That day I decided not to go to classes again and make up with Paulina for all the hardships I've caused her. I wanted to show her that I loved her dearly after all this time of having issues with her. Now that she'd finally taken it, I needed to show that I loved her as well. I pushed the wheelchair towards my car and helped her out of it before carrying her into the front seat of the car. During this period everyone was staring at me while conversing among themselves. They didn't stop doing the live streaming and even came close to us. Of course, I didn't mind them and carried the wheelchair into the boot of the car before entering into it. I then drove the car out of the school campus. During this moment there was a deep silence between the two of us and the atmosphere was very awkward. Finally, Paulina spoke up," You don't hate me for what I did today, right?"
After communicating with the Enigmatic System about helping me make Paulina a player like me, I turned to her and said, "Do you believe me if I say that you'd be able to get back on your feet today?" I stared into her eyes with a very soft expression. My gaze this time wasn't filled with craziness despite the Joker personality trying to act up right now. I didn't care about my Joker personality and didn't bother to control it. I decided to be myself and flow fluently. Paulina looked into my eyes for a long period of time before saying, "To be honest I have my doubts. I really can't believe that I would be able to get back on my feet. Even with your special abilities, I don't think you're capable of that." Although this wasn't what I'd wanted to hear from her I wasn't disappointed. This was because Paulina was the most honest girl I've ever met. She spoke her mind instantly without trying to please me.
After the excitement we both got into the car and I decided to take her to one of the biggest restaurants in the city to eat. We ordered fried rice with salad and sat down to eat. With the current money in my account I could continue living a luxurious life without being afraid that I would go bankrupt. "So...what level are you as an Enigmatic player?" Paulina asked me as she dug her fork into the chicken before slicing a small proportion of it away with her knife. "My level?" I raised my eyebrows. "I'm a level three player." "You became a level three player and it hasn't been up to three weeks since you got the Enigmatic System?" "Yeah," I replied. Was it something to be shocked about? The missions I took were dangerous so was the quest which I had last taken. In fact it was the most dangerous thing I'd ever agreed to. I still remembered being almost killed by t
As I saw the men in black hop out of their cars, I couldn't help but wonder why the Wade family was always sending their men to hunt me. I shielded Paulina who didn't have any player skill yet as the men aimed their guns at me. "Long time no see," Darwin said as he walked towards me. "It hasn't been up to hours and you're already enjoying yourself." "What do you want?!" I immediately yelled at him as I clenched my fists. "What do I want?" Darwin asked in a very cold voice. "Of course you know what I really want from you but are you willing to give it to me?" As I stood facing them I couldn't help but wonder how to get myself from this situation. Darwin didn't know that I was the person from last night who had stolen Dominic's criminal record. This was because if he knew, he would have attacked me a long time ago without engaging in small talks with me. "Who is he
When we got to the house Paulina was still shivering from the whole incident. I would have been scared if this had been the first time witnessing something like this but I was already experienced. I have taken different types of missions and gained experience from them all. "Who the hell was that really?!" Paulina was screaming when we got to the sitting room. Her entire body was covered in cold sweat and she was already panting. "Easy, Paulina," I tried to calm her down. "We didn't get hurt so why are you still scared?" "Aren't you scared?" she asked me in surprise. "Yes," I replied. "I'm really scared of that guy and it's because I can't fight him yet. But I can always find a way to escape since I already know five of his players' skills and can guard against them." "No wonder you reacted quickly to the lightning strike," Paulina said thoughtfully.
That evening after discussing with Paulina, I decided to give Stephen a call. Since he was a private detective he was more experienced than us. So he would be the best person to turn to for help in situations like this. The Wade family was already at my heels and I didn't know how to handle the situation. First, I wasn't as wealthy and influential as the Wade family. Heck, most people still didn't know me despite me being the talk on social media. Second, my player level was too low. I was just at level three while a single bodyguard in the Wade family was already at level ten. The difference was as clear as day and night and couldn't be breached in a short amount of time. I didn't even know whether Darwin was the weakest bodyguard the Wade family had and if there were other bodyguards in a very high level than him. I took my phone and gave Stephen a call. For some time he didn't pick but after five times of trying he fin
The sitting room was silent for some moments as every one of us was embedded in his own thoughts. I couldn't help but wonder how long this silence would last because it was becoming too heavy for me to bear.[YOU STILL HAVE ME]Don't me shout at you, system, I said inwardly so as not to disturb anyone's thoughts. [STOP SAYING WHAT YOU CANNOT DO]The Enigmatic System sent another message but I didn't reply and swiped the holographic screen from my face."From what I know Mr. Wade isn't that simple himself," Stephen finally broke the silence and I was glad he actually did that. I was very emotional and wanted to hug him at that moment but held myself.This my Joker personality is developing into something else, I couldn't help but clench my fists in order to control myself from acting on my impulse. And my impulse was telling me to stand up and give Stephen a big hug."He has Darwin as one of his bodyguards based on my investigations," Stephen continued. "There are a bunch of other bod
After talking about the Download skill we soon decided to get back to the matter at hand. The Wade family had now made it clear that they are after me so I needed to find a way to get out of this predicament. I was only a level three player and wasn't yet a billionaire so I couldn't match up to Mr. Wade yet. If it had been only Dominic then he wouldn't have been a problem. But now the entire Wade family was involved and I didn't know how to handle it."I think we should do something they least expect us to do," Stephen finally suggested. He was very smart and I give him credit for that despite knowing that he has a crush on my girlfriend. I won't let that affect my judgment in any way."Something like what?" I asked Stephen and waited for his answer.Stephen stood up and folded his hands as he walked from his position casually. I'd watched several mystery movies so I knew that detectives walked this way in them when they were analyzing something or coming out with theories.Paulina st
