My World Domination System Chapter 156 - Foreboding
On the elevator ride down, Bradley asked: "So, this thing is supposed to make me bulletproof?""Theoretically. But not this one. The host has no [Body Enhance] skills" clarified Benjamin."[Body Enhance]" repeated a lost Bradley."It won't make you bulletproof, but you can go really fast. Like, zoom zoom" Benjamin demonstrated with his fingers. "Well, you have to see it to believe it""I don't doubt that. Is there like an 'On' Button, or--" Bradley fiddled and flipped the card multiple times to check."Calm down, Sheesh" remonstrated Benjamin. "We're not even outside yet" And turned to Mr. Markham. "Is there an 'On' button?"Markham bobbed his head and said: "There is a pattern. You flip the card in a specific order. First, Back To Front 4 times. Then Front to Back 3 times. And finally Back To Front 9 times. To activate [Avatar Mode]." he explained."You catch all that?" Benjamin asked Bradley."Way ahead of you" replied Bradley, completing a flip, and then perking his head and ears

"But I want to hear you say it. What exactly do you mean by trouble?"Dominique turned to his Captain. I don't take direct orders from him. Should I say anything? Bradley nodded for him to go ahead."Arson, Sir" replied Dominique."Arson! What the fuck? Who?!""We're working on identifying some of them, now, Sir""So we didn't catch anyone?""We're going to. I believe we have some addresses now, but the madam will give you the complete details."Benjamin shook his head. "I'll deal with this when I get back. But in the meantime, Good work! Let's go, Bradley.""You did good, Kid. Again, about this whole thing. I'm sorry it has to be like this"Of course, Bradley was referring to the whole arrangement of their precinct coming to work for a private individual."It's quite alright. I mean, it's not alright, in the face of the law, Captain. But we trust your instincts. And I have to thank you too. Those arsonists are the only action I've seen since joining the force." remarked the boy."Ju
My World Domination System Chapter 158 - Mutually Assured Destruction
"I assume you have a plan for when the police or 911 or some other watchful entity realizes there's a fucking helicopter on the beach? That's the whole reason I've managed to stay calm until now," said Bradley."Yeah, there's a plan.""Hmm? The plan is that we work fast, and get the fuck out of here." motivated Benjamin, tugging on the crate. That didn't budge."PAYTON, activate [Martial Arts].""At once, Master Benjamin. However, you should know, that [Martial Arts] is incapable of granting inhuman strength, such as ripping a wooden shipping crate with your bare hands," explained PAYTON."There is another skill for that.""Allow me" interrupted Bradley, almost shoving Benjamin aside."Let me guess," said Benjamin, watching Bradley brace his hands at one of the crate ends. Then, with a simple movement similar to a furniture man laying down a rug, Bradley casually peeled off one of side of what looked like dozens of laminated wood."I could get used to this," remarked Bradley, as they
My World Domination System Chapter 159 - Son-In-Law
"Then you would be considered a madman, stripped of your career, your loved ones, and ironically your sanity. That is, if you got lucky, and the Alliance doesn't get to you first." iterated Benjamin."I-uhh, huh""Mutually Assured Destruction, Bayubee. I mean, I'll be fine, but you get the point. I just trust your instinct to stay alive and thrive, that's all."Bradley looked over the machine a few more seconds before saying: "Then trust it. I have no reason and no means to do anything. What's with the pen? And the Alliance? What's the deal?""Is it really important that you know?"Bradley nodded.Benjamin sighed. "Fine. Where do I start? The Alliance. It's a secret organization, I suppose. Filled with rich people, and people like me.""By people like you, you mean--""Systems, yes." "I see. And how does one become?""I don't know actually. Huh. I was randomly given a system, I suppose. When I was still a son-in-law at my fiance's house?""Son-In-Law? Why would they give something lik

"I assume Mo' Money, Mo' power, like the rest of them?" "No" started Benjamin absent-mindedly. "Something much more powerful than that. Can you take a guess""I'd say revenge" shot Bradley quickly. Benjamin sat up. How did he know? he wondered."Wondering how I know, Mr. Benjamin? Come on, give me some credit. I am a detective, after all. You're young.Several years younger than me and the rest of us at the precinct. You said you used to be a Son-In-Law, right? Staying at your fiance's house? With the rest of her immediate family too, right? That can't have been easy" questioned Bradley.Benjamin waited for him to continue his reasoning."Now, you're a big shot somehow. It's not rocket science to figure out what's next on your mind" finished Bradley.Benjamin clapped softly. "Well done, Bradley. You look so ordinary sometimes that I just think that's all that equates to your thinking capacity""You're not going to hire someone to kill them or something, right?" asked Bradley, half-p
My World Domination System Chapter 161 - Flying Punch
"Is that it?" asked Bradley, beckoning Benjamin to come over. Benjamin saw it and nodded. "Only one way to find out" "But are you seeing that? It's buried below the sand. Pretty deeply too!" "The waves must have washed off the sand from the shore to bury it" analyzed Benjamin, who had stooped down to untie his shoes. "Wait" started Bradley, shocked "You're not going down there to actually look??" "What exactly do you think we're doing here, Bradley?" "You're going to find some flimsy pen beneath all that sand? Are you kidding me? With all the water in the way too? It's literally worse than looking for a needle in a dry haystack? Unless, I can't believe I'm saying this, but with all I've seen, unless, you have some skill that allows you breathe in the water then?" Benjamin did not have such a skill. "Actually--" started PAYTON. "I don't want to hear it, PAYTON. It's not like I have the money anyway" He turned to Bradley. "No, but I got something else." He was referring to the
My World Domination System Chapter 162 - Questioning
Skill? Do they think the System Destruction Ability is a skill?"Drop the card on the ground, Mr. Benjamin Black" instructed the man.Shit! He's being too cautious, panicked Benjamin."Benjamin" Brdley started agitated. "Why the fuck are we listening to anything this cocksucker has to say?""For a guy who has family back home, you sure do seem to be taking the high road a lot more recently. Whatever happened to safeguarding your life at all costs?""Oh? And you think he's going to let us off easily because he got a piece of plastic?" Bradley pointed, and Benjamin turned to look at the split and broken wooden pier strut."Does that look like somebody who's going to show even a morsel of restraint?" asked Bradley."Step back, Bradley" Benjamin instructed this time. Bradley looked at him with a side-eye but stepped back eventually."What's making him so earnest? The Avatar Mode? Benjamin wondered at his stubbornness. We can't win. I've already had [Practical Intelligence] run a scenario
My World Domination System Chapter 163 - Cleanup Duty
"I thought you were questioning them?" he asked."I was. Until things got a little out of control." Bradley replied.Agent Jacobs stooped to check their pulses. "They're out cold. And with the bruises on this one's neck--" He turned to Bradley. "You were questioning them alone?""I'm the only one on this beach, aren't I?" shrugged Bradley, trying to focus on looking at them, and not on Benjamin's body that was still atop the wooden pier."What about your firearm? You could've used that?""I didn't bring it.""What?""I thought this was only a search, and sweep, and I had to get here quickly too." lied Bradley. He had handled both his pistols to Benjamin that morning when the boy had insisted it was crucial to an ongoing operation."Why do I listen so much to that kid" wondered Bradley. Agent Jacobs whistled. "You must be a pretty capable man, Captain Bradley.""What? It's not like they have tough personalities of their own. These are just the run-of-the-mill scumbags" scoffed Bradley.

EPILOGUE
It was a long exhausting flight, and the first order of business was to stop by the University and see the fruits of JMONEY's work. He rode in one of the SUVs, and sure enough, he could see mayhem from even the gate."I'm sorry, Sir. The University can't grant entry to any visitors at the moment. For your own safety." said one of the University's security."Is there something wrong, Officer?" asked Benjamin."We have a few troublemakers we're dealing with. That's all.""Then it's fine, you can let me in" Benjamin used [Bow Down To Me]."Understood, Sir." Benjamin watched as they drove past broken windows, strewn toilet paper on the lawn, black graffiti on beige-white buildings, and a bunch of boys in ski masks running with metal bats. He dialed Michael and JMONEY's numbers. "Come to the dorms."Holy Shit" whispered JMONEY as he entered the air-conditioned Range Rover. Michael entered the front seat, with similar exclamations."What's the status report?" questioned Benjamin."The sta

"Huh?" muttered James. "The hell?"But Benjamin looked up to find Black's easygoing face had turned grave. He almost resembled his wife."I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, Benjamin," answered Mr. Black.Ahh, I see."Thank you for confirming it. I've had a hard time trying to decide if what that bastard told me was the truth, or not. Goodbye." dismissed Benjamin.In an instant, Black appeared before him, his hands crushing Benjamin's wrists to take hold of the pen."You should've just listened, and taken the easy way out, Benjamin," said Black softly.[Notice: [Enhanced Body] compromised.]Benjamin screamed in pain as Black wretched the pen from his fingers, but all too suddenly, Black's movements stopped. His eyes swayed from Benjamin to his stomach.There was a red swelling around a spot where It looked like his intestines had caved. A fatal swelling. James Black removed his hand slowly after delivering a deadly punch to his father's guts. Blood streamed from Black's mout

The man returned to observing the calm waves of the beach, even though Benjamin was now only inches away, looking down on him.Is this Bastard going to make me talk first? frowned Benjamin. He cleared his throat. "You were looking for me?" he started but decided that was too polite. "What the fuck do you want?" he added.The man pointed to his left. "Take a seat. You're in my sun.""What seat?" barked Benjamin, but he was stunned to see, by the man's left, almost touching his shoulders, an identical beach chair. That's Impossible. There was only one plastic chair on this entire Beach! I was sure of that just a few seconds ago.The man gestured again: "Aren't you going to sit?""No, thanks. I'd rather stand."There was no further communication from the 'GrandMaster', until Benjamin decided, reluctantly, to take the Beach chair. Activating [Enhanced Body] first."Now talk" commanded Benjamin."You've done well to make it this far. To be honest, it was pretty touch and go there for a lon
Chapter 174 - Flight
Benjamin turned over the phone and unlocked it. A video was already playing on the home screen. It was a hospital setting, which immediately set off different alarms in Benjamin's head.It was a private ward, and Benjamin recognized the pattern of the windows, the wall colors, and some brand-new equipment by the patient's bedside, which looked a lot like the pictures of hospital machines Amber had once shown to him for approval.The video was in Medhill Hospital. The patient was a still, petite figure with long straight hair that had to be combed for her every morning because she was incapable of waking up to do it herself. It was Ivy Wallouby."I trust you need no further explanation," asked James Black. Benjamin looked up at him with eyes of controlled fury."I'll kill you" he stated, not as a threat, but a prognostication of what was to come."I don't doubt that you would if you could, that is. But I hope this puts everything into perspective. Now, are you willing to hear what I ha

"So, what are you going to do, Justine?"Madam Black looked from family to foe. Claire, Simon, and Mardo were eagerly anticipating some strong response, based on how they were looking at her with wide impatient eyes. She looked back at Benjamin, still dumbfounded."What do you want?" she asked him."Want? Well, Mrs Caroline may be exaggerating things slightly there, so I don't blame you for thinking that way. This isn't some threat, or even Blackmail, Ma'am. In fact, it's quite the opposite. We're here out of respect, and professional courtesy, as Amber had deduced that maybe the board might have not told you." Benjamin rose."And now you know. We'll work with Mrs Caroline to send out figures first thing on Monday morning. It should be a good deal to think over the weekend.""Why are you doing this?" cut in Claire. For a long time, even since the bank incident, she had not been able to look him directly in the eyes. But now she did.Her eyes are weak and dull, thought Benjamin, before

Benjamin grinned and clinked his glass a few more times. "A toast, everyone." Soon, the sound of Benjamin's glass was the only sound to be heard in the hotel's hall. Benjamin looked again to the Black family table.Madam Black, Simon, and Mardo had all joined Claire in a gaping expression.Benjamin raised his glass. "To the couple--"Mardo rose. "Get this hobo out of here! Now!" he instructed, not minding decorum. The guests were appalled as some security approached Benjamin."Are you sure you should be treating your guests this way?" asked Benjamin."And when I find out who let him in here, you all are going to have a lot to answer for!" Mardo berated the security.Should I get rough? wondered Benjamin. But before two of the guards could close the distance by a further step, 3 gentlemen from a nearby table rose and quickly approached to block the guards."What?""Is exactly what I want to ask, Mr.Mardo." Caroline's voice pierced the air from the table next to Benjamin. "As far as I k

Amber donned a sunset brown dress that draped all the way to her ankles, barely brushing past the straps of the fragile, but stunning black high heels. On both of her wrists were gold and silver bracelets stacked upon each other in closed, tight gaps.Her necklace was even simpler; a round thin chain of something that sparkled under the building spotlights, and helped to accentuate her mischievous smile. She had curled the ends of her hair into two stunning semi-circles that she brushed off her chest as she approached the dumbfounded Benjamin."Ready when you are, Boss." she poked playfully."Looks like someone's been on a shopping spree. Do I need to look into your salary?" he teased."If you do, you should remember all the bonuses I should have made for all my *hard work*""I'm just surprised you even had the time.""Oh, no. I had my cousin pick this out for me.""Really? Wonder what she looks like."Johnny Zeppeli coughed. "Don't you people have somewhere to be already? This is sti

"Pauper?""Not quite, as you can see. I usually go by Benjamin these days. Also, CEO of Ivy Corp. President of the Medhill board. Or just simply, Boss. The elevator's closing, Mr. Mardo. Don't you have somewhere to be?"Mardo Wormwood found himself leaning slightly off-center and stopped himself with the door before he could fall and collapse right there."It's impossible" he whispered under his breath, staring at Benjamin like he was the 8th wonder of the world. A wonder that had risen from the dead and posed a threat to his survival."You know what they say. Something's always impossible until it's not." smiled Benjamin.Mardo massaged his head. "I have to be dreaming or something"Benjamin pushed the button for the ground floor, with Mardo inside. "Don't worry, Mr. Mardo. All will be explained in time. And by in time, I mean very soon. Extremely sooon" The doors began to close. "See you at the Wedding" winked Benjamin from the other side.On the ground floor, Mardo was still strugg
Chapter 169 - Elevator Pauper
Inside the tower, Mardo stopped by the front desk."Excuse Me. I would like to see the CEO" he strummed politely. Dominique, one of the officers on duty that day asked: "Do you have an appointment?""If I had, I would've mentioned it, don't you think?""Unfortunately" replied Dominique, "We can't let you in without an appointment, Sir.""Do you know who I am?"Dominique shook his head irritably."Then at least tell your boss who I am. Mardo Wormwood. Aircable CEO, and owner. Or you don't know what this too? Do yourself a favor. Pull out your phone, find out, and don't get fired for turning away someone like me when your boss comes in to check in later.""I know, Aircable, Sir. Unfortunately--" Dominque turned his attention to his pocket, where his cell was vibrating."Just one moment, Sir. Hello?"Mardo overheard a gentle tinny voice issuing an inaudible command."Alright. Understood." Dominique ended the call. "You're all set to go, Mr. Mardo. We're glad to have you."And with that,
