Chapter 51
Vice Chairman Rainier nodded his head repeatedly.“I understand, Master Samuel! I wouldn't dare offend Young Master Gerald!”Gerald was taken aback by the sudden change in title. Damn! Power can really buy you immense respect so fast.Once the call came to an end, the vice chairman rushed around the large desk and fell right to his knees.“Young Master Gerald, I had no idea that you were from the Arnold family! I'm truly sorry for all the trouble you endured! I assure you, it was all a misunderstanding on our part!”Gerald was honestly taken aback by the sudden kneeling, he jumped out of his seat with a stunned gaze. Once again, he was getting a reality check of how deeply feared his family was.“Vice Chairman Rainier, please, get up. I don't need your apology because I was never angry with you. I just came to clarify the issue of the RFS getting in my possession, in hopes that you'll let Professor Julian off the hook.”With Gerald saying this, it was like he was declaring that Profes

Gerald said nothing as he retrieved his own phone and made a call. He then put the picked call on loud-speaker mode before the person on the other line could even speak.“President Gerald, how may I be of service to you?”Gerald went straight to the point.“Manager Steph, do you know who the vice chairman of the Institute of Antiquarian and Archeologist is?”Stephanie Vacker answered over the phone.“Yes, Sir? Dr. Wallace K Rainier.”Gerald nodded his head while keeping his gaze on the vice chairman himself.“Good. He's going to give you a call to confirm the delivery of the RFS. Give him whatever information he requests regarding the matter.”Stephanie Vacker wouldn't disobey her superior.“Understood, Sir.”The call came to an end, and Gerald gestured to the vice chairman.“Alright then, you can call to confirm for yourself now. I had to make the call first to give her permission. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up such classified information.”Needless to say, the vice chairman
Chapter 49
With Gerald gone with the vice chairman of the Antiquarian and Archeologist's institute, Julian Dalton had no choice but to go wait outside in the lounge as well.He would have waited in the meeting room, but the place is currently filled with a thick mist of malice created by the fifteen first-rank members and directed at him.After all, he was the one who brought Gerald here, the same boy who brazenly kicked Professor Colton Lambert, a powerful and influential golden-robed Archeologist in the chest. There was no way he would remain there.Juliet was surprised when she saw her father walking back to her in the secretary lounge.“Dad, you're back! How did it go?”She noticed her father's defeated posture, along with the stunned expression on his face.“Dad, what's wrong?”She then looked around him in confusion.“And where's Gerald?”Professor Julian didn't even know how to start as his daughter led him to sit down next to her.“He's…..um….well, he's….with the vice chairman. Your fri
Chapter 48
There were about fifteen men and women seated around a wide rectangular table, the kind that you find in executive meeting halls, and they were all in golden-made robes. The designs looked cooler than the silver and copper robes.At the head of the table, Gerald found the vice chairman of this institute, Dr. Wallace K Rainier, in a far more exquisite multicolored robe, ascending from copper to silver and then to gold by the top half and collar. It looked like a medieval vampire-like costume, but it was actually well-designed.At this point, Gerald has accepted the fact that everything about this institute gave an ancient vibe. There was something impressive that he couldn't deny though - this room was brimming with power.The secretary led them into the room.“Vice Chairman Rainier, Honorable first-rank Archeologists and Antiquarians, the awaited member on trial, Professor Julian Dalton, is here.”Julian stood before the people in this room, albeit nervous, as he bowed slightly.“Gre

“And….who the fuck are you?”Gerald kept a calm state at the silver-robed Archeologist.“I'm Gerald Stark. The person who gave the RFS to Professor Dalton.”Immediately, there were a couple of gaps from other members, who were spread around the hall. As it turns out, these people were eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time.A brash voice reached them as an old man in silver-colored robes walked over. By the insignia he had on his robe, he was clearly an Antiquarian.“So it's you! You're the one that Master Goliath and Young Master Freddy talked about! You're the reason my family lost the $450 million contract at Aventos Bank!”Gerald realizes that this old man is a member of the Blanks family. He happily nodded in response.“That's me. But let's get something clear, I didn't do anything to make them lose the $450 million. They must have offended the hire-ups of Aventos Bank, and thus, things ended up unfolding the way they did.”Professor Daniel Thyme glanced at the Arche
Chapter 46
Gerald could see the disdain in the eyes of this group of Archeologists and Antiquarians, and those fazes were all directed at Juliet's father.Julian cleared his throat.“Hello to you too, Professor Thyme. I can answer my daughter's friend with my mouth, okay? I don't need you to talk about me to them, not while I'm fully able-bodied.”The silver-robed man with the Archeologist insignia is Daniel Thyme, a second-rank member of this institute. As for the other four, it was clear that they were all third-rank members.Gerald and Juliet glanced at each other. They both could sense the slight hostility in the air between Juliet's father and these people.One of the third-rank archeologists spoke with a condescending tone.“Oh, why do you have a problem with Professor Daniel Thyme answering the young man for you? Are you scared that your utterly disgraceful act will come to light?”Professor Julian Dalton looked a bit offended.“Utterly disgraceful?! Are you kidding me?!”Juliet couldn't
Chapter 45
Juliet saw the way Gerald was staring at the interior designs, and she couldn't help but giggle.“It's a bit bizarre, isn't it? I thought the same thing when I first saw it. Usually, I wouldn't be allowed in here, but since Dad is here to plead his case with the institute, a few outsiders are allowed in as visitors.”Gerald was starting to understand how incredibly exclusive this institute truly was. Though the number of middle-aged men and women in robes was not up to a hundred, he could easily recognize so many of them.That's because this hall was currently filled with powerful businessmen and businesswomen who had a strong background in historical content. Gerald, who rarely watched TV growing up, had seen many of these faces on the internet. They were truly that famous. He began mumbling under his breath.“Holy shit! This place reeks with power. There are so many influential people here.”Juliet heard what Gerald had said, so she corrected him.“Ger, they're not just here, they
Chapter 44
Luckily, Gerald saw this coming. He served away from the fist and grabbed it by the wrist. He then followed up with a swing over the shoulder.Before Steven knew what was going on, he was lying on his back, breathless, as the impact of his back hitting the ground had forced the air out of his lungs. This also caused his vision to blur.“W…What…What happened?”Juliet was stunned by this. She was sure that he would get punched by Steven. But the total opposite happened. Gerald avoided the punch and then proceeded to throw the older man over his shoulder.She couldn't help but stare at Gerald with widened eyes.“Holy moly, Gerald! That was…..”Gerald smirked shyly at Juliet's praising gaze, running a hand at the back of his neck.“Thanks. I had a couple of classes during my teenage years.”Juliet was still stunned, but she quickly shook off the daze.“Guards, throw this man outside! My father has made it clear that neither he nor anyone from the Wes family is allowed here.”The two secur

A look of disdain was on Steven’s face as he worked over to Gerald.“Well, well, well. What do we have here? The thief who stole the RFS and presented it to Professor Dalton. Do you have any idea the amount of trouble you put me into?!”Gerald couldn't believe his ears.“What do you mean by that?”Steven wasn't in a good mood. In fact, he looked like he hadn't been able to sleep well for the past few days. Thus, his tolerance limit was at an all-time low. “Don't fucking pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about, peasant! You had the guts to present such a priceless item to Professor Julian! How on earth was I supposed to believe that the RFS in your hands that night was real?!”He pointed at Gerald, getting close to him with bloodshot eyes, in an attempt to intimidate the younger man.“Because of your cunning act, I accidentally broke the real RFS! An antique worth millions as the base bidding price! Do you have any idea how much damage your deception has cost me and my fam
