2024-03-14 23:40:42Kaiden 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 got treatment on time.
Kaiden also had to be punished by the teacher because his assignment book was hidden by Bian and his friends.
Surprisingly, many girls liked them, saying they were very handsome and cool.
Well, Kaiden felt he was far from handsome and cool when compared to Bian.
Kaiden glanced back at Bian who was laughing at Kaiden with his friend whom Kaiden didn't recognize.
Then the shop owner came over and explained. He said the competition would use social media. So they would be photographed wearing clothes from the shop being promoted, then, the photo that had the best response would be chosen.
The winner would be the store's model for a year and would get paid well, and would also get some clothes as gifts.
Kaiden didn't really listen because he was so nervous.
Afterward they were given one outfit to take pictures in, the photographer was also ready with his camera.
Whether it was just Kaiden's feelings or what, he got the worst outfit that the others didn't like. But since there was no other choice, Kaiden just wore what was available.
"After taking pictures, you can come back tomorrow to find out the winner." said the shop owner.
Kaiden thought everyone would wait until tomorrow, but it turned out that the photographer chose who he could photograph and post on social media. Some people just lost and had to return the shop clothes they were wearing. They also swore rudely, making Kaiden shudder.
When it was Kaiden's turn, Bian, who had qualified early and was just waiting for the announcement tomorrow, came up to Kaiden and tapped him on the shoulder, saying.
"You can't possibly pass the photographer's criteria, so if you're told to go home, don't cry, okay?" Bian said, then laughed loudly and walked out of the room.
Kaiden was the last one, and the photographer's tired face made Kaiden's courage shrink.
Kaiden slowly approached the photographer, then he paused in front of the man and smiled awkwardly.
"Will I be told to go home? I entered this competition just so I could qualify, then I could buy clothes at a discount, but if I don't qualify-"
"Here he is! Look at this young man!"
Kaiden was startled by the photographer's shout, he didn't expect the photographer's face to brighten instantly upon seeing Kaiden.
"That's right, I've seen this young man from the start, he's exactly my type," said the shop owner.
"Please stand there and pose," said the photographer, already ready with his camera.
"Does this mean I'm off the hook and can buy clothes at a discount?" Kaiden asked.
"No, you can choose a few pieces of clothing and take them with you for free, just don't forget to come back tomorrow," said the shop owner.
Kaiden was happy to hear that, it meant he had passed, right? He would also get free clothes, even though he hadn't won.
After doing a few poses at the photographer's direction, Kaiden was accompanied by the shop owner to get his free clothes.
The store employee who had previously looked down on Kaiden could only gawk in disbelief, he also couldn't believe Kaiden could turn so handsome just for a change of better clothes.
Although at first glance the clothes were ordinary, but after Kaiden wore them, they became very good-looking. Some customers who saw Kaiden immediately asked the shop staff to get similar clothes.
Thanks to Kaiden, several pieces of clothing that were previously unsold are now almost sold out.
Of course the shop owner was very happy, he felt he had found a diamond from a mud puddle.
[Being a good influence is a good first step to becoming a tycoon]
[You managed to get clothes for free]
[The reward was successfully obtained and doubled to 4000$]
Of course, Kaiden was shocked to see that his reward had been doubled just because the shop owner was kind to him. But, Kaiden still didn't understand what it meant to be a good influence. Until he saw some young men buying clothes similar to the ones he had chosen and told their friends that Kaiden had good taste.
Kaiden had only chosen what he thought was good to wear.
"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, Kai, come early!" The shop owner said after Kaiden left the large store.
Kaiden hadn't expected the owner of such a large fashion store to be waiting for him.
Kaiden immediately looked for a hiding place to store all his clothes in the storage system for safety, and he also checked the money he'd gotten.
"This much already, amazing," Kaiden muttered.
[A tycoon must have technology that helps him do business]
[Buy the best smartphone and get twice the cashback]
"So if I spend 1000$ on a new smartphone, I'll get 2000$?" muttered Kaiden.
[That's right!]
Knowing that, Kaiden excitedly went looking for a store that sold the latest and most advanced smartphones.
There was a big store not far away, selling the latest and greatest gadgets.
One of the store clerks was Kaiden's old schoolmate, and she smiled at first to greet Kaiden who looked cool in his new clothes. But that friendly smile turned into a sneer when she found out it was Kaiden.
"I thought a customer with a lot of money was coming, but it turned out to be a hobo, I heard you were beaten up because of your family debt huh? Haha, it's surprising to know you're still okay," said the girl, Citra.
Kaiden just smiled bitterly at that, because the girl wasn't wrong either. He himself was surprised to be alive, even helped by a system that came out of nowhere.
"I want to buy a smartphone," Kaiden said to the point.
Citra clucked lazily, then showed him some used smartphones.
"These are the cheapest and best, they range from 200$ to 500$, for you, this one might be more suitable, it came out a few years ago but it's still good, it just has a little problem with the screen, it's only 150$, here!" The ignorant girl handed over the worst and most used smartphone. Although the smartphone was in pretty good condition, it was clear Kaiden had to buy the latest and greatest smartphone.
"No, I'm going to buy the newest and best-" Kaiden's speech was cut short when he heard Citra laughing at him.
"You? Want to buy the newest one? How could you possibly have 1500$? Even if you did, you'd have stolen it from somewhere!"
Citra's words really hurt Kaiden's heart.
"Hey, what's going on? Is he your friend?" Another employee came in, she was also a girl and looked more friendly.
Citra rolled her eyes in disgust, "of course not, you can serve him, be careful not to let him steal." Citra said curtly, before leaving to greet another customer.
The wavy blonde girl who had just arrived smiled sweetly at Kaiden.
"Hi! Can I help you? Are you looking for the latest smartphone?" The girl said.
Kaiden also smiled and nodded, "right, give me the newest and best one, no matter the price."
"Alright, how much budget do you have?"
Kaiden shook his head, "no matter the price, I'll buy it in cash."
The blonde girl smiled broadly, then took out the latest smartphone that people were talking about.

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 Tycoon Game System 10. She choose me, not you
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

This model looks just like you, he's the talk of the social media platforms right now because of his good looks!"Kaiden looked at the photo Jenni was referring to, "What do you mean? This is me, I'm being paid to do this job, it says I have to come three times a week."Jenni cupped both of Kaiden's cheeks, so that Kaiden's lips looked like the lips of a fish."Are you serious? Oh my! No wonder you have such a luxurious apartment, thank God you didn't rob a bank."Jenni's words annoyed Kaiden, and he removed her hand from his cheek. "Do I look like a robber?"Jenni chuckled, "After all, I did some investigation on you earlier and you are indeed a

Lency's head emerged from within the strange movement on the surface of the sea."You took so long, I thought you were captured by divers or something!" shouted Nicho.Lency laughed and lifted something from the water.They were surprised to see what the mermaid had brought.A 60 cm long salmon, as well as three large squids that were about 30 cm long.Lency lifted them up by magic, then threw them onto the yacht."Then how are you going to get back up here?" asked Nicho, still shouting so that Lency could hear him well."Don't worry! 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
159. The beautiful and scary ocean
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
157. When the rain comes
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
154. How about camping?
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
