BRAK!
The VVIP room door of a nightclub was opened by Max's foot kick. His arrival startled Zaco, Tiffany and therest of their partying friends who stopped what they were doing."Look who's here... the nouveau riche," Zaco said, sounding more relaxed.Seeing Zaco talking that casually, Max was furious. Max rushed towards Zaco to give him a punch in the face, but Zaco didn't even move a centimeter from where he was sitting."Is this what a man's fist feels like?" Zaco asked. "Bastard! You're the one who hit Irrisia, right!" "What?" Zaco asked innocently."Last night in front of Iglechi restaurant! You hit Irrisia with your fancy car! You wanted to kill her, huh? You see what you're doing now! You made Irrisia never walk again!"Max's statement took the whole room by surprise, as did Zaco who immediately regained his calm and smiled casually."You come in and break the door, punch me in the face and then accuse me of criminal action... honestly this is enough to sue you.""You should be sued in court!"Zaco raised one eyebrow and stood up, walking over to Max and punching him so hard in the face that he fell onto the sofa."Who says I'm going to sue you in court when I have my own laws?" Zaco grabbed Max by the collar, then punched Max repeatedly like he did in the gym."You thought I'd be happy with your illogical actions! You bastard! You ruined this happy day! You're trash that should be burned to the ground until there's nothing left!"This time there really wasn't anyone who was going to help Max, even they were holding back their laughter as Max was overwhelmed by Zaco's punches that eventually left him lying limp on the floor of the room.Zaco sighed, then kicked Max in the stomach until he spewed water from his mouth. "Ew," Tiffany said, with no intention of helping."I'll give you some advice, young man. Being rich isn't enough to touch the ends of my hair. You understand who I am and who you are, right? I'm the great sky and you're just trash in the mud. How many tens of millions of light-years do you think it would take to touch me?" said Zaco in a proud and condescending tone."And as for that arrogant woman, I hope you break the news slowly. You brought such sad news in front of Tiffany and my friends, look at them, they are so shocked and unprepared for the tragic news," Zaco said, making Max look at their faces one by one and there was no expression of shock at all."Oh my God, can she really never walk again?" asked Madison, Tiffany's friend and Paranova's number one female bully. "Then are her legs cut off? They're useless now, right? You see, my grandfather who was a gardener once said that he often cut off the branches of his own garden because they had no use. She would still look like a human, though, even if her legs weren't there. Just like my grandfather's tree, which is still called a tree even if the branches are gone, haha!""HAHAHA!"The sound of laughter grew louder while Max cried in helplessness. He wanted to stand up and punch Zaco in the face, but his energy was already spent crying, screaming and defending against the burly man's attacks.Zaco squatted in front of Max and hit him once on the head. "Next time, come politely and reflect the nobility in you-well, even if it's just a product of your imagination, because even the tiniest ant knows that you're an orphan!""Haha, an orphan! What a pity.""It must be hard to survive without parents. What a cruel world, kid?"Zaco laughed mockingly and said again. "And as for your accusation... you should rethink it. Did you deserve to do that to me? Was it appropriate? Or... were you the source of the problem all along?" Zaco asked, looking like he was going to stomp on Max's face in his next move. "Irrisia became like that not because of me, but because of your relationship with her. You should realize that you're a source of disease, a source of trouble for everyone. Being rich won't make you instantly clean and noble. You need millions of light years to be able to wash away all the stains on your body."Zaco looked like he was about to leave, but he stopped and said, "Or do you want to use a car wash? Haha. My uncle is the owner of the world's largest car wash."After saying that, Zaco left with his friends. But before he closed the door, he smiled secretly at Max, as if confirming that that night, he was the one who hit Irrisia.Max wasn't wrong, but when the culprit was in front of his eyes, he couldn't do anything about it. The feeling got worse and made Max scream in frustration along with the loud music.***Max woke up after a night in the VVIP room of the nightclub. His head was dizzy and he remembered what happened, making him feel worse and he just sat there hopelessly."Did I really jinx it? Irrisia became like that because of me. If only I hadn't asked her to team up " Maxlooked down, not eager to see the sunlight.Irrisia was still in a coma, but when she woke up, how would Max talk to her? How would Max apologize to her?"I can't even catch the person who did that to her. I'm still a weakling to the end," Max said, holding back tears of despair. "I also failed the mission. Now I'm going to be kicked out of a system I haven't even used to its full potential?"Max looked at his phone, it was almost noon and he didn't want to get out of there."Zaco's right, being rich isn't enough to defeat him. I should just become Superman so I can laser his body and split it into 98 pieces."Max rubbed his face roughly, then the system screen appeared in front of him again. [Ting!][Task successfully completed] [Sending reward to user]Max was dumbfounded, he immediately opened his cell phone and sure enough-the $3,500,000 had already arrived in his account. That meant he had successfully completed the task. But hadn't he failed to save Irrisia from the incident that night?Where was the success?"Because I took Irrisia to the hospital, does that count as saving her from harm?" asked Max, not understanding. "Either way, I shouldn't have been kicked out of the system, right? I still have a chance to make a lot of money."Speaking of money, Max remembered revenge. He clenched his fists and was determined."Alright, I still believe that money can do everything, I just need to be a little smarter in using it. If I can, I'll beat Zaco," Max said. "Irrisia, I'll make a lot of money, I'll be strong and get revenge!" Unlike a few minutes ago, Max now seemed excited.Then his cell phone buzzed. "Hello?"" ""IRRISIA!?"Max ran down the hospital corridor at high speed, just so he could get to and open the door to Irrisia's room.He saw that Irrisia had opened her eyes, just as the infirmary had said and made her come to this place immediately.Irrisia immediately looked at Max when the door opened, probably because she was a little surprised."Irrisia" Max called out to her, then slowly sat down near her bed. "How are you feeling?" Max asked, tryingnot to show his sadness and pity for Irrisia.Irrisia smiled slightly and replied. "It still hurts, but not as bad as when I opened my eyes." "Are there any areas that still hurt?""Other than my head, no." Irrisia glanced at her feet and looked at Max. "I thought my whole body would hurt, but my legs don't even feel it anymore.""Irrisia ...." Max was dumbfounded and felt guilty. "Did you hear from the doctor? About your legs""Yes, I heard about it. He said I only have a small chance of recovery.""Why are you smiling? Doesn't it hurt you a lot? You w
Andrew stopped and turned to look at Max who had just made an eye-opening statement. "What did you say?" asked Andrew, asking for a repetition.Max actually didn't want to give evidence since he thought the police would do better than him and arrest Zaco, but it seemed like his wish didn't materialize and he had to make his own move."I know who hit the victim that night. I know him!"Andrew didn't look enthusiastic even though Max had said that. He just crossed his arms in front of his chest and listened to Max as if it was just a formality."All right, let's hear your statement that you've been silent for three days." Max smiled awkwardly, then asked. "Aren't you going to write it down?""Fine, I'll take notes." Andrew went back to his desk followed by Max who sat in front of Andrew again. The policeman opened a book and held a pen, preparing to write down Max's statement."Tell me the physical characteristics of the suspect that you know, the background, where they work and what th
A few days later, Max was busy with classes. Since he had a lot of money, some things were no longer a problem for him, including work. Max was more focused on studying and Irrisia was also focused on recovering from her accident.Max is hoping for good news, like hope for Irrisia to be able to walk again through some therapy. Then there was the arrest of Zaco as a suspect in the hit-and-run that cost Irrisia as a victim.Max heard the news that today Zaco Erzema was picked up by the police at his house to be interrogated about the hit-and-run case. Max was of course very happy because he thought the police must already have evidence to arrest Zaco."That smug guy will finally get his punishment!" Max said, driving with excitement to see Zaco arrested. "He'll get the taste of prison that he craves. Irrisia will get justice!"Max was so excited that he drove at top speed, just to get to the police station.After parking, Max hurriedly got out of the car, he couldn't wait to see Zaco ar
Max continued his investigation to find evidence of the night's accident. He investigated several places around the scene, just to make sure CCTV cameras were installed and recorded the car that hit Irrisia."The police said that there was no camera footage they could get that night. It was impossible! The streets are very long, and there are many shops along the way that have CCTV cameras installed. I'm getting suspicious." Max walked on while looking at the buildings. Most likely the car was traveling in the direction of the street in front of them, and there was no way they wouldn't have any footage while the CCTV cameras were installed.Max entered one of the stores where he saw the CCTV, intending to ask for help and see the footage. But he came out with one of the assistants."I'm sorry, sir, but as you can see inside, there's nothing else you can find here." "But!"The door closed first.Max sighed in disappointment, as this wasn't the first time.There had been five times when
Max was stunned, dumbfounded by Darius' statement.Max immediately grasped Darius' shoulder, making the 40-year-old man surprised. "Are you serious?" Max asked."Huh? What do you mean?""You have footage of the car at your gym?""Yes, I have it. Isn't the footage near the scene enough to make the police find the car? This place is full of big shops, they must have all installed CCTV cameras, right?"Max was relieved, so relieved that he wanted to cry. Darius was confused. "Hey, what's going on? Why are you so emotional?""Darius, take me to your place."***Max had never expected this kind of coincidence to come his way.He had been so focused on Irrisia since that night, that he didn't realize that Darius' gym was not far from the scene.Max didn't even need to take a car to get to Darius' gym from the restaurant, and during the walk together, he told him what happened."I'm so sorry for you, Max. I didn't know that the accident happened to your girlfriend, and that she was with you
Max felt terrible that all this was happening. He couldn't wait to meet with Aimy, so that he can be able to proceed to the next option. He ignited his car engine and zoomed off to the hospital. He walked to the room but couldn't find Irrisia. "Did I make a mistake?" He stepped out to confirm. "But this is the room. Where is she?" Max rushed to the doctor's office to ask his girlfriend. "I can't find her""Who?" "Irrisia, my girlfriend" "Oh! Have you forgotten you sent someone to request for her discharge, which I did and she has been taken home" "What? And the bills?" "It has been cleared" Max couldn't believe his ears. He wanted to grab the doctor but he had to behave like a gentle rich guy that he is. "Please, can you describe who came to take her home?" "Max, I don't think I can do that now. I am quite busy. If you don't mind, you can leave. Besides, the person signed" Max thought it would be a good idea to see the signature. "At least, can I see the papers where the pers
"Can you tell us what happened to him?" Max was seriously shaking because he can't really tell what happened. "Officer, we just came out of the hospital, trying to enter my car and I heard a gunshot. I was surprised to see him down, already covered in his own blood. I tried to speak to him but noticed his lifeless body" The officer was hitting his black stick on his other palm and was looking at Max with a smirk on his face. "Does this story make any sense to you? By the time we lock you up, you will tell us the real truth" Max's eyes were filled with tears but he tried to hold them back. His heart was beating so fast that even someone close to him could hear. He felt like his whole world was tearing apart. He wished he never started all these. Dating Irrisia brought all these problems to him. He wanted to regret it but he got brave again. "If I had known what happened to your colleague, I wouldn't have come back here" Max was held till Darius came to bail him out. "Thank you so
Maximilian stood before the long mirror, gazing at the failing image of himself. His eyes were red, bulgy and face tear stained.He seemed terribly sad and weakened by the whole event that had ensued in the past few days.It was worse that after all his efforts, the system was quiet and was saying absolutely nothing."The same fucked up system that got me in this whole mess!" He yelled and slammed his hands against the dressing table. His nurse sat across from him, her gaze fixated on him."Who is the system?" The frail old woman asked with her voice shaking. "I had been so curious about how you got the money to buy this luxury life in such a short time. I hope this is not some occultic society?"Nurse Cecilia was an Italian woman he had known almost all his life. She was in fact Maximilian's personal nurse while he stayed at the Orphanage home. She was a huge woman with a chubby look but now, age was really telling on her. She loved Max so much and often defended him against his cru
