"Forgive me! Let me go!" the man said in fear as he felt the pain in his hand.

"Apologize to her immediately!" said Alex pointing at the young woman.

By now, everyone in the club was watching this scene.

"Get two of your friends to apologize to her!" Alex ordered again.

The big man nodded, and he took his two friends who were still lying on the floor to apologize to the young woman. They moved to the young woman's feet and prostrated themselves while saying in unison, "Forgive us, Miss. Forgive us!"

The young lady looked at Alex, not knowing what to do.

"You forgive them?" Alex asked her.

The young woman nodded.

Then, the two bodyguards who had been guarding the door came to them, and Alex immediately ordered, "Take these three jerks out!"

The two bodyguards nodded and carried out Alex's order.

Everyone in the club went back to their places and did their previous activities, dancing, chatting, dancing while drunk.

"Are you okay?" Alex approached the young woman and asked.

    Alex kept thinking about how he could open Mr. Daniel's desk drawer."If I ask his permission to open his desk drawer then Mr. Daniel will get suspicious of me, and think I want to steal," Alex said to himself. "But, if I wait for Mr. Daniel to come out of his room, it seems impossible! I know that this man won't leave the room before he finishes his work," Alex continued. Suddenly Mr. Daniel looked at Alex. He saw Alex standing there daydreaming. "Alex, what's wrong with you? Why are you so quiet? Is there something wrong?" Alex immediately came to his senses. "Hmm...sorry, Mr. Daniel. There's nothing wrong. I'm just a little sleepy.""Finish your work, then take a short nap during break time at noon." Mr. Daniel said. Then he went back to his busy work on the table."Ok, sir." Alex replied politely.Suddenly Alex had an idea. He thought of using the Power Off Time feature. That way, he would be able to open Mr. Daniel's desk drawer without getting caught. Alex pressed the Power

    'READ THE COMMAND OF TASK 1 IN LEVEL 9 CAREFULLY!'Alex watched the system panel in front of him intently, then a line of commands appeared at the bottom.'Find 20 system coins inside X.yom's office using the VR feature!'20 system coins?Alex raised one eyebrow. He looked around the crowded office and wondered where he would find 20 gold coins? It must work like that, he thought. The VR feature will detect the system coins hidden in this office.Let's do your job, gentleman. He spoke to himself and walked to the employee room with excitement.However, he must not rush. The employees from earlier had been looking at him strangely as if he was going to steal.Well, he was just a cleaning service.Alex laughed softly and picked up his cleaning kit. He had to scour every room to find the 20 coin system.Alex decided to go to the restroom to finish his unfinished task. A green light suddenly appeared when he walked up to the door.'SYSTEM COIN DETECTED!'The system panel appeared simulta

    "What's wrong, Missi?""Well, sir. I'm preparing a grand opening event for the opening of Bi's company tonight, so I hope you as the company owner will be willing to attend the event. How about it, sir?" Missi spoke in one breath.Alex was silent for a moment. "The grand opening sounds interesting," he said. Then a smile appeared on his lips. "Alright, I'll come.""Thank you, sir. I prepared a spectacular event for you," Missi said proudly.Alex chuckled. "Well, I can't wait to see it. Thank you for your hard work, Missi.""You're welcome, sir. I've invited many successful entrepreneurs who will definitely be interested in establishing a relationship with Bi company.""Good job. Just send me the location, I might be a little late.""Yes, sir.""Yes." Alex nodded and disconnected.He put his phone in his pocket and stared at the rain pouring outside the window.He couldn't wait to see the rise of his company. Alex made sure everything went wonderfully and there would be no more of the

    Alex just wanted to enjoy his time alone while waiting for his task from the panel system, but Gerry and Beny apparently weren't content to hurl more insults. For a poor businessman, they thought Alex was too arrogant. They didn't like seeing Alex acting like that, so they approached him again."Hi, I haven't finished introducing myself yet," Gerry said, taking a glass of white wine with a cynical face.Alex just looked at him flatly and Gerry snorted."You should also know that I am Gerry Onard who is the heir to the throne of the Onard family. Do you know who the Onard family is?" again, Gerry leaned forward, as if to intimidate Alex, even though Gerry's height was far below Alex. He smiled haughtily and continued, "The Onard family is the number one richest family in the country."Oh, there's a spoiled brat here, Alex thought.Gerry seemed satisfied to see Alex's silence, thinking that Alex was so surprised to learn of Gerry's extraordinary status.Gerry chuckled and gently nudged

    "Look at his appearance, it fits his status perfectly. A poor, useless man," Mrs. Anne said with her eyes fixed on Alex. Her lips quirked in a contemptuous look. Mr. Victor nodded in agreement. "It's a shame to see him here. Everyone comes in expensive clothes, but look at him. I bet he picked those clothes up in the trash."They noticed that their appearance was glamorous and classy, on par with the other guests. Although the clothes were borrowed from a rental boutique, but at least they looked rich. Unlike Alex who looked conspicuous in his shabby and rundown clothes, any guest who saw him would definitely frown." Dad, he doesn't have any shame anymore. After being dumped by his wife, of course he'll do anything to survive, including eating for free here," John said, sighing exaggeratedly. "In the office alone, he looks so miserable. Not that I pity him, he deserves it.""Maybe he wants the lamborghini, too," Mr. Victor muttered.Mrs. Anne clucked with a smug face. "Tsk, it's obv

    Once again, Alex didn't care about all the insults.He returned to his place and focused his attention on the magnificent party decorations. Missi knew exactly how to impress the guests. They were already curious as to who owned the spectacular company Bi.For now, Alex would not expose his identity until the panel system gave the order.He was sitting in one of the chairs when the host announced that the draw for the winner of the door prize event was out."Please gather in front of the stage, ladies and gentlemen. The winner of the door prize of two lamborghinis will be announced shortly."The host came on stage with a young woman carrying two car keys.The people who had previously drawn lots eagerly crowded to the front of the stage. Alex waited at the back, knowing full well who the winner would be."Alright. So, I'll go ahead and announce the two winners of the raffle." The host opened the small paper in his hand and looked at the audience. "The lucky winner of two brand-new Lam

    Early in the morning, Alex is ready in his cleaning service uniform and intends to go to the office. He had breakfast with whole wheat bread and warm pumpkin soup as it was quite cold.After putting on his jacket, he headed to his office building. He was still a loyal cleaner there. Because this morning when he just woke up, his supervisor's voice appeared and explained about the reason why Alex still had to work at the X.yom company."Master! You must continue to work as a cleaning service at X.yom company for an indefinite period of time, because the tasks at the next level are inside the X.yom office!"That sentence kept echoing in Alex's head as he entered the employee-only elevator. So, he wasn't going to resign until his supervisor told him to. Although, seeing John's face every day was quite nauseating.The job itself wasn't boring for Alex, it was just that he hated John's bossy attitude. He didn't care, but in his heart he wished there was an assignment from the panel system

    [DING!]'TASK 1 LEVEL 10: USE THE VR FEATURE AND GOLDEN SWORD TO FIGHT ENEMIES IN THE WEALTH SYSTEM GAME!''GET READY!'Again that word 'get ready'. Was Alex supposed to do nothing and just wait for orders from the system panel?This task is definitely much harder than before, Alex thought.He stayed where he was and reread the assignment three times. Well, it was indeed a new type of task, one he had never done before.Enemies, it said. He also had to use his golden sword. Did that mean he would be fighting hard?Perhaps this was why the panel system repeatedly warned him to be prepared, because this task was not as easy as before. He had to fight against his enemy using the golden sword he got earlier.Alex had never fought in the real world, let alone used such a dangerous weapon. However, he would do everything in his power to defeat his enemy.He could do it.To be honest, there was a feeling of apprehension rising in his heart, but Alex shook his head lightly and tried to ignore

    Alex ran down the hospital hallway in a hurry. Sweat poured down his face and neck. His expression was one of panic and anxiety. He was still in the office when Alex's trusted doctor called to say that Lucia was in labor.There had been a traffic jam on the road, but luckily Alex was able to get out quickly. He rushed down the hospital hallway to the room he was told about.Lucia was in labor.He repeated the words in his head and his heart began to pound loudly.Having just turned the corner, Alex could already hear the sound of a baby crying from the open door of the room. He ran inside and saw the doctor begin to transfer the baby into Lucia's arms.Lucia turned around with her cheeks already wet with tears. "Alex, our child... our child was born safely."Alex couldn't help but cry when he heard that, especially when his eyes fell on the baby's tiny body.Lucia was right about her guess. Their first child was a girl. Alex thought she was just guessing, but she really meant what she

    A cold breeze blew in carrying the falling snowflakes, lightly brushing the side of Alex's face.A pinch of hair that Alex had neatly combed back, again fell across his forehead. Alex sighed and smoothed it back down. Lucia was right, Alex should have worn a spray to keep his hairstyle from changing.This afternoon, Alex received an official invitation from the system world. He was to be crowned the system's human master and the ceremony was to take place at seven o'clock.Alex told Lucia that he had to attend an important event. Lucia didn't ask many questions and asked Alex to be careful.Alex was honestly at a loss to tell Lucia about the world of systems. How he got there and participated in 100 levels of the game, how he earned a lot of money for his hard work, how he fought monsters...He felt conflicted about telling her.Alex could probably brush everything off as if nothing had happened, but he felt he had to tell Lucia. After the invitation, he knew that the knot tying him t

    This morning, Alex and Lucia were finally able to go to the doctor without a hitch.Lucia had been vomiting since she woke up, so a worried Alex didn't want to delay the examination any longer.Alex felt that his suspicions about Lucia being pregnant were correct. Lucia herself felt the same way, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. They had been hopeful since the beginning of their marriage, so Lucia didn't want to end up disappointed.They both stepped into the examination room, but suddenly, Lucia stopped walking and squeezed the cuff of her husband's shirt."Lucia, what's wrong?""I'm scared." Lucia bit her lip as she glanced into the examination room. "What if the results are disappointing?"Alex sighed and rubbed his wife's shoulders. "Honey, everything will be fine. Whatever the answer is, I'll accept it. The most important thing now is your health. We need to know what happened to you. Even if you're not pregnant, I won't be angry," Alex whispered, trying to calm Lucia

    Alex's battle axe hit the monster in the head.The axe stuck in the center, injuring both eyes of the monster which were now covered in blood.That made the monster's movements chaotic, it kept moving its tail blindly, no longer knowing where its enemy was.This was Alex's chance to leave.Alex quickly ran to his car, ignoring the pain in his hands. He circled around the monster's body and moved into the tunnel. Alex cheered inwardly, then sped up his car at high speed.In the rearview mirror, he saw the monster moving back into the tunnel, blocking the newly arrived participants with their oil-splattered cars.Alex didn't know how to describe his happiness when the finish line came into view. The spectators cheered excitedly at Alex's arrival from behind the tunnel, given that none of the participants had appeared so far."YES, THIS IS IT! FINALLY SOMEONE EMERGES FROM THE TUNNEL AFTER PASSING THE CHALLENGE AT THE RED DOT!""ALEX! GO! GO!"Alex rolled down the window and waved to his

  • Chapter 177-Facing the Monster

    Was the race attended by all the system world's inhabitants?Alex arrived at a large field filled with system humans. In the eastern part of the field, there were cars lined up with the race participants. Then at the edge of the field, there was a giant poster that read: "SYSTEM WORLD ANNUAL COMPETITION!"The three winners of the previous race were posted at the bottom of the poster. The race was said to be held every 10 years and could only be participated in by players who were in the 50s and above.That's why Alex was asked to join by his supervisor.Alex stepped closer and a system panel floating in the air instantly displayed his face."Participant number 20: Alexander Gates has arrived!" The voice echoed around the field.Alex could only raise his hand in greeting as his fans went crazy. They were all restrained behind iron fences. Even so, they excitedly continued to chant his name."ALEX! ALEX! YOU'RE THE BEST!"Alex didn't expect his fans to increase fivefold after defeating

    They peeked again and now saw Alex's interaction with the lawyer.The two seemed very close, and the man even tapped Alex on the shoulder once in a while."So... Alex hasn't been lying all this time? How could this be... I thought it was all just because of Angelo's power, but apparently..." Bastian ran out of words to explain. He dropped his backpack and rubbed his face repeatedly, almost feeling crazy.Lecia and Tonny were speechless as all the strange things that had been happening were finally solved. As if their eyes were all opened, the lawyer's arrival completely stunned them."Yes Sir, the process of accounting for all your assets will be completed in a few days. We will donate a portion of your wealth to the schools and courses where your late daughter studied."The lawyer's voice sounded closer. Tonny peeked back and apparently, he had already started walking out with Alex.They hurriedly stepped back and took a spot some distance away from the door."I'll call you when ever

    Bastian sat limply on his couch. His eyes were glued to his cell phone lying on the table."Let's call him," Vinna said with an annoyed look. She had been waiting since earlier, but Bastian hadn't done it.They were already in debt and the bank officials would be back in the afternoon. If they don't get a loan soon, their house will be seized as collateral."Come on Bastian! Are you waiting for us to get beat up by the banker's assistant?"Bastian let out a harsh sigh and finally reached for his cell phone. "Yes, yes, please be quiet. My head hurts."Vinna sighed and looked at her husband. They were already tired of being charged by the bank, so the only person who could save them was Lucia.Vinna honestly didn't want to ask Lucia for help, but what could she do? Once they were out of debt, he wouldn't want to grovel before Lucia again.Bastian puts the phone to his ear, waiting for Lucia to answer. The ticking of the clock fills the silence in the room, while Vinna waits tensely in h

He couldn't think of anything, while Lucia patiently kept encouraging him.Alex looked at the letter as well as Bianca's mini version of the Iridium necklace. He now realized what Bianca had meant.Lucia arrived with hot tea, as well a

    Towards midnight, Bianca's condition suddenly worsened. Alex, who had been waiting on one of the sofas, rushed to the bed in a panic.The doctor checked her condition quickly, while Bianca tried to pass a roll of paper to Alex.The letter she had written.More tears fell down the boy's cheeks as his chest rose and fell rapidly. Bianca seemed to be having trouble breathing, and the light in her eyes was fading."Bianca! Bianca!" Lucia anxiously cried out the child's name, her tears falling at Bianca's feet.Alex couldn't describe how he felt right now. He was terrified at the thought of what was going to happen. Cold sweat ran down his body. His legs were shaking so badly that he couldn't even stand up. He clung to the edge of the bed as Bianca tried to speak through her labored breathing."Daddy promised to... take care of his health... and you too, mommy..."Alex shook his head and tried to calm Bianca down. The child's breathing seemed to be getting weaker. Alex stood rigid with a f
