The next morning.

Jake suddenly woke up from sleep.

[What happened?] The system asked, yawning as if to mimic something Jake should have done. [You look like you’ve seen a ghost.]

Jake wiped the sweat off his face.

“Just had a bad dream.”

[How bad was it?]

“I was working in Blake’s, and my new girlfriend, whose face I couldn’t see, came to the shop with her friends, but she was too embarrassed to tell her friends that I was her boyfriend. The whole interaction gave me chills.

“What if it happens in real life? What if my future wife makes fun of me for having a honest job? Do I really have to become a CEO to avoid such a fate? But not all can be CEOs.”

Just then, Jake received a new mission.

[Become the CEO of a reputed company. The faster you do it, the greater the reward!]

“Huh?” Jake blinked a few times. “You’re kidding me, right? Becoming a CEO doesn’t guarantee that I’ll get a wife who appreciates what I do.”

[But the chances of her appreciating your work will definitely improve.]

    Benson was a good-looking man in his young age, but then he started losing his hair. He tried using wigs, but he didn’t like them.He didn’t transplant any hair as he only liked natural hair.He hated fake hair, especially anybody who was insecure enough about their own hair and loved putting on wigs instead or some other insignificant, ugly thing to cover their flaws.So, the moment Benson entered the salon, his eyes were on the heads of the employees, making sure that nobody was wearing a wig.He spotted one black woman. “You… come over here.”The girl scuttled over to him.Benson pulled her hair without any hesitation.And the wig came off.“What’s this?” Benson asked. “Don’t you know that a wig is not allowed in my salons?”The female worker lowered her head.Benson’s gaze shifted to Carter, who looked like he stepped on shit. “Fire this woman, Manager.”“Y-Yes, Boss. I will fire her right away,” Carter quickly said.“And you won’t get this month’s salary, either,” Benson added, m

    “Won’t happen, you say…” Benson’s expression turned serious. “What if it does happen?”Carter’s heart started racing very much. (Shit. This idiot Jake is overacting. At this rate, I might lose my job!)“When strong wind blows, even giant trees will fall to the ground,” Jake replied. “So, how can you expect your hair to not move around?”Carter nearly pissed his pants because Jake’s response was so aggressive. (It’s over. I lost my job. My wife will fucking leave me for sure!)“Hahaha,” Benson laughed out loudly.“Mm?” Carter didn’t expect such a response from Benson.“You’re right. No amount of gel can keep the wind from blowing the hair around,” Benson said and looked at Carter. “When did you hire this young man? I like him.”“Uh, only a few days back, sir,” Carter also showered a smile. “He’s so talented. Even Sir Brendon Conreid was impressed by this man’s delicate work.”“Mm,” Benson brought his expression back under control. “Somelike like you is too good to be in a place like th

    “Ten million revenue. Not this.“Twenty million revenue. Not this, either.“Fifteen million? Why the heck are all the companies earning in millions every year? Why aren’t any simple businesses not being shown online?“Or is it just that all businesses these days are earning in millions?“Or it’s just fake, in order to attract investors?”Just as he was losing his patience, Jake saw a company’s name. Better Biscuits.His expression changed greatly.“This is…”Jake checked the details of the company and saw that it was in a decline recently. “Its revenue has fallen to less than a million. Why hasn’t this been closed down yet?”Jake clenched his fist.“Should I buy this one?”After thinking about it, he decided to buy it.Without wasting time, he went to the bank and withdrew a million dollars.After the check withdrawal was successful, he was relieved that Benson didn’t cheat him. “I was worried for nothing. A trillionaire like him would not cheat over a million dollars.”“Should I head

    At Better Biscuits factory.Melvyn Blake was talking with the chairman of the company. “I’ll buy this for 300K.”“Sorry, sir. 600K is the lowest I can come to,” the owner, an old lady replied.“Hmph, if the sales of your biscuits go down even more, then a few months later, you will come begging to me and ask me to buy it for 100K.”“If that’s my fate, then it will happen,” the old lady said. “If not, the sales might rise, and my company’s worth might cross a million dollars.”“I see. There’s no point in talking anymore,” Melvyn turned around and walked away.Something fell on his head.He stopped and touched his hair. There was a spider web in it.His face stiffened for a second.He angrily looked up. The ceiling was full of cobwebs. He turned around and looked at the chairman. “Who’s the cleaner of this place?”“It’s me, sir,” a man in his forties rushed over to Melvyn.Melvyn immediately slapped that man with the back of his hand.The cleaner spun twice and hit a machine and collaps

    Jake didn’t rush with buying the company even though the old couple rushed him.He toured throughout the factory and saw how things were happening. There were too many issues from hygiene to quality control.“How did you guys even get the approval to keep this factory running?” Jake asked them.“Our factory is much cleaner compared to other biscuit factories,” the old couple backed themselves.Jake shook his head. “I can’t buy this for 600K. 500K is the best I can give.”“500K is a little too low. How about 550K?” the old husband asked. His wife didn’t like it at first, but he convinced her.Jake thought about it. “Fine.”After that, Jake signed the deal. He wrote a check for 550K and handed it to the old couple.This was his first check.He never thought he’d ever use a check in his life, much less buy a company with his first check!Naturally, Jake was very happy.The old couple introduced Jake to the manager.“Hello, sir. My name is William,” the manager introduced himself.“I’ll g

    Melvyn went home.He was living in a 6o-floored tower, with a castle built on the top floor, which had an open pool, tennis court, organic garden, and much more facilities all around the castle.It was called the Sky Castle because the castle was in the sky, looking down on the rest of the city.Benson and his five daughters were all sitting at the dining table, waiting for Melvyn to join them.“Dad, since you love the haircut you got at my company,” Tessa was speaking excitedly, “why don’t you also reward me? I’m sure you paid the stylist, so you should reward me as well.”“Haha,” Benson laughed a little. “Alright. Ask away. What do you want?”“How about we go on a trip together?” Tessa asked.Her sisters laughed at it. “Dad gave you a big offer, and you want to squander it by just going on a trip with him?”“Or are you planning on revealing your real agenda during the trip?”Just then, Melvyn entered the hall.Seeing Benson’s new hairstyle, Melvyn smiled pleasantly. “My sisters were

    After two busy days, Tessa arrived at Blake's salon, only to find out from Carter that the person who styled her dad was none other than Jake.To her added shock, she learned something else.“He didn’t come to work after that?” Tessa was shocked.Carter, however, wasn’t. “To be frank, if I received a 1 million dollar reward, I wouldn’t be coming to work, either.”Tessa found herself biting her fingernail. “Jake Goodheart… What are you doing? If my brother finds you first, then you’re as good as dead!”She called Delma’s mobile immediately.“Hey, where are you right now? I need to talk to you about Jake,” Tessa said.“Tell me,” Delma was panting.“Are you running?”“Yeah, running in the sand right now,” Delma said. “It’s hurting my knees and ankles so much. I can’t talk for long so make it quick.”Tessa briefly explained what happened. “So, my brother is desperately looking for Jake. If he finds him, he’ll kill him without a second thought.”“You don’t have to worry about Jake because

    It’s been five days since Jake bought Better Biscuits.Only today, Jake finished the registration process, so he officially became the chairman and CEO of Better Biscuits.However, the employees were all afraid that they were going to lose their jobs.The manager asked Jake to throw a party to cool things down.Jake told him, “Do you want me to use my money to invest in the company, or for the welcome parties?”“Of course, for the former, sir.”“Good. But I do like parties,” Jake smiled. “Since I became the chairman, shouldn’t the employees be the ones who should hold a welcome party for me?”Manger William’s expression completely changed. “Y-You got a point, sir. But inflation is on rise these days. It will be difficult to make the employees donate money for a welcome party, I think.”“Tell them this then,” Jake said. “If the party satisfies me, I will not fire anybody for their past performances.”William was excited to hear that. “I think this could work, sir. You’re brilliant.”“H

    A few months later.Guests from all around the world arrived at Hamilton mansion, their laughter and chatter echoing like music through the opulent halls on this grand wedding day.Many of those who knew Elmond well paid their respects at his grave which was built in the backyard.Jake’s schoolmates were also arriving in helicopters arranged by the Hamilton family, and this genuinely made them proud to see how far Jake had come. They were greeted by soldiers wielding guns who shot at them, not with bullets but flowers.The flowers rained on the guests and rubbed their natural fragrance on them, making them feel like they were entering heaven.The honeyed wedding cake was as big as a swimming pool, and the pools weren’t filled with water but pristine wine.There were top professional photographers capturing images and videos, but there were also world-famous painters who were capturing the essence of the wedding with their speed drawings.The atmosphere around the whole 30,000 acres of

    The next day.Jake opened his eyes and found himself inside his guest room in the Hamilton mansion.He got up from the bed with effort.As he walked, he stopped by the mirror. He still looked like he weighed less than eighty pounds after he had received fluids and recovered overnight.This made him realize that he had really pushed himself to the limits during the fight with Melvyn.After taking a long, deep breath, Melvyn stepped out of the room.He could hear Prisha’s happy voice, saying how excited she was to get an admission into MIT for the psychology department.How the hell did she get an invite from MIT? Jake wondered.Did Delma work behind the scenes and made it possible?At the same time, Davis was telling his parents how he wanted to buy a fast food chain, and so he wanted some capital from them.“I will become successful, and in one or two years, I will make Tessa look at me differently!” Davis told his parents.“If you can catch a trillion-dollar woman with a few million

    “Ethereal Bane Fists!”Poisonous fog blasts rained down on Jake without end, his voice thick just like the swirling tendrils of dark smog. On top of it, Melvyn used the telekinesis power to send big rocks flying at Jake.Jake blocked and deflected as many as he could and tried to break through Melvyn’s defenses.Despite raging in wrath, Melvyn was actively dodging Jake’s attacks, his eyes like chips of obsidian themselves.The fog around him solidified, churning and darkening, hinting at the terrible power it held.“You look cute without hair,” Jake commented, hoping it’d make Melvyn lower his guard.Melvyn’s intensity of attacking increased even more, and this helped Jake land a few hits in.But they didn’t do as much damage as he thought, or at least Melvyn was in too much of rage to be stopped by just any attacks. And he was using his telekinesis ability to reduce the impact of Jake’s attacks while strengthening his own.At some point, the black flames thickened and exploded.“Hell

    A couple of days ago.“Miracles don’t just happen,” Elmond was talking to Jake after soundly beating him during practice. “A lot of unseen work goes before one can pull off those jaw-dropping victories. To defeat Melvyn, you will certainly need a lot of raw power, but more than that, you should be able to suppress your own fears. Otherwise, you won’t be able to beat his fog.”“Suppress my own fears?” Jake looked puzzled. “I don’t get what you mean.”“Why do you think you got crystallized even when you had the shedding system?” Elmond said. “It’s because you couldn’t overcome his fog even when he wasn’t using his full strength.”“Y-You’re telling me.. His fog can do a lot more?”“It’s a world ending power… just like your system,” Elmond stated. “That’s why they’re called legendary systems. There are only a dozen or so systems like yours around the world, starting with the alpha system. When you’re competing at the top level, you’ll need to observe not just your opponent but also yourse

    Delma used the satellite towers she owned to check in the direction Jake and Melvyn had gone.It didn’t take her more than a couple of minutes to spot their location.“They went to Lemuria…” Delma frowned.“The lost continent?” Drake was startled. “Don’t the reptilian hybrids live there?”“I’m heading over,” Delma said and rushed away. “Bring all our forces there!”“What about Benson Blake?” Drake quickly said.“Kick him out!” she yelled.Benson looked quite upset with himself for many reasons. He looked up at Drake. “Let me accompany you to Lemuria. I will help you deal with my son.”“You think I’ll take you for your word?” Drake retorted.“Please!” Benson urged.Meanwhile, on the Lemuria continent.The exchange of attacks between Jake and Melvyn destroyed everything around them.They moved around on the massive content like rays of light.From ashy grounds to gardens of giant olive trees with fruits many times bigger than humans, they kept fighting without bothering about what’s aro

    At Hamilton mansion.Drake started attacking Benson, but Benson’s right-hand man, Jack intervened.“I’ll leave it to you, Jack,” Benson said and walked ahead.Drake and Jack fought viciously along with both the armies without holding back.“Dad, you seriously are not going to destroy the Hamilton family, are you?” Tessa asked.“Move!” Benson waved his hand, creating a gust of hot vaporous wind that pushed Tessa out of his way.Benson then pointed his palm toward the mansion building and released a strong arrow of blue flame, with the intention to utterly destroy the whole building that spanned many acres.But something blocked the flame arrow with both hands.It was Delma.She squeezed the flame arrow with both hands and suppressed it into nothing.Benson looked pissed off. “How could you kill my eldest daughter, Delma? If you had qualms with my son, you should have fought him instead. How could you kill Trisha?”“What sort of bullshit are you talking about?” Delma leaped at him and u

    The captain of guards, Drake, immediately activated a defensive shield around the Hamilton mansion.The missiles launched by the fighter jets couldn’t get past the barrier, but the sky was filled with huge sparks of explosion that were visible not just in the city but from far away places, too.Benson jumped out of the plane and unleashed a flame pillar through the barrier and broke his way inside.He landed in the garden, in the midst of many soldiers of the Hamilton mansion and released a burst of flames in every direction, roasting all the soldiers alive.“Come out, Elmond!” Benson roared. “Show yourself, Delma! Today is the day the Hamilton mansion will bite the dust.”Both Drake and Tessa appeared before him.“Dad, what the hell are you doing?” Tessa asked aloud. “Have you gone crazy?”Seeing the wounded Tessa, Benson’s expression changed. “Do you know what they’ve done to your eldest sister?”Tessa frowned deeply. “She got killed by Brother Melvyn.”Benson was startled for a se

    The next day.Delma woke up, only to hear of her grandfather’s demise.Her hand trembled as she touched the frozen crystal boulder, which was her grandfather.The last thing she remembered was him taking her and escaping from the island, but she didn’t think Elmond would die.What hurt her even more was that she didn’t even get to see Emond’s face anymore, as it had been fully crystallized.Resting her head on her grandfather’s head, Delma cried like a child.Seeing her like this, Weber also cried.Jake was also there, but he just put on a serious poker face, trying to control all of his anger and frustration deep inside so that he could later use it to destroy Melvyn.Elsewhere in the mansion.Prisha was watching television with her mother Felicia.In the live stream they were watching, Melvyn was the chief guest of the city-level school event and was talking on the stage right now.“He looks pretty handsome, doesn’t he?” Felicia opined. “What do you think?”“He’s definitely handsome
