Become Rich With A Trivial System Chapter 40 - Run Out of Time
The hall of the Blue Sky restaurant had become crowded with customers who were curious and interested in the cooking duel.Almost all the remaining customers in the restaurant had flocked to fill the available seats in the hall.On the platform, Jack stood beside the table on the right, while three head chefs stood beside the table on the left.In the middle of the platform, Harry stood holding a microphone in his hand."Ladies and gentlemen," he said with a smile on his face."Today, we received a challenge from a young man who claimed to be the greatest in Rivertown when it comes to cooking! Someone who forces us to submit and acknowledge his greatness! Someone who says that our cooking was just ordinary!"As he said these words, the expression on Harry's face changed, where he put on a sad and tough expression at the same time.He hoped that with his words, he could garner sympathy from the customers present there."Must all Eldoria men act so lowly by flattering people to gain the

Hearing the bell ring, Jack abandoned his intention to pour the sauce onto the plate and instead returned the pot to the stove.Then, he himself carried the large plate where the beef he had grilled earlier was placed to the main table.After that, Jack stood behind the table not far from the chefs. The chefs were at the left end of the table, while Jack was at the right end.As soon as the two plates were placed side by side, the difference in the appearance of the meat prepared by the two competing parties was very clear.The chefs' dishes looked perfectly cooked with a rich coating of spices and red sauce. With other compositions in just the right proportions neatly arranged on the plate, it was hard not to say that it was a masterpiece dish, one of the best that only people could exclusively get at the Blue Sky.Not long after that, Harry walked somewhat hastily from behind the curtain behind the platform and stood right in the middle between Jack and the chefs. As his gaze fell o

The woman pierced a small piece of grilled meat with her fork.However, before she put it into her mouth, she said very loudly, once again, "You told me that you would work for me for free for a few months if it turns out I like your cooking, didn't you? I disagree with that condition!"Jack furrowed his brow. "What do you mean?""I don't want someone like you to continue to wreak havoc in this city," the woman continued, shaking her head. "So I want you to promise that you will leave Rivertown as soon as possible, forever, and never come back!"As she said this sentence, both of the woman's eyes were filled with anger and hatred, as if Jack were not only a societal nuisance tarnishing the town's life but also a criminal making everyone's life unrestful.However, Jack didn't seem bothered by the demand at all. "Fine! I agree!""Everyone here is a witness! You have no reason to deny your words!" the woman continued.She then reluctantly and with a disgusted expression on her face broug

What came out of the woman's mouth made everyone present shocked."What? What did she just say?"They wondered if there was another implied meaning in the woman's words."This can't be possible, can it?" they muttered, as if unable to believe what they had just heard.However, upon seeing the expression on Lenora's face, they began to realize that what the woman said was indeed honest.Driven by curiosity, some guests sitting in the front row then rose from their seats and hurriedly walked towards the platform."Lenora, tell me you're not joking, right?" A man in his sixties wearing a black suit, who had been observing Lenora, couldn't hide his curiosity anymore."I'm not lying!" the woman said without lifting her face from the steak. "You can try it yourself!""Hufft!" The man took a deep breath and grabbed a knife and fork, wanting to prove the woman's words true. So did the middle-aged woman next to him.They cut the meat, which looked strange to them, and put the pieces into their

The announcement certainly caught everyone by surprise, including Matilda."What? Is what I'm hearing true?" she muttered unconsciously.She knew very well the struggles her son faced when it came to cooking. Let alone competing against chefs, even Jack probably wouldn't be able to make himself proud with his cooking.Lenora's words certainly shocked her in an unexpected way.Nevertheless, no one dared to refute Mrs. Calder's words.If she had decided on something, then it was final!"Young man, tell me, what is your name?" Lenora asked, her tone even sounding more polite."Jack, my name is..." Jack almost said Eldrone as his family name before he remembered his temporary identity. "Jack Andrews!"Lenora smiled broadly. "Mr. Andrews, it is an honor for me that someone with extraordinary talent like you came to our restaurant and challenged our chefs!"She then slowly stepped towards Jack. "But, I understand that your visit here is not a coincidence, is it? If I may know, what is your

A few moments earlier."Jack, there's a much better way to get revenge!" That was the sentence uttered by Quantara just before Jack directed his fist towards Harry's face."What should I do?""Challenge him to a cooking duel!""Why challenge someone I'd have to destroy their face to cook? I'll beat him up right now!""Jack, you already have 90 points in the system! You just need ten more points to reach the next level!""I know! But I told you, I won't let anyone insult my mother, let alone threaten her to breathe freely! I can't help but feel like crushing him!""That's the point! Every time you're in a critical situation, the system will adjust the situation to your condition! If it's about saving someone's life then what you do can become a mission!""Are you saying that saving Matilda is the same as completing a mission?""Exactly! And if you manage to eliminate the threat to that woman, you'll earn an additional 10 points that will take you to the next level!""But why should I c

"One hundred million! If you pay me a hundred million right now, I'll give you the ownership of this restaurant!""Lenora, but didn't you say you wouldn't sell it?" Napoleon's face showed that he might only have a slight objection. Though, in reality, what he felt in his heart was more than that."Even if you were to sell it, shouldn't you sell it to me, who made the offer first?""Forgive me, Napoleon!" Lenora just shook her head weakly with a slightly uncertain look.Napoleon looked disappointed with Lenora's response."This is all because of you, troublemaker!" Napoleon yelled at Jack. "You shouldn't have been allowed to be here from the beginning!"Lenora's recent answer made him unable to contain his anger towards the young man any longer. "Now get out of here before I do something that will make you regret!""Mr. McFadden, didn't I make it clear from the beginning that I want this restaurant? Then why should I leave if I can pay for it?""You really have a big mouth! Show us all

Matilda looked at her son, almost at a loss for words."Mom, is there something wrong?" Jack asked, smiling."No! I just don't know what else to say now! You make me so proud!" Matilda wiped tears from her eyes."You shouldn't make decisions too quickly, Mom!" Jack said, grinning in a way that was hard to interpret.What did he mean?"I want you to sign this paper!" Jack handed her the paper, smiling sincerely."Jack..." Matilda couldn't continue her words as the corners of her eyes welled up again.All she could do was hug her son."I know you've wanted to open a restaurant for a long time! And since I have some money, why not make it happen for you!"Matilda shook her head. "No! I don't want this! The restaurant will remain yours!""But, Mom...""No! Don't argue with me this time! You have to obey me!" Matilda showed a stern expression Jack had never seen before. "If I say this restaurant is yours, then nothing can change my decision!" she said, maintaining the same expression."Alr

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

"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
