Victor walked up to Veneza, and his appearance made all the guests take a notice.
"I've come to congratulate my brilliant sister," Victor said, taking Veneza's hand and kissing it. "Congratulations on your doctor's degree, Vene. May you become a great doctor and not be partial."The look on Victor's face must have made Veneza feel annoyed. Before Victor could kiss the back of her hand, she pulled her hand away roughly with a look of displeasure."What are you doing here? I didn't invite you!" said Veneza."Yes, of course, I know that I wasn't invited, it was like that before and it always is. But isn't this a good day? Don't you want to receive good wishes from others for your success?""I... accept your good wishes? Why would I do something stupid?""You just need to accept it.""What exactly do you want? What did you come here for? You know you're just making things uncomfortable and annoying?"Victor didn't seem to care about Veneza's words and instead reached for a glass of wine to drink. He said, "Isn't it your scolding voice that's making this party so uncomfortable? At least out of respect for your guests, hold your temper a little. Pretend like we're siblings who get along. If you can't be gentle with me, how are you going to deal with your patients?"Veneza was silent, slapped by Victor's words. She looked around and realized that the guests were also watching her throw a temper tantrum at her own party.Veneza was embarrassed, and Sera, seeing this, rushed to push Victor away from her daughter."How dare you talk to my daughter like that!" Sera snapped at Victor. "You're as shameless as your mother!"Victor replied casually. "I'm just glad that I resemble mom so much.""Hah! You're shameless! You didn't come here to give my daughter congratulations or good wishes. You must have come here to curse my daughter's career, and you must have come with the grudge of your mother's soul who died just two weeks ago, right!""What kind of person still believes in such ancient things in this day?" Victor replied, then looked at Sera coldly. Unlike his past self who refused to meet eyes with the sibling who oppressed him. "My mother is not one to curse others for no reason. If you think I came to bring a curse from her, then you personally know what painful things you have done to my mother, so that she would have a curse on you and your daughter, huh?"Sera was dumbfounded, her eyes wide and furious. She clenched her fist before slapping Victor, shocking all the guests." What an asshole! A child like you should be given a harder lesson in etiquette than others!" Sera said, furious.Victor felt his ears ring for a moment from Sera's hard slap, but he kept his cool and kept his head up.Victor straightened the gray suit he was wearing and said, "I might be lacking in ethics classes, Mrs. Sera. What can I do? I'm the only one who didn't get ethics class while my other nine siblings did." Victor glanced at Antonio, and the man with the thin beard did nothing but give him a very sharp glare.Victor sighed. "Perhaps you greeted your brother's presence with cynicism because I brought nothing, Vene. But if you come out, you will find the gift I brought for you, that is if you accept it." Victor briefly glanced at Maria who was also at the party, standing next to Verlaine, before walking towards the exit. "I'm leaving. All the best to you, Vene."After Victor left, Veneza still felt angry. She felt like Victor's presence had just ruined the party, even though she thought the day was going to be perfect."He's like an annoying bug," Veneza said, clenching her fists and still looking angrily at the door Victor had walked through. Then she remembered Victor's words and ran outside the party hall to look at the gift Victor had brought for her.There was nothing there, and Victor had already left. But when Veneza looked down, she found a medium-sized gift box. Veneza picked up the box and knew that it was the gift Victor had given her."What's this?" asked Veneza, and when she opened it, her eyes bulged in shock. "This is... a Garavey brand necklace? This is a $50,000 necklace? Is this real?""It's real." Veneza was surprised to see Naomi already standing behind her, followed by Sera, and the others. "I've seen a lot of jewelry, gold, diamonds and whatnot. I know what's real and what's fake. And the one in your hand is real."Veneza was getting more and more incredulous. "How could he give this to me? No, I mean, how could he buy this? Where did he get the money?""Woah... that's a really pretty necklace. Do you hate it?" asked Naomi, "If you hate it because Victor gave it to you, give it to me. I don't hate Victor-""No!" Veneza took the necklace away from Naomi. "He gave it to me, so it's mine!" Veneza said and walked inside while holding back her embarrassment.***[Fund transfer of $200,000 successful][Congratulations! Level-up task completed][Level up! The user's current level: 2]Victor sighed and felt a little relieved after he finished doing the task his system gave him. He spent $250,000 on jewelry and buying shares of Simon Drave's company. He disguised his identity and managed to become the highest shareholder, that way he could ask Simon to cut off the cooperation with Leighton."It would be nice if he stopped licking Leighton's feet," Victor said, rubbing his cheek. "Mrs. Sera's slap marks hurt a lot. The heat is still here."Victor's gaze went to the street, but he still remembered how his siblings had treated him at the Veneza party."They're still the same. Some were insulting, and the rest just watched like I was a joke. These people are trash," Victor said, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. "If Mom was still around, she would have been the most insulted person. It's a pity. Did she deserve to have such a bad life? Even after her death, there are still people who speak ill of her." Victor thought of Mark."But no matter, mom can rest now. And I will avenge all the insults. I will start from the lowest point, and I will definitely make Antonio Leighton apologize to you."Victor then left for a place, where he would start his first business even though he had no business talent at all.Victor arrived at a small warehouse, he entered the warehouse and saw a man sitting with a sad look."Nice day for daydreaming," he said, distracting the man. He looked surprised at Victor's arrival. "Are you living well, Dylan?""Vic!" Dylan immediately stood up and went to Victor, then hugged Victor warmly and welcomed him. "You haven't contacted me in almost a month. Where have you been? I thought you were dead!"Victor released Dylan's hug and smiled wryly. "Yeah, almost.""Almost?""Yes. As you know, my father dumped me and I'm a living loser. My mom just died too.""Hey... really?" Dylan lowered his voice, a sympathetic look on his face."Yes, unfortunately.""Vic, sorry, I didn't know that your mom died.""No problem. It's only normal that you didn't know, we live in different cities.""My deepest condolences, Vic."Victor just nodded and smiled, even though he was still mourning his mother's death. But he didn't come to cry."Anyway, I've come to give you some good news, Dylan," Victor said, looking enthusiastic and exclaiming, "come work with me!"Dylan paused with a confused look. "What do you mean?""Work with me, let's work together to grow your jewelry business! You are a creative and persistent y
Victor was surprised to hear someone speak, and he saw Vander Leighton, Sera Leighton's first son, and Veneza's older brother. He was an expert surgeon and Sera's pride.Victor felt nervous seeing Vander. Did Vander see the power of his system?"H-hey, Vander, what are you doing here?" asked Victor in an awkward tone.Vander replied coldly. "This is the only way to the parking lot, and I need to get my car.""Oh... you're eating at this restaurant too?""Yes. Looks like the food inside didn't satisfy you, huh?" Victor swallowed but tried to remain calm. "You're like a child who shouldn't be in a place where adults are."Not unlike his other siblings, Vander also occasionally intimidated Victor. Although Victor was a little grateful that Vander didn't seem particularly interested in bullying him during this time. Vander was just focused on studying and his personality was already cold and quiet."Do I look like that because I came alone?" Victor asked."I always eat alone in places lik
"Violet?"Victor wa surprised, he didn't expect to meet Violet, the first child of Sahara Leighton, Antonio's fourth wife."Vi-Victor?"Violet was surprised too, she also looked a little panicked."What are you doing here? And dressed like that?" Victor looked at the sexy cat costume Violet was wearing, looking like she was showing off her body in exchange for money. "Do you work here? There are many women workers here who wear weird costumes like you.""I can't answer you now. I have to go.""Where are you going? What's the hurry?"Violet swatted Victor's hand away until someone's voice startled them."Hey, Vio-Cat! Come back!" Victor watched Violet's shocked, panicked, and scared face as the sturdy man called out to her.Violet was about to run, but the man yanked her back by the hair first. Violet was in pain but Victor only glanced at the man pulling her hair."Where are you going after getting my club almost in trouble?" the man asked, and Violet was even more frightened."Let go
Victor came back to Violet's apartment because he kept thinking about her. He didn't want to care, but he remembered the rude man at the nightclub slapping and pushing Violet."Well, I care because she's a woman, like my mother," Victor said, getting out of his expensive car.Just then he saw Malcom enter the apartment with two of his friends. Victor stepped back, remembering Malcom's terrible beating. But he couldn't run away."Even though the apartment is ugly, there are security guards and they will definitely deal with the guards first. I'll enter through the back door and go to Violet's room. It's a good thing I was able to see where her room is."Yes, Violet had shown him where her room was. On the third floor.Victor went straight to the back door and ran up to the third floor, searching and guessing where Violet's room was. When he found room number 29, Victor knocked on the door and shouted."Violet!" He banged on the door repeatedly. "Violet, come out, you're in danger!""Vi
Victor took Violet to his apartment. She was still a little shocked by what had happened. She hadn't expected to escape from Malcom and his friends."Ah, I forgot. I should have stopped by to pick up some clothes for you," Victor said, opening his closet that contained only a few suits. He turned to look at Violet. "Should I go buy them? Are you okay if I leave you here for a while?"Violet looked at Victor and her common sense returned. She glanced at the elite apartment room Victor was staying in and was confused."Do you stay here?" Violet asked."Yes.""How is that possible?""It's easy. I pay rent for a week.""In this place? I mean, it's an elite property in Manchester and you can afford to rent it for one week?"Victor stared at Violet, who looked in disbelief. He laughed. "Why, are you surprised that my father never gave me any pocket money when I was a child?""No, I don't mean that. I just don't understand where you got this much money from when yesterday it seemed like you
Victor allowed Violet to stay the night at his apartment, but Violet hadn't woken up even though it was already noon.Victor tried to understand that maybe Violet was just tired from last night.Victor ignored her and left the apartment to begin his vacation. Since Victor had traveled to popular places in Manchester yesterday, today he wanted to relax. His body was also a little tired from last night's fight."Apparently having a lot of money isn't enough, huh? Should I hire a martial arts teacher to teach me some martial arts techniques?" Victor muttered, looking at his bruised fingers while enjoying breakfast at a fancy restaurant.Victor opened his phone, looking at the places he would be visiting today. Having made his choice, Victor hurried off after finishing his breakfast.Several times Victor received messages from Dylan who was taking care of the opening of their business, and Victor felt no need to worry because Dylan knew a little more about business than he did.But Victor
"Violet? Violet!" Victor kept calling Violet and looking for her in every corner of the apartment, but she wasn't anywhere and wasn't answering his calls."She left?" Victor asked, then hurriedly grabbed his cell phone and sighed as he remembered that he didn't have Violet's cell phone number. "Shit! Where did she go? Did she go back to her house? Or did she go back to Malcom?"Victor furrowed his brow, like someone in a panic. "If I remember what she said, it looks like she went back to Malcom. Is she out of her mind? That man could have ruined her life!"Victor left again, heading for Violet's apartment. Even though he had a feeling that Violet wouldn't be there, he went anyway to make sure, then sighed in disappointment when the apartment was the same as the last time they'd left it-and Violet wasn't there."Damn, this is getting troublesome!" Victor punched the old couch and sat down to calm himself. If it weren't for his system's commands, Victor probably wouldn't want to put him
"You better not do this if you don't want to regret it."Violet opened her eyes and immediately moved away when she heard the voice."Victor?""Wow, you remember my voice?" Victor took off his mask and startled Violet even more."What are you doing here? Do you want to die?""I should be the one asking you that. Do you want to die? Why did you go back to that madman?" Violet said nothing. "I went to the trouble of saving you only to see you return so easily to the trouble himself?""I never asked to be saved."Victor sighed and rolled his eyes. "That's how you always answer. I don't know what makes you this stupid." Victor glanced at Violet, who looked anxious. "I want to make sure of one thing; are you working in a place like this because you have no money at all?"Violet stared at Victor, confirming his assumption."You're Antonio Leighton's daughter, lack of money is a very unlikely thing to happen to you, isn't it? Unless you're an unconsidered and uncared-for child like me. But y
