My Face Slapping System in The Tycoon World

Chapter Six

Peter stepped down from the cab and hurried towards the entrance of the tall Grandview bank building, however he was immediately stopped by the guards.

"Go through the second entrance, this entrance is for VIP guests only." The guard yelled with a stoic expression.

Peter glanced at the second entrance, it had a long line of people waiting to walk into the bank.

"The person I'm here to meet told me to come in through this entrance." Peter explained but the guard frowned sizing Peter up. Taking in his disheveled appearance, the guard sneered.

"Just look at yourself, do you even think you're capable of going through this entrance, you're obviously cooking up a story just to make me let you in."

"I'm really not cooking up a story, Miss Cynthia told me to go in through here..."

"Hmph, just because you know the name of the branch manager doesn't mean I'l let you in. Let me tell you, I've seen many bums like you before, most of you are just here to try your hands at something to steal, guys like you will stalk VIP customers to the bank and follow them home just to rob them. Get out of here!"

At this moment, a young man wearing the latest Armani suit holding a beautiful woman by the waist came heading through the VIP entrance. The guard who was aggressively talking to Peter sighted the man and his expression immediately humbled.

"Welcome Mr Winters."

Hearing the name Winters, Peter immediately turned to look at the man, but it wasn't the person he was expecting. Joey Winters family were the most influential in the whole country. No one had been able to match up to them, looking at this young man's appearance and the arrogant look in his eyes, Peter could already tell he was related to the renowned Winters family somehow.

"What's going on here, why's a beggar standing at the VIP entrance?" The man eyed Peter with contempt, he looked irritated about the fact that someone like Peter was actually standing in the same space as him.

The guard quickly bowed, "I apologize Mr Winters, I was just sending him away." He turned to Peter with a furious look, "Didn't you hear me tell you to scram? I'll put a dent on your face with my fist if you don't get out of here."

Daniel Winters was from the second branch of the Winters family, though they were quite influential, they mainly fed on scraps given to them from the huge projects of the Winters family corporation. However, just their relationship made the second branch quite famous on their own.

Daniel was someone who always thought he could get what he wanted, no one could disobey him in the whole country, especially whenever he mentioned the fact that he and Joey Winters were second cousins. Though the public respected him due to his name and connections to the Winters, in reality, he'd always been nothing but Joey's errand boy.

Joey would randomly call him to take his car to the repair shop, or to make him do other random errands. Daniel knew Joey had other employees, yet Joey enjoyed displaying superiority over him as the son of the family's main branch. Regardless of the reality Daniel suffered within the family, he would always appear haughty in public to save face so no one would know his real status in the family.

Daniel snapped his fingers, "Hey you, scram! This place is for important people, beggars like you shouldn't be standing in the same place as we do."

The woman in Daniel's arms wrinkled her nose looking at Peter with distaste, she leaned into him saying in a whiney voice, "Honey, he looks so haggard, he stinks."

The woman with Daniel was Elena Johnson, the daughter of a wealthy stock investor in Landville. Daniel had deliberately pursued her for one reason, to eat out of her father's influence.

Despite the fact that they had their own wealth due to the main Winters family branch, Daniel was always ridiculed by the family for being lazy and incompetent due to the fact that he had never contributed anything to the company. He pursued Elena with a plan in mind, and today he brought her with him to execute the plan of buying the biggest shares out of the latest business stocks set by Winters corporation which would be auctioned to the highest bidders by Grandview bank. Having Elena Johnson with him, along with his identity as someone from the second branch of the Winters family, no one would dare want to bid against him.

If he could purchase the stocks and go back home, his father Gerald Winters who was always disappointed in him would have no choice but to be very proud. This was a very huge project that the Winters corporation refused to give to the second family branch unless they won the purchase at the auction, so for Daniel, this was a very big deal.

"Don't worry dear, I'll have him sent away right now. He's affecting my mood, I came here happily to buy the Vangham stocks on auction, but the sight of this dirty looking guy is infuriating. Get him out of here immediately."

Peter frowned deeply, but just at that moment, he heard a ding sound from the system.

*Face-slapping quest triggered!*

*Quest: Buy out Daniel Winters as host's personal assistant.*

*Timeframe for quest completion: 1 day.*

*Quest rewards: $200,000,000.*

Upon receiving the quest, a faint smirk lifted Peter's lips.

The guard rolled up his sleeves after hearing Daniel's order, "Yes Mr Winters." Just when he was about to grab Peter's collar, a woman walked to the VIP entrance looking down at her phone with a frown on her face.

"John, has an important looking man arrived here? He just texted me that he's got here." Cynthia Lane, a beautiful young woman in her mid twenties asked the guard.

"Yes ma'am, an important guest just arrived here." The guard affirmed refraining from the violence he was about to display towards Peter.

Daniel fixed his tie feeling extremely flattered.

Wow, even the renowned Cynthia Lane, the manager of the Grandview bank personally came out to welcome him? His status must have increased so much with Elena's help, let's see how the family can continue to ridicule him now. He cleared his throat and said,

"I really didn't expect Miss Lane to personally come out to welcome me. It's an honor to finally meet you."

Cynthia stared once at Daniel then looked away, her gaze going back out to the road. It was as if Daniel was a little ant not worth her attention.

Everyone noticed this, Daniel immediately felt a resounding slap to his face at how he was just ignored.

Her eyes fell on Peter who seemed to have just sent a text on his phone, just when she looked away from him seeing his unkept attire, her phone buzzed and she looked down at an incoming text from the VIP guest she was waiting for.

"I'm right in front of you." looking up from the text again, she scanned the disheveled looking youth with a slacked jaw not daring to believe it, "Mr Crox?"

Daniel sneered not believing Cynthia was actually addressing Peter.

"Mr Crox is that really you?"

"Yes Miss Lane, we spoke on the phone just now."

Her expression immediately changed, "Please come in Mr Crox, why are you standing outside the bank like that?"

"Huh? You must be mistaken Miss Lane, this guy is just a beggar standing here to try to gain some profit from the rich customers."

"You invited me as a special customer Miss Lane, but it's disappointing how I ended up being insulted by your guard and a random customer." Peter remarked.

"Hmph! Who are you calling random?" Daniel snapped.

"I apologize Mr Crox, I should have come to personally receive you earlier." She turned to the guard in fury but before she could speak he immediately landed on his knees with a thud in front of Peter. Anyone who could make Miss Lane come out herself was certainly not an ordinary person, he had offended the wrong guy. Sometimes back he'd heard about how wealthy people disguised themselves as ordinary by wearing cheap clothes just so they wouldn't be recognized, he never thought the youth he just regarded as a beggar could be a very wealthy VIP of the bank.

"Please forgive my impudence sir, I didn't recognize that you were a very important customer."

"You think you'll be let off by asking for forgiveness? Your actions could have made us lose one of the biggest customers the Grandview bank has ever seen in a decade "

The words made Daniel look stumped. Even Elena glanced at Peter in a different light.

Biggest customer in a decade?

Grandview bank was the best in the whole country, all the most influential people operated here, including Elena's father whose net worth was estimated to be over ten million dollars monthly. If this guy was the biggest customer, it meant that he was far wealthier than Elena's father. This was just too unbelievable.

"Forget it, he was just doing his job." Peter remarked, even though he was annoyed by the guard, he understood the man's perspective.

"But this is intolerable Mr Crox, he ought to be fired for what he did."

"It's alright, I don't want him to lose his job for this."

Cynthia glared at the shivering guard before smiling respectfully at Peter. "You are very kind Mr Crox." Her smile faded as she turned to Daniel, "And as for Mr Winters..."

Peter didn't let Cynthia finish, he already had plans for this Daniel Winters standing beside him, he said. "I'd like to purchase the Vangham stocks for the highest bidding price!"
