The Legendary Hairfall System CHAPTER 21
Anne’s brother-in-law Donovan was at his office.After he finished his proceedings at the court, he was talking with some clients. “Why would you stupidly give all your gold to your wife? Now, she ran to her parents’ home and is not willing to come back. How are we supposed to get our gold back when there’s no proof that she’s taken the gold?”“Please do something, sir,” the man and his parents together begged him. “That two pounds of gold was all we had. Please help us.”Donovan sighed. “Fine. I’ll help you if you give me ten percent commission.”“T-Ten percent?”“That’s the base fee any lawyer takes,” Donovan raised his voice. “You want me to take twenty or thirty percent then?”“N-No, sir. Ten percent will do.”“Hmph, I will get your gold back, but you need to make sure to do everything as I say,” Donovan told them, to which they nodded their heads multiple times.He then told his assistant lawyer to write up a petition file by adding a lot of lies, mixed with some truth. For inst

Jake came home just as it got dark.He had the driver carry the bed upstairs and put it in Anne’s room.Anne wasn’t home, but her sister and brother-in-law were there. He tipped the driver 30 dollars extra for helping him with carrying the bed upstairs.He did it right in front of Verna and Donovan so they could see it.After the driver left, Jake said, “A group of thugs came to the place I work at, but they wound up in jail. Another group appeared on my way home, and I sent them fleeing for their lives. So, next time, I hope my enemies send thugs that have spines.”“What are you talking about?” Verna frowned.“If you know, you know,” Jake said and then went upstairs.“What was that all about?” She looked at her husband. “Did you do something?”“Just wanted to scare him a little,” Donovan replied. “Didn’t think he’d be able to scare the gangsters. He’s more dangerous than I thought.”“If gangsters don’t work, then we should rely on the police instead,” Verna opined. “If we frame him w

“You didn’t give him the money for the couch, right?” Verna asked her sister while eating dinner.“Sis, I told you that I don’t have any money to give him,” Anne replied a bit annoyedly. “He bought food yesterday and even filled my car with gas. Today, he bought a couch for himself.”“When you break up with him, don’t let him take that couch away,” Verna said.“H-How can I do that?” Anne shook her head.“You silly girl. He’s staying in this house for free!” Verna sort of glared at her. “If you can’t even use others a little bit, then you will never survive in this world! Do you think I’ll always be there to look after you? You’re going to marry someone and lead life in a different place sometime in the future.”“I know, but…” Anne still felt that she didn’t deserve to take another person’s belonging. It just felt wrong to her, even though the idea of taking that convertible couch was tempting.Verna then said, “Use protection but don’t take contraceptives. They bring nasty side effec

“Jake Goodheart?” Tessa looked at the wanted poster and paused for a second. “What about him?”“You know what I want,” Melvyn replied with a calm composure.“Delma went to such great lengths to find him, Brother,” Tessa said. “Why do you want to mess with her happiness?”“Tessa, I know you don’t want to be just the fifth daughter of Blake family,” Melvyn replied. “If I, the only son of the Blake family, wishes so, your status in the family can rise quickly. You can stand next to Big Sister Trisha.”“But I want my status to grow because of my own credit,” Tessa said. “However, I could use some boost. As long as my help will not hurt Delma, I don’t mind aiding you.”“No, it won’t hurt her. We’ll only be dealing with this bug,” Melvyn put his finger on top of the wanted poster, and it burned into crisp powder without even flames being seen by others.“D-Don’t use your powers in public,” Tessa hissed at him in a low voice.“I’m just mad, that’s all,” Melvyn loosened his tie a little bit.

Tessa was driving home. “That bastard didn’t give me any other name. Was it really Brother Melvyn? Melvyn sent that thug? No, he’s not that clumsy. He’s capable of doing such a cruel thing, but he wouldn’t execute it this poorly. It must be one of my sisters. Those selfish cunts really hate that I, the youngest daughter, get more love and attention from my brother and my parents.“They know that Melvyn would be after Jake Goodheart, so they want to drag me into their mess somehow. If I carelessly make a move, then I will get my hands burnt.“In the worst-case scenario, my brother and sisters are all working together in this. I have to be really careful.”Her four sisters were pretty crafty and influential, so Tessa felt all the more need to be cautious before making a decision on how she should proceed.She nervously bit on her nails. She hadn’t done that in a while.“Whom should I meet first?“Delma or Jake?”She thought about it.“I don’t know what Jake is up to , so I think it’s be

At Hamilton’s mansion.The ten o'clock sun was warmer than usual during this winter.“You’re telling me that forty tons of our gold bullions have magically gone missing during transport,” Elmond was sitting under a gazebo in the garden and was feeding the pigeons while talking to seven male workers standing before him.“I have great respect for truck drivers,” Elmond added, “but only as long as they do their job properly. I trusted your company and gave the transport deal, but you do this to me.”“I-If we wanted to steal from you, sir, we would have done it discreetly, sir,” the head of the travel agency said.Elmond glanced at his chief captain Drake. “How should we reward them for their work?”“W-We don’t need any wages since we couldn’t finish the job,” the head of the agency hurriedly said.“We can give them lots of bullets for making gold worth billions disappear,” Drake voiced his mind aloud.“No, since they like gold so much,” Elmond was calmly staring at those workers who were

The next morning.Anne woke up and suddenly checked her clothes. Everything seemed alright.Jake didn’t seem to have done anything to her last night.She felt disappointed for some reason.“I wish he did something. Anything. How can he not do anything at all? Am I not attractive?”“Mm?” She saw that Jake was in the bathroom.She quickly came to the couch and checked on its quality. “What the… why is it not as cushiony as I thought?”She lay down on the bed and rolled around.“On second thought, this is strangely comfortable,” she thought.Just then, the bathroom door opened.Jake saw her rolling like a cat relaxing in sunlight. “What are you doing?”“N-Nothing,” Anne felt goosebumps all over. “I was just checking the quality of the couch, that’s it.”“Huh, and why would you do that? Are you planning on sleeping on that couch soon?”“Ha-ha, you sure like to joke.”“I like to kiss as well,” Jake said.Anne’s heart fluttered for a second.“Do you want another kiss, babe? Just like the da

Layla was taken to the hospital.After a quick diagnosis, the doctor told them, “Your daughter has a fatty liver.”“W-What?” Donovan and Verna were shocked. “How can a child have a fatty liver?”“It’s a non-alcoholic fatty liver which comes because of a careless diet,” the doctor said. “She must be consuming lots of sugary content like ice creams and juices, right?”Donovan and Verna looked at each other and frowned. They were evidently guilty.“It’s curable, right, Doctor?” Anne nervously asked.“With proper diet and exercise, she can reverse the damage done to the liver,” the doctor replied, “but it takes time, and you shouldn’t push her too much. Just make sure to bring her to the hospital once every month so we can keep track of her condition. It’s going to cost you a few thousand dollars per year, but since you’re both lawyers, you shouldn’t have a problem with money. Just make sure she doesn’t eat anything with sugar in it for a while. Fruits are an exception.”Donovan and Verna

Later that evening.In the southern mountains of Salem city.Delma was standing at the mountain top, staring at the sunset.A helicopter was flying by. Trisha jumped down and plummeted through the air like a falcon and stomped down onto Delma.Delma lifted her forearm and blocked the vicious kick. “Krgh,” Delma ground her teeth.The ground beneath her cracked and caved in, creating a big crater around her.From a distance, it looked like a part of the mountain top dented.“You are so angry because I bullied your sisters a little bit,” Delma forcibly pushed Trisha back with brute force. “Then how much more angry should I be for what your brother and sisters did to my fiance?”“You equate my sisters with some random low life trash?” Trisha floated in the sky above Delma.“He’s not trash. You know that he removed your brother’s hair, don’t you?” Delma retorted in a cold voice.Trisha’s eyes slightly widened. “I see. So, it was that bastard on the wanted poster who dealt such a blow to my

At Cavil Insurance company.Lily Blake was talking with a big client. Her voice convinced the clients to take insurance for their upcoming casino projects.After the clients paid her with a check and left, Lily was kissing the check. “10 million dollars… this is just the start. I’ll suck more from you guys in the future.”The door opened, and an unexpected person entered the room.“D-Delma?” Lily was surprised. “What are you doing here? Did you finally come here to get insurance for your Ordinance Park?”“Why did you revoke the fire insurance for Better Biscuits?” Delma asked.Lily frowned in a bit of anger. “It’s none of your business, though.”“I won’t ask you a third time,” Delma said, her voice turning hoarse. “Why did you do it?”“You think I am afraid of you?” Lily uttered in a commanding tone. “Get lost from my room!”Her voice created hypnotizing sound waves, which could easily control the people’s minds, but Delma just dashed forth and grabbed Lily’s throat and lifted her up.
CHAPTER 62
The Loverace restaurant was known for dating among youngsters, especially because it would check through the identity of the lovers and only allows them dates if they have never dated anyone else at that restaurant before.So, everyone dating in this restaurant was guaranteed to have never dated others in that same restaurant before.This may be a small gesture, but this was well received by the society, so Loverace restaurant blossomed over the years.Currently, Davis had been sitting here for over an hour.He had already ordered the items but told the waiter to wait until his date arrived. He already paid the bill for the items he ordered, so the manager didn’t mind even if Davis was just sitting at the table.It might have been an issue if Davis was ugly, but Davis was a handsome man. So, the manager didn’t mind it.“Is she really not going to come?” Davis felt down.Just as he was telling the waiter to pack the items he ordered, Tessa entered the restaurant, wearing her business s

Later that night.Delma finished her talks with a few people from the Aeson family.They came to an agreement and then took the Bouquet System from the repository.The bouquet system was capable of giving skills related to flowers and herbs, which would help them in cultivation, extraction of scents and do much more beneficial things.“After one decade, you will bring the system back to the Hamilton family,” Delma told them. “That’s the agreement. Don’t forget it.”“Of course. We, the Aeson family, never break our contracts,” they replied and then got to work.They started treating Jake, using their healing skills, which helped them remove the crystalline shell that covered Jake.However, in this process, Jake lost his skin completely.He looked like lab material that was completely skinned.Delma was finding it hard to watch, but she didn’t close her eyes or look away.The whole process took three hours, and Delma was there throughout.“Jake didn’t get his consciousness back. When wi

Jake’s sister, Prisha, was laughing so hard it sounded like she was snorting.The popcorn fell from the bucket.“I expected this much, but I didn’t think she’d outright lie to get rid of you before your relationship even started,” Prisha wiped the tears from her eyes. “Oh, man. I haven’t laughed this much in a long time.”Davis appeared visibly embarrassed. “Am I not good-looking enough?”“Well, looks alone aren’t enough for some women,” Prisha said. “You should first know her preferences before you approach her. Otherwise, you’d make a fool of yourself. ‘I’m sorry. I have a boyfriend.’ Haha, it’s funny no matter how many times I see women rejecting men with that move.”“Huh, what’s so funny about it?” Davis felt annoyed.“Obviously, she was lying.”“What?” Davis was startled. “You think so?”“Of course. She didn’t even ask you why you called. She assumed it, and then cut you off,” Prisha opined. “She didn’t treat you badly but treated you indifferently. That’s a common approach we us
CHAPTER 59
In the right wing of the hamilton’s mansion, the lead doctor and the scientist of the Hamiltons put Jake in a cylindrical vessel full of translucent liquid that bubbled and melted the black scales on his body.“Will he live?” Drake asked.“It’s a miracle that he isn’t already dead,” the doctor replied. “Nothing is guaranteed until he opens his eyes.”“Is that so?” Drake felt a bit down. “If we had reached there a little early, we could have saved him.”“Don’t worry about the past but plan for the future,” Elmond said. “Tighten the security around the mansion, even if it means we have to hire outside forces.”“You think Melvyn will attack this mansion?” Drake wondered. “If he fails, he loses everything. I don’t think he will take that big of a gamble. Unless he’s sure of his victory, he will not attack. Otherwise, he should have attacked us long ago.”At that time, Delma entered the chamber and looked at the glass vessel in which Jake was there.“How’s he doing?” Delma asked.“Nothing
CHAPTER 58
Melvyn came to the sky castle wearing a hood that covered the top half of his face.The head butler immediately knew something was wrong, so he didn’t dare approach Melvyn.One maid carelessly approached Melvyn, “Young Master, you forgot to take your mobile.”She was handing him a mobile, but he slapped her with the back of his hand without even looking at her.Her head turned 180 degrees.She died instantly.Melvyn entered the castle in a hurry, not wanting to talk to anyone right now. He just rushed into his room and locked the door.He stood in front of the mirror and pulled the hood down, which revealed his face which looked comedic now.It felt strange because he was a supremely handsome fellow, but with just his hairs gone, he looked like a joker now.For someone who had cared about every single hair on his head, losing all the hair was a big blow to his ego, confidence, and overall mental health.Unable to look at himself in the mirror, he punched and destroyed it. “I can’t bea

Jake became a crystalline statue.Just then, Delma and Drake, the chief captain of Hamilton’s forces, arrived there through the back entrance.“Oh, no,” Drake frowned. “We were a step late.”Seeing Jake’s statue, the veins in Delma’s neck bulged. “Melvyn…” she leaped forth.“Don’t, Delma! That fog is dangerous even for you!” Drake shouted.“I’ll kill you right here and now!” Delma threw a punch at the fog. The sheer air pressure from her punch blew the fog away in different directions.But the thought of Jake shattering away from the collateral damage made her suddenly stop.She grabbed Jake’s body and threw it toward Drake. “Take him to the mansion and get him treated!”“Can he still be saved?” Drake wasn’t sure because Jake looked like a crystal statue now.Delma threw a punch down at Melvyn’s chest, but he caught her fist before it hit him. His other hand was covering his face.“Go away, Delma. I don’t want you to see me like this,” Melvyn said. “I don’t want to see myself like thi

Jake was checking through the rest of the factory if anyone else other than the manager died or not.But he didn’t find any other corpse.While he was happy that he saved many people, he was also saddened by the fact that the person he had talked to most among the employees in the past five days died.Jake returned to the main office. He kept staring at the manager’s corpse. He didn’t know if he should move it outside or not.As he was hesitating, he suddenly looked around as the flames that were dying began to rise.“What the hell? Why are the flames rising?” Jake was startled, but then he felt a strong presence in the south, toward the backside of the factory.Since he got the soul shedding skill, he didn’t feel anything like this.And this was his first time feeling the soul energy coming from another person, as this was so concentrated.Without the system telling him, Jake knew that this person was bad news.Both of them walked toward each other, with Melvyn leaking out a hot aura
