Mrs. Victoria, the banker whom Christopher had an encounter with earlier that day, gradually made her way into the office, pairing through the four walls of it.Her eyes spun around, meeting with Christopher, and soon she transferred into a frown."You.." Her hands formed into a ball, and she was about to say something before returning her stare to her boss.She could already see the anger dangling all over the face of her boss, and she was able to gradually place two and two together.The truth struck her like a flash of lightning as she gritted her teeth."You fool. I thought I already told you to go out of the bank. How did you even find your way here?" She inquired, still frowning."Is it that this bank is your last resort or something?" The frown that was hanging on her face deepened even more."Well, it seemed that you were able to help, and hopefully, I was able to find my way around," Christopher responded without even the slightest flinch in the emotionless expression on his
Christopher's eyes bulged out from his eye socket at the truth that lay right before him."But how is that even possible?" He thought in his head, still trying to place two and two together.But the more he tried to think about the scenario, the more disjunct his thoughts seemed to have become.He paired upwards to cross the eyes of Mrs. Andrea, blazing with so much anger, and those of Victoria, dangling with a smirk.Mrs. Andrea made her way towards the noisy system that was right before her and turned it off.The sound of the machine soon flooded away from their hearing, and all their attention was focused directly on Christopher.Soon, Christopher heard a loud ding in his head that made him pause, right to the point that he was standing.[Host chance to peak skill activated. ][Mind reading skill activated][Skill duration: twenty-four hours][System directive: Through this skill, the host will be able to read the thoughts of two people at a time, but to unlock this skill, two VIP
The shock that clouded their faces knew no bounds, especially for Victoria. I am still staring at the scene in disbelief.Her heart pulled off a race while Mrs. Andrea was sweating profusely by the edge of the office, not able to establish words to express her shock.Victoria sped off swiftly towards the machine that lay right before her. "It just had to be a mistake." These were the thoughts that filled up her mind.She rebooted the system a couple of times, but the notification that was already revealed on it would not change even for a single moment."Do you also think that the machine is wrong after all that you have seen?" His eyebrows farrowed as Victoria pulled away from the machine with a defeated look on her face.There was awkwardness in the room as nobody opened their mouths to spit out even a single word.Cold chills went down the spine of Mrs. Andrea as she walked gradually towards Christopher, opening her mouth to speak.But before she could let out a single word, he wav
Christopher's heart was on his palm, awaiting the final decision of his system.[Status loading.].With every single percent that it counted afterwards, the beating of his heart seemed to go ten times faster.[Status loading completed][Task completion successful][Initial starting amount tripled][Three VIP points added][Total VIP points: 5]Christopher let out a really deep sigh of relief at the sound of the word, placing his hands on his chest almost immediately."Finally." He let out an air of relief from his lungs.[New task loading][The host is at liberty to choose the difficulty level of this task.]He had already had enough for one day to pick another task of high difficulty."Easy please."

It took them a while to recover from the shock that ran through the hall. Mrs. Lewis's eyes brightened.She had seen a lot of rich men streaming into the place, but someone who could afford such an amount in a blink meant that he had his network running into millions.For the first time, she recognized his face.Thoughts were already running through her mind. He had the perfect structure that could pass for a Greek god.The perfect shape and a handsome face. All those years, her stares were only directed at how well dressed he was, and she never noticed how handsome she looked.She liked him immediately.She pushed through a smile as she walked forward towards him, pushing all her features out so that he was going to notice."I wish that you really knew that I could read your thoughts." There was a dark smile behind the emotionless expression that was written all over his face."Come with me, sir; I will make things ready immediately." She said,Following her closely from behind, Chri
At first, there was silence in the place, followed by a thick outburst of laughter that flooded into the void of the night."Are you for real now?" They laughed even harder, clutching to their already aching stomachs."And who else do you think will have the potential to win this award, Mr. Know It All?" Henry inquired with a fake sense of aHe drew a really deep breath at first before he went ahead to say."It could be anyone. It could even be me." He responded swiftly.His next words sped off another round of epic laughter through the hall almost immediately."We aren't really ever going to be free from this delusional freak, are we?" Henry let out a cry of both mockery and despair."Just take a good look at yourself. Do you even feel that you are worthy enough to lick the dust of the person who won the award?" Gerald added to the words.Christopher wished that he could tell them the worth of the person that was sitting right before them, but he knew that there was no need for that.
Christopher thought about it for a while, but he knew that human life mattered more than any other task.Drawing his last breath, he shot a quick stare at the resident and back to the direction of the sound.He had already made his decision as he turned away from the building in the direction of the sound.As he walked, the way that he led seemed to go darker and steeper, sending cold chills of fear down his spine.His heart was beating so loudly that the sound of it was rising up to his ears.Finally, he got to a really deserted area and caught a lady in the company of two other men who were already losing the tie around their belts.Streams of sweat flooded from her eyes almost immediately as she continued to plead, but they would not listen to a single word that she had to say."Shut up, your bitch!" They growled at her, giving her a slap on the face.Christopher carefully assessed the situation; they were armed, but it was not too heavy. Just a dagger and a pocket knife.But he kn
Eric's face was hot red with anger, while as for Christopher, he was already fed up for the day and not ready to take any shit from anyone. Eric raised his head and took a glance at him from his head to his toe. He didn't even look like someone who had any prominent social status. Eric thought that there was certainly no way that he would be able to get the company. "You think I am here for children's play? What are you trying to do? To mock me or something." He gloated. "Can you even afford three square meals daily to talk less about acquiring a company?" He continued. "Says someone who could not manage a company and wanted to sell it off?" Christopher responded. There, hate and anger between the two of them brewed even more. Just then, a cracking sound came from the door that seemed to avert their hateful glares for a while. A lady walked through the door, and, pairing further in her direction, Christopher was hit by the sudden sense of recognition. "Sister. Where have you b
