When Lucian couldn't take his gaze off Veronica, Billy moved closer to her with a smirk playing on his lips. "Why are you standing there like a frozen fool?!" Billy voices ridicule while placing his hand across Veronica's shoulder. Lucian felt his throat tighten with no response. "Do you think someone as pathetic as you deserve someone like Veronica Montez? It is funny how you think she was dating you when she was mine all along," Billy chuckled proudly."W…what are you talking about?" Lucian's voice was small. He couldn't believe what Billy said; he knew how corny and deceiving he was. "That's a lie. You're forcing Veronica to say those words!"Billy laughed, and Veronica rolled her eyes, irritated at Lucian's behavior of not accepting the truth to end his humiliation."Nobody is forcing anyone here, Lucian. It is you who is forcing yourself not to accept the reality that you're a failure," The crowd rumbled with laughter—making Lucian's body crawl with a shiver, electrifying the ha

Lucian glanced through the system, and his mouth watered at different abilities he didn't know were possible on Earth. He was excited to test all of them but discovered he needed more points, and his current balance was 10000 SP with a 10 SP spending limit."How do I gain System Points and increase my spending limit?" Lucian asked, noticing that the mind-reading ability cost 10,000 points, which he considered above his spending limit."You can gain more system points by completing tasks provided by the system. Difficult tasks would require using unique abilities available at the system store. Successful tasks would lead to an increase in system points; One complete task equals 10000 system points. Your spending limit would also be increased depending on the difficulties of the task. One failed task would decrease 10000 system points, and If you don't have any system points during a failed task, it would result in physical punishment." Viri explained, and Lucian nodded his head in unde

Lucian frowns. "What are you doing here? How did you get in?" his voice was cold as he walked past her. The familiar smell of her perfume lingered around his nose, making his heart sting. It took all his strength to appear emotionless. It seemed facing her was harder than he had thought. "It wasn't locked," Veronica replied, while her eyes examined the room before they landed on Lucain's face. She didn't see any hint of pain in his eyes, so Veronica heaved a sigh and dropped the box she held. "I can return the things you gave. They are cheap, and I don't need them."Lucian clenched his fist and let out a scoff. "Why didn't you just burn them instead of bringing them here," Lucain's voice was so icy that it caught Veronica off guard. She shivered, making Lucian notice she was wearing a handless crop top. The thought of her catching a cold crossed his mind, but he struggled and shook the thought from his mind. She was no longer his business; he didn't need to care for her."I thought y

"I want to buy the mall," Lucian's voice filled the room while his figure relaxed into his chair. Through Mrs. Davis's transparent glasses, Lucian could see the Lady trying to get over her shock. Mrs.Davisthought Lucian might have an issue that requires the manager's attention, considering his intense conversation with Henry. Mrs.Davis shot him a skeptical look." Excuse me?" Her tone was sharp, indicating her business character.Lucian let out a long sigh and repeated. "I want to buy the Universal Mall," he replied, placing his hand underneath his jaw. The Lady scanned his face for any hint of jok but saw that Lucian was serious. Though Lucian was confident and wore a subtle intimidating aura, his current sense of fashion didn't fit into the business world, which made Mrs.Davis doubt he might be a scammer.Lucian noticed that Mrs.Davis was suspicious of him, but she didn't say anything, which meant she was a businesswoman trying to play safe."I never took an interest in the mall b

Lucian strode out of the elevator, going to the VIP sections where he intended to shop. The smile that danced on his lips was evident. He is now the proud owner of a seven-million-dollar condo, a three-million-dollar car, and a twenty-billion-dollar Mall. The thought made Lucian want to scream, but he kept cool as this was just the beginning of his life. He was now rich, and nobody will ever look down on him again. For those who humiliated and looked down on him in the past, he will make them pay individually."Good day to you, sir," Henry, who focused on his phone, greeted Lucian without glancing at him. "Welcome to the universal-" His words seized the moment his eyes left the phone screen and lingered on Lucian. Henry's face wrinkles into a frown, not hiding his distaste. "What are you doing here? I thought you were arrested already," Henry growled.Lucian glances at Henry and shakes his head. The joy in his heart makes him dismiss the thought of firing the rude employee, so he deci
