Renata could not control her anger when Warrick called her a 'witch'. She came forward to slap Warrick. "You disobedient son! How could you act like that to your mother?" Warrick tilted his head, avoiding Renata's slap in time. With a cold stare, he retorted, "My mom never slapped me." Hearing that, Renata became enraged. She cursed at Warrick and was about to hit him again. However, Ernest had gotten out of the car to stop her from going too far. "Why are you holding me back?" Renata tried to remove her hand from Ernest's grip. "Your son has been insolent to me. It must be because his mother didn't teach him well!" Despite Renata's insult towards Grace, Warrick remained calm. It seemed the title 'Legendary Patient' helped control his feelings. "My mother taught me well. If she didn't, I would have killed you long ago," Warrick said in a calm voice. Renata was not satisfied with Warrick's response. Since when did that useless brat dare to fight her back?In the past, whenever
After Aelish left, Warrick immediately slapped the intruder. Instantly, the system screen appeared. [Moral Detector has been activated...Name: Derwin Bull Basic information: Derwin is a criminal who managed to break into many banks and residences in the world. He is good at breaking security systems. He has killed many families while stealing from their homes. A year ago, he was arrested and sent to a special prison. But a member of The Orchid Combine freed him and hired him. (Detailed information locked. Go to level 10 to unlock this.)Moral: 0 Explanation: Derwin grew up in an environment that encouraged him to do evil. He didn't care about kindness. He would do anything for money.]Warrick was curious about the person who had freed Derwin, but he could not access detailed information.When he purchased the magic pet, he had already leveled up to level 5 because the System Points reached 5,000. He ignored his level-up because he was more interested in buying Blade. "I have to
Aelish was a bit nervous when Warrick took her to the Hawk Jewelry Store. Yet, the staff had remembered them from the incident a few days ago. They treated Aelish and Warrick well. They even had a dispute over who would serve Warrick. In the end, Warrick chose one staff member to help. "What jewelry would you like to buy?" Lacey smiled at Warrick. "I'm not the one who wants to buy that," Warrick put his arm around Aelish. "Please give my wife recommendations on jewelry suitable for parties." Lacey was disappointed that Warrick cared about Aelish. Many wealthy married men had come into the store, but they were willing to have an affair with her.This time, she had to let Warrick go because he seemed like a good husband. She only targeted playboys because they were easy to get. "Come follow me. I'll show you some recommendations." Aelish followed Lacey and listened well to her explanation. Among all the recommendations, she was interested in the collections that just came out this
[You got a random quest: Receive a slap from your mother-in-law!Reward: 500 System Points.]The random quest did not have a description of which god gave that. But Warrick was sure the quest appeared because the system knew he wanted to collect system points. "Why are you silent?" Warrick glanced at Evie, who looked down with her face flushed with embarrassment. Evie's friends had been watching the argument between her and Warrick since the beginning. She could hear their soft laughter as Warrick talked about the fly. "I just wanted to apologize to you," Evie spoke after calmed down a bit. "Let's forget the past and start a new life!" Warrick crossed his arms. "But I don't want to add an annoying fly to my new life." "I knew it! You indeed called me a fly!" The calmness Evie had just gained instantly disappeared. When her friends' giggles were heard, she lost control and slapped Warrick. [Nice slap! 500 System Points have been distributed.] Warrick stroked his cheek. Although
Damian was about to respond to Gilroy's insult but his eyes caught the person he had been waiting for. A few meters ahead of him, Warrick was walking side by side with Aelish. Blade was with them. For a moment, Damian barely recognized Warrick because he looked different. The Warrick he knew did not wear excessive luxury items. But this time, Warrick spread out an aura of wealth from head to toe.His black hair looked neat and shiny. The sunglasses perched on his nose were definitely not cheap. His gray suit supported his appearance. On his right hand was a silver watch with impressive details. His black leather shoes landed smoothly. They must have had soft cushioning, typical of expensive shoes. "When did you get here?" Warrick asked once he reached Damian. "I told you to come in half an hour."Warrick had told Damian to come when the plane was about to take off so his friend would not have to face the rich. He knew they would try to insult Damian. "I came early because I was
"Well, that's normal. Most of them are members of The Orchid Combine. The crimes they commit are definitely no joke."Warrick responded to Damian calmly. He asked again, "You remember the plan I explained in the message, right?"Last night, Warrick had sent Damian a message outlining what they would be doing at the party. He asked Damian to find out if any crimes of the official members collided with each other. With that information, Warrick could use it to create internal conflict. He was sure that some members were lying to others and trying to cover it up to avoid conflict."It was a good plan, so I kept it in mind," Damian adjusted his glasses. "I promise I'll do my best!" "Is there a capacity for how much information you can remember?" asked Warrick, realizing that magic glasses must have limits. "I can remember everything as long as I focus. But I have to sacrifice a lot of energy for that. You don't need to worry about me because I'll recover in a few days." Warrick nodded
Soft music that harmonized with the waves welcomed every guest. Golden lights shone amongst the trees, adding to the beauty of the evening. Tables with white cloths were neatly arranged and decorated with fresh flowers. People were dressed casually, and chatting in a happy mood. Laughter could be heard as they exchanged stories. Some of the guests danced to the soft music. Everyone looked happy, except Warrick, Aelish, and Damian. The three of them chose a place away from the people. There was no food or drink at their table. "What are they doing?" An old man peeked at Warrick with dislike. "They are ruining the party!" Zayden smiled. "Sir Wylie, don't mind them. Just enjoy the party. That man over there is Warrick, my brother. He's just a bit shy. Please understand his attitude!" Wylie was the head of the Laureves family and Zayden's father-in-law. His family's main business was in retail, entertainment, and hotels. LRV Ent was a major entertainment company in the country. It
[Moral Detector has been activated...Name: Amos Pearson Basic Information: Amos lived in an orphanage before moving away to train for the special forces. He is indebted to the President who helped him when he was a child. Morals: 1/10Explanation: Amos doesn't care who his opponents are. But he still has compassion for children.]Warrick stopped slapping Amos after reading information about him. It turned out that Amos and the president had a strong relationship. To make the two of them fall out, Warrick needed to find the secret that would cause the two to fight each other. Meanwhile, Amos stared at Warrick in disbelief. He had underestimated his opponent. Fighting with Warrick reminded him of special forces training.Back then, seniors would fight with juniors in evaluation matches. Amos often lost by taking a lot of hits before improving so much that he could defeat his seniors. "You're lucky that I didn't intend to kill you!" Warrick declared before delivering the final crush
Delaney was nervous that she did not know Brigitta very well. Who knew Brigitta was planning to set her up? But her doubts slowly disappeared because Brigitta was not trying to make her make a big mistake.The car stopped at a deserted spot. Delaney realized it was time for her to speak."Are you really going to help me?" she asked hesitantly.Brigitta nodded. "I hope you can get others to participate as well. The more people who report, the better.""But why do you want to help me?""You must already know that my husband owns Flower Entertainment because it was reported," Aelish answered Delaney's question. "He could benefit if LRV gets involved in a scandal. Now that he's the heir to the Rauveron family, it's easy for him to settle this matter."Delaney already knew the news about Warrick. She was also surprised because she did not expect him to take Zayden's place. With Rauveron's influence, she might be able to escape the slavery contract.She spoke in a serious tone, "I've been r
Cassius could not finish his work in peace after learning that a mysterious man was interfering with the bridge rebuilding project. Panicked, he ordered Sky Vision to fire Harold."Did you do what I requested?" he asked his secretary.Emmerich nodded. "Yes, I've told people to take care of Harold. He will be responsible for the corruption of the project.""When will it be done? I want Harold on the news as soon as possible.""You have to be patient, sir. It's not just you who are involved with the project. Your people are working hard to eliminate evidence and make it all Harold's fault.""What about the mysterious man?""I'm sorry, sir. I haven't been able to trace his whereabouts. Even the Sky Vision workers don't know anything."Hearing that, Cassius' temper exploded. He threw a work file in Emmerich's face."Get information about him in two weeks! If you fail, you're fired! Get out of here!"Obediently, Emmerich walked out of the president's office. He ignored the whispers of peop
Sky Vision provided labor services to work on its projects. A qualified workforce also facilitated the rebuilding of the bridge.Chasing targets, they stay overnight at the construction site and often stay up late to complete the installation of the bridge structure. Tonight, they appeared to be taking a break.Tents were built there as their temporary sleeping quarters. They lit a campfire while eating dinner and chatting."Harold, you should ask Sky Vision to add more workers here. We're having trouble completing the bridge with the current number of workers," Clarence, the supervisor, ventured to speak up."Settle Mr. President's request quietly if you still want to live!" Harold snapped. He was the construction manager of Sky Vision, but he had sided with Cassius since a few months ago.The money that should have been used to increase the workforce was corrupted. No one dared to protest because the workers were afraid of Cassius.As a result, they were forced to work hard, which r
Warrick regularly contacted the alliance to monitor their activities. But not seeing him for two weeks must have made them uneasy.Like Zayden, the members of The Orchid Combine also thought that Warrick had been reassured by power and had forgotten about his plans for revenge. That's how humans are.The alliance members must have heard that Warrick was only focused on work. Those who initially believed in him would slowly wonder if his determination had changed.That was why Warrick would meet Lacey, who was taking a significant role in the alliance's mission this time: spying on the Laureves family."I was surprised when you said you wanted to see me right now," Lacey welcomed Warrick to her mansion in an elite residential neighborhood. She frowned at his appearance. "Are you avoiding someone?"Warrick nodded. "As expected from the leader of a scammers group, you guessed my intentions correctly. Cassius sent people to watch me, so I had to restrict my movements.""So that's why you
Warrick was able to use the abilities given by the system to solve the problems at Orionis Star. However, he only offers one stock prediction to attract clients back.Orionis Star was not yet officially in his hands, so he had to be careful if he did not want to lose money. He was willing to use his ability to spot potential investments to embarrass Zayden.His stepbrother had already proven to be a failure in solving the company's problems. This was a chance for him to show his skills."Announce that Orionis Star is cooperating with Stellar Investment Solutions!"At a meeting of the company's top brass, Warrick gave the absolute order. The news of the partnership would definitely attract the attention of potential clients."Is that okay?" Zayden asked skeptically.Warrick smiled. "SIS is limiting client acceptance indefinitely. People who want to use my company's services will be interested in the Orionis Star when the news comes out.""We should discuss this with father first.""No

Everyone at CFT Entertainment had come to respect Aelish after Warrick officially became heir. But that was not the only contributing factor. Her success in I Want to Know also received a positive response.People initially dismissive of Aelish shut their mouths because her project did not end badly. They wondered why her movie got so many views."Now I know why! Warrick must have helped Aelish finance her project.""That makes sense. There are SIS ads in the movie, too.""I thought her project was successful because of her abilities, but it turns out her husband helped her.""She's just a former craft service for a movie crew. How did she manage to become a producer?"Some people in CFT secretly gathered around in the bathroom and talked about Aelish behind her back. They could not accept that someone who had always been despised could rise to the top.Jill had been listening to those people's unpleasant gossip from the start. She came to the bathroom to wash her hands, not expecting
Warrick summoned all the company's higher-ups to an emergency meeting. It infuriated Zayden to have his strategic error pointed out to them.What was annoying was that he could not protest, not because he was afraid of Warrick, but because his stepbrother was right. The higher-ups were even surprised that Warrick could find fault in their work.All this time, they thought Ernest's eldest son became a salesman because of his stupidity. His not-so-good college grades reinforced that.They wondered why Warrick had been hiding his abilities all this time. However, no one dared to ask because the atmosphere was tense."I'll offer you a solution," Warrick said, drawing the attention of everyone reading the mistakes explanation in their report.Zayden narrowed his eyes. "What solution do you have?""You guys know SIS is famous right now. I'm the one who made all the predictions for the stock increase."Everyone glanced at each other in shock. They knew that Warrick owned SIS, but many specul
The next day, the servants told Warrick and Aelish that breakfast was ready. After what happened last night, Renata did not want to have breakfast with Warrick, but Ernest forced her to."Honey, eat this," Warrick placed a sandwich on Aelish's plate. He acted as if there was no one but his wife at the table, which irritated Lucy."Aren't you two going to apologize?" asked Lucy, glaring at Aelish. She was annoyed at having to share the main mansion with another woman. "There's still plenty of room here. As a good daughter-in-law, you should respect Renata!"Aelish frowned. "You also took Warrick's mother's room when there was plenty of room. Why can't I do the same?" she retorted sarcastically."The difference is that his mother's room is already empty, and the room you're occupying still has an owner!""Sir Ernest has already allowed us to stay in that room. I don't need to waste my time with you, who is not the absolute authority in this mansion."Being pointed out about her position
