Lecia laughed with a booming voice, a laugh thick with sarcasm. "No mistake you said, huh? Have you lost your mind?" she almost shouted in place. Alex nodded without hesitation. "What's wrong with addressing you as my sister and brother-in-law? It's actually commendable behavior. How can I not address my own 'family'? Why do you find it shameful?" Alex deliberately emphasized the word 'family' and they all hissed in unison."Alex! You've crossed the line by doing this!" Bachdim growled angrily.Alex was completely unfazed by his anger. "Dad, what's wrong with addressing my wife's brother?""You're wrong because of your lowly status! If you weren't working as a cleaning service, we wouldn't be angry. But look at you, you're poor and not our equal." Lecia hurled her curses viciously. "You're a useless son-in-law. No one will recognize you as family.""Lucia still recognizes me," Alex muttered, staring at everyone boldly.Bachdim snorted. His anger had built up and he shoved Alex's shou
"Come, I'll prepare some warm water for you."Lucia waltzed away with Alex, while his wife's family just stood still. They stared in annoyance, but couldn't say anything to contradict Lucia's words.They had always thought that Lucia was a sweet, obedient, and gentle child, but they had forgotten that this side of her was not to be messed with. Once Lucia got angry, there was no stopping her.Bachdim let out a harsh sigh and walked away without a word. Lecia joined him in grabbing her husband's hand with her face bent, upset that what she wanted didn't happen, instead she was humiliated again."Let's go home!" Lecia stomped away, while Tonny only followed with a grunt. Everything did not go according to plan, even though Tonny really wanted to repay Alex's treatment.Bastian and Vinna were left frozen in place. They stared at Lucia and Alex's departure, then looked at each other."Huh, he's ruining the show as usual," Bastian muttered. He puts his arm around Vinna's shoulders who nods
"Don't forget to wear a thick coat when you go out," Alex said before leaving the room.This morning, he had to go alone to Bi Company. Lucia was going to an offsite meeting with her colleagues, so she wouldn't leave until eight o'clock.Alex was quite worried seeing the news about how many people had caught the flu, especially since they were drenched yesterday."Yeah, take it easy. I'll bring a scarf too," Lucia said, smiling serenely. "Be careful on the road."Alex nodded and waved her off. The house was quiet that morning. Bachdim was out, joining Bastian and Vinna at a socialite group event. As for Tonny and Lecia, Alex was sure they were preparing to go to Bi Company as well.Thinking back on it honestly made Alex upset. He regretted agreeing to their cooperation proposal, but what could he do? It was for the sake of the system panel's orders. At the very least, Alex could hold out for a month, then terminate their cooperation.Yes, he was really going to do that.How could he g
Alex waited for the command to appear, but the system panel had disappeared.That meant the task would be given later, but Alex already had to prepare today. He wondered what the task was. He had heard that Lecia and Tonny were having a celebration party tonight. Could it be related to that?Whatever it was, he had to be prepared.Alex went back to the cleaning station and started his task. He almost felt like a real cleaning service, having done this job for so long.Whenever he looked at his reflection in the mirror, then remembered the total amount of his wealth, it felt so ridiculous that this was the job he loved.He remembers Leo working as a security guard at home. On average, humans who entered the system world were required to look poor in order to outwit the enemy.They had to move subtly if they wanted revenge. The main thing was the mission of the system panel, then they had to utilize the gaps of available free time for themselves.Slowly and gently.Alex thought he just
'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE COMPLETED TASK 2 OF LEVEL 18!''PLEASE CLAIM YOUR REWARD!Alex read the notification as he took off his damp clothes. He pressed a button on the screen and $9 million dollars was deposited into his account.He had just returned from Lecia and Tonny's celebration party because Lucia was angry. They had left early after the incident with Alex tripping on the floor.That guy was doing it on purpose, she thought.Alex wanted to beat him up, but he didn't want to worry Lucia further. The girl treated the wound before going into the bathroom. Lucia's face still looked annoyed, more so at her family and the rude party guests.So, they decided to go back rather than socialize. In fact, there were a lot of Lucia's old friends who came.To be honest, Alex would also rather go home than stay at the party. All of them were not much different from Lecia and Tonny-they were equally haughty. Even the guy who deliberately stuck out his foot didn't seem to feel guilty at all
Lucia couldn't stop thinking about the possibility.But if so, what did Jasmine want?She had never seen Jasmine at this company before. She also came early in the morning, especially since the place where she appeared led to the side yard of the office where Alex was working.Lucia stayed where she was with conflicting feelings. She fully trusted Alex, but her heart kept wondering about Jasmine's coming.Maybe she could ask Alex later.Lucia tried to focus on finishing her work until lunch arrived. She then rushed downstairs to meet Alex, inviting him to have lunch with her.The elevator doors clanked open and instead of seeing Alex, Lucia saw Maria coming out of another elevator on the right side.Lucia stared at her for a moment, then looked away. She didn't like that woman.Maria had proven to be a tyrant for her own pleasure. Lucia still remembered her sharp, insulting words when Alex gave her the expensive jewelry.Maria's eyes seemed to move over the gold Lucia was wearing. Her
Name: Alexander GatesLevel: 19 (19/100)Powers: GoldHealth: Very GoodCoin Power: UnlimitedWeapon System: VR, Golden Sword, Rifle, Boomerang, Missile.Total Wealth: $ InfinityAlex looked at the list of weapons he had. He didn't know the form or power of the mutant yet, so he could only guess for now.They said it was a research mutant that managed to escape, so does that mean his mutant state isn't perfect?Alex just wanted to be prepared, considering the previous incident when he fought the virus ended poorly. Although he won in the end, the risk was high.There was only one mutant, which meant a one-on-one duel. I don't know what it looks like, but it's much better than being ganged up on like the previous virus.But what if it was much different in size from him?Alex sighed and pondered. Well, he had already successfully fought a deadly giant monster, so he had to be confident that he could defeat another one.Alex changed his clothes and went to the kitchen for dinner. Lucia
"ARGGHH!"Alex backed away quickly, his eyes involuntarily closing as he swung his sword. Alex wasn't hit by the mutant, but he spontaneously screamed in surprise.He still wasn't used to his creepy appearance.When he opened his eyes again, he blinked to adjust his vision. She glanced around, but the mutant had already disappeared from her sight. He scanned his surroundings quickly, but there was nothing to be seen but scrap metal.Where had the mutant gone?Alex jumped down and stared in alarm. He searched every pile or crevice in sight, but the mutant was completely gone. Alex had only closed his eyes for about 10 seconds."Oh my. Why did it disappear so quickly?" he muttered in frustration. He rubbed his face in frustration and let out a long sigh.Standing still for a moment, Alex was at a loss for where to go. He had to find the mutant. Alex intended to complete his mission tonight.What now?The thought of returning home came to mind, but it felt like that would only make Alex
