I had seven childhood playmates, all nothing but gorgeous. They treated me as their little brother. And I called them "sisters". The eldest one, Belinda Staley, was a business genius. Th second one, Sandra Clayton, was a famous doctor. The third one, Brenda Danbury, was mysterious. The fourth one, Carly Tuttle, was a national beauty. The fifth one, Freda Peck, was a ruthless police officer. The sixth one, Ruth Frey, was a great heroine, and the seventh one, Adyson Dorothy, was a genius professor. And my name was Claud Allston. I was the founder of Celestial Palace, the ruler of the world.
Claud was in New York.
On a bus, he looked out of the window in a trance.
Thirteen years later, he came back.
Claud was an orphan who grew up in a Welfare Center. One night thirteen years ago, a fire broke out in the Welfare Center, and the eight-year-old Claud fell in the flames.
He did not die. When he woke up, he was in a strange place with an old man by his side.
Since then, Claud and the old man depended on each other, and he had learned from the old man.
When Claud was eighteen, the old man gave him a rite of passage and told him that he had finished his apprenticeship. Then the old man left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter behind.
In the letter, he said that when Claud reigned, they would meet again.
To see the old man again, Claud had wandered the world for three years, relying on his abilities to defeat all the powerhouses among countries, causing the world to tremble.
Claud was the invincible deity.
And that wasn't all. Claud also established his own organization, Celestial Palace.
The organization had a global reach and weighed down the powers of the world. What was more, everyone in the world's upper echelon was well aware of the slogan "Celestial Palace dominates all".
Claud waited for the old man in Celestial Palace for three months, yet the old man was nowhere to be seen. Claud left regretfully and returned to New York...
"Old man, you tricked me. I don't know when I'll see you again. Stay alive. No one will be by your deathbed. Do you know that?"
Claud pursed his lips.
The old man was his master.
As the saying went, once a teacher, always a father.
Claud thought of the old man as his grandfather.
He withdrew his gaze.
Then he took out an old, yellowed photo with eight innocent smiling faces on it. Stroking the photo, he smiled.
When he was a child in the Welfare Center, he was often bullied because of his thinness. Fortunately, the seven girls in the Welfare Center would stand in front of him, protect him, and accompany him.
Later, he took those girls as his older sisters.
Claud had secretly vowed to protect and take care of them when he grew up.
Now he was back to fulfill his oath.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, he heard a strange moan, which interrupted his thoughts.
He looked toward the source of the voice.
He saw two rascally young men harass a girl between them, and there was a sleazy man behind her while taking advantage of her.
Seeing such blatant harassment, Claud was furious.
What made him even angrier was that the passengers on the bus pretended that they didn't see anything. Since it was none of their business, none of them stepped up to help the girl.
"Enjoying?"
Claud took a step forward and went to the sleazy man.
"Yeah, it feels great... Huh?" The sleazy man was startled. Just as he turned around, he felt the world spin, and he was tossed aside by Claud.
"Deegan!"
Deegan Macaulay's two lackeys rushed over.
Deegan crawled up in pain and flew into a rage. He pointed at Claud and scolded, "Asshole! You are a busybody, aren't you? Do you know that there will be consequences?"
"Three men bullying a girl. And you call yourselves men?"
"How ridiculous! What proof do you have that I bullied her?"
"Still denying it?"
"You need evidence to back up your words. Ask the passengers here. Did I harass her?" Deegan glanced around fiercely.
The passengers on the bus were timid and spoke one after another.
"Sorry, I didn't see anything."
"I wasn't paying attention."
"Me either. Maybe it was a misunderstanding."
No one stood up.
Seeing this, Deegan sneered, "Well, did you hear that? Everyone present can prove my innocence. On the contrary, you hurt me on purpose. Give me 500 dollars, or I'll see you at the police station."
Claud's face was cold, and he was burning with rage.
He turned around and said, "Miss, do you have anything to say?"
"What? I... I..."
The girl lowered her head and stammered, unable to finish a complete sentence.
Deegan was even more arrogant. He held his head high and said complacently, "Give me 500 dollars, and we'll call it a day. If we go to the police station, you will not only have to pay me money but also be detained as well."
"Tsk, tsk. This is a bit interesting."
"What do you want?"
Seeing Claud approach, Deegan inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine. He tried to act tough and said, "I'm warning you! Don't do anything stupid. We are now in a society under the rule of law..."
"I'm surprised that you know that."
It just so happened that the bus arrived at the station, and the bus doors were open.
Claud kicked them out neatly. The three men covered their crotches and rolled on the ground, wailing.
The driver was smart. He quickly closed the door and started the bus.
Deegan wanted to chase after Claud, but he couldn't stand up at all. He could only shout angrily.
"My boss is John Lumis. He owns this area... Ouch... Asshole, wait and see! You can't get away with this! I'll kick your ass when I find you... Ouch!"
Claud scoffed at Deegan's threat.
Claud thought, I am the owner of Celestial Palace, and even the giants of the world have to bow down to me. Who are you? You are just a rascal. Are you qualified to pick on me?
Clank!
Soon, the bus arrived at the stop.
Claud got off the bus.
