"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
Harvey swallowed. He was a little nervous and uncomfortable with what had just happened. The serious look from Lieutenant Jim was not something Harvey could just ignore. Especially now that Harvey was pressuring Jerome and accusing him of stealing because he knew Bruce personally. Supporting someone like this is certainly a bad act because it is not neutral.If Jim finds out about Harvey and Bruce's relationship then this will be a danger for Harvey. Harvey needs to keep Jim out of this conversation. "Ennnn, Lieutenant Jim, don't you have business in the Mera district? You have important activities there that can't be left behind. I'll take care of the small and trivial matters here. I can handle it, it's just a communication error after all."Jim glared at Harvey and tilted his head. "Oh, a communication error, you say? Can you really handle that? Are you still playing at your job, Harvey?"Harvey falls silent when Jim says that. He wanted so badly to dodge, but he couldn't find the
Several times Bruce averted his eyes from looking at Shawn directly. Right now he was worried about the accusations reported by him. What if it turned out that Bruce couldn't prove what he reported? Of course, this would be a big problem because Shawn seemed to be serious with his threats. Bruce didn't want to get into a complicated matter, especially since he would lose face if he couldn't prove it. He thought, he needed to resolve this as soon as possible. He took a breath and tried to look elegant even though the cold sweat on his temples couldn't cover his worry. "Never mind, this is all a waste of my time." Everyone glanced at him. Shawn coldly looked at the man. Bruce needed to make an excuse since all the attention was now on him. "It's very inconvenient to report this to the police. You have to take care of this, you have to take care of that, it's all so long-winded. I'm a busy person. I need to leave as soon as possible." Harvey opened his eyes while watching Bruce
Shawn, who heard that, immediately looked at the woman who had just gotten out of the taxi. "Did you take money from your house? Five thousand dollars, ma'am?"Bruce's wife nodded. "It's true, I took it. That's my monthly spending money, right? I had to take Randall with me because it was quite a lot."Suddenly, Bruce glared in surprise. "Your monthly spending money? Who said that?"The woman immediately wrinkled her forehead. “Today is the day when you usually give me my shopping money. You used to put it on the table, of course I took it as usual and spent it. Why are you glaring like that, Bruce?"Bruce slapped his own forehead because he was so annoyed with his wife's behavior. "Fool, why did you take it? The monthly spending money is only 1500 dollars, I'll give it to you. However, the $5000 you took was supposed to be used to pay the workers in our family store. You ruined everything, Kate!"The woman glared and furrowed her brows. She didn't realize that the money was more impo
"Huh? All of Jerome's abilities increased by 10%? Is this a good thing? I don't see any difference in Jerome." Shawn thought as he glanced at Jerome who was holding a fork because his spaghetti carbonara had just arrived.[Ding!][New mission assigned to you!]Shawn gasped at the suddenness of the notification. Jerome even stopped chewing and glanced at Shawn.Jerome's hand seemed to be glued to the pasta. "What's wrong with you, Shawn? Are you surprised to see me eating like this? I haven't eaten well in a long time, okay? Bear with me this time."Shawn just smiled a little. Jerome had misunderstood Shawn's sudden reaction earlier.As Jerome continued to eat, Shawn refocused his ears to see what mission he was given.[Mission: Make subordinates strong!][Jerome is a loyal subordinate, but he has very little ability to help you solve problems.]Shawn raised one eyebrow. In his head he thought that what the system said was true. "Jerome will be instantly doomed if he goes on a mission
"You're crazy, Shawn. How can you do all that training and not sweat a lot?" Jerome was breathing hard. It was obvious that his shirt had gotten wet as if he had been thrown into a pool. He was sweating profusely because Shawn and the coach were pushing Jerome's body to the limit. "I don't know if I can still work at the restaurant tonight or not."Shawn chuckled slightly and patted Jerome's shoulder. "Sure! You just need to eat and drink to restore your energy and cut back on the carbs, or else you'll get sleepy easily."Jerome wrinkled his forehead. "This is more troublesome than I expected. I was planning on drinking coffee to keep my eyes open. What good is it if I drink coffee without sugar or creamer?"Jerome exhaled after grumbling like that. Shawn replied with a small smile. Jerome knew what that smile meant, no matter how much Jerome protested and complained about this, Jerome had no choice but to follow Shawn's advice.Jerome drank water from a mineral water bottle. The wate
