“I waited three hours for you!” Shiney tried her best to not yell at the woman sitting across the table in Malcolm’s restaurant, the same restaurant where Jim tried to join but was refused because of Marc’s intervention.Veronica, the woman sitting in front of Shiney, was very beautiful to look at. So, Shiney couldn’t quite get angry at her.“Something urgent came up, so I ended up coming late,” Veronica said. She was the same as Shiney, and both of them had similar body structures. The only difference was that Shiney had a long face and a bigger nose, which Shiney didn’t like. “Still, you waited three hours for me. I’m very impressed by your patience levels. So, I won’t charge any money for the tips I’m going to give you today!”“That’s nice,” Shiney gladly accepted it because she didn’t have much pocket money left with her anyway. “Then tell me… How am I going to get close to my brother-in-law? I want him to love me and think of no woman other than me. How can I get him to look at n
The next morning.Jim woke up in Rena’s bed, feeling very relaxed and cozy because her bed felt like heaven. Even though Rena wasn’t physically present, her scent was all over the pillow and blanket, so it made him feel very comfortable.“I wonder if Marc started making breakfast,” he laughed a little. “Last night, I made it very clear that I won’t cook for them. I’m sure Marc must be feeling very angry because he has to wake up early and cook for his wife.” Unable to contain his excitement, he quickly went downstairs and checked in the kitchen.As he guessed, Marc was busy preparing breakfast.“You’re not cooking for me, right, Uncle?” Jim asked.“Hmph, not in a million years,” Marc arrogantly blurted.“Thank you, because I find it difficult to eat your cooking, to be honest,” Jim said and then left.“This brat…” Marc’s blood boiled. Careless, he ended up touching the frying pan and then hissed in pain. “Ugh.” He kept blowing air to his fingers. “Fuck.”Meanwhile, Jim entered the gym
Jim didn’t specifically cook anything for himself. He simply blended some greens and drank the juice. The drink recovered his lost vitality after the three-hour long intense workout.As Jim was going out of the house, Shiney was standing by the Lamborghini as if she was waiting for him. She kept spinning the keys around her forefinger. “Where are you going? Want me to drop you off?”Jim would be lying if he didn’t want to feel this luxury car, but he knew that Shiney was a reckless driver, so he said, “No. I have my skates.” After crossing the gate, he put his rollerblades on and cruised down the street.Shiney came out the gate and saw him leave in a flash. “It always looks so cool. I tried learning how to rollerblade, but it was scary.” After she bruised her elbows and head a few times, she quit. “He’s lucky to have learned them when he was young.”After entering another street, Jim somewhat slowed down and went at a steady speed. With wind blowing in his hair, it was the nicest fee
Out of the four gangsters, Jim beat three of them out of their senses, and then took the fourth guy with him. The fourth guy kept telling Jim he’d give money. “Trust me, dude. You don’t want to do this. Our gang is filled with over fourteen guys. Some of them even went to jail. You don’t want to mess with them. Just take the money I’ll give you, and we’ll not come after that woman and her son anymore.” “I can’t trust the words that come from the mouth of a gangster,” Jim was frank about it. “I’m going to have to deal straight with the boss of your gang for messing with my people.” “Your people? How are you related to them?” “You don’t need to know that.” A few minutes later, Jim reached the destination on his rollerblades while dragging the gangster with him. The headquarters or the gathering point of these local thugs turned out to be a small abandoned kindergarten school which had many holes on its roof. “This place is so shitty even dogs wouldn’t want to stay here for long. Yo
Jim started receiving pop up messages before him in midair, with Joe appearing in the form of a disembodied spirit. Joe looked like a boy in his teens, though his voice was rough like that of a grown man.“Are you, Joe?” Jim asked, looking a little surprised.“Yeah,” Jim kept swimming along the edges of the pop-up box and eventually settled on the top, as if sitting on it sideways, while facing Jim. [You completed the mission without suffering a single injury!] Joe looked happy and pleased. [You can now choose to improve one of your five senses. Which one do you want to improve? Sight, Touch, Taste, Smell, Sound? Which one?]“Aren’t you going to give elaborate details on what each sense does after it’s improved?” Jim asked.[Nope. You’ll have to figure things out for yourself since I still haven’t accepted you as my master.] Joe said. [I’ll start the one minute countdown, so choose one sense before the time limit expires?]“W-Wait, there's a time limit? If I don’t choose, then what h
Jim soon returned to Julia’s house.Both Julia and Daniel were happy to see that he wasn’t wounded anywhere. Jim told them, “I dealt with the gang, and they won’t come after you for money.”Julia was very much relieved to hear that. “H-How? Did you pay them?” she still asked.“He probably roasted their asses, Mom,” Daniel said, grinning. “I should’ve been there to see it.”Julia looked anxious all of a sudden. “You shouldn’t have fought with them, Jim. They are drunkards. They don't know what they do once they’re drunk. What if they come and attack us tonight?”Julia’s words made Jim frown a little. Because Joe had given him a mission, he ended up doing it in a hurry, but now he wondered if he should have dealt it in another way.Just then, siren sounds rang outside, skipping both Daniel and Julia’s hearts. “I-It’s the police! Jim, you should leave through the back door.”“If I leave, they’re going to trouble you guys,” Jim said and walked out through the front door.One officer stepp
A few hours later.One officer went into the cell and practiced his stick-hitting skills on Jim. The sticks weren’t thick but slim and flexible, so they didn’t cause any damage to the bone. However, they hurt the muscle, bringing very much pain.Jim currently didn’t have anything but his underpants on. His body was completely covered in bruises.One officer after another, they took rounds to beat him.The detective that brought Jim to the station finally entered the cell with a stick in his hand.“Is this your righteousness?” Jim asked while bleeding from the mouth.The officer frowned. “Do you know what a couple of my colleagues were saying an hour ago? They were planning on taking you outside tonight to fuck you and then kill you.”Jim was startled to hear that.“I’m nowhere near as bad as them,” the officer continued talking. “They would even fuck dogs or pigs when they’re horny. So, a good-looking man like you is going to make them drool, of course.”A few seconds of silence passe
Jim wanted to send Julia and Daniel away, but he didn’t want them to be taken hostage. Since he also wanted to know who exactly was after him, he ended up walking to the same taxi that was parked across the road in the distance.The driver, who was talking on mobile, was surprised to see Jim. “That bastard’s coming. I’ll call you later.” He quickly ended the call and then lowered the window before looking out at Jim. “What? Changed your mind? It’s going to cost you more this time because you hurt my feelings.”“”I’ll pay you double the amount,” Jim said, making him grin.“Alright. Get inside,” he pointed his thumb backward.Jim first got into the car in the front seat and then told Julia and Daniel to enter. And they did.Daniel told the address to the driver, but only received a little weird smile in return, making Daniel wonder if the driver was stupid or something.The driver started the engine and drove at a steady pace. At first, it seemed like he was heading to Julia’s home, but
