I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 159 : Tiffany's Another Side
"Okay, today's lesson is over. See you in the next lesson." During his week in Denver, Xiel thought he enjoyed his job. Being a high school teacher was not too difficult, probably because he was a genius-he could act like a good teacher despite having no experience. The only thing that was a little troublesome during his time as a teacher was his popularity, which drew a lot of attention, especially among the students. "Mr. Addams, do you offer private classes after school? I was wondering how fast my academic progress would be if I could get extra classes from you." "Unfortunately Catherine, but I don't think I can offer extra classes after school. You'll have to find another teacher." "Mr. Addams, do you have a girlfriend yet?" "Maya, we discussed this two days ago. I am engaged." "But I haven't seen you wearing a ring since day one." "It just so happens that my engagement ring is missing, and I'm ordering a new one. You'll see it soon." "What a lucky girl to be the partner

"I didn't know you were interested in piano like this, Tiffany." Tiffany was surprised, spontaneously stopping her piano playing as she saw Xiel watching her with a faint smile from the doorway. "Mr. Addams... I didn't know you were there." "Well, I was on my way to my next class and heard someone playing the piano even though there was no music class today. It turned out to be you." "I'm sorry that I played the piano without permission; I should have come back sooner after dropping off those books." "No, you're not. I'm the one apologizing for listening to you play the piano secretly, but you played it really well. Have you ever taken piano lessons before?" Tiffany smiled a little at Xiel's praise, but then she looked sluggish when Xiel asked further. "I've never taken piano lessons, I just took the basics at my previous school," Tiffany said. "Wow... but your playing is really good." Xiel approached her, standing next to the open piano. Tiffany shook her head, smiling stiffl
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 161 : Xiel's Plan On Process
Victor would go for his training. He had already arranged the schedule and was going to go with Vander. Vander was not his new martial arts teacher, he had only been following Victor since they went to the gym together and was interested in seeing Victor train. Maybe he just enjoyed seeing the process of Victor getting stronger. Victor seemed to laugh every time he remembered that line from Vander. Victor was walking towards the lobby when he bumped into Violet and they stopped to stare awkwardly at each other before looking away like they were strangers. It had been almost a month since what had happened at Giselle Leighton's birthday party, and Victor had granted Violet's wish to act like a stranger to her. Victor had never asked about how Violet was doing after that night, and Violet had never come to him to ask how Victor was doing after being injured from saving her, or to thank him. "She really wants us to go back to being strangers," Victor said, laughing bitterly, but he d

Tiffany walked the corridors of her school with a more cheerful face. Since she had a good relationship with her teacher and that relationship grew closer after becoming his piano lesson student, Tiffany felt she had a friend she always dreamed about after a long time. After her father became a suspect in the embezzlement of Denver city funds, Tiffany never had any friends. Even though she was very young at the time of the case and when Tiffany even didn't understand what crimes her father had committed and why she should feel the tremendous effects of what he had done. But after a long period of loneliness and hatred from many people, Tiffany finally felt what it was like to have a friend; someone who smiled if you succeed, who supported you if you feel insecure and who was on your side even though everyone hated you for no reason. Tiffany saw it all in Axelio Addams; the person who managed to change her life and gave her the opportunity to have great achievements such as being th
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 163 : Don't Mess With The Genius Hacker
Xiel should have realized what was happening after seeing Tiffany who was not in class, unlike her usual. Tiffany was a rule-abiding child, she would ask permission from every teacher who would enter her class next if she intended to be absent for some reason. But there was no reason for Tiffany to be absent, and something had definitely happened to her. Xiel would know it wasn't a good one."Where did the girls take Tiffany?" Xiel looked worried, but he tried not to attract anyone's attention. Everyone in the class but he was in the corridor, looking around. "Those girls never seemed to like Tiffany, but did Tiffany get bullied at school too? Wow... if her father finds this out, he'll be broke into the pieces." Even so, Xiel kept looking for Tiffany all over the place, although sometimes he got a little lost because he didn't know the school environment very well yet. "Damn! Is there a hidden place in this school? Tiffany's not in the music room, or anywhere! Did they go outside th
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 164 : No Longer Friend
With a hesitant tone, the woman answered. "I don't think so." Eve was still watching Victor's expression, looking suspicious for such a gray situation. Their leader had been missing since last night, no one knew where he was. Then when the only person who most likely knew where he was, that person looked confused too. That made Eve even more doubtful, she asked. "Do you know anything, Victor?" But she was ignored, Victor then waltzed away in a hurry, leaving her standing looking at the man's departure suspiciously. In just a moment of time out of every hectic second, William would pause to take in his surroundings. Too much blood he saw, too noisy screams that still echoed in his memory space. When he just stood and gazed at nature intently, a calm gust of wind took it all away. The vicious circle is sometimes not something that one wants to repeat over and over again, just like William Odolff who actually ignored everything to get this far. As he said, no one is born to be a sinn
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 165 : I See Who You Are
In the end Ashtelle turned her back on her husband and wept silently. She tried to hold back her tears, it didn't work. Even when she tried to hold back the sound of her crying, it escaped some. William could see that his favorite woman's shoulders were shaking, but she again swallowed her tears and turned away with a mask of obstinacy that had not been put on perfectly. "So, what's your answer to my first question, William?" asked Ashtelle, making William think back to the woman's first question. William gave a small smile. "Cleaning things up," William replied, briefly. "Are you going to help Victor? Or choose Verlaine?" "I can't vote for Verlaine, Ash. After all, he's no longer part of my group. I must be a firm leader of my pack, for my pack." William paused for a moment, almost making Ashtelle think the opposite. "But I can't help Victor with this either." "Why?" "Because this battlefield is his." When she heard that, Ashtelle remained silent as she looked deeply into her h
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 166 : Glad To Know You
No sooner was he back up to speed than the cell phone, which seemed to have been ignored, lit up-providing a sound and vibration that made Victor turn his attention back to the flat object. Victor pulled over again, picked up his cell phone and opened the message Adam had given him. When he read the message that Adam had managed to track William's whereabouts, Victor seemed to smile with relief. But when he found out where William was most likely to be, all the man could manage was a disappointed expression. Really, Victor didn't want to be prejudiced, nor did he want to think that William had disappeared after meeting his son. Victor didn't want to... he couldn't bear the thought of what might happen if what he was thinking was real. He took a breath, letting it out slowly before he started the engine again and rushed off to the location Adam had sent him. But Victor couldn't help it, his head was now filled with negative images of what might happen where he was going. Despite

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
