2024-03-17 00:54:14Kaiden 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, please count it back."
Citra, who was some distance away, but kept watching Kaiden, now gaped in disbelief when Kaiden actually did have the money to buy the phone. As Citra approached Kaiden, she spoke.
"We should call the police, he must have gotten the money from stealing!" Citra said.
"Enough Citra, I'm fed up with you, you keep insulting this young man, if you don't like him, you better leave, let me serve him."
Citra clucked in annoyance, then left again with a stomp of her foot.
"I'm sorry that you got insulted like that, I hope you don't take it personally and think the shop is bad," the blonde-haired girl said.
Kaiden smiled and shook his head, "No problem, I just want to buy a smartphone, then hurry home, here's the money, please prepare the Smartphone from earlier."
The blonde girl smiled with relief that Kaiden had the money to buy the latest expensive smartphone. After all the money was counted, the smartphone was prepared so Kaiden could use it quickly.
"If you don't mind, can I ask for your number?" The blonde girl asked.
Kaiden nodded, "Of course, I'm going to open a business selling young coconut ice soon, if you like it, I hope you'll buy it."
"Of course I do, by the way my name is Jennifer, just call me Jenni," said the blonde girl.
"Just call me Kaiden, see you later!"
Kaiden immediately left the place.
[You managed to get a smartphone for 1,500$]
[3000$ prize earned!]
Of course, Kaiden was very happy because he got his money back and even doubled it.
However, Kaiden's happiness didn't last long because suddenly a police motorcycle came to arrest Kaiden. Kaiden himself was surprised because he was the policeman who helped him yesterday.
"Oh, Kaiden? We meet again." said the policeman.
Kaiden smiled and shook the policeman's hand, "Yes, it's good to see you, sir. But, why do you want to arrest me?" Kaiden asked confused.
The policeman chuckled briefly before answering, "That brunette over there reported that you stole money so you could buy a smartphone. But if you hadn't stolen the money, I wouldn't have to arrest you."
"Do you believe me or not?" Kaiden asked back, making the policeman feel awkward and uncomfortable, "I do, but I still have to do my job, don't I?"
Kaiden nodded, he understood the cop's situation, he had to do his duty.
"I earned a lot of money because my former boss gave me severance pay after I quit my job, I also entered a contest to become a fashion model of a big store before this. If you don't believe me, I previously worked in a restaurant -"
"Alright enough, I believe you, those clear eyes of yours can't lie, I know you're honest. That girl must have suspected you because she knew you were poor. I'll leave, next time you have to be careful young man."
Kaiden nodded his head, and the policeman rode off on his motorcycle.
Kaiden was actually sad because he knew it must have been Citra who reported him to the police for investigation. Kaiden had never messed with anyone, but people still didn't like him. It wasn't that he expected to be liked by people, it was just - I don't know.
Was it wrong for Kaiden to want to be liked by others, even just a little?
Kaiden ended up going home on foot, passing by the cool sidewalks as there were many shady trees along the way. He also passed some people selling snacks on the street, there were some snacks that were trending among the people.
Kaiden who had only been able to swallow his saliva if he passed by the street food, but now he had the money to buy it.
Street food there is famous for being very tasty and also cheaper than other cities. For example, sweet and spicy lobster, which is sold as a box of four lobsters with an average lobster length of 15-20 cm, is sold for around 10$ to 15$. While in big cities it may be more than that.
It's not strange, because the small town where Kaiden lives is famous as a seafood town. So seafood or other food is quite cheap there.
Kaiden, who was curious, bought a box of lobster for 12$, which the seller said was the best lobster caught by his uncle. The vendor was a very kind and sincere looking man, he was also very friendly. Although it was just a small stand on the side of the road, there were several customers in cars who came to buy.
Kaiden learned a lot from the way the man sold. One of them is to be kind, friendly and sincere in serving buyers.
After buying lobster, Kaiden also bought mango smoothies, because it was mango harvest season. Kaiden bought a cup of mango smoothies for 1.5$. It was a bit expensive for a small town resident, but since the mangoes were the best and naturally sweet, it was a bargain for Kaiden.
Kaiden was very happy to finally be able to have a snack with his own money without thinking about debt or anything.
He got home safely, he even had time to change his clothes and eat the lobster and mango smoothies he bought.
He felt relaxed and couldn't wait to start selling tomorrow.
That was until some big guys came and demolished Kaiden's house, which was basically about to collapse.
"You said you got a lot of money from your boss, but instead of paying back your debts, you just go around buying snacks like that, aren't you afraid of us? Do you want me to break your arm again?" Snapped one of them, who was the leader of the thugs.
Kaiden was terrified, so he took the 1000$ he had gotten earlier and gave it to them.
"Forgive me, I can only pay this much, I promise I'll pay it back soon because tomorrow I'm going to try selling." Kaiden said.
The chief thug counted the money Kaiden gave him, "Only this much? You still owe so much, sell properly and pay off that your family debt! I won't beat you up out of pity, but if you pay late again, I won't hesitate to crush your bones!"
Kaiden cringed at the thugs' words, he was so scared, because he felt so small compared to them. Moreover, Kaiden was the owner of the debt, so he couldn't possibly fight them.
"Poor guy, if I had a family like that, I'd probably hang myself first," Kaiden could hear the conversation from the thugs as they left his house.
"He's too stupid, but he also has no choice, we can't choose which family we're born into."
"If I could choose, I'd choose to be born into the family that owns the Royal Group of companies."
"You're right, hahahaha."
Kaiden just listened silently to their conversation, because they were right too. If he could choose, Kaiden wouldn't want to be born into such a messy family.
But the foolish Kaiden still loved his family.
[Take it easy, the system will make you much richer than the family that owns the Royal Group's big company]
Kaiden just smiled as the system tried to cheer him up.
"Thank you."

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.

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 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

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

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

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

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
