Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 21 - This Is Everyone's Dream!
Nevertheless, that spotlight of hatred didn't last long because the superstar then immediately shifted his gaze towards Lily and took slow steps towards her. As his steps drew closer to the girl, all the audience held their breath, waiting with great excitement and wondering what the superstar would do. Until now, Ben was known to rarely pay special attention to a girl, especially when on stage. Seeing how the superstar looked at Lily, everyone could tell it was something different from what he usually showed all this time. Especially for the girls in the stands, their feelings became more uncertain as they observed Ben's body language. They bit their lips to refrain from screaming hysterically in case the superstar chose the girl in the maroon red dress as his duet partner. Ben stood right in front of Lily, just about a meter away. And as everyone anticipated, the superstar bent one knee and took Lily's hand. Smooch! A warm kiss landed on the back of the girl's hand, almost
Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 22 - A Support from the Legend?
“With every whispered word, and every gentle touch, you mend the broken pieces, with love that means so much.” Lily sang the second line of the verse. Her melodious voice turned out to be quite capable of matching Ben's legendary voice. When they reached the chorus, the strongest and most melodious part of the song, they sang it together. “Oh, my love, you are the melody to my soul, and in your embrace, I find myself whole.” The audience listening to their duet felt themselves sinking deeper into the powerful emotions of love. Some of them began to shed tears from the corners of their eyes, while others reminisced about the romantic moments they had experienced in the past. In short, the song "Engraved Love" brought back the most beautiful memories of their lives. Four minutes later, all the audience stood up from their seats and applauded enthusiastically after the two of them finished singing the song. "Ben is truly amazing! At such a young age, he has shown remarkable sing
Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 23 - Not Bad, You Say?
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome him, the talented musician dedicated to his craft," Ben said with a smile on his face and an immense amount of confidence. "Mr. ...," Ben said, directing both of his hands towards Jack who was sitting behind him. "Sorry, what's your name?" Ben asked. "Are you referring to me?" Jack asked, pretending to be unsure if the superstar was pointing at him. Jack's reaction amused the audience, making them chuckle softly. Hahaha! However, Ben's reaction was quite the opposite. "Yes! Who else? Of course, it's you!" he replied with a hint of annoyance, although he managed to conceal it very well. While Jack and Ben had different expressions, Lily's expression was different altogether. Since Ben pointed at Jack, her heart became increasingly uneasy. "No! No! This can't be happening! Jack can't play music and can't sing at all! He'll just embarrass himself if he gets the chance!" "So, Mr. ..., what's your name?" Ben asked again. "If not, I'll just ca
Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 24 - Kill Him Now!
"Ha, Mr. Nobody, you want to embarrass me because I've taken your girl, don't you!" Ben thought, looking cynically at Jack. "Before you can do that, I will shatter you into pieces until you have no confidence to face anyone!" Jack's dismissive comment earlier only fueled Ben's desire for even more vicious retaliation. "I've told you everything! But, I don't want to make any decisions about this person!" Ben said again. He might sound forgiving towards Jack and not willing to take the matter further. But for those who knew Ben, they would understand that's not what he wanted. Ben wouldn't feel satisfied just by vilifying Jack in public. He also wanted to slander him as much as possible and incite people to hate him. "Now, I leave the judgment to all of you, whether this young man deserves punishment or forgiveness?" Ben pretended to show a sad expression as he said those words, making the audience even more sympathetic. Not long after the superstar spoke his words, a young ma
Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 25 - Overcoming The Past
"Everything that has happened, let it be! No more regret!" Jack repeated that sentence over and over in his mind. Still with his eyes closed, he let the strong emotions in his heart gradually calm down, along with the tears that had been flowing profusely until now slowly ceasing. One thing unknown to people, neither in Eldoria nor Wealthland, was that Jack had been harboring a very dark memory in his heart for years. He had tried to bury that memory deep inside his heart. However, such memories do not just disappear. When his fingers touched the piano keys earlier, it was like a catalyst that triggered his brain to think about that memory again, making Jack suddenly silent. His mind was flooded with memories that brought various strong emotions: sadness, disappointment, anger, and also despair. Those intense emotions, most of which were caused by his first love for Catherine, the loss of his father, and ultimately the betrayal by his ex-wife. However, at the same time, Jack
Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 26 - Are You Going to Steal My Song in Front of Me? Pftttt! Going On! I Doubt You Can!
What Jack said to the ensemble tickled Ben's belly, making the superstar unable to hold back his laughter. Hahaha! "Funny! So funny! Is what I'm hearing true?" laughed Ben, holding his stomach. "This has got to be the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!" Not only in Ben's mind, but the surprise was also felt by almost everyone in the opera house. "Why does that young man want to sing a song that only Ben can sing?" they wondered. "Or perhaps he actually intends to collaborate with Ben, not steal the spotlight?" People couldn't guess what Jack was really thinking. However, they were sure that Jack wouldn't sing the song, or he would ruin it. Everyone knew that only Ben could perform it most satisfactorily. Not only that. The ensemble group, which had initially disliked Jack due to Ben's instigation, also hesitated to play their instruments. The ensemble members just looked at each other, wondering what they should do. But only head shakes were seen among them, unsure
Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 27 - Will You Go to Dinner with Me?
Jack finished the last part of this song with a very strong and perfect high pitch. After that, his very skillful and charming piano playing closed the song. Just as his fingers lifted from the piano keys, all the audience, both those in the back rows and those in the front, all stood up to give applause. Clap! Clap! Clap! "Amazing! Truly amazing!" Everyone smiled at Jack, their eyes still teary but with smiles on their faces. The song Jack played seemed to have brought them back to their most beautiful memories in their lives. The ensemble did the same. They stood up clapping and looked towards Jack with wide smiles on their faces. "One of the best performances I have ever witnessed in my life!" exclaimed one of them. "Undoubtedly!" replied another. At the same time, Jack, who had been shedding tears profusely from the corners of his eyes, slowly regained his consciousness. After being so immersed in his feelings, the applause from the audience brought him back to awarene
Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 28 - The Lady
As their eyes were drawn to the source of the melodious voice, a girl with wavy blonde hair was on her way to the stage. Her face was perfectly sculpted, like a goddess who had just descended from the heavens. Wearing a knee-length white dress, her appearance was not only very graceful but also extremely captivating. Beside her, a tall, handsome young man had a cold but attentive look on his face. Jack vaguely felt like he had seen the girl before. "Is she the girl I met in the dressing room earlier?" he thought. However, when Jack and the girl locked eyes for a moment, the cold expression she showed made Jack understand that she was not someone he could approach at the moment. It was different for Lucas, who seemed unable to divert his gaze from the girl since she first stepped onto the stage, as if wanting to strip her bare. "Hey, honey, you're looking fantastic!" Lucas said with a grin that was full of lust. "By the way, what are you doing here? Why did you come? Or is it b

Chapter 127 - Night Guests
Maartje stayed in a different room from the one she usually used before.This time, she was assigned one of the rooms on the third floor whose decoration and furniture had been completely changed. Not only wider than the room she used to occupy on the first floor, this room also looked more luxurious.The girl was sitting on the edge of the bed typing a message on a highly secure phone."I haven't seen my parents yet. Can you do something?"Shortly after, a reply landed on her phone."We're working on it, Lady! We'll check all satellite images and CCTV cameras."Maartje was almost certain that her parents had been moved from the palace. "I've checked every corner of this palace, but they're nowhere to be found!" she muttered.Earlier, before the female soldiers escorted Maartje to her room, the girl asked them to accompany her to explore the palace, which they said was being renovated.Those who had no suspicions about Maartje finally complied with the girl's wishes.However, there wa

Chapter 126 - No Other Choice!
In Cornelia's mind, by marrying Maartje, Leon would not only gain a very beautiful girl."Haven't you remained unmarried all this time because you were searching for the most beautiful girl in Crystalbrook?" said the secretary. "That girl is now before you! So what else are you waiting for?""Furthermore, consider one more thing!" Cornelia continued. "Maartje is a symbol of resistance and at the same time a symbol of hope for the people of Crystalbrook. By marrying her, you will not only be able to force those who have opposed you all this time to support you! On the contrary, the possibility of people rebelling will diminish even more!"Upon hearing such considerations, Leon's eyes widened. So did his mouth. How could he miss such a great opportunity?Back to the present."I will not only make you my deputy governor, but you will also be my wife!" Leon said again, walking slowly towards Maartje proudly while holding a glass in one of his hands."Both of us will produce successors who

Chapter 125 - This Is Reconciliation!
Feeling disgusted by Leon's gaze towards her, Maartje quickly opened her mouth. "You shouldn't waste my time! I came here to sign the reconciliation letter!"Leon smiled widely. "My dear, why rush? We haven't met in a long time. Wouldn't it be appropriate for us to exchange a word or two first?"The man then ordered the female soldiers to leave."Alright, Duke!" they said and immediately left the room, closing the door behind them.As the female soldiers left, Maartje felt very uncomfortable being alone with Leon. However, she tried to control her feelings."Come, sit here!" Leon gestured for Maartje to sit on the sofa where he had been drinking earlier.Maartje quickly moved to the spot Leon indicated because she didn't want the man to try to touch her again."Here, take this!" Leon handed Maartje a glass of wine."I am good!" Maartje simply said without touching the glass offered to her."Do you know what I dislike most about someone?" Leon asked as he sipped the wine in his hand.M

Chapter 124 - Reception
Thirty minutes later, the long sedan carrying Maartje arrived near the palace. Behind the sedan, a large jeep followed."This is truly terrifying!" One of the female soldiers inside the jeep couldn't contain her feelings upon seeing the sea of people surrounding the palace. "This is far more than what we faced before!" she murmured again.The female soldier used to be one of the Warriors who fought alongside Duke Dujardin to overthrow Leon.Back when they attacked this palace, Leon's forces weren't as numerous. But now, the situation was completely reversed."I really don't understand how Duke Sardou could gather such a massive army!" muttered the other female soldier, still focusing on her driving.The horror they both felt was also felt by Maartje inside the long sedan. "So many soldiers," she murmured. "There's no way I could fight them!"Anyone who saw the large group of blue-uniformed soldiers would shiver immediately.The sedan continued along the straight asphalt road that woul

Chapter 123 - Returning to the Palace
Since that day, Duke Dujardin secretly helped those who were struggling financially to pay their taxes. "My father secretly doubled the employees' salaries! The aim was for this bonus not to be counted for deduction from their wages! He also provided financial assistance to those in great need, also secretly!" thought Maartje, recalling her father's struggle at that time. As time passed, the number of people receiving assistance from Duke Dujardin grew steadily. And it didn't take long for the duke to gain recognition from the wider community. "Hundreds of Paragons fought on my father's side! They sacrificed their lives so that Leon could be acquitted!" she thought again. The result was ten years ago when the very fierce civil war was finally won by Duke Dujardin. As Maartje reminisced about her father's struggle at that time, a voice inside her seemed to echo in her ears. A voice urging her to keep fighting, no matter how strong the enemy and how impossible victory may seem. T

Chapter 122 - Do It If You Truly Believe You Can Do It!
It's been a common knowledge that although Leon and Duke Dujardin came from the same ancestors, their lines of luck differed. Duke Dujardin inherited thousands of hectares of land from his great-grandfather, a family wealth passed down through generations. It was all productive land cultivated with various vegetables, fruits, and even rare medicinal plants capable of generating billions of RG annually. That was just one aspect of the Dujardin family's wealth. Besides that, they also controlled several mining locations and significant real estate businesses. It could be said that the Dujardin family's hotels were almost scattered throughout the Eldoria kingdom. This was in stark contrast to Leon, or "The Unlucky Duke" as people called him. His grandfather was nearly bankrupt due to debts he couldn't bear. Meanwhile, his father became a fugitive after being found guilty of embezzling state funds. Leon, who was raised in a military education since childhood, lacked sufficient knowl

Chapter 121 - Beginning of a Dispute
How dark Duke Dujardin felt hearing their explanations. Especially when they said that hospitals and social houses no longer provided social services. If you're sick or hungry, but you have no money, then the government can't do anything for you. In other words, you have to endure your suffering on your own, and there's no one you can ask for help. "The government argues that it's the people's obligation to pay taxes to them. While they have no obligations to the people!" the supervisor said again. When the tax rules were first implemented, along with the elimination of social security rules, chaos erupted almost throughout the province of Crystalbrook. It could even be said that this province experienced turmoil like never before in its history. "However, the protests we've made never succeeded because anyone who opposes will immediately be shot! If not, they will be arrested and tortured or sent to the mines for forced labor!" Duke Dujardin clenched his mouth tightly while clen

Chapter 120 - Exorbitant Taxes
A month after Duke Dujardin lived in his luxurious manor in Emberfield, he was approached by a group of people who worked on his estate. "Duke Dujardin, forgive us!" The group of no more than ten people then immediately fell to their knees before the duke. "The police threatened to take our wages! We beg you, do not give them that money! It's all we have to feed our children and wives! We are even willing to work longer hours every day if you want us to, as long as you don't give that money to them!" They continued to prostrate themselves at Duke Dujardin's feet while pleading with him not to give their wages to the Crystalbrook police officers. Duke Dujardin didn't quite understand what they were saying. Of course, he wouldn't give their money to anyone. "Get up! There's no need to grovel like this!" he said, holding the shoulders of each worker one by one. "Please tell me, what's really going on?" They glanced at each other for a moment before the man at the forefront explaine

Chapter 119 - Glints of the Past
"What?" Jack exclaimed. "It seems Leon has been thinking about this for a long time! He realizes that Duke Dujardin has become some sort of symbol of rebellion for the people to oppose him! Therefore, he is convinced that as long as Duke Dujardin is still alive or residing in Crystalbrook, people will still have hope to rebel against him!" "In other words," Jack continued. "If Leon succeeds in marrying Maartje, then it's like destroying the last hope of the people of Crystalbrook to oppose him?" "Exactly! But, of course, that won't solve the problem in Crystalbrook! Mass oppression and exploitation will occur! In the end, it's the people who will suffer!" "You're right!" That's all Jack could say. Now he understood that letting Leon marry Maartje would only make the people even more miserable in the end. He also understood that the most important thing now was to save Maartje and her family first. "Quantara, do you have any ideas?" "Of course! I've been thinking of the most pos
