CHAPTER NINE: Small World
[MISS LOVETH HALLFIELD TO ENGAGE MISTER MICHAEL WHEELER IN SIX MONTH. ENGAGEMENT TAKES PLACE AFTER THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO FAMILY IS SETTLED].Dean felt a notch tighten in his heart. He couldn't believe it. This was too fast, way too fast. Barely a month after tossing him and their daughter out of the family, without even signing divorce papers. Did they really that lowly of him? Did they really not regard him nor his feelings at all?Just then, the system which has been silence for a while suddenly sent a notification.«Ding!Chain Quest Initiated:#1: Gain up to 50% fame in six months.#2: Build or buy more than one establishment within six months.#3: Go crash the party in style and make them regret their actions.#4: Do not buckle under pressure and keep them in your control.Reward: Reward us given after chain quest is complete.Failure: -$5 billion & -50% fame (made a laughing stock)».Dean read through the chain quest. “It seems even the system is pissed at my situation
CHAPTER EIGHT: Clarice Woods
“Well, well, well.. fancy seeing you here. I heard you got yourself into an accident. Shouldn't you be at home recuperating or something?”Clinton Mercedes said with a smile on his face.Seeing the scowl on Dean's face and the fire literally blazing in his eyes, Clinton smirked, “Ouch! You wound me with that death stare of yours, here I am showing concern for you, while you stare at me that way.. Eden, how you wound me..” Clinton then chuckled. It was evident he wasn't taking Dean seriously.“If you're through, I suggest you leave. I have no time to indulge in the barking of a dog.” Dean said, his voice dripping with hate.This statement of his caused a shift in the airflow, and even Philip who was behind him shifted uncomfortably. For a few seconds, no one said anything.. then Clinton burst out laughing. He laughed for a while before his expression turned serious.“Mister Eden. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! No one has ever spoken to me in such a manner.” A smile suddenly returned to his face, “You
CHAPTER SEVEN: Arrogance
ROSY SILK RESTAURANT & HOTELThree black SUVs pulled up in front of a four story building. Eleven men stepped out from the cars. Ten of them were on black suits and black aviator glasses, while the other man was in a blue Italian suit. They all walked into the building with their heads raised high.A few minutes later. In the lobby, a crowd of people were standing in front of the young man in a blue suit, while he was seated on a soft office chair, going through a file he was holding. One chef, one sous chef, ten cooks, a dozen waiters and waitresses, two porters, two receptionists, two dozen housekeepers, about two concierge, a spa manager, an event planner, a food manager, two bellhops, two laundry staff, and a maintenance technician. Dean realized there was more than sixty employees currently standing in front of him.. a bit of a stretch, but he will go with them for now, and employ more when the time comes.“I am Eden Wealth, and I am the new owner of this establishment.” Dean sai
CHAPTER SIX: The Accident
Dean walked out of the auction hall with the deed of the restaurant tucked inside his pocket. Just as he was about getting into his car, he saw a young man walking towards him.“You must be the bidder from 307.” He said.“And what's it to you?” Dean replied. His tone was dripping with hate. He couldn't control his emotions. Just knowing that the man standing in front of him was from the same family that caused his mother's suffering, Dean was filled with hatred and murderous intent.“Why that expression? Chill. I'm just here to congratulate you.” Clinton said with a smile. “I'd be going if I was you, there are a few people who may want to snatch that deed from you.” He chuckled and left.Dean stood there for a few seconds, then entered his car and placed his daughter in the carrier. He had earned a billion dollars from the system's 10× rebate for spending a hundred million. But he knew he had barely scratched the surface of being on par with any of his enemies. Money alone doesn't ma
CHAPTER FIVE: Clinton Mercedes
ALERION CITY. SCVEN AUCTION HOUSE [ONE WEEK LATER]A blue BMW X7 stopped in front a huge mansion. The chauffeur rushed to the passenger door and opened it. A young man, handsome to a fault, in his late twenties, stepped out from the passenger seat. He was carrying a toddler in his arms.“Mister Eden, Sir.” The chauffeur said respectfully while giving a low bow. The young man nodded in approval and walked into the mansion. He went straight to the receptionist counter.“Good evening Sir, and welcome to the Scven Auction House. How may I help you?” The female receptionist said while flashing a smile that seemed more seductive than professional.“I'm here for the auction, can you get me a room?” The young man said.“That won't be a problem Sir. We have four categories in store. Low-tier rooms, which cost five thousand. We have mid-tier rooms which cost ten thousand. We have the high-tier rooms which cost twenty-five thousand.” She said.“You said four.. what about the last one?” The young
CHAPTER FOUR: The Party
CASTLEVANIA DE BYERSThis was the place the rich came to party, and this was exactly the place the Wheelers held their party.“Mister Wheeler! Mister Wheeler! Joyce Byers from the Hollies Bugle. Is it true that you're still in love with Loveth Hallfield, which is why you still haven't secured a stable relationship in your love life yet?”Michael stared at the young lady for a while, thinking of exactly how best to answer, but just then, a commotion occured..“Miss Hallfield! Miss Hallfield!” Reporters clamored to secure an interview with the new arrivals.Michael turned around, and behind him was the Hallfield family, but Johnathan Agnes seemed more like background characters to the one person in the middle; Loveth. Dressed in an emerald silk evening gown with an off-shoulder neckline and a small thigh-high slit. A diamond tennis bracelet and a small stud earrings to match her slim platinum necklace.. in a short sentence, she was dressed to kill.“Hello Michael.. missed me?” Loveth sa
