With groans of pain and several attempts to get up on his feet, Robin still couldn't. However, his heart was beating in fear and he could still hear the system's voice resounding in his head. QUITTING IS TANTAMOUNT TO FAILURE!The thought of failing and losing everything he owned now, including his friend, Mac was terrifying. "I will not die!" He whispered with red eyes. "What did you say?" Durk asked, mockingly. He looked down at Robin with a smirk and the way he writhed in pain enticed him so much. He had longed so much to have Robin below him and now was the time. He decided to record this moment for keeps sake. As soon as he took out his phone, to take pictures of Robin, he felt a force. Suddenly, the phone went flying a few distances away and Durk could only look on in shock. Before he knew what was happening, he was sent a punch across the face. Blood spurted out of his mouth and when he finally registered what was happening, Robin was already standing up on his feet. He
Robin opened his eyes with a sharp intake of breath and jolted up from the hospital bed. His head whipped around to see himself in a hospital but in the next second, a sudden wave of dizziness hit him. In the next second, he fell back on the bed with a slump. The machines connected to his body started to blare in alarm so much that he felt like he could hear the sound in his brain. "He is awake!" The doctor and nurses rushed into his hospital room with worried looks on their faces. They saw Robin with his eyes open but he was unmoving. His heart rate has spiked up so much and they rushed to bring him back to normal. Robin had suffered a hit in the head, twice and it was a miracle that he didn't get brain damage after everything. "Everything is set, doctor!" One of the nurses said and quickly the doctor started to perform his routine on Robin. He tried to bring his heart rate back to normal. All this while, his hands were tightened around him while the system's screen was display
Days had passed and Robin had been in the hospital with Mac. He had gotten his bandage off but his friend wasn't awake yet. During this time, Angie had been coming around and he was already fed up with her antics. "Hi, Robin." She greeted him as soon as she walked into his hospital room. Her eyes blinked at him as he waved at her, nonchalantly. "Why are you here?" Robin asked, with his head in his hands. He felt a bit nauseous due to the heavy perfume she had on. "I'm here to give you food. I know the hospital's food wouldn't be so tasty." She said and he chuckled. "I never complained, did I?" Robin said, with a nonchalant tone. Seeing the way Angie was acting, he was a bit wary as he never wanted any attachment with her or any other woman."Yeah! But I want you to get well." She replied and Robin went quiet. Soon, she set the food on the table but he didn't move an inch. He never knew if the food was poisoned or not. Though it smelt really nice, he couldn't trust just anyone an
For a moment, Robin was taken aback by her words and he couldn't even say anything. He then spoke up, "Aren't you mistaken?" He asked. He frowned, wondering if this was how people were rude to people whom they did not even know. "Of course, I'm not mistaken!" The salesperson said as she eyed him, condescendingly. "I should not even waste my time with you. If you want a house, you can do some window shopping and get lost!" She thundered and then turned around to walk away. Her hips swayed seductively as she walked away but Robin wasn't one bit moved. For a few minutes, Robin stood in the same place as he watched other salespeople attend to other customers in the real estate company. "Hello, sir. I think you should come back some other time. My colleagues are vehemently against attending to you." One of the salespeople walked up to Robin and said, politely. She looked timid and it was as if she was having a difficult time. He didn't want to make things more difficult for her, so
"Swipe that card and let's get it over with, Yilena. You should also prepare to Pack your things and leave." The arrogant salesperson said with a devious look. People like her would always seek for a person's downfall and Robin was not surprised to see such a vicious look in her eyes.On the other hand, Yilena shook due to the threat thrown at her. She looked at Robin who assured her with a nod. Slowly, she went over to the counter and pressed a few buttons, she then swiped the card. They all waited with bathed breaths but there was no sound of the card going through. "You see what I told you all? He is a pauper!" The arrogant salesperson yelled, in happiness. "Kowtow at my feet now!" She yelled.Robin was confused about what was happening. He looked at Yilena but she was obviously fiddling with the machine in her hand. He knew that there was more than enough money to pay for the dark mansion, in his card. "Didn't you hear what I said? Bow before me, now!" The salesperson conti
As the taxi pulled over in front of the school's building, Robin got down confused and bewildered that he didn't get any reward from the system. "Why do I not have a reward?" He asked the system, with a frown.[Robin Claire, as stated earlier, you will get another mission and your reward will be given to you, later on. However, failure to fulfill this mission, you are going to lose your just-acquired hacking skills.]"What?" Robin asked in shock as he stood before the school building. His eyes bulged, knowing the hacking skills he acquired, were related to the last mission he did, of saving Mac. But now, he stood a chance to lose his skills if he failed the next mission. It would only mean he was not worthy of the skill. He took a deep breath, to calm himself and he spoke up. "What then is my next mission?" He asked with a sigh. He could see that students around were looking at him, weirdly. They had seen the news and they knew how he had saved Mac like a hero. But then Robin di
Robin, alongside his worker, Gerald who had come to alert him, rushed to the large garage space where his logistics company was located.His eyes dimmed seeing the notice from the school's authorities in his office. He was seated behind a desk, in a large space. "You have been summoned, boss! What do you think they want?" Gerald asked, with a shiver. Robin had put him in charge of the logistics company a while ago and ever since then, his life had changed. He was also a poor boy but now, he could spend on things he was frugal with before. "They just want trouble." Robin replied with a snort as he threw the notice aside. There wasn't anything important in the notice, just that they wanted his presence. Even though he knew they wanted trouble, he knew that he couldn't just ignore the notice. His studentship was at stake and even though he didn't really need to go to school, anymore, he was still greatly interested in completing college. "How is the company's revenue now?" Robin ask
"What is going on?" The director asked with a frown as he shut up to his feet. His eyes widened in shock, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. Several students were stationed outside the dormitory block and it was obvious that there was an ongoing contest. "This is the cause! It was posted on the school's forum that the school is planning to shut down Claire's Logistics as well as dismiss Robin from school. The students are out protesting against that decision!" The receptionist said with a shaky voice. "What did you say? What the fuck did you just say? How did that get out? No one knew about us summoning Robin here except you and all of us!" The director thundered, in anger while the receptionist flinched. It was hard talking to the director on normal days and now, it was extremely hard to even talk to him. "Who posted that shit! Tell me!" He yelled while the chancellor and the two secretaries present stood up to their feet. The director continued to yell with an uncouth att
