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
"Hi, Mr. Robin. As you can see, I'm attending to an important patient. I would like you to come back later." The doctor spoke up as soon as he saw Robin walk in. He wondered if Robin had not been stopped outside. But Robin was not even listening to the doctor anymore. He walked straight to the 'important patient' and stretched his hand toward him. "Hi, Mr. Alexander Hamilton, it's so nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you." Robin greeted, with a smile on his face. His eyes twinkled and he blessed the heavens for this coincidental meeting. "And who are you?" Alexander replied with a gruff voice. He was an old man, probably in his mid-fifties. However, he looked really sick and frail. His eyes were a bit downcast and he looked like someone who had been lonely for a long time.Immediately, something clicked in Robin's head. If Alexander was the one who was really after his company, he was going to get closer to him using his weakness. However, Robin failed to know what Alexa
"Doctor..." Robin called out as he walked into the doctor's office. He had received a report that they carried out surgery on Mac's face already. He had to pay using his system balance and he paid a sum of $4,000 for the surgery. It was a small amount and Robin did not even blink twice before wiring the money to the hospital's account. As soon as the doctor looked up to see Robin, he frowned. He couldn't forget his last encounter with him and Mr. Alexander.It may have turned out that Robin would cause him to lose a huge client and patient."Mr. Robin..." The doctor called out with a frown.On the other hand, Robin could read the room and he put on an amicable smile on his face. "I'm sorry about the other day, Doctor." Robin said with a slight bow of his head. "Oh, you are?" The doctor said, with a snort. "You know you might have caused me to lose him as my patient, right?" He asked and Robin nodded with a grimace. "I'm sorry about it, doc. I will put in good words for you." Rob
