For years, people doubted her about other worlds being real. They shunned her and even called her and her dead parents crazy. Well, Rose Catone got the last laugh for after seeing the inter-dimensional comet, the Timore comet, and making a wish to leave her world, Rose she finds her life turned upside down when she wakes up on the deck of the Going Merry.

As I walk my way home, I saw Mateo walking through the halls of the hospital. What is he doing here? Does he seriously want to rage war and visit his ex?

"Mateo!" I say as I call out to him.

He turns to me and he walks towards me. I see a notepad on his hand with a pencil held through the spirals of the notepad. It seems that he is not here for a visit at all.

"Rose, I thought you've gone home," he says as he walks towards me.

"What is your business here?" I ask bluntly.

"I am doing our business," he corrects. "I've come to investigate and make an article as we are supposed to do. I have been walking around and asking men and women for what they know. I have even asked the guards. For a five-star hospital, they really need to replace the guards. They admitted that they were asleep when it all happened."

"They're not asleep," I say firmly. "They were not paying attention. This hospital has terrible security."

"Well, anyway, I took the liberty of asking for the footage," he says. "A guard and I went through the security footage of the entire night and we saw Mr. de la Rama getting out of the building alive. Then, next thing we know, the footage is suddenly broken then it turns back on only for a janitress to go back inside the building in a frightened hurry. We managed to follow the janitress' trail and after the incident, she immediately ended her shift and went her way home."

"Do the cops know this?" I ask.

"No," he says. "Apparently, the cops stopped doing their search. It was as if they had been paid to do so. I asked the same guard and he said that the cops stopped coming here. They had urged every media to keep a hush-hush about it. Apparently, someone paid every major media outlet a huge sum of cash to keep this story off the papers and the news."

"It could be the de la Ramas," I suggest. "Perhaps they would want privacy."

"No, apparently, they do not care about that," he says. "Nothing moves the investigation forward since the media and the cops had been paid to keep silent."

"Does that mean that the boss also received a kickback?" I ask.

"I don't think so," he says. "But, I am also not sure.

I am stunned by all that's been happening. Whoever person involved in this matter must have been powerful. They managed to take down the security footage at the time of the murder. They managed to keep a silent murder without making a noise to make it subtle. More importantly, they managed to keep all forms of investigation silent by paying each company that would dare investigate silent. We are journalists. Of course, we are going to search for the truth no matter what happens. Searching for the truth has always been my life.

Well, I have a degree in Mass Communications, but seeing a lot of documents in my lifetime, I always managed to do my own investigation and conclude. This has been my life. But now, I shall have to search for the truth when everyone else did not dare to do so.

"Anyway, let's just investigate this matter and pass it over as an article," I say flatly. "Do you have the picture of the janitress?"

"I managed to take the screenshot of the footage," he says. He takes out a sheet of paper and it shows a zoomed in photo of a janitress that is in her thirties looking frightened after what she saw. Her noticeable feature is her high cheekbones. That is pretty much it after I take a close look at the lady. It's not a high-quality photo since it is a security footage and it is zoomed in.

"Have you found this lady yet?" I ask.

"I have been asking around all day," he says. "I have not managed to find this woman. Maybe I should ask her fellow utility workers."

We walked around finding a janitor and moments later, we found a young man that seems to be in his early to mid-twenties and he seems annoyingly enthusiastic about his job.

"Good afternoon, madam and sir," he says as he mops the floor joyfully.

Alright, this is kind of shocking. It is as if SpongeBob SquarePants came to life and took the form of this man. The only thing that's lacking now is that he looks like a kitchen sponge and use himself to mop the floor.

"Yeah," I say steadily. "Anyway, may we ask a simple question?"

"Of course," he says like a SpongeBob. "I would ready to serve a visitor."

"Have you seen this woman?" Mateo asks bluntly as he pulls the screenshot out. The young man looked at it carefully and it seems he is trying to remember who she is.

"Oh, that's right," the young man says. "That's Ms. Jane Herrera. She works the afternoon shift here. Did you know that she has three children and she had to – "

Then, suddenly, a woman in her thirties walks right up to us. She has the high cheekbones prominent on the woman in the photo. Her hair is tied in a ponytail and she looks weary today.

"Robert, quit it," the woman suddenly says.

"Sorry, Jane," the young man says. "But I was only telling the cops the truth."

"Why don't you go get lost for a while," the woman called Jane suggests. "I need to talk with the 'cops'. You have no business here."

Without another word, the young man called Robert suddenly walks away with his mop and drags the mop with him. He seems to be highly frightened of Jane. The janitress lets out a brief sigh as we watch the foolish SpongeBob mop away like he has been chastised by Squidward to get lost.

"I'm so sorry about that, madam and sir," Jane says apologetically. "But why have you come here? The investigation has been called off."

"Did the de la Rama family say that?" I ask in a whisper.

"Madam, if you please, I do not want to discuss these matters at all," she says dismissively. "We are to know nothing, see nothing, hear nothing, and say nothing."

"Miss, we are doing our private investigation and we are not bound by the law or 'bribe' that had happened," Mateo says. "Please comply with our investigation. Since no one else would dare find the truth, we are here to devote ourselves to the truth and search for it anyway. Or, perhaps, you would rather let this mad killer at loose and go on another killing spree. Which would you want?"

"Sir, you do not want to mess with these people," she says in a warning. "The one we're dealing with is involved with the elite."

"Don't bother yourself, woman," I say flatly. "We are already involved with the elite. How harmful can this killer be?"

"Have you heard that the mastermind already paid almost everyone – "

"We know," Mateo interrupts. "We are not scared about that, woman. Say the truth. Tell the story and we will say nothing about you. We will keep your identity anonymous and the truth shall prevail."

I cannot believe that we actually pressured this woman to tell the truth. I can understand her fears as a witness. I gaze into her eyes and all I can see are eyes of fear for she has seen what the elite can do at most and they can always get away scot-free for almost every crime they commit. I'm sick of seeing the elite do that. I'm here to take down anyone involved in the murder.

"Alright, I will tell," she says.

Then, she tells a detailed account of what happened. Apparently, there were three murderers wearing ski masks and gloves. One made Mr. de la Rama unconscious with chloroform, one held his body tightly, and one was prepared to stab him with a knife. It was a silent murder indeed. When Mr. de la Rama was finally unconscious, the man stabbed him trice. One managed to call their apparent 'mastermind' but they were speaking in a foreign language that is why Jane did not know what they were saying.

As she was about to walk away, a man almost tried to make her unconscious but she pleads for her life. In exchange for her life, she must keep silent and their 'boss' will do the rest to silence the investigation. Jane agreed to their terms and she ran away in a frightened haste.

"I tell this to you right now," Jane says once more. "Do not cross with these people. Please, if you do not want to die, stop this."

"We thank you for your cooperation," I say brushing of her words. "Your words will be helpful."

Then, we walked away without saying another word. As we stepped out of the building, it seems that as if no murder had ever existed. There were no chalk markings, police tape, or anyone asking around except for us. Now, it truly confirms Mateo's investigation that no one will now dare to investigate this matter. It was as if money can truly silence almost everyone, but I will not be silenced. We will conduct our own investigation without the aid of the authorities.

"So, what do we do now?" I ask my partner for investigation.

"We try to find the men," he says. "I know it sounds crazy, but it will come around. This is far too dangerous to come around. If our national police can be silenced, then this person must be involved with the government as well."

We were walking our way from the hospital to the nearest bus stop. As we walk, I have a terrible feeling as if someone is following us. Suddenly, I saw a man wearing all black carrying nothing at all that has been following us for a while. I only need to flash a grim look at Mateo to inform him and it turns out he feels it too.

We walk briskly to try to lose the stalker, but instead, when we went into an underground passage, another man that looks like the man stalking us came before us. We tried walking back but the first stalker is right behind us. We are all but trapped in this underground passage.

"Hand over the evidence," the man says bluntly.

"No!" I exclaim.

"Little lady, your silence will be rewarded greatly," the other says. "Now, hand over the evidence and let's just forget this little incident, shall we?"

I looked at Mateo and it appears he is not willing to release the notes and the screenshots we have. We are journalists. We always push for the truth and inform the masses no matter what happens! The truth must always prevail. It only took one agreeing nod from each other that we are not going to release what we have.

"No," I say once more.

And just like that, more of their men came and there was a dozen of them. I guess they are ready to take us away. They form a circle around us. They pulled their rifles out to point at us to threaten us into submission. Still, I do not flinch with what they're doing. I stood firmly and still without saying another word. Silently, I am praying the five decades of the rosary once more. I know that nothing can help me now and all I am asking for is a miracle to come from above.

Lies, Betrayals, Wishes, Deceits, Murders, Wealth . . . such many things for an elite to have. 

Rosanna Aguinaldo, a self-made journalist, Rose into the world through hard work. For much of her life, she involved herself in the lives of the elite, thereby creating many questions in her mind. What mysteries do these people have? How can people mysteriously die, lose their inheritance, or conspire with one another?

Release: On Hiatus

Chapter Length: +2000 words

The darkness of the mind is complex. A land that can always be accessed but never understood.
"What a strange one…" A voice called out in this strange darkness.
Fishy floated around in the empty space. As if he was taken away by the sea and left to drown. He couldn't control where he went. He wasn't even fully awake to listen.
"Sealing the power was the only choice." Another voice said, causing Fishy to open his strainful eyes.
"Where am I?" He said to himself as he spun his body to look around.
He squinted into the distance but all he saw was darkness. Various shades of black as if he was trapped inside a shadow. 
"We don't know what it could do. This was a gamble."
Voices kept appearing. Each one was louder than the last as Fishy floated around. As if he moving closer to the source.
He spun around one last time, only to wish that he had never turned.
6 giant creatures, all that looked distorted from the world they were in, towered over Fishy who felt as if he shouldn't make himself known. 
The figures reminded him of animals from back home. His wide eyes looked at them, making sure that he was certain as to what he was seeing.
A snail. A bee. A frog. A lion. An elephant. A butterfly.
These 6 creatures, one of which was familiar to Fishy, spoke about something he couldn't understand.
"The gamble won't work." The lion said, "You'll only doom us all."
"Nonsense." The snail spoke with a voice as if they were an old man. "We owe it to **** to make it work."
Fishy listened to the word he couldn't even repeat. A word that was too distorted for him to understand. The figures stayed over him. He hadn't noticed that he had stopped moving and wasn't even breathing. Even with his hand over his chest, he couldn't feel his heartbeat.
"I will make sure to look after him." The snail said as if smiling towards Fishy.
Fishy looked back at them all as they all seemed as if they were tilting down at him. He wanted to move on to get out, but as if he was experiencing a night terror, he couldn't move. He was trapped in that single spot in darkness with only their booming voices to keep him company.
"I personally don't want to look after him, but I shall play my part." The butterfly said with a flap of its wings. "If he turns into the next undead lord, don't blame me. I'm leaving now."
The butterfly evaporated into the darkness of the nightmare. The others quickly followed with only the snail left behind.
"I do hope he'll try your hardest. Anger is a painful emotion."

# # # 

"WHAT THE HELL!" 
Fishy, who was once staring blankly at the sky, paralysed in sleep. Darted awake only to see several of the villagers staring at him. Silmor stood with the building group whilst the triplets climbed all over Fishy's recently awoken, and still aching, body.
"Can I have a moment to rest?" He asked, only to be denied.
"I'm afraid not." Tin said," That girl you brought back, she's awake."
Hearing that caused him to jump out of bed and push passed everyone who was blocking him. He didn't know why he did but he ran towards Ziu's house as if he knew that's where she'd be.

Surrounded by more people, the girl sat in the centre of an empty room with various food in front of her. Clothes were quickly made by Clara to replace the old damaged rags that she wore before. Her short blonde hair moved as she spun to face Fishy who had just entered, staring down the girl with the red eyes.
"Interesting eyes…" Fishy muttered to himself staring deep into her crimson eyes.
"What about her eyes?" Clara said as if they saw two completely different things.
"Nothing… it must just be normal for this world…"

What else could happen when you graduate top of your class at university? A successful job? A beautiful wife? How about being reincarnated in another world filled with monsters that look as if they would destroy anything in their path? 

For Fishy, he ended up getting reincarnated. But that doesn't seem so bad when you're forced to lead a village that doesn't even have one fully built house. At least he lives in a world that's filled with magic and many challenging near-death experiences.

Zuo Aiai was already laughing so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back as she sat on the chair.
Alright then, Jin Di's face was as black as charcoal.
She cleverly pursed her lips and tried to hold back her laughter as she looked at him fawningly.
"Can I eat now? I'm so hungry. "
Jin Di smiled with a look that said, 'you still know how to be hungry' .
She smiled guiltily. "I'm really hungry. "
Then, Lord Jin condescendingly handed the chopsticks in his hand to her.
She gratefully took it and began to eat the large portion of snail powder in front of her. As she ate, she didn't forget to glance at Jin di beside her.
It was the first time Jin di had eaten such a thing. He frowned as he looked at the red, white, green, and a thick layer of oil floating on the surface of the bowl.
However, he heard the sound of Zuo Aiai eating happily.
He had actually gone against his usual behavior and had a slight appetite for this strange food.
He elegantly picked up a few pieces with his chopsticks and placed them in the wind to let it cool for a few seconds. Then, he carefully put them into his mouth.
A second ago, he had indeed tasted a very delicious taste!
But... ... Not long after ! !
Suddenly... ...
Zuo Aiai had been staring at Jin Di's face. She saw that his initial enjoyment had suddenly turned into torture and then redness. In the end, the famous Jin di stood up in a panic and then ran to get water in a panic... ...
She burst out laughing again!
Just now, she had told the Lady boss that she wanted the hottest one in her house.
Because it was a snack stand, the couple had thought of many novel ways to attract customers. For example, this super spicy competition was one of them.
There is a night of supreme spicy snail powder, who can eat a bowl of all, then the meal all dishes are free.
Although she did not expect to be free, but also want to see Jin di eat a bite of this supreme spicy snail powder will be what kind of expression!
Turns out, he didn't LET HIMSELF DOWN!
The look on his face is amazing, isn't it!
���� --
Teasing him was one thing, but when she saw the pain on Jin Di's face, she didn't dare to laugh anymore. She hurried to the 24-hour convenience store next door to buy him ice water.
After drinking a bottle of ice water, his expression finally returned to normal.
She thought that he would be angry... ... Who knew that he would only glance at her with a normal expression and then return to the table where they had eaten before ...
Then, he calmly picked up his chopsticks... ...
She was shocked!
"You... still want to eat? "
Jin Di glanced at her and lightly acknowledged.
She swallowed her saliva. He still had the courage to pick up his chopsticks despite being so spicy. What was this man thinking?
"Why don't you eat mine? It's not spicy. "
She pushed her bowl over, but Jin di shook his head in a domineering manner.
"No need. "
She did not know why he was acting so awkward. That night, she just stared blankly at Jin di holding the chopsticks and then ate the bowl of supreme spicy snail powder one bite at a time!
Then... ...
They had a free meal that night.
The lady boss even gave them two bottles of mineral water before she left to commend his courage.
She took the mineral water and followed him home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw him running to the bathroom to brush his teeth... ...
It was even weirder. When he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she finally could not help but ask him, "is such spicy snail powder that delicious? You actually ate all of it? "
Jin Dada looked at her calmly and said in a calm tone, "I came out in a hurry at night and didn't bring my wallet. "


On the plane, a roar came from the broadcast. "Zuo Aiai, you still dare to run away for me? "
She raised her voice. "The world is very big, I want to go out and take a look. "
"You can go out, but I'm afraid you won't be able to come back, " the man said shamelessly.
"Why? "
Zuo Aiai blushed. "Get lost"
"Your photo has been posted on the world's best-selling magazine! " The man said domineeringly. "according to your husband's popularity, there are countless women who want to kill you. For Your Safety, be good! Come home with me! "

I'm on a pirate ship I think. Last thing I remember is having a bag put over my head, my hands were cuffed together behind my back. On the plus side, I learned I can poke my system buttons with my mind as well as my hands. To (Scan) something... I need to be touching it with my hands though. 
.
I've got no clue how long I was hand cuffed and blinded but when my stomach started hurting in hunger, someone came in and exchanged my bag with a blind fold. The blind fold was impossibly slippery to the point that I was scared of what it actually was. 
.
???: My name is Diamante. I ate the Hira Hira no Mi. I am a Flag Human. My powers let me turn anything into a flag. I made the skin of a poisonous fish into a thin flag and used it to cover your eyes. If you touch the blindfold, you will die of poison. The side covering your eyes is non - poisonous so you will be ok as long as you dont try taking it off. Do you understand?
.
Dont touch the insta kill poison on my FACE? Yeah, I understand asshole. I slowly shrug to him as I'm keeping my "Cant Talk" persona for now. 
.
Diamante: What's with that shrug? Speak up kid! I'm talking to you!! 
.
No fucks for you either tapeworm. Secret Skill... Silence!! Oh wait...
.
Nova: "Toot"
.
Enjoy a fart. 
.
<------->
Diamonte POV
.
What Virgo said is true, the kid doesnt talk. I just told him I put a poisonous blindfold on his face and not a single word came from him. 
.
MC: "Toot"
.
Oh! He spoke... THIS LITTLE TURD JUST FARTED IN MY DIRECTION!!! HOLY CRAP IT STINKS!!! 
.
Diamonte: DID YOU JUST FART?! 
.
He shrugged again
.
Diamonte: IT STINKS!!! My Eyes! What's up with your stomach!?!? What died in there!!
.
He shrugged once more. His responses piss me off...
.
Diamonte: I'll cuff your hands infront so you can eat. We will arrive in a few hours. Dont get any smart ideas. The Young Masters wants to meet you. 
.
I adjusted his cuffs and left the room. I hope that brat kills himself trying to take that blindfold off. 
.
<------>
.
Nova POV

Ok... so I'm on a ship heading to Doflamingo's base to see him, I've got a death sentence on my face, I ate a Devil Fruit I've never heard of, and im in posession of 2 priceless stolen swords...
.
Isnt this difficulty level too high? The food that tapeworm left vanished almost instantly. I need to figure out what my Fruit does. After putting my trey infront of where I heard the door close, I sat as far away from it as I could. Sitting cross legged, I tried to feel any change in me. I slowly moved every inch of my body to see if anything was hurt or different. 
.
Conclusion... I've got no clue what I'm doing. I can tell I've got 2 arms, 2 legs, 10 fingers and toes, I'm definitely a boy, and I can still smell my fart. Damn that thing was nasty.
.
What do I know of Olympians? They were the children of Titans, Gods of Greak Mythology, Zues slept with anything that had a pulse, Percy Jackson wasnt the lightning theif, Kratos killed Ares, ... I might have some of that wrong but Oh well.
.
My Fruit is a Paramecia so it either turns me into something, Lets me control something, or let's me make something. That's roughly what the Paramecia class holds. I dont think I can turn someone into an Olympian... I dont think there are Olympians in One Piece... so maybe I became an Olympian? If my Father IS Rayleigh... I can see him counting as a Titan among men. 
.
This is getting me nowhere. For all I know, I'm being watched without knowing so I cant store the cuffs or bring out a Sword. I'll just wait I guess... not much else to do. 
.
<------>
.
The door is being unlocked. I dont feel rocking or movement. I hear people unloading stuff and ah... 
.
It worked.
.
I hear a loud crash as someone slipped on my tray. The person who fell didnt make a sound except for the crash. 
.
Diamonte: YOUNG MASTER!! YOU BRAT!! WAS THIS MENT FOR ME!!?
.
I smiled. No use lying. That's what you get for putting poison on my face. I have no regrets... other then the fact that I didnt get to meet Robin...
Or my future crew... 
I also didnt find out what my powers are...
Or meet Luffy...
Or joke with Brook...
Or design my own Snail Transponder...
Ok. I have lots of regrets. 
.
What's up with me? I've changed sense coming to this world... I've never been the kind of guy who did petty things. Is it the whole "Will of D" thing that comes with my new middle initial... 
.
My blindfold was removed and I got to look at my captors. I see Diamonte and... Donquixote Rosinante. Rosinante has a nice anime bump on the back of his head. I'm lucky that it wasnt dingo who fell for my trap. I stare at the tall as hell Rosinante and smile. 
.
Diaminte: WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT BRAT!! APOLOGIZE TO THE YOUNG MASTER RIGHT NOW! 
.
I look at Diamonte with a deadpan face. As far as he knows... I cant talk. How can I apologize as a mute? This guy... is he an idiot?
.
Diamonte: WHATS WITH THAT LOOK?! WHY DOES YOUR FACE PISS ME OFF SO EASLY!! 
.
Ultimate move... Shrugs in Silence. Super effective.
.
Tapeworm has actual steam raising from his head and shooting out of his ears. I wish I could take a picture... maybe throw darts at it.  I shake my cuffs and look at Rosinante's face
.
He looks at Tapeworm and starts playing charades. After a couple of minutes of them "Talking", Tapeworm unlocked and removed my cuffs. 
.
Diamonte: Dont get any funny ideas. This is Young Master Corazon. He is the bosses younger brother and if anyone harms even a single hair of his... they will be killed. 
.
... ok so I just pranked him with a food tray and hes got a huge lump un his head. Does that count as hurting him if he took the blow for you? Does it count as YOU hurting him?
.
Rosinante walked up to me and knelt down. He looked me dead in my eyes and... punched me right out a window. 
.
Holy crap am I flying. As I majestically soar through the air, I see a huge junkyard with a building that looks like it's ready to fall in the center. As my flight reached its end, I crashed into the scrapyard head first. I left a nice trench as I skidded to a halt. Weirdly enough, my fall didnt hurt much. I've got a little blood coming down my head but it's nothing but a scratch. 
.
I picked myself up and started walking to the shack. On my way, I found 2 pipes about the same length. Holding them in my hands felt awkward at the beginning but as I started swinging them and hitting the garbage around me, they started to hurt my hands. I dont think I'm supposed to hit everything with 100% power all the time. I started trying to tap everything with rust once with each pipe. 
.
I reached the shack after playing in the garbage for a few hours. I've poked lots of garbage with both pipes. I climbed the stairs and opened the door like I lived there. Inside was everyone. ... Let's play this cool...
.
<------>
.
Doflamingo's POV
.
My entire crew minus Virgo is sitting around a large table eating when someone just enters out base. It's the kid Rosinante punched from the boat into the junk yard. He looks fine to me. He takes a second to look at the room and everyone inside... then he goes to the back and starts washing his hands and face in the sink. I cant believe what I'm seeing. 
.
Dingo: Hey, kid... what are you doing?
.
The kid looks at me and raises his hand that's covered in soap. He then turns back around and continues to clean himself off. Once his face and hands are clean, he walks to the table and takes a seat. Everyone of awestruck at what they are seeing. The brat begins to fill a plate up with food. Once his plate is overflowing with food... as if he was a bottomless pit, his food vanished from sight. 
.
Dingo: Kid, you have some nerve. Do you have any idea where you are?
.
The kid shook his head. Then he clapped his hands, picked up his plate, and washed it in the sink. Will... atleast he has table manners?
.
Rosinante is laughing at the brat, Diamante is turning purple... Trebol, Pica, Giolla, Lao G, Senor Pink, Gladius, Baby 5 and Buffalo are all slack jawed at the show. He then walks to each person at the table and shakes their hands. When he walked by Diamonte and Rosinante, he stuck his middle finger up. Diamonte almost fainted in anger. Right as I was going to say something else... I heard Purururu Pururu Pururu...
.
The kids eyes turned into stars as he raced to Senor Pinks side. 
.
<------>
Nova's POV
.
After my grand show of giving no fucks and bumming a free meal out of these fools, The guy in a suit's suit made the snail sound. He was glaring at me but again... No fucks jutsu in full effect. His snail was dressed like a doctor. it had a lab coat and scrubs on. The talk was brief but the gist of it was his wife's condition hasnt improved. He thanked the doctor for his hard work and put the snail away. 
.
Senor Pink: Hey brat, dont make that face. My wife will be fine. 
.
Huh?... I'm not making this face for your wife. You put the snail away... You know what, I'll let this misunderstanding go. Your wife is the victim and your fight with Franky was funny. You get a pass.
.
Dingo: Can someone bring me a pen and paper. I've got questions for the brat.
.
Ok, time to enforce my new role as someone extremely important to both brothers. I shook my head to Dingo and walked up to Diamonte. I brought both hands infront of my chest and shook them like they were in handcuffs. 
.
Diamonte: What do you want you little brat? You dont have cuffs on... How can I take them off?!
.
Ah... a true idiot. I signaled that I wanted him to give me the cuffs. After a few more incorrect guess on his part, he gave me the cuffs. I placed them on the table and positioned my left arm over them so I could lock my arm in them just by dropping my arm. 
.
Looking at Doflamingo, I took in a deep breath and mentally pressed (Scan). My right hand glowed faintly and I touched Diamontes skin. 
.
Everyone got up and brandished their weapons ready to kill me... but the show starts now. For the first time in this world, I spoke outloud for all to hear.
.
Nova: Scan Complete. 
Subject Name... Diamonte
Subject Fruit... Hira Hira no Mi
Subject General Info... 
~Age (31) 
~Birthday (5/29)
~Blood Type (S)
~Profession (Pirate)
.
I retracted my right arm and slammed my left arm into the cuffs. I started breathing heavily and fell to my knees. 
.
<------>
Doflamingo's POV
.
The kid can talk. He just gave us info on Diamonte that he shouldnt know. Stuff I didnt know... But just to be sure...
.
Dingo: Diamonte, did you give the kid your information?
.
He was looking at the kid confused. He shook his head and replied.
.
Diamonte: I told the brat my name and fruit... but that's all. You can mostlikely guess we are pirates due to the fact that we attacked Marines... but I've never told anyone my birthday or real age. Even I'm not sure what my blood type was.
.
Looking at the kid again... something isnt right. How can he have DF powers and be relieved to have those cuffs on? The kid seems out of breath. I'll wait till he catches it and have him do it again. 
.
Ok. Let's try this again.

Dingo: My turn kid. I know no one has told you a single thing about me. Let's see what you can really do. Give me all the information you can.

The kid sets up like before and takes a breath. His hand glows again and he touches my skin.

Nova POV
.
And the award for greatest performance goes tooooooo... SILVERS D. NOOOOOOOVAAAA.
I would like to accept this Golden Snail Award on behalf of all my fans and the saps that fell for my performance. I'm talking to you Dingo. Now, I hope Rosinante got my message. 
.
After some talking among the adults, Dingo agreed to let me stay under Diamonte's watch. I instantly shook my head and flicked tapeworm off. 
.
Diamonte: For the first time, I agree with the brat. His face pisses me off without cause. 
.
I started walking around the room with my finger in my nose. As i make it look like I'm picking someone, I walk up to Rosinante and point to him. Coincidentally, I placed a nice sized bugger right on his pants. I've put the window to my back so hopefully...
.
Bingo. He sent me flying right out the window into the dark junkyard outside.

My Fruit is Impossible...

My System is Impossible...

My Birth was Impossible...

All this has not stopped me yet.

Here I go...

The story goes like this broky.. (broky = my fanbase name),
Right in 2012 according to Mayan / Mayan tribe .. Certainly not super saiyan .. Hehe
The world is said to be doomsday, well we wait until the end of the year but it turns out that's not happen ...
Except, a floods that become disaster for my country every month in some areas until December ..
The following years also had no problems, in 2013 I graduated from college ..
December 2013, I started working until November 2019 ..
But there were no problems globally that threatened human to extinction.
There was a reason I finally resigned, the reason was simple  ..
My company seems to be going bankrupt, so many employees are laid off ...
As a result, I started to look for ways how to get a new job ..
Besides that, I am also trying to find a way to get income from trading by myself (if in the game, the term is a merchant)
I tried to sell drinks with very good quality but did not sell well, even though at that time the drinks I sold were in terms of taste, they were already have international taste (promotion hehe)
and I sold it at the time when the dollar exchange rate was equal to $ 0.71 (Rp.10,000), I tried again, I want to sell meatballs using an online application, but for more than 3 months there was no answer or result from aplication online company.
Finally, i try to find a way again by searching on Google, I accidentally found a site with an interesting offer broki ..
The site explained that I don't need to work on the office, just work at home with capital that only mobile phone & laptop.. The payments also quite attractive that $ 5 / hour ..
Tempted, cause in my previous work, I was only paid $ 265 / month (Rp. 3,700,000) ...
My eyes immediately turned green like Mr.Crab in the film Spongebob Squarepant ..
I immediately did the calculation with a calculator, that if I work for 1 hour = $ 5 means that if I work for 16 hours a day = $ 80 / day, which means $ 2,400 / month ... (note: my real working record is 19 hours / day)
OMG, I'm rich broky huahahaa .. I spend a month at most $ 250 ..
The next step I fill out the CV completely .. Upload all requested data ..
And the dialog box appears in the form of a statement ... "Do you intend and ready to apply for this job?"
There are 2 choices
I Yes I No I
I'm sorry YES I DO, Muahahahaaha
Then, When I click with a mouse ...
Everything turns dark ...
WTF !!

Native language:
Ceritanya begini broky (broky=my fanbase name), 
Kan tahun 2012 menurut suku maya/ mayan.. Yang pasti bukan super saiyan.. Hehe
dunia teh  katanya bakalan kiamat, nah kita tunggu sampai akhir tahun ternyata tetap tidak kiamat…
kalau di negara gue sih banjir tiap bulan di beberapa daerah sampai bulan desember..
Tahun-tahun berikutnya juga tidak ada masalah, tahun 2013 gue lulus kuliah.. 
Desember 2013 gue mulai kerja sampai november 2019.. 
Di saat itu kondisi aman sih tidak ada masalah secara global yang mengancam kepunahan manusia..
Cuma karena ada suatu alasan aja akhirnya gue resign kerja, alasannya sederhana.. 
Perusaahaan gue kayaknya mau bangkrut, jadi banyak karyawan yang diberhentikan..
Alhasil, gue mulai cari cara dong bagaimana mendapatkan pekerjaan baru..
Selain itu gue juga coba cari cara bagaimana bisa mendapatkan penghasilan dari berdagang sendiri (kalau dalam game istilahnya merchant)
Gue coba dagang minuman dengan kualitas enak banget tapi tidak laku, padahal waktu itu minuman yang gue jual dari segi rasa sih kelasnya uda internasional (promosi hehe)
dan gue jual waktu itu kalau dalam kurs dollar setara $ 0.71 (Rp.10.000) , gue coba lagi dong mau jualan bakso pakai aplikasi online tapi uda lebih dari 3 bulan pengajuan tidak ada kabar..
Akhirnya coba cari cara lagi dengan searching di Mbah google, gue ga sengaja menemukan situs dengan tawaran menarik broki..
di situs itu gue di jelaskan bahwa gue ga perlu kerja ke kantor, cukup kerja di rumah aja dengan modal handphone & laptoppembayaran juga cukup menarik $ 5/hour..
Tergiur dong, secara gue kerja sebelumnya itu Cuma dibayar $ 265/month (Rp.3.700.000)..
Mata gue langsung berubah hijau mirip Mr.Crab pada film Spongebob Squarepant..
Gue langsung melakukan perhitungan dengan kalkulator, kalau kerja 1 jam= $ 5 berarti kalau sehari gue kerja 16 jam=$ 80/day, yang artinya $ 2.400/month.. (catatan:rekor gue kerja nyata adalah 19 jam/hari)
OMG, gue kaya  broky huahahaa.. pengeluaran gue sebulan paling $250..
Langkah selanjutnya gue isilah CV dengan lengkap.. Upload semua data yang diminta..
Dan munculah kotak dialog berupa pernyataan.. "Apakah anda berniat dan sudah siap untuk melamar pekerjaan ini?"
Ada 2 pilihan 
I Yes I No I
Aku sih Yes dong hahahaaha
Pas aku Klik dengan mouse..
Semuanya pun berubah menjadi Gelap…
WTF!!

"You've opened my eyes, disciple. This whole sneaking around and taking things might be slower than my way, but it's definitely more fun!" Snail gushed to Kenja.

Kenja was in such a good mood, he had to consciously stop himself from skipping in celebration. With his trademark victory grin plastered on his face, his head swayed gallantly with each step.

He finally did it!

He was rich!!

Super rich!!!

Even Snail's word choice could not dampen his mood as he still took the time to correct him, "We did not take anything, Snail. We purchased those items fair and square."

Sakura hummed something to Snail.

"Who are you calling a sneak thief?! I'll have you know that I am upright and aboveboard when taking things! My style is not skulking around behind people's backs and stealing like this boy over here!" He redirected Sakura's insult to Kenja.

Kenja rolled his eyes. "I just told you! We didn't steal anything. We paid for everything." He knew it would be meaningless to explain to Snail how his "taking things" was as far away from "upright and aboveboard" as one could get.

"Ho? Then why did we have to sneak around like a bunch of criminals, sending all those delivery toothpicks anonymously and making me switch the bags out as they go? Truly, you are lucky that I dote on you else I'd mete out punishment for such deplorable behavior!" He puffed out his little snail chest and emanated an air of righteousness that he had no business displaying.

Kenja's smile turned upside down. He had successfully accomplished one of his lifelong goals to become rich, and Snail was still capable of ruining the mood. He rubbed his glabella in frustration as he walked, wondering if sticking with Snail any longer was even necessary.

After all, he was rich now!

"Let's say, someone has a really nice shell. Nicer than yours."

Snail gave Kenja an incredulous look with his eyestalks crossed. "Impossible, but go on…"

Kenja took Snail into his hand and curled his other fist alongside his shell. "This shell is bigger, smoother, shinier, tougher, lighter and roomier than your current shell, and it's not yours. You ask to trade for it and bring out some spirit stones for it."

Snail nodded his crossed eyestalks to show that he was with him so far.

"Now, let's say they refuse to trade for your things. What will you do?"

He did not need any second to think before responding, "I'll take it from them."

Kenja nodded his head as if he expected that response.

"Okay. How about if they trade it for everything in your shell?"

Snail gave him a look of scorn. "I'll take the stuff back when he turns away."

"Yes. Do you see what I'm talking about now?" Kenja felt he did not need to explain his point any further.

Snail contemplated for a moment before replying, "But I'm not going to steal from you, disciple."

Kenja slumped his shoulders, feeling Sakura vibrate in her sheath in a way that could only be described as stifled laughter.

This lesson was a cruel one that Kenja learned about a year ago.

His daily duel with Vice Elder Shirou had given him a steady supply of spirit stones that he could sell to mortal vendors who utilised spiritual tools. At some point, he had the bright idea of travelling to the inner parts of Ryuga and selling to the more affluent shops for a larger amount of gold.

Little did Kenja know at the time that it was a crime to have money if you could not protect it.

Shortly after one of his first sales, he was caught by a group of thugs who beat him up and took the new money pouch that he had hidden within his jacket's pocket.

His appearance clearly belonged to one of the lower class, so the only way those thugs would have known about the money was if one of the shops that he traded with had informed them.

He tried again a couple more times, being more selective about which vendors to talk with, but regardless of whom he spoke with or whether he had successfully sold his supplies, the thugs would find him and unburden Kenja of both, the spirit stone fragments and any money he had on him.

When Kenja finally decided to stop going to the inner parts, a couple of thugs came looking to see what happened to their new piggy bank, forcing him to stay hidden for a while.

That was when Kenja learned that it was not a good idea to display his wealth or good fortune, especially when he lacked the means to defend it.

It truly was a good lesson to learn early on.

"Snail, I'm only at the Qi Flourishing stage. Do you think trouble won't come looking for us if I let the whole world know what I have in my pockets?"

Realization gleamed off his tiny eyeballs as he quickly gathered himself and puffed out his chest righteously once more. "Hmph, I'd like to see who dares steal from you while this old snail is here…but you have done well, disciple. This snail isn't a garbage-collecting snail that like to deal with trash all day long."

…

Meanwhile, Third Elder Kondo had long arrived in front of the area where Hirai Hikaru's cave was located with Matsushita Hizumi and Bando in tow. For an incense stick worth of time, he stood a slight distance away from his three brothers who were in the midst of their cultivation, inspecting them, wondering why they were here together.

If they had decided upon this location to welcome Sister Kazane, they should have informed him!

"Ahem!" Elder Kondo released a loud, echoing cough that shook all the disciples cultivating awake. Sixth Elder Gao Diao parted the grass stalks that engulfed him while Fourth Elder Ariyoshi Miji peeked through one of his eyes at Elder Kondo. As for the Second Elder, there was no distinct movement, but the teacup that balanced on top of the bald part of his head that was not submerged in earth vibrated periodically.

"Third Brother? What brings you here?" As Gao Diao walked out of the foliage that grew around him, the vines uncurled from his limbs and the flowers that dotted his hair and mustache pulled themselves out from their stems.

Fourth Elder landed on the floor and saw the vibrating cup on Second Elder's head.

"Oy!"

He shot out his palm, and a rush of wind slammed against the dirt hill that contained Second Elder Inazuma, dislodging some of the dirt around his head. The tea cup was blown away into the crowd of disciples.

A loud snoring rang out followed with an abrupt cough.

"I'm up, I'm up!"

Second Elder Inazuma shook off the armor of dirt encasing him as if they were crumbs and stepped towards the other three elders who could only sigh quietly at the sight.

This was why it was pointless to ask Second Elder to cultivate. Even if he took it seriously in the beginning, he never failed to doze off after some time out of boredom. If it weren't for his love of spiritual tools that led him to speedily raise his cultivation, he probably would be a raisin at the Qi Flourishing stage by now.

"Ah, Third Brother has come as well? Did you also come to meet—" Second Elder's question was interrupted by a white pill being tossed into his mouth and two hands covering his lips.

"Second Brother does not cultivate often. Circulate this to make sure no negative consequences have arisen from halting your cultivation suddenly, che-che," Gao Diao stopped him from speaking any further.

On the same page as his much taller brother, Ariyoshi Miji quickly took control of the conversation, "Is Third Brother out for a stroll? It's rare for us to meet like this."

His true intent was clear: 'What are you doing here, brother?'

It truly was a rare thing for so many of the elders to be found together in a location other than their private Elder Hall or their informal gathering location, the Dragon's View.

Third Elder Kondo raised an eyebrow at them. "I have come to redress my disciple's grievance with another disciple. What about all of you? We agreed to welcome Fifth Sister together. If it was decided to meet here, you should have sent someone to inform me." He still believed that they were here for Elder Kazane.

A look of realization flashed in Ariyoshi Miji as he thought over how much time they had spent cultivating.

When meditating, the best results were obtained by focusing wholeheartedly on their circulation and contemplation. Splitting one's concentration on other activities like tracking time or guarding against attacks would undoubtedly slow down one's progress.

This was one of the many reasons cultivators sought safe, isolated places such as an Immortal's cave or a sect.

After noting that Elder Kazane would arrive soon, both the Fourth and Sixth elder were at a loss for words. To think three days had passed and the disciple surnamed Hirai was still cultivating without having taken a single break.

Three months of secluded cultivation was nothing for a Nascent Soul elder like them, let alone three days, but Hirai Hikaru was still at the Qi Flourishing stage. One whole day would show exceptional diligence while two would show an insane affinity for cultivating, yet it had been three days?!

They had been eager to accept Hirai Hikaru as a disciple before, but now their desire to poach such a promising seedling from their Fifth Sister doubled.

"As you know, Fifth Sister had accepted many new disciples this year, so I thought it might be a good time to find a another disciple to learn alongside Little Mizu," Gao Diao replied while gesturing to Shimizu Mizutani who was standing behind him. He had already left the Second Elder to his own devices.

"Aye, as am I. It's about time Little Yu and Little Hide had someone to look after." Ariyoshi Miji agreed with his brother.

After witnessing their Second Brother Inazuma arrive here for Hirai Hikaru, Ariyoshi Miji and Gao Diao were a bit concerned to see another elder join them. Since the Third Elder had made it clear that he was not here for Disciple Hirai, they were no longer hesitant about sharing their intentions.

Second Elder Inazuma shrugged off the earlier rudeness and chimed in, "You've come at a good time, Third Brother. I've found another spiritual architect!"

Elder Kondo was pacified after hearing the reasons they were here had nothing to do with Elder Kazane.

"That's good to hear, brothers. Perhaps finding another disciple to impart my inheritance is not a bad idea," he said while glancing to his back at Matsushita Hizumi, "but that will have to wait until after I teach a lesson about respect to one of the younger generation."

Gao Diao and Ariyoshi Miji's relaxed further knowing he did not come for the disciple they were in a tug-of-war over.

They both nodded in agreement with his actions, slightly curious as to which troublesome youth could trouble the Third Elder's disciple, but they withheld their curiosity. Now that the time before Elder Kazane's arrival was almost up, perhaps they could agree on a truce and meet Disciple Hirai together. Three days of cultivation was too much for a Qi Flourishing upstart; interrupting her now to ensure nothing untoward happened was their responsibility as elders.

They did not have time to spare for a story about two kids bickering.

"Go handle your affairs, brother. We'll wait for you here."

"Don't be too harsh on the child, che-che-che."

Elder Kondo nodded to the two of them. "Naturally."

He wanted to add a few words of congratulations to the Second Elder, but…the Second Elder was no longer paying attention to them as he was ordering the random crowd of disciples to bring back the teacup that was blown away. Turning to Aracha, he was about to request a fresh pot of tea when he saw that she had preemptively ignited a flame under a newly-filled teapot.

The Third Elder rolled his eyes and motioned for Bando to lead the way.

Even though he could have sent a disciple to fetch Hirai Hikaru, he was not entirely clear of the disciple's background, only knowing that she was a close friend of the younger princess and a new disciple of the woman he had fallen for. Additionally, since Elder Kazane was returning soon, he had only a brief window of time to rebuke the troublemaker before he would be forced to seek retribution through her master or give up. Neither of which were acceptable.

The three of them left the center of the encirclement and headed towards Hirai Hikaru's cave marked 5-5.

A bad case of déjà vu caused a shiver to crawl up the spines of the Fourth and Sixth Elder's spines once they saw the direction they took. They shared a fearful glance with each other.

There was no way, right?

"To cultivate is to become one with the world, achieving a higher plane of existence."

What the hell? No, it isn't.

"Through diligent meditation and introspective enlightenment, one will be able to bridge the gap between himself and the center of the universe, achieving Immortality."

Where did you get this crap? Such nonsense!

Come, come, disciple. Follow your Snail-sensei here, and I will show you the quickest path to Immortality! It isn't all meditation and enlightenment like you imagine. If you aren't willing to risk your life, what makes you think you can avoid death? But don't worry! You have the Supreme Me. Your success is guaranteed!

Now just put this dress on and let's go.

What? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't point that sword at me!!!

A long while later, Justice raised his head and said in a low voice, "Could it be that it is impossible for me to break this final wall of the Martial Way? Am I truly not fated with the peak of the Martial Way?!"
"The final step?" Ling Tian laughed, "Justice, do you know what is the final step? Do you truly think that you are already at a realm where there is only a final step left? No no no," Ling Tian shook his head, "you are still lacking."
"Oh?" Justice's eyes lit up "Don't tell me you know?"
Ling Tian's eyes narrowed in a mischievous manner as he said with a smile, "Of course I do not know either."
Justice began to flare up, "Then are you trying to joke with me? Don't think that I cannot do anything to you just because you are injured. Is your bum itching?!"
Ling Tian's face immediately froze up, and he did not dare to say a single word of retort. After all, being spanked by a man is an extremely humiliating matter. Yesterday was the only exception but if it were to happen today, an irreconcilable hatred would definitely be formed between the both of them!
Ling Tian then replied slowly, "I can only tell you this. On the Martial Way, no matter what heights you reach and even if you are the first since the ancient times, it would definitely not be the last step." Ling Tian smiled warmly with his eyes shining, "The Martial Way does not have a final step!"
"The Martial Way does not have a final step!" Justice repeated those words under his breath, and a perplexed look could be seen in his face, "Could it be that I have been chasing after something that doesn't exist for so many years?"
Ling Tian forcefully propped his body up and felt an aching pain all over his body. Looking at Justice, he said seriously, "Since you can't understand that, then let me ask you. Even if there is an end to the Martial Way, what would you want to do when you are there? What can you do?!"
Bang! Justice seemed to have been whacked in the head by a baseball bat and his body began swaying. That's right, just what is the reason for me to chase after the peak of the Martial Way? Even if I can reach the peak, just what should I do? Justice's body began swaying, and his countenance was completely pale. All of a sudden, it turned into a faint gold color, and he looked at Ling Tian with a deranged and malevolent look.
Ling Tian was startled in his heart. If he were to truly drive Justice crazy, he wouldn't be able to predict what Justice would do. He wouldn't be surprised if Justice chose to kill him on the spot. Thus, he hurriedly said, "While there isn't an end to the Martial Way, every time you take a step, you will be able to prove your ability to break through your own limits. While I said that there isn't an end to the Martial Way, those words aren't completely correct either. If we were to only talk about the Martial Way, then we might truly be able to see an end. However, the final step of the Martial Way can also be considered to be the first step." Without any choice, Ling Tian could only change the topic to draw Justice's attention.
Justice was flabbergasted as he asked, "What do you mean by that?" Despite being the number one expert in the world, he was truly interested in what Ling Tian had just said.
Ling Tian replied in a low and mysterious tone, "Justice, have you heard of the Heavenly Way?"
"Heavenly Way?" Justice repeated those words under his breath and looked at Ling Tian with a burning gaze, "Heavenly Way?!"
Ling Tian grumbled bitterly in his heart as he continued on, "The final step of the Martial Way is just the first step of the Heavenly Way. Do you understand if I put it that way? When you are able to explore the secrets of the heavens and earth with your Martial Way, you would be near the final step of the Martial Way. However, no one knows just how one can reach such a step. Perhaps being one with the world can be considered to be the first step of the Heavenly Way but it is also no different from a single strand of the Heavenly Way."
"I see," Justice said with clear eyes, "Heavenly Way? Just what kind of a realm is that? What is the point of talking about the Heavenly Way if we are unable to even reach the end of the Martial Way? Is being one with the world truly the start point for the Heavenly Way? Why have I not heard such a saying before?!"
"Hahaha…" Ling Tian chuckled and the time which he had been waiting for had arrived, "Justice, in the eyes of the people in the world, your martial arts are already at the absolute peak. However, in this life of yours, even if you are able to make a breakthrough, you will never be able to reach the highest peak of the Heavenly Way realm."
Ling Tian paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know what is the peak?"
Justice rolled his eyes and had the urge to spank Ling Tian, "The highest point is the peak."
"Wrong!" Ling Tian said with a tone of absolute confidence, "The so-called peak is just a place where no one else would be able to reach but you. By being able to reach a point where no one else is able to reach, it would turn into the peak. Just like how you are at the summit of the mountain but I am only at the waist of the mountain. However, if I ascend up to the summit one day, then the peak would also cease to exist."
Ling Tian continued, "There can be only a single person at the so-called peak! That is the true peak. The only reason why you are unable to make a breakthrough now is that there is no one that can be compared to you! If I am able to reach the same heights as you, you would find out that the place where you are standing at is just slightly above me and still far from the peak."
"That would also be the point where you will make a breakthrough. After you achieve a breakthrough, you would also find a new target and new heights. As long as there is someone chasing after you closely from behind, you would be able to ascend greater heights quickly."
Ling Tian smiled profoundly, "While there will always be someone who will reach the peak first, it is extremely important to have a companion along the journey. Without a companion, there will be no comparison. Without comparison, there will be no fighting spirit, and you would be unable to take a single step forward!"
Ling Tian's words were akin to saying, You need me and so you can never kill me! Apart from me, there is no one else capable of being your companion.
"That's right!" Justice burst out laughing, "No wonder! It is not that I am unable to achieve a breakthrough but that I do not have a target to achieve a breakthrough!"
Ling Tian smiled and said, "There is a snail who is the fastest among all the snails. He had always been extremely proud of that until he met a tortoise and when he crawled onto the tortoise's back, he immediately felt his worldview widen immensely. He realized that this tortoise was more than ten or a hundred times faster than him! Thus, he let out a gasp of admiration: This tortoise is truly fast! It is as fast as lightning!" At this moment, Ling Tian actually began telling a story.
A cold glare flashed past Justice's eyes but he did not interrupt Ling Tian and listened silently.
Ling Tian chuckled and pointed at Justice before pointing at himself, "You, me, Yu ManLou, Ye QingChen and the rest are all like a bunch of snails with you being the fastest one. However, the Heavenly Way is like the tortoise. We need to wait for the opportunity to meet the turtle before we can understand the Heavenly Way." Ling Tian laughed, "But apart from the turtle, there is still the mouse, rabbit, tiger, eagle…Do you understand what I am trying to say?"
Justice could not help but laugh as he felt Ling Tian's analogy to be pretty interesting, "We are the bunch of snails that are cultivating the Martial Way?"
Ling Tian burst out laughing, "That's right! We are the bunch of snails who cultivate the Martial Way!"
"Hahaha…" The two of them looked at each other and began bursting out into laughter. Justice had never laughed so heartily in his life before, and he laughed to the point tears almost flowed out of his eyes, "It turns out that I am only the snail which is crawling the fastest?"
"No! You are not the snail that is crawling the fastest!" Ling Tian said seriously, "You are only the snail that has crawled the furthest. I should be the snail that is crawling the fastest!"
Justice laughed even harder as though a problem which had been troubling him for a long time was finally solved. He squatted down and slapped his palms on the ground laughing in an almost maniacal level, completely devoid of the image of an expert.
Xiao YanXue stood outside the tent and upon hearing both Ling Tian and Justice laughing in such an odd manner, she could not help but peek into the tent with shock and doubt.
Justice pointed at the peeking Xiao YanXue while laughing, "Another snail!"
Ling Tian could not help but add on, "This is a female snail!"
Then both of them continued laughing.
Xiao YanXue flew into a rage! She never expected that to be scolded as a snail just because she took a peek of concern! Her face flushed red as she stomped away while cursing, "The two of you are the snails! Smelly snail! Darn snail!"
When a woman throws a tantrum, she wouldn't care if you are the number one expert in the world!
Justice stood up laughing, took out a jade pendant from his embrace and threw it at Ling Tian. Ling Tian immediately recognized it as the Heaven's Heart Jade which Yu BingYan had given to him as a token of love. He then saw Justice taking off the Heaven Splitter and throwing it on the ground like it was no different from waste metal.
Ling Tian glared, "What are you doing?" At the same time, he could not help but question in his heart if Justice was driven crazy by him.
Justice smiled, "You were originally dead for sure but something odd happened to this jade pendant. It formed a connection with my Heaven Splitter and the inner qi of your body, therefore saving your life. Since your fate is connected to this sword, what is the point of me keeping it?"
"An oddity within the jade? Why didn't I know?"
Justice snorted, "At that time, you were an unconscious snail and were naturally unaware."
Ling Tian laughed bitterly.
Justice smiled and said, "I have already tried to study it with my inner qi but could not get a reaction. Your inner qi is probably the only thing capable of forming a connection with it. You can study it slowly, and I will make my move first."
"Where are you going?" Ling Tian was startled, "Don't you want to kill me anymore? Don't forget that we have a half year agreement. While I said that I lost previously, I have not admitted defeat yet!"
Justice let out a carefree smile, "These two jade pendants and this Heaven Splitter are rumored to allow one to rule over the world! But in my eyes, they are no different from lousy rocks and metals. As for the world and commoners, hahaha… what have they got to do with me? If it is your fate, then it should belong to you. You can do as you wish. As for killing you, why should I kill you?"
Ling Tian could not help but look at Justice with bewilderment. Why did Justice look as though he had achieved an enlightened state and has detached himself from worldly affairs? He then asked, "Are you going to ignore the request of the Martial Order Medallion?"

The caterpillar that was ugly and would always be stepped upon by people would spread its beautiful wings and soar to the sky!
No, Qiao Nan was not a caterpillar. Right now, Qiao Nan should be described as the gold hidden in the sand, its dazzle hidden from others. 
When the sand and huge waves were gone, the gold would dazzle brilliantly.
Qiao Nan felt uncomfortable at Shi Qing's gaze. She could not help but look at herself in the mirror. "Do I have wings?"
"Hehehe…" Shi Qing was overcome with emotions for a short moment, but it turned into nothing the next instant. "Qiao Nan, I just found out that you are still a fool. Sure enough, people with high intelligence and emotional intelligence would have times when they are foolish!"
With that, Shi Qing felt much better.
Though Shi Qing was overcome with emotions, Qiao Nan, who was like a fool at times, proved that, like Shi Qing, she was just an ordinary person. In other words, Shi Qing was not too far behind Qiao Nan. They were actually similar to each other. 
Shi Qing finally felt at peace.
Since young, Shi Qing had good grades and was a genius as compared to others. It was natural for her to feel somewhat upset when she met her peers who had better grades and was more outstanding than her in every aspect.
Shi Qing had been dealt with a strong blow from the first formidable opponent she had met in her life.
"It's nine o'clock. It doesn't matter that you are not going to sleep. I will sleep first." Shi Qing yawned and lay on her bed. She covered herself with a thin blanket and fell asleep in no time.
Qiao Nan went according to her study plan. She did her reading until ten o'clock before she went to bed.
Qiao Nan stood up from her chair and noticed the mathematics exercise sheet that was placed haphazardly on Shi Qing's study table. 
Qiao Nan took the exercise sheet and looked through it randomly. Among all the test papers that the teachers gave her to practice, Shi Qing did not complete a single test paper. She would pick certain questions or question types to do. For the same type of questions, she would either do one of them or pick a question according to its difficulty level. She would do the difficult questions and leave the easy questions empty. 
Shi Qing left many questions empty in her exercise sheets.
But only those who understood mathematics would know that Shi Qing was a clever child. It did not matter that she did not finish all the questions. After all, this was just for practice. It was not a real exam. It was brilliant of Shi Qing to choose the challenging questions to tackle and to spend her time on other more important work.
Qiao Nan sighed after a long while. People like Shi Qing were the real genius. Her winning factor was her intelligence. As for her, she had to rely on her diligence. 
Even though Shi Qing was no longer in the same class as her, Qiao Nan could not help but feel tremendous stress when she saw her exercise sheet. 
No matter what, she would do her best to complete her high school and cherish the learning opportunity that was rare to come by. 
The next day morning, Qiao Nan and Shi Qing both woke up at six o'clock. Nobody had the habit of sleeping late. They got up early in the morning and ran around the community.
"Did both of you buy the breakfast today?" It was already seven o'clock when Qiao Dongliang woke up. By then, the dining table was already filled with soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks.
"Well, Shi Qing and I went for a run. Dad, have your breakfast before going to work. Don't be in a hurry. Go slow on the bicycle." Qiao Nan took a bowl for Qiao Dongliang and poured the salty soybean milk into the bowl.
Qiao Dongliang took in the fragrant smell of the beans and the sight of the white and smooth soybean pudding. He was in a good mood this morning. "Will Shi Qing and you stay at home to study today? You should relax and go out for a walk once in a while. You should not keep staying at home."
"No, I won't be studying today. I will have a rest this weekend. I will do some handiwork and relax." It was rare that Qiao Nan did not have any study plans for the day.
"That's good. Since it's the weekend, you should have some fun with Shi Qing." After drinking the last mouthful of soybean milk, Qiao Dongliang stood up, getting to leave. He took half a stick of deep-fried dough sticks with him. "I woke up slightly late today. There is work to be done in the factory. I have to finish them by today, so I will probably come home late tonight. Nan Nan, Shi Qing and you can decide what you want for dinner. Just leave some for me. I will reheat them when I am back."
"Okay." After Qiao Dongliang finished eating, Qiao Nan put away the dishes, washed them, and put them to dry.
After Qiao Dongliang left, Shi Qing stood next to Qiao Nan. "What are you doing today? Why didn't you mention it previously? Did you change your mind and intend to look for Brother Zhai and go on a date with him?"
"No, I won't be going out today." She was not joking with Shi Qing. She really had something on today.
"What do you intend to do?" Qiao Nan had decided not to go out, not to date, and not to study. What did she have in mind? "Qiao Nan, do you want to watch television?"
Qiao Nan knocked on Shi Qing's forehead. "Have you forgotten that Brother Zhai gave me a lot of fabric last time? I received them during the weekend, but I haven't been doing anything with them since then." If left for a long time, the fabric might turn moldy.
"Do you intend to make clothes?"
"Well, haven't you bought me a sewing machine? We can't possibly waste it." Qiao Nan took her hat off to Shi Qing. In fact, she was just joking in the beginning. If it did not work out, she would simply spend some money to borrow a sewing machine from someone else. 
Children from rich families were indeed different. At the mention of it, Shi Qing bought the sewing machine straight away. But in this way, it would be easier for Qiao Nan.
"Do you really know how to do it?" Shi Qing had indeed asked Shi Peng to buy her a sewing machine and send it to the Qiao family's residence. However, she did not have high hopes that Qiao Nan would be able to make clothing using the sewing machine.
"Of course." Qiao Nan shot Shi Qing a disdainful look and took out all the fabric that they bought last time. 
Qiao Nan shot a few looks at Shi Qing before she used the chalk to mark neat lines on the fabric.
"Do you really know how to do it?" Shi Qing could tell that Qiao Nan was indeed skilled in making clothes and she felt more at ease. "But from what I see, other people will usually measure the shoulder width, the chest, and the waist. Why didn't you do that?"
"There's no need for that." Qiao Nan smiled. In the future, the clothes were manufactured in batches in the factory. Nobody would make fitting clothes that were tailored to someone's build. They would make the clothes according to a general guideline and the clothes came in different sizes, S, M, and L. She had a rough idea of the body build of the person she was making the clothes for. Even though it would not be very fitting, it would not be far off.
After making the markings on the fabric, Qiao Nan cut the fabric into her desired size. Her movements were natural and deft, as if she was a seamstress who had years of experience. She did not have any hesitation at all.
Qiao Nan was fast with her hands. Shi Qing, who sat by the side, was dizzy from the quick movements of her hands. She was completely shaken by her skills. "Qiao Nan, are you the snail girl[1] written in the story?"
[1] The Snail Girl is a traditional Chinese folktale whereby a young farmer chances upon a large river snail and brings it home with him and takes great care of it. It turns out that the river snail can take the form of a lady. She will come out of her shell to prepare meals for the farmer while he is farming in the fields. It is used to describe someone who is hardworking and kind-hearted and does not ask for returns.


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"
