"What is this?"

"I don't know, sir. I found it at the front of the office and it says on the box that I have to give it to you," Alex said while putting on an innocent face as if he didn't know anything.

Arnold gave him a puzzled look as he flipped through the official brown folder in his hands.

"It says it's related to Mr. Gerry Onard, sir," Alex muttered, continuing his lie smoothly.

He intended to make Arnold see for himself all of Gerry's bad behavior through the file he had printed out. He was confident that Arnold would not ignore what he saw of Gerry.

Arnold looked hesitant, but then slowly opened the folder. He pulled out five files at once, and quickly scanned the information on the papers.

Alex smiled inwardly as he saw Arnold's face change. Between disappointment and anger, he let out a long sigh.

The files contained Gerry's aberrant behavior during his time as interim leader of his father's company. His behavior wasn't published in a big way for the public to know, but th

    This morning was quiet. A light drizzle fell and the scent of petrikor filled Alex's nostrils. He opened his bedroom window wider and the wind felt cool caressing his face and body.Wearing only a thin t-shirt and boxer briefs made Alex shudder slightly from the cold, but he was reluctant to move from his spot. It was rare that Alex could enjoy a morning like this.Weekend. Well, he didn't go to work today. So, he would spend his time with his daughter until the system panel gave him a new task.The level has risen to level 11. The guess is, there will be another battle or duel with his enemy using the golden sword. Although nerve-wracking, the battle was actually quite energizing for Alex.He was much more energized now.It was funny to remember how gloomy he was after his company went bankrupt. Everyone insulted him, especially the Sans. But what stuck with him the most was his own wife's insults and how she cheated on him.Not that Alex still wished for her. He was happy to see he

    Oh God!Alex dodged quickly, luckily his reflexes were quite agile that second. He managed to avoid the slash of his enemy's sword and made him end up slamming into the hard concrete floor. Alex groaned and got up quickly. His enemy wasted no time in attacking again. Alex held him off with all his might, their swords rubbing so hard that sparks flew out of them.Alex took a step back and swung his sword at his enemy's head, but at the last second, he deflected the blade. His enemy groaned in pain as he managed to cut the side of his neck that wasn't protected by anything."Damn it!" His enemy cursed angrily.Alex's eyes opened wide at the sound. Not because of the swearing, but the voice.Wait a minute ....Alex frowned. Why was her voice a female voice? Don't tell me this enemy is a girl?They both stepped back and locked gazes with each other. His enemy's blue eyes somehow looked familiar. Alex then took a good look at his enemy's appearance.His outfit was the same as the enemies

    The liquid that flowed down Alex's throat was thick, yet refreshing at the same time. He ordered the most expensive drink here, just to satisfy his curiosity.It didn't taste any better than mineral water, but there was a distinct sensation that made it addictive. The effect wasn't too strong either, so Alex could drink several glasses without fear of losing control. It would be very risky if he lost control when the command from the panel system appeared. Since the previous battle hadn't finished yet, he was afraid that the enemy would suddenly appear and cut off his head easily.Like the previous incident, he wasn't even ready when the woman drew her sword.Sonia, he thought. He wished he could see her again to confirm that his vision was not wrong.Alex sighed and leaned his head back against the sofa. As the night wore on, more and more visitors arrived. Some people were seen jostling at the bar tables while shouting at the bartender. Hearing-deafening music played non-stop and p

    Alex approached with a palpitating feeling. Not because he was in love, but because he was afraid that his guess was right and he wouldn't be able to believe his own vision.It couldn't be Sonia behind the green mask, could it? Sonia looked like a woman who couldn't hurt an ant, but then again, maybe that was just her outer mask?He had to make sure now.Alex spun around to Sonia's side and brought some of the woman's hair to the side, so she could get a good look at her neck and shoulders.Alex pretended to pick something up when his eyes widened at the long scratches on the woman's neck. His gaze shifted to Sonia's shoulder and he felt as if his eyeballs were about to jump out in shock. There was a bruise there. Just like a wound from being hit by a hard object.So it was true.Sonia really was his enemy in this first task.I couldn't believe it.The two wounds on display could not be considered a coincidence anymore. Moreover, the other features were also one hundred percent the s

    "Bianca, what do you want, honey?" Alex asked gently to his daughter who was playing on the swing.Alex sat on the picnic blanket, assembling the sandwiches that Bianca's nanny had prepared. The sun was shining brightly this afternoon, but under the dense branches of the Yew tree that formed a canopy, he and Bianca could enjoy some alone time in the backyard.So, Alex didn't have any chores today.When he woke up in the morning at six o'clock with a refreshed body, he anticipated a task from the panel system. Alex took a quick shower and didn't even have time to wash his hair, but unexpectedly, there was no notification from the panel system.Alex ended up having breakfast and playing with Bianca all morning.Then, just before lunch, he again waited for the notification from the panel system while changing his clothes into something efficient. But unexpectedly, it was his supervisor's voice that came up with such a shocking notification.Alex did not have any tasks for today.He was f

    Alex and Bianca circled the toy store for four hours. Alex doesn't really like shopping, but for Bianca's sake, he enjoyed every moment. After all, this was quality time he had with his daughter. In the future, he doesn't know if he will have the same kind of free time-a full day without work. Moreover, Bi's company was already on a global level and he needed to supervise more because Missi could not possibly handle everything alone.Alex couldn't rely on anyone else. Right now, Missi was the only one he trusted. So, he wouldn't hire anyone to take care of his company's internal matters, even if that person was competent and shouted that he could be trusted.After his unexpected fight with Sonia, he was even more convinced that anyone could wear a mask and be someone else. The case had nothing to do with Sans' family who were initially so kind to him, as he owned a large company inherited from his parents.His wife flattered him every day, and then he went bankrupt.The Sans family's

    Alex stepped into X.yom's company, having seen Gerry disappear in the doorway that led to the owner's main room.Missi had agreed to come early and bring the files that had been prepared. Alex had been talking about the plan in his head. They would invest in X.yom's company and humiliate Gerry Onard.As Alex had guessed earlier, Gerry had wanted to come up with a new proposal. He knew full well that Arnold wasn't an easy man to conquer, so he must have been trying to gain the man's trust in order to launch his foul idea: control of the X.yom company.The Onard family already had many valuable assets and a thriving company, but X.yom was an old company that every generation was interested in.The guarantee that the company would continue to operate for the next ten or twenty years was a lucrative asset in the eyes of businessmen.The Onard family itself had never tried to work with the X.yom company, except for Gerry who somehow thought of taking over the X.yom company.The head of the

    By five o'clock in the afternoon, Alex rushed back to his house. It wasn't really time to leave the office, but Alex's work was done and there was nothing else for him to do. Tommy always said that he could go home when everything was done.Alex was curious about the rifle he had gotten. He wanted to take good care of it at home, because he couldn't focus if he stayed at X.yom's office.Alex took the time to stop at a restaurant to buy dinner. He and Bianca had always eaten healthy home-cooked meals, but Bianca was in the mood for some barbecued ribs with peanut sauce.Alex got out of the bus and walked to his palatial home. He intended to move to a more strategic area, since his ex-wife knew his address. He didn't want her to come back and disturb his life with his daughter. He apology was not sincere, he just wanted his money."Daddy!" Bianca's shrill voice rang out as soon as Alex stepped through the door. The child ran to him, then rushed into his arms. "What did you bring?" she a

    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

  • Chapter 178-Amazing Prize!

    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

    'You're the best dad.You bought me dolls, and pretty houses, and princess clothes, and all the things I wanted.Anyway, Daddy is the best daddy in the world.I love you, Bianca. I want you to be happy. Mommy Lucia and you should live happily.When I'm gone, don't throw all my clothes away. You have to keep them and my dolls and things.I love you. Please don't cry when I'm gone. Dad, don't be sad and keep smiling.I love you.This letter is especially for you. I love you forever.Love from Bianca:Alexander Gates' beloved daughter.This was the 100th time Alex opened the letter and read it again for the umpteenth time.Two weeks had passed since Bianca's death, but Alex's heart was still filled with sadness.Alex just stayed at home without doing much. 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
