"Sigh.. I really need to make money so I can at least buy a bicycle or a mode of transport. I can't keep on borrowing someone's scooter whenever I want to go out" James mumbled to himself as he rode down a scooter down the asphalt of a bustling road.

Although it was currently noon, the road was almost jam-packed with moving vehicles and walking pedestrians alike.

"If I sell those pills I refined, I wonder how much I am going to stand to make? a majority of them are Nirvanic pills so surely they won't sell for cheap, right?" he thought inwardly.

Back when he was with his master, he didn't need to worry about the secular use for money. Was it food? they hunted down animals in the forest and roasted their flesh.. was it clothing? his master was a gifted craftsman. During the time he spent with his master, James only had two focus.. cultivate his martial qi and practice alchemy. He didn't even need to worry about the herbs or ingredients because his master always seemed to provide th

    "Achou!" James suddenly balled his fist as he placed it across his lips to block out a sudden sneeze. "Are you feeling cold.. Boss?" standing besides him, Da Plutos blurted out curiously. "I'm fine.." while speaking, James casted his eyes towards the sun in the sky, whose radiance was starting to dim. "Are you sure you informed them?" he couldn't help but inquire. "Yes Boss.." Da Plutos expression went sullen when he noticed none of the gang leaders he reached out to were anywhere in sight."It's alright. I wanted to do things in a civilized manner.." "Are we going to attack them and put them in their place?" Da Plutos suddenly blurted out a suggestion. "What? of course not.." James shook his head in disagreement. "Although what I plan on doing requires their co-operation.. I never said it was of high necessity. Just you would be fine.." James explained completely unbothered that the gang leaders stood up his invitation. "However.." he added. "The promise I made to you still

    The next day, James embarked on a little trip out of New Sensation Villa while riding a brand new blue colored scooter. It wasn't like he was trying to be low-key or anything but James had never actually handled the wheels of a vehicle.. scooters and bicycles were his go-to method of transportation. Half an hour later, James was no longer in the urbanized district of New Sensations villa but was now in the ghetto underprivileged area of Yellow Bottoms; the district where he lived for most of the childhood he could remember. "Hmm.." he mused as he observed the dirty sewage lining that corners of the street. It was unknown what was going on in his mind. "Master Stefflon?" a slightly panicked voice echoed from behind him. "Oh?" looking over his shoulders, James noticed a fidgeting figure standing besides a rusty old pick-up truck. Surprisingly the fidgety figure was actually the lead Thug hired by Sebastian to bully his mother and drive her out from Atlas City. However currently th

    "You!!" upon hearing Diego's slanderous accusations, the scrawny staff immediately shot James a sharp glare. "Is Mr. Sebastian speaking the truth?! you better answer me truthfully!" James scoffed. From the current reaction he was getting from the other party, nothing he would say will hold any tangible weight. The other party was obviously trying to curry some favors with Diego's family so he was more or less guilty in the perspective of the scrawny staff member. "Mr. Ian. You shouldn't lose your cool. If this kitchen boy is as guilty then perhaps you need to resolve this in a more.. private location?" Diego shamelessly tried playing peacemaker. "I apologize" Mr. Ian gave James another sharp look as he made a grabbing motion towards his shoulders. However James easily stepped back, causing the other party to grab empty air. His actions infuriated Mr. Ian even more. "You cheeky bastard! what do you think you are doing?!" The charitable Mr. Sebastian is obviously trying to give

    Diego and Becca had just stepped into the first floor of Six Serenades Restaurant, when their taste buds began to water, thanks to the fragrant smell that hung in the air. Diego was in the midst of scanning the place to find an empty table when his brows suddenly shot up in unexpected surprise. "Honey, isn't that your ex husband?" his lips curved. "Huh?" Becca's eyes trailed over where Diego was looking at and her heart nearly skipped a bit. Currently, James and Charlotte were descending the stairs that led to the upper floor of the restaurant, enamored in a quiet conversation amongst themselves. Every once in a while, James would say something funny, causing Charlotte to release a peal of laughter that sounded pleasing to the ears. Seeing James being so cozy with another woman, Becca found her heart drumming loudly and a strange ache began to appear. "I-- let's leave them.." she forced herself not to show too much emotions. She was now married to a high socialite.. James was

    "This way Sir.. and miss..." under the direction of the restaurant staff, Diego and Becca were led into the lobby area of Six Serenades.. As a restaurant in a luxury estate like New Sensations villa, Six Serenades was a business establishment unlike any other outside of the villa. Not only did they offer high quality food, their customer service was top notch. To cater for the need of all customers, the restaurant was split into two segments.. Public and Private. The public area of the restaurant was located at the first floor and anybody could dine in there.. that was if they were loaded enough to pay the exorbitant price for the high quality food services. However the flagship feature of Six Serenade lied in its private themed services. By paying a certain amount of cash as a down payment, a customer would be given a private card. With this card, they could dine within the many countless private rooms located at the upper floor of the establishment. According to rumors, there

    New Sensations villa was one of the top industrialized urban estates within Atlas City. As business hub, the city was the home base of many top companies and with the high rate of real estate development, the city lacked that much rural areas, with plans made to develop the few rural areas remaining. However there was a clear distinction between these industrialized areas in the city and New Sensations villa ranked at the the top of the ladder. Although this estate had only been publicly completed about two years ago, it only took three months for almost half of their units to be sold. The PR was crazy and at a certain point in time, it was the hottest topic to discuss. At that time, owning a unit within New Sensations villa was a sign of superior status.. hell, even the City's Mayor owned one. However for those who owned a property, they were all convinced that the PR around the estate wasn't exaggerated. That was because everything within the estate screamed of high class luxury
