Revenge of the Abandoned Son 89. Game Launch Conference
Kalix sat in his office chair, laughing contentedly as he leaned forward, staring at his laptop screen.The system in his mind transformed into a cat, instead of showing the same happiness, it only displayed its usual laziness."Tomorrow is the company's game conference, and I can't wait to see Carlos's expression. He dared to sell inferior products; I want to mock him thoroughly."The cat-headed system shook its head but didn't say anything that would diminish its happiness. It calmly said, "When two games are released, they will undoubtedly be compared to Maggic Effects; the superior one will become apparent in an instant."Under the system's warning, the enthusiastic Kalix was forced to sleep.The current State-of-the-Art was confident, hosting a grand conference for their new game. They not only invited the most famous media in the country but also spent a considerable amount to invite domestic male and female celebrities as spokespeople.Kalix and Eugene, representatives of the C

With the support of Group Celeste and SNY, the current State-of-the-Art is not short of funds. Immediately after the conference, two trailers were broadcast simultaneously in mainstream media. Online publicity gained incredible momentum.Carlos and CEO Dom& Tech sat in their office watching the trailer. As the music faded, their expressions shifted from mockery to shock and disbelief.The ‘Magic Effects’ they thought were unbeatable classics now appeared unpleasant.“Didn’t you tell me your team is the best in the country? So, what is all this?! Is this the kind of nonsense top-tier teams produce? Carlos, look closely, see the gap between you and those people! If you lack the skills, don’t try to sell them! You’ve ruined me!”CEO Dom& Tech cursed harshly, pouring a heart stabilizer into his mouth. It wasn’t all Carlos’s fault, but rather his greed for money from Jaxson.If only he hadn’t left State-of-the-Art due to Carlos’s persuasion and Jaxson’s bribes, he could still enjoy a peace

When the tax officer arrived, Dom&Tech's CEO had been sent to the hospital due to a heart attack, so Carlos had no choice but to go negotiate. "We received reports that your company has a substantial amount of illegal financing, according to the law, we are here to review your accounts," a tax officer stated his purpose clearly. Carlos glanced at his computer. No gaming expenses could uncover his hidden financial documents, so he remained remarkably composed. He replied to the tax officer calmly, "Certainly, we will try our best to cooperate if necessary." The tax officer powered up the computer and effortlessly found relevant financial documents. After opening a few folders, his expression froze slightly. Calmly, he pressed the pause button, put on headphones, and continued inspecting. A few minutes later, he took off the headphones and shouted, "Boss, take a look!" Carlos stood outside the office, observing both of them starin
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 92. Carlos's Trial
News of Carlos's arrest quickly surfaced in the financial and social sections of major media outlets. Due to the prior popularity of Magic Effects and the extraordinary display of love by Eve following her award-winning design, the public was keenly interested and concerned about their fate.Once hailed as the most talented couple, the woman's imprisonment on charges of rape, fraud, slander, and other crimes led the man to follow suit shortly after. They impressively transformed into the most unethical pair.Public attention towards them did not diminish at all, in fact, it surged every day.Many began questioning the reasons for Carlos's arrest, but because the case was still under probation, it was uncomfortable for the police to disclose information, so they remained unresponsive.Kalix covertly assisted tax officials in breaching Carlos's firewall and manipulated the accounting system of Dom&Tech. Ruthlessly, he pushed the company into a pit, then turned around and used one of the

Carlos was escorted to the defendant's seat in handcuffs. He first glanced at his father, Cade, and mother, then stared at Dion sitting next to Kalix with a malicious look. He had already discussed with his lawyer and had the police take the audio to the country's best forensic laboratory for testing.If he indeed uttered that sentence, how could he not know?Once the audio evidence is withdrawn, the video won't be sufficient to confirm his guilt, and he can push everything onto Eve.Both the prosecution and defense made their statements, then the evidence below was presented. Carlos froze in shock, two audio files were still in the exhibit line, not withdrawn due to fraud."What's happening here?" he thought. But his mouth spoke differently.He suddenly stood up and shouted, "I object! Those audio files are fake! They were created by a hacker hired by Kalix! I never said those words!"The prosecutor quickly produced lab reports on the audio file identification tests, showing the auth
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 94. Venting Anger
On the other side of the screen, a beautiful woman walks towards Kalix, smiling slightly, murmuring, “What are you up to?” She places her hand on Kalix's shoulder, leaning down to plant a soft kiss on his cheek.“Wait,” Kalix declines, not appearing angry. “Let me handle Carlos first.”Carlos's eyes widen, but he isn't surprised. He's aware of the relationship between Kalix and Eugene—they're lovers. No wonder Celeste Group is willing to assist State-of-the-Art.“Okay,” Eugene steps back, glancing briefly at the computer screen, then tells Kalix, “Uncle Snyder has arrived. Don't stay down too long, or he'll scold you again.”Eugene's tone is neither hushed nor secretive, allowing Carlos to carefully hear her words. He notices when Eugene casually refers to “Uncle Snyder,” as if they have a relationship beyond acquaintanceship or mere business ties.“Snyder... who is he to you?” Carlos unconsciously asks.Kalix looks at him calmly, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he replies, “My
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 95. Complicated Feelings
His resentment satisfied, Kalix quickly invited his sweetheart for a romantic dinner, ordering red wine and sticks. He playfully toyed with a small box in his coat pocket occasionally, then arranged the bouquet on the adjacent table. Unlike his usual expression, this time he seemed a bit uneasy. Upon hearing familiar footsteps, he swiftly stood up, lifting the bouquet of flowers. Eugene also held a bouquet of red roses. They exchanged glances, a bit shy before sharing a light laugh. "Ah, you also bought flowers, let's exchange." Kalix took the bouquet from his sweetheart's hands, then nestled his own bouquet into her embrace. Some guests near their table chuckled joyfully. Kalix quickly regained his composure, bowing down to kiss the flowers. There was a piano in the middle of the restaurant, a female pianist sitting there. Seeing Kalix's hand signal, she promptly started playing "Dream Wedding." Eugene guessed what was about to happen, unconsciously tightening her grip on the fl
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 96. Rumor
In the end, Kalix was reassured by the system, which stated, "I don't sense the presence of any other system, so it's highly likely that person has just been reborn."Kalix nodded, "Do you know from which year that person is?""I don't know, it seems like they weren't a significant or important person. They probably only knew a few things about Dominic's family and allies.""You're right," replied Kalix, finally feeling more at ease. He no longer thought about Mason's seemingly advanced and youth-appealing political tactics.The timeline in his previous life and the current one was precisely the same, where Mason replaced the governor and slowly gained fame through his sweet-sounding and highly educated words. However, it was nothing compared to one heroic act towards the end of his term, giving him a great chance to win the people's votes when he ran again.And that heroic act was suddenly reported this year, which should have been a few years ahead, becoming Mason's biggest trump ca

"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
170. End and Beginning
All Kalix could see was darkness. He did not know where he was or what time it was. His mind was filled with the bloody figure of Eugene. He felt pain in his heart, regret, anger, and all sorts of emotions raging inside him one by one, making him increasingly despondent. Squatting down and hugging his knees, Kalix did not know how to release the emotions in his heart.He could not laugh, could not get angry, could not do anything. It's as if his body was made to remain silent.In that boundless darkness, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed."Hello, Host Kalix Owen!"Hearing that, Kalix immediately looked up. He remembered, there was a system that could help him, a chance for him to fix everything. Yes, he remembered, he had called upon the system, awakened the system that could assist him."System! System, are you there?!" Kalix searched around in the darkness hoping he would find the system he was looking for.In despair, he suddenly found hope.The mechanical voice of the system echo

A 5-year-old boy sat on his bed, gazing at the snowflakes falling from the sky behind his bedroom window. The yard was blanketed in pure white, looking incredibly beautiful despite the cold air accompanying it.Eugene entered the room, the place where children under 5 years old from the orphanage slept."Lucas, what do you see?" 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

From the look in her eyes, there was no disgust, but rather guilt and regret. Her emotions were too complex for her to understand what she was feeling at the moment.Spirits are usually sensitive, and Kalix could sense the turmoil of emotions Eugene was going through. It all left him confused.A woman familiar to Kalix approached Eugene, patting her shoulder and offering words of comfort."He can no longer feel pain, maybe he's at peace now.

After nearly 2 hours of shopping, they decided to find a place to eat outside the shopping center. On both sides of the shopping building, there were many eateries.Based on internet recommendations, they decided to visit one of the restaurants nearby. As they walked towards the restaurant, Eugene suddenly remembered something."It seems like I accidentally left my watch in the watch store when I was trying on a new one earlier," Eugene said while lightly tapping her forehead."I'll go back to the store, you just wait for me at the restaurant, okay?""Okay." Eugene nodded and watched Kalix walk back towards the shopping center. Meanwhile, she stood still there and waited for Kalix instead of going into the restaurant.Kalix knew Eugene would wait for him outside the restaurant or even follow him, so he quickly walked back to the shopping center. Fortunately, the streets weren't too crowded with pedestrians at that time.After retrieving the watch from the store's employee, he exited t
