“I'll be setting a task and whoever wins will leave with the location of the Rootox .” Mr Koin declared before turning to face Andrew.

“Your money will be refunded if you lose but you have to partake in the competition first.” He said and Andrew nodded. He beckoned to one of his workers and soon, he walked in with a computer.

The men in the room watched with rapt attention as the herb master proceeded to give the rules and details of the competition.

From their looks, one could tell that they'd lost interest in bidding for any other herb, instead, all they wanted was to watch who would win the Rootox.

“Now, this computer belongs to one of my old masters who had certain confidential and important messages stored in it . However, the computer was attacked by a bug one day and ever since, every computer expert, I mean the best in the field have tried to fix the bug but nothing they did has proved to work.

    The next day, Andrew set off for his journey to the location he'd gotten last night after his win against the five formidable men at the clubhouse. Nita town. While watching Benita sleep the previous night, he spent his time trying to find out as much as he could about Nita town. He wasn't surprised by what he saw but was only thrown off by the circumstances surrounding it. According to the research papers he had read , the Nita town was once one of the biggest, richest and most powerful of all the four towns that made up the Nashville city. They had the best of everything. In battles, they were unbeatable, their army was a group of indomitable people who were determined to crush whoever went against their precious town. They had fertile lands that could make anything grow, they planted the best of food resources and often made great harvest when it was time. These food plants were sold to other towns and thus they generated revenue for their town without borrowing fr

    For centuries, the leaders of Nita town tried to prefer a solution to their problem but nothing they found worked. The herbs failed, the armies failed and every other thing they tried failed and disappointed them. They knew it would take a miracle to find anything that would work against the beast and defeat it but they didn't lose hope. Everyday when they returned to their normal lives, they worked with hope that one day they would find a savior that would free them from the shackles of this beast, and at night, they stayed locked up in their houses. After a while, one of the leaders came up with a plan to offer to give anyone who could defeat the beast by any means, whatever they wanted. They were willing to give everything they have just to see the beast defeated. Several people tried but ended up as meals for the beast. Soon, people stopped challenging the beast and waited for a miracle. Nita town was the only place on earth that still had the Rootox herb . So Andrew

    “This next phase is one that would require you to show us a display of a skill that makes you confident that you'd beat the dragon beast. This doesn't mean that you won't qualify to beat the beast , we just want to make sure you have what it takes to fight the beast . So show us your best skills” Mr Amapolo told the men who listened keenly. Andrew glanced at the two men, standing beside him and saw that they were excited to show off their skills before everyone present. Mr Amapolo stepped back to let the men display their skills. “I'll definitely beat the beast. This is an easy win for me.” The first man laughed loudly while preparing his fortification. The people present watched him with clear admiration and hope in their eyes. He walked to the center of the ground and suddenly closed his eyes shut without moving. Everywhere became filled with silence as they all watched with rapt attention. Before anyone could say anything, multiple versions of the man emerged and the p

    “I know you're all looking for something extravagant and extraordinary but you have to give the little things a chance. You have to look beyond the extraordinary and believe in the little things around you.” Andrew spoke and his voice silenced the crowd. He paused and stared around at the faces of the people present at the event. He waited for his words to sink in before continuing. “Give me a chance to prove to you that there are things beyond the ordinary that work better than the extraordinary. If you want a solution to your problems, then I'll advise that you give me a chance to fight the dragon beast. If you're tired of spending your nights locked up in your houses, let me fight for you and give you all your freedom.” He stopped and returned to his previous position. Mr Amapolo stared at Andrew as though there was something strange about him but he couldn't place what it was. He stepped before the crowd before speaking. “Do you all agree to letting this…young man f

    After seeing what happened to Akiko, the second fighter glanced around the battleground with fear in his eyes. The people waited with bated breath to see what he would do, they hoped he would get determination from the death of his partner but were surprised when he suddenly took off with his head bowed in the opposite direction. Mr Pluto, his boss, was shocked to see him running and tried to stop him. “Alera!! Stop, you need to slay this beast!” He yelled loudly but that did not stop the man from running. They all watched him run till he got out of sight. The people murmured to show their disappointment and some of them even started crying. These two strong men had been their last hope and resort but now, they weren't there to fight anymore. Nobody took note of Andrew still standing until one of Akilo’s supporters saw him and shouted. “Won't you leave too, young man? Aren't you scared of death?” He asked loudly and all the attention returned to Andrew who was standing, und

    When he walked out of the cage, the battleground was silent. The silence was so deafening that a knife could cut through it. Andrew faced the crowd with an emotionless look in his eyes before approaching the leaders. The town's people watched every one of his movements with special interest. They wondered what type of man he was. He was the first person to ever emerge from the dragon beast's cage alive and that was a feat. As Andrew approached the leaders, they shifted uncomfortably in their seats, unable to meet his eyes. They were filled with fear of what could happen if they looked in his eyes. Andrew was an underdog and they would never have thought that he would leave the cage unscathed. He was the least strongest of all the men that went into the cage, yet the beast had surrendered itself to him and even let him touch its scale. To them, Andrew was the eighth wonder of the world. Before Andrew could get to where the leaders sat, Mr Amapolo summoned the courage t

    “Your forefathers casted a spell on him to die.” Andrew paused before picking up his words again. “ They betrayed the promise they made to him when he needed it most and left him to die. They laughed at him for trusting them and scorned him. He'd given them everything they wanted and they refused to keep their end of the bargain instead they tried to kill him. However the spell worked opposite ways. The dragon beast did not die from the effect of the spell, instead, he became inhumane to the sun. He could not come out during the daytime due to how much his skin and scales burned under the effect of the sun.” The people of Nita town were astonished and surprised to hear this. No one had ever told them about the dragon beast's side of the story, it's always been history books that painted him bad. “The dragon beast couldn't believe that your forefathers would betray you after thirty years of protecting them and making their town the biggest and most secured in the city.

    Amik had gotten home that night,his shoulders heavy with the weight of the day’s humiliation. The air inside his penthouse was thick with tension, the silence broken only by the sharp clicks of his polished shoes against the marble floor. His mind replayed the scene at the lounge —Andrew’s cold smirk, the way the other executives had turned their backs as if he were nothing. The memory burned like acid in his chest. His friend, Daniel, was already there, pacing the length of the living room like a caged animal. The television screen flickered with muted news coverage—Amik Corporation’s stocks plummeting, analysts dissecting his downfall with clinical detachment. Daniel’s face was pale, his fingers twitching at his sides as if he wanted to punch something. The moment Amik stepped in, Daniel whirled around, his eyes wild. “What the hell happened, Amik? What did I see on TV?” His voice was a blade, slicing through the quiet. Amik exhaled, his fingers tightening around the glass

    His voice, once proud and sharp, broke down into pleading. “I-I’m sorry,” Amik stammered, hands trembling, “Please… I didn’t know… If I had known… I swear, I wouldn’t have…” He looked up at Andrew like a drowning man begging for rope. “I was wrong. I was so wrong. Please forgive me. Just one chance, just one.” But Andrew didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He didn’t show the rage they had mocked, or the power they had denied. He only looked at Amik with the same quiet calm that had shaken them all to the core. It was that stillness that made it unbearable. “I didn’t know,” Amik repeated, now more desperately. “I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know who you were!” Amik begged harder, his voice growing more frantic. He promised anything, everything—money, favors, loyalty—but deep down, he knew it was too late. It was all his fault . His voice was shaking, words tumbling over each other, but Andrew’s expression didn’t change. There was no mercy in his eyes. He had given him chan

    Amik laughed, loud and careless, the sound ringing through the room. “Don’t tell me you actually believed what this lowlife just said?” He tilted his head, smiling as if he had just witnessed the most ridiculous lie of the century. His words dripped with mockery, his voice full of arrogance. He spoke like a man too sure of the air he breathed, too unaware that it could be taken from him. He looked around for agreement, waiting for the others to join in, but his laughter began to echo back at him. The room didn’t laugh with him this time. There was a pause. A long one. Then a voice snapped through the silence like a crack in glass. "He was telling the truth!" one of the men shouted back, his voice cracking with urgency, and instantly, every pair of eyes in the room jerked toward the television mounted on the wall. And just like that, nothing else in the room mattered anymore. The screen lit up with the red-and-white logo of a news station known for breaking high-priori

  • Chapter 223 : Turn On The Goddamn TV !!

    Andrew slowly took the phone away from his ear, his thumb still resting on the screen. He didn’t blink. He didn’t move. His face stayed calm—too calm. But the room around him was not. Suddenly, loud laughter exploded in the air, sharp and mocking. It was cruel. It was on purpose. Each laugh was louder and meaner than the last, filled with pride and disbelief. They weren’t just laughing at what he said. They were laughing at the idea that someone like him could say it and actually believe it. One of them clapped loudly, almost choking in his amusement. “You hear that?! He cancelled the contract,” he managed to gasp, slapping the armrest beside him. “The bloody contract! What’s next? He owns Jashem too?!” Another man snorted and leaned in, eyes glinting with ridicule. “Only the chairman can make that call. And last I checked, the chairman doesn’t wear cheap jeans and second-hand shoes.” The laughter doubled. It wasn’t just sound—it was assault. “You must really enj

  • Chapter 222: One More Chance

    Andrew was slightly taken aback himself, though not in the way they thought. He hadn't known Amik had partnered with his company. Not because it wasn’t important, but because he hadn’t been keeping up. The CEO had begged him to visit the Jashem branch, to see the numbers, the growth, to meet the new partners. But Andrew hadn’t had the time—or the interest. He had poured his all into that company . He’d built it brick by brick. And when it began to rise, he didn’t cling to it. He didn’t need to see its shadow to know it still stood strong. He set it up to grow without him. He had built ten branches in the ten cities. Each one planted like a seed with deep roots. He had no idea the Jashem branch had grown so much. That it now commanded this kind of attention. That it had the clout to make or break careers. Andrew chuckled softly. The world is small. Smaller than pride. Still, he wouldn’t use it against the man. Not yet. He wouldn’t tamper with Amik’s contract. Bu

  • Chapter 221 : Smaller Than Pride

    Silence fell in the room, Thick and heavy . No one spoke, not even Amik. Every man in that lounge had gone still, as if suddenly realizing they’d been standing beside royalty and hadn’t known it. Every man in that lounge knew exactly who he was now. “This is Amik Brandon, the CEO of Amiklin Corp” One of the men said out loud , his voice trembling with amazement “Of course it's him !” Another yelled in astonishment Amik Brandon. The man the whole of Jashem was buzzing about. The man whose name had been plastered across every media channel four days ago after the shocking announcement that A and U Group had partnered with him. A partnership of that level was unheard of. Almost mythical. Every tech CEO in the city had been trying for years to get A and U’s attention, and yet somehow, Amik had done it. Practically overnight, he'd become Jashem’s newest obsession. People wanted to know how he pulled it off. Was it innovation? Was it bribery? Was it sheer luck? It didn

  • Chapter 220 : Judge The Book By The Cover

    Mr. Amik stood firm, eyes narrowing as Andrew prepared to walk past. His presence wasn’t loud, but the tension in his stance spoke volumes. To him, the idea of this plain-dressed stranger cutting ahead was nothing short of an insult. It wasn’t just impatience—it was disbelief. And somewhere beneath it, bruised pride that refused to bleed quietly. In Jashem City, you could size a man up before he even spoke. The city was built on performance, and everyone knew it. Wealth was never silent. It sparkled in diamond watches, strutted in limited-edition suits, and screamed from behind tinted luxury cars. That was the code. That was the order. And in this order, no rich man dressed in a shirt and faded jeans. So Amik didn’t need confirmation. He didn’t need names or stories. He had looked at Andrew, made a decision, and moved on. Lower class. Clearly. And now that man was stepping in before him? He felt his chest tighten with fury, the kind that didn’t explode—but boiled. H

  • Chapter 219 : The Meeting

    Andrew decided to meet with Mr. Torino, the man Cain had mentioned—the one who supposedly held answers about the crimson herb. Whether the man could be trusted was still uncertain, but at this point, Andrew knew one thing for sure: the deeper he went into this web, the more every move mattered. When he arrived at the office, he saw five other men already seated in the narrow waiting area. They didn’t look like ordinary clients. Their suits were crisp, their silence loaded. Men like these didn’t sit in waiting rooms unless they were waiting for something very valuable—or someone very powerful. And none of them seemed like the type to be kept waiting for long. Andrew took a seat without a word. His eyes didn’t scan the room. He didn’t acknowledge anyone. There was no point in drawing attention to himself when all he wanted was information. His thoughts were elsewhere—fixed on the herb, Cain’s warning, and now this mysterious Mr. Torino. Minutes passed. He was still thi

  • Chapter 218 : Ten Steps Ahead

    Andrew stood still, his jaw locked tight, eyes unreadable. The cold in his expression far sharper than any weapon aimed his way. Twenty guns. Twenty black barrels waiting for a command. But not a twitch crossed his features. There was no panic behind his eyes. He wasn’t thinking about the bullets or the weight of twenty triggers. His mind was far ahead. Past the fear. Past the noise. Locked on the only thing that mattered now—the herb. “I’ll sign on one condition,” Andrew said finally, his voice quiet but clear as he took a slow, unhurried step toward Cain. Cain's hand twitched, the papers on the desk rustling under his palm. “If you move an inch, I’ll order my men to shoot,” he snapped, slamming his palm down again, like that sound alone could make him feel powerful. “Sign the document. Once you do, we’ll start from there.” Andrew didn’t look at the paper. He didn’t look at the button. He only looked at Cain. And he knew. If Cain had really meant to kill him, he would
