Rise of the banished heir Chapter 1 Unexpected Journey
Gerald looked weary. He put a notice letter to settle his overdue tuition fees into his backpack. He was heading home with a heavy heart. It wasn't just about the tuition fees; his family in the village had also delivered distressing news. His parents couldn't send money because his father was reported to be seriously ill and needed medical care.It was a string of news that Gerald did not want to hear. Despite being a business and accounting student, he hadn't been able to find a job yet."Damn! Where else do I have to look for a job?" Gerald muttered to himself.Despite his economic struggles, Gerald was frugal, always dressing modestly, even wearing worn-out clothes. His financial situation was below average for a college student.But unexpectedly, amid his despair, Gerald encountered a group of teasing students. One of them was named Zack. Zack was someone Gerald wanted to avoid. For some reason, in Zack’s eyes, Gerald's shabby appearance was a source of trouble. It was evident wh
Rise of the banished heir Chapter 2 Unraveling Fate’s Thread’s
"Have you realized it, young man?" asked a middle-aged woman who had just entered Gerald's hospital room. She sat down beside Gerald."Yes, Grandma!" Gerald replied, gazing admirably at his interlocutor.Although some of the woman's hair had turned white, traces of her youthful beauty still shone clearly on her face. From her appearance, it seemed that she came from a well-off background. "Thank you for saving my granddaughter," she said with a smile."You're welcome, Grandma. I believe anyone in my position would have helped without thinking twice."The grandmother looked at Gerald with a friendly smile. Her eyes examined his handsome face and beautiful brown eyes. "Why do I feel like I know this young man's gaze and face?" she thought."Why are you looking at me like that, Grandma?" Gerald asked softly, feeling confused by Sarah's gaze."Oh, it's nothing. It's just that your face seems to remind me of my past mistakes," she said, continuing to gaze at Gerald and smile. Gerald was be
Rise of the banished heir Chapter 3 Unexpected Gift’s and Accusation’s
In front of Gerald's modest-looking dorm room, the woman who owned the place appeared with an irritated expression."Gerald, Gerald, wake up!" she shouted as she pounded on the door.The loud noise, not the first time it had happened, was enough to make Gerald realize that the landlady intended to collect the two months' unpaid rent.Gerald got up and immediately took out money from his drawer. He counted the money from the mission completion rewards given by the system. Despite repeatedly telling the landlady to be patient, the pounding on the door only grew louder."Hurry, open the door! If you don't pay your rent, leave this place right now!" the landlady yelled.Without argument, Gerald quickly opened the door. He handed over the money with a smile. The landlady, who was initially angry, was left speechless. She became even more frustrated because her fiery anger couldn't be expressed since Gerald already had the money."This is how it should be. If you pay on time, I won't have t
Rise of the banished heir Chapter 4 Unexpected Revelsal
Gerald rode his new Honda Super Cub C125 to campus this morning. Along the way, he realized that he was the centre of attention. Especially when he stopped at the traffic light showing the red signal, more than just a few people were staring at him. Eventually, Gerald began to feel disturbed by their behaviour."Why are they looking at me? Is it because this motorcycle is the latest model that hasn't been seen on the streets yet?" Gerald thought as he noticed a child staring at him without pause.Gerald entered the campus gate casually, even though the stares of people around him were quite bothersome. Moreover, many people disliked Gerald due to the circulated photo description of him with Olive.On the other hand, Gerald was annoyed because he thought people didn't believe he could ride a motorcycle. In reality, those who were looking at him were admiring the classic-themed motorcycle they had never seen before.After parking his motorcycle, Gerald headed towards the dean's office.
Rise of the banished heir Chapter 5 Martha's Warning
Gerald parked his motorcycle in the basement of his workplace. As he removed his helmet, a holographic message from the system appeared in his mind."First Day at Work."Accept Mission: Yes or No."Gerald smiled as he approved the mission. "I can definitely handle it! I consider it a part of the excitement of life."Gerald had been briefed on his responsibilities and authority as an employee by his seniors. There, he was warmly welcomed by his superiors and colleagues. Now, he was busy helping his colleague prepare coffee. His activity was briefly interrupted when Lily arrived and inquired about his presence. Gerald turned to the source of the voice, trying to figure out why Sarah's secretary had approached him."Gerald, you can delegate your tasks to your senior. Mrs. Sarah would like to speak with you!""Alright." Though still puzzled, Gerald could only follow the woman's orders. He felt it would be impolite to ask why he was being summoned because Lily appeared to be behaving very
Rise of the banished heir Chapter 6 Secrets and Loyalty Stars
The sun had just risen, and Gerald was awake. He sat casually in front of the dispenser, waiting for the water to be ready to pour into the cup filled with coffee grounds. Not daydreaming like most people, but Gerald was so focused on reading the hologram message from the system, which was different from usual."Is this an explanation about the system itself? Still, there's no information about the origin of this system that has been helping me," Gerald mumbled, realizing that the message from the system only related to explanations of statistics and records after the mission was completed.Gerald read it carefully. From the message, Gerald learned about the statistics section that appeared alongside mission success notifications.Loyalty.This section's statistics show how many missions Gerald has completed. Loyalty points increase when Gerald successfully completes a mission. They also decrease if Gerald doesn't accept a mission, and failure to complete a mission will also reduce th
Rise of the banished heir Chapter 7 Family Secrets and Unanswered Questions
The serious question from his father left Gerald realizing a deeper meaning. Remembering his father's warnings to stay away from the economic elite, Gerald fell silent. He had heard about Albert's bad experiences with the wealthy before. But from Albert's current expression, Gerald realized that working at a renowned company might not be the right answer to reveal."If you have indeed been working for the past month, then you must be working at an extraordinary place," Albert raised his voice, his anger evident in every word he spoke. "Gerald, tell me, where are you working?! You haven't ignored Dad's warning about avoiding places like the Johnson family, have you?"Seeing Albert getting angrier and starting to clutch his chest, Gerald panicked. "Dad, please, calm down! I have a specific reason for not answering your question."Albert grimaced in pain, and sweat formed on his forehead. "It turns out my accusations were true. You don't even deny it. How many times has Dad said—?" Alber
Rise of the banished heir Chapter 8 Unraveling Family Secrets
Gerald wakes up at five in the morning. He first stretches his muscles. Last night's sleep was enough to ease his fatigue, but his mind is still occupied with the mystery behind his family's behavior. Amidst his busy thoughts, a message from the system appears."Avoiding Conflict.""Accept Mission: Yes or No."However, there's something different about the mission that appears this time, and for some reason, the mission from a few days ago haunts him again. This makes Gerald furrow his brow, as he now has two missions simultaneously."Why is the mission reappearing? Is my task now to solve two missions at once?" Gerald mutters as he gets out of bed and heads to the bathroom.After getting ready, Gerald rushes to his campus, riding his beloved motorcycle that always faithfully accompanies him. Throughout the journey, he continues to ponder the mission haunting him. The busy traffic can't distract his mind from the issues with his family and his new mission."Maybe Natasha lied and took

Chapter 42 Betrayal's Bloodshed. A Dilemma Unveiled"
Bab 42The man became increasingly confused with his choice. Tempted by the money offered by Gerald or sticking with his old boss who never clearly provided him with a salary."Damn. Why am I in such a dilemma," he cursed in his heart, while normalizing his facial expression so that Gerald wouldn't notice.Meanwhile, Gerald smiled inwardly. He was confident that the negotiation was successful, plus he had someone as an information source."Hurry, write down your bank account number right now, before I change my mind," Gerald said, trying to convince the man in front of him, who was clearly agitated.The man remained silent for a moment, staring at Gerald. There was still doubt, afraid that Gerald might deceive him. But, on the other hand, he also needed clarity about his current income for the sake of his family."Can I trust you?""Trust me. You can hold my word as that of a true man."The man then slowly took Gerald's phone while his eyes glanced at his friends who had been silently

During the journey, Gerald was busy with his phone, both with messages and incoming calls.Unfortunately, he didn't realize that the car carrying him was quietly followed by four other cars.Meanwhile, Carlos, behind the wheel, noticed the situation. He chose to remain silent and calm. Just by giving a code through a glance to his friend behind, the friend conveyed the news via messages to other colleagues in different cars."Carlos, I noticed the car suddenly speeding up earlier. Is something wrong?" Gerald asked with surprise."Someone has been following us since we entered the toll road, Sir," replied the bodyguard, focusing on driving and occasionally glancing at the car behind trying to overtake.Gerald looked back to confirm it. To his astonishment, he saw a lot of cars and tried to chase the one carrying him."I'm sure. They're Pablo's henchmen trying to retaliate against us. Just focus on the speed of the vehicle, don't let them catch us. If there's a chance, create chaos," Ge

He then headed to the dining room in the inn.Zack looked around, both left and right, and it still seemed quiet and dark as the clock showed 6 in the morning.He chose to sit while playing with his phone, occasionally glancing around."She's taking so long to arrive," Zack muttered, starting to get bored waiting for Natasha. "It's the first time in my life waiting for a woman, while with my mom, I can't be bothered to wait for her," Zack continued.The long wait made Zack bored, and he tousled his hair, which was now starting to look long."Is there a problem? You look troubled," Natasha's voice snapped Zack out of his thoughts, and he quickly tidied his hair."Hey, Natasha. So, you're already here?"Instead of answering Natasha's question, Zack didn't respond but asked another question.Natasha just smiled, hearing Zack's encouraging words. No man had ever been sweet and caring to her like this."Sorry, I have to go

Seeing that, thoughts crossed Zack's mind on how to defeat and ruin Gerald."For today, let's end this surveillance," Zack ordered while asking Tian and Cris to return to the inn.Upon hearing Zack's command, Tian was clearly surprised and disappointed. After hours of surveillance that ended with nothing but a return, he was frustrated and protested, "Why go back? We wanted to teach that jerk a lesson. Why return now?"Zack squinted his eyes, pondering for a moment before answering. "Tian, Cris, this is not the right time. We need a well-thought-out plan to destroy Gerald. Don't rush it, or we might lose a big opportunity."Tian shook his head with a displeased expression. "But, Zack, we've been waiting for this chance for so long. Now that Natasha is here, we can use it. Don't let this opportunity slip away."Zack smirked cunningly, contemplating Ti

We were only defending ourselves because this woman attacked us first," explained the head guard named Hugo.Hearing Hugo's explanation only added to Gerald's confusion, especially as the commotion attracted residents who gathered in front of Gerald's parents' house.

Good morning," Zack said, smiling.Thrilled to see Natasha finding him and greeting him, Natasha responded cheerfully, "Hi, Zack! Beautiful morning, isn't it? Wow, you must have some exciting plans for today!"Zack shook his head slightly. "I have a bit of work today, and I might stay longer until my tasks are completed," Zack explained briefly. He just wanted Natasha to know that if he, a man, stayed longer in this village, he hoped Natasha would always be there with him."Oh, really? I understand your busyness.

It was the first time in her life witnessing a fight up close."Bell, I'm scared. Let's just go home," Olivia invited, her voice trembling."Come on, don't be such a wimp. Don't go home yet. What if we hide in a safe place to find out which side is the strongest," Bella said enthusiastically.Olivia found her friend's idea ridiculous."No! I'm going home. Are you staying or coming with me?" After saying this, Olivia walked away, leaving Bella still curious to watch the fight."Oliv, don't go yet. I still want to stay here!" Bella shouted, seeing Olivia already sitting on her motorcycle and starting the engine.Olivia didn't care.
