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.

    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

    Jake was in the biscuit factory, sitting in his office chair, changing the channels because he was bored.Almost every news channel was talking about the fire devouring Reich town.“They are all showing the same footage again and again,” Jake thought. “It feels strange.”[They only show what they want the people to see.] The system said.“You think these fires are not natural?” Jake was surprised. “They are calculated attacks?”[Yeah, there is something strange about those fires. They don’t look natural. You are right to question the narrative.]“Reich town is way too far from here for us to do anything.” Jake said. “It’s more than 2000 miles away, isn’t it?”Just then, the gate guard entered the room after knocking the door twice. This guy was one of those Jake hired freshly after buying the company.He put an envelope on the table. “You received a post, sir.”“A post?” Jake quickly opened it.It was a letter from the Cavil insurance company. “They are canceling the fire insurance fo

    Lily, the second daughter of Benson, looked at Jake with a bit of a cold gaze. “What do you want?”Jake tossed the envelope on the desk. “Can you tell me what’s the deal with this?”The way he tossed the envelope bordered between anger and calmness.Lily opened it and checked the details. “Oh, so you’re the new chairman of Better Biscuits. That’s really unfortunate because your company lost fire insurance.”“Yeah, what fraud did the company do? Why don’t you tell me?” Jake asked.“I think you should ask the court about this,” Lily smiled, almost mockingly. “But let me save your time. The court wouldn’t support a million dollar company like it would support an insurance company that’s worth hundreds of billions. Heck, my company gives insurance to big lawyers, judges, and even the court buildings they work in every day.“So… you have no chance of winning. You should have never bought the company, but you can still find someone and sell it for a cheaper price. If you’re lucky, another i

    Flames were everywhere, not just in one corner.A few workers had rushed out, but some were still inside. Jake didn’t even hesitate to run into the factory, even though people advised him not to.They already called the fire engine, but it was yet to come.The flames were only growing bigger, and it didn’t look like something that one or two fire engines could take care of.Jake could see that different parts of the factor were being burnt, and it didn’t make sense to him.He saved one female worker who was too afraid to cross the flames and then asked her, “How did this happen?”But she was in too much of a shock to respond. He told her to go outside, and then he entered deeper into the factory.Jake didn’t realize it yet, but the flames that were supposed to burn were all fading away before they could touch him.Jake was able to help more people get out, and then he finally reached his office, which was already burned to dust.There were no flames there.However, he saw a person sti

    Jake was checking through the rest of the factory if anyone else other than the manager died or not.But he didn’t find any other corpse.While he was happy that he saved many people, he was also saddened by the fact that the person he had talked to most among the employees in the past five days died.Jake returned to the main office. He kept staring at the manager’s corpse. He didn’t know if he should move it outside or not.As he was hesitating, he suddenly looked around as the flames that were dying began to rise.“What the hell? Why are the flames rising?” Jake was startled, but then he felt a strong presence in the south, toward the backside of the factory.Since he got the soul shedding skill, he didn’t feel anything like this.And this was his first time feeling the soul energy coming from another person, as this was so concentrated.Without the system telling him, Jake knew that this person was bad news.Both of them walked toward each other, with Melvyn leaking out a hot aura

    Jake became a crystalline statue.Just then, Delma and Drake, the chief captain of Hamilton’s forces, arrived there through the back entrance.“Oh, no,” Drake frowned. “We were a step late.”Seeing Jake’s statue, the veins in Delma’s neck bulged. “Melvyn…” she leaped forth.“Don’t, Delma! That fog is dangerous even for you!” Drake shouted.“I’ll kill you right here and now!” Delma threw a punch at the fog. The sheer air pressure from her punch blew the fog away in different directions.But the thought of Jake shattering away from the collateral damage made her suddenly stop.She grabbed Jake’s body and threw it toward Drake. “Take him to the mansion and get him treated!”“Can he still be saved?” Drake wasn’t sure because Jake looked like a crystal statue now.Delma threw a punch down at Melvyn’s chest, but he caught her fist before it hit him. His other hand was covering his face.“Go away, Delma. I don’t want you to see me like this,” Melvyn said. “I don’t want to see myself like thi

    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
