Chapter 26: Overthinking
The rest of the one week resting time quickly flew by as all Anthony did was go for classes, sleep or waste his time on phones and laptops and playing games, he wanted to invents apps here that were popular back on earth but after some thought he forgot about it, though social media could be used to control the information masses received and can be used to manipulate the masses and make money but he saw no need for that since he was already too rich, his family was rich and they could also control information, he would simply be wasting his time and creating more work for himself for such thankless task
Within the days people started flocking Tiara and were bootlicking since they found out the Vice president took her as a disciple so everyone wanted to make friends and form connections but she simply ignored everyone as usual
She had no time for any of it as she spent time on only classes, library and training, and cultivation, she simply had no time to make fake friends or interact too much or a certain white haired human would increase the gap
As for Bryan he became quiet as usual after his loss, but his brother Keron kept glaring at Anthony whenever he saw him as if he wanted to put a lead through his skull but Anthony simply ignored him
Until now children from other five families hasn’t struck up any kind of conversation with Anthony which surprised him, but he guessed their pride must run too deep, even after consecutive display of his strength they still refused to think of themselves lower.
Of course Anthony didn’t see a wrong at any of this, it’s not like he wants someone to gravel at his feet because he is rank 1, he always reminded himself of his past life in other not to get arrogant because of a small power which the being can just decide to take away at any moment if it so decides and Anthony would just revert back to zero
As Anthony had the thought of the being taking away his power he became restless
Though he convinced himself that the being won’t do that to him or stoop that low, Anthony didn’t want to make any bets on that, he remembered the being played with him for a little while and compensated him, but what if this time the being took away his power or seals it away and he becomes trash, then the being comes back years later and compensates him.
This wasn’t any different than other novels he read in his first life where they would suffer for almost twenty years then ascend the heavens in one step, or they were already ascending the heavens, then they become crippled for some years, then they come back cured and reascend again, he was already ascending, there was no need to reascend again.
Anthony didn’t want to go through any of this at all no matter the compensation he would be given, he can’t endure the humiliation he would receive after sitting at the first rank, the disgrace to his father, grandparents, especially his mother whom he loved too well, and was ready to burn down the world for her.
This gave Anthony sleepless nights, even sometimes when he manages to sleep, he woke up due to nightmare of becoming a cripple and falling from grace.
