"It's true," Jeslyn muttered in disbelief."Hey, are you okay?" Clarita rushed over when she saw Jeslyn's body, which looked like it was about to fall over, and held her arm tightly. "It looks like you're not well. Your face is pale. Are you sick?"Instead of answering, Jeslyn shook her head slowly with her lips pulled down. In an instant, her tears flowed freely, making Clarita, who was watching her, widen her eyes in surprise."Why are you crying? Are you really sick?" Clarita tried to wipe away her tears, but it didn't work. Jeslyn's crying intensified, and by now, the girl was hugging Clarita tightly. "Jeslyn. If anything makes you uncomfortable, just tell me. I'll call the family doctor.""My heart," Jeslyn murmured through her tears.Because of her loud sobbing, her words could not be heard clearly. Clarita frowned and was about to push Jeslyn back to her feet. But as if she was wearing glue, Jeslyn didn't move even though Clarita exerted all her strength."Jeslyn, don't be like
With his gaze fixed on the back, Felix carefully picked up one of the miniatures that could be used as a weapon. Then he walked towards the origin of the sound as quietly as possible, hoping that he wouldn't make any noise so that something back there wouldn't notice."There can't be anyone in this place. This is my asset, and I got it from the system," muttered Felix, who began to take a fighting stance.He even drew close to the dividing wall and peered in warily. All his movements were like a scout about to attack his target.However, just as he was about to leave his hiding place, a cat suddenly jumped at his feet, making him reflexively step back with a surprised look.The white cat looked at Felix and walked away, making a lazy noise.Felix's face instantly became flat. He stared at the cat's departure in annoyance. "I thought it was a criminal, but it was a cat. Just panicking!"Felix threw the miniature onto the sofa with a rough exhale. But then he fell into a stiff silence.
"EasySync, next time if you do something, even if it's for my benefit, you should say so. Don't let something like this happen again. Luckily, I didn't beat him up badly. Otherwise, that innocent man... I can't make any mistakes. Moreover, I came here to relax," Felix said as he returned to the villa.He took the same path and headed straight into the room, sprawling himself on the large bed adorned with white sheets.Emmett, the villa's guard, had been compensated for what he had done earlier. Not out of guilt, but Felix wanted to avoid anything bad happening in the future. After all, Emmett was the one he would continue to trust to look after the villa. And maybe, for a long time, after he returned, he would come here again."But, EasySync, I just learned you can hire people like this." Felix continued to stare at the ceiling of the room. "If I got a similar gift, would there also be a guard?"[If it's in a distant place, then yes. That is to reduce the risk of damage. However, it a
In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, Felix stood by the lake with his hands stuffed into his pants pockets. His gaze was straight ahead with a look that was hard to interpret. But there was a touch of sadness on his face.Felix thought that when his life changed for the better, everything would be easier and more fun.In the past, he didn't have enough money and was always insulted. His pride was hurt. The fire of anger burned high in his heart. But, due to incompetence, he couldn't vent and only suppressed it, acting as if nothing had happened.He was so sick of living a life of mediocrity. The insults and abuse made it even more unbearable.Even though Arista deeply hurt him, he was happy he got something he never thought he would get.The system.Think of it as a consolation for his hurt of being betrayed. And the gifts the system gave him were what he deserved for his patience.Felix thought it was enough to go on missions and receive infinite wealth. His life would be
Of course, Felix wasn't going to let go that easily. He quickly grabbed the thief's shoulder, spun him around, and punched him in the jaw, causing him to fall to the side.This unexpected action took the thief by surprise. He clutched his sore jaw and stood up angrily. "You! Rancid loser! Do you still have the guts? Don't you know who I am?"But Felix did not answer.Instead, he kicked the thief in the chest, sending him, who was still about to get angry, flying backward."Argh! Asshole! What are you doing, bastard?" The thief's anger could no longer be contained. He scrambled to his feet and ran toward Felix while pulling something out of his pants.As soon as he raised his hand, a shiny object appeared. The moonlight made it look even more ghastly.Seeing that, a cold glint flashed in Felix's sharp eyes. But he remained silent and moved quickly to the side, avoiding the thief's attack. The fight this time was quite fierce as Felix kept dodging while the thief attacked him with weapo
"Should I wake him up?" Emmett mumbled confusedly as he paced back and forth in front of Felix's room. "I'm afraid of disturbing his rest."Then he stopped walking and stared out the window a short distance away. "But it's already noon. Master hasn't eaten anything since last night. What if he's sick?""No, no. I have to wake him up. It's fine even if he scolds me, the important thing is that he can eat." He shook his head quickly and turned his body to stare at the door. His right hand was raised, about to knock on the door in front of him. But his movement stopped just as his hand almost touched the door."I can't." Emmett withdrew his hand and stepped back. "Sir must be tired after last night's fight with three thugs."As soon as he said this, Emmett seemed to remember something and immediately closed his mouth with his eyes wandering around. "No one heard it, right?""Haha, I'm just kidding. That's not true. My lord fought with thugs in a game. Yes, it's like that." Surprisingly,
Ever since learning a little about Emmett's past, Felix suddenly had a bad feeling. His guard was up, and he closely watched the man's movements.However, even after two days passed, nothing suspicious happened. Emmett worked well and served him kindly. His playfulness still clung to him. Seeing him like that, a doubt crept into Felix's heart. Was it true that the man used to be a thug? Why weren't there any signs to suggest that?His personality might be changeable and manipulable, but his physique... Emmett even looked like a typical middle-aged man. His body was slightly plump. His face, which had a few wrinkles, looked full of sincerity. His voice also lacked any firmness.But, if that is indeed true, it looks like Emmett is a dangerous man to avoid. He was good at disguising himself so as not to arouse suspicion from the enemy."He's too chatty to be a thug," Felix muttered with his blank gaze fixed on Emmett tending to the flowers.Then he sighed and began to sink into his thoug
"Emmett... did he ever live here?" Felix asked a little hesitantly.Instead, the woman smiled serenely and nodded slowly. "Do you want me to tell you about him?""Yes," Felix replied."Then please wait a moment." With that, the woman stood up and walked out of the room. Felix glanced at her and opened his system, continuing to read the unfinished data."EasySync, convert my 10,000 points into an account balance. Oh no, make me two regular accounts for this country and fill the balance with 5000 of my points each!" Felix ordered.[Yes, sir.][Request received.][Request is being processed; requires more time. Please wait!]Just then, footsteps were heard, causing Felix to close his system and correct his sitting position immediately.The woman sat back and placed an album on the table. "Before I explain everything, let me introduce you, my name is Ophelia.""Then, am I allowed to know your name?" Then she looked at Felix."Felix," Felix answered honestly. "I'm not originally from here,
