Her blonde ponytail har framed her face as she sat quickly at a table, as her finger fiddled nervously with the hem of her sleeve.He wasn’t mistaken, it was her. Although she hadn't revealed her face.Across from her sat another girl, who seemed much more talkative, gesturing as she spoke.Maximus exhaled, his lips pressing into a neutral line not which action to take now.They had been texteing on and off, noting too deep, but enough that he knew she was the shy type.And just then, as if somehow sensing his gaze, she turned.The moment her blue eyes landed on him,her expression changed.A flicker of surpirse, then something softer- that signature shyness of hers.Her fingers immediately went to her lap, her shooulders hunching slightly. She didn’t lood away immediately, though. It was as if she was waiting for some kind of response.Maximus, ever composed and calm, simply gave a slight wave, nothing too dramatic, just a sign that he acknowledged her prescence.Lilys face turned sli

Maximus stepped onto the gravel path, the crushing sound of the gravel underneath his boots filled the air as he followed Zack toward the open stretch of land.The sun was high up in the air, casting a golden light over the horizon and a warm breeze drifted in from the distance.He could already smell the faint traces of salt in the air, meaning that the ocean wasn’t far from their current position.His gaze swept over the luxurious expanse before them. It was better than he had expected.The resort was in progress, standing proudly atop the land, already taking magnificent shape.From what he could see, most of the structure was complete, a grand main building that had a generous touch of modern elegance, tall windows reflecting the bright sky.Several smaller private villas dotted the landscape, their terraces facing what he assumed would be an artificial lagoon or private pool area.And just beyond: a pristine, untouched beach.Maximus let out a low whistle, he was utterly impresse

It was 10:43 PM.Joe Hart's building complex gleamed with ambition. Glass, steel, neon blue edge lights that screamed power.Maximus stepped off the bike and marched straight toward the entrance, three security guards in tailored suits intercepted him immediately.“Sir, no visitation are allowed at this time, unless you have and appointment.”“I don’t want one,” Maximus said coldly. “Joe hart owes me thirty million dollars. He's collecting rent off a property that is technically still mine, without paying me a dime.”One of the guards laughed. “Right. You'll need to take that up with his legal team, now step back.”From the balcony above, Joe Hart and Keith Hall leaned against the rails like smug kings on their thrones.They descended slowly, their suits pristine and their expressions dripping with mockery.“Maximus Prime,” Joe called, chuckling. “You really came all the way here for that chump change?”Keith grinned beside him. “Didn’t think you'd be so sentimental about pocket money

Maximus picked up his coffee absent mindedly before continuing to speak, “I’ll look through the numbers, and then we’ll talk ownership stakes. If it makes sense, we will move forward. If not, I might just start a resort of my own.”Zack whistled softly. “Damn, you really don’t play around do you?”Maximus dropped the cup of coffee back on the table. “Not when it comes to money, and time is money…”Zack chuckled, shaking his head. “Alright, I'll send you everything tonight. We'll talk again after you've gone through it.”Maximus nodded, standing up. “Sounds good Zaccheus…”They shook hands, sealing the deal. As Maximus walked out of the club and toward his bike, he knew the Investment God System would have a thing or two to say about the deal he just agreed to. He didn’t check it yet as he already knew what it was going to be about: Consequence of his decision.But Maximus wasn’t worried, he had a plan.“I always do…” he mused as he reached into his pocket, pulling leather gloves from

“A resort?” Maximus asked with a slight tilt of his head. Intrigue building up inside of him.“Yeah,” Zack said, his eyes lighting up upon seeing Maximus visibly interested. “Imagine it, a luxrury destination with everything you could think of. Top tier accomodadtions, dining, pools, spas, night life, you name it. A place where people can come to relax and let loose and have anunforgettable experience like non other… memories, families, couples, bonds! Think about it!”“Sounds… ambitious,” Maximus said, though he couldn’t dent the appeal of the idea.“Of course! It is very much ambitious,” Zack admitted. “but I've got the vision. And I have been researching locations, sketching out concepts, even talking to a few architects about where would be a suitable place in all of Central City. All I need right now is someone who can make this a reality.”Maximus released a slight frown, his fingers drumming against the bar. “And you think I am a suitable fit to make that a reality?”“Why not?”
Chapter 17
The next morning, Maximus woke up to the soft glow of sunlight streaming through the floor to ceiling windows of his bedroom.After a quick shower, he dressed casually in a crips black shirt and jeans. It was a simple look, but the quality of the clothes were more than the common man could afford.Grabbing his keys and sleek, futuristic helmet, he headed out to his power bike packed in the garage.The engine roared to life as he mounted it, the vibrations beneath him a satisfying reminder of the power it held.Maximus pulled up to the clubs entrance on his motorcycle, the engines deep rumble echoing in the queit midday atmosphere.The elegant valet personel stepped forward with a polite nod, his hands outstretched.Maximus handed over the keys and swung his leg off the bike, taking a moment to glance at the buildings sleek exterior.Even in the daylight, the club exuded the same aura as of the previous night but was dialed down several volumes. Stepping inside, a hostess greeted him
