I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 114 : How He Overcame Everything
"So you made such a deal with that villain?""Yes, I used his personal reasons to get him to cooperate.""He stole the file to find out something about his mother's case. I still don't understand why a file like that would be so crucial that stealing it could land someone in jail," Violet said, enjoying an ice cream in the shady outdoor cafe.Victor answered after swallowing his durian ice cream."The file contains major cases that not everyone can know about, no media is allowed to cover them, or for cases that shouldn't be solved.""What does that mean?" asked Violet.Victor looked at her and said, "Like entrapment cases where the main goal is not to find the perpetrator and put him in jail, but to ruin someone's life.""You mean... slander?""Yes.""So, was the case involving Xiel's mother 13 years ago just an accusation? And Xiel is looking for that case in order to solve it? He wants to prove his mother's innocence?"Victor snapped his fingers. "More or less," he said,
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 115 : There's No Perfect System
Antonio went back to see The Handler. In his room, they were still talking with the curtains drawn. "Still too shy to show your face?" asked Antonio, fiddling with his glass of chilled wine. "You look calmer than the last time we met, Antonio." "I don't think too much anger is a good thing at my age," replied Antonio, "after all, back then I was angry because you wouldn't tell me about my new system owner. But now, I can be more relaxed because I already know who he is." "Hm. Interesting. Who is he?" Antonio put his glass down rather hard, squared his body and said, "The loser who inherited my blood, the son of Rose." The Handler did not respond. Antonio leaned back casually in his chair. "It's quite unfortunate if this is true. I've never confirmed it firsthand, but from what I've noticed, it's not like you can do that much with just your inheritance, right?" asked Antonio, confident in his words. "Victor, a loser who just got an inheritance out of nowhere, can do many things
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 116 : I Want You To Save Me
"So, where are you going to stay now?" asked Violet. They had finished lunch together and were about to head back. "To our apartment, or somewhere else we can still afford with our own money." There was a look of sadness on Vonn and Vincent's faces, but Victor ruined it with, "Oh, you're not going back home?" "What do you mean?" "I think after being in prison for so long, the place you miss the most is home." Vonn looked annoyed, but Vincent held back his hand. "Are you mocking us?" Victor laughed mockingly, "Do you feel offended?" After that, Victor walked first on his lame leg. "I'd love to kick one of his sticks and let him fall hard," Vonn said, looking vengeful. "Do you want me to talk to Dad?" Violet offered when Victor was some distance away, leaving Vonn and Vincent staring at her in confusion. "Now that the truth is known, Father will be relieved that you're innocent." "Forget it." "Hm?" Vonn looked unconcerned, as did Vincent. "We won't ask anything of dad." Vio
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 117 : Let's Work Together Once Again
Xiel's jaw hardened, he clenched his hands into fists and stared intently. Victor spoke again. "Oh, and that time you played around when I wanted your cooperation, it was very annoying." "So you're reciprocating now?" "Yeah?" "Because you feel I played you once, now you want to play me too?" "I'm honestly not one to play games, but I don't know if you think I'm taking revenge." Xiel averted his gaze, holding back. He was upset but he could not put his ego first. "I'll be your partner." Xiel offered, hoping Victor would melt. "Someone with my skills would be very beneficial in this day and age and I'll make sure you don't regret having me as your partner." Victor did not look interested. "How about a slave?" "I wouldn't want to have a slave who is smarter than me." Xiel laughed, restrained himself again and then his gaze became more serious. He said, "In that case, get me out because the person I want to destroy is the person you also want to destroy." Victor stared at Xiel
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 118 : I Don't Expect Too Much
Chapter 118 [1.6] Victor called his friends to come to his office, including Vander who-since who knows when-had become a part of Victor and his journey. "Good morning," Vander said, carrying his gym bag on his back and still a little sweaty. "Do you want to take a shower? I have a bathroom in this room," Victor said, offering. Vander just smiled and sat on the couch, drinking water. "No need. I'm going to get home and go to work." "Am I interrupting your schedule? You're supposed to shower and get to the hospital, right?" "Never mind," Vander chuckled, a rare thing Victor rarely saw. "Is this your first time calling us? I came because I know my best time to go to work. Behave as usual." Victor didn't know why he felt a little happy at Vander's words. He made his way to the sofa with a limping step, aided by his cane and still a bit of trouble. "Does your leg still hurt?" asked Vander as Victor sat across from him and waited for Vania and Violet to arrive. "It still hurts i
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 119 : Advantageous
Victor was in his office room. Seemingly relaxed but inside his head was full of many things. "Will she succeed in getting Xiel out?" Victor asked, about Vania whom he had assigned to get Xiel out of prison. "I'm confident in Vania's abilities. Not only because she's a math genius, but she's also good at communicating. If she can't get Xiel out the way she should, then she'll use the method I suggested. Haha, I don't know if someone like her can do it or not." Victor remembered Xiel's words that Antonio was the one who framed Elina Stacy. Victor had seen the file about the case 13 years ago and he laughed. "Antonio... you really are a pathetic human being," Victor said, his feet resting on his desk casually. "And what's even sadder is that I have blood of a human like you." Victor tapped the desk with his pen. "You can betray your coworker and ruin her life, and yet you can still laugh smugly in your high position after you've killed her in such a worst way. That's really heartless
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 120 : The Betrayal
Violet came to the table where Antonio was waiting for her. It was surprising to see Verlaine there too. "Hello, Violet. It's been a while. Nice to see you here," Verlaine said, crossing his legs casually and waiting awkwardly for Violet to sit down. A sumptuous Japanese meal was served to them. The room was closed enough for serious conversation. Violet felt a little uncomfortable. "How are you, Violet?" asked Antonio, making Violet look at him and forget about Verlaine. "I'm fine." Violet looked uncomfortable, keeping her head down until Antonio made her lift her head by saying, "And how is your twin brother?" It was surprising to hear Antonio ask how Vonn and Vincent were doing after treating them like outsiders before. "They're fine. ...." "I'm glad to hear that." Violet watched Antonio's face, the man looked like he was holding back a feeling of regret. "I don't know where to start, but I just wanted to express my regret to you, and of course to Vonn and Vincent," Anton
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 121 : Losing Feelings, Getting Cold
Violet looked guilty. If she hadn't known, she would have used Victor to help destroy her own father. "Father, I'm sorry," Violet said, "if I hadn't known this sooner, would I have unknowingly destroyed you by helping Victor and Xiel?" Antonio smiled, understandingly. But in his heart, he laughed. "I understand; in the end, Victor will do whatever it takes to get back at me, even if it means deceiving you. I feel bad for you, Violet, even though it was me who asked you to work there, but it seems like he deliberately stole your heart and made you his chess piece." "So, what should I do, Father? Should I quit the company and be by your side. I also doubt my ability to continue being around her, or...." Violet hesitated to continue her words, and Verlaine took the opportunity to speak. "Or are you afraid that you'll actually turn to Victor's side and betray father?" Violet looked at Verlaine who was insinuating her, then lowered her head. Antonio touched her shoulder and made Viol

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
