“You’re running a cafe,” Ulmer added. “Obviously, you’re not stupid.”“I’ll take that as a compliment,” Whitley smiled. “Since you clearly are not poor, you are not going to work at my cafe, right?”“If I have money, can’t I work in your shop?” Ulmer asked her back.“Of course, you can, but the reason I wanted to give you the job in the first place was because I wanted to improve the situation of your life,” Whitley tried her best to look like she cared for him. “You jumped into the river. Obviously, you’re going through some shit in life. It doesn’t seem like it's a money problem. So, if you tell me what that problem is, I could help you, or at least I’ll try my best to help you.”Because Whitley was beginning to doubt Ulmer, she didn’t want him to join her cafe as a waiter anymore. She liked this place, and if he were to ruin it, she wouldn’t be able to take it.“I do need help with one thing,” Ulmer could see that she was not wearing the three-skull earrings anymore. So, he had to
Ulmer was very thrifty in general, so watching his one million dollars going down the drain wasn’t a pleasant experience at all. He was not crying outside, but his heart was crying inside.Watching them felt like days. His plan was to see how they would react to that much money, but he didn’t expect them to shop with it. He was disappointed to say the least. However, something he had been hoping for since knowing them happened now.Someone from that same organization came to meet them. He was wearing a copper-skull earring.“What are you two doing when you were given an important mission?” He rebuked Jake and Whitley.“Why are you raising your voice against us?” Whitley growled back at him. “You’re just a mere copper grade, so don’t tell us, your superiors, what to do.”“Don’t mind her words, Brother Leeval,” Jake tried to speak formally. “We’re dealing with our target and are assessing his strength and assets. I think this will help our organization much more than if we simply killed
“What the hell? Why did these bastards stop at my uncle’s home?” Ulmer’s heart raced for a second at the thought that they might attack his family.However, to his shock, both Ben and Amelie came out of the house and talked with them in a very friendly manner.Ulmer was still in the taxi, but he was able to hear their conversation. He soon deduced that they were college friends.“We are good friends,” Leeval told Ben and Amelie. “So, why are you so surprised that we want to invest in both of your companies? I personally didn’t think you’d both really try to start companies, but now that you’re doing it, I will support you. Of course, I want the companies to do well, but I’ll keep my interference as little as possible. The same goes for these two. We will give you almost complete freedom. What do you say?”Amelie was still reluctant about it, but Ben said, “I’d be grateful if you guys could invest in our companies.”“I knew you’d say that, Ben,” Leeval gave him a fist bump, followed b
Though Leeval and his friends had entered the home more than an hour ago, and Ivy was preparing lunch for them, Mollie felt bad that neither Ben nor Jamine introduced her to Leeval and the other two young men.Mollie was in her room and didn’t even get out because Ivy specifically told her to not come out until Leeval and his friends left.Meanwhile, Ulmer just got out of the taxi and paid the driver 2000 thousand dollars. The driver was expecting a lot more, but Ulmer was about to take that money back, so the driver quickly put the money in his pocket and then said goodbye and drove away.“He didn’t even thank me…” Ulmer sighed and then entered through the gate. His expression slowly turned serious because three members of a nefarious organization were in his uncle’s house right now having lunch with everyone.He entered the house with his fists clenched. Ivy and others were laughing at the jokes Leeval was cracking by telling all the funny stories that had happened in college.When
Ben and Ulmer together escorted Leeval and his friend to their home in a Land Rover. Ulmer was sitting in the middle, with Ben on one side and Leeval on the other.Ulmer didn’t speak a word since he entered the car, and so Leeval had to start the conversation.“You’re Ulmer, right?” Leeval asked. “I’m Leeval. I’m an investor, for now. What about you? Ben didn’t tell us where you’re working.”“I don’t have a job,” Ulmer replied.“Oh, then how are you able to survive?” Leeval asked. “Doesn’t your parents stress you about getting a job?”“My parents are dead,” Ulmer answered with a poker face.“O-Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that,” Leeval said, despite knowing full well about Ulmer’s story because he had already done his research before coming into contact with Ulmer. “If you don’t have any job, then how about I recommend you to a good company?”Ben was happy to hear that, even though he didn’t show it on his face. After all, this would mean Ulmer would join some other company instead of joi
The most embarrassing thing in his life happened to Leeval. He ended up shitting in his pants in the car. And it wasn’t a silent excretion but rather an explosive one. It was like the dam gate was suddenly opened.Leeval used his supernatural strength to squeeze his buttocks together and resist the flow the best he could, but that only caused the outpour to be all the more violent.Ben was shaken by the sudden noise, and it was too much for him to even be in the car. He quickly exited, and Ulmer followed him out.Leeval’s friends were also having the same stomach issue, but their pain wasn’t as intense. They were able to bear it just long enough to run to the bathrooms. Leeval, however, had to sit in the car because he wouldn’t get out of the car now. It would be too embarrassing and humiliating for him if any of the maids or the butlers were to see him now, much less his parents or siblings. The only good thing was that there were no women in the car, or he’d have felt so much more m
“I thought you were a smart kid because you managed to get to Syslon somehow, but you’re still a brat who doesn’t know anything about the darkness that has gripped this world.”“Try me,” Ulmer calmly replied.Marcus picked up the knife from the table and flicked it toward Ulmer’s head, making it fly fast as a bullet.Ulmer stared at the bullet, and it stopped in midair.Marcus’ expression froze. He blinked roughly once and took a good look again, and the bullet was still floating in the air right before Ulmer’s face. (What the hell… he can use telekinesis? I heard that only those who reach the top level in any field can attain such power. I didn’t expect this young bastard to have such terrifying power.)“Ulmer caught the bullet with his fingers. “I’m not asking for your property so that I can enjoy it. Frankly, I already have more money than you can imagine. And I don’t need others’ money, but I still don’t mind taking your money and doing charity with it. These days, there are a lot
Ulmer was returning home, and he was talking to his system Dove.“Is it possible to find the identities of those 300 thorns or whatever they are?” Ulmer asked.[I’m sure they meet in a secret place most of the time, and sometimes they might talk over the encrypted internet.] Dove said. [Though I can destroy the internet, I don’t have the means to hack it. If you want to try eavesdropping on them, then you should look for the hacking system, or the alpha system or the tech system or the math system or other systems that are capable of hacking the internet.]“Are these systems in Syslon now?” Ulmer quickly asked.[The last time I checked in the imperial repository, none of those systems are there.] Dove’s reply took all the gas out of Ulmer’s chest.“You’re not helping at all.”[Why don’t you just find the head of the Three Skull first?] Dove said. [I’m sure we can squeeze all the information we want from him.]“Huh…” Ulmer sighed. “I doubt so. Even the 300 Thorns doesn’t seem to be the
