DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
Lizzy, a bit uncertain, decided to take Devin to see the necklace just so he'd be satisfied.I know he can't purchase it. But If he can see it, maybe he'll be satisfied,” she said to herself.“Alright then…” she beamed with a smile. “Follow me,” she told himDevin simply followed her as she led him into the VIP aspect of the mall. There, a lot of beautiful jewelry was on display, ranging from diamonds to gold and pearls.“This necklace, The Emerald Bed, was said to be worn by a Queen in the 16th century. It was lost for a time before it suddenly turned up in the black market. Other than it being a huge investment for my mall, it is also the most expensive thing I have,”“That is why I can't sell it for less than five million dollars. I hope you understand, Devin,” she told him, wishing she'd see why she couldn't sell to him at a cheaper rate.Within her, Lizzy wasn't even certain Devin had up to two hundred dollars to make a purchase. But she was willing to give him a necklace of five

“Oh, now the fucker's getting on my nerves!” Mr Taylor said in both anger and bewilderment. Lizzy, determined to this done and over with, imputed the ten million dollars in the computer.“You have guts. I must say. When this is over, and you're drooling in your shame, maybe I'll consider giving you a job as a cleaner in my company, just to help out your miserable, dreamful life,” Mr. Taylor told Devin.Devin didn't want to waste any more words with him. He kept quiet as Lizzy carried out the transaction. Then she called him for his pin and he imputed it.With skepticism, she pressed the ‘done’ button. And she barely even initiated the transaction when she got the notification.'Congratulations! Payment of ten million dollars successfully completed!’Lizzy froze on the spot when she saw the notification. Her eyes darted from the computer screen to Devin, who stood there with his arms crossed.“Ha! The transaction was an epic failure, wasn't it? I knew it! Now this useless brat will be

“He shouldn't have taken the deal. Now he's going to be humiliated,” “Yes! He should have gone to prison with what's left of his integrity,”“What if he has no integrity. He's a shameless thief without abilities, remember? What can he do?”Devin heard the whispers as he approached the convulsing man. He knelt beside him and stretched forth his hand.He could see the red weaves surrounding the man, the way they shone and fluttered.The man was losing the fight.“Devin, you don't have to do this. Just wait for the ambulance to get here,” Lizzy said to him.“He'll be dead by the time they get here. I have to act now,” Devin replied to her. He placed both hands on Simon's body and closed his eyes, allowing his energy to siphon into Simon.At first, nothing happened. Simon kept convulsing. And then, all of a sudden, he let out a cry like a roar and fainted.“D-did you just fucking kill him? Oh my God! What the fuck did you do?” Mr Taylor yelled at Devin as people murmured nervously.Lizzy

“There's no way in fucking hell! Who let you in here?” Mr Taylor yelled at Devin as soon as he stepped into the five-star hotel with lots of beautiful lighting and furniture.Devin had returned to the hotel that night to see Simon and while he admitted the tapestry of the building, Mr Taylor showed up.“I'm fucking talking to you. You can't come in here without an invitation. Did you fucking cheat your way into this hotel?” He yelled again.Devin didn't want to waste any words on him. He was silent while Mr Taylor kept speaking.“I should get the security men to drag your lazy ass out of here. Deceiving people and thieving is a character we do not appreciate in this place!” He added.But Devin, completely unfazed by his threats, walked closer to the receptionist in the lobby.“Hey! Get back here. I'm talking to you, fuckface!” Mr Taylor yelled again. She gave Devin a kind smile while her eyes darted from him to Mr Taylor. Devin could see that he made her uncomfortable.“How may I hel

“I didn't bring her in here. She came here by herself,” Devin stated while looking at Mr Simon.“Liar! Fucking liar! Even now that he's caught, he's still lying. Just confess your indiscipline and disrespect to Mr Simon. Fall on your knees and ask for forgiveness,” Mr Taylor yelled again.“Why should I when I'm innocent?” Devin asked Mr Taylor and crossed his arms. By that time, Miriam had covered herself with the cloak again, and she was waiting by the sofa.“Devin, did you really bring her here to sleep with her?” Mr Simon asked Devin.“No, I didn't. That's her. You can ask her,” he replied calmly.“He's not even sorry for what he did. Disrespecting a top shot like Mr Simon is an offense that deserves a beating. You should be ashamed of yourself!” Mr Taylor accused further.“How's the nose? Seems it's better now that you're running your mouth!” He said to Mr Taylor who gritted his teeth.And then, Mr Simon turned to Miriam.“I want you to tell me the truth. Did Devin call for your a

“Amanda, I think you should see this!” Lila, Amanda's best friend rushed to show her a video of her crawling like a pig in the airport. Amanda's blood ran cold when she saw the nasty remarks that the people were making on the video.“She's such a disgusting pig. Nothing would ever make me do this!”“She's super shameless. It's not the first time she's humiliated herself like this.”“Isn't she the shameless bride that got kicked out of her own wedding?”More and more comments followed, and Amanda gave Lila the phone.“I should have them take this down. How dare they!” Lila pouted, and she looked at Amanda with a conceited heart. “I mean, they're saying all these nasty things about you. We have to stop this,” Lila said again. “Don't bother. It won't change anything,” Amanda replied to her and drank from the bottle of gin in her hand. Lila looked pleased to see Amanda so fucked up, but she pretended like she cared.She sat down beside Amanda and gently touched her hair, kissing her.“

“What is it?” Luther asked her. Lila sighed while she quickly looked for a place to park her car.“Are you interested in making an investment? I promise it'll give back everything you've ever lost!” She said to him.“What sort of investment?” “An egg. Rumour has it the egg has magic. Apparently, there are people in our world called cultivators and the egg can grant them a boost in their powers,” Lila explained.On the other side of the phone, Luther's eyes opened wide while he listened to her explaining.“If it's true, and I can gift this egg to King Viper, then I'll be able to get him to do anything for me in the Future,” he thought to himself.“How much are we talking about?” He asked her.“Well, millions… but that is not even the issue right now. The museum where we stole, well, took it from, they're looking for the egg.”“And they've asked Devin to find it,” she added.Luther frowned when she mentioned Devin's name. He clenched his fist and gnashed his teeth until his jaws harden

“Ma'am! I didn't see you coming,” the assistant said to Vera who still held her hand in the mid-air, clenching it tight.“Is this how you go about harassing people just because you work for me?” Vera asked her, but the assistant muttered.“No, ma'am. It's not what you think. The fucker started it!” The assistant accused but Vera pushed her hand off.The assistant staggered back and nearly fell. “And now you're still fucking lying to me? How daft do you think I am?” Vera yelled at her.“Apologize to him. Now!” She added.The assistant baited her eye, glancing at Devin.“But ma'am, he should be the one to apologise. He even said hurtful things to me,” the assistant argued but Vera cut her off.“Apologize or you lose your fucking job!” She yelled at the assistant. Terrified of losing her job, the assistant bowed her head before Devin.“I'm sorry for what happened, sir. It will not repeat itself,” she said but Vera frowned.“Apologize on your knees,” she said to the assistant who gasped.

It was said to be a map leading to treasures, both material and mystical. He leaned forward, intrigued, a glimmer of ambition igniting within him.“Of course, we saved the best for last. Let the bidding begin!”“one hundred million!” Devin saidGasps rippled through the crowd. He could see the surprise etched on the faces of wealthy collectors who had expected a more timbered show. It wasn't just the prize that should have captivated them, but the sheer boldness of the first bid. “ one hundred and thirty million!” shouted an elderly billionaire across the room, waving his paddle energetically.“Two Fifty!” Devin countered boldly.“Two Seventy-five million!” The elderly man’s voice faltere

A spotlight illuminated Mr. Simon, who approached with steady steps, his sharp suit tailored to perfection.Lila stood at the forefront, her heart pounding, a slight tremor in her hands. She clutched the auction paddle tightly, her eyes darting nervously between Mr. Simon and the crowd. Today would either mark her redemption or command her downfall.“Ladies and gentlemen!” Mr. Simon’s voice boomed, filled with pomp. “I asked for Devin Stone's help to find a stolen property. And it has appeared here…” He paused, allowing the collective gasps to wash over him like waves, and then shot a withering glance at Lila. “And what is our naïve little saleswoman going to tell us today?”Lila cleared her throat, feeling the weight of the spotlight. “This egg is…” she started, but her voice faltered as Mr. Simon interrupted.“Surely, you’ve got more to offer than your charming smile, Lila. What’s next; are you going to sing us a lullaby?” The crowd chuckled, the combined laughter reverberating thr

The auctioneer, a silver-haired man named Bernard, smirked as he prepared to start bidding, oblivious to the chaos brewing in Devin’s mind. “Ladies and gentlemen! I present to you an extraordinary piece of history—the one and only Egg!”“Hold on!” Devin shouted, stepping into the spotlight, his voice slicing through the hushed excitement. The crowd turned, surprised, some with whispers of curiosity. The auctioneer raised an eyebrow, the mockery swirling in his tone. “And who might you be to halt this illustrious event? A lobbyist? An amateur historian?” The crowd chuckled, but the seriousness in Devin’s eyes cut through their laughter.“I’m Devin Stone, and I’m here to tell you that this Egg is stolen property.” His voice boomed, unwavering as he faced Bernard. “It was taken from the Stonehenge Museum last week. You’re in possession of a criminal artifact!”Laughter erupted, and Bernard smirked, brushing off Devin’s assertion. “Ah, a connoisseur of myths as well as artifacts, are we?

She had an air of confidence that set the crowd aflame, almost making them forget she was the much-dreaded nemesis from a neighborhood rival.Kia swallowed hard, her grip tightening around the bidding paddle. The stakes had just been raised higher than she had expected. “Thirty million,” she countered. The auctioneer nodded, his excitement heightened as his gavel hovered above the podium. “Thirty million!

She couldn’t let this opportunity slip away. “Fifty million,” K

“Amanda. Of course, it's you. No one here has a voice as annoying as yours. Although, by now, I thought you'd be shutting the fuck up in public,” Kia retorted, and Amanda chuckled.“Bitch, don't try to be cute. It doesn't suit you. Your place is in the dirty kitchen of some old, worn-out man,” Amanda said and smiled.“And where is that useless boyfriend of yours? Your fellow liar and golddigger? Or has he abandoned you already?” Amanda asked and laughed, but Kia just drank her champagne in silence.“Aw. He must have gotten the attention of another woman and now you feel used. U wish I could say sorry to you, but you deserve to be treated like trash,” Amanda added.Kia placed her glass down and turned to Amanda.“That's rich coming from you. After cheating on him, you're still shameless enough to be obsessed with him. What does that say about you? Slut!” Kia retorted.Amanda saw how furious Kia was. She suspected that something had pissed her off and she didn't want to pick a fight she

“How dare you even suggest that rubbish to me? Do I look like one of your cheap whores that you can use and dispose of?” Petra yelled at Luther as he stood frozen on the spot.His hands were placed on the right cheek where Petra had slapped him. His eyes darted to Devin, who stood there, arms crossed, with a smirk on his face.A wave of anger came upon Luther as he saw the smirk.“That bloody asshole is manipulating you and you can't even fucking see it!” He yelled back at Petra.“Is he yelling at Petra? She's too important to be treated like trash,”“He shouldn't have done that. Now he has to make amends,”“What if she doesn't forgive him? She has influence. She can ruin his life,” Several talks filled the air and Luther could hear them. Petra angered even more, stood in defiance.“You have abused and insulted me, Luther. And I demand an apology,” she said and crossed her arms.Luther sighed. He couldn't afford to have the public opinion turned against him, especially not now that h

“What did you just say to me?” Luther fumed and slammed Jim's head again. Jim tried to fight back but Luther was bigger and stronger than he was. He stood no chance.“Forgive me… please!” Jim started begging.“If you say a word of what you saw to your sister, I'll fucking kill you, slowly. Do you understand, you useless brat?” He yelled at Jim, who shook his head quickly.Luther gave him another punch in the face and walked away as Jim bled on the ground. “Fucking rabbit!” Luther cursed over and over again and trudged to the lobby. His eyes roamed for a familiar sight, but everyone was stealing glances at him, wondering how he could be walking free even when he had a five-year sentence.“How powerful is he that he can walk away from such a sentence?”“He must have friends in high places. I wouldn't want to cross him!”“Luther has always been amazing. Everyone knows this. It's best you be on your best behavior when you're around him,” more and more whispers followed.Luther enjoyed th

Petra's phone call had changed the mood in an instant. And Kia had gone from the flirty, wild side of her to the cold nature.Devin knew not to engage her in a conversation. He just wanted the night to be done and over with in a swift time.Finally driving to the auction, Devin helped her step out of the car. But she wasn't even looking at him anymore.“I wanna go grab something to drink,” she said and walked away from him and went to mingle. Devin watched her and sighed. “Trouble in paradise?” Jim, Amanda's brother suddenly said to Devin and approached him, holding a drink in his hand. He faked a smile, but his intention was to hurt Devin.“For someone who pretends to be a top shot, you sure don't know how to handle women. Or let me guess, Yvonne Hall dumped your sorry ass when she found you cheating on her with Kia?” Jim asked again and chuckled.But Devin was still silent. He was irritated by Jim's presence and did not even want to say a word to him.“Are you fucking ignoring me?
CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
“Are you certain that you want to come with me to the auction?” Devin asked Kia while she wore the expensive necklace he bought for her. She kept her eyes fixed in the mirror, not taking them off for a second.“Yes. I want to. Petra asked you to be her bodyguard. Well, you can be my bodyguard too,” she replied jealously. Devin smiled. He approached her and hugged her from behind. “You know you're the only woman in my heart, right? I will never do anything to hurt you,” he told her and kissed her cheeks.Kia moaned lightly and shut her eyes. “That doesn't mean that I cannot fight to keep you. I'm coming, Devin. That's final,” she added.Devin raised his hands in submission. “Alright. Let's have a great night,” he added before he walked out of the room.In a few minutes, Kia was ready and they headed to the auction. Devin drove his Porshe. He had asked Dreykov to stay behind for the night, as he didn't want any extra attention at the auction.While he drove, Kia looked into the mirror.
