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

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

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

Sahara was taken to a place, neat and luxurious-looking. She didn't know where it was, but she believed it was probably the place where the person who invited her lived.Verlaine."Welcome, Mistress Sahara."Sahara was momentarily taken aback, feeling her breath catch for a few seconds as she looked back at Verlaine's face-when she already knew who Verlaine was.Verlaine watched from her seat, Sahara's tense face that could not be hidden no matter how calmly she acted. It made Verlaine feel a little comforted."From your expression, it seems you already know who I am, huh...?" asked Verlaine, breaking the silence and again making the heart of the woman in front of him race faster. Verlaine crossed his legs casually and said, "Do not be afraid, Madame. I did not lie when I spoke about myself in front of you that time, did I?""But you are the enemy of Victor...?""Yes, I am his enemy." Right now every word that came out of Verlaine's mouth felt like an electric shock that made Sahara g

The unexpected and small encounter left Violet a little confused. Sahara hadn't told her that she was coming to Violet's place unexpectedly.Because of that, Violet couldn't have prepared a better welcome than to host her mother at one of the restaurants close to Victor's apartment. Violet left all her groceries behind and brought her mother to this place. However, all the two of them did was remain silent.Violet really didn't know what to say. Even asking how she was feeling was hesitant, like she was a daughter being picked on by her mother for leaving home with a strange man. Every now and then Violet glanced at Sahara's face. The woman was also, without Violet expecting it, staring at her without seeming to have anything to say. Suddenly, Sahara's cold gaze fell on Violet's hand on the table, a hand tightly wrapped in bandages.Violet gasped, then hurriedly withdrew her hand in a normal, contrived gesture. Of course it was obvious to Sahara's eyes, but Violet foolishly tried

Miguel couldn't calm down at all after finding out what happened without him realizing it. He had been enjoying his time in his luxurious prison so much that he had neglected to keep an eye on his family. "Even though I knew he had shown himself, I knew he was planning something. But I didn't realize that he approached my daughter as a friend. Poor Tiffany, she fell into that man's trap! What should I do? ...." Miguel didn't fall asleep, he couldn't sleep and was only worried about Tiffany. "Should I tell Karina the truth? She can separate Tiffany from Xiel as soon as possible," Miguel was sure of the idea, but then he hesitated. "No... if Karina makes the wrong decision out of panic, I don't know what Xiel would do to my family. He might kill them to get back at me." Miguel squeezed his hair, almost frustrated at being so worried. Until he fell silent. "But Xiel became a friend to Tiffany who was always ostracized, he even helped Tiffany and got back at the people who bullied

"She looks so much better than before. Mr. Addams has been very helpful in Tiffany's recovery, especially for her trauma. Tiffany said she's going back to school tomorrow. Although I'm a little anxious, but I'm glad that I don't see that big fear in her eyes anymore. I also heard that the people who bullied her have been punished by the school and of course by the neighborhood; the incident of the bullying footage being played in the school show is iconic. I want to thank whoever did it for helping my daughter feel better." Miguel just listened to his wife speak from the phone call. She looked happy and Miguel didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. "You sound very grateful that Mr. Axelio Addams was there for Tiffany." "Of course I am! Aren't you grateful? If Mr. Addams hadn't told me, I would never have known that Tiffany had been hiding something so big. She never had any friends and it killed her personality slowly. Also about what you did... it affected her very badly."

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
