The Hunchback Son-in-law The women's club
Samantha stood up. "This is an outrage. Why would Ava send a man to our women's club meeting?"Logan didn't like her tone. "It's like I mentioned earlier, Ava is feeling very unwell. She couldn't bear to be absent so she sent me to represent her.""And who are you to Ava?" Jessica demanded, watching Logan closely. Logan didn't want to cause much trouble for Ava so he responded, "I'm a close friend of her father, Kim Taeyang.""You're friends with Kim Taeyang?" Catherine asked sharply as she studied Logan from head to toes. "I don't believe it.""You don't have to," Logan said politely. "I wouldn't be here if Ava didn't seemed unwell. It's her desire she partakes in this donation. I'd like to get down to business."The women club members exchanged looks then decided it wouldn't hurt to let Logan join them for a day. No one offered Logan a seat. He wandered over to an empty chair reserved for Ava and sat down. The meeting began promptly with the women talking about the donation they

"I am the Hunchback son-in-law, dating the Taeyang sisters," Logan announced. The club women all stood to their feet, their jaws hanging. "You're lying," Samantha said, her eyes shaking. "Tell me you're lying."Logan stared at her dead in the face. "Do I look like I'm lying?""You look nothing like what the media described," Catherine spat. Logan sighed in exasperation. "That's because the media doesn't know who I am. If they all know my identity, I wouldn't have enjoy my privacy.""Then why are you telling us?" Angela demanded, staring suspiciously at Logan. Logan shrugged. "Because you women piss me off. I'm trying to make a statement here. You said a lot of awful things about Ava and the Taeyang family. You must apologize."Jessica burst into laughter. "Seriously? You expect us to apologize to a lowly man like you? Logan, let's say we believe you're the hunchback son-in-law, what makes you think we'd apologize?"Catherine chimed in. "That's right. We don't rate you at all, Loga
The Hunchback Son-in-law Desmond
This was what Logan wanted. He deliberately provoked Catherine to activate the system. "I'm not going to repeat myself, you piece of trash," Catherine warned. "Get out or I'll make you Regret it.""Fine," Logan dug his hands in his pockets. "I'll go, but right after I punish you. You claim your boyfriend, Desmond is a surgeon, right?"Catherine planted her hands on her hips, her eyes arrogant. "What is it to you?""Oh, you'll see," Logan said, chuckling softly. Then he ordered. "System, initiate CCC."A screen appeared:[CORPORATE COLLAPSE COMMAND (CCC][Do you want to activate this skill?][Yes/No]Logan nodded. "Yes."[Mention the name of the cooperation/individual]Logan answered, "Desmond, Catherine's boyfriend."Catherine and the other women looked at Elin strangely. "What the hell is he doing?""It's seemed like he's mentally ill," Angela said. "I don't have time for this. Where are security?!" Samantha ranted.

"Logan," Catherine stopped infront of him, her breath hitching. "Logan, what did you do to Desmond?"Logan regarded her from head to toes. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't play dumb with me," Catherine shouted, balling her hands. "You're the anonymous messenger who sent those reports to Desmond hospital?"Logan frowned. "What reports, that wasn't me."Catherine nearly went nuts. "You literally ordered a system to do something to Desmond. I remembered every single word that came out of your mouth."Logan smiled. "Is that so? Well, for your information, I didn't send any report. I only gave out a command to teach you a lesson.""Your command is destroying Desmond's career," Catherine cried. "You should punish me instead. Desmond is innocent. He's going to lose everything because of you."Logan shrugged. "Why should I care if your boyfriend loses everything?"Catherine bite her under lip hard. "What should I do to make amends, Logan? Tell me, I'll do anything to appease y
The Hunchback Son-in-law The golden city
When Ava woke up, she was startled out of her wits. It was morning and Logan wasn't in sight. "Shit!" She jumped to her feet. "I overslept. The women's club must be mad at me."As she reached out for her phone, she was surprised to see numerous text messages from the women's club, apologizing to her. "What is this?" Ava asked, her eyes wide. "They're apologizing? What did they do?"As she read through the messages, she learnt they were gossiping about her and her family which tethered them to apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness. "I don't believe this," she exclaimed, ringing up her maid. "Hello, come straight to my room this instant."As she waited, she tried clearing her head. It didn't take less than a second for the maid to appear. "Good morning, Miss Ava," The maid greeted."What happened last night while I was asleep?" Ava demanded. "Well, Mr Logan told us not to wake you as he would be representing you at your women's club meeting. He insisted you deserve to rest.
The Hunchback Son-in-law The Register
"Welcome to the Golden city," Greg said."Thank you for taking care of me these last three days," Logan said. "I'll never forget you.""Think nothing of it," Greg said, then stared worriedly at him. "You don't have much money on you, do you?"Logan checked his income status, he only has 3 hours left before his penalty was lifted. Logan rubbed the back of his head shyly. "Actually I don't have a penny on me, but you don't have to worry about that. I can manage on my own."Greg shook his head. "You won't last long in the streets, son. Here, it's only $600 but at least it can get you a room for the night.""Really, Greg, you don't have to.""But I insist," Greg said, his tone grave. "You don't know what it's like in this city. The people are terrible. They're like monsters wearing human skin. I don't know how you planned to survive in this city but it'd be difficult for you to push through without money."Logan shook his head. "I appreciate the offer but no thanks. You've done enough fo
The Hunchback Son-in-law Upper Avenue
Dr Michael arrived an hour and half later. He was drenched in a raincoat. There was a rain storm outside. Logan studied him closely. He was a witty old man with grey hairs and beard, and sick small eyes. One look at him and Logan was reminded of a mad scientist. "This had better be good, Ginny," Dr Michael said, approaching the counter. "I drove all the way in this crazy storm to get here.""Quit winning old man," the girl said annoyingly. "I told you, it'd be worth it, didn't I?""You said that but I don't see anyone else but you," Dr Michael said frowning. "Don't even try to waste my time."Ginny rolled her eyes. "You must be blind or something. Look around you. There's that fella sitting alone over there. He's the one who's selling his kidney."Dr Michael turned around and that was when he saw Logan. Logan waved at him. "Yo."Dr Michael didn't return his greeting. "You're selling your kidney?""It's kinda complicated," Logan explained. "The girl and I had a bet. If I couldn't p
The Hunchback Son-in-law Dinner
The Upper Avenue wasn't what Logan expected it to be. It was just as any normal big city with tall sky scrappers and flashy cars. Logan's stomach rumbled like galloping horses. He groaned. "Shit, all those hours of waiting is taking a toll on me. I'm literally starving."He looked around himself. Two things were crucial to him at this moment, a good hotel to sleep and food. Logan decided to eat first. "System," he summoned. "Is there a place you can recommend me to eat?"The system appeared with a screen, recommending the best restaurants he should dine at. Logan raised an eyebrow. "These restaurants seemed pricy. Don't you have any other restaurants where I can just get a decent meal?"The system responded: [User must eat at the restaurant the system recommends]Logan made a stiff smile. "Doesn't look like I have a choice, eh?"The system didn't respond. Digging his hands in his pockets, Logan followed the map directions to the restaurant the system recommended. Ten Kings Fiv

Five months after, the Taeyang's wedding was finally hosted. Billionaires, celebrities, and influential figures from across the globe filled the pews. Logan stood at the pulpit, he was dressed in an expensive tailored suit as he waited for his brides. The grand doors of the church slowly swung open and the bride's started coming in. Ava, Yuna, Mi-young, Isabel, and Grace were all dressed in the finest wedding gown money could buy. Logan never thought they were this beautiful. They look like fallen angels. Kim Taeyang escorted them as they walked down the aisle together. He wore a proud look on his face. Kim Taeyang handed his granddaughters to Logan then returned back to his seat. The priest commenced the ceremony. "Dear beloved, we've all come today to witness the union of Logan and the Taeyang sisters in holy matrimony."The priest went further to start the vow taking. The Taeyang sisters formed a circle each holding each others hand. Logan took Ava's hand then Yuna's, com

Proposal
Logan knelt on both knees as he faced the Taeyang sisters. Ava, Yuna, Mi-young, Isabel and Grace surrounded him. "I know you probably hate me by now," Logan said. "I owe each and everyone of you an apology. I'm deeply sorry for abandoning you for six months. It was never my intention to stay away that long. I had to deal with things that I couldn't involve you in. That's why I didn't come back."Silence. The Taeyang sisters stared at him. Logan thought they would lash at him just like Grace did with him. But surprisingly, Ava stepped forward. "Logan, stand up."When Logan stood up and lifted his eyes to meet hers, he stiffened. There were tears in Ava's eyes. "Logan, you have no idea how much I've missed you. I thought you'd never come back. I'm happy you came."Isabel approached him. She was all smiles. "I also forgive you, Logan. We all do. It's been a messy six months, but we understood you had thing's you wanted to sort out by yourself."Logan looked down at her swollen belly

Promise
"I am Logan, the Taeyang sisters boyfriend," Logan declared. Tom Hankins face suddenly changed into a mask of hate. "So, you're the bastard Yuna keeps yapping about, huh?""I'm glad you've heard of me," Logan replied. "That makes things easier for both of us.""No it doesn't," Tom snapped. "You're all the Taeyang sisters talk about. I've tried repeatedly to court them but they're so obsessed with you it's sickening."Logan rubbed the back of his head, laughing embarrassingly. "Sorry you had to go through all that. I don't know how I did it either.""Don't feel sorry for me," Tom brawled. "The Taeyang family are facing a serious financial crises after you abandoned them. What are you going to do about it, boy?"Logan took a deep breath, then he spoke, "I've offered to buy Kim Taeyang's shares. I'll settle the company's debt and boost its stocks."Tom's laughter echoed in the room. "Wait a minute, You? This must be a sitcom. Where the hell are you going to get that kind of money, Loga

Tom Hankins
Taeyang groups was at the edge of collapsing. Tom Hankins, a wealthy business tycoon offered to buy Kim Taeyang's shares. With that comes a second price. He wants to marry three of the Taeyang sisters, Mi-young, Yuna and Grace. "Of course I declined," Kim Taeyang said as their cars pulled up outside Taeyang groups. "But Tom Hankins isn't the type of man to give up that easily. When he wants something he gets it."Logan and grace stepped out of the car and followed Kim Taeyang into the lobby. "He must think you're very desperate," Logan commented. "That's why he's piling up the pressure on you to sell since you're the major shareholder.""Left for me, I wouldn't sell," Kim Taeyang said. "But what about our shareholders, our investors and our clients? We need to think about what they want. Selling off my shares might just save the company but if I do that, I'll also be selling off my granddaughters."Logan didn't say anything as they approached the receptionist counter. The recepti

Debts
Logan felt very emotional. He had expected Kim Taeyang to hate him, but instead, Kim Taeyang forgave him and even welcomed him back. "Mr Kim," Logan's face hardened. "I promise you this, I'll fix this whole mess if it's the last thing I do."Kim Taeyang raised an eyebrow. "I know you're very incredible, Logan, but can you really?"Just as Logan was about to answer, the door opened and Grace stepped inside. She stiffened when she saw Logan. Then her eyes widened as she glanced at her grandfather and saw how well he was."I don't believe it," she rushed over to her grandfather and embraced him. "Grandfather, you've recovered. I thought I'd never see you again. Thank goodness you're still alive."Logan watched them as Kim Taeyang returned her bug with a reassuring kiss on her forehead. "It's okay, my pretty," he said. "I'm fine now. It's all thanks to Logan. He healed me."Grace broke her hug then casted her gaze at Logan. She wasn't smiling. Her countenance was dark. "I'm sorry, g

Divine healing
The gate opened in the streets of Seoul as Logan stepped out of the portal. "It's so good to be back," Logan said, breathing in the air. Then he frowned. "Something feels off. The air smells a bit crisp."Logan navigated his way through the busy side walk. "I hope I wasn't gone too long?"Suddenly, he stopped walking as he stood before a newspaper vendor. Something caught his eyes. It was the headline on the front page. Written in bold letters, Logan read out loud. "Taeyang family faces financial crises as Kim Taeyang battles illness?"Logan grabbed a copy and quickly skimmed through the article, his heart pounding. From Logan's finding, it was revealed that Kim Taeyang suddenly fell ill. Being the family's patriarch, his deteriorating health led to instability within the family businesses. The Taeyang conglomerate future now hangs in the balance as the Taeyang sisters and their few investors struggled to keep the company afloat. Logan's hands were shaking as he realized all the

Quest completed
Logan glanced at Thandolwethu out of the corner of his eyes. "You seriously want to do this?" He asked. Thandolwethu grunted. "Try me. I'm not playing around."Logan chuckled softly. "If you think you're going to win against me by blowing yourself up, then you're in for a surprise because I can't die."Thandolwethu scoffed. "As if.""I'll make you an offer," Logan said. "I'll let you live if you take me to the Mona Lisa. I promise not to hurt you.""You think I'll easily betray my mistress?" Thandolwethu said angrily. "For your information, I've sworn my loyalty to the Mona Lisa. You can't change my mind."Logan started walking towards the stairs. Thandolwethu stiffened in shock. "Why are you moving? I'll pull the strings if you take another step."Logan kept walking. It was as if he had gone deaf all of a sudden. Sweat beads formed on Thandolwethu's face as she cried out. "You bastard! Don't you fear death?"Logan was now ascending up the stairs. He glanced at her out of the corn

The final battle
Andrei pointed his finger at Logan. "By orders of the Mona Lisa, we are tasked to kill you. If you can make it out of the battle field alive, then take the stairs where Thandolwethu stands."Logan stared at Thandolwethu. He could tell she was skillful but that was all there is to her. There was nothing special about her. "Is that it?" Logan asked looking very confident. Andrei gritted his teeth. "You sound cocky but let me give you a warning. Don't underestimate Thandolwethu. She may look frail but she's a blood lusted killer."Logan shrugged. "I'll be the judge of that.""The stairs lead to the elevator. If by any chance, you survived Thandolwethu and killed her, you can take the elevator and head for room 204. The Mona Lisa would be waiting for you," Andrei said. Logan couldn't believe it. They were putting everything on the plate for him. All he had to do was defeat Andrei and Thandolwethu and the Mona Lisa was his. Just like that. Logan had an idea the Mona Lisa was settin
