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
The Revenger's System 28. Spontaneous Purchase
In one of Heathrow Airport's parking lots, four members of the Crowne family gathered, getting ready to dish insulting sneers and bitter words to one particular son-in-law. Ryan took his mind off his in-laws, focusing on a stranger who had just parked a convertible near them. It was yet another time to show off. "Good morning, sir. I'm in need of a car, like right here and now. How much will it takes for a car like yours?" That was a small correction on his part. Truly, Ryan didn't need another car. He could as well grab a cab and be done with it, but his in-laws, especially Jared, needed something to remind them that he had changed. He wasn't the meek, useless man they could treat like trash or slave whenever they wanted. Ryan slightly tilted his head, appearing more domineering, and then gave the convertible driver a smile to lower the intensity. The convertible driver was taken aback, unconvinced. He removed his sunglasses and scoffed at Ryan's lac
The Revenger's System 29. Violet's Weakness
At eight in the morning, Ryan woke up and opened the double curtains of his newly-bought house. He slept in the second-story bedroom, located in the middle and faced the front yard. It wasn't the biggest bedroom in the smart house, but it was the one directly opposite Jared's house.Ryan smiled, waving his hand mockingly when he saw Jared walk by his front yard. TheFor such an elite neighbourhood, the yards between each house were not that large. At least, it was smaller here than the one of the Crowne residents back in town. However, the calm and fresh air of this upper town of London was better than back home. Besides, they couldn't insult him again for living like a parasite in their house.Ryan left the window, opting to make himself breakfast instead.The previous owner of this house, Philip Blackhand, was a renowned surgeon who had just gotten divorced from his tennis athlete wife. They had no kids and were usually busy with their work. When Ryan w
The Revenger's System 30. The Business Meeting
Early in the evening, Ryan set out with his newly bought convertible. He was following behind Jared’s car, driving under the gloomy sky of London and through its less populated street.His older brother-in-law had offered to ride together, but he wasn’t in the mood to deal with that CEO prick. Moreover, he didn’t want to buy another car just because Jared dumped him on an unfamiliar street.That being said, he’d just follow the CEO prick to whatever meeting place it was.About half an hour later, Jared’s car slowed down to a stop on a side road. The block was filled with red brick buildings and trees along the pedestrian. Several other cars lined up, not less fancy than the ones they owned.Getting out of the convertible, Ryan looked around his surroundings. A movie theater, beauty salon, several office buildings, and a few restaurants with their dim lights, contrary to neon bright, fast food service. Most buildings there were closed, either out of business or empty, but Jared walked
The Revenger's System 31. Objective Two
Ryan turned his head, finding the grey-haired Mr. Presidnet beside him. He didn’t look at Ryan but trained his eyes on the boxing ring on the floor under them. Awkwardly, Ryan introduced himself, “I’m Ryan Wilder. Jared Crowne’s … acquintance.”“Ah, Jared, hmm? Good luck with that with the strongest fighter here.”Sure, he was indeed lucky to have a relationship with someone like Jared. But, strongest fighter?“So,” Mr. President continued without introducing himself back, leaving Ryan unable to put a name on his face, “Who do you put money on?”“Money?”Mr. President glanced sharply, “Didn’t Jared tell you, already?”Ryan shook his head. “He just asked me to be here and see how he does a business meeting.”“Business meeting, he said?” Mr. President chuckled again, “I guess you can call it that. Everyone here is the sponsor of this fight. We all have a fighter to represent us.”“For what?”“The winner will get 5% of the losers’ company shares. Pretty good, isn’t it?”Ryan didn’t say a
