"Uncle, I really can't figure you out. Are you crazy, cunning, or a genius?" Sienna asked.

Rafael smirked. "Maybe all three. But one thing's for sure—I don’t like anyone interfering with our business."

"So... what's your plan to take over Black Wings?" Sienna asked.

"Manipulation," Rafael replied with a smile.

"Deceiving them? How?" Sienna grew even more curious.

"We’ll discuss it later at lunch with the others. Oh, by the way, is the grand opening party for the café still happening tonight?" Rafael asked.

"Yes, Elena and Dirk already went to buy lots of beer for the party," Sienna answered.

"Alright then, I'm going to take a shower first. See you at the dining table later," Rafael said before walking away.

Sienna watched him leave. "That man is completely insane! What exactly is he planning?" she muttered. "Damn it, I'm too curious—and I actually want to be part of his plan."

She descended the stairs, her mind still filled with the cunning schemes Rafael had just hinted at.

    "Rafael Elijah, starting today you're fired! Pack your things and leave," said the Sales Manager at Mauve, Elias Raymon. "I’m fired?" Rafael was stunned for a moment before continuing. "But I’ve been working well, why am I suddenly fired?" Rafael asked, genuinely shocked. "You've been embezzling company funds. Therefore, the company feels you're not worthy of working here anymore. You should consider yourself lucky that the company didn’t report you to the police," Elias said with a sarcastic tone. "Wait! Embezzling? I didn’t do anything!" Rafael denied all the accusations. "I have the evidence, Rafael. You can’t deny it anymore!" Elias said, his voice dripping with sarcasm and firmness. Rafael was a staff member in the Sales Department of Mauve. Since he started working, he had never taken a single day off for more than a year. Because he worked so hard, he initially thought that he might be able to get a promotion and a raise. Unexpectedly, today he was fired for something he

    "Do I really have to trust this system?" Rafael murmured, still uncertain in his heart. But there was no choice but to try it. He then read the system’s instructions again. The first step suggested by the system was to gather more evidence to destroy Elias's credibility at Mauve Corporation. The system displayed a mission option: “Access Elias's secret documents.” On his phone screen, a step-by-step guide appeared, including the password Elias used to access his personal account on the company device. Rafael was stunned by the detail. "Where did the system get all this?" he thought, both amazed and confused. However, he knew that the answer to that question wasn’t as important as his current goal: to regain his dignity and get revenge for the betrayal he had just experienced. With the help of the system, Rafael sneaked into his old laptop, which still had limited access to Mauve Corporation’s server. He followed the system’s instructions, and within minutes, his laptop screen wa

    "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, 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. "Hey, Miss Perfectionist, I'm trying to clean this place up

    “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

    "Uncle!" Sienna called out as she climbed up to the third floor, only to find Rafael working out in the gym, wearing only sweatpants, his upper body bare."What is it?" Rafael asked."You were looking for me. Why?" Sienna asked as she sat on one of the benches."Yeah, I have something to ask you. Just wait a moment. I'm not done yet. Sit tight and enjoy the beautiful view," Rafael said, continuing his workout."What a beautiful view! You're so skinny," Sienna teased."Hey! You perverted kid. I meant the aquarium beside you, dummy. There are fish in it—just watch them," Rafael replied."Why would I? I don’t even like colorful fish," Sienna retorted."Tsk... You really don’t understand beauty," Rafael muttered.Rafael finished his last set and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel. He walked over to Sienna and sat down on the bench across from her. "Alright, I'm done now. I want to ask you something."Sienna looked at Rafael curiously. "What is it?""You once said you were part of B

    "Martin, you're here?" Rafael greeted him as he saw the man enter their base."Yeah. You haven't gone to bed yet?" Martin asked, looking surprised."Not sleepy yet," Rafael replied. "Aren't you with Dirk?""No. Dirk went to see the suppliers," Martin answered.Rafael sat on a café chair near the barista counter. He poured a drink into a glass and handed it to Martin."Sit down for a bit," Rafael said, patting the chair beside him.Martin nodded and took the seat next to Rafael. He took the offered glass and sipped the drink. "Thanks," he murmured.The café was silent. Only the ticking of the clock and the faint rustling of the wind outside the window could be heard."You look exhausted," Rafael commented, studying Martin closely. "Is something wrong out there?"Martin let out a deep sigh, leaning back in his chair. "The survey went well. But that place is heavily guarded. Cameras everywhere. Their guards even use advanced communication devices."Rafael nodded slowly, his gaze sharp. "

    Rafael stepped out of his room upon hearing the commotion. He walked towards the cafe and was surprised to see several thugs there. The customers looked frightened, and Elena was seen arguing with them. Coincidentally, Dirk and Martin were out on an errand assigned by Rafael."What's going on?" Rafael asked as he approached Elena."They came demanding money, claiming they own this place," Elena explained."Who is he? Your boss?" one of the thugs asked arrogantly.Rafael casually put his hands in his pockets, his face remaining calm though his eyes radiated authority. "Yes, I own this place. And who are you to come here and cause trouble in my cafe?"One of the thugs stepped forward arrogantly, his broad shoulders and condescending gaze exuding dominance. "We control this area. If you want your business to run smoothly, pay us for protection," he said with a smirk.Rafael let out a soft chuckle, his eyes scanning the frightened customers. Some were already standing, ready to leave. He

    "El, wait a moment," Elena called out, stopping Rafael in his tracks. He turned to face her."Yes?" Rafael responded."I want to talk to you for a bit," Elena said."In that case, let's talk on the balcony," Rafael suggested. Elena nodded in agreement.They walked toward the balcony on the second floor and stood near the railing."This place is quite comfortable and quiet. Not too crowded or noisy," Rafael remarked.Elena gazed at the street near their shop. "Yes, at least it's a good place to hide," she replied."You're right. By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?" Rafael asked, turning to look at her."Oh, right. I wanted to ask if you're serious about your plan to establish a trade guild," Elena said. "We're fugitives, and you know NextWave's men are everywhere. We could be discovered," she continued. "And taking suppliers away from NextWave—that's going to be very difficult, right? What if those suppliers report us to them?"Rafael saw the worry and hesitation in Elen

    "So, is everyone here?" Rafael asked, looking at the people in front of him."Yes, we're all here," Elena replied."How was the café today? Still busy?" Rafael asked as he sat on a single chair right in front of them in the meeting room on the second floor."Yeah, to the point where my back feels like it's about to break," Elena complained."We might need more staff to manage the café. But we can’t just hire anyone carelessly," Rafael said."Get a chef too, Uncle. So we can eat good food," Sienna added.Rafael chuckled at Sienna’s complaint. "You, always thinking about good food, huh?"Sienna shrugged without guilt. "Well, better than eating whatever’s available every day. Besides, if the food is good, customers will want to stay longer at the café."Ivory nodded in agreement. "That’s true. Especially if we create a special menu exclusive to our café. That would be a major attraction."Rafael leaned back in his chair. "Alright, we'll look for a chef. But like I said, we can’t just hir

    Rafael was in his room, browsing the shopping feature in the system. Many new features had been unlocked after successfully completing several missions."Oh, there's a miraculous potion for rapid healing," he muttered, quickly purchasing the bottle to test its effects on his stab wound.Rafael picked up a small, dark blue bottle labeled "Rapid Healing Elixir." He frowned in curiosity as he observed the shimmering golden liquid inside."Wow, this looks like something out of a fantasy movie," he murmured while opening the bottle. A fresh, cooling scent immediately filled the air. Without hesitation, Rafael drank the potion. The taste was a mix of mint and honey, refreshing his throat.Instantly, he felt a warm sensation spreading from his stomach throughout his entire body. The pain in his shoulder gradually faded, and even the lingering soreness began to disappear. Rafael removed the bandage from his shoulder and was shocked to see that the once red and swollen stab wound had dried up,

    Rafael slowly opened his eyes. He looked around the room and realized he was in his bedroom."Ugh!" he grimaced as he tried to sit up from his reclined position."Have I been unconscious since last night?" Rafael muttered as he struggled to get up, though his shoulder still throbbed with pain.Dirk, who had just entered the room, immediately approached him."Don't move too much, Raf. Your shoulder wound hasn't fully healed yet," he said in a firm tone.Rafael smirked, though his face tensed from the pain. "Looks like I'm still alive, huh?""Lucky for you. Otherwise, Sienna might have gone to the afterlife just to hunt you down," Dirk joked, his eyes filled with relief.Rafael chuckled weakly, his laughter slightly strained. "That kid really can't stay calm."Dirk sat back in his chair. "She's stubborn but she cares about you. Elena was just as worried. You guys caused a huge mess last night, didn't you?"Rafael stared at the ceiling with a serious expression. "Yeah, but at least we go
