Laughing, Isaacson Hartford hung up the call, and Susan was gritting her teeth at his shamelessness.‘What does it mean by what we've started?’ She thought in annoyance.Susan stared at her phone. She moved her gaze to Caspian, and he nodded.Caspian inserted his hands in his pants pocket, brought out a small device that couldn't be easily detected, and handed it to her.“Attach this to your bag and click the red button once he arrives at the venue. Don't worry, I've got everything planned out.”Caspian again reassured. Susan took a deep breath and decided she'd trust him.Besides, she had no other choice but to do so, as she had accepted his offer to end the frivolous, lackadaisical man.“Alright, I'll contact the number you gave me when I get there. Please do well to come in fast; I don't want to get into a scandal.”Susan reminded him, and Caspian smiled without saying a word.A smile that explains everything without the need to path his lips.A smile that could calm the brewing st

How about an upgrade? Caspian thought. He paused and stared at his reflection in the window of a car that was parked along the roadside. He looked down at his phone and felt more certain about how necessary an upgrade was required.“Hey, are you going somewhere?” a cab driver asked, his head poking out through his wind-down car window.“Yes, the central mall. If that isn't too far,” Caspian responded.“It's all about the money, boy. Hop in if you've got ten pounds.”“Man, that's a lot of charges for that distance. Cut it down…” Although he now had money, it didn't mean he should spend
“Hello, Mister, I'm sorry, but I don't think you belong in this section of the mall. This is a high-end store, and I'm not sure you can afford anything here.”Caspian raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the salesperson's rudeness. Excuse me? I'm just browsing, thank you very much. And I can afford whatever I want.”The salesperson smirked. “Really? Or do you just want to steal?”Caspian chuckled, amused by the salesperson's audacity. “Oh, wow, you really are something else. I'm just browsing, and you assume I'm a thief? That's rich.”The salesperson's smirk faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. “Well, excuse me for being cautious. We can't have just anyone in here, can we? Especially not someone dressed like you.”Caspian shrugged, unfazed. “I suppose not. But judging a book by its cover? Definitely poor judgment. Also, I'm not just anyone. I'm a paying customer, and I deserve some respect.”The salesperson snorted. “Respect? Do you think you deserve respect? You're probably
“There,” the head cook said while pointing to a tray of food on the countertop. “Take that, and go serve the customers at table sixteen. I am not sure why you can not keep time. Do not make me lose customers; otherwise, you know what will happen.” She insulted him with a berating and threatening expression. Caspian could only nod and bow, humiliated. His life had been difficult since he dropped out of college a year ago. He was unable to secure a suitable, well-paying job. He worked multiple jobs throughout the day to support himself and his girlfriend. Caspian said nothing, knowing what could happen if he argued with the head chef. He took the tray from the counter and strode over to table number sixteen, which happened to be the same table where the wealthy young men were gathered. * Time passed, the wealthy young men paid for their meals, and they were ready to leave. “Hey, Caspian. Go get the other trash bag and take it to the garbage truck down the street,” The head chef c
After being beaten to a pulp, Caspian could only drag his miserable self to secretly take the cleaning tools from the canteen.He couldn't walk well and kept on limping to and fro like a handicap. After successfully parking out every single bit of dirt from the floor, he headed over to return the tools.He knew he could not go back to work like that. The cruel head chef will take the opportunity and fulfill her long-desired wish—to fire him.So he was quick to make a call to her. The phone rang several times before it was finally answered. Then came her annoyed voice. “Caspian, why can't you just give me peace for a moment? Why won't you stop calling?” She yelled.Caspian had to take the phone some distance away from his ears, as he thought her shouting would end up being detrimental to his hearing. He gulped and replied with a painful cry.“So sorry, Mrs. Hartford, I'm unable to return to the canteen today because I got attacked by a bunch of burly guys on the way.”Mrs. Hartford,
Seeing Clayton lying in the middle of the canteen with scattered chairs and tables around him, Caspian's eyes widened in astonishment.He felt energy surge in him, and his body felt light. His vision became clearer, and the pain from the fall became less painful.Caspian still couldn't comprehend what was going on with him. Suddenly, he hears a voice in his head. It sounded metallic and robotic.< < < Hearing the words in his head, Caspian felt he was hallucinating.However, at the same time, he received a ding notification on his small phone. Checking through the message, Caspian's jaw dropped.He rubbed his eyes, not believing what he was seeing. His almost zero-dollar account now has one million dollars.‘How is this even possible?’Caspian thought, still gazing at the number of zeros after the one.{System Tasking: Caspian To unlock more income for your account, You need to make Bully, Clayton Davis, stop swearing within the next twenty-four hours.Your reward for completing th
Caspian groaned and stood up from the ground. His legs hurt him badly and he was unable to stand properly on both feet as he continued what he was doing, ignoring Clayton's words.Mrs. Hartford got enraged at Caspian's attitude. Walking up to him as fast as her heels could carry her, she pulled his shirt from behind and landed him a slap on the face.“How much more shameless Could you be?” She yelled looking furious.“How dare you ignore your new Boss? Do they not teach you respect from the slump you were brought up in?”:She questioned, slapping him again on his other cheeks.Caspian felt his eyeballs roll. The hit wasn't something he had anticipated.“Mrs. Hartford if only you could stop being mean for a moment. I'm not feeling well today, I'm quiet just to save myself some energy”Caspian deadpanned. He made to move away from the stunned head chef. However, she grapes his shirt and glares furiously at him.“Do you mean replying to us is exhausting your strength?How dare a lowlife b
Caspian turns and stares at Clayton. He did not think he was confident enough to make him stop saying abusive words.However, he could provoke him and then punch his face and bust his lips.That way, he won't be able to say abusive words. Caspian wasn't ready to lose this money coming his way.In his mind, he had already begun calculating the total amount of money that would be added to his account and how he was going to spend all of it.Caspian, as if he did not see Clayton bullying Jason, went and began cleaning up the canteen hall.From his side, he keeps his focus on Clayton to make sure he doesn't leave, as the System had only given him twelve hours to complete this new task.Diligently and carefully, Caspian cleans up the inner part of the hall until he gets to the door where Clayton is still standing and Berating Jason.Caspian drops the brush he is using to sweep, wipes his hands on his apron, and then raises his head to gaze at Clayton.Clayton scowled with knitted brows upo
