CASTLEVANIA DE BYERS

This 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 said in a small coy voice. She then slid her hand into his. This gesture alone surprised Michael, but he didn't let it show on his face, he simply played along.

“Yes darling, I was wondering when you'll show up.” Michael said with a smile, but his tone had a bit of an off in it.

“HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!” The young reporter shouted in amazement.

“Yeah, we're a match made in heaven, you don't need to be so shocked.” Loveth said with a smile, but to her surprise, the reporter actually shoved her aside and pointed behind them, “Not you, who the hell is that??”

Michael and Loveth turned around at the same time, and what they saw was beyond their expectations..

A shiny silver bodied McLaren stood there, and not just any McLaren, but a McLaren Elva that its cost was not less than two million.. it had gold lines along the sides, with golden wheels, there was no roof or normal windshield, just two seats and dark rich leather inside. But that wasn't what made them both look like they'd seen a ghost, it was actually the person alighting from the car; Wearing an expensive blue Italian suit that fits him perfectly, that shone softly under the lights. His shoes matched the suit, polished and equally expensive. His hair was neat, and his smile showed confidence. In a short sentence, everything about him looked stylish, calm and very very wealthy.. like someone who was already used to luxury and attention.. this was

Dean Weatherman.

Dean walked towards Loveth, he had this confident smile that made ladies want to swoon around him.

“Hello wife, did you miss me?” Dean said with a smile still on his face.

That statement alone made the reporters go into a frenzy.

“Miss Hallfield is married?”

“And to a rich handsome man?”

“I heard something like this some time ago!”

Meanwhile, Dean stretched out his hand towards Loveth with a smile still on his face, “Shall we my love?”

Loveth was still bamboozled by the scene that had just played out in front of her. She unconsciously placed her hand on his..

At that moment, the system sent a message to Dean..

«Ding!

Congratulations to host on completing the Quest.

Host has been rewarded with 10× rebate on any amount he spends from now on.»

Dean led Loveth inside the party hall. Meanwhile Loveth’s mind was in disarray. She still couldn't get her mind around the fact that Dean, poor penniless Dean, had just driven a McLaren Elva to the party, dressed like a rich heir. She turned to him again; his neat suit couldn't be a knockoff, no knockoff was this good, so that meant it was an original Armani, and his hair? Combed and gelled to the back. His skin had a bit of glow, which showed that he had been to the spar before coming. Now the one zillion dollar question was; where the hell did he get the money for all these? Had he been working in secret all these time? No, even if he was, no job will earn him this kind of money in just a year.. did he sell his mini-restaurant then? No, he already sold the moment they got married as he was pressured by her parents to do so.

“Who’s that with our daughter, that's definitely not Michael Wheeler.” Agnes asked her husband. They had gone ahead into hall to give Loveth time and space to familiarize with Michael.. but now, she was walking inside the hall with a somewhat familiar man.

“That man looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen him before.” Johnathan said as he squinted his eyes to get a better look, but he didn't have to, he could see that Loveth and the man were actually coming over.

“Hello Mother, hello Father.” Dean said as soon as he reached them.

“DEAN!!!” They both uttered at the same time.. the shock was evident in the shout.

“Yes.” Dean replied with a smile.

“What are you doing here?” Agnes asked as her brows creased in a frown.

“I couldn't bear the thought of my wife being alone at the party, so I decided to attend as well.” Dean replied with smile still on his face.

“Where did you get that suit, boy? Don't tell me you've sold off your daughter to rent that suit?” Johnathan said, although the tone made it seem like a joke, but his expression was anything but that.

“Its not what you think, Father.” Dean shook his head.

“It doesn't matter what we think, because right now you MUST leave. Your presence here will disrupt everything we're working hard to get.” Agnes said and even tried to shove Dean aside.

“I'm sorry Mother, but I can't. Loveth is my wife and I can't leave her here alone, what sort of husband will that make me?” Dean replied with a righteous expression.

“Where are you getting your courage boy? Do you believe I will throw you out into the street along with child of yours?” Johnathan said. He knew if there's one thing Dean cared most, it was the child he had with Loveth.

“I'll leave Father, but Loveth will have to come with me.” Dean said in a firm voice.

At that moment, Michael walked by, he glanced at them with a cold expression on his face and kept on walking towards the raised platform. That was when Loveth and her parents knew.. at that moment.. they were fucked.

  • CHAPTER 176. Home Again

    The pillar of golden light grew brighter and brighter until Dean could no longer distinguish where the light ended and where he began. It was warm, peaceful, and strangely familiar. It reminded him of the warmth he used to feel whenever his mother tucked him into bed after a long day at the little restaurant. It reminded him of the day his daughter had hugged him after he rescued her from the kidnappers. It reminded him that, after every storm, there was always a place called home.Aura's calm voice echoed one last time.Return Sequence Complete.Goodbye... Keeper.Dean smiled faintly."Goodbye...

  • Chapter 174. A New Beginning

    The light slowly faded.Dean stood alone in the endless white space where the Keeper had disappeared. For a long moment, he simply stared at the spot where the old man had been standing. There was no farewell beyond those final words. No dramatic exit. No final handshake. Just silence.Dean let out a slow breath."So... this is really goodbye."No one answered.Yet strangely, he didn't feel abandoned.Instead, he felt... trusted.The responsibility that now rested on his shoulders was heavier than anything the Wealth System had ever asked of him before.

    The question lingered in the endless white space.Neither Dean nor the Keeper spoke.The silence wasn't uncomfortable. It was patient, as though the world itself was willing to wait until Dean found an answer that truly belonged to him.Dean lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the empty ground beneath him."If everything the Wealth System has given you were taken away..."The Keeper's words echoed again in his mind."The money.""The companies.""The fame.""The influence.""The power.""If all of it disappeared...""Who would you be?"Dean let out a slow breath."When I first awakened the Wealth System..." he finally began, "...I would have answered differently."The Keeper remained silent.Dean continued."I would have said I'd become nothing."He gave a small, bitter smile."Because that was exactly how I saw myself."He slowly looked up."I was a live-in son-in-law who couldn't even protect his own dignity."Images flashed through his mind.Kathleen throwing insults at him.The Ha
