As Warren was walked away from the beggar, he couldn't help thinking about what just happened. 'Why do I feel so energetic all of a sudden? Did the beggar do something to me? Was it a good thing or a bad thing? Oh well, there is no use dwelling on it now. All that matters is that my wounds are healed and I feel amazing,' Warren thought to himself.
Although he was still covered in blood, Warren felt as if he could do anything. He felt rejuvenated from head to toe.
He sprinted and to his surprise, he didn't feel any pain at all. His speed also increased substantially. 'This is an unexpected and welcome surprise,'Warren said as he rushed to find a cab since his house was a long way away.
No cab stopped for him since he was still covered in blood. He didn't give up and stood in the middle of the road so that the next cab couldn't pass him by. He forcefully entered and instructed the driver to go to the designated address. Reluctantly, the driver followed his orders.
When he arrived home, he paid the driver with the money he wanted to give to the beggar, and immediately rushed towards the shower. Luckily he avoided his aunt and uncle and quietly and quickly cleaned himself up. After that he got dressed and joined his family in the living room. They were surprised to see him return so early. They thought he would be out for the rest of the afternoon, however Warren told them a story about rushing home so that he could still get his things ready for his departure tomorrow. They believed him, since there was no reason for him to lie to them.
"If there it is no bother, I would like to spend the rest of the day in my room without getting disturbed," Warren said to his uncle and aunt. They thought maybe he wanted to call Cassidy and wanted privacy to talk to her, so they didn't mind at all. They simply smiled and nodded at him.
For the rest of the afternoon, Warren was meditating, trying to recall the scripture the old beggar gave to him. He could only decipher pieces of it, but these pieces that he deciphered were of great help to him. He could regulate his breathing efficiently and he could feel traces of energy flowing throughout his whole being. Although it wasn't on the level that the beggar displayed when he repaired his internal damage, it was still extraordinary. After meditating for a while, Warren could feel some traces of Qi flowing through his body. While it was faint, it was definitely there.
Warren was happy with his current results and decided to call it a day. He stretched himself and reached into the pocket of his bloody pants which he has hidden to get his cellphone. Although, the screen was partially cracked, Warren could still use it. He switched it on, only to realize that there were a few messages. The number that called him earlier left a few voice messages urging Warren to call them back immediately. The voice said that it was of utmost importance for Warren to call them, since it was something that would affect Warren's life in a huge way.
Warren decided to ignore the message since he didn't know who it was. He spent the rest of the day cooped up in his room busy playing a few games.
Early the next morning, Warren said his goodbyes to his aunt and uncle and took a cab to the airport. He felt that the change of scenery did him some good, although he was humiliated the day before. The silver lining of that incident was that he got to meet the beggar and he shared a very powerful gift with Warren. As he was getting off the cab and on his way to check in forhis flight, his phone rang again. It was the same number that he ignored for the past 24 hours. He finally had enough and answered it.
"Young Master Parker! You finally picked up," the voice shouted on the other end.
Warren was irritated since it was clear to him that the female on the other side got the wrong person.
"I'm sorry, but I think you phoned a wrong number. I don't know anyone named Parker," Warren said annoyed. Why was this person bothering him all this while when he wasn't even the person that they were looking for.
"I'm sorry, Young Master. I meant Mr Cole. I have been waiting for you at Flemond University, but it seems like you are out of town. Could you tell me when you would be back?"
Warren was confused. Who was this person? And why does she know about me? Warren was getting more and more flustered, since the person called him young master. He was no young master of sorts.
"I'm sorry Ma'am, but I think you have the wrong person. I don't think I'm the only named Cole at Flemond University. Also, I don't appreciate you enquiring about my whereabouts. Especially when I have nothing to do with you," Warren said.
The voice became shaky and pleaded "Forgive my ignorance, Young Master. However, Master Parker told me to be your guide and servant until you eventually return to the Parker mansion."
'Master Parker?' Warren frowned when he thought about this. Then a face suddenly flashed through his mind.
"This Master Parker that you're referring to, are you talking about Johnathan Parker?"
"Yes, Young Master. The Master also instructed me to send you a little bit of pocket money. The message should arrive any second now."
Warren looked at his phone and there was a pop up. "Your savings account has been loaded with 500 000 000 dollars!"
Warren was dumbfounded. 500 million dollars! Before he could answer, the voice continued "In addition to that, The Master bought Flemond Galaxy District and changed the ownership to your name. He also bought Galaxy Tech Lane in order to give you the opportunity to build your skills until you're finally ready to succeed him as the head of the Parker Family. However, he kept this quiet, since it is only him and myself, as his most trusted subordinate, who knows about your existence."
Warren was at a loss for words. Johnathan Parker just bought the entire Flemond Galaxy District as a gift for him. In addition to that, he bought Galaxy Tech Lane, a company worth at least 100 billion dollars as a stepping stone for him to develop his skills. This seemed unreal. It had to be a dream.
"Flight 187 departing for Flemond is ready for boarding!" a voice rang throughout the airport. Warren knew it was his flight and as he was about to go through customs the voice on the other end said "I will wait for you at the airport, Young Master. You have a safe flight." Warren was still speechless. He couldn't say a word, nor could he register that if what happened just now, was a dream or reality. It didn't make sense that he was now the owner of the most lucrative business and shopping district in all of Flemond. He boarded the plane and still stared at his phone. "500 000 000 dollars has been paid into your savings account!" Even when he saw the proof, he was still doubtful. 'I will visit the bank after landing in Flemond. That's the only way I would know if this was the real thing,' he thought to himself. After that the 4-hour trip back to Flemond felt like an eternity. Warren couldn't wait to get back. Wh
Oblivious of the schemes that Johnathan Parker had, Warren returned to his dorm room in a cab. He thought it would be best to leave the entourage so that they may stay at the Flemond Stargaze Hotel, one of the buildings located in the Flemond Galaxy District. Although he was also the owner of that hotel, Warren didn't see the need to suddenly move to such a grand amd luxurious place, since he wanted to be low-key. He didn't want to touch a cent of the money that Johnathan Parker gave to him, nor did he want to use his facilities. Warren felt that he would become dependent on the support that Johnathan lend him and then he might as well become his puppet.When he arrived at the entrance of the dorm, he was greeted by his good friend, Samuel. Warren was ecstatic when he saw the familiar face. It's a good thing that he didn't run into either Jennifer or Lloyd first, since it would add to his dismay."So you ran away so suddenly, did you manage to sort out everything back
"Just think about this: since we're holding a raffle we could make a huge profit and buy all the food and blankets that we want without standing here like beggars," Lauren explained.It finally made sense to Warren and Samuel. Lauren was only caring about her own image and not the purpose of the fundraising. She didn't want to participate in an activity that made her reliant on people's generosity, she wanted to be the one in control."With the raffle we can sell tickets at a price of 5000 dollars. If we have a hundred participants, we could raise 500 000 dollars. The prices that those who participate in the raffle could win include a new BMW 3 series, a necklace worth 25 000 dollars and a one-day all expenses paid luxury day at the Heavenly Sky Resort, with dinner included at the Heavenly Sky Diner."Warren and Samuel looked at each other and shook their heads. Lauren was so far off topic. Her suggestion defeated the whole purpose of the fundraising
The girl was at a loss for words. She just received a phone call from the hospital telling her that her mother's hospital bill has been settled and that the payment also covered the cost for her mother's operation. She has been struggling to raise money to pay her mother's bill which amounted to 12 000 dollars. An additional 55 000 dollars was needed for the operation to remove the tumor that her mother had in her breast. She was too embarrassed to mention this to anyone, but now someone just paid covered all her costs.She looked at Warren's back as he disappeared into the horizon. She left everything at the stall and ran as quickly as her legs could carry her, after him. However, the moment he disappeared from her sight, she never saw him again. It was as if he vanished into thin air. Dejected, she returned to her stall to pack up. She reached her goal, so she didn't want to hang around any longer. Her demeanor changed after she received the phone call. She seemed as if she
After the bottom three was announced, everyone was looking forward to the top 3. The emcee cleared his throat and started his announcement."Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for. We are going to mention the top 3 groups who have raised the highest amount during this fundraiser. Get ready for it!"All the students were becoming restless. They couldn't wait to see who was top this year. All of them immediately looked towards the Literature Department's side and could see Jennifer, Lisa and Lauren standing there next to Charles Chamberlain. Everyone felt that the results were already assured. The Literature Department would take top spot."In third place, from the Engineering department, we have Emma Stewart and Jenna Jefferson. They raised a combined amount of 20 000 dollars."There were gasps all around campus. Everyone was shocked. Who would have donated such a huge amount of money? 'It's crazy to think what people do with their money,'
After she went down from the platform, Christina approached Warren. She was planning on thanking him, but after she saw so many eyes on them, she thought it would be best to leave it for later. When she stood in front of him, tears welled up in her eyes and she could only look at him with gratitude. As she was about to cry, Warren touched her hand and smiled. She was taken aback by Warren's actions and quickly retrieved her hand, however a few students already saw it."Look, Warren is trying his luck with that girl.""He doesn't have a conscience or any shame. After hearing she has 30 000 dollars, he is trying his luck with her," another student said."He is really pitiful. It's one thing to be poor, but he is so shameless that he would do something like this in public.""You could see the tears in Christina's eyes. She is obviously distressed because of what Warren just did."Every student had an opinion on what Warren just did. His intention was
"Good evening, Ma'am. A reservation for two I assume?" the receptionist asked when she saw Warren and Christina. She could see by the way Warren dressed, that he was not the one capable enough to book a table at the Heavenly Sky Diner."Yes Miss. We would like a table for two, however we didn't book in advance," Christina said with a smile. She thought that it wouldn't be a problem if she didn't book a table since she could afford the costs anyways."I'm sorry Ma'am, but if you didn't book a table in advance I cannot help you. I am working according to this list and if your name isn't on it, then I cannot help you," the receptionist said as she pointed to her tablet.Christina felt embarrassed. She really wanted to treat Warren to a meal at the fanciest restaurant in town, but now she couldn't even book a table.She look at Warren shyly and said "I'm so sorry, Mr Cole. I really wanted to treat you to dinner here, but it seems like
When Jennifer and Charles saw this scene they were left speechless. They couldn't wrap their head around it. It was clear as day that Warren had Christina didn't have a booking for a table. The receptionist even confirmed it. So why was Mr Lewis personally welcoming them into his prestigious restaurant. Charles couldn't take it any longer."Mr Lewis, good day. My name is Charles Chamberlain, the son of Christopher Chamberlain. I believe we have met."Mr Lewis looked at Charles with a frown. He was acquainted with Christopher Lewis and they often played golf together. Mr Lewis would occasionally give Christopher a few tickets to allow him entrance into the Heavenly Sky Diner if he ever wanted to come here for a meal. It seemed like Christopher didn't appreciate his hospitality, since he never attended the Heavenly Sky Diner once. He always gave his tickets to his son, because he didn't think much of Mr Lewis' sincerity."Yes, I believe we have. How ma
