I'm sorry I couldn't double-update yesterday. I'm completely recovered now. Tomorrow I'll most likely start double updating. Thanks for following this story!
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
Roxie screamed in fear as Warrick got closer to her. Just then, Clive regained his composure. He spread his arms to prevent Warrick from walking further. "I know this receptionist made a mistake. However, I can't bear to see her beaten up. Let me punish her later."Warrick threw the baton at the security guard. Then, he looked at Clive, who was also looking at him. [Love Detector analysis result: Name: Clive GrayAge: 55 years oldLove percentage: ???Trust level: High.]Warrick ignored the analysis and pointed to the bruise on his forehead. "Make sure her punishment is worth the pain my head received."Clive swallowed nervously. He realized Roxie had made a big mistake. But he thought of his daughter, so he could not bear to see a girl being beaten. "Well, forget about that for now," Warrick extended his hand. "I came here to meet you. Let's get to know each other!" Clive accepted Warrick's hand. "Let's talk in my room. You don't mind, do you?" [Business Connection analysis res
"Did you find anything interesting after visiting Sky Vision?" Warrick questioned Damian as he focused on driving the car. He was going to drive Damian home because he had business with Aelish. Moments ago, Aelish had texted Warrick and asked him to meet her immediately. It seemed she had something urgent to discuss in person. "Mr. Clive is clean," Damian stated confidently. "He only has one crime, which is turning a blind eye to corruption and you know it. But he's not involved with the corruption." "What about the others?" Warrick asked again, remembering the board of directors, who had crossed paths with him."People who follow Mr. Clive, right? Almost all of them are involved in corruption.""How many people are not involved?" Damian tried to recall the people he met at Sky Vision. Because he passed by many people and analyzed them, he often had trouble remembering the results of his glasses' analysis. "I'm not sure," Damian said, sounding doubtful. "If my memory is correct,
Warrick did not want to tell Liska what happened, but a system notification suddenly appeared. [You received a strike of quests: 1. Inform Liska Vernidras about the party invitation. 2. Head to Ryder Vernidras' house and talk to him for 15 minutes. 3. Visit the Rauveron family mansion and tell whoever is there that you will be attending the party. 4. Buy the necessary items to attend the party. Reward: 10,000 Skill Tokens and 5,000 System Points. An additional reward of four random items if you successfully complete the quest before eight in the evening. Penalty: None.]This was the first time Warrick had received such consecutive quests. The first and fourth quests were easy to do. But he was not sure about the second and third quests. Ryder was indeed his maternal grandfather. Unfortunately, their relationship had been strained after Grace's death. Ryder had never shown any concern for Warrick or publicly acknowledged him as his grandson.It would be awkward if Warrick sudd
Liska glared in shock at Warrick's statement. "W-What did you just say? You're just joking, right?" She hoped Warrick understood her. If Warrick brought up such a sensitive topic, Ryder would be furious. "Unfortunately, I wasn't joking," Warrick confirmed, making Liska scream inwardly.Ryder snorted. His gaze was full of contempt for Warrick. "You? Destroying The Orchid Combine? That would only happen in your dreams!" "Then, I just need to make that dream come true.""Stop saying nonsense!" Warrick was about to speak again but his voice caught in his throat as his gaze met Ryder's.[Love Detector has made an analysis...Name: Ryder Vernidras Age: 78 years old Love percentage: 80% Trust level: High] The results of the analysis left Warrick stunned. Too shocked, he could not open his mouth. 'What is this? Why is the percentage of love so high?' Because it did not make sense, Warrick thought the Love Detector had an error. But that's more implausible.Love Detector was a specia
