MY REINCARNATION REVENGE SYSTEM!

CHAPTER 007: Kill Him! (Mission Impossible)

Going back home after the graduation and having fun with himself, Ethan turned to return home. He was so excited that he just couldn't help but stop at a store to get some food stuff.

He kept dancing to the song playing in the supermarket, but his joy was cut short when he heard muttering voices from behind him.

“Watch him go; it looks as though he has successfully stolen from someone. and can't wait to use their money to pay!”

Ethan stood at a spot as he heard them. He just couldn't move, and he felt a pinch of pain in his veins. He wished to deal with them, but he just couldn't expose himself, at least not yet.

“Who knows if he can pay for it? I bet he'll keep buying on debt while his mother pays for him! Mommy's poor church rat boy!” Another voice uttered, adding a sense of mockery to his tone.

Ethan furiously shut his eyes briefly and clenched tightly on the item that he held in his hand. Without hearing any more word from them, he stormed out and headed for the counter to pay for his items.

Seeing how they tagged him as a thief, they were definitely going to do something crazy if time wasn't taken.

After paying or settling his bills, he stormed out of the store and headed back home, ready to meet his mother and celebrate all night.

After what felt like eternity, he arrived at home, and because he didn't want his mother to feel bad seeing him look all gloomy, he put a smile on his face before opening the door.

“You are back so early... Didn't you go to the afterparty? It's once in a lifetime, you know?” His mother asked the second she saw him standing before the door.

Ethan briefly recalled his past life, and he was definitely bullied during their afterparty. It was his last day as a student, but him getting bullied didn't end.

"No, mom, spending the night with you brings me more joy than staying with friends!” He shook his head as a smile curled up on his lips. He walked over to her table and placed what he bought on it before sitting down.

“What are all these? Where did you get them from?” She was shocked to see what he had brought back home. He has never done it before, so she was scared.

“Don't tell me you've stolen this, Ethan! Please don't do this!” She grabbed his hand as she begged, her eyes reflecting the fear she had in her.

“I didn't steal it, mom. I bought them with the money my system had, and…” he was going to say, but then stopped. The system he got was supposed to be a secret, and not even his mother should know. His second life, too, was to be a secret.

“What system?” She asked, waiting for a response from him.

“I… I didn't mean that. I worked at a system branch a few days ago, and I was able to get this.” He lied, hoping his mother would believe him. She stared at him for a few seconds before believing him.

“Fine! If you say so!” She nodded before she began to eat what he brought.

They had fun, chatted, and gave their promises. It was one night he wouldn't forget in a haste. Soon, they were done eating, and he cleaned the table.

They both retired to their rooms, and the second he changed into his nightwear, he grabbed his phone and laid down on his bed.

He began to search for houses to move into. He had the money now, and making a change was definitely not going to be a bad idea, but it was going to expose him a bit. He just wanted to give his mother the best.

After a few hours of scrolling through his phone, he turned it off and dropped it on his table.

He was going to sleep when the RRS spoke up, the mechanical voice startling Ethan. He had forgotten, for a second, how it sounded.

[Host!]

“Goodness! What do you want this time, RRS?” He echoed as he fought to open his eyes.

[Host can't go into sleep mode yet. Host must accomplish a task by midnight.]

“What? I don't go out at night. Why do you come up with the worst scheme or task?” Ethan complained, seeing that his system tasks were never favouring him.

[Host has to stop a vehicle conveying gold to the Newhope robotics company and swap the proposal slip with the chief of staff. This is the route to getting revenge! It all begins here!] RRS revealed this, making Ethan sit up.

[Once host has accomplished these tasks, host will be rewarded by the Reincarnation Revenge System.]

Ethan, at this point, couldn't speak up; he couldn't refuse the task. He wouldn't be able to survive long if he did. He only nodded and was left to carry out his task.

He swiftly began to finish his proposal to join the company. He always had an interest in the company, and he was definitely going to be richer if he got the position he desired.

Once it was 11:50 p.m, he was done with his work, and he didn't hesitate to change into a different piece of clothing. He wore his black hoodie and black pants.

Ethan made sure that his mother didn't get to see him as he left the house. He headed straight for the bridge. That was where the vehicles heading to the company passed by.

He stood closer to the highway but hid himself so no one would see him. He wasn't sure how he'd ambush a car carrying gold, but he just had to do something.

Soon, he saw a Rolls Royce driving with full speed towards the bridge and a huge truck following it from behind.

“It's now or never!” He muttered as he left his hiding place. He was going to rush towards the truck and open the back doors when, just then, his phone rang out so loudly that it caught the sight of the guards that were in the truck.

“Fuck! Who is calling me!?” He turned off the phone, and by the time he lifted his head, he saw that the truck and the cars had stopped.

Ethan was in trouble now and the only thing he could do was to run. If they caught him, there was definitely no way they'd let him off the hook.

“RRS, you fucking caused this!” He yelled as he turned on his heels and began to run towards the dark streets.

Few guards chased after him and because he wasn't fast, they caught him and dragged him back to their boss who was waiting by the car.

“Let me go!” He struggled to pull out from their grip but they were more hefty than him and he couldn't pull himself out from their grip.

"How dare you?" A deep voice boomed, startling Ethan before he even had a chance to identify the speaker. In an instant, a powerful slap struck Ethan's cheek, sending a sharp sting coursing through his skin.

"Who sent you?" the voice demanded, and as Ethan blinked away the shock, he realised it belonged to the Chief of Staff. His heart pounded in his chest as he struggled to respond, the pain still throbbing in his cheek.

"I wasn't sent by anyone!" Ethan managed to choke out, his voice trembling with both fear and defiance.

"You attack my truck, and you claim no one sent you?" The Chief of Staff advanced, seizing Ethan by the collar and pulling him in close, their faces inches apart.

This was Ethan's moment, his chance to make a move. With lightning speed, he slipped his proposal into the man's pocket, hoping to switch it with Camilla's father's proposal before he could react. But before he could even reach for the bag, a brutal blow sent him crashing to the ground, agony shooting through his body as pain exploded in his head.

"Ahhh!" Ethan cried out, his world spinning as he struggled to regain his bearings.

"I asked, who sent you?" The man's voice thundered, his fury palpable as he loomed over Ethan with menacing intent.

"No one!" Ethan gasped, his breath coming in ragged bursts as he fought to stand, every movement sending waves of pain radiating through his body.

"I see you won't speak!" Mr. Harry sneered, turning his back on Ethan with dismissive disdain.

"Kill him!" His command echoed through the air, chilling Ethan to the bone as he realised the gravity of his situation. It was over. His chance for revenge slipped through his fingers, leaving him helpless.

Ethan realised he had made a grave mistake. The RRS system's warning echoed in his mind, reminding him that failure meant death, and he was rapidly running out of time to complete his mission.

"I couldn't even make it in my second life... I'm sorry, Mom," Ethan whispered to himself, his heart pounding with fear and regret.

Trapped and surrounded by burly men, escape was impossible. He closed his eyes, preparing himself for his death again.

As the guard lifted his gun and aimed it at Ethan, the threatening sound of the weapon being readied reverberated through the darkness.

With bated breath, Ethan waited for the final moment to arrive, his heart racing faster with each passing second. And just then, it happened…
