"What the hell! Why are you arresting me?!" Bachdim screamed in disgust as several policemen grabbed them all.Alex was dragged away by one of the policemen, while Bachdim needed two policemen to carry him away, as he kept wriggling like a worm in heat."We did it in a bar! Is it illegal now?!" shouted Bachdim, still refusing to get into the police car. The others had been taken away earlier, leaving just Alex and Bachdim.They were to be placed in one car, but Bachdim continued to rebel."Just so you know, this bar should have been closed down! The owner has committed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fraud and his bar has been banned from operating. So, we will follow the law for all activities inside. Understood?" the policeman explained in a voice that was rising with emotion. Bachdim continued to rebel until they were both overwhelmed."Now get into this car or the bullet in my waist will act!" he threatened.Bachdim was forced into the police car and Alex followed beside

The days passed quickly, unknowingly bringing Alex to the day of the fall festival.Alex always remembered Lucia's happy face and cheerful voice when announcing the event. So today, the two of them would come together. That's right, the three of them, because Bianca was coming too.After putting on a scarf and beanie for Bianca, Lucia also fixed Alex's coat and buttoned it up properly. The air was much bitter today, so Lucia wanted to make sure none of them got hypothermia."Are you ready?" Lucia asked. Bianca nodded happily, while Alex smiled. "Let's get going then."Alex opened the taxi door for the two and they set off for the town of Parkerburg. The festival was held right near the famous overpass as a tourist spot."Are there lots of delicious cakes?" asked Bianca. She sat between Alex and Lucia, looking enthusiastic as she played with her stuffed rabbit."Of course. There are lots of cute and sweet treats," Lucia replied, pinching Bianca's cheeks."Then I'd like to buy everythin

Alex walked down the hallway and arrived at a large room like a soccer stadium, circular in shape with a sandy arena in the center. It was the place where Alex would fight. The system humans were seated on chairs arranged in tiers, facing right into the arena.The cheers of the incoming system humans were loud, bouncing off the concrete walls surrounding the venue. Alex took a nervous breath, then stepped out of the aisle.That's when a light shone on him. Then across the arena, another light highlighted his opponent's whereabouts.That man! He still wore the silver mask, with the armor now complementing his body. His dark eyes stared right at Alex and despite the mask, Alex somehow felt that the man was grinning."Good evening everyone!" shouted a burly man who stepped into the center of the arena. That's when the lights came on and revealed his figure as an intermediate referee.Alex stared in amazement at the thousands of system humans in attendance, it seemed that not a single sea

"All those coins for me?""Of course, Master. They are the reward for your victory over our cyborg human."Alex's mouth formed a perfect 'O' with a look of amazement. The mountain of coins in front of him seemed to be as much as what he got when fighting monsters.The system panel then displayed Alex's power coins which had returned to 'unlimited' mode.Well, it could be said that his previous struggle was very stressful. Although the side of Alex's face was almost destroyed, he thought the reward was really worth it. After all, when he returned to the real world, his condition would be restored.Next, he would enter the tasks at level 23, which would definitely be much more challenging.Alex then returned to the real world and arrived right in front of the Verg family home. The sudden sound of an owl almost made him jump on the spot. He checked the clock, it was exactly seven in the evening.His hand spontaneously rose to touch the side of his face, there were no more cuts and stab w

"His assistant said that Mr. Angelo will be waiting for you at a five-star restaurant in the city center, sir. I have sent the full address.""I understand. Thank you, Missi," Alex said, glancing at the clock on the office wall-it was two in the afternoon. He went to Bi's office first to keep Lucia company, then he would meet Angelo after changing.Angelo wanted a private meeting, rather than an official business meeting involving their assistants. From what Alex had read, Angelo was the type of person who took business very seriously, although he often looked casual in his T-shirts and shorts.He hung up the phone and hurried to his private room, where Missi had prepared the necessary files. Afterward, Alex went straight back to his old home to change.A five-star restaurant that stood majestically looked deserted after being rented by Angelo. He deliberately left the restaurant empty so that the two of them could talk freely, without being noticed by others.They could have met in a
