The mad cook merely laughed. Lifting his hand, he pointed his gun at Ryan’s face again. “Stop interfering with my fight.”
He said a strange thing. Could it be that Bill saw something else? Hallucinating, perhaps?
“There’s no fight here, Bill. We’re in a restaurant, enjoying breakfast that you make.”
“Lies!” Bill’s anger rose like a rocket. “There’s fights everywhere, you can’t fool me!”
Ryan thought about how to solve this. It wouldn’t end in a good way if he didn’t solve this. The police would probably arrest the cook, and his life would spiral down even further. That wasn’t what the veteran needed. Help, he had to give it.
“How about this,” Ryan shot an idea, “I bet I can take the gun from your hand in one minute.”
“You’re weak. Impossible.”
“Humor me, then. If I can do it, you have to

The Revenger's System 20. Hunting Kid Driver
Heading to a place called Pink B!kini was not something Ryan thought he’d do someday. Let alone with the intention of looking for a runaway kid named Cinos.[Please turn left 100 yards from here.][The destination is on your right.]Ryan slowed the car, and didn’t want to miss it. Turning 180 degrees on this narrow road would be a pain in the neck. Indeed, he wasn’t in the middle of the city, so the street was not that big. It was two lanes, shared with the cars coming from opposite directions, but the junks littered on either side was a big hassle.Looking to his right, Ryan soon found the building named Pink B!kini. Covered by vulgar and sarcastic graffiti, it was hard to know what color the building’s paint was at first. Mostly, it was dominated by shades of pink, like its namesake. Two entrances in its front.The rolling door was closed, so he went to the rickety door after he parked the green Spider in front. The area w
The Revenger's System 21. The Landlord Kick Me Out
Driving through the city, Ryan contemplated where he'd go next. Of course, he could go back to the Crowne's residence, but there was just one little problem here."Where am I?" Bill Kennedy groggily asked as he rubbed his face."I don't know your home, so I just take you with me."The mad cook whipped his head so fast he'd break his neck. He glared at Ryan with a suspicious look on his face, "I saw you disappear!"Ryan internally grimaced, but he tried to keep his face impassive. No one was supposed to know about TEETS and all of the abilities it gave. "Maybe I'm a magician.""Magician, my ass. You disappeared like a ninja right in front of my eyes. How did you do that?""I don't," he lied, partially. He didn't disappear. At least not to everyone else in the restaurant besides the mad cook himself."Don't lie to me," Bill grumbled, "Are you the governmnet's secret project?""The, what?""Don't think I'm a fool. I know th
The Revenger's System 22. No Longer A Slave
First thing in the morning, someone rang the doorbell of the Crowne residence.Marissa wouldn't have heard it if she was in her bedroom, buried under the blanket and snoring loudly like her own husband. Sadly, the strange things that kept happening with her useless son-in-law had kept her awake since three in the morning. She was just drinking water in the kitchen when she heard the bell.However, instead of walking to the living room to open the door, she stomped her feet further inside. The direction was clear. She knocked on the scum's bedroom door and called in a loud voice, "Wake up, you useless son-in-law!"When there was no answer, Marissa banged her hand against's the door.She'd continue to do so until that useless scum woke up. How could he still be asleep around this time? He should be up since dawn to clean the place and make breakfast. No matter what he said two nights ago and yesterday about no longer cooking for them anymore.When he
The Revenger's System 23. Bitter Pills for the Crowne Family
Three people gathered around the dining table, speaking in a hushed tone.“We can’t let that scum treat us like this forever.” Marissa said, opening the spontaneous conference of the most important matter in the Crowne residence. “We have to do something before he truly forget his place. We can’t have that.”Taking off his reading glasses, Robert folded his newspaper and nodded. “I agree. And we have to do it quick.”“But how?”When both of them couldn’t think of anything, they looked at the third participant. Violet was busy on her phone, typing furiously with a heavy scowl on her face. Feeling the stares, the blonde beauty glanced up. “What?”“We have to do something to that useless scum. Think up something.”Violet sighed, “This is all your fault, okay?”“Me?” The middle-aged woman frowned, “How could you accuse m
The Revenger's System 24. Bluff and Jealousy
A pair of married couples fumed to themselves. Their current target of this negative emotion was none other than their own son-in-law, Ryan Wilder. “Ungrateful scum,” Marissa said for the third time, walking back and forth with a heavy scowl on her face. Sitting on the leather couch in the living room, her husband threw the newspaper in his hand with displeasure. The headline told him a piece of news he rather did not know. ‘VERNEST’s New Owner, The Mysterious Businessman Have Yet to Make Appearance!’ If only he didn’t know that the mysterious new owner was his own degraded son-in-law, he’d be speculating about it with most of the rich people in the world. Not only did that press conference from Vernest stir the luxury brand enthusiast into a roar, but it also sparked new interest as the businessman behind it said the acquisition hadn’t even shown his face. “Businessman?” Robert scoffed grimly, “More like a scum that deserves to die.
The Revenger's System 25. No More Filming in Closed Set
Seething from something ugly deep inside his chest, Ryan thought, ‘Unlock.’[Unlock Lvl 1 activated.][Time Left: 59 minutes 59 seconds.]The closed set’s door was slammed open as easily as ever. It turned all attention of the people inside into the doorway, shock and anger on their faces. Five crews and four naked performers whipped their necks to him. Embarrassment followed suit.“What do you think you’re doing?!” The director hollered as the four performers scrambled to cover their naked bodies as quickly as possible. “Get out of here!”Hilarious, he thought.They were shooting a sex scene, baring all of their skin for the whole world to see, and yet, they covered their body in his presence. Even Violet, who hid behind Ashton’s muscled frame, cowered with her red face so that Ryan wouldn’t see her.And Ashton?Oh, the scandalous actor might proudly show that he slep
The Revenger's System 26. To London We Go
It had been three days since Ryan unceremoniously terminated Violet's contract with her agency on her latest movie – the Lover's Fool.Indeed, the title perfectly fits how the filming work.No one could sway him on his opinion. Terminating the contract was the best course of action. If anyone said anything against it, they didn't think Violet deserved better than being a lowly pornstar without her consent.Ryan chuckled at the thought. Obviously, his own in-laws didn't think anything was wrong with that particular movie. It was like they didn't care in the slightest. Could it be that was the case?His face turned bitter at the speculation. To be honest, he wasn't surprised. Despite their claim that they loved Violet so dearly, they let her do something unspeakable and would let her bare all of herself to be recorded for everyone to enjoy.He was sick, just thinking of it."This is all your fault!" Marissa said again for the countless t
The Revenger's System 27. Look Who's Rich Now
"Good evening, sir," she said, "My name is Jess Carter, and I will escort you to your private jet. If you would follow me?""Thank you," Ryan rose to his feet.He paid a look at his wife and in-laws. Of course, they were seething in anger – or something he couldn't quite decipher."Wait," Marissa stopped them from going, "What did you say again?"The airport staff looked worriedly at Ryan, believing he was in power in this situation. So, with a bored sigh, he said, "You heard her. My private jet is waiting for me.""How could you–"Marissa stopped on her track, recalling that he had money to throw away now, despite her initial shock. "You ungrateful scum! How can you fly in a private jet while we stuck in a commercial plane?"Ryan didn't like the sound of it. "Oh? I thought my brother-in-law already took care of it? Didn't he bought you first class seats?""This has nothing to do with Jared," Marissa protested, "We'll fly i
