I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 043 : A System To Save Another
Victor woke up and felt his head hurt a lot. It was like he couldn't lift his head on his own, as if there was a big iron holding it down.It might have been better for Victor to stay lying down, but when he saw the dried blood around him, he was startled and got up."What happened to me?" He asked, looking confused. But then he remembered."Ouch," he holds the back of his head, where Damian hit him with the vase. "Damn, he really doesn't hesitate to kill someone."Victor then remembered one more thing, which immediately made him panic and look around, realizing that it was late."Shit! What's he going to do to Vania?" Victor fidgeted, looking for the door to the room with the many file cabinets. He found it, and as expected, it was locked.[Ting!]The notification from his system sounded. Victor froze looking at the system screen that appeared in front of him.[Oh no! The user is in distress and locked in a room!]Victor frowned.[A new task has arrived][Complete 3 fortune tasks thi

Vania was still trying to break herself free. Already on the floor after fell within her chair, and crawling like a caterpillar with a wooden block on top of her.Making her way to the door, Vania hit it with the chair she was still tied to and called for help."Help me! Get me out of here! Somebody help me!" she shouted, but her voice was muffled by the music that was playing in the party room very well.Damian also seemed to have forgotten about Vania and didn't look remorseful at all about what he did.Damian looked at all his guests, they were complete. The glass of wine that had been with him, he carried it to the stage with a mic in his hand."Good evening my precious guests." The music was turned down, people's gazes turned towards Damian who spoke. "Thank you for coming to my birthday party and celebrating this happy day with me. I hope today's banquet can satisfy you and make you feel the happiness that I feel today. Enjoy the party, eat as much as you can, dance freely. This

Victor took off the mask immediately. Being around the fire would make him melt, especially since the fire had started to burn half of the fifth floor.As he ran towards the sealed room, Victor just hoped that he wasn't too late and Vania could still be saved."Help me, someone help me!"Victor was stunned when he heard the cry. Followed by the sound of a crash from inside there.Vania really was in the room, and he was momentarily relieved to hear that Vania could still shout for help.Victor ran over to the locked door."Vania! Vania, can you hear me?" Victor asked."Victor?""Yes, it's me.""Victor, please get me out of here! Please save me~" Vania cried even harder, hoping Victor could save her. "In here, the fire has gotten bigger and almost burned every spot. I'm scared, it's so hot in here."Victor braced himself. "I will save you, Vania. I will definitely keep you safe." His words calmed Vania down. "Are you hurt?" Victor asked, looking for something to open the lock."No, I'm

The fire alarm sounded shrill while everyone was enjoying the party. They were confused, until one of the waiters shouted, "FIRE! THERE'S A FIRE ON THE THIRD FLOOR!"Of course, the guests panicked."Everyone out of the room!" Damian shouted, instructing everyone to get out. It was quite tense and suffocating as they flocked out. "Don't push each other! I don't want you guys to get hurt!"A few panicked people made a scene, but Damian seemed fine with it. He even smiled with relief when he realized that by now, Vania was probably burnt to a crisp.But Damian didn't realize that Violet was secretly watching him, and her look of bewilderment when she saw Damian smiling in this situation.All the guests had left, with Damian coming out last. The man ran to his parents who seemed worried.Amelia immediately hugged Damian who had just come out."Damian...." The woman looked very worried, but was also relieved to see that her son was okay.

I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 047 : "Good Night, My Love."
Dylan waited anxiously outside the fence. As Victor had requested, he waited and would enter when the police arrived.Everyone was already outside when the fire alarm went off, and Dylan really wanted to go in if only the police could arrive soon.Before long, two police cars arrived. Dylan was very relieved and happy that he could go in as soon as the police approached him and went in with him.He had to get to Victor and make sure he was out of the house."It's Victor!" he said, excited to see Victor outside. Excited, Dylan ran over to Victor and told him that his task was complete. Dylan managed to get the police to arrive on time."VIC-"BANG!!!But Dylan hadn't even finished saying Victor's name, and he witnessed his best friend being shot by a revolver with an eerie, echoing gunshot.Dylan was dumbfounded, his eyes wide and unaware of what he was witnessing."VICTOR!!!"Violet screamed hysterically, she ran through the crowd of people to get to Victor who was lying there with sm
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 048 : Apology
After the hug and the words, things got a little awkward between Violet and Victor.They've sat apart since a nurse arrived to check Victor's condition."Hey, are you going to stay put, or are you going home?" Victor asked after nearly 15 minutes of silence with Violet.Violet tried to act normal, but it was evident that she was feeling awkward. Did she regret her own decision to hug Victor?"Do you regret hugging me?""H-huh?"Victor looked at Violet with his calm, cold face. "Do you wish you could turn back the clock to avoid hugging me?""Why are you talking like that?""Your face looks like you want to talk like that."Violet bit her lower lip. It was true that she felt that her spontaneous reaction was embarrassing. Still, she had no regrets after hugging Victor out of sheer delight."I was just so happy that you weren't dead. I didn't think about my actions."Victor nodded. "Makes sense," he said. "So, how long have I been asleep?""Three days.""Wow. That's quite a long time."
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 049 : The Secret Power He Has
"VICTOR!!!"Victor was surprised to hear someone calling his name as the door opened loudly.He immediately turned around and saw Dylan and Vania coming in together.Victor tried to sit up, but Dylan immediately gave him a tight, suffocating hug, certainly painful for his injured hand."VICTOR...I THOUGHT I'D LOST YOU. WHY DID YOU DO THAT STUPID THING!?""Hey, control your power. Did you forget I just almost died?"Dylan, who had closed his eyes, now opened them and sat up quickly on the chair."You didn't die, did you? You got ready and put on that bulletproof vest before coming in!" said Dylan, sounding like he was protesting."Yes...but still running around in the middle of a fire while carrying that thick and heavy vest on your body felt like I'm about to dying. Especially when I jumped from the top floor of that house!"Victor then fell silent, not wanting to relive his bad experience.Then Vania spoke up. "How is your feeling now, Vic?" This time, Vania spoke in a soft tone to Vi
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 050 : Do You Like Her?
Dylan looked dumbfounded by what Victor had said, but the blond-haired man seemed to take it all in stride."Why did you fire him?" Dylan asked."Because we couldn't work together any longer.""What was the reason?""Hm...Violet's relationship with my company has been one of reciprocity since the beginning. I helped her once and she wanted me to repay her by accepting her help as my assistant. She also said that she only needed to return my favor, and I considered it done. She doesn't have any obligation to repay me, so I also think it's better to end our working relationship."Dylan still didn't understand Victor's thoughts. "But isn't Miss Violet your assistant? She's helping you learn the business, right?""Yes. But I can find another assistant. You don't have to worry and do your part well. Okay?""But, Vic, we've already got Miss Vania and you just need to open the shop and run the company, why did you take Miss Violet out?""Dylan...," Victor called, making Dylan pause, "I can't

Violet slowly opened the door to the room with the overpowering medical odor. She took a quick glance inside, and now had a perfect view of the figure sitting on the thickly blanketed bed as she glanced out the large glass window. Seemingly lost in thought, he seemed calm and unconcerned about his surroundings. Even when Violet pulled out a chair and took a comfortable spot to sit next to him, Victor remained passive. Violet glanced at her man with a quizzical look, as if she wanted to start a conversation. After five days of unconsciousness, Victor finally opened his eyes this morning. Violet rushed to him to see how he was doing, but it seemed that only his physical state had improved. Violet ventured to touch Victor's hand, and to her surprise, Victor flinched. Violet couldn't help but be surprised by the man's response. "Violet...," Victor said in a low voice, he looked up at Violet but those eyes seemed to be empty without a focal point. "You were here, I didn't realize,"

Connor approached Emily, then looked at the little girl’s sleeping face while gently rubbing her slightly gaunt cheeks. “So... how did it go?” asked Connor, Jack flinched as he understood what the question meant. However, Jack chose to remain silent, making Connor smile because he suspected that his guess was correct. “Failed, yes...,” the old man said, smiling haughtily.“I won’t give up, Dad.” Jack said with conviction, making his father look down on him even more. “I’ll try until Emily gets her new heart.”“You’re pretty optimistic for a kid who just felt the pain of failure after not listening to his parents, Jack. Don’t you want to complain and complain to this father of yours?” Jack was silent, his jaw hardening as he held back his anger. He knew full well that all his father was doing now was mocking his failure, making Jack feel reminded of the pain when his high hopes ended in failure again.Indirectly, Connor seemed to be saying: "Expecting kindness from a monster like Victo

After a few minutes spent cleaning up, Violet and Victor met back at the dining table for breakfast. As before, there weren’t many ingredients in Victor’s refrigerator. Violet used the ingredients she had on hand to make breakfast, and thankfully it didn’t turn out too badly.Victor doesn’t wait long and eats his share of breakfast. Violet stares at him intently, waiting for his reaction. But Victor just ate without saying anything. Even though he was eating well, Violet was still waiting for a comment from him. And when she didn’t get one, the girl chuckled. It made Victor stop eating and ask, “What’s wrong?”Violet looked at him with pouting lips. “You’re not going to compliment my cooking again this time?”“I already ate it.”“But at the very least, I want to hear your comet. You kept eating without saying anything.”“I already ate it, isn’t that clear evidence that I didn’t reject your food. At least the taste is still acceptable to the human tongue, hence why this human wants to

Violet opened her eyes and frowned. Her blurred vision clearly felt unfamiliar with the place where she opened her eyes, but no sooner had she paused and remembered, than Violet remembered where she was. Because of this, she hurriedly turned her body around to find Victor sleeping next to her.This was the second time Violet had woken up looking at Victor’s face to start her day. But the first time, Violet hadn’t been this close. She and Victor were like two poles far apart, but now they were like twigs and leaves that were always attached.Violet moved closer, wanting to see the details of the man’s face more closely. As she stood still and looked at him, Violet realized that Victor was indeed as handsome as everyone said he was. All this time she had recognized it silently, covered in prestige and always denying it even to herself. But now, she didn’t hesitate to smile, amazed.Her mind, which had not been filled with anything, was now filled with Victor, Victor and Victor. Violet w

Jack was silent for a moment, at a loss for an answer. “I-I did it because I had no other choice. I wanted a child so badly-““Well, I see,” Verlaine said, interrupting Jack’s unfinished speech, “the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree,” he said with a quiet murmur.Verlaine then cleared his throat loudly, as if signaling he was about to begin his important conversation with Connor and Jack tonight.Connor began with, “As you told me on the phone that you would tell me about the next plan tonight. Tell me.”Verlaine raised both eyebrows. “Ouh... you’re so impatient, Mr. Grayson,” he said in a joking tone. “Is it because it’s late, so you don’t want to make small talk any longer?”“I brought Jack so you can use him for your plans too,” Connor replied, changing the subject.Verlaine raised one eyebrow, realizing that Connor was really impatient for the plan he had. “Well... I’ll say it,” Verlaine said then, no longer wanting to mince words. “In a few days, there will be a party held by

"Beautiful tuxedo," said the man with hazel eyes, to the short-haired woman standing in front of him. "When did you buy it?"Maria smiled broadly, pleased that the choice item she had bought for Verlaine had responded so well to the man. She rushed to her lover, sitting on Verlaine's lap intimately as she put her arms around his neck."I bought it a long time ago but since you've been so busy lately, it's been difficult for me to find the right time to give it to you," Maria said, explaining in more detail. Verlaine simply nodded and smiled, though his heart was still cold as ever. "Do you like it?" Maria's question drew Verlaine's gaze away from his gift.The man smiled sweetly, growing wider. "Of course," he replied, pecking her cheek gently.Maria was delighted. She then without hesitation kissed him briefly on the lips, showing her happiness. They looked at each other for a few seconds, until Maria spoke up again."Verlaine, what did you do during your vacation? That place yo

That distracted Violet from the beautiful dresses before her. “Really? What is it?” “A wedding anniversary celebration.” “Ah, Mrs. Scarlett and her husband, huh?” said Violet, smiling, her eyes focused on the dresses again. “Your adoptive parents will be celebrating their wedding anniversary. It must be a happy day for them.” “We’re also allowed to be happy on their happy day.” Violet froze, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean?” she asked later. “Should we go to the dance?” asked Victor, causing Violet to turn her face away slowly. The girl stared at Victor, confirming her thoughts which were immediately confirmed by Victor’s next words. “Should we pick out the dresses now?” Violet, of course, would immediately smile widely. She nodded her head with twinkling eyes, looking very excited and happy. The two of them started their agenda; choosing a dress that would be used to attend the celebration party like Victor said. While her feet were busy moving to and fro, Violet’s l

Later that day, they decided to go out. The romantic term is 'date'. Victor waited for Violet to get ready, and Violet waited for Victor to get ready. One thing in common was that as a result of the waiting time, they were mesmerized by each other's charms in their date-ready best. Violet smiled broadly, waiting for Victor to come out of the room and watching him from the dining table with her chin propped up. "Your dress sense isn't much different from the last time, but somehow it looks so luxurious and appropriate this time," Violet says, complimenting him. Victor smiled slightly and walked over. "Is it because I'm seeing it with love this time? You look absolutely marvelous." "I didn't know you were the type to compliment your partner," Victor said, taking Violet's hand to lead her out of the apartment. "Hm. I didn't know I was the type of person to do this to their partner either. You were my first partner, you know?" "Really?" "Yeah... I've only ever confessed my feelings,

Meanwhile, Verlaine was now hurrying away to a place, which was none other than his private apartment. There, he would meet Maria who had just finished cooking a meal for herself. Maria had no idea that Verlaine had returned from his ‘vacation’ in Vermont, she only knew that he had extended his vacation on the pretext of falling in love with the vast and soothing expanse of grass.Hence, when she saw his presence at the technological door, she couldn’t help shouting his name. “VERLAINE...!” The woman ran at full speed, rushing to hug Verlaine tightly while her body was twisted like a romance scene in a movie.“Are you coming home today?” asked Maria as soon as Verlaine released her embrace. She was delighted to see Verlaine standing in front of her after they had not seen each other for almost a week.“Yes. I wanted to give you a surprise,” Verlaine replied as he kissed Maria’s neck, making her grimace occasionally in amusement. “You were surprised?”“I’m so surprised that I’m speech
