The next morning, Liam arrived in a tiny Italian restaurant located deep inside an alleyway, some distance away from the main street.
If it wasn't for the wooden sign depicting a chef with a cheesy mustache, he would have never noticed that a restaurant was opened in such a desolate place.
Entering the door with a nervous expression, Liam proceeded on with careful steps.
He was here to propose a business proposition to the owner of this establishment and he could not afford to fail. The system was his only hope.
There were only eight more days until the end of July to complete the mission given by the system.
And after some calculation from him, he had figured that there was no way he could achieve the target profit by continuing as a food delivery driver with the limited time he had.
Furthermore, with his entire body still hurting from the beatings he suffered, it was impossible for him to carry out physical labor. Several cuts and bruises on his face were still visible on his face.
“Welcome to Olive Park! How may I help you, sir?” The moment Liam stepped foot into the restaurant, he was immediately greeted by a young waitress.
The waitress appeared to be around the age of early twenties, and looked absolutely gorgeous. Unique to only her, her peach blossom eyes were strikingly charming, but the most attractive feature of hers was her contagious smile.
With a single glance at her smile, Liam could feel that the world had become much brighter and his injuries seemed to be healing by itself.
“Right. May I speak with the owner of the restaurant? I’m here to discuss business with him. I want to invest in this restaurant.” Liam smiled with his teeth revealed, presenting himself as professionally as he could.
“You?” The young waitress hesitated as she looked at Liam from top to bottom, sizing him up.
Rather than an investor, Liam was looking more like a student with how young he looked and the cheap clothes he was wearing wasn’t helping him much.
“I’m so sorry. The owner is not in…” After taking some time to contemplate, the young waitress made up her mind. The possibility that Liam was a scammer was far greater than him being a legitimate investor, especially when his face was looking so swollen.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Liam’s words shocked her.
“I’m going to invest half a million dollars.” Liam said.
“H-Half a million dollars!” The young waitress visibly gulped as the menu in her hand dropped on the floor. “Dad! Come here immediately!”
***
“Is it true that you want to invest in my restaurant?”
Seated across Liam was the owner and the chef of the restaurant, Giorgio. After Liam was led to a table by Penelope, he came out to greet Liam from the kitchen.
Normally, a chef would be busy in the kitchen preparing food for the customers, especially the case with Olive Park where the place was solely run by the father and his daughter.
However, with how empty the restaurant was, he could afford the time.
“Yes, that is true. I intend to invest a total of half a million dollars into your restaurant for 70% shares of your restaurant.” Liam explained his business proposal.
“There’s no way I will do this deal! 10% shares or the deal is off. I’ve spent more than a million myself to open and run this restaurant. Giorgio argued in an agitated tone.
“And yet, your business seems to be failing pretty hard.” Liam shrugged and looked around the empty restaurant. “Furthermore, with how run-down this place looks, and the lack of staff, I think you are already knee-deep in debt to maintain your usual operation.”
“You! You are absolutely right…” Upon hearing Liam’s words, Giorgio slouched into his chair, looking defeated.
The truth was the restaurant would not survive another month with the way things were going.
“My wife and I opened this restaurant twenty years ago. She was expecting Penelope at that time. Our intention was to provide a safe harbor for Penelope. Things were going great until my wife had passed. Since then, the restaurant has been going downhill. I tried borrowing to keep the place afloat, but it’s not enough.”
“Tell me. After listening to what I’ve told you, are you still willing to invest in this sinking ship?” Giorgio asked as he stared into Liam’s eyes with slight tears. The outcome of his decision will depend on what Liam says next.
“Your Italian food tastes authentic and otherworldly. The reason why your business is failing is because of the lack of promotion and the location of your restaurant. I believe I can help you with that. But, most importantly, eating your food gives me a warm fuzzy feeling of home which I had never experienced before. Rather than investing in your restaurant, I’m investing in you.” Liam answered with sincere eyes.
"... Alright. I trust you. Let's sign the contract now." After a long pause, Giorgio relented. More than anyone, he wanted to save the restaurant. Besides, the answer Liam had given was perfect.
"The contract can wait." Liam smiled awkwardly. As an inexperienced newbie in the business world, he had totally forgotten about drafting a contract.
"That can wait, but tell me. What's your actual plan for the restaurant?" Giorgio asked.
"We are going to sell a two-course meal with drinks at a special discount of one dollar." Liam answered with a confident smile on his face.
However, his answer was instantly met with objections from Giorgio and the eavesdropping Penelope.
“What! Are you mad?”
“What nonsense are you spewing? I knew you were a scammer the moment I laid my eyes on you!”

“Hey! Where are you looking? My eyes are up here!” Penelope pouted her lips.Inside a department store, Penelope was standing outside the fitting room dressed in a white t-shirt fitted with a black tie while her lower half was covered with a black apron. Instead of covering her body lines, the typical waitress attire she was wearing further accentuates the splendid curves of her body so much so that Liam was caught staring at her."I’m looking at you.” Liam answered honestly, blinking his eyes without any ulterior motive. He truly thought that Penelope looked amazing.“What are you saying?” Penelope’s face became flushed red when she heard Liam’s honest reply. To be honest, Liam was decent looking and looked to be around the same age as her. It would be lying to say that she did not have a tinge of interest about him.Trying to avoid embarrassment, Penelope quickly changed the topic. “I have never met someone as crazy as you.

“I’ve come as you’ve requested. What do you want from me? Shoot it!” As Liam walked into the Henson’s family manor, he asked in a cold tone.Along with his brother-in-law and mother-in-law, Grace was present as well. With Grace’s mother sitting in a dining chair, Allen and Grace were standing beside her.“Do you see the divorce papers at the table? Sign it!” Grace pointed to the table and demanded. “Andrew Mason from the prestigious Mason family will be marrying my daughter this upcoming month. You are going to sign the papers right now and stop clinging to my daughter like a bum! Or else, hmph!

It was a wooden horse made of modern dark wood. The horse was roughly the size of a human’s palm.What’s peculiar about the horse though was the poor workmanship of the horse and how ugly it was. When placed together with the rest of the attractive counterfeit antiques that the vendor was trying to sell, it stood out like a sore thumb.“Hey, shop owner, what’s the story with this wooden horse?” Liam asked the shop owner while showing him the ugly horse carving.”“You mean this horse?” The shop owner squinted his eyes and observed Liam for a while before replying. “That’s a family heirloom passed down by my great grandfather. It was a palace toy that was played by the famous emperor Kang at around 500 B.C ! If you like it, I will sell this beloved antique of mine for thirty thousand dollars. No more and no less!”“Come on now. You know it’s a bullshit story.” Liam laughed. It was obvious the vendors in Monro street were trying to jack up prices to fool the customers.Nonetheless, it w

As Liam turned around, a sweet aroma fragrance filled his nostrils and he was awestruck by the owner of the sweet voice.The owner of the voice looked to be in her mid twenties. Sporting long hazel brown hair with a simplistic braid woven together with interlaced strands of her hair tucked behind her left ear, she looked incredibly bewitching.However, what made her stand out was her transcendental beauty. Her small face was as if it was personally shaped and carved out by a goddess with meticulous care throughout the whole carving process.Her thin, long, and slightly curved eyebrows, and her sharp and small nose were like works of art, whereas her small cherry mouth was like the work of a devil, tempting men to taste it at the cost of sacrificing everything.In addition, her large hazel eyes with its long eyelashes looked extremely seductive and mesmerizing. It was as if they could suck out the soul of anyone that got lost in her eyes.Wearing a Louis Vuitton black slim dress with

Ashley was taken aback when Liam identified her. She had never thought that a poor-looking guy like Liam would know who she was.Furthermore, judging from how confident he was about the value of the horse carving, it seemed like he had found out the secret hidden inside.In an instant, Liam became extremely mysterious to her.“What is your name?” Ashley asked.“Liam Walker.” Liam replied.“You are the mastermind behind Olive Park’s genius marketing?” Ashley asked urgently, her eyes shone brightly when she heard who Liam was.“That’s right.” Liam gave the confirmation. Although he was surprised that Ashley knew that he was the one behind the marketing stunt when he pushed Giorgio to the front.“Did you receive the fifty thousand tip that I gave to the restaurant?” Ashley asked.“You are the customer that tipped fifty thousand dollars? Why did you do that?” Liam was surprised. He still remembered that it was because of her tip that allowed him to successfully complete the system’s missi

“What is the meaning of this?” Liam stepped close to Ashley and whispered into her ear. He had no intention of joining into the Flander family’s mess.“Do me a favor. Help me this one time.”Ashley pleaded as she turned around and hugged Liam. Her action gave Liam a great shock. In addition, before Liam could react, she kissed Liam on his cheek, denying him a chance to refuse her.“Grandmother, let me introduce Liam to you!”Following Ashley’s introduction, Liam could only grit his teeth and stepped forward. Ashley was his only ticket to the gateway of the antique world, and he definitely wouldn’t want to lose it.And to be fair, who could reject a request from such a pretty woman?‘Ah! Heck it! What’s the worst that could happen?’ He thought to himself.And like he had expected, the entire ballroom turned completely silent when they took a clearer look at him. Everyone in the ballroom had dropped what they were doing and could only stare at him. This included Ashley’s grandmother.

"Dump it?" Damian Flander unconsciously repeated Liam's words without giving them much thought. He was bewildered and confused by Liam's choice of words. Wasn't Liam supposed to be begging for mercy instead? It took him a while to grasp the meaning behind Liam's words, and when he finally did, his eyes widened in shock. At this point, there can only be one thing that Liam could be referring to that could be dumped! And that was Flanders’ Group stocks! “What do you mean by that?” Damian Flander shouted at Liam, pointing his index finger at him firmly, demanding an explanation.

Complete silence descended upon the press conference as everyone remained in a state of blank anticipation following Liam's powerful declaration. The audience, including the bodyguards, held their breath as they closely watched the battle between Liam and Damian Flander. Even Damian Flander himself watched Liam with fear and anxiety as he anticipated a violent retaliation from Liam after finding out that Liam was part of the notorious Walker family. A full minute elapsed swiftly with nothing unfolding. With all the focus of everyone on him, Liam continued to maintain his calm demeanor, standing alongside Ahsley, shielding her from potential harm. Soon, five minutes had passed by and the crowd began to gradually become restless with nothing noteworthy happening. People were bewildered. Didn’t Liam declare that he would punish Damian Flander? A significant number of them started to doubt Liam, suspecting whether he was truly a member of the Walker family or if it was a false claim

“Stop! Raise your hands and display them! Any sudden movement and we will be forced to incapacitate the both of you!” Motivated by the substantial rewards pledged by Damian Flander, the head of the guards issued this command as all the nearby guards overcame their fear of Liam and drew their guns from their holsters.Normally, discharging firearms in a densely populated area with innocent bystanders is strongly discouraged. However, the prospect of a substantial reward had caused those guidelines to be disregarded entirely.With the barrels of their guns aimed at Liam, multiple guards started to step forward to apprehend Liam and Ashley. If Liam was to make any sudden movement, the guards would not hesitate to open fire immediately.Even though Liam had demonstrated superhuman strength and prowess in close combat, all the guards were convinced that he would be no match for their firearms.Furthermore, with Liam encircled by guns aimed at him from all directions, the likelihood of his

“Ah!” Ashley screamed out when one of the guards that surrounded her started charging towards her at full speed.She tried to flee from her spot but before she could even move her feet, she realised that the assailant had already seized her arm.“Let go of me!” With her arm in his grip, she made a desperate attempt to break free with all her strength. However, her act of resistance only seemed to infuriate Damian's Flander guard instead of helping her escape.Raising his hand with rage, the guard’s fist came crashing down towards Ashley’s face to teach her a lesson.Even though Ashley could anticipate the assailant's fist heading her way, she found herself powerless to defend against it.

“Stop it! Stop laughing, you imbeciles! This is not funny at all.” In the press conference, Damian Flander bemoaned his frustration and discontent while jumping up and down in a fit of anger.His face bore an unsightly appearance, marked by bloodshot eyes and a furious expression. Clenching his teeth and fists in anger, his face was heavily distorted with rage.With a hint of madness in his eyes, his current expression was a far cry from his enthusiastic self at the beginning of the press conference. His reputation that he painstakingly built up was ruined.How? Just what kind of sorcery did Ashley cast? Everything in the press conference had gone awry after her appearance!

Following the collective gasp of disbelief from the entire nation in response to the astounding scene before them, an uncomfortable silence descended upon the press conference.Nearly every man, including the online users, who witnessed the astonishing scene instinctively touched their groin area to confirm the integrity of their own genitals as they gulped in unison.A few of them even went to the extent of visually confirming that everything remained unchanged despite being in a public setting.Looking at the unexpected response of the crowd, Damian Flander shifted his gaze to look at William Flander. When he saw that William Flander was no longer a true man, his face turned incredibly ugly. He could not believe his eyes.“This…This… How is this possible!!” Damian Flander exclaimed, pointing at William Flander's groin area.He wanted to demand an answer from Willaim Flander immediately on what had happened, but an emotionless monotone voice echoed in the vicinity, interrupting him.
