Peter turned to find Billy behind him."Is that really you Peter?" Billy gaped with his jaw dropped.His last image of Peter had been a skinny looking guy always wearing some sort of uniform always working hard to take care of his sister and meet his girlfriend's demands."Billy, long time no see." Peter and Billy shook hands. Harry saw Peter interacting with the simple looking guy who had just arrived.He thought to himself,'I better start showing the boss my use as his subordinate now, after all the salary he promised me is more than enough for my epic services.'Having those thoughts, Harry came forward."Hey, hey, stay two steps away from my boss. He's a classy and elegant man, not everyone can have the honor to breathe in the same air as he does." Peter cast Harry a side glance, "You aren't hired yet, don't overdo it."Harry immediately chuckled awkwardly, "I was just showing you my skills before I start the job, after all you wouldn't want to hire a useless waste." Hearing
"Come in, come in I insist." Baron dragged Peter and Billy into his private room laughingly. "Guys, guys look who I bumped into right outside." Baron called the attention of all the others with him inside the private room.Peter began to see familiar faces among them. Most of them were people he'd gone to high school with. Peter realized that they were probably holding some sort of reunion meal. "Isn't that silly Billy?" Someone said making the others laugh."And that's broke Pete, always finding dirty gigs for money." "Oh yeah I remember these guys! How did you get to invite these guys Baron?" Someone asked.Peter recognized the person who'd asked this question to be Jonah Dawson, Baron's good friend from high school."Shit, I didn't want to run into these guys. They're still as mean as they used to be hiding under smiling faces." Billy whispered to Peter."Do they always hold the high school reunion meal here in Lakeview?""They are all from Landville, but they like to show off
Jonah scoffed incredulously. "What did you just say? Ten thousand? Hahahaha!"Throwing his head back, he laughed heartily. Everyone else had been stunned as well, Jonah's laughter awakened them all and they followed suit realizing how hilarious those words had sounded."Most people say men can dream of the impossible, but why dream with your eyes wide open. Do you even realize what you just said, ten thousand dollars? Can you even afford that after selling your whole life's possession?" "What do you mean just his possession, even if he was taken to the black market, he won't even be sold for a thousand dollars not to mention ten."All the people present made the issue a big joke. Baron leaned on the table looking straight into Peter's eyes, "Tsk, Pete if you want to show off around your classmates at least make up a believable lie. You see none of us even know what kind of life you're living anymore, if you made up a lie, at least you would appear cool, but you've gone too far with
The private room was silent for a few seconds before someone spoke up."What was that I heard? Jonah has really received....ten...ten thousand dollars?" The girl who spoke sent an incredulous gaze towards Peter with a slacked jaw.It wasn't just a few hundred dollars, but actually ten thousand dollars, and Peter had given it so casually.They had looked down on Peter and had even laughed mockingly at him, now bringing out such a large amount that they haven't even seen before, wasn't that sending a resounding slap to their face?Baron who was anticipating humiliating Peter and impressing his former classmates was enraged."Where did you get that money? Don't tell me you got tired of selling scraps so you decided to go stealing instead." It had come as an incredible shock to him that he couldn't come to terms with the fact that Peter was even better off now after how brutally he used to make fun of him in high school."What do you mean by that Baron? Pete clearly met the requirements
Sasha who had been clinging to Baron felt embarrassed seeing him fall into a weak state.Was this kind of man even worthy of her?Glancing up at Peter who had a composed air around him, she felt admiration for him soar into her.He must have a heavy bank.And now that she looked at him properly, she realized he was actually really good looking. And the calm air around him made him look nonchalantly domineering. This was the kind of man worthy of being with her. Looking at Baron on the floor all she felt was embarrassment, she had even wasted her time trying to curry favor to him. Standing up from her seat she began to go towards the chair next to Peter.Everyone looked at her and couldn't help but find themselves envying Peter.All the guys hadn't dared to approach Sasha because she had been with Baron.A few of them had even rejoiced that Baron was at least out of the way and they could get to ask for Sasha's number before leaving, however seeing Sasha aiming for Peter, they all
"Isn't that a BMW?""Not just any BMW, that's the newest M3. Do you even know how much it costs?" They were all still watching in awe forgetting they had come out to apologize when the car drove off. "Che! All of you were calling him a scrap seller. Whether he sells scraps or trash, none of you can still afford to buy such a car." Someone suddenly said angrily, "I should have just taken his side when you all were picking him, at least I'd have a big shot for a friend."All they could feel was regret, if they had known they would have been friendlier to Peter, at least then he would have been on friendly terms with them, but they had sided with those bullies Jonah and Baron.They watched the car drive off into the road everyone thinking about how they could have done things differently."That was so cool Pete, I never thought a day would come where I would see that big bully Baron reduced down to his knees."Peter smiled, "Bullies deserve to be given a taste of their own medicine. Yo
The temperature in the cramped room seemed to drop. Peter's eyes chilled as he glared at the men rushing towards him.Peter could feel the powerful aura coming from the men around him.He could tell they wouldn't be easy opponents.All the three men had a large build coupled with an innate heavy aura that made them evoke fear from anyone around them.Peter however remained standing with his hands behind his back as the men attacked him.He quickly blocked off a punch from one of the men then threw a kick to another but he dodged it.They fought calculatively, Peter realized. He hadn't needed to make much of an effort when fighting Zane at the university's fighting grounds, he hadn't exerted effort at all with Harry's men, but these three seemed like they would be quite difficult to fend off.However, all he could feel was a rush of excitement flowing through him. It would be great to finally fight with worthy opponents.Pulling up his sleeves, Peter took a fighting stance.The air i
"Does it matter who I am?" Peter looked unhurt, the kick he had received just a while ago that had sent him crashing against the door should have made his insides coil and render him unable to even stand.However he wasn't just standing but had also been able to fight and beat Tigerclaw.The man gaped at Peter with astonishment.'This can't be, only one person can have that ability.'"Please, tell me who you are!" The arrogance had disappeared from Tigerclaw's face as he asked with a tinge of desperation in his voice.Peter frowned suspiciously.Why was this man looking at him like that? Could it be he had showed a little too much of his power and revealed his system?Peter knew that the system he possessed was ultimate power.Not just did it give him wealth beyond compare but it gave him a kind of power that other people didn't possess, if the system's existence got revealed to the world lot of people would come for him.Power was great but also very dangerous, he had to protect the
