Gideon felt many insects roaming around in his clothes. The bright beams on his face disappeared as he wondered if the insects found their way in when he went to the zoo yesterday.
“What is wrong?” Sarah asked as she noticed Gideon rubbing his body and shaking his clothes for something to come out. Gideon screamed and shook his clothes faster. A smile crept onto Travis’s face. The grand system was so fast in helping him. Now he can’t wait to see a drama happen. Sarah gave Gideon you-did-this sort of glare and then said, “What did you do to him?” “I did nothing. Everyone here is my witness.” “Don’t tell me that. You are a fucking liar. If anything bad happens to Gideon, you will rot in jail.” “But he did nothing,” a man said. “Gideon kicked him down and he hasn’t even taken a step to fight,” another man said. “I’m sure this strange thing will still happen to him if they fight each other or not.” Gideon couldn’t endure as the pains increased. He ran to the car, but the door didn’t open. Everything he was doing isn’t helping anymore. He needed to take off his clothes before the pain increased. “Can someone please tell me what is happening to him?” Sarah raised her voice and tears popped out of her eyes. She hurried to Gideon as he was shouting for help. “What did he do to you?” Sarah asked. “Open the door please,” Gideon said impatiently. Sarah pulled the door, but it didn’t open. “Where is the car key?” “Can’t remember.” “But why is the car not opening?” Sarah searched his pocket and found no key, and then immediately dialed Gideon’s father's number to tell him what was happening to his son, but the call failed. Gideon’s father had switched off his phone because he was in a meeting. Gideon took off his clothes and his underwear and kept rubbing his naked body. He didn’t care that people were watching him, for he only wanted the pain to lessen. People couldn’t help but laugh as they recorded live videos of Gideon naked and of Sarah checking what was inside his clothes. Of course, she found nothing. Sarah burst into tears. The situation has overwhelmed her and gave her no room to think of whom to call next. Is this how everyone in New York would see the nakedness of her boyfriend? This is more than an embarrassment to her, to the extent of wishing she had never pointed Travis to Gideon. Travis felt a deep satisfaction and stole the distracting moment to use the ATM. He felt so thrilled and screamed internally as he withdrew money. [You have successfully withdrawn $500] [Account balance: $999,999,500] [Warning!] [You must spend the money within three days] [Failing the mission would result in death] Travis took a few breaths and was curious about how he would get another money if he spent plenty of money in three days. [Completed primary mission would unlock a new mission with new rewards, including money and some super skills] “Wow. You impressed me. Thank you so much!” Now, Travis walked majestically from the bank while many souls kept arriving to record Gideon's nakedness. And now, Travis stepped into a new life given to him by a grand system that is unknown to people on earth, but beautiful.Now Travis has the confidence to raise his chin while walking on the street. Looking into people's eyes doesn't even bother him anymore.He didn't stop the cab because he enjoyed walking slowly, with no intention of reaching home.Then a question came to his mind. What if the money disappeared?He should think of a way to transfer his money in the grand system to his bank account."Hello, golden system," Travis said in his mind, hoping to get an answer.[You have a trust issue]Travis felt shocked. He had forgotten the system could listen to his thoughts. He didn't reply since he had already disappointed the system.[Hold your breath for twenty seconds to stop me from listening to your thoughts]"My breath? You want me to die?"[I know your capacity][Henceforth, I will punish you if I find any thought that doesn't trust me in your mind]Travis had no choice. He took out his phone and set the stopwatch app. Then another word appeared before him.[Your lack of trust in me with your act
[I didn’t tell you to stand up]“I started trusting you,” Travis replied.[Don’t misunderstand me][If you have completed the primary mission, I would have rewarded you greatly][I can help you open the door and make you run faster to avoid any punishment from these people]Travis ignored the grand system as if it was a wrong number, and remained standing with his arm raised till everyone noticed him.Everyone laughed except for the auctioneer who folded his arms, and said, “You don’t need to ask for permission before going out.”“I stood because I want to pay $3,000,000,000,” Travis said, not minding the speed of his chest-beating. Even if the golden system failed him, he would still trust it.“Can you afford that?”“Yes,” Travis said, nodding.“Anyone else?” The auctioneer asked. He didn’t believe Travis, but he saw this as an opportunity for another person to increase the price.“Of course.” A fat man rose. “$5,000,000,000.”“6,000,000,000,” Travis snapped back.The fat man smirked
CEO Douglass motioned Travis to enter his office and told the auctioneer to bring coffee“I’m so honored to receive you to my office,” he said as they sat.“Thank you,” Travis said“This is my business card. Can I know where you are living?”“I rented a house.”“You rented a house? Wow! You are a rare being. You have a lot of money and didn’t show off. It isn't easy to live like that.”“It’s not that hard. Somehow, I just wanted to know how living poorly would feel like, but now after working as a delivery boy for six years, had experienced what money can’t buy.”“Wow! But you can’t take that car to that house because of low security. This is the right time to go back to your mansion.”“I don’t have a house. I have already sold it.”The CEO widened his eyes. “You are an unpredictable person. Would you like to meet my business partner, who is a real estate?”“Sure!”He dialed someone's number and asked him to come within thirty minutes.The auctioneer entered with two cups of coffee. “
Travis woke up in his beautiful mansion. “Good morning, golden system. How much time remains to complete the mission?”[You have 15 hours to complete the main mission]Travis received a call from CEO Douglass.“My friend, Moore, just inform me you are coming to his son’s wedding,” CEO Douglass said“Yes.”“It is already time, and we have been waiting for you.”“Oh!” Travis checked the time. It is 12:40 PM. He had slept for so long. No wonder he was famishing much. “Would get there soon. Give me thirty minutes.”“We are waiting for you,” CEO Douglass said and hung up the call.Travis hurried into the bathroom and took his bath. He quickly wore the best clothes among his old clothes.He entered his car and sent a message to the grand system.[You called me]“Please remind me to buy new clothes after the party.”[Request granted]“Thank you!”Travis clicked the place he was going on the car mapping screen. “Take me there.”The car moved towards the closed gate. The gate opened by itself
Gideon dashed there and pounced Travis on the face. “That fake video is your work.”The CEO Moore was so mad that he slapped Gideon twice. “Is disgracing me not enough for you? Why on earth do you want to ruin me completely?”“Please, try to understand me. We are innocent. The only person I suspected was this wicked Travis. We need to imprison him for tarnishing our image. He made me take my clothes off in public that day and today he disgraced us with fake videos.”Calvin grabbed the collar of Travis, his red eyes almost popped out of his eyes. “I was right. You are behind the fake video, confess now or you rot in jail.”CEO Moore pushed Calvin away and clenched his other fist as he took out his phone, dialing the phone number of a police officer. “I make sure you live the easiest life I didn’t enjoy during my childhood. Is this how you would repay? You must not step into my house to take a pin, and I would go against anyone who offers to help you.“I can tell your intention is to br
Mr. Garry flares his furious face to Gideon. "You are a disgraceful and a bastard son. The only way for you to avoid my wrath is to stay away from me."Gideon covered his face with his palms as he burst into tears. Raising his head, he pointed his finger at Travis. "I don't know what he did to me that day I stripped off my clothes at the bank. He also uploads fake videos to take revenge because his girlfriend broke up with him and dated Calvin. Dad, please trust me. I can never do such abominable things.""I have already left his girlfriend alone, he just wants to destroy my life. We are saying the truth and nobody believes the truth. Please, you are our last hope," Calvin said."Hold your deceptive lips. I invited him to your wedding," CEO Moore said, beating his chest. "Only a foolish person would believe you.""Please tell the truth. It's not possible to invite a delivery boy to my wedding, Dad.""Never call me your dad. A shameless and deceptive child can never be my son.""You gu
Travis looked at Jane. "She was right. Is that enough or I should say more?""Are you not ashamed of yourself?" Jane asked, looking around to make sure people were hearing. When her eyes met people's, she laughed and, as if it was contagious, the people laughed too."I've never met a brainless, poor man like you. Think of this, you got an admission from the university. You can't afford its fees and still have the gut to accept it and later drop out after wasting money."You didn't learn your lesson. You continue to repeat the same foolishness. Instead of you to buy seven used clothes for 5 dollars at a local shop, you come where your salary can't afford to buy a singlet."Travis let out a heavy sigh. "Must you compare my past to my present?""Your past is even better than your present. You look good back then when other students often give you their leftovers food."A rich man stepped in and smiled as every eye was on him. Jane and the other saleslady left Travis to attend to the rich
Jane exchanged a shocking glance with the other saleslady as Manager Brock rose, darting out with others. “Something is wrong with my eyes. Who did you see?” Jane asked. The other saleslady put her hands on her head, regretting the way they treated Travis before she hurried after the manager, leaving Jane wondering in her unclear and unbelievable thoughts. Travis leaned his back on his car and watched them rushing to him. “Afternoon sir. We’re honored to have you here. How may we help you?” Manager Brock asked with a soft tone as he struggled to stop himself from remembering the way he sent Travis outside. “Don’t bother yourself. I’m waiting for your CEO to attend to me,” Travis said. “We aren’t worth attending to you, but we would like to entertain you. Can you please enter the high-class room first?” “Thank you, but I am fine staying here.” Manager Brock goes on his knees. “Please don’t be fine staying here, you are too important to stay outside. I can make all the customers
Augustus shed tears of joy as he leaned his back on the wall of Private Key bank. He went there to confirm his account balance because he thought he might have received a fake alert from the unknown master.The notification he received didn't show the master's name or account number. All he saw was 95 billion dollars.Augustus had thought he would never forgive Liam and Mrs. Morrison, but the happiness that was flowing within him made him forget the pain of how they treated him badly.If not for old Mrs. Morrison, who took everything he owned, the master might not make him a billionaire.Augustus called the private number back but it failed. He then went to the restaurant to have a good meal and then used the opportunity to relax and think of what he would use the money for.The first thought that crossed his mind was of his daughter. He must take her out of Mrs. Morrison's house so that he can show her love he failed to do since her childhood.Days went by and weeks went by. Liam tri
After getting home and relaxing for some moments, Mr. Williams checked his wristwatch and rose as Stella offered Mrs. Morrison a herbal tea.“I will be going home now. I have an important meeting to attend.”“Thank you very much, Mr. Williams, for being there for me on bad days. I appreciate it. God will repay you in abundance,” Mrs. Morrison said.Mr. Williams smiled. “You are always welcome.”The moment Mr. William left, Mrs. Morrison started the topic with Master.“Augustus, what are you hiding from me? Which master are you?”Augustus sighed. If he says the truth, who would believe the truth anyway? What is the point of saying it?“Mom is talking to you, Augustus,” Liam added.“I’m not the master that Mr. Lucian is talking about,” Augustus said.“Then you might have some connection with that master,” Mrs. Morrison asked.“I don't want to be repeating myself, Mom. I cannot hide from you.”“The way you show courage at Mr. Lucian’s company depends on someone or something,” Liam said.
Augustus frowned as he knelt before Mr. Lucian and said nothing.He can only force himself to knee, but can't force himself to beg. He had made up his mind that Mr. Lucian deserved the punishment for beating Chloe.“I expect you guys to support me. He deserves it and we shouldn't care. I'm not afraid and won't beg him,” Augustus said and rose.“We're not here to spoil his things. He had every right to take us to jail now. The only thing we can do is to find the money,” Mr. William said.“We won't find any money, and he must release Granny now,” Augustus said and looked more aggressive.“Calm down please, Dad,” Stella said.“I don't have time for rubbish people. What I said is what I will stand on. I will not release Mrs. Morrison till he pays $3,000,000. In fact…” He pointed to Stella while looking at his other security men. “Take his daughter too and send the rest out of my company. I don't want to see any of them except if he comes with my money. And I have increased the amount to $
Chloe slightly opened her eyes on the hospital bed and was transfixed by the faces of her family sitting beside her."She has woken." Liam, the only person who didn't sleep last night, swiftly rubbed his eyes. He relaxed his shoulders on the chair and took a deep breath. He had been watching the rising breath of his daughter since last night to be sure she was alive and, at the same time, was furious about what Mr. Lucian did to her.Old Mrs. Morrison opened her eyes ajar and stopped Liam from grappling with Chloe's hand. "I understand your feelings, but let her rest."Liam then hugged Mrs. Morrison and sobbed like a small child. "Mr. Lucian is so wicked. I thank God my daughter hasn't married him. He is going to regret it. He would die in prison."Others were woken by Liam's mourning voices and were relieved to see Chloe sitting up."This isn't the right moment to cry," Mr. Williams said as he checked his wristwatch. "Now she is fine, what should we do next?"Old Mrs. Morrison looked
Chloe wore a blue gown early in the morning and went to Travis's door, knocking. "Open the door, Travis." She gave Travis a rate-me sort of smile as he opened the door. Travis widened his eyebrows. "Hey. You are so beautiful like a morning glow." Chloe hissed. "I want you to tell me I am ugly. I want to fail. Give me ten minutes." She hurried back to her room and changed into a black skirt and white top. She knocked on Travis's door again. "How do I look now?" Travis took a deep sigh. "Don't you look in the mirror?" "Just tell me how I look." "I won't lie. You become more pretty." "Two minutes please." Chloe went back to her room. She wore her vest, jeans, and cap, looking like a tomboy. The moment Travis saw her coming, he burst into laughter. And without asking how she looked, she took Travis's laughter as a way of telling her she was ugly. But no, Travis wanted to tell her to wear the first blue gown because the vest revealed more of her alluring face. Stella went to Trav
The Morrison family gathered to talk about their huge debts and about bringing Mr. Lucian back."The first solution is to send Travis away," Liam said."I don't see anything wrong with what Travis did. He hadn't collected any salary. He can't afford new clothes. I'm sorry to say the problem was Mr. Lucian himself. He wanted to use the opportunity to marry your daughter. He is too old for her," Augustus said. Liam, who sees this as an opportunity to have a strong connection with Mr. Lucian hated what Augustus said last. But he had to hold himself from going against Augustus in the presence of his children so that they wouldn't detect his hidden motive. Liam then kept quiet. It's not because he didn't know what to say, but because he didn't want to say too much so that his plan wouldn't be ruined by Augustus.Old Mrs. Morrison focused on her breathing as instructed by one yoga teacher to reduce stressful thoughts. "Are we here to argue?" Old Mrs. Morrison asked."I explained what he
"You guys are reducing me to a means to an end. I'm not important in this family. I'm just reduced to a helper," Mr. Lucian said in anger."It's not what you think, Mr. Lucian." Old Mrs. Morrison quickly sipped her herbal tea, a remedy to reduce a heart attack. The anger of Mr. Lucian's face almost gave her high blood pressure. Since Mr. Lucian was her last hope. She would do whatever it took to cool him down, even if it would take her to send Travis away.Mr. Lucian pointed at Travis. "Then why did this riffraff bring me coffee? See how he dressed. He didn't even comb his hair. I'm very sure he didn't have his bath today..."The noise Stella heard made her dart into the guest room. She knelt before Mr. Lucian because she didn't want him to punish Travis. "It was my fault. I should have brought it. Please punish me instead."Mr. Lucian rose and stormed out without listening to what Mrs. Morrison had to say. Mrs. Morrison swiftly asked the people to beg him because he was her last hope
"I would let you go peacefully if you promise me you won't contact her again," Travis said."Yes, I promise," Arthur said with a sincere voice."You can go.""Thank you very much." Arthur rose and hurried away.When Travis and Bella were going back to the car, Travis noticed Bella didn't want to talk to him. Travis couldn't decipher and so he asked."You told him not to contact her again," Bella said. Her anger showed more through her voice than through her cool face."That's what you want.""When did I tell you that? I can tell that you also want to date Stella."Now that Travis understood Bella was jealous, he had nothing else to say than to say he was sorry."You are free like her, but I don't expect you to let the guy go without being punished for comparing me to Stella. I defended you and you defended who you love. You didn't see me as an important person. Don't talk to me again."And Travis's silence afterward fuels her anger more. They got into the car and went home.When Stell
Bella drove her car closer and then realized it was him. This was the second time she saw Travis doing great things she couldn't believe he was capable of. What kind of person is Travis? Bella inquired curiously before coming out of the car. "Hey, Travis!" Travis was surprised to see her and, at the same time, was scared. He shouldn't have asked the grand system for help if he knew Bella would see him. Travis quickly thought of what to say to bail himself out of Bella. Telling people how he fought today was the last thing he wanted Bella to announce to anyone. "Hey, Travis!" Bella repeated, since Travis looked away the first time she called him. Travis turned to her with a forced smile like a Kong fu student to their master while the men on the floor were groaning. Bella didn't care if the men rose and attacked them, because she had already trusted that Travis would save her. Travis, on the other hand, was rubbing his head as if to let her know they pounced on his head so th
