ANDREW

While they continued to watch, the video stopped at a man's legs and stopped.

"Shit. It stopped already." Juliet snorted angrily seeing what had happened.

She wanted to smash her phone to the floor. But she thought twice. That was a new mid range phone that had been gotten for her by Francis.

It was worth about five hundred dollars. If she smashed it, he would certainly not be pleased and might have to stay without a cell phone for a while.

When she was about to end the video, seeing that there was nothing much for them to watch anymore.

But before she could end it, Kelvin, who had noticed something, stopped her from doing so.

"That shoe. Isn't it owned by Andrew? And those pants too. I am so sure of it." She said,

"Andrew? Are you sure that you are not making a mistake?" Lady Gaga also stepped forward to see for herself.

It looked like her son was telling the truth after all. She was certainly taken aback by it.

"What would Andrew be doing there at that time?" She thought aloud.

None of them had thought that Andrew might at even be the person that Mr. Hills was kneeling before.

It was a thought that was never going to cross through their minds in the first place.

"Aunt Gaga, didn't you say that he was going to catch his daughter at the hospital earlier?"

"Oh yes Juliet, why didn't I even think of it in the first place."

"I think that this is our opportunity, if Andrew was there, then he has to have some information about this person. Not like he would have any option but to give us an answer anyways."

Andrew had already gotten everything that he was going to need and he soon closed the message.

At the moment, he thought about his wife, he had to tell her that they would not have to worry about Dora's hospital bills any more.

He stepped off from the room. Lisa was supposed to be around already but he didn't seem to pick out her voice anywhere.

Eventually, he stepped out from the room and met with four hot piercing gazes and a new one too.

Looking at them, he could see that there was hatred written all over it. The excitement that was rising in the inside of them soon dropped almost instantly and was now replaced with spite.

"Not the jobless fool." Kelvin said aloud angrily.

At this point, he almost burst out into laughter. He was already a Trillionaire at the moment so why should he be hurt by such words.

He thought about the fact that even with the way that his parents were trying to push him, Kelvin was also one jobless fellow.

His eyes sped off somewhere and he could see a new face that he had never seen before but had heard a lot about her.

She was Juliet, his wife's cousin, who was coming to pay them a visit.

"Andrew?" Lady Gaga snorted at him angrily with her hatred rising in her.

"At first, I thought that there was no one in the room but it turned out that you had been around all these while?

You knew that my nephew was going to be coming and you didn't cook? Look how dirty the place is looking." She glared angrily at him

Meanwhile, Juliet was throwing Lazer glares at him. Of course he had already known that this person was going to be one broke ass but never expected that he was going to turn out this broke.

"Auntie. It turns out that he is more terrible looking than I thought. Why would my cousin stoop so low to be with such a limping dog?" She said with spite in her voice.

"This person would barely be able to take care of her and maintain her beauty," She added.

As she spoke, she flashed all the accessories that were laced all over her body. Revealing the Jews and the glittering diamonds.

"My fiance, Francis who worked at the Central co limited got all of this for me but take a good look at him, I am sure that he can barely afford all of this." Juliet bragged.

Lady Gaga's eyes lit up after seeing all the Jews that she had on her body. As the lady that she was, she wanted to snatch those away from her nephew.

She was only able to save herself due to the fact that the both of them were related already.

"That's why he has to get divorced with Lisa so that we can get someone better for her, she doesn’t deserve this loser." She emphasized the words as she spoke.

"Someone that's as powerful to make the Hills family kneel down before us." Kelvin smiled as he remembered the video.

At the moment, it struck Lady Gaga that she wanted to ask Andrew a question in the first place and she forged ahead filled with disdain.

"You were there at the event that happened at the hospital weren't you? So tell me, who was the young man that was able to make Mr. Hills kneel before him? That's going to be the best candidate when you and Lisa finally get divorced.".

Hearing these words, Andrew was more stunned than annoyed. From what he could remember, the news of it must not have gotten to them so fast. And how did they even know that he was there?

He had not gotten the full details about what was going on from Mr. Patrick just yet so what was he going to tell them at this moment?

He drew a deep breath not knowing what he was going to say at the moment.

"Don't even dare to lie to us." Juliet glared at him.

"We already saw the video that was recorded by someone and we recognized those clothes of yours so you better start spilling off the truth right now."

Andrew realized where they could have gotten a hold of that from. He scratched his head slightly, trying to keep the most natural looks and he said.

"Oh that. Sure I was there. I went to negotiate with the doctor about Dora when everything happened. The mysterious stranger however was not anyone in rank in this city and also not from here." He explained.

Everyone frowned after they heard these words and their faces shifted away in disgust.

They had thought that at least, Andrew was going to be useful for once and have information about what had happened.

But it looked like he was just as useless as ever.

"How pathetic. I should have known how useless you are already and not have asked you any of this." Lady Gaga said with a pained voice.

"We are just so unlucky to have him in our lives at the moment." Kelvin said.

It was at this point that Juliet stepped forward with a smile on her face. If their first plan didn't work out, she already had others in mind.

Lady Gaga immediately saw the sinister smile that was her face and knew instantly that she was up to something.

"What are you up to Juliet?" She inquired with a smile on her face.

"My Francis told me that a few days from now, there will be a party for the most influential people in the city. If Lisa is able to attend the party, I am definitely sure that there is one person that would gain interest with her and when she finds someone that is rich and handsome, I am sure that she is going to forget that she even has a husband and a kid behind."

"That's so great Juliet. You don't really know what you are doing for this family and you are going to make sure that you are heavily rewarded once everything pays out." Lady Gaga said.

"Yes. I will get you the best present in all of the city for your wedding with Francis." Mr. Henry added.

"At least, Francis is so great and he is someone that I would love to become like. Unlike that fool." Kelvin said.

"At least start by taking a job and being serious with your life Instead of filling that stomach of yours with all sorts of wine." Andrew didn't say the words aloud so that he would not cause a stir.

They continued to speak. Most of which consisted of harsh words that were directed towards Andrew.

There was a smile on everyone's face while for the first time, a frown hovered on that of Andrew.

They were speaking as though he wasn't the one that was standing right before them at the moment and that was enough to piss him off.

"Let's see how that's going to happen." Andrew wanted to make a quiet statement but the walls had echoed his words.

Everyone turned to him with the looks of disdain on their faces.

"Ha. Stop a party that all the influential people are going to be attending? You are such a joke aren't you?" Lady Gaga snorted.

"How do you think that you are going to be allowed in there in the first place?"

"Even though you were allowed? Do you think that you will even be up to par with anyone?" Another one of them said.

It was at this point the clock clicked seven o'clock. It rang in Andrew's ears for quite a while and he was already getting worried.

It was already seven o'clock and yet, Lisa was still around. She could be late at times but then, not this late.

It was at this point that he was forced to inquire.

"What Lisa? Why isn't she around yet?" Andrew inquired with worries clearly on his face.

"Ha!" Lady Gaga snorted.

"Are you really the one asking that question when you left your daughter out in the hospital to die? Isn't it obvious that she is planning to get the money for her treatment by any means possible?"

His heart almost seized after he heard these words.

"By any means possible huh? Just what was Lisa planning to do to get five hundred thousand to save their daughter?"

    The gates to the dungeon were opened up immediately, and Diego made his way into the dungeon, the man trailing behind him. "I have no idea how you got out of the dungeon, but get prepared to meet your end!" Diego said as a smile played across his face. Andrew struggled to get up from the floor but fell back onto the floor, his knees giving up under him. Blood was sprawling from every part of his face; some got into his eyes, blinding him from seeing who was in front of him. "You!" Andrew pointed wearily at Diego, "I'm so.... going to...kill you!" Diego let out a dangerous laugh that only lasted for a brief moment. "I'd like to see you try!" Diego let out in mockery and stretched forth his hand at Andrew. All of a sudden, Andrew felt himself being lifted off the floor by a strange force. "Now I'm going to show you the true taste of power!" Diego said with a smirk on his face. Andrew was already feet above the floor. He was flaring his arms and legs in the air, shouting at the t

    —Get ready for your ultimate task, master— Valkyron's electronic voice boomed; this time, itsscreen was not hovering in front of Andrew and emanating a blue light as usual.. Instead it was iitsovoicethat was resounding from every angle. "What do you mean, Valkyron ,and how....how did i get here?"Andrew asked as he turned around, trying to make out where he was. This did not look like any of the rooms in Andrew's mansion; it looked more like he was in a desert, and he wondered how he had gotten there. He could hear multiple voices around him as if he was standing in front of a crowd that was waiting for him to perform, but he couldn't see anyone around him even when he looked into the distance. He tried to pinch himself to be sure that this was not a dream—it wasn't. —Focus, master. Now that your parents are awake, you have unlocked the second phase of your mission, which begins now, the ultimate test that you're about to face will determine if you're worthy of your powers and all

    A few weeks later, Andrew's parents were well enough to be discharged from the hospital, and Andrew could not have been more glad. He threw a party on their return—the party only included himself, his parents, his immediate family, the house workers, and Pa Jones. Since he had not yet revealed himself to the others; his friends, and office workers about his return, no one esle had been invited to the party. Andrew felt his life was complete again; he was almost the richest man in the country, and his parents, who he thought had died, were alive and well. It was a swell moment for him. Lisa was the one who was growing increasingly worried that Andrew was now staying back from the office and avoiding contact with everyone else. Poor Patrick had been to the house several times to check up on her. Lisa couldn't tell why, but Andrew had instructed that she should not let him know that Andrew had returned, and each time Patrick left the house with a sad look on his face, she would ask A

    Andrew had failed to recover his car from the ice cream shop. He Would have taken up the issue concerning his stolen car, but the car was the least of his problems now, and he had all the money to replace the car he needed.

He was glad that Lisa had patiently listened to him when he took his time to explain That people were onto him, And they would stop at nothing to make sure that, they saw Andrew suffer, and she had to be grateful that he had found their daughter and rescued her just in time before those men got away. He hadn't given her the full details of the story, just the necessary parts, and debunked every other thing that Dora had said. When Lisa confronted him about what Dora had said about him having superpowers, he laughed about it, making the laugh so real, and deep down, he was only passing time and thinking of what to say that would sound convincing enough. "Would you believe that?!" Andrew said after

    Emilia ran her eyes over both men before she responded. "Yes, Diego is in, and do you wish to see him?!" Emilia asked back. "No, no, I do not want to see Diego; I was just making sure.""Okay but who are you two?!" Emilia asked them with question gazes. "Um, my name is Reginald, and I know that I can confide in you, Emilia. So please tell me, Is Mr Genius here?!"Emilia continued to stare at both of them for a while before she responded. "I don't think there's anyone that bears that name in this place. " She said plainly. "Is there anyone who bears Mr Andrew here?!" Reginald asked, rephrasing his sentence. Emilia tried to hide the look that she had made when Reginald mentioned Andrew's name. "No, there's no one that bears that name here either!" She said promptly and tried to dismiss both of them. "I think you too should leave now or haven't I answered all your questions?!""Please do not raise your voice, Emelia!" Reginald pleaded as he looked around, hoping that they would no

    Andrew was already making arrangements to get his parents moved to a better hospital that was just a minute's drive away from his house, and in no time, parents had been transferred, all thanks to Pa Jones help, who had assisted in filling out all the paperwork that was necessary for making the transfer. Andrew had made sure that he had sorted out all the hospital bills where his parents had been and thanked them heartily before leaving. It was not until dusk when his parents had been settled into the new hospital before Andrew remembered that he had not yet retrieved his car from the ice cream shop. "Darn it! How can I be this forgetful these days?" Andrew lamented to himself. He knew going back to get the car would be a lost cause because already the car would have been stolen because he had kept the key to the car carelessly for any lucky thief to find. "What's the matter young chap?" Pa Jones, who had noticed the change in Andrew, could not help himself but ask. "My car. I w
