Mr. 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. However, not many people knew that Bian was actually still part of the school thugs who liked to bully other students.Bian does maintain his image, lest his parents know that he likes to bully other students, likes to smoke, skip school, and other juvenile delinquencies.He did look very handsome and like a good guy, but the truth was the opposite.Kaiden clearly didn't like Bian, as he often bullied Kaiden at school. Then Bian and his friends threatened Kaiden not to tell anyone after being bullied. Kaiden had a lot of trouble because of them.Once he almost broke his leg because he was beaten by them, but fortunately Kaiden
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
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.
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
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
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
Karina threw the limited edition Hermes bag that Kylo had bought for her, as if it was worthless. Fortunately, the bag landed on the bed.The beautiful woman felt very stupid and also angry at the moment.What had she done?What had she said to Kaiden earlier? It was Karina herself who broke off their relationship for reasons she made up herself.Karina thought her decision was right, she accepted Kylo without even thinking about her own decision.It's just an escape.In fact, Karina is grateful that there is Kylo who gave her the offer to get engaged. Karina wants to forget Kaiden and get away from him.Karina is sick of Kaiden who is easily tempted by a girl, but on the other hand she also really loves Kaiden.Seeing Kaiden standing there, made Karina feel ashamed of all her decisions. And that made her angry for no reason.Karina was sure Kylo was a good person, she had known Kylo since childhood. Since they were eight years old.Karina knows Kylo likes her, but it never crossed K
It's true that Mr. Holter is currently having a little trouble with money, but the Xavier family has a close relationship with Holter. It's impossible for Kylo to play with Mr. Holter as he pleases.Kylo doesn't have that much money, 350 million dollars? Seriously!Damn this Kaiden, he thinks he can set Kylo up? What an idiot.Kylo hurriedly approached Mr. Holter, then said, "Mr. Holter! I heard you sold one of your private jets?"Holter laughed, a typical rich man's laugh, very understated. Not much different from Chris's laugh. Or you could say typical of rich men, although Chris was actually still young."That's right, I'm selling the best, the most luxurious. Are you interested?" asked Holter."Kylo has a lot of money, he said he wanted to buy it." said Kaiden, which made Holter laugh again, while Kylo cursed silently.Being the sneaky Kylo that he usually is, Kylo hurriedly replied."Gosh, I don't have that much money, unlike Kaiden."True, he was playing the role of a super nice
"Are you sure you're engaged to this kind of person?" asked Kaiden, to Karina, who still couldn't believe that Kaiden was there.Of all the businessmen, why Kaiden? Inviting Chris Zein would have been enough, right?"I don't know Kaiden, what is certain is that right now he is the best for me." said Karina, she didn't even know what she had just said.Karina was very embarrassed if Kaiden knew she was forced to get engaged to Kylo because of her family's debt.So far, all of Karina's achievements had been with Kaiden's help. She knew Kaiden would be able to help her.But after their fight, Karina would be embarrassed if she asked Kaiden for help again.Kaiden would think that Karina really couldn't do without him, and he would continue to look down on her and play around with other women.It would be better for Karina to get engaged to her childhood friend who was also the son of one of the richest businessmen in America.Kaiden laughed at Karina's remark, making Karina feel very upse
Kylo Xavier, the young man who came from the family that owned the biggest business in America was now standing in front of Kaiden.He was a handsome young man with brunette hair and blue eyes. He looked about the same age as Kaiden, or even older.He shook Kaiden's hand and smiled slightly. He treated Kaiden well, and Kaiden thought he might be able to help with the business Kylo was going to develop.When Kylo told him about the business, Kaiden was quite interested, though he wasn't too sure. Although he had never made a mistake in investing, he still had to be careful.However, Kaiden thought he would have no problem throwing away some of his money if Kylo's business went bad.Kaiden quickly got along with Kylo, because Kylo himself was outgoing, with the help of the super friendly Jake.The meeting goes quite well, Kaiden is also worn by Chris' friend who owns a private jet, and the man hopes to have his plane bought by Kaiden soon.Kaiden had no problem wasting money, but... did
Jake and Zack didn't walk far until they found the ice skating rink. There were several people, especially children, ice skating there. They could even find some kids who looked professional.Just looking at it made Jake feel happy, but he turned to Zack.His friend must be dying to go ice skating."You can come if you want." Jake said, nudging Zack in the ribs."I don't have any shoes." Zack mumbled, even though there was clearly an ice skating shoe rental nearby."You can rent them." said Jake.Zack quickly turned to Jake, "You want to watch me do it?"Jake nodded quickly, "really, I really want to see it, out of curiosity. Is it true you can... that, I mean figure skating."Zack sighed heavily, then he started to smile."Alright, I'll try to do it."Zack left, trying to rent ice skates nearby.Just as Zack left, Kaiden arrived. He came with Vrida, who looked less stressed.Maybe Kaiden and Vrida had gotten a good deal."You'll help me with the contract documents, we've agreed to wo
Kaiden didn't know how, but suddenly he, Jake and Zack were in a warm spot in the park. Eating sandwiches for breakfast, and also a cup of coffee from the famous coffee brand, moonbuck.The three of them, facing a grieving stranger. She wasn't crying anymore, but it was obvious that she was stressed.She told them a story as they ate their breakfast.Her name was Vrida Romanova, she said people recognized her as Vrida Nova.Vrida has an American mother and a Russian and Polish father.Vrida is opening a fashion business, she sells different types of clothes for women and teenage girls who like to look feminine.However, she is having trouble because she is being cheated by the person who has been sewing clothes for her. Vrida can only design, not sew. Meanwhile, she only had a short time to open her shop."I've been trying to find a new tailor, or a convection that can help me, but everyone is full of work, no one can help me. The clothes I can sell right now are just regular clothes,
"I think renting here is a waste, Kaiden."Jake looked over at Chris, his cousin had forgotten what he did when he was Kaiden's age."You did that too Chris, the Symphony suite or whatever it's called, 100,000$ a night with the museum in it." Jake said."It's only for three days..." said Chris, who had actually forgotten about his behavior a few years ago. "Besides, the hotel has very good security, so it's worth the money. But to rent such an expensive hotel for one week is too much. Wouldn't it be better to rent an apartment or a mansion instead?" he added.Kaiden let out a long sigh, "Never mind, I chose this hotel obviously because it's close to Central Park. It would be fun to walk there in the morning." Kaiden said."Do you want to go for a walk this winter?" Asked Zack, who had been silent the whole time.Kaiden nodded, "Of course! I'm going around the city, buying good food and stuff."Chris stood up and went to one of the main rooms, "whatever, I'm going to bed, you guys don'
"Which hotel did you book a room at?" Chris asked once again.Even though it was obvious, someone had come to pick them up at the airport wearing the logo of a fairly famous hotel.Or maybe very famous, Kaiden didn't know.He had just on a whim booked a room at The Marko hotel which had a penthouse room.The price for one night was 75,000$ and Kaiden rented it for a week.The Marko Hotel has a luxury penthouse of 10,000 square feet or about 929 square meters.The hotel has a strict vetting process, and only a few people have ever stayed in the penthouse room due to its high price tag (which The Marko claims is the most expensive in the US; regular suites start at US$1,895 per night).However, the room was once rented for 24 months by a family! Kaiden believes they were a very wealthy family. With that two-year rent, they could have bought a nice mansion."Excuse me, are you Kaiden Grayson?" a young man in a classic black suit approached Kaiden's group."Right, that's me." Kaiden repli
Kaiden just realized that the system has a kind of online shop in it, a system shop.It was said that in games there was also something like that, a system similar to a game.Only, everything sold was unusual things.Including coats for winter.Indeed, the shape is the same as the one in that world. But the function is very unexpected.The coats for sale had various designs and came from various animal furs that Kaiden had never even heard of.For example, the super cool ivory-white coat with black fine lines, according to the system's description, came from the fur of a wolf tiger.It was a powerful monster of level B.Kaiden didn't understand, but the fur was very fine, and it could warm the body according to the body's own resistance and the weather.The coat could also resist external attacks such as knives, bullets and others."Is it okay to use animal fur? If it were in this world, it would be considered a crime." Kaiden muttered.He was in his room alone, he had locked the door
