I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 140 : Better Lost
Victor can't take it anymore, and neither can his feelings. In a fit of rage, Victor attacked Antonio. Antonio easily dodges his random and messy movements, and he once again fires a bullet into Victor's right shoulder. But that didn't stop Victor from falling. Victor, who had always looked as calm as the frozen surface of Violetgai's water, now looked like the vortex of a tornado. He ignored the pain that made even Violet, who was just watching, want to cry. When a person moves on emotion, there are two possibilities: he will move irregularly and become easily destroyed, or move without hesitation and become unrivaled. Victor chose possibility number two. He realized that focusing on emotions alone would not win him the match. Since his opponent was a person who relied on words to destroy feelings, Victor chose to become unrivaled by putting his feelings aside for a moment. Victor held back, then reversed the attack. There was no way Antonio could easily overcome Victor's profes

Victor still remembers vividly that, amongst the medically-clad people he didn't recognize at all, he saw a vague figure running towards him.His vision was still blurry and his head was too heavy to lift. Victor knew this must be the effect of the anesthetic still controlling him. It felt like he wanted to close his eyes, even though the problem was over and he had successfully paralyzed the people who were planning to steal his heart. But still, she felt very sleepy.However, the sensation was different when that person walked into his room and grabbed his hand."Victor!" Victor forced himself to open his eyes, and slowly the form of someone he knew became apparent in his eyes. "Can you walk? You can't fall asleep again!" he said, his voice loud and bold, a stark contrast to the sight Victor had seen so many times before that he couldn't believe his eyes.Dylan, the man now holding Victor up, helped him out of the operating room. "I'm glad I found you," he said, smiling with rel
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 142 : See You
Violet did not understand what was happening to her at the moment. She was too conscious to realize the great danger that lay ahead of her by staying in the same room with a murderer and criminal like Verlaine. All she could think about was how to escape, but none of those thoughts could move her body. Instead, Violet remained where she was, curled up on the floor with Verlaine looking down at her from his throne. Violet seemed to be begging Verlaine to let her go, begging for her life. But it wasn't really like that when you look at how casually Verlaine was dealing with her own mess. He's been telling stories, as if that's his only purpose in seeing Violet. Is this what he meant by seeking comfort for his heart? But Violet still doesn't know what the big deal is that makes Verlaine do this. Violet ventured to glance over at where Verlaine was. The man was sitting with his elbows resting on his knees, looking like he was realizing something. But Violet couldn't quite put her fin
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 143 : Be Honest
Violet was silent for a long time, her lips unable to reply to what Verlaine had asked her. Meanwhile, Verlaine laughed triumphantly again at her words, smiling at her as she said, "You hypocrite!" she directed at Violet who was shocked at what she had said. "Just tell me that you adore that man so much that you don't care who he is. Whether he's a criminal, a thief, or a demon, you'll still defend him and find justification for his crimes. You're just like Mom and Dad, you're just as hypocritical as they are.""I'm not a hypocrite, Verlaine," Violet replied, distracting Verlaine who seemed to be fiddling with the gun in his fingers. "I'm telling the truth and I'm not looking for any defense of Victor. You and Victor are the same, but you're different because here-I love him.""Don't make me laugh by bringing up love, Miss-""You won't understand, Verlaine. No matter how I explain it, you won't understand what it is about love that I believe in. You even reject the form of love your p
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 144 : Meet Denver's Ex Mayor
Xiel met someone he really wanted to meet. Like an outcast, he was completely unaffected by what happened between Victor and his friends; even though sometimes he was musing and thought about Rihana. Maybe Xiel still couldn't believe that Rihana was dead, but he wasn't surprised too much because he also knew James well. “Well, as expected from a cold-blooded mafia family. He didn't even care if it was his daughter, and killed her because of what someone else said. It's terrible; maybe soon I will be the one killed by him for unreasonable reasons too.” Xiel watched the street while the car was still running and took him to his destination. Then not long after, the car entered the yard of a large house. The place was like a palace in the deep forest, people would not know that after they had passed through a long path surrounded by big trees—they would encounter such a fascinating house like this. This was something that was done on purpose, so that the owner could hide quietly wit

Antonio closed his work the moment he heard what Verlaine said. “So he's starting to move, huh?” he said, smiling but holding back annoyance. “As I heard from my spies there, Axielo Grande used Victor Leighton's identity to get permission to meet with Miguel Anderson. He also used a disguise like Victor and met Miguel this morning.” “A professional trick… but like carelessness. Did he do it on purpose to let me know?”“He has no fear.” “He should be like that, Verlaine. To be able to survive in a vast jungle full of wild animals, You have to be brave and fiercer than the animals that can eat you, even though you are just a rabbit." Verlaine listened to his father's advice obediently. Until Antonio linked his fingers and said, “But the laws of nature will remain unchanged, predators will remain predators, and prey will remain food for predators. Verlaine, we were born different from the losers out there. We were born to be predators, we were born to occupy the highest position on t
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 146 : The Bigger Threat
Victor brooded in his office, looking out at the city night's view from the glass walls of his spacious and luxurious office. He thought about Dylan and the little spat that was going on, making their relationship cold and never like this before. Victor understood that everything Dylan had told him was because Dylan was still feeling chaotic and emotionally unstable after Rihana's sudden and unforeseen death. Victor also didn't understand why James Barney, who was originally very calm as if he didn't care about Rihana's life, became very aggressive and killed his own daughter. But after learning who orchestrated all of this, Victor could do nothing else but strengthen his resolve to take revenge immediately. "Interfering with my life wasn't enough for him, and now he's interfering with my friend's life... really sneaky," Victor said, sharply staring out the glass wall and not realizing that Xiel was already behind his chair. Victor was slightly startled when he noticed Xiel from

"What is your plan?" Xiel pulled something out of his leather jacket, threw some thick paper on the table and showed some photos of a young girl. "Who is she?" Victor asked. "Miguel Anderson's youngest child, Tifanny Anderson. She's 15 years old this year and will be entering the best girls leadership school in Denver."Victor looked at the photos and let Xiel smoke next to him."Where did you get all these photos? Are you stalking a minor like a pedophile?""Watch your mouth. My mom could back from the death and slap you with that unruly mouth of yours!""Wouldn't you be happy if she lived again?"Xiel sighed. Pocketing one hand while the other one he used to smoking."I want you to make me one of the teachers at that school.""What?" Victor was a little surprised by Xiel's words."An intern teacher is fine too. No, becoming an intern teacher is the best choice. I want to approach that little girl to threaten her father.""So you're going to pretend to be her personal bodyguard to

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
