"Aiden! Aiden!!" His grandpa ran into the home shouting. Aiden was still trying to sort loads of suits he now has thanks to Trisha, she just wouldn't stop going to the fashion mall– it was almost becoming a daily routine every time they went out.Aiden, hearing his grandfather's voice, ran out of his room."Pa?!! Is something wrong?!" He exclaimed as he came out."Son, your grandmother! your-r..." The man was panting so heavily, that it was difficult to catch his breath."Pa, will you calm down? Calm down okay." Aiden patted his back as he spoke. "You can speak gently now." He said after the old man seems to have calmed down."Your grandmother, the doctors say she's starting the surgery tomorrow. They said they will place her on pre-surgery monitoring and preparation for tonight, then tomorrow they will do the surgery!!""Yay!! Wow!!!" Aiden tried his best at that jubilation but he sucked at it. He didn't know how to feign one. This was news he was expecting since he started working f
Aiden wore a deep blue suit, with a white collar shirt and a black tie. After he was done dressing he was looking like the son of a rich company man himself. But that was not all.Due to the changes in his stat, his body was beginning to change."Did I used to be so thick..." He wondered to himself as he felt the suit pants and even the jacket hug him tight and somehow it was like even the contours of his biceps and triceps were visible.He loosened the button of the jacket to free the tightness, took the car keys, and head out....The next he was in front of the chairman's house as he should be, but this time it was not Hallan that welcomed him. It was some blond-haired guy, looking mean. Aiden had seen him a few times since he started working but that's just it."Hey, Unc... looking so good, as usual." The young lady complimented him as she entered the car.Aiden looked up at the weather. He wasn't the type to watch the weather forecast before leaving home but he wished he had this
"What?" Aiden was shocked. He was about to get out of the car when he saw them pour out.They were all in black suits, holding dangerous weapons, machetes, bats, metal rods, and objects that could smash his head to bits.Immediately Aiden locked the car and everything but that was not enough to stop him.SMASH! SMASH!! SMASH!!!They went hard on him and began to thrash his car with the weapons they had.Clatter!With little to no effort, both the windscreen and all the glasses of the car shattered and he was forcefully dragged out through the window, with the broken glasses that were still stuck in the window frame tearing his skin.Not that they cared about that, as Aiden was dragged out and beaten as he had never experienced. This was little and could not be compared to the beating he got after his breakup.These people came hard at him with bats and rods, not giving him a space to breathe but all of a sudden...[Automatically using skill 'Quick legs']Aiden's leg moved before he co
"It's been over an hour, could it be because of his grandmother's surgery?" Trisha mumbled as she waited in front of her school gate for Aiden to arrive.But it had been an hour but she had not caught a glimpse of him. As much as she was getting worried about him she also couldn't wait to go home. And for Trisha who was always looking for a way to escape the heavy surveillance, it belatedly struck her that this was a chance to be a menace.'Well, don't blame Unc... I waited.' She grinned as she walked forward, intending to find her own way home while playing along the streets and roads.'I should take a bus too... damn, I've always wanted to know what it feels like to take a bus.' Her eyes sparkled as she went along....The gangs laughed at Aiden who was looking all renewed and refreshed despite being washed with blood all over.His hands were hidden behind his back but as he brought it out was a silver-colored baseball bat, different from the one they had, metallic and seemed like i
Aiden opened his eyes to the white ceiling and restrictions accumulated with pains that swam around his body. He couldn't move freely because a plaster bandage was fixed on his neck.His face was bruised and swollen. His eyes were not as manly as they used to be some few days back.Everything was in ruin, it was a miracle that he managed to survive. But considering Aiden's history, he is subjected to so many miracles.The system greeted him.[Congratulations, you survived][You have completed the side quest 'Survival'][You have gained +10 blue cards][You have gained +5 green cards][You have gained +3 white cards][You have gained +1 red card][You have leveled up ×5]'Interesting... so many rewards.' Aiden gleamed at what he stared at.SlideThe door opened and the doctors marched in along with his grandfather who had a dejected look on his face.Aiden was familiar with his father's sad face and this wasn't it. The face this time around was different as if he has lost life, as if h
"And how is she doing now?""She has been indoors all day. Refusing to go to school, and the maids are having trouble getting her to eat. They say she blames herself."The man bowed his head in agony, burying his face into his palm. "Her voice when she called me... It felt just like back then...""Sir... you don't have to mention it...""I know right... I can't get over it. I don't know if I can ever be grateful enough for what Aiden did... I‐ I‐ I just don't know... I wish I could have another son so strong like him.""Sir..." Hallandale's voice consoled the chairman's words."No, no, Hallan... I need a son like him. My brothers, their sons, and daughters are looking for every opportunity to monopolize the company that I created, from the scratch, from nothing... I created it with my blood and sweat and let them into it for the sake of family." He sighed, "But these guys are always looking for chances to overtake me. My foes are all over the place... how else can I protect Trisha and
Aiden was dumbfounded.Why?!Why?!Why now?!He was brimming with anger, what is this? Why is the system going against his wishes, when it knows for sure that he wants to get away from them?'Why?, I want to take my time to investigate the people that killed my grandmother and attacked me. I want to start preparing properly for my revenge. I don't have the time to continue as a driver anymore.'[I promised you vengeance and power][You shall have nothing short of that]Aiden bear down at the two sentences that floated in front of him. He sighed.The system was something he couldn't go against. If he decides to fail the quest, he would lose 10 levels, he would also lose 10 stat points from all his stats which means he would be back to the beginning. He didn't even have that much stat, to begin with.He walked into the mansion, escorted by Hallan who despite having consoled him over the days, supported with the funeral still came around to console him, he was still patting his back and
All the things Aiden heard still sounded unrealistic to him.The son of Harris Revenmar."Unc?" Trisha who was just walking about met Aiden as he trudged out of the chairman's office, seeking for a few days to think about his decision.She ran so quickly and hugged him, sobbing."I'm so sorry, unc. Because of me, I'm so sorry."As she begged Aiden, with those loud cries, his mind suddenly wondered to what the chairman said about her carrying the guilt of her brother's death. He tried to imagine how devastated the little girl would have felt."There's nothing to be sorry about Trish. I am glad, I was able to protect you." He said.For now, he didn't know what to believe. Maybe he was the one that they were targeting or they thought Trisha too would be with him. But one thing he knows is that those guys didn't look like there was another person they were supposed to kill."I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry you got hurt because of me.""Hey... little sis... you don't need to be sorry about anyt
