The Hunchback Son-in-law Authority Transfer
The Duke. He was the second most powerful man in the Upper Avenue. He held a high position as commander of the city's security. Tall and built like a retired boxer, Duke glanced around the room, a satisfying smile on his face.Wherever he sets his foot in, everyone is expected to bow at his feet and pay their respects. He literally sees himself as a god. All mortals must worship the ground he walks on. It gives him a great sense of validation to see people fear and worship him. When his eyes landed on Logan his smile disappeared like smoke. Logan was enjoying his meal, his back turned to Duke. Logan didn't know there was a new comer. He was too absorbed in his meal to notice. "Shit!" Adam swore under his breath, sweat beads forming on his head. He reached out and tugged at Logan's sleeve. "Mr Logan, Mr Logan."Logan glanced down, surprised to find Adam bowing on one knee. "What's the matter?""Mr Logan, what are you doing?" Adam asked, his eyes wide from fear. "The Duke has a

"Guards, I order you to beat up Duke!" A moment of silence fell. Then Logan's orders compelled Duke's bodyguards to turn on him. They rushed at Duke, using their batons to beat the living daylight out of him. "You fools, what are you doing?" Duke screamed. "Wait, I'm your boss. You'd do as I tell you."But his cries fell on deaf ears. His bodyguards loyalty were now transferred to Logan. The other patrons watched the unfolding scene with hanging jaws. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Duke, the most feared man in the Golden city was now at the mercy of a stranger like Logan?Logan stood at the center, his aura flowing around him like a cloak. His powerful presence made everyone respect and fear him. The head manager approached Logan, keeping his head lowered. "Mr Logan. We are really sorry for the troubles Duke put you through. Your meal and stay at our restaurant is on the house.""No need, bring the cheque for my meals. I'll pay," Logan said, leaning forward a
The Hunchback Son-in-law Henri
Duke owned a mansion at Upper Avenue estate. It's one of the most exclusive districts in the Golden city. Logan was impressed by the towering pillars, the sprawling gardens, and the luxurious cars parked in the driveway. "Not bad," Logan thought to himself as the convoy pulled up outside Duke's mansion. "I can get used to this."An elderly butler hurried forward to greet whom he thought was Duke. "Welcome back, Master Duk—" his words trailed off as he saw Logan. "I think you mean, Master Logan," Logan said, stepping out of the car with a warm smile. "Don't fret, I'm your new master."The butler's eyes widened with confusion. "N-new master? That can't be right. What have you done to my master?""Let's just say, he's out of action for the time being," Logan said, his voice calm. "However, as long as I'm in this house, you answer to me."The butler couldn't speak. He was very confused about what was happening. Then he bowed slightly and stepped aside for Logan to enter.

The Hunchback Son-in-law Poisoned
Logan set down the spoon carefully. "Poisoned, huh?" He said a small smile on his lips. "Who posioned the food?"[Detected source of hostility: Henri and the chauffeur]Logan stroked his chin, his mind racing. "So they still hasn't accepted my authority. Those two must be very loyal to Duke."[Notice: Poison can be nullified]Logan's eyes widened in surprise. "For real? That is efficient."He took the spoon and ate the food. He waited for a reaction but nothing happened to him. [Poisonous substance detected][Poison Nullified]Logan smiled. "I'm sure glad I have this system. I wouldn't have known what to do without it."He stood up and stretched his back. "First, a bath."While Logan showered, he thought about what to do with Henri and the chauffeur. He didn't intend to stay long in Duke's home. Duke's level was too poor. He must advance if he wants to get to the top. Logan clenched his hands, a determined look in his eyes. "I'll pay the governor a visit."
The Hunchback Son-in-law The governor's office
Hoover pulled up outside the governor's office. "We're here, Mr Logan," Hoover said, his voice tiny. He still couldn't grasp how it was possible Logan was still alive even after driving this far. Logan studied him. "Hoover, I'd appreciate it if you address me as Master Logan. If you won't submit to my authority, then I'll get rid of you."Logan's tone was so cold, Hoover felt a chill ran down his spine. "Very well, Master Logan."Logan waited as Hoover opened the rear door and bowed slightly. Logan stepped out of the car, he studied the tall building of the governor's office. "This is it," he thought. "I've got seven days to pull this off, but I want to get this over with as soon as possible."Taking a deep breath, he ventured towards the building. The receptionist in the lobby watched Logan closely as he approached her. He was dressed in Duke's office suit. Logan had been thrilled he could find one of Duke's suit that fits him. "I'm here to see the governor," Logan said as he
The Hunchback Son-in-law Ring
The governor frowned at Logan's statement. "Is that a threat?""It's a warning," Logan replied. "I honestly don't want to destroy you but I will if you become an obstacle to my goal."The governor flared. "You do realize you're surrounded with guns. One word from me and you'll be gone like smoke."Logan decided to play his trump card. "Have you ever heard about the Dragon army?The governor frowned. "Who wouldn't know about the Dragon army? Where are you going with this?""The Dragon army destroyed the Kent family's island after they offended their New Dragon Commander. The Dragon Army are considered the number one most powerful forces on earth. They're literally superhuman.""You don't have to remind me," the governor snapped. "I'm well aware the Dragon army are a formidable force."Logan leaned forward, his eyes narrowed. "What if I told you, I'm the Dragon Commander? Would you believe me?""Impossible!" Duke yelled. "There's no way a filth like you can be the dragon commander."Log

[Congratulations, Quest Completed][You have successfully obtained a gold badge][Go to Inventory for your reward]Logan sat down on the stairs outside the governor's building. "Open Inventory," Logan commanded. A screen appeared displaying his reward.[A Gold badge][A Gold VIP Card][The revival Stone]Logan stared at his reward. The Revival stone. "What do I need a revival Stone for?"[The revival Stone: After user crushes the stone, he is given to ability to revive himself and others from death]"Is the system suggesting I might die?" Logan said, his expression sober. "I haven't given it much thoughts but I guess at some point in my quest for the top, I might encounter people who won't hesitate to kill me."Logan remembered the governors warning and sighed. "I guess I have no choice."Logan summoned the revival Stone to appear in his hand. The stone appeared. It was glowing a blue soft light with a strange ancient inscription on it.

Julius jaws hung open after Marcus slapped Logan. "You shouldn't have done that," he said quietly. "Silence!" Marcus barked at Julius."I'll say this just once," Logan said, raising his head to stare at Marcus. "I don't like people hitting me in the face."Julius scoffed. "Do you think I care? I'll hit you as many times as I want. If you've got a problem with that, then you're better off dead."The hall was suddenly surrounded by men in black suits, each yielding a weapon. Logan saw that he was trapped. There was no way out for him anymore. Despite his circumstances, he kept a cool demeanor. "Good," Julius said. "You've learnt to shut your mouth up, but I'm not done with you yet. You're facing the Elite council. Before we decide what to do with you, let's take a deep dive to why you wanted a gold badge."Logan answered truthfully. "I'm going to rise to the top of the Golden city and conquer it.

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

"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

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

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.

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
