The First Mission

Right in front of Logan's eyes, a transparent display board materialized out of thin air, its surface covered with lines of text interspersed with flickering, static-filled graphics that seemed to buzz with a life of their own.

“What the heck is this?” Logan exclaimed, waving his hand in front of him as if trying to shoo away a swarm of bees. 

To his surprise, the panel board went right through his hand effortlessly, as if it were nothing more than a hologram made of light.

DING!

[Master, you don't need to worry. You've obtained a system from the mask you're currently wearing. Destiny has chosen you, the less fortunate man, to become unbeatable!]

"A system? Could this be like the web novels I've read before?" Logan wondered aloud, his eyes widening in amazement. "In that case, system, please tell me my main objective!" he commanded, half-expecting a response just like in the stories.

[Main objective: Anonymous assistance to the less fortunate with this mask then gain system points to gain new abilities!]

[As your main assets, you receive 10 billion dollars, Surgical Skills level 1, Medical Knowledge level 2, Heavenly Alchemist Hands level 2, and Divine Reiki Hands level 1!]

An electric current suddenly surged into Logan's brain, shocking him into a daze for a few seconds. When he came back to consciousness, he found himself filled with new knowledge that hadn't been there before.

"Ouch, this is so dizzy!" Logan groaned, holding his head, which suddenly felt much heavier than usual.

DING!

[You won't be dizzy anymore once you see your bank account balance!]

Curious, Logan immediately pulled out his phone and checked his bank account balance, eager to see if anything had changed.

“Goddamnit!”

No mistake, his bank account balance showed a staggering 10 billion dollars!

Logan was on the verge of passing out at the sight of so much money in his account. He couldn't believe it; he never imagined he'd have this much money, not even in his wildest dreams.

"System, you're not going to take this money back, are you?" Logan voiced his lingering doubts.

[Of course not, Master. In fact, the 10 billion dollars is just an advance we're giving you as encouragement. If you perform satisfactorily in the future, more money will be sent to your account!]

Unbelievable! Logan's entire body trembled with excitement, but a triumphant smile couldn't be contained on his face.

"So, I've become a billionaire, huh?" Logan murmured to himself, a mix of disbelief and satisfaction evident in his tone. "Finally, luck is on my side," he whispered, feeling a sense of gratitude wash over him.

As Logan muttered those words, suddenly a notification from the system appeared before him.

DING!

[The first task has been found!]

[A young woman, her beauty marred by the poison coursing through her veins, teeters on the brink of death at the hands of her own sibling. Yet, she is undeserving of such a fate. You must intervene, granting her justice by saving her life, all while remaining anonymous in your heroic act!]

With newfound determination coursing through him, Logan stood up confidently and demanded, "Show me the room number of that young woman!" 

[The patient is in the ICU room. Go to the second floor and you will find her soon!]

[Deadline: 15 minutes before death!]

With a sense of urgency gripping him, Logan acknowledged the pressing need for immediate action.

"I can't delay any longer," Logan declared, his sense of urgency propelling him forward. With firm resolve, he immediately dashed towards the second floor, each step echoing his determination to save the young woman before it was too late.

It didn't take long for Logan to locate the room. Just as he was about to step inside, his path was obstructed by a nurse who happened to be standing near the door.

"Hey, hold on there!" the nurse ordered, her tone stern and authoritative. "You seem to be a janitor. What's your business in this ICU room?" she questioned, eyeing Logan suspiciously.

Thinking quickly, Logan fabricated an alibi and replied, "I've been assigned to clean the medical equipment for the patients in this room."

The nurse furrowed her brows, her voice tinged with a hint of déjà vu. "Why does your voice sound so familiar?" she pondered aloud. "Regardless, would you mind lifting that mask? I yearn to discern your features more distinctly."

Logan could never do that as the system's mission demanded him to carry out tasks with this black mask to keep his identity anonymous.

Logan's tone remained steady as he countered, "I'm afraid I can't comply with that request. You see, I'm afflicted with a contagious skin condition, and this mask serves as a shield to prevent transmission to those in my vicinity. Unless you and our patient here have an inclination towards sharing my malady, I'd advise against removing it."

"Let's leave the mask be," the nurse conceded swiftly, abandoning any notion of unveiling Logan's identity, apprehensive of the potential transmission of any affliction the man might carry.

"Am I permitted entry then?" Logan inquired once more, his tone patient yet insistent.

"Enter, but don't linger. The patient inside is the first daughter of the renowned Whitman family in this city. If you make even a small mistake, your life might be over!" The male nurse had clear intentions, to scare Logan.

However, Logan seemed unaffected by the threat at all, so he immediately entered the room after the door was opened.

"Good morning," greeted Logan, startling everyone in the room.

There was a man who looked to be in his 50s, accompanied by a middle-aged woman who was only a few years younger than him.

Meanwhile, on the bed, there lay a girl with heavenly beauty, surrounded by all sorts of life-supporting equipment attached to her body.

The girl managed to stun Logan right where he stood. How could she not? With her skin as clean and smooth as porcelain, hair soft and shimmering like ocean waves, thin eyebrows gracefully arched like a bow, tiny rosy lips inviting anyone to kiss them, the girl still looked incredibly beautiful even in critical condition on the hospital bed.

"Who are you?" the girl's father asked coldly and skeptically. "I thought this room should be completely sterile, as the doctor said earlier."

Logan didn't lose his smile as he replied, "Sir, I'm here to clean the entire room, to keep it as sterile as you said. But I see your daughter seems to be dying..."

The old man looked offended by Logan's words, but he could only sigh deeply because what the young man said was indeed the truth.

"Sir, your daughter's condition is more critical than you realize. Her life is on the line. If you trust me, I may be able to save her."The old man's face twisted with disbelief. "Every top doctor has given their all, and yet they've come up short," he shot back. "You're just a janitor. How can you possibly save my daughter?"Logan shrugged nonchalantly.

You must arrest him and toss him in jail!"Two officers fixed Logan with stern gazes before questioning, "Is her accusation accurate?""Yes," Logan responded without hesitation. "However, there's a reason behind my actions.""We don't need any reasons," one officer interjected with disdain. "Assault within a hospital warrants arrest, regardless of justification."Logan regarded them with an icy stare and responded stoically, "What would you do if you discovered your spouse cheating with a colleague?

He felt a profound, unprecedented fear wash over him.Logan continued, "Obey me carefully, you old far. If you don't cooperate, you will die. Dismiss all of Ariana's demands against me. Do not impose any penalties that would harm me. Instead, you must ensure Ariana compensates for all of this.""But…" Harrison began to protest."Shut your mouth," Logan hissed like a snake. "Don't you realize your life and death are in my hands, old man?!"Judge Harrison immediately fell silent. Logan felt he had made himself perfectly clear. With a final pat on the judge's shoulder, he stood up and turned to face the room, surveying the gathered crowd.DING![Wow, you really know the fastest way to become popular, don't you?]Logan scratched his head, ignoring the system widget blinking in front of him.[Even though popularity gives a plea

    "Logan's trap?" Natalie raised an eyebrow. "I can't believe you're talking nonsense in such a critical situation, Bruno. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'll file a negative report about you!""Listen to me until I damn finish!" Bruno raised his voice. "What's gotten into you, Natalie? How can you believe that a cup of warm ginger can cure a serious internal condition like variceal hematemesis? The ginger might actually harm our patient. What if Logan is trying to kill Judge Harrison to avoid criminal charges? Haven't you thought of that?"Natalie fell silent, the truth in Bruno's words dawning on her. If Judge Harrison died, the next judge might impose a lighter sentence on Logan, or even acquit him. It made perfect sense that Logan had a motive to kill the judge.Natalie lifted her head and eyed Logan suspiciously. She hesitated before asking, "Is what Bruno said about you true?"Logan gave a cryptic smile, shrugged casually, and said, "Believe Bruno or believe me,

"Miss Moore, does Logan really have medical skills?"Shania shot Troye a sharp glance but said nothing.Troye cleared his throat, feeling uncomfortable. "I know you're angry at me for giving up so easily. I just want to make sure..."Shania sighed deeply, then spoke softly, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you. You need to see it for yourself."Troye nodded slowly, refocusing on Logan, who stood close to Bruno and Natalie. Logan's eyes burned with a blend of anger and resentment aimed at Bruno. Bruno twitched nervously, attempting to conceal his unease.Logan ignored Bruno completely and turned to Natalie, who regarded him with curious eyes."Logan Maxwell," she mur

Just observe how seasoned doctors like Natalie and Bruno appear to wrestle with despair.""I see.

His smile persisted, radiating unshakable confidence.The officer in front of Logan chuckled softly and asked, "I don't quite follow your reasoning.

    Lying on the floor, his body convulsing, blood continued to spurt from the judge's mouth.The room fell silent for a moment before the officers sprang into action. Logan watched as the courtroom guards quickly surrounded Harrison, who was convulsing on the floor. Meanwhile, the people in the audience stood up from their seats, straining to get a better view."Damn, Judge Harrison's hematemesis is acting up!" one of the officers shouted in panic. "Quick, call an ambulance!" He then turned to the entire courtroom, shouting loudly, "Is there a doctor here?"Bruno immediately raised his hand confidently, thinking he would be the sole hero for Judge Harrison. However, someone else also raised their hand from the back row.

    After a few minutes, a voice over the intercom announced that the trial was about to start. Logan, Shania, and Troye exchanged a few final words, finished their snacks, and stood up, ready to face what was coming."Huff, just a few more hours and this will all be over," Shania said with a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, Logan. They can't charge you that easily."Shania smiled confidently, certain they would soon win the trial with Troye's help. But just as she was feeling optimistic, Troye spoke up in a hesitant tone, "Actually, Miss Moore, I can't guarantee Mr. Kane will win this trial. Please don't be overconfident."Shania frowned and asked in bewilderment, "I thought you could expose the judge's corruption with your speaking skills. Are you saying you can't—""You're mistaken," Troye interrupted, his tone tinged with offense as he sensed the accusation in Shania's words. "I can expose the judge's crimes to everyone, but he's still the one running this trial. Even if his corruption i

    When all eyes fixed on Judge Harrison, the old man stayed silent, sweat beading on his forehead. Anyone, even a 4-year-old, could tell he was nervous. "This is highly unusual," someone half-whispered. "Judge Harrison is always professional in his work. In every trial he leads, his demeanor is consistent: cold, indifferent, and calm. But now..." Another person immediately agreed, stating that there was something different about Judge Harrison today. "Yet, this is just a divorce hearing," another interjected. "He shouldn't be making such complicated decisions since both parties want the separation. Why does he look like he's presiding over a criminal trial?" Aware that negative comments were mounting against him, Judge Harrison knew his silence would only lead to disaster. He decisively rapped his gavel, startling everyone. "The trial will reconvene after lunch," he stated curtly. "What?!" The room instantly buzzed with murmurs as people exchanged bewildered glances at Judge Harri

    As the attendees in the courtroom began to settle down, the door at the back opened, and a dignified man in a black robe entered the room. It was Judge Harrison, an elderly man with thinning white hair, yet exuding an aura of undeniable authority. Everyone in the room immediately stood up as a sign of respect."Please be seated," Judge Harrison commanded with a deep, authoritative voice, after taking his place at the judge's bench. He rapped his gavel once, signaling the start of the trial.The attendees settled back into their seats, the atmosphere growing intensely serious. Judge Harrison surveyed the entire room with keen eyes before continuing."The divorce trial between Ariana and Logan is officially commencing," he announced, his voice resonating throughout the room. "Counsel for the plaintiff, please present your demands."Ariana's lawyer, a middle-aged man with a slick demeanor, stood up and moved to the front. His name was Ronald Baxter, notorious for his aggressive tactics.

    Without a pause, Emily's hand shot out, the slap echoing sharply in the tense silence that followed.SLAP!"You sorry excuse for a man!" Emily's voice sliced through the air, dripping with scorn. "Logan's barely out of his twenties, and you, well past fifty. Aren't you ashamed, cowering before someone half your age?"At her words, Soegi's gaze swept over Logan, taking in the young man's muscular frame, a stark contrast to his own frail, aging body.Comparing himself to Logan was like measuring earth against the sky—utterly unfair and illogical."Honey," Soegi pleaded, his voice strained. "Please, let's not say things that defy reason. How could an old man possibly outperform a young one?"However, immediately after Soegi uttered those words, another slap landed on his face, even harder than the first. His wrinkled face flushed crimson, resembling a boiled crab."Age dictates everything," his wife scolded once more. "If I say you can defeat Logan, then you must! I won't tolerate any ex
