Shawn quickly turned around and caught a hand that was about to hit his head. Then Shawn locked the movement of his arm by slightly twisting the man's wrist using a little Aikido technique.Shawn immediately looked into the eyes of the man who attacked him. "Mike... what a coward you are!"Mike winced slightly at the pain in his hand. If he forced the wrist to move, he could have dislocated the hand. The man sensed that this Aikido lock was quite dangerous, but Mike also did not accept being called a coward by Shawn.He returned Shawn's gaze with a sinister look as well. He glared hatefully. "You can talk all you want, lousy guy. I'm sure you must have cheated earlier! Kadu is a poor guy who spent your life working in a lowly factory. There's no way you have the skills to beat me, an elite person. You must have done something to make yourself win, right? You cheater!"Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. He released his hand lock with a slight pushback, allowing Mike to escape the excruc
"What's in it for me to help a stranger like you?" Shawn furrowed his brows and gave the man a sharp look.The man repeatedly looked back in panic that the people chasing him would catch up. He again held Shawn's hand tighter and tighter. "You can't act like that. Please hide me from them. I'll die if I get caught by those monsters!"Shawn and Rachel looked sharply at the confused man. Shawn did not know what monsters the man was referring to. However, Shawn couldn't immediately trust a stranger like this. He could have bad intentions towards Shawn and Rachel.Shawn removed his hand from the man's grip. "I can't do it."The man immediately swallowed his saliva. His eyes did not blink as he looked at Shawn, portraying disappointment at Shawn's refusal. However, the man was now clinging to Shawn's leg. "No, no, I mean it! Do me a favor just this once. Hide me until those people pass by. Please!"Shawn began to feel uncomfortable with this man's coercion. He even wrinkled his forehead. "
"Then you'll have to pay the entire Morris debt!" Albert said firmly while glaring at Shawn.Shawn squinted his eyes slightly as he thought about what he should do to solve this problem. He was silent for a moment as he continued to stare at Albert without blinking. It was as if they were exchanging glances.Shawn finally put his hand into his pants pocket, where his cell phone was. "Alright, I'll pay for it."Suddenly Morris was surprised by Shawn's sudden answer. He looked at Shawn without blinking. Rachel furrowed her brows and gave Shawn a sharp look.Albert looked at each other with his friends. Then they burst out laughing because they felt that this was a very funny thing. "Oh my God! This is so funny! There's someone like you. Did you know Morris before, Mr. Benefactor?"Albert looked at Shawn with a very annoying smile. He was a little suspicious of Shawn suddenly wanting to pay Morris' debt. Shawn shook his head. "Not at all."Actually, Shawn's mind was raging with annoyan
"We're finally here. I'm so tired." Rachel exhaled when the car she and Shawn were riding in arrived. Shawn got out first and opened the door for Rachel. Without smiling, she got out and walked to his door, leaving Shawn behind with the luggage.It had been a few days since they had been on their honeymoon on Mount Aura, so Rachel's energy was naturally depleted, and she was back to her original mode, rarely smiling. Shawn himself also felt her fatigue after following Rachel's activities on their honeymoon. Shawn felt that Rachel must have gotten tired more easily because she was pregnant.Rachel looked back and waited for a moment for Shawn. Then they entered the house together. As soon as they opened the door, the first people they saw were Verena and Rico. Rachel's parents. Verena folded her hands in front of her chest with a sour face, while Rico just had a flat face while holding a glass of wine.Rachel exhaled. "Father, Mother. I'm back."Rico took a sip of the wine in his glas
"I can't do it my way? This is a bit strange, system. You tell me that I can level up by adding subordinates, but you forbid me to do it my way. Aren't you going to prevent me from leveling up faster?" Shawn squinted slightly as he protested. To him, what the system was doing now was deliberately making it easier for him to level up.[Ding!][If you do it your way then bad things will happen.]Shawn exhaled with a frivolous grin. "It's not obvious. What do I need to worry about? Won't they be able to level up like me? They'll become more useful, their abilities will increase as well."[Ding!][That is correct, they can advance like you. However, you need to see the potential in your subordinates."][If you are not careful in seeing their potentials, then you will regret it one day.][It is better to fully observe the potentials of your subordinates in order to choose the most appropriate path.]Shawn stared at the writing without blinking. Then he held his chin. "I see... so I have to
"How can you say you'll make our cost of living when you only work in a small factory? Dreaming has its limits too." Rachel said while looking ahead. Shawn glanced at her, then exhaled. "I have my own way. I believe in what I'm saying, Rachel."Rachel just smiled lightly while snorting. "Are you going to keep expecting someone like Lord Darius to give you money? Coincidences don't happen all the time, Shawn."Shawn was silent for a moment. It was true what Rachel said, there was no way such luck would happen continuously. Shawn alone needed the power of the Lucky Dice to get that. However, Shawn remained calm even though Rachel was attacking him with that sentence. "Relax, Rachel. I can find the money. There's no need to worry."Rachel glanced at Shawn. She didn't know how Shawn could be that confident, but he had been showing all sorts of surprising things.Rachel shook her head slightly. "Whatever you say, Shawn."Shawn gave her a small smile in return. Of course Shawn could do it
"Shawn? What are you doing here?" Jerome smiled slightly when he saw Shawn standing there. Jerome almost got up from his seat.Shawn couldn't possibly say that he was guided by the system to this place. "I'm here by chance. "He said as he gave a slight smile to cover up his lie. He saw Bruce and Harvey there slightly showing their dislike for Shawn. Even Bruce's eyes got a little squinty when he saw Shawn.Jerome innocently nodded his head. "I see. Did you also get into trouble to come to this place?"Shawn shook his head. "No, I didn't. I just dropped by."Jerome's expression changed slightly. He gave a small nod and tried to look calm despite the fact that he felt his feet and hands getting cold.It turned out that Shawn realized something different at this moment. He felt a connection between himself and Jerome. For some reason he could also feel his hands and feet getting cold just like Jerome's did.In his mind Shawn kept muttering. "Jerome, are you worried?"When Shawn looked a
"You're really don’t have manners!" Harvey growled with an angry face after hearing Shawn's words. He continued to glare at Shawn without blinking. "No wonder you and this thief are friends. You have the same bad attitudes. Both of you just walk in and act like criminals! I'm sure you're the same kind of loser, pretending to be innocent until the next time someone lets their guard down you'll commit the same kind of crime. After all, you and him are a syndicate, you have all sorts of tricks up your sleeve, right? I've often dealt with a syndicate of rotten people like you. Criminals who work together like you don't stand a chance against Harvey."Shawn snorted. "No wonder you and that asshole neighbor work together. You guys have the same attitude."For a moment Harvey sensed that Shawn's words were sarcastic. He took a step closer and puffed out his chest. "What do you mean, huh?"Shawn folded his arms across his chest. "It's obvious you're siding with this guy. You must know each o
