Two of Arthur's bodyguards stepped into the room and, without hesitation, walked over to Cody, who had fainted in the corner and proceeded to drag him out of the room.

At the sight of this, everyone who was present felt a chill run down their spine, and a cold sweat began to drip from their forehead, not wanting to experience the same fate as Cody.

"Alright," Arthur said, breaking the silence that had descended upon the room.

"I'm not a fan of violence," Arthur said with a faint smile as if he didn't feel the least bit of remorse for his actions against Cody.

"However," Arthur continued, "I wouldn't hit Cody unless he had tried to attack me first. I hope you understand the situation at hand." His tone indicated that he felt his actions were completely justified.

Arthur had come to the realization that to make the changes he wanted, simply attempting to live in peace was not enough. He had to arm himself and be ready to fight if necessary; he was even prepared to serve The Underworld

    "Let me explain the strategies I have put together for this company," Arthur said confidently. "There's no need for you to worry about it. I'll also demonstrate why my assertion of becoming the CEO of this company is not just a lot of nonsense." Arthur meticulously prepared all the essential knowledge and data to respond to the questions asked by his employees. He was not, however, prepared to share this information with everyone, as he wanted to rid himself of certain people. "Nevertheless," he said firmly, "I will only divulge my strategies to those I deem suitable to realize my vision. I have already chosen them based on my criteria." "What do you mean by that, sir? Are you suggesting a mass layoff? I think this is too serious an issue to consider without consulting us, the executives of this company," someone responded to Arthur. "That's right, boss. You cannot make such an important decision without consulting with us first; it would only harm the company further." "You just

Meanwhile, thousands of other employees also watched intently from the giant screens in the building, their faces fixed in a mixture of awe and shock."Oh my god," someone said, their voice trembling. "Too many things happened today. I still can't digest everything." "However, I'm relieved I'm not one of those who got fired from this place," another added, a note of relief in their voice."Oh man, I still need this job.

But now, here he was, the sole proprietor of the distinguished enterprise, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he reflected on the remarkable transformation of his life. A broad grin spread across his face."Without the help of an extraordinary system that suddenly appeared in my life, none of these things would have been achievable for me.”[Hold off your thanks for now, Host]“System, for how long are you going to keep it a secret about who actually gave me this magical power, and why me? Who is your creator?”[Rather than grilling me with questions, Host, why don’t you spend yo

    On Saturday morning, after several arduous days of attempting to get the Brown Company back on track, Arthur and Alicia were traveling to attend a training session to refine some of the additional skills Alicia had requested from him some time ago."Why are you so eager to learn firearms shooting, Alicia?" Arthur asked as she settled in beside him in the luxury car. She was in a cheerful mood, making jokes and lightening the atmosphere."Are you sure about what you are doing?" Arthur said, his voice filled with concern. "I mean, learning to shoot means you're prepared to use firearms in your life, right? Even if you might need to use them in the future?"Arthur had chosen Alicia to be the head of his bodyguards, but that was when his problems weren't as serious as they are today. Now, these problems require him to be ready to confront The Underworld, which made him a bit uneasy about the potential risks he and Alicia might face on their missions.Arthur sometimes thought he should re

    Cosmo, a thirty-something man, stepped out of his vibrant red sports car. He had a t-shirt on, a pair of training pants, and a pair of glasses perched atop his face. His gaze shifted to a nearby luxury vehicle, and he uttered a soft whistle of appreciation as he walked closer. "Phew… Is this a Roll-Royce Silver Shadow II?" Being a car enthusiast, he quickly recognized the car. He took a few steps closer, examining it with admiration, and said with awe, "This is a car that only ten units exist in the world." Someone opened the car window, and Cosmo recognized Benno right away. "Huh?! Benno? Is that really you?!" he exclaimed in disbelief, as he hadn't expected to see Benno in that place. "Yes," Benno replied, his voice urgent. "Please get away from here immediately. You're acting very strangely just standing here watching this car like this." With that, he closed the window again. Cosmo looked surprised and said, "If he really is Benno, then I'm not surprised this car belongs t

    "Ah, Mr. Cosmo, thank you for your generous offer," Arthur said, trying to be polite to the owner. "However, I wanted to try it myself." "But I'm the owner, and I am also a professional athlete. I'm sure I can be of assistance," Cosmo insisted, his pride slightly wounded but still determined to demonstrate his expertise in the area. Alicia then turned to Cosmo, boasting of Arthur. "Did you know this guy is better than anyone? He's even better than a professional athlete!" "Hush, Alicia," Arthur said. He then looked to Cosmo. "Mr. Cosmo, I really believe I can do this myself. I don't want to trouble you. It would be best if you left and allowed us to continue practicing alone, okay?" "Are you kidding?" Cosmo asked with a chuckle. "I don't mind if you don't want me to train, but saying you're better than me is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?" He shook his head at their audacity, wondering if they really knew who he was and his background in shooting sports. Alicia then felt

    As the sun started to dip below the horizon, Arthur and Alicia remained at the shooting range, both in awe of Alicia's progress. Her face was still glowing with enthusiasm and excitement. "I can't believe how far I've come," She exclaimed, looking at Arthur with a proud smile. "You should be proud," Arthur replied, giving her an affectionate smile. "You've done an amazing job." She then took the gun back, rotating the weapon in her fingers with the familiarity of a long-time shooter, and fired at the target with extreme accuracy. Bang! "Whoa, I actually hit the target," Alicia exclaimed in surprise. She quickly put the gun back on the plate and, with an agility born from practice, pulled it back out and fired three quick shots. Bang! Bang! Bang! Each and every shot struck the target without a single miss. "Is it really possible that I'm already a pro after just one day of practice?" Alicia said softly in amazement, shaking her head. She finally felt satisfied that she had
