Unexpected Videos

"Did you do what I asked?" Robin asked as he sat on a chair, right in his room. He had his old phone in hand as he started to scroll through the several posts on the school's forum. He didn't even need an answer from Mac as he had already gotten an answer to it.

"Yes, I did! No one noticed it was me." Mac replied, in an enthusiastic tone. He could see the excited look on Robin's face and he wondered what his friend was up to.

"Why did you decide to put yourself under the bus that way? I think you should have waited till the day of the opening!" Mac said as he was greatly concerned about Robin.

On the other hand, Robin looked at the comment left by Mac on the post that had been going viral on the school forum. He had earlier ordered Mac to disclose his identity of being the boss using an anonymous account.

"You will find out, soon." Robin replied, with a mysterious look on his face. This move of his was just to fish out a few people and also to spread the news so wide.

"What do you mean?" Mac asked and Robin chuckled.

"See for yourself." Robin said as he passed the phone to Mac. Right after his anonymous comment, everyone had turned crazy, and the online forum was buzzing with posts and comments!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! HOW CAN A CHURCH RAT OWN A LOGISTICS COMPANY?!

A POOR MAN LIKE HIM SHOULDN'T DREAM OF SOARING SO HIGH!

That post came up and several people started to comment how they had helped Robin when he sometimes needed money. Or when he would always not eat lunch because he had no money to eat at the school's cafeteria.

"This is not good, Robin! Everyone is making fun of you!" Mac said, in an urgent as he passed the phone back to Robin. However, he looked nonchalant even though his name was being said everywhere. He was still waiting for someone to speak up but then he did not have to wait too long.

A post suddenly popped up from the school's rich quarterback, Durk!

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THIS BULLSHIT! HOW DARE THAT POOR FELLOW TRY TO PLAY WITH OUR BRAINS?! HE HAS NO MONEY AND I GUESS HE NOW RESORTS TO STEALING IDEAS!

THAT MOTHETFUCKER STOLE MY BUSINESS IDEA! HE IS OBVIOUSLY JEALOUS OF ME!

Durk's post started to make waves and things were starting to get hotter. While Robin sat silently with his eyes closed as he contemplated a few things, Mac was pacing all around, in worry.

"That bastard! Does he have to run his mouth this way? Jealous? Who does he think he is?" Mac yelled, in an angry tone. He then turned to look at Robin.

"Why are you so calm? Durk is literally accusing you of stealing his business idea! He is calling you a thief!" He said, in anger. If it was left to him, he would have beaten Durk up by now.

"Relax, Mac. You should know that this is not over yet. Durk has no evidence that I stole his idea. He can rant all he wants, he just helping us promote our company." Robin replied, in a calm tone. Looking at him, it seemed he expected this reaction from Durk and he had everything laid out.

"But this is bad publicity!" Mac said, in a whiny tone.

"There is no bad publicity, buddy. We will put this moment to good use." Robin said.

A few minutes later, they started to hear their phones ring again. This time, it was like their phones were about to blow up and they could guess that something had happened.

Immediately, Robin took up his phone to check, his eyes widened seeing the video that popped up.

"What?!" Mac said with a look of disbelief as he looked at Robin. The video had been running for two minutes now and as Robin heard his voice from the video, he was reminded of the day he was humiliated in the gym.

A video was posted by Durk showing how Robin was ridiculed and dumped by his ex-girlfriend. At this point, Robin was starting to shake in anger as he never thought Durk would stoop so low to take such videos.

"When did this happen?" Mac asked, with a bewildered look. But then Robin wasn't ready to talk about this. It was an unexpected situation and he didn't know what was going to happen next.

Right below Durk's post, several students started to leave their comments.

"What! I never knew the school's church rat is this pathetic!"

"He was dumped by his girlfriend for being poor and now he wants to open a company? Tell me a better joke, please!"

"Boycott him! He is trying to scam us!"

These comments were vile! The students were throwing insults at Robin and they bullied him, online. While Robin continued to sit calmly while trying to control his emotions, Mac couldn't sit still anymore. He started to leave comments on the posts, insulting both Durk and the students.

Robin closed his eyes and tried to focus. He started to think that if he passed this face, he would need to put some people in their place. None of them would go scot-free for insulting him without any proof. However, his eyes snapped open as Mac shouted.

"What the fuck!" Mac cussed, in an angry tone as he started to play a video, Robin's ex-girlfriend posted. Things were happening too fast for them to comprehend.

"Oh, yes. I'm Sofia and I used to be Robin's girlfriend. I'm making this video because I do not support him in scamming others. He is just a poor delivery boy and has no money to buy his own lunch sometimes. So, I'd advise you all to stay away from him. He is no good!" Those were Sofia's words and Robin was so livid that he could have thrown up a mouthful of blood.

But then he bottled everything up with a smile. He knew everything Sofia said about him was a lie and he needed not to get angry over unnecessary people.

"Did you see that? Did you hear that? Why are you still so calm? At this rate, we would not be able to do anything!" Mac said, in a worried tone but Robin didn't bother to reply. He knew that if Mac had not seen him renovate the garage and buy those buses and cars, Mac would have turned his back on him by not believing him.

At the same time, he wished the system screen would appear before his eyes and it did. At this point, Ronin had discovered several ways to talk to the system.

Looking at the statistics on the screen, he needed to spend his money in three days. Also, he had points to use.

"System, use three points for my looks and three points for my skills. I need to get stronger." He said, in his mind. He knew people tend to gravitate towards a person who is good-looking and he intends to use that to his advantage.

[Right away, Robin!]

[System Processing...]

[Activated!]

[You have zero points and $10 million. Endeavor to perform your tasks and earn more points for your use!]

Robin heard the system's voice in his head and he smiled. He could feel some changes in his body and he did not even need to check to know what it was.

On the other hand, Mac was amazed by Ronin's calmness. However, he frowned, seeing the smile on his friend's face. He could also notice subtle changes in Robin. At this point, he started to doubt who his roommate and friend really was. Was Robin telling him the truth at all?

"We are opening tomorrow, prepare!" Robin said, suddenly, and in the next second, he stood up to his feet and walked away. He needed to put some things in place and Mac looked at him like he was seeing some stranger.

On the other side of the city, Durk was seated on a large couch while Sofia sat on his legs. The room was filled with so much smoke and it was obvious he had been smoking for a long time now.

"That bastard thinks he can do anything!" He said, in an angry tone. Ever since he took Sofia away, he was obsessed with ridiculing Robin.

"What are you going to do now?" Sofia asked, in a timid tone as she looked at Durk.

"What else? Create my own logistics company as well! I'll get him out of this school in the end! He has no place here!" Durk declared.
