Readers, my apologies for not updating yesterday. I fell in the bathroom which made it painful to move my hand. Be careful, everyone. I will do a double update to catch up.
In the police car, Warrick remained silent as he stared at the system window notifying him that he had completed the quest.He stayed calm even when he arrived at the police station, leaving the officers confused."You know you've made a big mistake, right?" a police sergeant interrogated Warrick, brandishing a baton stick.Warrick gave a nod. "I was wrong to beat those people, but they provoked me into doing it.""What did they do to you?""They have been insulting me for years. I couldn't just stand there while they mocked me and called me useless."Another officer chuckled. "But what they said is true. You were cast aside by the Rauveron and Vernidras families because you're useless!"Warrick clenched his fists but managed to resist the urge to strike the officer."Are you arresting me just to insult me? If so, you should release me."Shawn, the sergeant with the baton, scowled at Warrick's words. He pressed his baton against Warrick's neck as a warning of his authority."You attac
Warrick often visited the Vernidras family when Grace was alive. His mother's family was cold to him. But there was one person who treated him well, and that was Liska, his cousin. Even Liska was still kind to Warrick when everyone else ignored him. She allowed him to contact her anytime he needed help. Yet, Warrick never asked Liska for help because he did not want others to look down on his cousin too. Everyone around Warrick was constantly the target of bullying and insults. For this reason, he chose to keep his distance from Liska. Today Warrick was forced to contact Liska to escape the police. Besides, he was also confident that he could repay his cousin's kindness in the future. He would help her with all the blessings of the system. "Miss Liska isn't here yet," Shawn looked relieved when he said that. Half an hour had passed and Liska still had not shown up at the police station. Payton gripped Warrick's arm tightly. "How dare you fool us! As I suspected, you couldn't po
"We won't get into trouble, right?" Aelish raised a question on the way to meet the agents. She felt anxious to recall the things she had been through with Warrick. They both had bad rumors. That's why the workers at the Hawk Jewelry Store did not trust Warrick to buy a set of jewelry. Aelish did not want to see Warrick or herself humiliated again. "If those agents are looking down on us, we should just buy a house in a normal neighborhood." "I'll beat them up if they do that," Warrick responded calmly. "Hey, you can't use violence recklessly!" "Just kidding, haha. If they look down on us, I'll prove that we don't deserve it." Aelish only nodded in response. She understood why Warrick was eager to buy a penthouse at Sunset Euphoria Living. Her husband was trying to build his image in the society. People would not dare insult him again if he proved to have a lot of money. It was painful because money could change a person's attitude. For a moment, Aelish feared that Warrick wo
Despite the unexpected incident, the survey continued after Warrick and Aelish changed their clothes. Sara came to respect Warrick after the incident. She acted professionally by explaining the various facilities offered by Sunset Euphoria Living. Warrick and Aelish explored the penthouse in amazement. For the past three years, they had been living in a small one-bedroom house. So it was natural for them to be amazed by the facilities. "The view looks amazing!" Aelish exclaimed as she watched the sunset from the balcony. Warrick moved toward her. "I know, right? We will enjoy this beautiful view every day." "Can you really buy this unit?""I wouldn't schedule a meeting with the agents if I didn't have the money." Warrick approached Carol and Sara to discuss the payment. After agreeing on the price, he was instructed to contact a legal professional to ensure the purchase process went smoothly. The survey was completed and Warrick invited Aelish to return to the villa. Aelish fed
Warrick almost cried out because he failed to complete the quest. Fortunately, his composure came out first, so he did not do anything weird in front of Ashton. Even though failing the quest caused him to lose the rewards, he at least got a free penthouse from an influential person in the country. "Thank you so much, Sir! My wife and I will always remember your kindness."Warrick had to show satisfaction with the penthouse gift if he did not want to offend Ashton."The ownership certificate will reach you in a week," Ashton declared, still wearing an expressionless face. "You can stay in the penthouse while you wait for that to be done." Warrick was surprised by this statement. The process of buying a house normally would not be completed in a week. But because Ashton was a major general, he had a different privilege than everyone else. With his influence, the penthouse would be Warrick's in just one week. "Don't you want to ask for something else?" Ashton raised one eyebrow. Wa
Warrick held a meeting with his colleagues at the villa to further discuss the acquisition process. As requested, Marcos did not show up and sent a new management consultant named Logan. "I've sent the data you need to your email," Miguel opened the conversation. "Have you read everything?" "Yes, I have read the data carefully. That's why I've invited you all to this discussion today." Cathleen showed a glimpse of annoyance at Warrick's response. "I and the others have done a preliminary analysis of the company's financial situation, assets, and performance. SIS is in bad shape right now!" "I agree with Cathleen," Dominick chimed in. "SIS is being sold for one million dollars because of the company's poor situation." Warrick tapped his fingers on the table, thinking hard. "One million? Well, that's a good price. I won't negotiate. The owners will let SIS go because there won't be anyone willing to buy at one million for now." "Are you serious?" asked Logan, shocked. He joined
"What will you do to touch The Orchid Combine?" Damian asked because he knew not just anyone could touch the powerful group. "I need to gather power first," Warrick explained his plan. "Almost all the rich people are subject to that group. So, the easiest way for me would be to reach the underworld.""Are you serious? The underworld is not bound to The Orchid Combine, but they will obey whoever is stronger. Moreover, you know what the people are like!"Experience as a police officer pushed Damian to know how ruthless the people of the underworld could be. There was nothing good to be gained when he asked about the underworld. As far as he knew, there were five main organizations in charge. The Secret Death Alliance, a place for powerful assassins from all over the country to gather. The Silent Shadow Bureau, an international spy group that worked in secret and never publicized their cases to anyone, not even their colleagues. Dark Trade Society, a criminal syndicate that controls
Half an hour later, Warrick and Damian arrived at the Sky Vision office. They wore white masks to cover their faces. Roxie, the receptionist, frowned in confusion at the mysterious guests. She smiled as she greeted, "Welcome to Sky Vision Builders. Is there anything I can help you with?" "I'd like to see Mr. Clive Gray," Warrick immediately stated his purpose. "Did you make an appointment?" "Sorry, I didn't have time to make it because I was in a hurry. Please let him know if the real owner is coming to see him." Roxie's respect for Warrick dropped instantly. The friendly smile disappeared from her face. "Don't joke with me! I don't have time for that," she said sarcastically.Warrick could understand Roxie's feelings, so he did not take offense at her attitude. "I'm not joking. Mr. Clive must know what I mean." "You'd better obey him," Damian joined the conversation. "What if this man is important to Mr. Clive? You will have to suffer the consequences if that's true."Roxie wa
