《Making of a Gentleman》Chapter-25: Ripple
Advertisement
John was dumbfounded .’What the fuck? Why is he acting differently today?’
Before John could answer ,Erika called him “John come back .We are leaving.”
Luke raised his eyebrows for the first time .’Her figure is not bad ,can be compared to celestial girls in Devata Realm’ Although she was his previous body’s cousin ,he didn’t care. He looked at her from top to bottom and licked his lips.
Erika felt shivers down her spine when she looked at Luke’s expression. She felt like she was not looking at a human anymore but some kind of monster. She looked at her grandfather for one last time but she was disappointed again .He was not even looking at her and gave a feeling like he was looking at stranger .
She could have asked her grandfather for his reason to behave like that but she didn’t want to hear it as she was afraid that it would ruin all her previous memories of him. She wanted to held on to that memories that once gave her sense of warmth and security.
She controlled her tears desperately which was threatening to come out at any moment .Without waiting for John anymore ,she stormed of to her room in a hurry. John went after Erika after glancing one last time at Old man ,who looked at him as if he saw him first time.
Jaden saw both of them running and turned to Dara. “Uncle Dara , lets announce to the entire world that I will be taking over Martin group from tomorrow onwards.”
Dara didn’t care about power or money .He left everything to Jaden .”Sure ,whatever you need.”
Jaden nodded casually “Soon I will create a powerful team that only answer to you . They should have latest technology ,famous scientists that will be able track anyone and anything in the world.”
Without asking anything .Both knew each others need and tasks. They were doing this for centuries so, they had an unbelievable understanding towards each other.
Dara nodded and asked in a dead pan manner “ How should we deal with them?”
Jaden smiled in a sinister way “Her looks and temperament are to my liking . Lets keep her alive for now .As far as that talkative guy, I will finish him off soon.”

Dara didn’t have any opinion “Let’s hope that we find our target at least this time around. All we need to do is wait for a ripple that is big enough and find the source as quickly as possible.”
Jaden asked curiously “What kind of ripple are we expecting?”
Dara stroked his beard and said “I don’t know but it should be something that is revolutionary to the people of Earth .”
Jaden laid back on sofa and relaxed “We have encountered some famous guys like Albert Einstein , Karl Marx but no one seemed to have that microchip. How do we know that one has microchip?”
Dara also felt frustrated .They had possessed countless popular guys but couldn’t find what they were looking for.
“I think when we try to possess that person we would encounter some kind of resistance .Since he is the successor of the supreme authority of Sun school.”
Jaden nodded in understanding. “I wonder where is that guy now ? When does the ripple start”
Unfortunately the person they were looking for walked right past them a moment ego but both of them didn’t even bother to possess John as they ruled him out with disdain.
The ripple both of them looking forward to already started in a small colony where John was stayed . Chris who had waited for the chocolates that day received John’s parcel in time but he chose to not to eat it.
Because for the first time in his life he found people caring for him so much .Earlier he was beaten everyday and scolded for anything and everything but now his parents looked at him in a pleasing way . Chris started enjoying that feeling so much so that he already stopped looking forward to any kind of material reward for his behaviors.
Chris’s Mom proudly shared her son’s change in behaviors to her neighbors and received heaps of prices. Suddenly Chris became a role model for every kid in the colony . Chris shared his experience to anyone who asked him ,this increased his popularity even more.
Every Mom in the colony started giving rewards for their kids if they followed what Chris had been doing. Interestingly in a couple of days the entire colony was changed . If John came back he would be so shocked that he would slap his own face to check whether he was really in his colony or his dream.

Because the naughty kids he used to see suddenly turned into charming kids with extreme polite attitudes. Parents were no longer felt a barrier between them and their kids. Kids started hugging their parents openly and say sweet things ‘love you mom ‘ , ‘miss you dad’ . Parents would smile ear to ear and cry their eyes out with love and emotions.
The entire colony in a few days turned into one big family. People started sharing stuff without any selfishness. Domestic violence replaced by warmth and love .Parents rekindled their lost love through the words of their kids.
Grandma who helped John that day was dumbfounded at the changes in her colony. She was eager to introduce John who was the source to all the changes but she couldn’t find him. Without knowing how to express her happiness .Every day she would clean John’s house voluntarily.
John didn’t know that his simple act of teaching Values had changed an entire colony in a few days. He was busy consoling Erika . He knew that Erika was devastated and the only person she could depend on was him .
“Dear don’t cry. I am sure Old man is doing some prank or planning some stuff to take down Luke.”
Erika who controlled her tears back in the living room, burst out without holding anything back. She embraced John and cried like a baby . John didn’t mind that his entire shirt was drenched in water. He simply stood there and let her cry.
After a long time ,Erika looked at John’s eyes ,who in turn looking at her back . “Sorry your shirt is ruined by me.”
John was surprised .He knew it was probably first time in Erika’s entire life saying sorry. She was very tough girl who didn’t even bother to say thank you when he saved her. But now she was willing to say sorry for a trivial matter .John realized at that moment that he had reached a place in her heart that not even his grandfather had ever reached.
John couldn’t help but smile at her lovely face which was full of tears. He gently stroked her hair and said “Its OK , its just a T-shirt. Your tears are more valuable than anything in this world. “
Erika was moved by his sweet words . She hugged him back like a small kitten . “John , will you leave me like my grandpa one day?”
John was shuddered by her question . He understood how hard it might be loosing the love from the person you had depended on for the entire life. It’s just like one day a mother telling her son ,I don’t love you anymore . Worst thing is Erika had to live in the same roof with the person she lost love.
John said in a low voice “Are you willing to come to my home? I know it’s not even a 1% compared to your home. But you will not have to see the Old man again and again and feel sad.”
Erika nodded without any thought. John helped her to go to sleep and silently prepared to go to his room.
[Congratulations user, you have gained 20 experience points for love and sympathy .Eva hopes that User would continue to work hard]
[Congratulations user, you have gained 2000 experience points .Eva hopes that User would continue to work hard]
John was shocked senseless and stood rooted at his spot ‘2000points? Eva what happened?’
[Dear user , it seems like some kind of ripple has been created by your earlier act of helping Chris in your colony]
‘What is a ripple exactly?’
[Dear user , in simple terms it happens when you help a person and that person helps few more people and those few people help more people. This cycle continues on and on just like a ripple created when a stone falls in a lake]
John was astonished . ‘So I can create points like this also, ah? Then lets create ripples in every part of the world.’
