"Next step: Use the funds to establish a company or strengthen your position in the business world. Choose ‘Establish Company’ or ‘Strengthen Position’ to proceed."
Rafael paused for a moment. Establishing a company would give him power and influence, while strengthening his position would provide quicker access to crucial information. But after everything he had gone through, Rafael knew exactly what to do.
“Establish a company,” Rafael answered with firm determination.
Suddenly, his phone screen displayed detailed steps to establish a company from scratch. The system guided him on how to choose a business sector, select a location, and suggested company names that would lay the foundation for his new life and revenge.
With this enormous funding, Rafael knew his future was now in his hands. He was no longer a victim; he was now the main player who could change his own destiny with the help of the system.
"This is just the beginning," he muttered, a confident smile forming on his face.
“Okay, let’s think about it. Which business has the greatest potential? Does the system have any recommendations?” he murmured, staring at the screen in front of him.
The system presented several options on Rafael’s phone screen: Technology and Innovation (AI, Big Data, and Cybersecurity), Real Estate and Property Development, Investment in Natural Resources and Renewable Energy, Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industry, and E-Commerce and Global Logistics.
Rafael pondered for a moment, weighing each option. Each offered great profit potential, but he also knew that to succeed, he had to choose wisely. Given what had just happened to him, a business that could give him full control over information and resources seemed very appealing.
“Technology and Innovation… That’s it,” Rafael muttered, nodding to himself. "The world is moving towards digital. Artificial intelligence, big data, and cybersecurity... This will be a great future. I can start from here and grow rapidly."
The system immediately displayed further details about opportunities in technology and innovation, including emerging startups, potential partners, and ways to access cutting-edge technologies. Rafael felt confident this was the right move.
He opened his phone screen wider, scanning every detail provided by the system. Within seconds, he obtained complete information about several rapidly growing tech startups. There were opportunities to invest in AI, big data processing, and cybersecurity solutions that were in high demand by major companies. All of this seemed very enticing.
"This is it. Everything I need to build a digital empire," Rafael thought, his eyes glowing with ambition.
The system gave additional instructions:
“Find strategic partners. Several big names are involved in this field. Choose a partner who has the vision and resources to support rapid expansion.”
Rafael quickly noted down a few big names that could be potential partners. These weren’t just any companies, but major firms at the forefront of technological development. However, Rafael knew that to build relationships with them, he needed to prove that he was not just a small player.
“To play at their level, I have to be smarter and faster than them,” Rafael muttered with determination.
The system suggested he contact several experienced investors in the tech world, including venture capitalists who could assist with funding and secure the company’s position in the market. Rafael knew this was a crucial first step.
“Alright, I’ll build this. In no time, they’ll know who I am.”
With a clear plan in mind, Rafael began his search. Every decision he made was now based on one goal—not just to gain wealth, but to bring down those who had wronged him.
Ding!!!
Rafael was startled by the sound of a notification on his phone. A new message appeared on the screen:
"Special Mission: Find someone trustworthy to start the business."
He grinned, realizing that although he could do many things on his own, he couldn’t manage every aspect of this large business by himself. He needed someone he could trust, someone with exceptional abilities and a vision that aligned with his own.
"Who can I trust?" he murmured, thinking. Faces of a few people appeared in his mind, but Rafael knew that building a solid team was not an easy task.
The system added more instructions:
“Check people with backgrounds in technology, management, or finance. Conduct a thorough analysis to determine who can work with full loyalty.”
Rafael began digging deeper. In the tech world, he knew there were some professionals with great reputations who often played a vital role in the success of a company. However, it wasn’t just intelligence that was needed, but also integrity and a strong commitment to the vision he had.
“Who can understand my ambition and be willing to take risks?” Rafael thought hard.
The first person that came to mind was Dirk, a former colleague who was smart, experienced in managing large projects, and had a steady character. Dirk could be the right person. But, Rafael needed to ensure whether Dirk could be fully trusted.
“Alright, I’ll find out more about Dirk,” Rafael decided, continuing his search for the right person.
With the system’s help, he quickly gathered complete information about Dirk and several other professionals, ensuring he chose someone who was not only competent but also loyal to the grand vision he was building.
Rafael opened the system app on his phone and accessed the file about Dirk. His full name, work experience, and references in the profile showed that Dirk was a professional experienced in leading large projects. However, Rafael knew that technical skills alone weren’t enough. He needed to ensure that Dirk had the integrity required to collaborate on a high-risk project like the one he wanted to build.
The system immediately gave the option to look deeper into Dirk’s personal life, including social records and business relationships he had formed. Rafael hesitated for a moment but then decided to proceed. He needed to know everything to choose a partner he could truly trust.
After some time, Rafael found some interesting information: Dirk had a clean reputation, not involved in scandals or questionable actions. However, he had just ended a partnership with a large company, which might indicate a vision mismatch or other reasons that needed further exploration.
“But this doesn’t sound like bad signs,” Rafael thought, “He had the courage to choose his own path, and that could be a good thing.”
The system reminded Rafael:
“To ensure further compatibility, conduct a small test. Assign a project or task that can reveal his thinking process and commitment to the goal.”
Rafael nodded, feeling more confident about the next step. He decided to contact Dirk, offering a small yet challenging project that would test his integrity and management skills.
“Alright, let’s start by contacting Dirk. If he can handle this, he might really be the right person to join me in building this company,” Rafael thought as he tried reaching out to Dirk.

"Okay, Jagur. This time, you need to cooperate with me. If I succeed, I won't ditch you; instead, I'll modify you really well, so don't be fussy anymore," Rafael said, patting the hood of his old car."Alright, I need to meet Dirk." Rafael climbed into his car and tried to start it, but it didn’t start right away."Come on, Jagur. Start," Rafael mumbled, trying again. Still, the engine didn’t turn on."Don't sulk now. This time, I’m counting on you, handsome Jagur," he said, attempting to start the car again. This time, the engine roared to life."Ha... you're only starting because I praised you. Stubborn old Jagur," Rafael grumbled, and as if understanding, the car stalled again."Geez, you're really sulking. Jagur, come on," Rafael sighed, frustrated with the behavior of his car that had been with him for years."Geez, you're acting like a Gen Z kid, sulking over the smallest thing," he muttered as he got out of the car."Alright, let's see what’s causing you to sulk."Rafael opened

He quickly pulled open the car door, although it was a bit heavy. The woman inside stared at him with a mix of fear and hope."Get out now! I'm here to help!" Rafael shouted as he extended his hand.The woman, though hesitant, immediately grabbed Rafael's hand and got out of the car. However, one of the criminals had recovered from the shock and started chasing them.Rafael grabbed a weapon lying on the road and immediately pointed it at the man."Let her go! Stay out of our business!" said one of the criminals, also aiming his weapon at Rafael."I wish I could, but the system forbids it," Rafael replied, still walking away with the woman behind him."System?" The man frowned."What system?""This one!" Rafael picked up a bottle cap from the asphalt that he had thrown earlier and hurled it at the man, hitting his head."Come on, hurry to my car!" Rafael urgently pulled the woman toward the Jagur, hoping the old car would cooperate this time.As they neared the car, gunshots echoed in

"For now, you're safe here," Rafael said as he opened the door to the house.Elena looked around the dusty, small room. "Aren't you sure? This house is small and dirty," Elena complained, pinching her nose because of the dust. "This place is safe. Far from the city's hustle and bustle, you won't be caught here," Rafael replied as he pulled the white cloth off a chair. "Whose house is this?" Elena asked. "My grandmother's house. It's been empty for a long time," he answered casually. "I don’t want to stay here!" Elena quickly refused. Rafael stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Elena. "Sure, go ahead. Anyway, I'm just helping you. It's not like I have anything to do with the problem you're facing," Rafael said casually, giving her a flat look. "If you want, you can rent an apartment or a hotel, your choice." Elena sighed. "This place is so dirty, Rafael. How could I stay here?" she complained.

“Elena,” Rafael finally called.Elena turned to him. “What?”“I’m going to trust you for now. But if I find out you’re playing me, I won’t hesitate to take the necessary steps.”Elena gave a small smile. “Trust me, Rafael. I don’t have many choices either. We’ll only survive if we help each other.”Rafael nodded. “Alright. Then, can I know what your next plan is?”Elena sighed briefly and looked at Rafael seriously. “My plan is simple, but dangerous,” she said.“First, I need to make sure the data I have stays safe. If it falls into their hands, everything will be ruined. I need time to crack the additional code in this file. I’m sure there’s bigger information they’re hiding.”Rafael frowned. “Bigger information? What do you mean?”Elena nodded. “Yes, this document isn’t just about corruption or embezzlement. I suspect there’s a larger network behind the company, maybe something involving illegal trade or other criminal activities. If we can uncover everything, we can destroy them co

"But I need to talk to you, Dirk," Rafael insisted."I've already told you. I don't have time!" Dirk snapped coldly.Rafael was undeterred by Dirk's frosty demeanor. He knew that to get information from someone like Dirk, he had to be more persuasive. Rafael pulled out a chair and sat down across from Dirk without an invitation."I'm not here to talk about the past, Dirk. I'm here because there's something bigger we need to deal with. Something you might really like," Rafael said firmly.Dirk stared at him for a long time, as if evaluating whether Rafael was serious or just looking for trouble. He leaned back in his chair and sighed."Oh, something I would like? What is it?" Dirk asked, intrigued by what Rafael might offer."I'm planning to start a digital company. And I'm hoping you'll help me and work with me," Rafael replied."Oh, start a company? What will I get out of it?" Dirk asked, giving Rafael a condescending look.Rafael didn’t flinch at Dirk’s dismissive gaze. He knew that

Knock! Knock! Knock!Upon hearing the knocking sound, Elena peeked through the window, holding a bat in her hand. When she realized it was Rafael, she quickly opened the bedroom door, allowing him to enter while supporting an unconscious and seriously injured man.“Who is he? Did you hit someone?” Elena asked in surprise.“Tsk... Don’t be quick to judge. I found him in the middle of the road. Help me lay him down quickly,” Rafael said.Elena immediately straightened the sofa and placed a pillow at the end. Rafael gently laid the man on the sofa and sighed heavily.“Ugh, he’s heavy,” he complained as he sat on the single sofa.“He’s seriously injured. What really happened, Rafael?” Elena asked, looking at him.“I don’t know… I found him lying on the road. He asked for my help but forbade me from taking him to the hospital,” Rafael answered.“Do you have anything, like a first aid kit?” Elena asked.“I think I have one in the car. Wait here,” Rafael said, standing up and heading outside

"I need to ask the system," Rafael muttered.Rafael quickly grabbed his phone and activated the smart system he relied on. He pointed the phone's camera at the unconscious man in front of him, hoping the system could identify him. After a few seconds of scanning, the phone screen displayed surprising information.The man's name was Leonard Steele, a director and owner of a company on the brink of bankruptcy. Rafael read the details carefully. Leonard's company had previously been involved in technology, but due to fierce competition and poor management, the business was near collapse. However, something caught Rafael’s attention—Leonard had a reputation as a highly intelligent man with extensive knowledge in technology and business.Rafael paused in thought. This might not just be a coincidence. Leonard could be a valuable asset if Rafael could handle the situation wisely. With Leonard's experience and intelligence, Rafael believed the man could help him achieve his dream of establish

"Yah, seperti yang diharapkan, kalian kembali," kata seseorang.Rafael dan timnya terkejut ketika beberapa pria berpakaian hitam muncul dari tempat persembunyian mereka. Ada sekitar lima belas dari mereka, masing-masing membawa senjata."Kami telah mencarimu di mana-mana. Untungnya, Anda masuk ke dalam perangkap kami, Leonard, Elena," kata seorang pria kekar bernama Augus.Sosok lain melangkah maju di antara mereka. "Baiklah, baiklah, lihat siapa yang kita miliki di sini. Lama tidak bertemu, Rafael," sapa seorang pria—tidak lain adalah Elias."Kamu mengenalnya?" Augus bertanya."Tentu saja. Mantan karyawan Mauve yang mencuri uang," Elias terkekeh."Kamu memfitnahku,!" Rafael membentak."Fitnah? Ayo, Rafael, semua bukti menunjuk padamu," Elias tertawa."Wow, semua penjahat dari NextWave ada di sini. Seorang penjiplak, pencuri data, dan penggelap. Mengesankan!" Augus tertawa mengejek. "Sepertinya kita harus menyeret mereka ke Matteo.""Ya, kamu benar. Tunggu apalagi? Serang dan tangkap

"So, you're still going alone?" Elena asked, stopping Rafael, who was already prepared with his gear to return to the abandoned NextWave buildings. He planned to finally complete his postponed mission."Yes. I have to go and find information or evidence. For some reason, I feel like this will lead me to something more valuable," Rafael said."But, El, it's dangerous for you to go alone," Elena protested."I don't want to involve anyone, Len. It would only put you all in danger. Let me handle this on my own," Rafael replied firmly."Going where?" The question made Rafael turn to the source of the voice—Dirk had appeared with Martin and Leonard."You're heading out, El? This late at night?" Leonard asked, eyeing Rafael’s gear."Yes. I need to go to the abandoned NextWave building to look for evidence. And who knows? I might find something that could help our business," Rafael explained.Rafael was certain that the system had led him to this mission for a reason. There had to be a clear

"So, how's it going? Have you set up the security system?" Rafael asked, approaching Sienna, who was focused on her laptop."All done. The security system I built won’t be easy for anyone to hack or break into," Sienna said with pride."Really? I'm curious—what if someone does manage to hack it?" Rafael asked, crossing his arms.Sienna smirked confidently, her eyes never leaving the laptop screen. "If anyone dares to hack this system, they'll be trapped in a digital maze I created. Every wrong move will lock them in deeper until they can’t escape."Rafael raised an eyebrow. "A digital maze? Sounds impressive, but what if they're smarter than you think?"Sienna’s fingers flew across the keyboard, pulling up a visual animation filled with moving lines and codes on the screen. "I've already anticipated that. This system isn’t just defensive—it’s offensive too. If someone tries to break in, I can track them down and hit their weak points."Rafael smirked in satisfaction.

In a narrow alley, a girl wearing loose jeans and an unbuttoned men's shirt, revealing a black t-shirt underneath, ran swiftly. A white cap, worn backward, sat snugly on her head. Sweat dripped from her temples, trailing down her neck and soaking her entire body as she sprinted forward."Hey, thief! Stop!" shouted three large men chasing after her."Ugh, damn it! How long are they going to keep chasing me? This is such a hassle," she muttered.That girl was Sienna, a hacker wanted by Rafael."Stop right there, you little brat!" one of them yelled.Sienna quickened her pace, her breath coming in sharp gasps, but her sharp eyes scanned the alley for any possible escape route. Her footsteps echoed loudly in the narrow passage."Hey! Don't run! Do you think you can escape from us?!" one of the burly men shouted in frustration."Just watch me!" Sienna retorted mockingly, agilely leaping over a pile of cardboard boxes and scrap metal.Without stopping, she made a sharp turn into a narrow al

"So, you failed again to capture Leonard and his sister?" asked a man with a fierce expression, a scar visible on his temple.His name was Matteo, one of the trusted figures in NextWave and the superior of Elias."Forgive us, Boss. Leonard was assisted by several people, and they were armed," reported one of his subordinates."You outnumbered them. And you had weapons too! That’s no excuse. You just failed to do your job properly!" Matteo snapped.Matteo stood with a gaze filled with fury, his jaw clenched tightly as he listened to the report of his subordinates' failure. The scar on his temple only added to the menacing aura of his cold, ruthless face."We really did our best, Boss," Elias attempted to defend himself, his voice strained. "But they were highly organized. There was a man leading them—he seemed to have military experience.""And you think I care about that excuse?" Matteo slammed his fist onto the wooden table in front of him, the cracking sound echoing loudly. "NextWav

"This is everything you need to start working. A phone for communication and a laptop to access Leonard's program," Rafael said after everyone had finished arranging a few desks to begin their work."And since we don't have a separate place to stay, the third floor will be used as our living quarters. The women will share rooms in pairs, and the men will do the same," Rafael explained."If we're using the second floor as our workspace, then what about the first floor?" Dirk asked."A camouflage or distraction. I'm going to set up a small restaurant downstairs so no one will suspect what we're actually working on here," Rafael replied, now sitting in a chair between their desks."I plan to establish a company that will become a rival to NextWave in the future. We all have a grudge against that company, and here, we will work together to make our company a formidable opponent for NextWave," Rafael declared with determination."Are you sure you can make this company as big as NextWave?"

"They're chasing us," Leonard said, glancing behind.Dirk tried to fire shots through the window, assisted by Martin from the other side in the back seat."They really won’t give up," Rafael muttered, focused on driving."What did you expect? NextWave doesn’t mess around," Leonard replied, firing another shot."Martin, cover the left side!" Dirk commanded.Martin nodded, firing at the enemy car attempting to cut them off. "Damn, they’re like an action movie. When will they run out of people?"Elena, sitting beside Martin, had a serious expression. "We need a better plan than just running like this."Rafael smirked. "I have an idea. Hold on tight."He jerked the wheel to the right, entering a narrow road filled with sharp turns. The tires screeched loudly against the asphalt."El, what the hell are you doing?" Dirk shouted in panic."Taking them to a field where I have the advantage," Rafael said calmly."Damn it! My body is getting crushed back here," Elena groaned as she held Ivory i

“El, so what about that building? Are you still planning to rent it?” Elena asked, approaching Rafael, who was in the kitchen, sipping his drink from a glass.“No,” Rafael answered firmly. “If we rent that place, we’ll be controlled and monitored by NextWave. But we need to get back into that building,” he stated.Elena was startled. “Again? But why? We almost got caught last night,” she protested.“There’s still something I need to retrieve from there, Len. You don’t have to come. I’ll go alone,” Rafael replied.“No, El. It’ll be too dangerous if you go alone,” Elena said firmly.Rafael narrowed his eyes at Elena, staring at her intensely. “Why? Are you worried about me? Ah, don’t tell me you like me?” he teased.“Ugh, don’t be so full of yourself!” Elena shot back. “You’re not my type, you know!”Rafael chuckled, enjoying Elena’s defensive reaction. “If I’m not your type, then why are you so involved in my business?” he taunted, setting his empty glass on the kitchen counter.Elena

Rafael still hadn't received any notification from the system indicating that his hidden mission was successful. Even though he had already gone to and entered the building, there was still no confirmation. The man stood in his room, drawing on the whiteboard, mapping out yesterday's hidden mission."Could it be that I missed something? There’s still time, but the system hasn’t confirmed the mission’s completion. What exactly does the system want from that building?" Rafael muttered, deep in thought.Rafael stood in front of the whiteboard filled with scribbles and diagrams of his deductions. His sharp eyes scanned every detail he had pieced together based on the hidden mission in the warehouse. Yet, something still felt off."Could there be another hidden room that wasn’t detected?" he murmured, tapping a marker against the board.He wrote down the key points:Illegal documents found? ✔Physical evidence? ✘Underground area explored? ✔Additional clues from the system? ✘Frowning, Ra
