Chapter 51: Feelings of Guilt
"What are you guys doing? Someone, hurry up and help Mr Waylen," a teacher shouted."That's right. Quick, get me a bandage."Eventually, everyone started to get busy with Bruce's injuries. Unfortunately, since they were just ordinary teachers, none knew how to treat Bruce's injuries."Everyone, stop! Mr Wilhelm, can you get me some bandages and medical alcohol from the infirmary?" asked Bruce, smiling while holding his injured palm."Of course." Thiago headed straight for the medical room."Zara, why were you so rude earlier?""Yes, look what you did to Bruce.""Isn't Bruce your student? Why are you hurting him? Look at his blood. Ah, I feel dizzy..."Everyone started blaming Zara for her actions.Zara looked at Bruce guiltily. Although she wanted to say something, Zara didn't know how. She just lowered her head and stared at the floor limply."All right. Don't blame Miss Christine anymore. I'm sure she didn't do

Chapter 52: Attention People
Bruce deliberately prolonged the end of his sentence to emphasise the last word. As Bruce forced the tone of his voice to sound critical, a tinge of red coloured Zara's face because she knew his naughty intentions."What do you mean?" Zara gave an exasperated look to Bruce, and she said in a slightly flirtatious tone.Bruce just sulked. "I just want you to buy me a meal. Is that too hard for you?"Bruce's response surprised Zara. She realised that he was playing a trick on her. Zara threw a used towel at Bruce's face and complained, "You're quite a clever young man, aren't you? How dare you make fun of your teacher, even under these circumstances?"Bruce lifted the disinfectant-soaked towel off his face. He then reached into the first aid kit for a white sheet."Mr Hammer regards me as his teacher. So, shouldn't you do the same?" This sentence made Zara chuckle."That's enough for now. Hurry up and bandage that wound of yours." Zara glared a

Chapter 53: Uninvited Guests
Under the midnight light, Bruce and Zara were on their way home. Coincidentally, the pasta place was still open when they passed by.GRRR!Bruce's stomach rumbled. The sound echoed in the silent night and could be heard from afar."Since the place isn't closed yet, let's go to the restaurant that time," Zara giggled as she covered her mouth."Sure. I haven't eaten anything all day." Bruce nodded because he was starving.When they entered the pasta place, Arturito was cleaning up. He was shocked to see the two of them."It's getting late. Are you here to eat?""Exactly. I'm hungry. Please serve me spaghetti!"There were no customers in the restaurant. Bruce and Zara chose a table randomly. Arturito immediately took out two bowls of pasta and served them. Bruce realised he was awkward because he watched from outside the restaurant."Enjoy. If you want more, let me know. I'll wash the dishes now." Arturito smiled at them before returning to the kitchen.There were only Bruce and Zara in

Chapter 54: The Fight Happens
It fell on the thugs, hitting them right on the head, causing them to bleed and fall to the pavement. The others were utterly dumbfounded."What the hell was that? Who threw the flowerpot?" Derek shouted while pointing at the buildings on both sides of the street.However, most of the residents would have been asleep by then. They wouldn't have dared to come out even if they weren't."Let me give you some advice. God is watching, understand? Why don't you guys get a job?" Bruce crossed his arms and spoke with a faint smile."What are you waiting for? Attack him!" Jacob ordered."Ready!" One shithead tried to come forward.BRUCK!A moment later, his head was hit by something, and it knocked him to the ground."J-Jacob... there seems to be a ghost." The other shitheads instantly lost the courage to fight Bruce."Ghosts? I'm not afraid of ghosts. Those ghosts will only feel the blow if they see me." Jacob strolled towards B

Chapter 55: Zara's Reaction
Hesitantly, Zara looked at Arturito and then at Bruce as she pursed her lips. "It's probably just a coincidence." Zara felt that something was wrong based on what Bruce had said earlier. However, as a virtuous person, Zara wanted to think positively about everything. Arturito clenched his fists and avoided Bruce's gaze. Finally, the man sat down opposite Bruce and said, "Sorry. I- I was the one who called them." Bruce's facial expression remained unchanged. He continued to stare at Arturito. Meanwhile, Zara was still staring at Arturito in disbelief. Zara could not believe that the man in front of her, whom Bruce had helped before, would do something like this. She was sure that all of this was just a coincidence. "Why? Why did you betray us? We're the ones who helped you!" Zara angrily exclaimed while biting her lip. Arturito held his head in both palms and said weakly, "I have no choice. I have a family. My son is in kindergarten. They are using my son to threaten us. They wa

Chapter 56: Consequences
Zara's behaviour in Bruce's presence lately has been uncharacteristic of a teacher. Bruce was eager to know where Zara lived. Because his right palm was injured,Bruce was unable to shower and could only wipe his body. After that, he flung himself onto his bed. Bruce had just remembered about the Borrow Feature. It was appropriate to help him at that critical moment.Bruce remembers suddenly getting access to the Borrow Feature when Jack was in trouble.Bruce became even more curious about the System. Although considered artificial intelligence, it behaved like a human by helping the user at critical times. Users were given access to certain functions.However, with Bruce's current ability, he can do nothing with the System and only take one step at a time."System, since I already got 2 Expertise Points earlier. How many Expertise Points do I still have now?"System: "Remaining 4 Expertise Points to pay off the loan."Bruce immediate

Chapter 57: Dropping the Ego
"Zara, I didn't expect that your student would be your neighbour."Arthur was driving while occasionally glancing at Bruce and Zara through the rear-view mirror. At that moment, Arthur cursed inwardly for feeling so frustrated and helpless.Arthur mused, "My original plan was to meet Zara and apologise to her for what happened yesterday. In fact, I deliberately drove my new car to make the atmosphere favourable. But in the end, I ended up being the driver for the two passengers sitting in the back.""Yes. Last night, I didn't expect such a coincidence either," Zara said with a smile.Arthur hesitated momentarily, then said quietly, "Zara, about yesterday...""Since we've been friends since childhood, let's just say that yesterday never happened," Zara said with a smile.Upon hearing that, Arthur was relieved. Then, with a faint smile, the man said, "What do you think of my new car, Zara?"System: "Mission: Users should not have to tolerate show-offs. You must show off to Arthur Elias

Chapter 58: Ego is a Drug
"Listen, Zara." Arthur was about to sit beside Zara when Bruce shouted, "Food's here. Come on, everyone. Let's eat!"Arthur weaved his way between the teachers carrying a large plate of food, much more than the others. He even brought a chair and sat on it.The other teachers only took wheat porridge or bread, while Bruce's meal looked filling. Bruce even ordered caviar for himself.Everyone was astonished to see Bruce. Some of them were even drooling at the sight of the food on Bruce's plate.Bruce smiled and patted Arthur's shoulder. "What did you guys order? Come on, don't underestimate Mr Elias like that. He's famous in Carthage High School for being rich, handsome, and capable! Did you all see that car parked outside? That's Mr Elias' car, and it costs around 76,000 dollars."Bruce lowered his voice and continued, "I will share a secret with you all. Many of his female students really like him, and since Mr Elias is treating us today, we don't

Chapter 59: Treated Low
"What? Eighteen thousand dollars?""I can't believe this breakfast cost $18,000. It's almost a year of my salary!""C-could this be a mistake?"Although teaching is a splendid profession, their salary is only average. Only the rich can afford an $18,000 luxury breakfast.At that moment, everyone's gaze shifted and centred on Arthur. In a split second, the servers surrounded their table, seemingly trying to prevent them from leaving."Sir, are you going to pay with cash or a card? I've asked many times. Are you planning to leave without paying?" The cashier looked at Arthur with amusement as he spoke.Zara furrowed her brows as she looked at Arthur. "Arthur, what the hell is going on?"Zara thought Arthur had brought enough money, judging by his behaviour earlier. After all, everyone knew how expensive the food at the restaurant was."I... I could use this coupon here, but I didn't realise that the limit was only $1,500," she st

Chapter 60: Credit Cards Without Limits
The dumbfounded teachers and cashiers stared at Bruce with their mouths open. They never thought that the manager would waive their bills.System: "You have received a total of 106 Pretend Points. There is no doubt that you are the best at pretending."Upon hearing the insinuation, Bruce had the urge to curse the System. However, at that time, he was still baffled.Bruce had planned to pay his bill and leave immediately. That plan also seemed to be an act of pretence. Although he might lose money because of it, it was much better than losing Expertise Points.Clearing his throat, Bruce looked at the manager in confusion. "Sir, I don't understand the situation. Are you sure that this is all for free?"The manager nodded and pointed to the unlimited credit card in Bruce's hand. "Sir, you don't need to pretend ignorance anymore. Since you have the card, I guess you understand what it's for.""Oh, that's right! How careless of me!" Bruce said wi
