Chapter 99: Presentation
“M-MISTER ANDERSON!” said Bruce, slightly stammering, as he saw who the man approached him.It was Benjamin Anderson, the heir of the third-ranking family in the country. Bruce couldn’t speak as he looked at the man from head to toe. Every clothing and accessory on his body screams exquisitely that he looked like a rag immediately!‘God. Even the scarf he was holding costs fifty dollars already!’ Bruce couldn’t help but exclaim at the back of his mind.“N-Nothing. Nothing’s happening,” Bruce answered awkwardly as he let go of August's collar and fixed himself.“We’re just playing, right?” he added to ask as he stared at August with a deadly gaze.However, August just shrugged his shoulders, not planning to speak. Moreover, he was interested in Benjamin. He already saw him before at the gathering, but August didn’t expect Benjamin’s aura to be extravagant, which is a lot different than Harvey's. Harvey’s personality was boastful, and he could say that Benjamin is the same, too.But Be
Chapter 100: Show Up
“MY GOD! How did this happen?” Jessica exclaimed as her eyes flickered within her teammates. “How the hell did they know about our product?!”No one could answer Jessica at that time. All of them were confused, disappointed, and nervous at the same time.August felt the same way as Bruce started to pitch the product on the scouts and judges. It was exactly the same thing their group placed onto the document.“Our team managed to create a robot AI that specializes with medical treatments and diagnosis,” said Bruce as he clicked the remote onto the next slide. “The purpose of this is to help people seek immediate medical assistance, and think that they already have a companion always by their side.”As Bruce continued his report, he never left any single details in their document. August just stared at Bruce while clenching his fists, and the latter smirked at him as their gazes met.“A traitor…” said August as his gaze fixated on the table, in which the paper regarding his supposed pre
Chapter 101: William
“THIS IS a robotic AI with applications inside. It may have the same concept as Mr. Sandoval’s group, but its features and purpose are different. As they focused on the medical industry only, hence, our robot could be used literally everywhere.”August flipped to the next page, and everyone was shocked when they read the features of their robotic application.“Inside this robot features wherein the owner can set what they wanted the robot to do. Although it can obtain a limited amount of data as of now, the amount was sufficient for the robot to function.”On the next page, some examples of how the robot could be used by companies or even customers were written on the screen.“In fast food chains, it could be used as an order form. People would say their orders to the robot, and the latter would immediately send it to the cashier to process it.”“In the video game industry, the robotic AI could be used in customizing their own avatar, and choosing opponents based on their preference.”
Chapter 102: Who's The First Place?
IN THE blink of an eye, Bruce was already in front of August, holding onto his collar tightly— as if his entire life depended on it.“You… Why don’t you just keep quiet as you did before?” asked Bruce as he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.It was evident in his eyes that he wanted to beat August, even harder than he had beaten him up before. But something’s stopping him from doing that. He was afraid that what happened before would happen again. Aside from that, William was there, silently watching them. Every time he remembered that incident, it was followed by how his father tortured him like shit.With that, Bruce wasn’t able to speak. He just only snapped out of his thoughts when August held onto Bruce’s hand and removed it from holding his collar.“I’m not here to fight, but to find William.”“M-Me?” William, who was currently helpless as blood continued flowing from his nose, pointed at himself.August couldn’t see William properly as he was sitting slightly far away from
Chapter 103: Incompetent!
“THOMAS Bellingham’s group!”As soon as the host announced the first place, everyone clapped for them. However, in their minds, they were confused that none of the most influential people— Bruce and August, to be specific— won the hackathon event.All of them thought that there would be fraud in the event, but judging by the results, the organizers managed to make the competition fair and square, after all.Everyone was smiling except for Bruce. His eyes widened, and his lips parted as he heard that the host didn’t mention his group as the winner.“Why?!” Bruce stood up and exclaimed, which made everyone look at him, including August who doesn’t have any cocky smile on his lips. Rather, he was confused as him, too.Bruce didn’t bother explaining why he shouted. He just sat again on his seat and clutched onto the tablecloth to contain his emotions. The host cleared her throat before the awarding continued as if nothing happened at all.‘It should be me! I should be the winner of this
Chapter 104: What Did I Do To Save Your Son?
“SIR WESLEY,” Jake greeted on the other line.He stood up from the couch and gave Nicole a deadly glance before he went onto their terrace to hear Wesley properly. “I’m sorry for what happened. I didn’t know why the hackathon event led to such ridiculous results?”“Ridiculous?” asked Wesley as he laughed sarcastically on the other line. “Geo Saundler removed all the manipulations coming from our family for the competition to be fair and square.”“What?” The tip of Jake’s brows pressed hard as he heard what Wesley said. “August won that competition without any manipulations?”“He did.”Jake wasn’t able to speak for a moment. A hint of envy and annoyance became evident in his expression. Suddenly, he became envious that August, who was once in their company, became popular and valuable in a span of months.He realized that if only he didn’t mess up with Bruce, or the other way around, he could have used his talents to make the Sandoval Corporation prosper.“Trance,” Jake called his most
Chapter 105: The Winner Takes It All
AS WESLEY clicked something on his phone, a video suddenly played. Jake doesn’t need to look at it anymore as he could recognize the voices in the video.He could even recognize the scene, and it was the viral video that appeared at the annual awarding before.With that, Jake remembered the time when he called Bruce to take down the video. He wanted to be free from the Wellington family’s grip, but because of Bruce, he needed to beg again.“My child is an imbecile. I should've disciplined him better,” said Jake as he tried making his voice sound stable, but failed. His voice cracked, and the only thing he could do was bit his lower lip because he had been lowering his pride too much.“No. I think he’s a good man,” Wesley answered on the other line, smirking. “I like the fact that he beat that August to death.”Wesley hated everyone in the Remington family, and no matter who they were, even if they were just mere employees, a maid, or really a part of the Remington family, he’ll alway
Chapter 106: Why Would I Side With You?
‘NONSENSE.’That was the only word that came to August’s mind as he heard Bruce’s statement. Bruce already left him as he went into his own car. However, he thought that everything he said was pure bluffing since he was not that popular in the industry already.And maybe, it really does.A month later, August had risen to the top more than he could ever imagine. No one doesn’t know him now. Aside from being a key employee in the Remington corporation, Charles’ also allowed him to create his special team under the strategy department.With new inventions to manufacture, and with new ideas that made the company prosper, August had partnered with different subsidiaries with Charles’ help, including Johnson Gaming with Harvey.In fact, Harvey and August were together today in the Remington Corporation building to sign their agreement on their partnership. There were only a few reporters inside, and some employees from the Remington Corporation.Since August took care of some of the busin
