James Stefflon The Gifted Heir

Chapter 04

"It's been three years, but now that I stare at it, it looks like it's just been a few days" James sighed emotionally as he stared at the bungalow before him whose environment was already overridden with grass.

 After the confession from the thugs, James let them go, however that was not before breaking half of their bones. Although he couldn't kill them, he could inflict serious pains on their bodies.

 This would teach them to think twice before trying to bully an helpless old lady. With nothing to do James had begun strolling around the city untill he finally arrived before this bungalow.

 This was the home he shared with Becca before he suddenly received the divorce papers on the wall three years ago. Judging from the unhealthy environment, he could tell that Becca had not visited the place in a very long time.

 "Sigh. Just thinking about that evening makes me depressed every time" James shook his head as he walked away.

 Just as he was about to cross the road to the other side, a speeding limousine suddenly horned loudly as it almost ran into James.

 "What the hell?! why are you just staring there like a fool huh? are you trying to beg me for money?!" before James could move his lips, a beautiful and curvy lady came down from the limousine, pointing her long multi colored manicure at James face.

 The other party seemed to be in her early twenties and was clad in an expensive red dress. Her face was very beautiful with a small touch of makeup. However the arrogant expression on her face dispelled the favorable opinion that James was about to have for her.

 "You.."

 "Shut up you miser!" Charlotte shunned James before he could finish speaking as she fished out a hundred dollar bill from her stylish purse as she tossed it at James feet.

 "I have given you money so you can hurry along now. Gosh, you poor people nowadays. Always blocking the path of the rich just for some tips" Charlotte clicked her tongue in disgust.

 "Huh? what are you still waiting for huh? scram! or is the money not enough? how greedy!" Charlotte frowned when she still saw James had made no sign to move or pick the money.

 "You rich people sure are arrogant. You almost ran into me after surpassing your speed limit. However instead of apologizing you think I am a dog who would run along after you throw me a bone and say fetch?" James shook his head.

 "If not for that sick person inside that car, I wouldn't mind putting you in your place. Whatever, I'll just ignore the barking of a dog and mind my business " James snorted as he made to continue walking away.

 Perhaps due to the constant bullying he suffered at the hands of the Blue Family in the past, James had an Innate dislike for this haughty lady before him who thought because she was rich, she could look down on anybody she comes across.

 "Wait!" just then two voice rang out.

 "Father?!" Charlotte cried in surprise when she saw a middle aged man slowly walk out from the limo.

 The middle aged man was clad in expensive black suit. Black dots lined almost every corner of his face and his head contained grey strands of hair while his body excluded a sickly air.

 James brows raised up as he sized the other party. That was because he was the owner of the second voice.

 "Father, you shouldn't come out. We are almost at the hospital" Charlotte appeared frightened as she attempted to lead her father back into the limo.

 "I'm fine" the sick man coughed before fixing his attention on James.

 "Young man, how did you see through my sickness?" he sounded puzzled, because there was no way James could've seen him inside the limo since the windows were tinted.

 "The same way I can tell that you are currently in a critical state. You must be rushing to the hospital correct? in this current state no matter how much money you pay, none of the hospital doctors would be able to heal you" James shook his head as his eyes shone with a faint brilliant sheen.

 From his view, he could sense a thick aura of death qi from the other party. This was a sign that whatever ailment he was suffering from had reached its critical phase.

 "You jinx! how dare you curse my father to death?! do you want to die?!" Charlotte roared angrily.

 "It's fine " the sick man held her back before she could do something stupid.

 "From your tone, I can sense a but coming?" 

 "Indeed. I can temporarily suppress it. However if it is not treated in a week time, then I am afraid not even a Sage would be able to do anything " James nodded confidently.

 "Hmph. Big words. Judging by the clothes you are wearing you are nothing but a church rat. Forget about curing my father, I doubt you even went to medical school " Charlotte sneered.

 "Plus, aren't you being too much of a jinx? there's no way my father's condition is critical. He's only having a high fever and occasional coughs. Aren't you just saying these big words to scam us. Hmph, as if we would fall for that!'

 Seeing Charlotte's display, James shook his head not bothering to refute her words. The sick man seemed to have understood something, causing him to stare at James in shook. If the bold guess in his mind was right, then the young man before them was definitely not simple!

 "Charlotte, show some respect to our esteemed friend" he suddenly warned his daughter sternly as he approached James while cupping his fist.

 "If you heal me, I promise to pay you any amount of money. I can even sign off half of my wealth to you" he promised earnestly, stunning Charlotte who was besides him.

 "Father?!" she cried in shock.

 Was her father growing senile with old age? couldn't she tell that the miser before them was nothing but a pathetic scammer!

 How was her father so blind to this obvious fact?!
