“You’re out of your way!”
Violet shouted, and Ryan pretended he did not hear that.
“Listen to me, you scum!”
Ryan turned his neck, staring at Violet’s heated blue eyes with his calming brown. Oh, well. Violet was grabbing his shirt collar, of course, he couldn’t pretend. Who was he kidding, anyway?
Still, he could at least try to ignore her. Although he had a 0.01% chance of success in that matter. But why was the Crowne so obsessed with grabbing his shirt collar? Florent did that exact same thing just five minutes ago, how did he end up in this same situation with Violet now?
“What did you do to Jared, you scum?! Are you happy that he’s in police custody now?”
Right.
Jared and his illegal drugs. How could he forget?
“Happy?” Ryan repeated, letting his lips form a sly smile just for the blonde beauty before him to see. “Of course, I’m happy. I&r

The Revenger's System 54. A Date with His Wife
Oh, shit.Ryan cursed himself internally as he pulled on his dark hair, staring blankly at the mirror in front of him. He certainly knew what he wanted but did not know what to do.Double fucking shit.Of course, asking Violet for a date in exchange for him to stop what he was playing with Jared was a good idea.Please, mind the sarcasm. Ryan wasn't that bright, to begin with. At least, not for his own good.That said, late afternoon, Ryan rode the elevator to the hotel lobby. Humming to himself to erase his nervousness, he walked to the couches around the lobby. Some people turned their heads at him, noticing how his bright yellow Pikachu watch clashed against his black shirt and navy jeans. Self-conscious, Ryan sat on the couch with his arms crossed on his chest.The big, lavish clock behind the receptionists showed that it was almost five. Violet should be here any second now. If she didn't back down, for sure. However, she wouldn't dare
The Revenger's System 55. Fucking Let Me Go
Ryan smiled sheepishly when Violet used her own credit card to get a one-day pass for two bicycles.Of course, Violet did it all the while grumbling, "A true man would never ask their girl to pay for them."Hearing that, a bright smile crossed his face. "You finally admit that I'm your man now."Violet blushed, maybe in embarrassment or anger, he didn't care. "I'm not saying anything of the sort! Stop smiling, or I'll push you to the river!""Please don't. You know I can't swim.""That's the more reason for me to do that," Violet said without batting an eye."Is that so?" Ryan asked, teasing just slightly. "Do you really want to kill me that much? Even after knowing some of our shared childhood?"Violet was surprised to hear that. So was Ryan, but he quickly smothered his face into a neutral expression.In an awkward silence, he chooses a soft brown and white bicycle with a basket at the front. Meanwhile, Violet grabbed a pink
The Revenger's System 56. Fall With Me
It hurt.Falling on her hands and knees, it hurt.Violet bit her bottom lip to stop her pained whine. She didn’t want the fucking scum to laugh at her further. That mocking smile on his disgusting face was enough to set off her ire. “You son of a bitch! You did that on purpose, right?!”The skinny scum chuckled, offering his hand to help her.She slapped it away, almost – because Ryan reflexively moved his hand before she made contact. Enraged further by her failed attempt, Violet snapped, “Do you want to help me or not?”Ryan rolled his eyes, something he shouldn’t dare do if he wanted to live, and mumbled incorrigibly, “Well, you’re the one who tried to slap my hand away.”Violet glowered, “Just help me up, you scum!”Sighing, Ryan offered his hand. But, before she could take it, he changed his mind and stepped closer to grab her arms, pulling her up in one go. Violet was heavier than she looked – or he was weaker than he thought – and almost stumbled forward. He gritted his teeth a
The Revenger's System 57. Immortalized in A Sketch
Violet slumped on a bench, cold sweats on her forehead from earlier. It definitely messed with her makeup, but she’d trade that over her life.It was a near thing, but she thought Ryan was truly going to kill her by riding the bicycle right into the Seine River.“Here,” Ryan stood looming over her. Even if he wasn’t as tall as Jared – and way skinnier than her – he looked like a pole from her seated position. He offered a blueberry crepe while holding back the strawberry one for himself.Violet stared flatly at the offered food, “I don’t want it.”“Then, hold it for me.”“I’m not your slave.”“Huh,” Ryan tilted his head, “Either you take it or I’ll drop it from my hand in three, two, on–“Violet quickly grabbed the offending blueberry crepe, glaring, “Happy now?”He didn’t answer and went to
The Revenger's System 58. I Don't Break A Law
True to Ryan's word, he stopped his ranged attack on Jared after their date.Violet was glad when her older brother called to inform her that the police had suspended the investigation. They said they didn't have enough proof to bring the case to trial. He was released from custody but warned to keep himself and his company clear.However, getting his position back in the company wasn't easy. Jared kept cursing Ryan like never before. Violet always agreed with her older brother, considering him her hero and the person she admired. However, the way he was enraged at Ryan was a bit too much.The scum had told her that he was merely a person who reported the fire, not the one who started the fire that burned a mountain to ashes. As foul as it tasted on her tongue, Ryan was right. Jared wouldn't be stuck in this situation if he didn't do illegal things and went out of the way in the first place.Even so, she was still angry at Ryan for this.It felt as if he was toying with her and her en
The Revenger's System 59. Objective Three: Florent Fired
It came like a summer breeze. Ryan thought, ‘TEETS, I know what I want from him now.’[Please state your objective.]‘I want to make Florent to be fired from his agency.’[Understood.][Objective 3: Make Florent be fired from Bloeu Agency.]And to make that into reality, Ryan turned on his heels and left the 9th Fashion Show’s gate.

The Revenger's System 60. Unveiled Tongue
The 9th Fashion Show looked like any other of its kind.Dimn ballroom with overhead lights casting the runway in a cold, bluish color. The midnight blue curtains part for each model. A Strobe of lights danced on either side, matching the background's slow beat.Pretty people in fancy clothes sat on the chairs along the runway's sides, perhaps celebrities and the riches. He might not be able to name even one of them, but Ryan could tell that none seemed friendly. He had proved it by saying hello to the woman sitting next to him with big busts and overly-done ginger hair. She didn't even bat an eye, preferring to look ahead with a perfect smile on her heavy makeup face.Sighing, Ryan did the same. The models on the runway were as tall as a lamp post, with long legs and curvaceous bodies. He didn't think three hours were enough to do their hair alone, let alone apply some of their bold makeup. Here, he wasn't talking about bright red and gold eyeliners but more lik

There was no lie, but only the truth remained.After learning that bit of information through the old designer, Ryan was confident in his move against Florent. He didn't fight with nothing up his sleeve; he just had to get the proof now.That said, Ryan was currently standing with his back leaning on the wall, the dressing room on his right, and the restroom on his left. Now, he must find some girl who might know or have a one-night stand with Florent. That was the lead he got from Henry.Just like what George Palessino said, luck seemed to be in him.A girl in a white dress walked from the hall and into the res
