Alves' jaws dropped. A gate man's son? Was that how they saw him?
He didn't know that he had gone past relegation in the house. He couldn't find his words.
"Oh, the gate man's son. I thought he's Laura's husband to be, your son-in-law."
Manuel looked away from Alves. Madam chuckled,
"You amaze me, Mr Lorget. How could I be so tasteless in my choice of Son-in-law?"
Alves felt like he had been shut. He looked towards Laura, his potential wife to be. But Laura threw her face away. He was more disturbed by the reactions of Laura than Madam's words. He didn't remember having a fight with Laura.
"I'll see myself out then. But I must say, you're such a wonderful woman, Mrs Casper. Not every powerful women give such right to the sons of their gate men."
Manuel pecked her on both cheeks and was led out by Mrs Casper. Alves kept his gaze on Laura. He noticed that Laura kept exchanging stares with the son of Manuel who had visited with him.
People began to leave the funeral hall one after the other.
"I wonder why Manuel noticed in you. You're just a piece of trash that even Max doesn't notice."
Michael walked to Alves and tapped him in chest. Now, they were trolling him with Max, the iguana in the sitting room.
"Don't be too harsh on him, Mikie... bro's eyes are already red."
Simeon scorned and followed Michael. Alves called at them,
'What did you mean by few minutes earlier?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
"Hey!"
He tried to stop them but they both walked away, followed by their last born who sneered at him.
He was the only one left in the funeral hall. Suddenly, Laura rushed into the place,
"Madam calls you in. She's in the sitting room."
"Hey, Laura. Let's talk."
"We will, but not today."
She hurried away at once. Alves stood there for a while wondering.
"But Laura was good to me just yesterday and even this morning. What has grandpa death really done?"
"Alves!!!!!!!"
He heard someone bark his name. Madam.
"You called for me."
Alves entered into the multimillionaire sitting room, which was extrinsically and exhaustively furnished. The cheapest thing in the room was worth $15million.
Madam was seated elegantly in her usual chair. The bad guys hanging around, and Caidine standing behind a couch.
THIS IS HELL, Alves admitted in his mind.
"Simeon."
Madam called and Simeon left the room for few seconds. He returned with a grocery bag which contained some unkown content. Alves watched Simeon edge towards him and threw the bag in his chest.
"Scram, loser!"
"I wish you good luck, asshole."
Michael added and one after the other, the family started leaving the living room.
"What's happening? Madam, what's happening?"
Madam suddenly stopped and then turned towards the hallway which led to the second sitting room,
"Where are these useless boys?"
Two hefty bouncers rushed out through the hallway bowed before her,
"Madam."
She nearly kicked one of them as she barked,
"Throw this piece of shit off my property. He has no reason to stay anymore. After all, he has no right to any of these."
"You don't mean, ma. I have nowhere to go. Please don't do this."
The bouncers got to him and picked him up like a grocery item.
"Okay, ma I'll stay with the gate man. I'll squat till I find a place. Please don't throw me out."
But Madam didn't wait, she'd walked away.
"Laura please beg for me... Gareth, you're not like the rest, please help me..."
"Who told you that I'm not like them?"
Gareth walked to him and kicked him in the face with his pointed Italian shoe. Alves started to bleed.
"Die on the street!"
Gareth spat on Alves and Alves was taken out.
"Not in the rain please... please Manor, please Ivan... I can't find a place in this rain. Help me please..."
He didn't know that it's been raining. But did that matter to Madam and her children? Of course not.
Ivan and Manor, the bouncers threw him out of the gate. Ivan warned,
"If you love your life, stay away from this property."
The gate was locked and they walked away.
"Please... help me. Don't do this..."
Alves went on his knees. He hadn't been too long in the rain but the heavy downpour has drenched him.
In no time, he was began to shiver in cold, his fingers ***. There was neither a coming vehicle, nor a going one.
CASPER'S MANSION was built in an isolated area beyond assemblies of thick trees. Cars don't usual ply that route. What's the point, there was no other houses ahead.
Suddenly, his phone chimed in his pocket. But he refused to check it. It was natural to ignore such in the rain.
The phone chimed again and then again.
"Who's this in this rain?"
There were options. And of all these options, it was obviously someone he was owing.
After the unchecked test, came a call. Yet, he ignored it. But unlike the text, the call kept coming in and in.
Out of rage, he brought of his phone, an iPhone 5s and answered without looking,
"Who the hell is this?"
"Sorry to bother you, sir."
Came the voice.
"Who's this?"
"I'm the bank manager of Mavelik Banks."
"Mavelik?"
Alves repeated, probably finding hard to believe. Because Mavelik was the biggest bank in Grimmings Hills.
"How may I help you? I can't talk for long..."
"I have to talk to you in person, sir. I'll be free whenever you are."
"Talk? I'm not sure I understand what you mean?"
"Isn't this Mr Alves Loinglot?"
"Yes that's me."
"Then I'm speaking with the right person."
The manager added,
"I'd love to talk about the money."
"What money? I didn't borrow any loan from Mavelik. I could never even meet the conditions of taking loans in this lifetime.
Alves was alarmed. There was a strange tone to the manager's voice,
"Wait. Did you check your phone yet?"
"My phone?"
Alves muttered.
"Are you in the rain? Sounds like it..."
"Don't worry about that..."
The manager finalized,
"You know what, stay where you are. I'm sending a car to pick you up now. But please check your phone, sir. I'll be with you in a while."
The call dropped.
"What was that about?"
Alves looked at his phone, trying to shield the rain drops away as he went through the message. His eyes widened at the first message that popped up. It read,
CREDIT ALERT: $1 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000
SENDER: ANONYMOUS.

Latest Chapter
"Hi! I'm the anonymous!"
News began to spread across Grimmings about the mystery of the newly discovered Dragon King and mysterious Trillionaire. The news started as still and random as the flowing breeze, until there was a twist which made it hostile, raging like a ferocious wind across Grimming Hills. "That can't be true." Someone said to the people who surrounded him. "The dragon King? He is who?" The same person carried on the argument. "You were not listening?! I said that he was the same person as the son-in-law of the Casper mansion!" The lady who was the centre of attention, said. "What!" Almost everyone who was encircled in that group exclaimed at the discovery. "How is that even possible? It does not make any sense." Someone argued passionately. "That was the same thing I thought in the first place, but for no reason, things started to play out." "But we only just discovered that the dragon King is alive. It hadn't even been more than twenty minutes ago since the press meeting ended! How coul
"Alves?!"
Inside the Casper mansion, there were a couple of people gathered in the living room. They all had their eyes glued to the screen of the TV. Their facial reactions emphasised how absorbed and engulfed they were by whatever was going on on the screen. "Why does it feel like I'll die of curiosity?" Michael muttered, almost falling off his seat. "My heart will be ripped open." Simeon had few of his fingers over his lips in anticipation. "I can't breathe." Their sister was trying to divide her attention between not looking and looking. Madam Casper was seated in her special chair, staring sternly at the screen. Her gaze was locked in as though she would be paid handsomely for the attention squandered. No, invested!On the screen of the TV, there was an explosion at the entrance of the media train, and everyone was waiting, watching with their hearts in their mouths. A man dressed in an entire that wasn't typical of the modern era walked into the media train. There was a black mask on
"I present to you..."
The Prime Minister walked briskly into the media train. There were all several screens set up. As soon as he stepped into the designated area, all the cameras and lightening whirred in his direction. His face was supplanted in the chain of screens, which looked like a cinema. There was hardly anyone on the media train. The cameras seemed to have the mind of their own, zooming in at intervals on the face and other parts of the Prime Minsiter. "Now you are live." A robotic voice said in the train. The Prime Minister took two steps forward into the stream of limelight. "I'm sure that everyone knows who I am." He started. "I am the Prime Minister of this great country, Grimming Hills." He continued. "There has been a lot happening in this country ever since I assumed the position. Though most of them have been significant changes and growth in the economic sector of the country, some of them have been a little concerning." "At least, so it started in the past few months until recen
"That's if it was a human."
Alves was waiting patiently for the arrival of the Prime Minister. No matter how much he tried to dissuade himself from worrying about the punk who had claimed to have his full picture, he just couldn't get the thoughts off his head. He got up from the couch and walked towards the door again. "When did the media get here? I mean, it hasn't even been a minute since the news was broadcast. How could they have arrived here in such a sort space of time?" He murmured, looking through the door. He walked out of the door and headed towards the gate. He was in the compound of the tower. No matter how zealous and intentional the media personnel were, they could never break in. "We are here to meet with the mystery man!" A voice called from outside the compound. "Please, we would love to have a word with you, sir.""Please come answer some of our questions." "We know you are in..."Alves could hear the people calling at him. Leaving the compound premises wouldn't be much of a hassle for h
The Dragon King.
The flaps of giant wings preceeded the wave of wild wind, which swept across Huthi Farmland. The dragon descended at the front of the two bamboo stalks which served as the portal to the parallel world. "What the hell?" Alves was reluctant to climb down from the back of the dragon. It had been clouds and clouds when they travelled from the place where they left the Supreme Majesty. To suddenly find himself back at Grimming Hills was something he could never have anticipated. "Why did I find myself here? Why didn't I return to the Kingdom? What happened? Is this the doings of the Supreme Majesty?" The dragon pushed its head forward till it touched touched the earth. Alves climbed down from its back. "Did I really fly from like two worlds to Huthi under an hour?" He heard the wings of the dragon flap. The Supreme Majesty had told him that the dragon was his spiritual pet. He still didn't know what that really meant. The dragon lifted itself from the earth, and off it flew, as
"Your Spiritual Pet."
"What is sleep?"The Supreme Majesty asked again, waking Alves from his sleep. Alves sat up suddenly. He looked around him. It was as though he was making an effort to understand what was happening."What causes sleep?"The question came again, and he looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing the Supreme Majesty, he looked around him again. He was in a strange area. Clouds surrounded the both of them, yet the earth was rocky beneath him. He slowly got up on his feet. The Supreme Majesty had his back to him. Alves took careful steps towards the divine creature. "Where am I?""Where are we?"Alves asked intermittently. "What is this place?"When he looked to his front again, the Supreme Majesty was no longer there. Alves was neither surprised nor flustered. He had grown to acknowledge wonders like that. "Do not play the word game, Son."The voice came from behind him this time. He turned to look. "Why do you keep asking me what causes sleep? And what does sleep mean?"Alves arg
