While waiting for the calculation results of all losses, Kalix heard the system speaking in his mind about the mission."Pay attention; the mission will appear in your mind shortly."Kalix furrowed his brow upon hearing this; of course, he couldn't show his emotions on his face, so he spoke to the system with a hint of annoyance."Are you serious? My business here is done, and I'm about to leave. Why does a new mission pop up now, huh?"The system heard Kalix's complaint in his tone but coldly vanished and chose to hide.Kalix could only sigh deeply and accept his fate.Shortly after, the system released the mission.[New Mission! Make Julie Dominic have an impression on the host!]Kalix stared at the name displayed in his mind with complexity. He remembered that name very clearly. Julie Dominic, Mason's current wife and the woman who indirectly killed his mother in a previous life. The woman he hated the most in two lifetimes.Even if Jane betrayed and deceived him for years, the hat
Such good acting! Kalix thought as he witnessed Julie’s skills.Truly a woman who can do anything for her dignity and reputation. Julie didn’t show the slightest negligence in the way she spoke to Kalix.If not for his past life experiences, Kalix would surely have fallen into this woman’s deceit again.He remembers when they met in a previous life, Julie approached him in the same manner, polite and friendly. She acted like a mother, slowly extracting information from him and planning to kill his mother, drive him out of the capital, ruin his business, and reputation.This woman didn’t care whether her actions could affect others’ lives or not, whether the consequences of her games could kill someone, cause despair, and so on. All she knew was that her reputation remained intact, and her self-worth stayed high in the eyes of many.Kalix despised her greatly, it was almost reflected in his eyes. If not warned by the system, Kalix might have rushed at Julie and choked her to death.Shi
In the evening, Carl visited the Kalix class. As the students in the class dispersed one by one, Carl approached Kalix and warmly embraced his shoulders. He laughed joyfully and said, “I didn’t expect you to be beaten by that old professor.” Feeling the embrace on his shoulders, Kalix turned to the side and looked at Carl with a flat expression. However, with just that look, Carl’s cheerful laughter came to a halt. He cleverly withdrew, taking a step back from Kalix’s side. With awkward laughter, he said, “Haha, I was just kidding.” Ignoring him, Kalix took a step forward. Although slightly dissatisfied, Carl followed him and spoke. “Do you know there’s a team meeting today?” “Mm,” Kalix replied shortly, not even bothering to give Carl a glance. “Do you know where it is?” Kalix shook his head honestly and said, “That’s why I need your help to take me there. Please.” Upon hearing this plea for help, Carl felt a sense of superiority in his heart. However, thinking of Kalix’s flat
Despite Kalix saying so, in reality, he had no interest in fighting today. However, if the other party desired it, he wouldn’t stop Carl and might even assist him a bit. The hypocrite Bernard intervened, “Don’t fight.” He stood by his friends and apologized on their behalf. Only now did Kalix fully shift his attention to Bernard, his gaze no longer indifferent but investigative.Despite Bernard’s gentle and polite appearance, Kalix knew he wasn’t as simple as he seemed. Considering Bernard’s close friendship with Jaxson, it was clear they both had duplicity in common. Kalix spoke to Bernard, “If your two friends apologize for their harsh words, this issue will be resolved.”“What did you say?! Apologize? Clearly, it’s this girl who’s at fault!” one of the two who spoke harshly retorted. Kalix, focusing on the speaker, didn’t hide the aggression in his eyes. “Don’t want to apologize?” Kalix asked coldly.Not only did the two feel Kalix’s strong aura, but Carl and his friends did too.
Carl’s group consisted of only 5 members, with the addition of Kalix, making a total of 6. However, it was lively and cheerful as everyone had close relationships. Outside campus activities, seniority was forgotten, but it didn’t mean they were completely impolite.“Hey, tomorrow’s a holiday, so we all have to drink until we’re drunk!” Carl enthusiastically banged the table. He poured a glass of beer for himself, then asked others to pour in their glasses too.“I don’t drink,” said Iann.The senior next to him immediately put his arm around his shoulder. “You have to drink too! Look, Kyle is drinking too!”“Yeah, let’s drink, drink!”Feeling their enthusiasm, Kalix followed suit, drinking and talking. There were jokes and laughter among everyone. Although Kalix didn’t speak much, he listened seriously while continuously drinking, only occasionally responding when needed.The atmosphere unconsciously led everyone to drink a lot, and no one remained sober. The only difference was the se
When Kalix woke up the next morning, he found his phone lying on the side of his pillow, turned off due to a lack of battery. As he went about his morning activities, he recalled what had happened. Kalix was the kind of person who seemed calm when drunk and remained rational, but when alone, he became very emotional and easily offended. Even small things could affect his emotions. That’s why he avoided getting drunk, but last night was an accident. Previously, he had never experienced a laid-back evening with friends at university. His life had been too challenging, almost devoid of any peace, so he didn’t have close friends during his college days. “Did I do something weird when I was drunk?” Kalix asked the system. No answer. He thought the system was busy, so he didn’t force an answer. Quietly recalling what happened, some conversations flashed in his mind. Kalix rubbed his sore head from last night’s drinking, it was challenging for him to concentrate now.
As the luxurious and expensive car approached them, Kalix seemed utterly indifferent. After all, he didn’t feel any connection with the owner of the car. His sole purpose for going out today was to visit the pet shop and accompany Eugene.However, in his mind, the system said, “That car is here to pick you up.”Certainly, this surprised Kalix. He inquired the system about the identity of the person and the purpose of their visit.Before the system could respond, the car had already stopped in front of them, blocking Jaxson’s car’s way. Seeing this, Jaxson, who was in a hurry, felt angry. He got out of the car to scold the car’s user but heard words he didn’t expect.He came here only to meet his younger brother as per his mother’s request, he didn’t even anticipate encountering Kalix. However, due to the recent incident at the restaurant, Jaxson wasn’t too surprised that Kalix could afford to stay in this expensive apartment.Unexpectedly, he faced an even more shocking scene.W
Kalix stared at the man with confusion. He knew, of course, that the person before him wasn’t Loric Mananov, the current head of the Mananov family. This fact didn’t surprise him, but he was slightly taken aback by who the person actually was.Snyder Mananov, the fifth son of Loric Mananov, infamous for being useless and playful. Kalix didn’t expect that he would be the one inviting him. It’s not that he disliked Snyder, but it was somewhat unexpected.“It seems you recognize me,” the voice sounded moments after Snyder realized Kalix’s presence. Snyder had concealed his earlier stern demeanor, and his current expression appeared quite casual with his usual mischievous smile.As a 29-year-old man, Kalix certainly understood the man’s intention in displaying firmness initially and then swiftly changing it. This man was two-faced as well, wasn’t he?Kalix entered without hesitation and sat in front of Snyder. His demeanor didn’t show any hesitation, as if he came to meet a friend rather
