The days have passed, many things changed in the world, but the most important thing is the progress of the island. Smoking outside the house, I had a video call with everyone on the island. I started checking up on them one month after teaching, I missed them. "Master! When are you coming back?" Ele asked with a depressed tone.

"This week, I already talked to the dean about canceling the lectures later on." I smiled as I replied to them. "Hmph, You better be back soon, we haven't had a spar," Yama who was eating a whale on the side said sarcastically. "Haha! Of course, I will be back don't worry".

"Tell Emma we said hi," Rain said as she held her brother on the side waving the screen. "Ok, I need to leave now… bye" I smiled as I ended the call. I took out the upgrade card out of the inventory and began to play with it.

[You do not meet the requirement to use, Upgrade Card]

Sigh, this is boring. "System can you tell me what are the requirements?"

[You are limited to 5 questions per year (Earth Time)]

Tch, I walked into the house and didn't find Emma, she must have left with everyone to eat outside. I dialed Jax "Boss" He answered, "Update me on Emma and the others" I smiled as I asked. "Boss, they are having fun shopping and eating from time to time some sweets on the side."

"Careful not to allow any strangers next to them" I carefully reminded Jax. "Ok boss…" I ended the call there and sat on the couch.

"Rose, how is the gathering of all orphans going?" I asked Rose while leaving the phone next to me. "We have gathered 32,519 orphans, we began to distribute them to all of our companies branches, I have commanded several people to leave empty floors on each building for training and recommended several professional trainers to work there".

"Keep it up Rose, two lectures are left, and I will be back with everyone, I will ask Yu to keep Cao here until he graduates, and then we will send someone to pick him up." I ended my conversation with Rose.

Looking out the window, I felt comfortable which led me to lay on the couch and doze off to sleep. I didn't realize that I was sleeping as I felt relaxed on the couch.

After waking up from my light sleep, I noticed that it was 4:30 am. I stood up and got ready to exercise one last time. Leaving the house, I saw Jax standing with Fu Gang, "You weaklings ready?" I smiled as they jumped at me.

We trained in combat for 30 minutes in the garden before we began to jog outside, following us was a large number of old men and women who joined us after watching us for several months. "Young man, do you want me to introduce you to my daughter?" An old lady came next to me while huffing. "No thanks, I got a person already" I laughed as I encouraged them to change from jogging to running.

"Last lap!" I shouted at everyone, on every alley we passed, I saw several police officers keeping a lookout on the daily jogging. "Huff! Huff! Boss, we finally reached home", after reaching home, Jax began huffing hard. We split up with Fu on the previous alley as he needed to prepare for university.

"Go rest, tomorrow in the afternoon we will be leaving" I smiled and entered the house. Washing myself up fast, I left the house without eating breakfast as everyone was deep in their sleep. It was 7:30 am, reaching the university I noticed that it is triple the number of people now.

"Mr. Ace! The stage is prepared" Dean Hu walked next to me smiling, "We will begin early today, there is an important thing I want to talk about today" I said to Hu as I walked on the stage.

"Morning everyone!" I stood up on the stage and greeted everyone. "Today will be the most important lecture in your lives and mine. We have discussed everything about the business, economics, finance, marketing, and the international level… but we didn't discuss the vital point of it all."

The lecture started earlier, and the cameras were broadcasting late, people from all over the world were watching this. It was free to watch online, on tv and every single large screens, reason? They benefited from it.

I looked up and said "Why are we learning? What is the importance of it? Will it give us a better chance in the future to achieve better results than our predecessors?"

No one was able to answer, everyone was silent thinking, "No need to think, the answer is there is no importance in it 'Now' but later on, let us say a doctor that graduated by cheating, cheated on everything and at that moment where he had to operate on someone, how will he deal with it? He might as well just kill his patient right?" I smiled as I shook my head.

"Same goes with any other occupation, you can try to find shortcuts… it will work now but what about later on? When you need to use your knowledge to achieve results? There might be no shortcuts later on as you have closed your path to success at that moment!" I paced back and forth as I shouted.

"You either work hard now! Today! Do not think about yesterday, do not think about what happened 1 second ago but what will happen during the moment of this second!" I stopped walking and breathed in some air before turning my head towards the people watching this, "This is the world of business, the world of knowledge, the world of information… Whoever has the knowledge… has the world."

The people were shocked, one student stood up and began clapping, followed by everyone else. Clap! Clap! Clap! The people applauded for me, but I still wasn't satisfied, "Stop!" I waved my hands and went towards a chair to sit at.

"All I want to tell you all is that you all started from the same line, no one is 'talented,' and no one is a 'genius' there is only hard workers… do not belittle yourselves," I patted my chest as I sat on the chair, "If you think you are a failure get out now, what I see in everyone is a fire burning for survival, survival to become better than yourself in the past, you are all perfect." I stood up and walked down the stage leaving a silent crowd behind.

"Take me home, Jax" My emotions were in rambles, tomorrow lecture will be a test without me being there… SIgh, I said everything I wanted to say to myself to others.

[Requirement has been met for the upgrade card, would you like to proceed? Y/N]

'No'

I will use it when I reach the island, "Jax, tell them to prepare the plane well tomorrow, get your men to leave tomorrow morning while you will accompany us, you have achieved your job in perfection so I will have you enter the island with us", Jax looked excited but replied "Yes Boss, thank you!"

Sigh… "Kuku, master I want to fight Yama first!" the voice came out startling Jax but he didn't ask, I smiled and replied to Asura "I will beat him first."

Back at the island, Yama sneezed for a bit "Who is talking behind my back?!" he looked at everyone who was training on the beach.
