What was the thing Edric wanted the most?
Grinning to himself, Ryan thought, ‘I want to expose every crimes Edric ever do in his entire life.’
In a matter of seconds, TEETS’s mechanical voice rang in his head as the transparent dark panel floated before his eyes.
[New objectives have been submitted.]
[Objective Six: Expose Edric Ahsford’s crimes.]

[You have one on-going mission.]

[Time Left: 8 hours 34 minutes.]

The Revenger's System 118. Ruined Date
The clock showed 09.34, but nobody cared about that.Moon bright, hanging high above the skyscrapers of New York, lighting the rooftop restaurant in a soft glow. The night air sent a chill down their spine, reminding them that fall was near. Colorful disco lights here and there, clashing softly against blue and pink drinks on their hands. Music blared, sending a slow rhythm of oldies jazz.However, nobody also paid attention to any of that.Particularly, for Marissa.Tonight, this rooftop restaurant was fully reserved to host a party for her friend’s 35th marriage anniversary. Ferry and Rosanda clearly spent money for it, and she would enjoy every penny, like all guests should do.Besides, she could ignore all of the fuss in favor of giving the handsome man in front of her the attention he deserved. “It must be exciting, flying all over the world to sing in big theaters like you, Rhome.”The man in a black and soft purple t
The Revenger's System 119. Cheater, Cheater
The helicopter ascended to the night sky, leaving Ryan and Violet behind.Now, all eyes of the guests in the rooftop restaurant reserved for a 35th marriage anniversary party turned to them. Curious, as a hundred questions hang in the air. They didn’t ask, not specifically, not when Violet looked like an angry volcano ready to burst into explosion.A pair of blue eyes narrowed into a glare, sharp and cold, unlike the heated rage bubbling inside of her. Violet’s steps were sure, heavy with the decision she had to make on the spot. Her family’s well-being was at stake. If she make the wrong choice, then it’d be on her.However, the moment she laid eyes on her goal, she felt like ice-cold water was poured all over her.In the far corner of the rooftop restaurant, her mother was sharing a round table with a man in a black and purple tuxedo. She had to give it to her mother, though. Even when he looked a little older than her father, th
The Revenger's System 120. Spoiler Alert
The rooftop restaurant was in a static hectic if that was even a word. All the guests’ eyes were on both of the Crowne couples, much to the host’s annoyance. However, no one could resist this juicy piece of gossip that surely will rock the world tonight. Or at least the social circle they were in. “Look, my pretty lady,” Rhome said, then cursed himself when he realized what he had just said, “I mean, Marissa,” he cleared his throat, “I know that you have adult children already, I just don’t know that you are still in a marriage with your husband.” “Well, not for long.” “Oh, that’s a relief,” Rhome let out the breath he held back. But unlike him, the reaction from Marissa’s daughter was far worse. Slamming her hand on the dining table, Violet exclaimed, “You what?!” Sighing, Ryan focused on the heated conversation played before his eyes again. “Say that again, Mom!” Marissa didn’t back down. She held Viol
The Revenger's System 121. Like Mother, Like Daughter
"So, what?"Ryan looked at his wife, sitting in the back seat beside him. He just shrugged, wondering if discussing about her mother's affair with a stranger present near them was right.They were in a taxi. The driver was old, with grey hair and thick eyeglasses. But that didn't mean he had a hearing impaired. After all, he was still carefully driving at a steady speed."What? Why are you shrugging?" Violet pressed further, wanting to get to the bottom of this."You really want to talk about your mother now?""Yes, is that even a question?"They heard a small laugh from the driver. "Oh, please don't mind me. I will never talk about it to anyone."Violet raised one of her eyebrows, "Hear that? So, what?"He sighed, slumping on his seat. He really preferred not to talk about it now, but who was he to speak?"Okay," Ryan breathed out, "What do you want to do now?""I honestly don't know."He rolled his brown
The Revenger's System 122. Jared and Florent Share, What?
Heading to the Crowne residence, Ryan was greeted by the cold high fence that separated the private property from the world. He had called Cinos earlier, so the gate was already open to welcome them.Though, truthfully, he wondered why they didn’t install an automatic gate already. But then he remembered. They specifically didn’t spend money for that because he used to be there, opening and closing the gate at all hours, acting as their slave to be treated with no care in the slightest.They both sighed in relief because the reporters that camped outside the gate had gone without a trace. Perhaps they were bored from the lack of any news from them, or they got another Hollywood star and young millionaire out there making a scene.Either way, it was a good news for both of them. Now, they could go back and forth without any worry or annoyance from the pestering paparazzi.Slowing down to a stop, they got out of the car and stepped to the front
The Revenger's System 123. Your Mother's Cheating
The next day, Ryan and Violet returned to the Crowne residence to finish their business.Unlike last night, Jared and Florent were there to greet them this time.“Hey, you finally come here. It’s nice that you here,” Jared hugged his younger sister, all the while glaring at Ryan over her shoulder. “Although, do you really have to bring a pesky little bollock with you?”Violet hugged him back, not bothering to defend Ryan in front of Jared. “I was here last night, but you’re not home.”In retaliation to Jared’s lack of regard for Ryan, she ignored Florent’s presence. She already said that she didn’t want to meet him in the near future, so she would just think of not seeing that smug face. Even if Florent was right in front of her.Being glared at, Florent shifted on his feet, uncomfortable at being the recipient of such an infamous glare from Violent Violet. He knew about her moniker
The Revenger's System 124. One Presidential Suite, Please
The sound recording played out. ‘You know nothing of my sacrifice to marry your father, Violet. So, don’t mind my business. I don’t care what he do now, but I’m with another man now. You will not disrespect us by talking about your father.’ It ended shortly after, leaving a gapping silence in its wake. ‘I’m with another man now.’ It was revolting. Nauseating, like a worm that crawled out of an old, buried can. Sitting with a crossed leg beside him, Violet merely rolled her eyes. “We have to stop mom.” “Stop your mother from doing what?” They all turned to the door, seeing who just said that. Robert was standing there with an expectant look on his face. One hand gripping a suitcase, while the other clenched in a fist, shaking by his side. “What did your mother do?” Ryan smirked, eyes wide with joy. “Oh, you wouldn’t believe it, my dear father-in-law.” “Be careful with your word, you lying scum. I will not have you wreak more havoc to the family I built and protect with my own
The Revenger's System 125. Hotel Raid
“I-I’m sorry…” the pretty receptionist stammered, “Did you say, the successor of Ashford Group?”Ryan narrowed his eyes. He really didn’t want to be involved with that whole other can now. “What about it?”Julia squinted her eyes and looked at Ryan from head to toe. She did this a few times just to be sure, scrutinizing his face for several seconds more. Then, she gasped and stepped back in response, holding a hand on her mouth.A couple seconds later, she smoothed her surprised expression to a neutral one. She put on a smile, stretching over her bold-colored lips.Clearing her throat, Julia said, “I am so sorry for that, sir.” Her eyes were pleading. “I was not aware that you are Mr. Rayven Ashford. Again, I am so sorry for my behaviour earlier, sir.”The four Crownes looked at Julia and Ryan back and forth, noticing the incredible detail of change in front of them. Fin
