about the money but the memories we make that define our lives…” Caleb faintly smiled. “If only Rita felt the same way, we wouldn’t have broken up. I wouldn’t have become a walking gas cylinder.”He sent a text message to Rita, saying: I wish you the best.And he felt a bit better after sending the message.At a luxury restaurant named Rizzer.This was a place where only the elites were allowed to book reservations for a meal or to stay.This was an excessive place even for the likes of Rita.If she had to try alone, she might not be able to book a table here. It wasn’t that she wouldn’t be able to afford the prices here, but her family just wasn’t influential enough to get prioritized by the restaurant.Rita entered the eighth floor,

Caleb opened his eyes and found himself sitting in front of the dishes.“Oh, shit, did I slip into sleep? How much time has passed?”Denise was not in the hall.“Is she using the restroom?” as he wondered, Denise came out into the hall.She took nearly ten minutes, but it seemed like Caleb wasn’t upset about it.He started serving the food, whereas Denise had a mixed expression on her face.She thought her uncle was on the right side, and that it was Caleb who had framed her uncle, but it turned out to be the opposite.Caleb was just trying to save himself and in that process also exposed her uncle.Touching her forehead, “What should I do?”The only person she had a real soft spot for was her uncle.“Is something wrong?” Caleb asked. “Are you having a headache?”“N-No, I’m fine,” Denise said softly.Caleb saw the bond meter score on her going up into the mid forties.“I didn’t do anything in particular, but the score is rising so much,” he thought and felt happy inside. “Is it becaus

A hundred days later.The renovation of the apartment had finished, and the building was named Ronnie’s.Ronnie was the name of Caleb’s father.The residents were all still there, and the rent was lowered from 600 to just 500 dollars.And there were two armed guards stationed at the main entrance now. These two guards were the same two big guys who once worked for Harvey. After Harvey kicked them out, they came to work for Caleb instead.A group of thugs arrived in two cars and stopped at the entrance.Seeing the guards, they contained their anger and asked, “Tell Caleb to come out. Mr. Harvey wants us to bring him.”The two guards simply pointed their machine guns at the thugs, making them smile and step back.“There’s just two of you,” the thugs also took out their guns quickly. “Are you sure you want to do this for some fat fuck who’s too scared to leave his apartment?”“We are willing to give our last breaths for Boss Caleb,” the two big guys replied with cold confidence. “Can you
