Tale of the Triggered Man

Walking alone in the middle of a road looking at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, Roger sighed. He was tired of all this humiliation he was going throw. He took out the jade buddha that he had bought for Lord Taylor and looked at it with a slight smile. It was hard to tell if that smile was due to happiness or sadness. Roger had personally visited the auction the previous week and bought the buddha statue for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to gift it to Lord Taylor on his birthday, but he didn't expect the people there to treat him like that! More ṭhan the words of the Taylor family, what hurt him most was that his own wife didn't believe him. Just as he was bemoaning over that, his phone notification rang! Ding! [Pearl: Requesting presence] It was a short message, with two words from someone whom he added as Pearl. Seeing the message, his facial expression changed! He who was walking towards their home, turned around making his way towards a certain back alley. T

The next morning, after making his own breakfast before anyone in the family was awake, Roger rode his bike to the Emerald group's office. He parked his bike on the side of Emerald's parking lot and made his way inside. Roger directly walked into the elevator, the gaurd noticed roger but it seemed like Merlin has already made the necessary arrangements as he just bowed to Roger. Roger who entered the elevator, pressed the button with the highest number which was the 9th floor, where the chairman's office was located. The door of the elevator closed and in a short time, he found himself in front of the 9th floor. Merlin had already made all the arrangements for him here at Emerald to take over as the Chairman and she personally had selected Pearl for the role of vice-chairman to further look into the business matters. Though she was unknown as Pearl inside the 'BlackStrom' organization, she had another identity in the outside world as Lilly. She had earned her reputation as a re

The announcement that the ownership of the Emerald has been changed and the news about how Emerald has cut all the ties with The Moore family shook the entire White bridge town. When the Taylor family heard about the news, they figured out that the reason that the ties with the Moore family has been cut off was probably that the new owner of the Emerald didn't think much of the Moore family. Rather than that, Lord Taylor was shaking with anger when the news reached his ears. He wanted to call off the marriage of Erza with Joseph at that exact movement but he knew that even if the Moore family had no ties with Emerald, they would still be stronger than the Taylors and without anything to guarantee, he couldn't lose the ties, so he could grit his teeth and bear it with for now. Back to the point, Even after all these changes, one question remains in everyone's mind. Who was the new owner of Emerald? He simply bought the Emerald which was worth more than 10 billion like it was noth

It was a cemetery. Countless gravestones stood on the land, like swords stuck to the ground and the whole graveyard was surrounded by a board fence. Most of the headstones were no longer even legible. Grass and weeds grew rank over the whole cemetery. And in the middle of such cemetery stood a crowd of people. They were gathered around a burial hole that was dug out with a heap of sand just beside it. There were people crying and wailing on one side of the burial site and the people who were standing ideally, talking about something as if they were busy on the other side. And in the middle of all the wailing and talking was a boy, sitting just in front of the burial site with a corpse in front of him. By his appearance, he seemed to be about 10 or 11 years at most, but his eyes told otherwise. he was watching a corpse of a certain woman, who was covered in whole by white cloths.
