"Yes, I will filter them and convey it as you said," Tommy replied, feeling a bit powerless, but deep down, he nurtured a bit of confidence in Kalix's abilities.Seeing his demeanor, Kalix nodded in satisfaction. "The same goes for you. If you're reluctant to be a subordinate, you can resign."Tommy immediately shook his head and hastily responded, "No, no. I will continue to work here, be your subordinate."The man in his forties lowered his head. His aspiration was to create the most famous and successful game studio. Although he couldn't achieve it, he didn't want his efforts to be in vain.

Revenge of the Abandoned Son 68. Recruitment
The ‘stealing’ accusation gradually spread to other forums and became a hot topic. It even started appearing in unrelated gaming forums. Gossip accounts and information in Oakville began highlighting the issue. Kalix didn’t show frustration, influencing his colleagues. Instead of dwelling on the problem, they focused on other improvements. Meanwhile, Kalix brought Tommy to discuss the matter after leaving him for a day. “What’s your take on this issue?” Kalix asked, not looking at Tommy but tinkering with his laptop. Tommy sighed and answered, “I suspect the ones making those hammer statements are my former colleagues.” “Yes, indeed,” Kalix said calmly, as if mentioning his breakfast menu. Having worked with Kalix for over a month, Tommy understood the young man’s demeanor. Despite his youthful age and handsome, seemingly pampered face, he was firm. In decision-making and planning, everything was done decisively and accurately. That’s why Tommy slowly let go of his reservations
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 69. New Employees
State-of-the-Art has officially moved to a new, larger, and more comfortable building. The shop they now occupy has 5 floors, surrounded by small companies from various fields. The environment is comfortable and, certainly, secure due to strict surveillance by security guards before entering the shop area. Kalix has also considered recruiting some security guards specifically for the company. Tommy knocks on Kalix’s office door, and upon receiving the command to enter, he finally opens the door and steps in. “Boss, this is the list of job applicants who have passed for tomorrow’s interview.” Tommy places several job applicant documents, including CVs and necessary materials. Kalix takes the stack of documents and quickly checks, asking, “What time does the interview start?” “Around 10 am, Boss,” Tommy confidently replies. “Okay, I will personally participate in the interview.” After that, Tommy leaves. Kalix flips through the documents and glances . He stops at a name that he
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 70. First Project
Kalix and Nick are not hiding their intention to create a large-scale game in the near future. All employees were even told not to hesitate to propose their ideas if they have any.Not many submitted files containing game ideas they wanted to create. Kalix read and examined them one by one. He was very serious and focused on finding the strengths and weaknesses of each concept submitted by his employees."I've chosen two that seem decent to me, check them out yourself." Kalix handed two files to Nick, who entered his room as usual.Lazily taking those files, Nick complained, "I came here to relax and be alone, not to work.""Heh," smirked Kalix. "Don't think my room is more relaxed.""I know. Your room actually has more pressure, but it's better here."Kalix glanced at him with a questioning look. As the lead game developer, Nick also had his own room according to his preference. Because his mind was more active when he was alone and not disturbed by anyone.So, when Nick said Kalix's

As in the life before, they aimed for 1 million. Kalix roughly glanced at it, then added an additional 1 million at the bottom of the form. Two million would be enough for them to develop the game for the next 6 months.When he handed it to Sia, he requested, "Ask the R&D department to send a form about the game, including the code."Sia nodded.A few minutes later, Eve sent up a USB, then hesitated, clearly wanting to say something.Kalix inserted the USB into the computer, opened the game's source code, and began modifying it. He adjusted the modified code to be concealed, covering it with the original code. Even if a top-tier hacker got in, they might not be able to find it.Due to Kalix's current expertise being considered top-notch, not just because he had a soul from the future, but also because he had a system that would always assist him.It took 10 minutes to handle all of this, then Kalix calmly looked towards Eve, who was still standing hesitantly. Kalix knew that Eve wante

Without further investigating Snyder, Kalix no longer glanced at him. So why, if Snyder knew something? As long as it didn’t pose a problem for him or hinder his path, Kalix wouldn’t care.They talked a bit more before parting ways. Kalix returned to his room and sent the same message to Sia.[You and Dion will meet with SNY representatives to sign the investment agreement.]The woman’s response came shortly after.[Alright! Boss, aren’t you going to meet the SNY representative?][No. You just need to represent me in signing it, I’ve already negotiated with SNY. I have to leave this afternoon.]Sia replied with approval. Kalix threw his phone onto the bed and changed his clothes. He intentionally brought Dion and Sia because he had another meeting.After 30 minutes of choosing his outfit, Kalix picked up his phone again and saw a new message. The corners of his lips unconsciously curved upwards.He replied promptly.[I’ll pick you up. Wait there.]Staring at himself in the mirror, Kal

Kalix spent some money to free Dion and brought him back to the hotel. However, he showed no concern for Carlos, not even acknowledging him, let alone asking Dion to apologize.No words were exchanged throughout the journey, they didn’t even exchange glances. Kalix wasn’t angry, he simply felt reluctant to discuss it there, especially with Sia still around.Upon entering the hotel area, Kalix instructed the two following him like ducklings, “Sia, go back to your room, and Dion, come with me.”Though the two had different moods, they simultaneously replied, “Sure, boss.”Kalix entered his room, which had a separate living area from the bedroom.“Sit.” Kalix commanded, taking a seat himself.After Dion sat comfortably, Kalix began to ask questions.“Do you know that person? What’s your issue with him?”Kalix didn’t directly ask Dion ‘who’ it was, indirectly implying that Dion knew the person. Dion wasn’t foolish, he could distinguish Kalix’s words. However, he refused to say more.“An o

On the next workday, Nick entered Kalix’s office with a troubled expression. “What did you do to Eve?” Nick asked with displeasure. “Nothing,” Kalix glanced at him briefly and returned focus to his computer. A long sigh escaped Nick. “She came to me complaining and crying. It’s very disturbing, you know.” “Oh, really?” Kalix asked indifferently, as if he already knew. Nick didn’t respond, forcing his composure. Once again, he asked a question he had posed several times before, “So, when will your plan be executed? Honestly, I’m tired of dealing with that girl.” Kalix looked up, momentarily forgetting his work. He said seriously, “Wait for them to make the first move, this is related to them.” “Ah, so if they do nothing, you won’t do anything to them?” “I will still do it. Even just having malicious intent is already a crime.” No more words were exchanged between them, each lost in their own thoughts. About a week later, after Kalix coerced Eve into signing a loan receipt, Ni

"Aunt," Lucas called out after finishing hugging his mother."Aunt is the one who saved me, Mom," he continued to explain.Eugene recognized that face. The person called aunt by her child was Jane, who suddenly disappeared seven years ago. It would be a lie if Eugene said she wasn't surprised, but her surprise wasn't something negative. She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw. Lucas came with someone else, instead of the police who were tasked with finding his son. For a moment, he was almost speechless, until Jane herself greeted first."What an incredibly extraordinary coincidence, isn't it?" Jane smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I found the child on the south beach. I didn't expect him to be your son.""Yes. I was very surprised and of course, very grateful for helping Lucas meet us." Kalix smiled sincerely.Eugene also thanked Jane, but she couldn't help but scold Lucas i

"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house. He was carrying a cup of tea to give to his beloved wife. "Can't you go a day without making yo

Before Hannah contacted Kalix's number, she found her friend's phone ringing, only to discover it was from Eugene's mother-in-law. At first, she hesitated to tell the truth, fearing it might shock the middle-aged woman. However, following Mia's advice, she eventually broke the news cautiously. Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve

"Eugene, are you alright?" Kalix's worried expression couldn't be hidden when he saw his wife looking pale. Eugene smiled gently. Actually, her stomach was quite upset in the morning, perhaps due to indigestion or eating something wrong. She emerged from the bathroom after vomiting her breakfast this morning. "I think I'm fine," Eugene said casually. "Shouldn't we go to the doctor just in case? I'll take you right now," Kalix suggested. Seeing how caring her husband was, her heart felt warm, but she had to refuse, "I'm okay. Besides, I already have plans with my friends today." Kalix sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to his wife's stomach. "I don't mean to stop you, but how can you go out on an empty stomach? You just vomited all your food." Actually, Eugene didn't feel very hungry, but considering the effort the man had put into preparing breakfast this morning, she felt guilty. "I'll try to eat again." It seemed Kalix didn't quite agree with Eugene's words. However, he also fel

Eugene asked gently as she approached the only child there.The little boy, Lucas, turned around, seeing the pretty sister who often came to take care of him and his friends in the same room."There's snow, it's beautiful," Lucas said with a sparkle in his eyes. However, realizing he could not touch the snow, the sparkle in his eyes faded.Lucas had been in poor health since he was little, which is why his movements in the orphanage were very limited.Eugene held the boy's chin, smiling softly, and then said, "Do you want to go out?"Of course, the child nodded in agreement, he really wanted to leave his room to see the snow like the other children, even if he

On both sides of the shopping building, there were many eateries.Based on internet recommendations, they decided to visit one of the restaurants nearby.
