(Note: The setting of the story is in a country called Maharlika. This is a parallel world with some similarities to Earth.) "Mr. Manzano, we already agreed that I will start working for you next week. Why are you suddenly moving it tomorrow?" Sofia muttered in a distressed tone. To treat her father who was bedridden, she was forced to sell herself to a gang leader called Leandro Manzano. This guy was a big shot in the underworld and he has connections in the police and the government. It was even said…-

Arlan grabbed a pen from his bag and proceeded to sign the documents. He didn't even bother to read the contents since he trusted Luke's professionalism. Kate stared at him in surprise when she saw this. She thought that Arlan would take his time to read the documents to ensure that he wouldn't be cheated. Who would have thought that the guy would actually sign each page without hesitation? "That should be everything. Please check it for me, Kate." Arlan smiled as he gave her the documents. Kate…

Arlan left the office while Terrence followed him. "My dad actually gave you that unit! You're really lucky, buddy!" Terrence chuckled lightly. Arlan smiled at his words, but he soon put on a serious look as he said. "By the way, a friend of mine will be here in a while. He is someone close to me so I hope that you will respect him regardless of his status. That guy was kicked out of his job because of me and someone is even deliberately making things difficult for him, causing him to be unable to…

After a quick bath, Arlan went into the changing room and opened the closet. He saw an array of expensive clothes. These clothes were complimentary, but their value wasn't small when added all together. Arlan casually chose what seemed to be a good match. He then inspected himself in the mirror and nodded his head in satisfaction. "Not bad." He muttered. He grabbed his phone and dialed Terrence's number. "I'll be back at the hotel before lunch. I'll give you a call once I arrive." "Alright. I'll wait…

When Arlan arrived at the Royal Territory, he was stopped by four security guards. They were tall and intimidating. It was also obvious that they were former soldiers from the dangerous aura he sensed from them. "Sir, only homeowners and family members are allowed to go inside. If you have a property here, please show us your documents." One of the security guards said as soon as Arlan rolled down the window of his car. The other three security guards proceeded to inspect his car from all angles. They…

Arlan felt his phone vibrating. He sneakily unlock it under the table and checked the notifications. He then clicked the notification from the mysterious app. 'Royal Territory!' Arlan was shocked when he saw the prompts. This place was a large subdivision with dozens of multi-million dollar mansions! There were even mansions priced at hundreds of millions of dollars! Only the richest of the rich could afford to buy a mansion there and now, Arlan owned one of the villas in this area. He…

"Terrence, does Arlan know how to play the piano?" Luke couldn't help but ask. This was a very important occasion and he didn't want anything to go wrong. Terrence shook his head and muttered. "I don't know. I've only known him for a few days." He was also feeling a bit nervous. He knew that the celebration this time was very important for his father's business and that a single mistake might ruin the reputation of their family. If he told his father that he only knew him for a less than half a day, he…

Soon more guests arrived and the banquet hall was filled with all sorts of people. However, most of them came from notable backgrounds. Arlan even noticed some local actors and actresses interacting with the guests. "Are you alright, buddy?" Terrence patted his shoulder. Arlan smiled as he looked at him. "Yes. I'm just not used to this sight." He answered. "Is that so? Just relax and enjoy the celebration. Everyone's goal here is to make friends. You see those people right there? Most of the guests…

Owen walked up to them and said. "Terrence, you lost. You shouldn't go back on your words." It was the first time he had defeated Terrence in a basketball match and it made him so happy. Terrence glanced at the smiling Owen and snorted. "If not for Arlan, you guys would have been decimated by my team, but since you won, I'll acknowledge my defeat. However, are you shameless enough to swallow the 100,000$ by yourself?" He admired Arlan, but this did not mean that his impression of Owen and others has…

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the confident Arlan. Owen walked towards him and whispered in a low voice. "Are you crazy? That guy, Terrence, is an elite prospect scouted by the local pro league. I heard that even scouts from the NBA G League also showed signs of interest in his potential. Bro, just stop here and don't embarrass yourself further." Arlan ignored his words. He just wanted to see how well he could play on the court after he claimed the Top-tier basketball talent. Although he…
