CHAPTER 8

SPILL THE BEANS

As Allen worked through the night with his master, he was deep in thought.

He thought of the fact that the system was going to activate while he was still there.

All through the evening, he thought about what he was going to do to keep his own identity and the system’s identity apart.

He was very quiet that night, and that did not go unnoticed by his master.

Every time Roland asked about it, he would just say he was thinking about his current banter with Jacob and his boys.

It was getting dark, and the father and son were getting ready to begin with their sales.

Allen worked silently with a lot going on in his mind.

The hoot of the evening train was heard from far away heading towards them at top speed.

“ Are you ready, Allen?” Roland asked Alen as they got ready.

“ Yes, we are set,” Allen replied.

The two of them sold three different types of foods, hamburgers, nachos, and hotdogs.

These three Foods were very popular in their area and highly patronized by the people who were around.

some of the people were always fond of buying their dinner from Roland

The duo stood by their stand, waiting for the customers to start trading in for their dinner.

As soon as Allen took his stand, he had the voice of the system.

SYSTEM: mission found.

The victim is bullied by a man on the next available train. Rescue the lady and humiliate the offender.

Mission reward : Ten Thousand Dollars

Allen heard the voice loud and clear and knew that it meant there was another mission on the way, and that was on the next train that was coming.

He knew he had to accept this mission and do it, but in that case, his little secret was going to be out, and that was not what he wanted.

Allen knew that if he accepted the mission and did it, people would see his new Found system, and that was going to land him in trouble.

He did not want even Roland to know about what he had gotten.

Everybody knew him as a cow and weak kid who was bullied by other people, not standing up for himself and talking more about standing for other people.

Allen decided in his head to ignore the system and go on with his work without raising any suspicions from anybody.

As the hoot of the train drew nearer and nearer, Allen suddenly became scared. His mission was getting closer and closer to him, yet he knew he had to do it without ignoring that system.

The last time he refused a mission, he knew what he went through and was not willing to go through it again. However, Allen knew very well that if he did not accept the mission, he was going to be punished severely by the system.

He looked at Roland, who was standing calmly with an air smile on his face.

“ Maybe I should just go on and accept this mission. After all, I know they can't even harm me if I'm with the system” Allen thought to himself as he pondered on what to do.

A second thought made Allen forgo what he had planned.

It was very risky for him for people to know what he had acquired now, and that was his thoughts.

Allen stood there calmly and waited, and eventually, the train arrived at the station.

Immediately, the doors of the train opened. Allen saw a heavily built man manhandling a young lady, shouting at her and occasionally beating her.

Everybody looked on in sadness, and nobody dared interfered

The heavily built man seemed very rich, and no one dared to talk back at him or interfere in what was going on, knowing for sure that they were going to get themselves in trouble.

The city was a lion's den for the poor people and a playground for the rich people.

Allen looked on sadly as the man continued manhandling the lady in the subway.

SYSTEM: Rescue the victim and Humiliate the victim now, or punishment follows immediately.

Allen heard this.

He did not know whether or not to obey the system and get his money or to ignore the system and receive punishment from it.

If he obeyed the system and got his money, his little secret would be out, and everybody would know that something was up with him.

The man in question was a heavily built man while Allen was just a skinny young weak lad.

If he was able to defeat that man that easily, it was definitely going to be the talk of the town, and he was definitely going to be in the news.

That was the last thing Allen wanted for himself, Gathering fame.

Allen had only a few seconds to decide on what to do as the man was dragging the woman away from the subway station.

Customers came over to their stand, and their sales began. Allen calmly collected himself and began with his work, occasionally taking a glance at the man who was dragging the woman to the parking lot.

Alan felt pity for the young lady who was being bullied, knowing very well he could have helped but can not because he had to protect himself.

The man finally took the lady in the car and drove away, and Allen continued his work of selling to the customers calmly.

People in the subway all had their eyes on the bully and his victim until they drove away. Everybody was murmuring to themselves and to the others about what was really going on, knowing that they could not say it allowed.

Someway, somehow, they all felt pity for the young lady, but nobody could do anything as they were all helpless.

After the man had driven off with a lady, everybody began talking about it

Some people expressed their displeasure at the local authorities for allowing such things to happen in the city while they looked unconcerned.

Everybody knew the truth of the matter, but nobody had the guts to say it as they all knew the consequences of that.

Allen was waiting to hear from the system because he knew he was definitely going to be punished for not accomplishing the mission. Wondering what the punishment was going to be, he became scared.
