"911! Hello! There's been an accident here! A car has crashed and flipped over. Hurry to Carmeillis, before it explodes!" Someone was calling frantically. Shawn was silent as he clenched his teeth and stared at the system's blue screen. He was in a dilemma with the choices the system gave him. Risking his life was something Shawn had never done before. However, the system now wanted him to do it. "You're crazy, system! Do you want me to die?" The system didn't respond and that made Shawn even more annoyed. This was a very annoying thing. "You're quiet again, system? What happens if I refuse this mission? Nothing bad will happen, right?" [Ding!] [Half the treasure you've collected will be lost. And other people's trust in you will be lost. You will become enemies with those people.] Shawn grinned slightly. "Just like that?" [Ding!] [The trust of others could be your wife or your subordinates. Your treasure is half gone and you need to start over. Be careful in choosing.]
"Damn... the fire is getting bigger!" Shawn started sweating as he saw the flames in the car engine getting bigger and the puddle of gasoline getting closer to him.Shawn pulled the man's body out of the car. "You're still sleeping when we don't have time!"When Shawn had managed to get him out, he carried the man. Shawn looked at the puddle of gasoline that was flowing towards the fire. It turned out that it was just a little further away, less than 20 centimeters away. Shawn glared in panic.[Ding!][Your life is in danger! You could lose your life in :][5...][4...]"Damn it!" Shawn immediately turned around and ran as fast as he could. However, only about 10 meters into his run, the puddle of gasoline touched a lick of flame.Quickly, the fire spread and entered the gas tank. Instantly, the car exploded with a huge bang. Shawn was knocked off his feet by the shockwave of the explosion, and he fell while protecting the head of the person he was carrying with his hands.Everyone wh
"Ummm huh? The Du--" Shawn didn't continue his sentence. He really didn't remember any wealthy families having the name Dumas behind them.Harold raised both eyebrows high. "Yes, Dumas. You must have heard of it somewhere, right?"Shawn smiled slightly as he wrinkled his forehead. It was obvious that Shawn had doubts about his memory.The smile on Harold's face slowly faded. "Huh? You don't know about the Dumas family?"Shawn shook his head. "Sorry, I've never met any of that family. I don't remember it at all."Harold looked a little disappointed with Shawn's answer. He didn't expect there to still be people who didn't know the Dumas. "The Dumas family runs several restaurants in this city. It may not be very famous among the city's elite, but the Dumas family will experience turmoil if Mr. Regis dies. There are those within the Dumas family who want to usurp Mr. Regis' position as heir to the family."Shawn nodded, trying to digest what Harold had said. Politics in the family could
"I find this house quite cozy and peaceful." Rachel breathed in the morning air on the balcony of her room. After returning from work yesterday, Rachel and Shawn had moved into their new home with a few belongings. The rest of their belongings would be delivered by the servants later. Rachel herself really enjoyed the atmosphere in her new home. It was quieter and also had a nice view from the balcony.At that moment, Shawn was taking a shower in the bathroom, while Rachel was all dressed up to go to work. However, she was reluctant to leave right away because she had seen Shawn come home yesterday with a bandaged hand. "Did Shawn do something again?"Rachel was a little skeptical, as she knew Shawn had some ability to fight. She was a little worried that Shawn would get into a fight and cause trouble out there.A moment later Shawn came out of the bathroom. As Shawn was walking, Rachel could see that he had burns on his hands. She immediately folded her arms across her chest. "Can y
Shawn knew that dealing with a criminal case like this would be very dangerous. Not only for Shawn himself, but also for Rachel as the person closest to Shawn at the moment.After all, this was someone else's family matter, and Shawn shouldn't have interfered. Does the system not understand the privacy and business of each person? Why would the system make Shawn want to help Regis, whom Shawn had clearly just met?Shawn tried to look at the options available to him, wishing that there was an option to refuse.[Make your choice:][Yes : You have to help Regis get out of the trouble his family has caused him. Regis will be very grateful to you. You will get '???' as a reward. If you fail to do so, not only will Regis be harmed, but you will also become the target of the evil Dumas family members. Perhaps your loved ones will be targeted as well.][No : You will lose things you can't imagine. '???' (no explanation yet)]Shawn began to worry about the explanation of the choice given by th
Regis sipped the hot coffee that Shawn had previously provided for him. At the veranda, Regis was with Harold and another bodyguard, Isaac. Regis seemed inclined to accept Shawn's offer of an 18% stake in the Bio Energy company.18% of the shares is certainly a huge amount, with that many shares it would be enough to pay for a meal at a restaurant every day and also buy a luxury car every year. However, such a large share is certainly not worth a life.Regis exhaled. "Of course Mr. Shawn will ask for more, I had forgotten that this woman was his wife."Harold glanced at Regis. "Are you referring to the woman who opened the door, young master?"Regis nodded. Harold immediately understood what Regis meant. That woman was Rachel Doves, one of the wealthy families in Yihua City. Of course, her husband Shawn wouldn't be tempted by a mere 10% share offer.Regis may have been a little presumptuous to stay with a newly married couple, but Regis also needed to be around Shawn right now. That's
"There's something strange about them..." Shawn held his forehead. His eyebrows knitted together and he closed his eyes to think about his interactions with Regis and his guards. Shawn was sure he had missed something while he was talking to them.Shawn then took a deep breath and exhaled. He was starting to make some connections from the information he had been able to glean from his interactions with Regis. Suddenly Shawn opened his eyes wide realizing something. "Could it be..."Shawn opened the door to his room and walked through the room where Regis was resting. He saw his two bodyguards at the door, standing at attention with piercing eyes.Shawn nodded. "So they guard him like this."Shawn finally got to know a bit about how Regis was guarded. People from outside would have a hard time getting in because of these two guards. Even if someone tried to enter, Shawn would know first because Shawn's ears and intuition had improved more than before.Harold glanced at Shawn who had be
"What? Don't say nonsense, Mr. Shawn!" Harold had to hold his breath because he couldn't believe Shawn's words. Harold turned to Regis and Regis nodded slowly.Harold felt confused by this situation. "Isaac, did you really do that?"Isaac didn't answer. He grinned in pain and averted his eyes from Harold.Harold who was not satisfied with that approached Isaac who was still being held by Shawn and shouted loudly. "Say something, Isaac! Do you really want to kill Young Master, huh? Use your mouth and answer me now!"Isaac still wouldn't look at Harold, but he answered loudly. "Yes, I did it, Harold!"Harold immediately furrowed his brows and opened his eyes wide. "How could you even do something like this, Isaac! Have you forgotten that we swore allegiance to Young Master's parents to take care of him? We've taken care of Master Regis from childhood to adulthood like now. Are you going to throw away your pride? Where is your loyalty oath?"Isaac shouted back. "I had to do it, Harold! I
