CHAPTER 7

The manager instantly rushed down.

A Flintshire was not someone he could dare to offend.

What was this customer talking about though?

They had made extreme efforts to train every one of their staff on good behaviour and customer service.

But sweat pooled on the manager's head, this wasn't just a customer

This was a Flintshire and with a single statement, he could lose his high paying job.

Quinn stood, checking his watch when a man walked up to him.

Looking down, he realised this person was also wearing a salesman tag.

“Good day Sir. Are you interested in any one of our cars? I can show you a few of them if you just tell me your preference.” The young man said, giving Quinn a smile.

Quinn looked at the man before letting out a sigh.

“Okay. I'd give the company one more chance.”

Although the man didn't understand what Quinn was talking about, he still waited.

“I want something like a truck but lightweight and with bulletproof glasses, and it should also be fast.” Quinn tried to explain.

He wasn't a connoisseur of cars but he knew what he wanted.

In his last life, he had seen someone drive that exact vehicle and was able to scale through the thick icy ground.

He needed to prepare for that.

“I have just the right vehicle, Sir. Please follow me.”

The man said and Quinn went along with him.

They arrived in front of the central display.

Staying there as a large mechanical vehicle, with iron clad body, it was covered in deep metal and its tires were laced with iron rods that would make it stick to the icy ground.

“Is this what you are looking for?” The salesman asked and Quinn quickly nodded.

This was even better than what he saw in his last life.

If anything, he would have wanted more of these vehicles.

But it was okay.

“Yes, I'd like to take this and then I'd want to know how much I'd be paying for it.” Quinn said with a smile.

He was much more satisfied now that his needs had been met.

The manager rushed down.

“Good day, Sven. Have you seen any client by the name of Flintshire?” The manager said quickly, while Quinn stood by the side.

“I believe you are talking about me.” Quinn said, pulling out his identity card

Unlike his subordinate, the manager was a very calm man so he didn't want to rush what was going on.

At first glance, it would never be easy to tell that Quinn, the man in front of him, had come from a wealthy family.

“It really is you, Mr. Flintshire. Please I am so sorry for what encounter you faced in the morning, please might I know the person that made this mistake.”

The manager said, wanting to address the problem immediately.

The best way they could get favour from this rich man was if they soothed his concern.

“That guy over there refused to attend to me, because he thought I wasn't a customer and I had just come in to sightsee and steal.” Quinn said with a wave of his hand.

He was no longer angry about the issue now that he had been attended to.

The manager frowned. “I understand, Mr. Flintshire. I'd take care of the issue right away.”

He said and walked over to where the salesman was standing.

Quinn watched with a smile as he saw the manager tear off the tab of the salesman.

Looking away, Quinn gave no chance for the man to apologise.

The security walked in and they were quick to take the man and pull him off.

“You can rest easy now, Mr. Flintshire. Everything you need would be promptly provided for your perusal.”

Quinn was quick with buying the car and he instantly paid the amount in full.

“You. Please come here.” He called the salesman who had helped him out.

“This is for you, the weather is going to be dangerous, ensure to stockpile a lot of food for your family.”

The salesman was confused but this was a rich person talking, he couldn't interrupt.

Quinn could see the sign of confusion but that didn't matter.

“Even if it's just a little, just buy extra food for the coming harsh weather. And you should know I'm not kidding because I have my connection.”

That was it.

The connections of a wealthy man.

The salesman nodded and Quinn proceeded to transfer ten thousand dollars to him.

It was merely a tip.

If only people were this generous, the world would be a better place.

The bank had transferred to him the rest of his money, so the only thing he could do now was to hold them down.

In the apocalypse, the use of money wouldn't be guaranteed, but after that not everyone would have enough money to use.

The drive to the address wasn't long and Quinn parked his car at a distance before coming down to work.

The cold blade of the knife behind his back pressed into his cold skin.

Quinn smirked, remembering how he was beaten up in his last life.

This was the perfect time to take this revenge and hope he never has to see such a set of people again .

Harold walked out from the shadows, his hair combed to a slick back.

His bandaged hand was on display and he snickered.

“If it isn't the golden boy.” Harold laughed and at the same time, other men came out of the hiding.

With their fists ready to pound.

“What are you talking about, Harold? I thought you wanted to talk?”

Quinn feigned ignorance but Harold wasn't having it.

He pointed to his bandaged wrist, “I'm not going to talk to the person that did this to me. Get him!”

At the sound of Harold's voice, the gang of men moved in for the kill.

  • CHAPTER 14

    Quinn had spent days in front of the weather monitor, tracking the storm city by city across the tri-state area. He barely slept at all and he had already gone through more than a dozen sachets of instant coffee. He was looking for deviations from his previous life, and so far the news was good. Almost every major city had flooded, and the storm had killed more than a few people, but the government had thrown together drainage systems under pressure, and as the storm lost strength the numbers improved by the day. People were still told to stay indoors, though the odds of being swept away by the flood outside were much lower now. His shelter sat on elevated ground and was more or less safe from the water."It'll be over in a few days," he told Emily.She was perched on the arm of the couch, eating white bread he'd pulled out of his spatial storage that morning. "But you said it will comes back."He had given her his predictions, the ones he could explain without explaining how he knew

  • CHAPTER 13

    Quinn sat in the den, staring at the television. The backup generator was running through the storm as planned. He leaned back into the couch and rubbed his eyes.He had a lot of explaining to do, and he no idea how to start. How do you tell someone you've already lived through the end of the world? That in another life, you ignored her call, and by the time you understood what it meant, she was gone?Twenty minutes had passed since Emily went into the bathroom. He was starting to wonder if she'd fallen asleep in there when he heard her footsteps. She came in wearing a loose shirt and the sweatpants he'd found in the guest room, rubbing her damp hair with a towel."Tea?" he asked."Please."He went to the kitchen and filled the kettle. He'd stocked enough for months: tea, coffee, bottled water, instant meals stacked in neat rows. Emily sat on the couch and watched him as he prepared it."Are you going to tell me what's going on now?""Yes.""Good. Because I'm still trying to understan

  • CHAPTER 12

    Quinn waited in his car as the wind blew violently around him. The truck rocked slightly with every powerful gust, and the trees lining the road bent under the force of the storm. Emily was five minutes away, if the GPS location she shared with him was correct. The rain was already slapping roughly against the windshield, running down the glass in thick streams, and he could barely see more than a couple of feet ahead of him.He left the headlights on and the passenger-side door unlocked so she'd be able to find him easily, but he was starting to feel uneasy.Emily was a petite woman, and while he knew it was unrealistic, he feared she'd be blown away by the winds.Two more minutes... If she's not here by then, I'll be forced to go look for her, he thought to himself, determined not to lose her this time around.He counted down the seconds, his heart beating faster with worry as the numbers got lower. Every few seconds, he glanced at the side mirrors, hoping to catch a glimpse of her

  • CHAPTER 11

    Quinn got into his shelter and locked it down. He hoped Mr. Benson would get to safety before the storm hit.For a moment, he simply sat there. The smile on his face remained, but his mind was already racing.In his previous life, the first major disaster had been predictable.The false typhoon warning then he real storm followed by the collapse of the power grid and the major flooding... then everything else.He remembered the sequence so clearly because of the unique trauma each event had arrived it and using that map, he had treated the future like a schedule.But now that confidence was gone. The storm changing courses meant that the future was no longer set on stoneQuinn pulled out his phone and opened the notes application. He created a new folder and started typing.[Things I Remember.]Under it, he created another.[Things That Have Changed.]He stared at the screen for a few seconds before typing.[Storm path changed... possibly because of my actions.]Quinn leaned back and

    You ruined my reputation Quinn!" Lisa had tears in her eyes as she yelled at Quinn.Quinn was already used to her manipulation tactics from his previous life and nothing could redeem her from the evil her and her family did to him."You planned to destroy me Lisa, I'm just returning the favour" he barely looked at her as the construction workers had already resumed their work. He wanted to humiliate her more but there were more important things right now."I'll make you regret this Quinn" Lisa yelled after him but he ignored her as he received an alert on his phone. It was a red alert for everyone warning them to take shelter from the incoming typhoon but he knew it was a false news.Quinn merely glanced at the notification. In his previous life, this same warning had sent thousands of people into a frenzy, only for nothing to happen.The real disaster would come soon and by then, it would be too late for anyone who wasn't prepared."Keep working!" He yelled to the construction worke

    Quinn frowned at each and everyone of them.He was making sure their faces were engrained in his memory.In the coming of the harsh apocalypse, he would turn his back on everyone.Lisa didn't want to say anything but she knew that his stance was valid.“And you think you can come to my house without a police warrant? Harassing my workers? What level of stupidity.”Quinn said, then the hint of a smile appeared on his face.Wealth was good.Wealth was power.And before money lost its value, he would make sure to appropriately use it.Before Lisa left his house, he had gotten a set of people to follow her.These were easily found on the dark web, he just needed to pay these people.“Since you all have no evidence. I'm going to give you mine.”Quinn took out his phone, and opened the door to this house.Lisa could feel the dread rising from within her.She hated where this was going and there was no way she could leave at the moment.These people held her tight.The spacious living room w
