The next day, Ryan was busy cleaning the house and preparing breakfast for Violet and his in-laws, who had been sitting by the kitchen table since early morning. It was a rare occurrence, really. They seldom set foot on the kitchen tiles, let alone not let him out of their gazes. Their presence alone made Ryan’s nerves on alert. What were they planning? “You scum,” Marissa called him, voice croaked like a toad, and eyes red with heavy bags under them. He did not get her a glass of water as usual, deeming she could take it herself if only she walked three steps to her left. “What did you do to get all of that money?” Ryan looked at his mother-in-law over his shoulder. “What money?” “The money you bought Vernest with!” Ryan hummed as he scrambled the eggs on the pan. He tried a new recipe, hoping that Violet would like it. “What are you talking about? I don’t really have any money, Mother.” Marissa bristled as he called her by that. But,

12. I’m Violet's Husband

The Revenger's System/Aliast

The funkily-dressed crew member spat and coughed hard, not believing what he just heard. “You’re what?! Violent Violet’s husband?!”‘Violent Violet?’Peeep![Mission Objective: 1/100 people.][Time Left: 59 minutes.]Shit.Ryan hurried to correct himself. “Kidding,” he smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m her new manager. It’s my first day.”The lie was easier to say and believe. The funky crew member’s shocked face slowly melts into a neutral face. “That’s not funny, sir.”“My name’s Ryan Wilder,” he offered his hand to shake. “I guess you’re a crew here?”“Yes. Matthew Sweeney from Costume and Wardrobe Department.” The funky crew member grasped it. “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wilder. Nice watch.”Ryan gave a small smile, but tried to hide his l

13. The King’s Aura

The Revenger's System/Aliast

Peeep![Mission Objective: 98/100 people.][Time Left: 23 minutes.]Only two more people and he’d complete the mission.Ryan’s laugh broke the set. Everyone looked at him as if he truly had gone crazy. “So-sorry…” he chuckled, “I was lying.”“What?”“I was lying.”Everyone in the set sighed, grumbling to themselves. “You’re not Violet’s husband?”Oh, he really was Violet’s husband, Ryan wanted to say. He just chuckled and introduced himself then. “I’m Violet’s new manager.”He didn’t know why he said that specifically, but it was more believable to be honest. She had no manager for the last two months, and he got a reason to be here. But then again, he was actually afraid of Violet if she found out about his spontaneous announcement.The director cleared his throat, “I never see you

14. Only Possible Buyer Allowed, You Say?

The Revenger's System/Aliast

The bright yellow Pikachu watch around him showed it was nearing six o'clock. Today's shooting had ended about an hour ago, but Violet had yet to emerge from the makeup trailer after catching up with the other cast members.Ryan sat under a tree while keeping his gaze on the makeup trailer's door. He didn't want to miss his wife's departure.His phone's battery had run out hours ago before lunch. It was second-hand, he picked it up from the floor after the Crowne's youngest son, Florent, threw a tantrum and smashed his phone to pieces. Thankfully, after he repaired it himself, the phone still functioned, despite not to its maximum capacity.Either way, it wasn't like Violet would reply to his texts. She'd only text him if she truly needed him to do something.Almost half an hour later, the makeup trailer's door opened, and five girls emerged from it. He spotted a blonde beauty and rushed to meet her halfway in the parking lot. Violet pretended she didn't

15. I’ll Buy A Pony If You Sell One

The Revenger's System/Aliast

In three minutes, the salesgirl’s dubious gaze had transformed into a surprised one. She handed the black, sleek car’s key to Ryan, face red with embarrassment. “It’s a pleasure doing business with you, sir.”Of course, TEETS had taken care of the transaction for him.Twirling the car’s key in his hand, the security finally took his leave. Like the salesgirl, he looked shocked that someone as badly dressed as Ryan could pay for such a fine car. The only difference was that he got to leave, so he didn’t have to be pent his embarrassment.On the other hand, the salesgirl was stuck here. Her red face and stiff shoulders showed that he wanted Ryan to leave the dealership. She treated Ryan rudely, despite not knowing what he was capable of.Perhaps, if Ryan had come to the dealership a week ago, the salesgirl would kick his arse, and he’d done nothing. It wasn’t his place. But with TEETS’ presence, he

16. The Last Meals I Cook for You

The Revenger's System/Aliast

A middle-aged married couple was waiting by the terrace on one fine night. Disgruntlement was clear on their face as they sat on the lavish wooden chair for almost an hour. Their attention was pulled to the gate. It was left open since their useless son-in-law left to bring their beloved daughter’s script to set. And since their lovely Violet was forced to marry that homeless scum, they had fired the security and maids. Thankfully, their house was pretty far from other houses, and the neighborhood was secured, with zero reports of criminal activity.Dashing through the open gate, a cold green sports car rounded the fountain in front of the house. It slowed down, letting both Marissa and Robert examine the vehicle. It was sleek and oozed luxury, with its race-car look, it would be a beast on the street.Robert wasn’t a car enthusiast, but he knew quite a lot that the car in front of him was Aston Martin’s newest product, Valkyrie Spider.

17. Betting His Life

The Revenger's System/Aliast

Ryan was heading to his own bedroom, the one previously owned by the fired housekeeper, when someone grabbed his arm and tugged him in the opposite direction."Violet–"She didn't let him speak and just shoved him to the wall. He was surprised that he couldn't react fast enough as the blonde beauty pressed her hand around his neck, pinning him there. "Who are you?"Ryan tried to get her hand away, but Violet quickly circled his right wrist and pinned it too beside his head. He could push her away, or do some dirty tricks since he was taller than Violet, so he'd have longer reach. But he was not that despicable, so he just put his hand around the one she held his neck with. "What are you–""I'm the one questioning you. Answer me."Instead of doing as he was told, Ryan asked TEETS for some clarification. 'Is King's Aura no longer active?'TEETS didn't waste time. Its mechanical sound and floating transparent panel soon appeared.

18. Ryan's First Day Off

The Revenger's System/Aliast

The Crowne’s residence was strangely out of order today.Unlike before, no one had the initiative to clean the house or make breakfast. The task for it fell on Ryan. At least, before he stood up for himself and refused to do whatever his in-laws and wife told him to.Before hell broke loose – with Marissa screaming when she found yesterday’s trash and Robert calling for breakfast – Ryan had left the house pretty early in the morning. He was in no mood to deal with his in-laws.On the other hand, Violet would take the hint from yesterday and wouldn’t expect him to do the previous work. But it didn’t mean she’d just let him slip like that. She’d drag him to hell just because she could if he didn’t do anything. So, Ryan decided he’d search for someone to do the job his in-laws dropped on him.That being said, Ryan drove out of the city in his new green Spider.“TEETS, where’s the

19. Fighting A War Veteran

The Revenger's System/Aliast

The mad cook merely laughed. Lifting his hand, he pointed his gun at Ryan’s face again. “Stop interfering with my fight.”He said a strange thing. Could it be that Bill saw something else? Hallucinating, perhaps?“There’s no fight here, Bill. We’re in a restaurant, enjoying breakfast that you make.”“Lies!” Bill’s anger rose like a rocket. “There’s fights everywhere, you can’t fool me!”Ryan thought about how to solve this. It wouldn’t end in a good way if he didn’t solve this. The police would probably arrest the cook, and his life would spiral down even further. That wasn’t what the veteran needed. Help, he had to give it.“How about this,” Ryan shot an idea, “I bet I can take the gun from your hand in one minute.”“You’re weak. Impossible.”“Humor me, then. If I can do it, you have to

20. Hunting Kid Driver

The Revenger's System/Aliast

Heading to a place called Pink B!kini was not something Ryan thought he’d do someday. Let alone with the intention of looking for a runaway kid named Cinos.[Please turn left 100 yards from here.][The destination is on your right.]Ryan slowed the car, and didn’t want to miss it. Turning 180 degrees on this narrow road would be a pain in the neck. Indeed, he wasn’t in the middle of the city, so the street was not that big. It was two lanes, shared with the cars coming from opposite directions, but the junks littered on either side was a big hassle.Looking to his right, Ryan soon found the building named Pink B!kini. Covered by vulgar and sarcastic graffiti, it was hard to know what color the building’s paint was at first. Mostly, it was dominated by shades of pink, like its namesake. Two entrances in its front.The rolling door was closed, so he went to the rickety door after he parked the green Spider in front. The area w
