Chapter 40: All The Food On This Table Is On Me
Several people turned towards the entrance. When they saw Oscar, they immediately began whispering.“Is that really Oscar?”“I haven't seen him in ages.”“Of course it's him. Who else would it be?” Gideon laughed, “I honestly didn't think you'd come. I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face around people like us.”Oscar ignored him and walked towards the table.Godwin frowned. “Why don't you leave him alone? We're all going through the same famine. What exactly is so funny?”Gideon scoffed.“The same famine? Don't compare us to him. Some of us still have connections, while others have nothing.”“Really?” Chisel asked. “And what makes you so special?”A young woman sitting nearby laughed.“Come on, Chisel. Don't pretend you don't know about Oscar. Everyone knows you and Godwin used to bring him food. I've even seen Chantel bringing food to him too!”The woman was Valerie. She glanced at Oscar with an amused expression.“Honestly, I sometimes wonder how he survives. If not f
Chapter 39: Some Dude Called Charles John
“Who is this man?”Godwin, one of Oscar's friends, looked at the stranger standing in their living room and asked. “Father, have you seen him before?”Mr. Baltimore shook his head. “No. I've never seen him before.”Godwin looked at the stranger again. He had never seen this man in their neighbourhood, and he wondered why he had suddenly come looking for his father.The stranger was tall and handsome, with blonde hair and fair skin. However, his clothes were dirty and torn, and his shoes were covered in dust. He looked like someone who had travelled a long distance.“Are you Mr Baltimore?” the stranger had asked when he arrived.“Yes, I am. Who are you and how may I help you?” Baltimore had replied.“My name is Charles. Could I have a private word with you?”Baltimore had agreed, so Godwin and his siblings excused themselves. Still, Godwin stayed behind the door, peeking through the gap because he was curious about the stranger's identity.“Please, have a seat,” Baltimore said.“Thank
Chapter 38: A Useless Son & The Other Son (3)
“What if Oscar Kingston can provide what the government cannot?” Charles continued. “What if he can give them food when our warehouses are empty? What if he can bring rain when our weather experts have no answers? What if he can persuade them that a mysterious god is more powerful than the government?”He leaned forward. “Do you know what happens to my political ambitions then?”Gideon said nothing. He didn't know anything at politics.“My opponents will use him against me. Senator Kimberly will claim him and try to make up a narrative. The citizens will stop looking to my side of government for help, and I will lose the very influence I have spent years building.”Charles's expression hardened. “I will not allow that to happen.”For the first time since entering the room, Gideon seemed to understand the full extent of his father's concern.This was no longer merely about gathering information from starving citizens. It was about control. Even the government was divided.Charles want

Charles's expression darkened.“Oscar Kingston?”“Yes, Father. He's the one people keep mentioning. But I know him. He's nothing special!”Gideon straightened slightly, like the opportunity to discredit Oscar might finally restore his father's confidence in him.“He was an ordinary student in college. He wasn't particularly intelligent and he had nothing going for him. His parents died when he was young and poor, and he inherited nothing that could make him influential. I don't understand why people are suddenly making up stories about him.”Charles watched him with a cold expression, then asked, “You know him personally?”“Not exactly, but I know the sort of person he is. He's the poorest of the poorest man, father. He has somehow managed to attract attention. That's all. The whole thing about communicating with a god is a lie! The rain was probably a natural occurrence, and the people have exaggerated everything because they're desperate.”Gideon shook his head dismissively. “That s
Chapter 36: A Useless Son & The Other Son
“Useless! You’re useless!”A bottle flew across the room and smashed against the wall, scattering glass across the polished floor.The man responsible barely glanced at the mess. He snatched an umbrella from beside his desk and hurled it towards the door.“Useless! Absolutely useless!”The umbrella struck the door and fell to the floor.A knock sounded from the other side.The man turned sharply, his chest rising and falling with anger.“Come in!”The door opened slightly, but before the person outside could step inside, another object came flying through the air.This time, it was a telephone and the heavy device struck the visitor on the forehead.“Ah!”The man staggered backwards, clutching his head as blood began to trickle between his fingers.“HOW USELESS CAN YOU BE, GIDEON?” The man behind the desk pointed at him furiously, “I gave you one simple assignment! One! And you couldn't even do it properly!”The visitor slowly raised his head.It was Gideon Walker, the husband of Char
Chapter 35: The Beginning of an Empire (4)
The villagers stared at the sky in horror and amazement at the same time, as more large grains of rice fell around them.Oscar's mouth twitched as he looked at the result. He had only dropped ten grains of cooked rice."Well, I did try to drop them into your hand," he muttered. "But I guess I missed."He leaned closer."Are you still alive, Cedric?"For several seconds, there was no movement. Then Cedric's hand struck up from under one of the gigantic grains.His companions immediately rushed over to help him."¡Señor Alvarez!""¡Responda!"They pushed against the soft white object covering him, trying to uncover his body. To their surprise, the object was very soft in their hands. It wasn't a rock or some strange meteorite. It was soft.One of the men stared at it, then cautiously touched it with his fingers."¿Qué es esto?"He lifted a small portion towards his mouth. The moment he tasted it, his eyes widened."¡Es arroz!"Cedric heard him and immediately began pushing the rice away
