Alex massaged the side of his head that had been hit by the thief earlier. Alex didn't know if there was a bruise there, but it was still throbbing with pain and he felt a little dazed.Even so, Alex couldn't help but smile considering the level jump he had gotten.It felt like a dream, but that was what happened.Name: Alexander GatesLevel: 60 (60/100)Powers: GoldHealth: Very GoodCoin Power: UnlimitedWeapon System: VR, Golden Sword, Rifle, Boomerang, Missile, Stratcher.Total Wealth: $ InfinityHis transformed identity flashed in his head. Now, he was at level 60 and his task would probably be much harder.However, his supervisor also said that the rewards were much more abundant. Like money that multiplied with the system coins. Alex could also join the prestigious annual race in the system world, which was usually only held once every 100 years.His supervisor gave a sneak peek at the race that would soon be held.Alex stretched his body again and leaned back on the sofa for a
Alex rushed over and checked his father-in-law's pulse.It was very weak.His heart was beating wildly as he lifted Bachdim's body and ordered the taxi to rush to the hospital at top speed. The taxi driver stared in shock, but he quickly carried out Alex's orders."Dad, dad! Wake up!" Alex continued to pat the cheeks of Bachdim who was babbling incoherently. The back of his head was wet and blood was oozing out of it. Either he had fallen or someone had hit the back of his head. His body also smelled strongly of alcohol, as if he had just been swimming in a sea of vodka.Alex frantically used his coat to bandage his father-in-law's head. He couldn't think straight seeing Bachdim's dying condition. His chest rose and fell irregularly, while his face was deathly pale.Alex had seen his father's terrible condition before, but this was twice as bad. He couldn't stop his hands from trembling, as he continued to press his jacket to stop Bachdim's blood from flowing.What exactly happened th
Verg's family waited in the emergency room, taking turns to look after Bachdim, whose condition was becoming increasingly worrying.Alex only had time to change his dirty clothes and see Bianca briefly. She had gone to bed and was now accompanied by her babysitter, which Alex had brought along since they would all be staying at the hospital for the night.The doctor had come to do a check-up, but there was no change whatsoever. Instead, Bachdim's face paled further and his heartbeat became weaker.Suddenly, Lecia came out of the emergency room and screamed. It was exactly midnight so her voice echoed very loudly."Doctor! Doctor!"The doctor came hurrying over, while Alex and Lucia rushed over."Doctor, my daddy is suddenly short of breath! Please check, quickly!"The doctor entered with two nurses, and shortly after checking, Bachdim suddenly lost consciousness.The doctor quickly called for a defibrillator. Alex and Lucia approached frantically, but the nurses told them all to stay
By late afternoon, Alex's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who had disappeared into thin air, now came home looking upset.Lucia invited them all to sit on the sofa and made tea, but they refused.Alex watched with a furrowed brow, wary that something was up. He stood in the living room opening, staring at them.Since last night when they were still in the hospital, they seemed to be discussing something while occasionally glancing at Alex and Lucia. Now, it seemed that what they were discussing was about to surface.Lucia looked at her siblings in confusion. The black bags in her eyes were still very noticeable, even after sleeping for hours. Her face was also still pale, with chapped lips.Lucia actually still needed to rest, but hearing her brother's arrival, she hurried to get up. After losing her father, Lucia only had her siblings. So, she wanted to treat them well, despite the unpleasant past.However, the response she got now was shocking.What had made her siblings and their
After the incident that day, Lucia didn't speak to her siblings at all because she was hurt.A week passed and they started behaving normally again, as if the previous incident had never happened.Whenever Alex and Lucia went out with Bianca, they would come over to say hello, but both Alex and Lucia ignored them.Bianca, who understood that her aunt and uncle were the cause of Lucia's crying, did the same. Alex and Lucia took time off from work after Bachdim's death, spending more time at the park to entertain themselves."What would Mommy Lucia like to bake this afternoon?" Bianca swung Lucia's arm as she carried a paper bag filled with strawberries. They had just returned from the mini-park and passed several small shops selling vegetables and fruits."Yorkshire pudding, darling," Lucia replied with a small smile. She was so excited to be back home baking. This time it was a baked pudding that she always made in winter. "It tastes so good and I'm sure you'll love it.""Mommy Lucia'
This morning, Alex intended to go to Bi's office.It had been over a week since he had stayed at home with some company reports from Missi. Alex was able to get most of his work done at home, but today, he had three important meetings that had been delayed. One of them was a meeting with Angelo Gambino.Lucia herself extended her leave by two weeks. It doesn't matter if Lucia doesn't work, but Lucia still wants to pursue her dreams.She still wanted to spend more time with Bianca.In the past few days, Alex had been thinking about one thing that had somehow just occurred to him. Maybe later, at the right time, he could persuade Lucia to become his personal secretary. They could work together all the time, exchanging ideas on the progress of Bi's company.Lucia is a smart woman.Alex had seen the proof himself, displayed in her performance as an employee. It's no wonder some clients appreciate Lucia's involvement in important meetings.From the start, Lucia had only worked in the finan
"Shit!"Tonny shouted angrily as he threw his files against the wall. Behind him, Lecia was relentlessly pounding on her own couch, an outlet for the frustration gnawing at her chest.They had just been humiliatingly kicked out of Bi company!With hundreds of employees' eyes watching, as well as mouths uttering insults. Not to forget the disgusted looks on their faces.Lecia wanted to disappear from this world. Alex had humiliated her. Alex had made her look like a shameful woman. Alex had made her and Tonny look like thieves in front of everyone."Alex! Alex! Alex! It's all because of Alex!" Lecia roared and threw her body on the sofa hard. But a second later, she screamed as the rubber came out and slapped her ass. "Ouch, useless sofa! You're the same as Alex!" she cursed as she stood up in exasperation.If Lecia hadn't thought about the high cost of her other belongings, she might have destroyed her house. Similarly, Tonny could now only punch the wall repeatedly.They were so ang
Alex put his stamina drink into the bottle, then grabbed a fresh towel from the closet. This morning, he planned to go to the gym for a quick workout.As Alex put on his coat and socks, the system panel popped up with a notification about his prize.'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED LEVEL 60 TASK 1!'Alex had been looking forward to this since yesterday. He wondered what his reward would be. He pressed the button and two things appeared simultaneously."So it's true..." he muttered.Alex grinned when he saw the prize money of 25 million dollars and 100 system coins.So this was what his supervisor meant by a double prize. It was no wonder why people were trying so hard to pass level 50. There were apparently a lot of benefits to be gained.Alex felt lucky to have gotten such a big level jump. Maybe there would be more spectacular prizes in the future. He was very curious about the prizes at the upper levels, especially level 90 to level 100.Still a long way off, he th
