But Britney's every flirtation and seduction managed to make Asher melt and choose to date the girl who lived in New Castle. Asher thinks that at least the girl is in a city not far from Asher's hometown.
But after that, Julian came and broke Asher's mind. The man immediately replied with a sharp intake of breath, "Mate, you need to calm down. I have something important to tell you. It's all to do with your girlfriend. There's something important you should know."
"I honestly don't want to see you get treated like this, but it's a painful fact," Julian said sadly.
The man then showed Britney's tok account, which featured an intimate video between the girl and another man.
It made Asher not want to believe. Asher took Julian's mobile phone and scrolled through Britney's account and saw that there was a lot of intimate content between the girl and other men. What's worse is that Asher seems to recognise the man in the content.
"The man in the video is very familiar to me. Isn't this man Ronin one of my classmates?" thought Asher, who had just been slapped by reality.
It made Asher's heart break even more. Asher opened his mouth, "Mate, where did you get all this from? You must be lying, right? Ronin is a bad guy who likes to play with women's hearts, so he can't be with Britney."
Asher stressed as if he couldn't believe it. With a cold face, Asher clenched his fists until his nails dug in, and a little blood came out.
"Calm down, it's all true; when I went home in the summer, I happened to meet the two of them in Newcastle. That's why when you showed me the picture of your girlfriend, I felt like I had met that girl somewhere. That's why I decided to follow up with her on social media," Julian confessed.
"Britney even said clearly that Ronin was her first boyfriend." Julian felt sorry for Asher.
"Damn it," Asher muttered angrily.
Asher obviously knew Ronin's family. The man's family was famous for having a business in the automotive field and being able to generate high turnover profits. Not to mention that Ronin was an only child, it was clear that the man would inherit everything.
With such abundant assets, Ronin is definitely an ideal man who would make any girl swoon at the sight of him. Asher could not even compete with Ronin, as their wealth was obviously vastly different.
"I can't afford to be careless. I'd better confirm it myself," Asher was determined. Asher immediately called Britney through the feature on the app.
"Hey, it's Britney. Wanna shower me?" Britney answered from the other side of the phone.
Asher heard Britney's voice for the first time, which had been deceiving him, making Asher cold-faced. What's more, the girl was being so cheeky on a public call.
"Hello, I'm your boyfriend, Asher Parker," Asher got straight to the point.
Britney, who heard this, then fell silent and was surprised. Then Britney said slowly, "Oh, Asher Parker, yeah. Wanna shower me with a couple of bucks?"
"Are you crazy? You still want money from me?" responded Asher, who was starting to get angry.
"Listen to me carefully, honey. Life needs money. Oh yeah, since I don't want to waste time, I'll just tell you that I've ended our relationship because I need to pursue other opportunities in life."
"Babe, don't be like that. I didn't know you got a job." Despite his anger, Asher tried to remain calm.
The man's tone surprised Britney, but she didn't think much of it. The girl responded very confidently. "Yes, I got a job at a repair company. So I hope you can stay away from me from now on. In the future, my salary will be higher than yours. My position will even be very secure. So please forgive me if I can't make you my lover again. I already spent the last money you gave me anyway."
Asher felt a surge of rage; he had been cheated out of his salary, and he had been so blind and foolish.
"How could I fall for that venomous woman? How could I make her my girlfriend? How could I trust her with everything?" Asher regretted his decisions.
"Go to hell, you cunt," Asher spat out, trying to calm his breathing.
"I don't give a damn about my love, and I've seen your true self. You and Ronin deserve each other," Asher hung up the phone.
After working a full day, Asher collapsed on the bed, feeling exhausted. But then Asher heard a noise and saw a system panel in front of him.
RING!
[Will you accept me, the consortium system?]
[Yes/No]
"What the f-? A consortium system?" Asher wondered if he was out of his mind.
Asher jumped up and ran out of his room.
On the balcony, Asher saw Julian smoking.
"Dude, what's wrong with you?" Julian asked.
"Nothing, man. Did you see anything?" Asher asked back.
Julian looked at his friend with a puzzled expression. He responded, "No. I didn't see anything."
"All right." Asher went back to his room, where the system menu was still above him. Asher couldn't tell anyone about this issue.
"The consortium system, right?"
[Yes, sir. The details will be available once you answer me. Will you accept the consortium system?]
"Yeah, I guess."
[The system's installation process started; please hold on tight with your surroundings.]
10% 20% 30% 40% 50%
60% 70% 80% 90% 100%
[The miserable condition detected. The consortium system will help you with various tasks to improve your life. There will be rewards for each completed task.]
"Gosh, isn't this like the iconic system ability in a web novel?"
After the process was complete, a system menu appeared before Asher.
[Name: Asher Parker] [Level: 0] [Charms Point: 4] [Talent: Basic Mechanical Engineering.]
[Inventory: None.] [Shop: Locked.] [Lottery: unavalaible]
[Balance: $400] [Tasks: will appear]
If he looked closely, Asher felt like he was looking at a game panel. He then followed every instruction. The system manual guide is currently helping Asher.
Asher walked out of Walmart, carrying bags of groceries that he bought with the system's funds. He felt a sense of relief and satisfaction as he loaded them into the borrowed car. [RING! Congratulations, you have spent $1000 in less than 30 minutes after following the system's manual guidance. You get a $20,000 prize and three system points.] TRING! Asher checked his ancient phone that he got from his birthday gift and saw a surprising notification. [Dollar Bank Info: the Account's holder 0987654 made a transaction at 7.20 p.m., and the Total Balance is now $20.400." Asher was stunned; he had a bank account that he only used to receive his monthly salary. But now it seems that the consortium system is also connected to Asher's bank account. [Name: Asher Parker] [Level: 0] [System point: 3/100] [Charms Point: 4] [Skills: Basic Mechanical Enginnering] [Inventory: None] [Shop: Locked] [Lottery: Unavailable] [Balance: $20.400] [Task: System Manual Guidance completed] [Are you rea
A few days passed, Asher was sitting in a restaurant, working on some documents. He had a lot on his plate and needed some assistance. Asher decided to look for a personal assistant since he was not good at Management, so Asher needed someone else to run his businesses. "That woman is so suspicious. What happened?" Asher muttered softly when he saw a woman walk. Near the woman's table were a few men who looked shady. Those men kept glancing at the woman as if they had a plan. Asher felt a pang of pity; his intuition told him that the woman was in danger. "System, can you scan all their info?" Asher asked. [The ability to scan someone's data may be used on someone close to you.] "You can check that woman and those men." [Her name is Rachel Blackwood. Her age is 24. Her Charms point is in 9. Rachel is a management expertise.] [As the secretary of a large company, Rachel recently offended her boss because she did not want to be harassed, so she resigned and hid her identity]. [Th
"Is that a real gun?" Those guys exclaimed as he backed away. It turned out they only carry a gun and don't know how to use it properly. "Get down now, or I'll shoot your leg and make you crippled for life." "Fuck!" They were still reluctant, but when they heard the police sirens from afar, they panicked. "My friends are on their way," Asher said confidently. Asher knew he was risking his life. If this trick didn't work, Asher would be the one lying in the hospital forever. Asher was glad to see those men surrender. Asher grabbed the rope from his bag and tossed it to Rachel, who looked confused but understood what Asher meant. "I get it," Rachel used the rope to tie up the criminals. After securing them all, Rachel walked up to Asher and thanked him sincerely. Asher was thrilled as it was his first time being so close to a beautiful woman, so he was naturally nervous. "Thank you," Rachel said. Asher compared Rachel to his Britney and realised there was no comparison. Both of
The sound of shattering glass echoed through the office, making everyone turn their heads. Mr Turner, the pot-bellied boss, was furious. He had just received the news that his team had failed to secure a significant contract. He threw his coffee mug at the window, not caring about the mess or the cost. "Rachel, how can you get away with this!" he shouted at his secretary, who was standing nearby. "What are you looking at, you useless cunt!" The woman was stunned and immediately left the room. It happened because Rachel left the company after she had worked hard for Mr Turner for two years. A glimpse of memory appeared before his eyes. "Mr Turner, I'm a woman of honour," Rachel tried to reason with him. "It's not fair to force me to do something I don't desire." "Shut up! How dare you raise your voice like that!" Mr Turner yelled. "You're lucky I don't sue you for negligence!" "Negligence? I tried to forget this issue and move right past it. But I guess I'll see you in court." Rac
Asher took a Doctor's Suit and started to analyse the Patient as if he were going to cure him. [RING! New mission. You must cure an old man who is currently in a vegetative state.] The system referred to the nearby VIP ward in a room so luxurious that even the ward where Asher was treated could not be compared; it was more accurately called the Room of the Rich than the VIP Ward. "The system scanned this old man's identity," Asher said as he looked at the white-haired man lying unconscious on the bed with a digital device connected to his body. [Name: Sebastian Hayes] [Notes: One of the wealthiest people in Nevada today has been in a vegetative state for ten years; the older man's body is exposed to toxins that cannot be detected by modern medicine, which will degrade the body's functions day by day]. [If you don't save him within an hour, then the old man will die due to declining body functions, but if the task fails, you get no punishment.] Asher felt a pang of pity for the o
Asher felt exhausted after using his inner energy to cure the old man. He had never tried such a difficult task before, and he was not sure if he could succeed. He had to channel his energy through his hands into the old man's body and then draw out the poison that was slowly killing him. He watched as a thick black liquid emerged from the old man's mouth and flowed into a flower vase next to him. The liquid was foul-smelling and corrosive; it burned through the vase and spilt onto the floor. Asher hoped that no one would notice the mess. He was glad that he had locked the door behind him and that no one had disturbed him during his operation. He checked the old man's vital signs; they were stable and normal. His skin had regained some colour, and his breathing was steady. He had done it; he had saved him. Noora, who had witnessed the whole process, was amazed and grateful. She had seen Asher use his hands to heal her grandfather without any instruments or drugs. She had seen the p
It was evening; Asher and Rachel met at the same restaurant, and they exchanged glances. Asher was dressed casually, but he still looked handsome. He was sitting with Julian, his friend from Winchester, waiting for someone. "Wow, boss, look at that woman. She's stunning. Is she a celebrity?" Julian exclaimed as he saw a woman enter the place. "She's all right," Asher replied indifferently, making Julian wonder if his boss had lost interest in women after breaking up with his girlfriend. Julian, who was known as a flirt in his village, knew that he had no chance with this woman. "Good evening, boss," but what shocked and puzzled Julian more was that the woman greeted his boss. "Damn, is this his childhood friend he mentioned about?" Julian thought. "Have a seat," Rachel was amazed by the change in Asher. His beautiful eyes glanced at her with curiosity. "Don't look at me like that. I'm still the same person." Asher sipped his coffee and said, "This is just a side effect of yester
The sudden rise of Sun Frey Company shook the business world of Samland. This mysterious corporation swiftly took over Bailey's Building Company, one of the top players in the industry. A meeting of the board of directors was held at Bailey's Building Company headquarters, and a stunning woman presided over it. She was none other than Rachel, the president of Sun Frey Company. She had learned that Asher, her lover, had won the company in a lottery, and she was not surprised by his luck. But when she heard the name of the company, she gasped, "So he is the one who owns Bailey's Building Company!" The board of directors nodded in awe. "Well, as we agreed before, Sun Frey Company will be in charge, and everything else will remain the same," Rachel concluded the meeting; she was not only beautiful but also powerful and decisive. The directors did not dare to challenge her decision and could only admire her. "President Rachel, can we have lunch together?" a handsome man in designer cloth
