2024-03-02 16:12:30Mr. Randy is the owner of the restaurant, he is the father of Robby, his second son, who is a chef in his restaurant and will one day inherit the restaurant business.
But it cannot be denied that Robby is very lacking and has a lot to learn. Especially after knowing that Robby fired and beat Kaiden just because he was jealous of Kaiden.
Randy really couldn't understand what made his son jealous, who had never been in trouble in his life, from Kaiden, who had been miserable since childhood. It made no sense to Randy.
He was currently facing the two boys in his room. One was very haughty, unwilling to admit he was wrong, though now looking somewhat frightened. The other looked very resigned, but there was no look of fear on his face that Randy could see. Kaiden wouldn't be afraid if he wasn't wrong.
"So you took it for granted when Robby fired you, then you wanted to leave, but then Robby beat you up?" Asked Randy, he briefly glanced at his son Robby, his eyes showing that he was scared.
Kaiden nodded, even though he had just been beaten to a pulp, he was still able to smile that sincerely at Randy. Of course Randy had a reason why he liked Kaiden so much.
Kaiden was a young man who did not give up, his desire to learn was high, and he was not ashamed to do any work. When he first entered, Kaiden didn't know anything about the kitchen, but Randy taught him many things, and Kaiden could easily learn everything. In fact, Kaiden was very happy to learn.
"Right sir, I'm fine, because I actually came here to tell you that I want to stop working from today onwards." Kaiden said.
Randy was naturally surprised to hear that, "but why? I heard you just got out of the hospital from being beaten up by those thugs, and now you want to quit your job?"
Kaiden nodded, "Yes, I want to try my hand at small business, it may sound frivolous, but I've always wanted to run my own business. I know it's not easy, but if I don't try now, I'll never get ahead."
It wasn't just Randy, Robby was intrigued by Kaiden's words. Robby didn't think Kaiden could say something like that, even though Kaiden didn't have anything.
"But to do business you need capital, do you have money? You can't even pay your debts," Robby said.
Randy cleared his throat, indicating that Robby should remain silent. Knowing that, Robby bowed his head.
"Don't listen to Robby's words, you have to want to move forward and never give up," said Randy.
"Actually there is someone who helps me, he has a lot of coconut trees in his garden, and I want to sell young coconuts, so he helped me." Kaiden replied.
Randy was relieved to hear Kaiden's words, "thank goodness if someone helps you, I won't keep you here, you can leave, but if there is anything happen to you later, you can contact me. This is severance pay for you, because you have been working well," Randy took out an envelope from his pocket. He had prepared it to help Kaiden, but he didn't expect Kaiden to want to quit his job.
Kaiden accepted the envelope and thanked him, after which he excused himself.
Randy asked his son to apologize, Robby did, but Kaiden knew Robby wasn't sincere. Even so, Kaiden accepted the apology.
Kaiden put the envelope from Randy into the storage box.
[800$ cash deposited]
Of course Kaiden was surprised, because that's a lot of money. How could Randy give that much severance pay?
Kaiden went back to see Randy, but Randy was alone and checking some financial reports and stuff, and he looked like he had a headache. But Kaiden went to see him anyway.
"Sir, I think your severance pay is too much," Kaiden said.
Randy chuckled, "You're making it up, I did prepare that money for you, just think of the rest as pocket money. Doesn't the old usually give pocket money to the young? Just accept the money, Kaiden."
Kaiden couldn't resist anymore, so he went back to get his bike, which was already broken.
"I thought my bike was fine..." Kaiden muttered.
Kaiden didn't know how long it had been since his bike had been broken and could no longer be helped. It was the only vehicle he had.
Indeed, besides Robby, there were other restaurant employees who didn't like Kaiden. Zack was the only one who was nice to him.
It was okay, Kaiden could walk. Even though the footwear he was wearing was just sandals that were worn out and almost broken, he could still wear them.
As he walked, people looked at him with different expressions. Some pity him, some insult him, and some even openly insult him in a loud voice with his friends, then they laugh at Kaiden.
Later that day Kaiden looked in the mirror in front of a men's clothing store where one piece of clothing was very expensive. The cheapest one piece probably cost around 500$.
Kaiden was surprised that he looked like a hobo, even though he was wearing the best clothes he had, even though they were cheap. But it seems that thanks to the fight with Robby, Kaiden's clothes got dirty and he looked scruffy.
Kaiden thought he was quite handsome, but his good looks were covered up by his hobo appearance.
This is sad.
[A Tycoon candidate should look good]
[Buy good clothes and shoes at the store!]
[If you succeed, you'll get an extra 2000$]
Of course Kaiden was tempted by the money. If the money Kaiden got from Randy was combined with today's prize money, the total would be 1,800$ and Kaiden could buy clothes and shoes with that money.
Fired up, Kaiden entered the clothing store. Kaiden's eyes were immediately drawn to the promo banner displayed in front of the door.
The banner said that if anyone was interested in modeling for their clothing brand temporarily, they would receive a set of fashionable clothes, pants, and shoes. The price for the original set is 2500$, but if you model, you only pay 800$.
"It looks like you entered the store by mistake, if there's nothing you can buy, then you can leave the store," said one of the clerks, in a gentle tone but the words she spoke were very rude to Kaiden.
"Sorry, but I have money and I want to join that one!" Kaiden pointed at the banner he had just read carefully.
The female employee laughed at Kaiden's words.
Kaiden turned quickly to her, "Is there something wrong?" Kaiden asked.
The female employee shook her head, "no, you can go there, just try to beat the other customers, if you win and get lucky, you can become a model for a while."
The female employee clearly looked down on Kaiden, she didn't even bother to smile kindly at Kaiden, her face was very stern. She left immediately after pointing out the place Kaiden should enter.
Kaiden, not wanting to make a fuss, thanked her and entered the door.
It turned out that there were about five other people waiting to be selected, all of them clean-looking, with nice and neat clothes. A far cry from Kaiden's messy appearance.
Some of them were secretly laughing at Kaiden, others were laughing openly.
"Do you want to come as a temporary model?" Asked someone familiar to Kaiden.
"Yes," Kaiden replied briefly.
But, that short answer made the other participants laugh immediately as if Kaiden's words were a joke.

Kaiden didn't care about the others, he just focused on himself. He knew the others were laughing at him, including someone he was familiar with.He was Fabiano, the son of the owner of the resort near the beach, and Kaiden's previous classmate.Bian, as he was usually called, was the class president who was known to be very kind and considerate to all students.

Kaiden was very happy when a new smartphone was brought out by the pretty employee, it was black in color. The blonde employee explained about the smartphone to Kaiden patiently, Kaiden himself asking a lot of questions because this was the first time he had seen such an expensive smartphone."It's useless for you to explain in such detail, because he won't be able to pay for everything," said Citra, the bitchy employee who used to be Kaiden's classmate. Citra had just served a customer who was well-dressed and looked rich, but didn't end up buying a smartphone."Even if he doesn't buy, we should still serve him well, that's what the shop owner said," said the blonde-haired girl."I warned you, he's a hobo, he has no money, he can't afford such an expensive smartphone." After saying that, Citra left again.The blonde employee turned back to Kaiden, "Do you want to buy or not? If you do want to buy, I can insert the SIM card as well."Kaiden nodded, "I'll buy it, here's the money, plea
The Tycoon Game System 8. Start to selling
Although the thugs who collected Kaiden's debt went home peacefully, they came with a ruckus.Thanks to them, Kaiden's house was a mess. There was even a hole in the roof, maybe they had thrown a rock or something.To be sure, Kaiden cleaned up the house immediately after they left.He knew that his house was very small and barely habitable. But it was his father's only inheritance, and the house and land had belonged to Kaiden since his father died.Kaiden also didn't understand why his father had given the house and land to Kaiden and not his mother.Because of this, his mother couldn't sell the land, as it had to be approved by Kaiden and Kaiden was adamant about not wanting to sell the house. They were so poor, if the house was sold, where would they live afterwards. That's what Kaiden thought. He didn't know that his decision would lead his mother to get into a lot of debt, then commit suicide and put it all on Kaiden.Kaiden just couldn't understand why his mother was like that.
The Tycoon Game System 9. Because of Jenni's help
Several hours had passed, Kaiden was tired of not having any other customers after the two little girls and the old man. It's not that Kaiden didn't try, he also tried to offer his wares to everyone who passed by, but they all just passed by him without bothering to turn their heads.Until Jennifer arrived, she was wearing casual clothes in the form of short jeans and also a white t-shirt. Kaiden was stunned to see the blonde haired girl. But after realizing, he immediately smiled at Jenni."Hello Kaiden, how is your merchandise today? How much have you sold?" Jenni asked to the point, making Kaiden feel annoyed again, but he just smiled as if everything was fine."Only sold one, maybe I'm just unlucky today, would you like to try the coconut ice?" asked Kaiden, thankful for the positive smile.Jenni smiled at Kaiden, who was still in good spirits, not depressed at all despite the lack of sales.Then Jenni nodded, "sure, I'd like one."While Kaiden prepared the coconut ice, Jenni took

The money Kaiden currently has is 26,080$. He immediately paid his debt of 20,000$, so his current debt has been paid 21,000$, that's what Kaiden thought.But it turned out that the $1,000 he gave to the thugs yesterday didn't count at all.Kaiden felt very upset, even though it wasn't easy to get that much money. The big master who reduced Kaiden's mother said he didn't work with the thugs anymore, because the police had warned him.The master was a good man, but the thugs used his power to blackmail the debtors. The lord had lost money because he had paid them, but the money that the debtors had deposited was partly taken by the thugs."You can open an account, Kaiden, these days it's very sophisticated, I see you already have a smartphone, open an account, so you can manage your debts through your smartphone, you don't have to come to me in person." said the lord, then he took a drag on his cigarette, then exhaled the smoke slowly, making Kaiden feel claustrophobic."Alright, I'll

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"Kaiden turned to Mr. Toni's granddaughter, Laura, who was standing in front of the house looking fashionable. Kaiden knew that everything on that beautiful girl's body was branded luxury goods, and even her make-up must have been very expensive.Kaiden had gone straight to see Mr. Toni, to talk about the coconut.There was no time to complain about the pain of being beaten, as Kaiden was used to it.Laura looked at Kaiden with a look of pity, annoyance and disdain."Are you a loser who gets beaten up a lot? Even if you're poor, at least you don't have to be beaten up by others." Laura said.Kaiden just smiled, Laura didn't know how hard it was to be a poor, weak youth without any strength.[You have a system, master!]Yes, but Kaiden is still poor.Kaiden was grateful that the system helped him, but he didn't want anything more.[If you successfully carry out the ongoing mission, you can become stronger and have power][Until no one else can look down on
The Tycoon Game System 12. Such a looser
Signature apartment is one of the luxury apartments located in an elite area right in the heart of the city.There are several apartment units for sale and they are all very luxurious. The cheapest apartment cost about one million dollars.And Kaiden had no idea that the apartment the system was referring to was Signature apartment, from the signature group company.Signature Group was a domestic company that made it to the list of the world's one hundred most influential companies, and was the number one company in the country. In addition to the property business, there are also other businesses such as hotels and resorts, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, golf, and others.And the big lord who owed Kaiden's mother money was the owner of Signature Group's nightclub. He was one of the most influential people in the city, part of the family that owned the Signature Group."Are you sure your apartment is here, Kaiden?" Jenni whispered.Kaiden didn't think his apartment was there either, j
The Tycoon Game System 13. Spend the night together
Kaiden, who was seeing for the first time how luxurious the apartment that was already his, couldn't help but be amazed. It was a fully furnished apartment, so there was already furniture in it.But since he was embarrassed to act like a fool in front of two beautiful women, he tried to act like he was used to luxury apartments. Although he wanted to scream and jump up and down in excitement."Do you guys want home-cooked or just order in? I mean - I know my cooking won't be to your taste," Kaiden said awkwardly. He'd planned to cook, had even bought the ingredients before going to the apartment with Jenni.But with Laura around, he felt bad if she had to eat the village food he'd cooked.Kaiden wasn't much of a cook, he could only cook what he could."I'm fine, as long as you cook vegetables or something healthy, because I'm on a diet," Laura said.Although it wasn't Jenni who said it, she was embarrassed by Laura's lack of modesty.Actually, Jenni didn't like the idea of her time wi

I'll jump up there." the girl replied, also shouting."I can only fish for small fish and she's already brought in a fish this big." muttered Jake, astonished by Lency's catch, which Kaiden was putting into the fish box."That means you lost to a kid." Kaiden said.Then there was a loud splash as Lency jumped from the sea onto the yacht."Hey, slow down!" Jake shouted, startled by the sound."Can you carry me? I need to change." the girl pleaded with Jak

The morning air feels so fresh. Then, when your nose smelled the delicious aroma of meat, your stomach suddenly rumbled.Jake, who had just woken up, saw that Kaiden had cooked the meat, he made a stir-fry that was not too spicy.In addition, there were also cooked meat satay. Kaiden served it with a slightly spicy peanut sauce mixed with sweet soy sauce.Jake was starving to see it all.Kaiden turned his head and saw that Jake and Charles had come out of the tent. Both were staring at the food with hungry eyes.Kaiden laughed and called out to them, "Jake, Charles, come and eat. Charles wake up Nicho too, let's have breakfast. The rice is already cooked." Kaiden said.Jake who had just realized that Charles had woken up with him jumped, he would have cursed if he hadn't seen Lency sitting there waiting for the food to cook."Come here Jake, try this meat satay." Lency eagerly offered Jake a skewer with large meat. Cut very precisely with a size of 1×1 cm per piece of meat.It looked
158. In the other world
In fact, just an hour ago Kaiden said he wanted to go home, now they were at the market.It was the market in the city of Milez, close to the forest position where Kaiden and Lency had arrived.Milez City was near the empire, so it was quite far from where Lency was from. Even so, still.Lency sighed heavily, she and Kaiden were being noticed by the people around there. Mainly because their appearance was too flashy.Even though they were already wearing clothes that matched the people of this world.Perhaps it was because Kaiden and Lency's appearance didn't look like ordinary people, more like royalty.Even if someone said Kaiden was the King of a distant land, they would still believe it.She don't know what the story was, but Kaiden had gotten clothes, money, and horses. Lency didn't really comment, after all if Kaiden could just come to this world, there must be something.Lency was sure that Kaiden had some kind of great magic.It couldn't be otherwise, because that was the only

Unexpected things happen all the time, like this time.Right when Jake arrived, which was around eight in the evening, it suddenly started to rain.Although their tent wouldn't be flooded by rainwater, it meant they couldn't go outside.The sky was supposed to be clear tonight and the stars were clearly visible. Because the area around the pink beach has very little light pollution, the night sky is clear.Unlike the big city, which has a high level of light pollution, it is almost impossible to see the stars.The sound of the rain was loud, but that didn't stop them from having fun.The grown men were playing cards while drinking hot coffee. While the children were also not sleeping, watching them play cards while drinking their hot chocolate."Hahaha I won again!" said Kaiden for who knows how many times. They got bored because every game, Kaiden always won. Even if it was Kaiden's first time playing."Oh come on, you must be the main character in this world, so you have some kind o

Around one in the afternoon, Nicho and Lency returned. The lunch Kaiden had cooked was also finished. So was the small mackerel that Charles had fried."Did you guys have fun?" Kaiden asked as the kids sat waiting for the food to be prepared.Both of them nodded enthusiastically."Did you just buy all the merchandise from the vendors around here?" asked Lency."That's right, I was just helping out a local vendor." said Kaiden, as he prepared the beef stew that he had cooked in a pressure cooker to make the meat softer."No wonder the owner of the big store is angry." muttered Nicho."Big store?" Charles asked."It's a big store that used to be very crowded, but after Kaiden bought up the small vendors' wares and distributed them, the store started to get quiet. And the owner got angry." replied Nicho.Lency nodded in agreement with Nicho's answer, "That's right, he said, he had gone to the trouble of spreading rumors not to buy at any other store than his own."Apparently there was su

"Kids, be quiet!" "We're not loud, Charles! We're just playing a game."Charles rolled his eyes in disgust, his brother was not one to be told off.It was only Nicho, Lency, and Charles going to the camp. Of course with their guardian, Kaiden.Kaiden himself just smiled as he drove his mini van casually.He had deliberately chosen a normal car to go to camp. There was no point in bringing a luxury car when going with children.After all, his mini van was of good quality, perfect for traveling some distance."Why are you getting angry?" asked Kaiden."That's the reason why I want to come with you, I have a lot on my mind right now. I thought if I came with you I could relax, but those kids are so noisy in the back." said Charles, he leaned his head on the car seat, covering his eyes with the palm of his hand."Nicho and Lency be quiet, let Charles sleep. Don't you want to go for a ride? I asked you to go out of town, but you're playing games instead." Kaiden said.Charles secretly smi

When Kaiden was little, he thought his mother and Aiden had their reasons for hating Kaiden. For example, because Kaiden couldn't get good grades in math... ah, but Aiden was even worse in all school subjects.Or, because Kaiden couldn't make money... but, Aiden spent more money.Kaiden was very curious and wanted to know the reason, so he could change himself and be loved by them.However, only his father loved him.Now, in this moment, when Kaiden knew everything, he still wondered.He was just a little boy who didn't know anything, why was he hated back then?Kaiden knew that not everyone liked children, but if you saw a child who could already do a lot of chores and was polite, would you still hate him?It was around four in the morning.Kaiden sat leisurely with a cup of hot coffee, watching the television that was showing the latest news.It just so happened that the news was about child abduction and the sale of children by individuals who were apparently supported by some infl
153. You're too kind, Kaiden, damn it!
Kaiden walked up to Aiden, he was not only eating there, but also filming himself.Kaiden knew that nowadays, most of young people were loved by the content creator phenomenon.It could be that Aiden was doing what was called being a content creator. By eating luxurious food in a luxurious villa as well."Sir, that man from yesterday claimed to be your brother, he also provided proof of a photo of you as a child." said a waiter as Kaiden approached."It's okay, let him be my business, you better rest, okay?" said Kaiden, in a gentle and understanding tone.Kaiden was indeed a wealthy man who was kind and friendly. He was never arrogant even though his wealth would not run out for eight generations.It was unbelievable that a young and handsome crazy rich man like Kaiden had such bad luck in love."Thank you, sir! I'll take my leave." the waiter and a few other waiters in the dining room left.Kaiden had forbidden Jake, Nicho or anyone else from approaching. He was about to face his ow
152. Get rid of the Mafia
As planned, Kaiden was taken by Abigail's uncle to where the mafia was.Of course, Kaiden pretended to want to buy the girl, so that he could find out who the mafia was.Because it was useless if Kaiden just hid the little girl, surely the mafia would look for other child victims.However, Kaiden knew that the mafia in question was just a group of thugs, and couldn't possibly be as big as the Italian mafia. In a way, it was just an amateur mafia. Although the crime was just as big.Human trafficking this time, huh?Kaiden was sure this kind of thing existed in every country.Kaiden was in the largest tropical country with a population of 280 million. Not as big as America, but certainly not a small number.With such a large population, there is great competition in society. People do whatever they can to make money, including the most heinous things they can do.Like selling innocent children to the mentally ill."This guy is going to buy Abigail, boss!" Abigail's uncle said.The litt
