"You should have come inside the club and greeted me. Why are you staying here?" asked Pablo as he approached Victor.Victor's face already showed concern. His eyes watched Pablo's footsteps clumsily. At that moment Victor wondered how he could avoid Pablo in ten minutes?Victor felt it was impossible for him to switch modes in front of Pablo. That would risk revealing the secret about him controlling Benyard's body."Go away. Get out of my sight," Victor said firmly to Pablo. Pablo immediately grinned because he felt challenged. His steps stopped. He turned to his four bodyguards and laughed at Victor. "Did you hear what he said? He told us to leave," Pablo said.The four bodyguards behind Pablo also laughed at Victor. Pablo took a deep breath, then exhaled. He watched Victor intensely for a split second. His memory was of the meeting between the two of them when Victor, who lived as Benyard, paid off a debt. "You know, you have no right to order me around. I'm still very cur
"What strange thing do you think?" asked Benyard, who was trying to remain calm. Pablo looked at Benyard intensely. As he walked away, Pablo did not answer anything. That's why his intimidating aura was getting stronger and stronger, making Benyard secretly more and more nervous."Too many things. How can you not remember after fighting with my bodyguard?" Pablo asked a question. Benyard was silent for a few seconds. His memory was not perfect. No matter how much he tried to force his memory to recall the previous events, he couldn't.Hadn't he just woken up from a stupor?That meant he hadn't done anything other than being unconscious before. Then, who fought with Pablo's bodyguard?Pablo had stopped in front of Benyard, still wearing a suspicious look. He bent down and looked at Benyard who was straight in front of his eyes."Before this, you were also able to pay off all your debts in cash. Where did you get the money from?" Pablo asked. Benyard furrowed his brows. What did h
Benyard's gaze moved to under his feet as per the system's instructions. Benyard was somewhat surprised to realize that a cutter had appeared. In fact, as he remembered, a few seconds ago there was nothing under his feet. "Since when did this thing..."SYSTEM: I'm giving you a chance to escape from this room. Benyard gaped. "You gave me this thing? Where and how did you come up with it?"SYSTEM: You don't have to know anything. All that matters is that you use it.SYSTEM: Every mission has a time limit. Free yourself now. Benyard was actually still very confused. He simply could not digest what was happening to him now. Also, increasingly denial that there was a system that did something like this.Unfortunately due to the time limit warning, Benyard had no choice but to rush out. Benyard finally moved his foot to grab the cutter.After successfully bringing the cutter closer, Benyard used the soles of his feet to place the object in his lap. Benyard painstakingly tried to remov
Victor was still stunned and frozen when he heard Jackson's words."Didn't you hear it wrong, Mr. Jackson? WX Company is offering a partnership for the narcotics distribution business?" asked Patrick, one of Lawenn Innovate Group's major investors.It seemed that not only Victor was surprised here, but also several people in the room. They couldn't believe what Jackson was saying."Why do you look so incredulous?" Jackson asked back. At the sight of Jackson's piercing gaze, the investors in front of him suddenly became reluctant. Despite the discomfort on each of their faces, they tried to hide it. "It's not that, Mr. Jackson. We're just surprised that WX Company is such a big company. They secretly distribute narcotics?" One of the investors asked with a serious expression. Jackson nodded casually. "Of course. Would you like to see the official proposal for cooperation that the CEO of WX Company gave me?"Upon hearing Jackson's question, Victor's curiosity was piqued. Victor st
"I won't let the profits from business go to waste," Jackson says with a satisfied smile. Victor stares dumbfounded at Jackson. For a split second, Victor didn't know what to do. His irritation with Jackson increased in just an instant.This was not something he wanted. How could Jackson let the company inherited from Rudolf, which had been guarded for decades, be ruined just because of this partnership?'Jackson... you're such a money-grubbing capitalist!' said Victor, who was already furious with Jackson.Victor turned his gaze to his trusted investors. Instead of rejecting what Jackson had said, they smiled knowingly. It was as if Jackson's word of profit was tantalizing to them.'All of you ... also want to harm Lawenn Innovate Group?!' Victor grumbled at all of his trusted investors."I will strongly support your decision, Mr. Jackson. As long as Victor is at the helm of Lawenn Innovate Group, I simply can't make a bigger profit," Bram complained with a sneer at the end of
"Where are all the bodyguards guarding this room?!" Jackson raised his tone, gawking outside the room.Benyard was suddenly confused as his words fell on deaf ears.It wasn't long before Pablo came from the side, running quickly over to Benyard. Pablo looked very angry with him.In that instant, Benyard immediately looked for a way to get away. Benyard walked to the other side of the room, away from the door so as not to be dragged out."Damn it! I asked where all the bodyguards were in front of the room!" Jackson protested in exasperation."How can I stop you, Mr. Jackson? Don't you care about Lawenn Innovate Group?!" Benyard said as he ran up to Jackson. Jackson's eyes were already on Benyard. Jackson immediately blocked the way Benyard could touch the cooperation proposal document."You know absolutely nothing! I'm the CEO of Lawenn Innovate Group now, and I have the right to do anything!" Jackson replied. Benyard unhesitatingly lunged at Jackson. He actually wanted to step tow
[CONGRATULATION, USER!][You successfully completed one mission!][Your Rewards][$5.000.000][Unlocked Skill: Danger Kick][Point For Health: +30]When the system sound echoed in his head, Benyard was not concentrating at all. Benyard was thinking about his last chat with Fredic."You don't need to know what I'm planning, Benyard. Most importantly, you don't know anything." Those were Fredic's words that seemed to imply a serious plan.Benyard didn't understand why Fredic would hide something like that so much. Now, his curiosity peaked after Fredic left him with an ambiguous sentence. "If he wasn't planning anything, shouldn't he not have said that?" Benyard wondered. Beside Benyard, Victor sat motionless. It wasn't just Benyard who imagined the tense conversation with Fredic, but Victor as well.'I've seen with my own eyes that Fredic betrayed me, why does it feel like there's still a par
"Growing faster?" Sean asked. Benyard nodded his head with a reassuring look. Because he saw the curious look on Sean's face, Benyard deliberately gave him an intimidating look. "That's right. You must want to get more visitors, right?" asked Benyard. Sean nodded his head with an enthusiastic expression."Of course! Do you know how to get it?" Sean asked his question more curiously.Seeing Sean's increasingly upright seating position and leaning slightly towards him, Benyard was secretly satisfied. Benyard paused to watch the holographic screen emanating in front of his face.[NEGOTIATION SKILL IS ACTIVE!][DO YOU WANT TO DO A SKILL COMBO TO CONVINCE THE OTHER PERSON?][IF YES, NOD YOUR HEAD. IF NO, THEN SHAKE YOUR HEAD]Benyard deliberately pretended to rub the nape of his neck while shaking his head.

Benyard, Victor-who stood beside Benyard without being seen by anyone, and Daniel did not move at all during Jhonny's funeral. Benyard and Daniel looked at each other with mixed expressions of astonishment, confusion, and disbelief at yesterday's events.Benyard did not expect that someone would kill Jhonny so suddenly. While watching Jhonny's coffin being buried, Benyard tried to find the possibility of who killed Jhonny.While Benyard was still focused on the funeral, Hansen - the detective who met them - slowly walked over. Hansen walked sneakily sideways behind Benyard and Daniel's back."Excuse me. You are Mr. Benyard and Mr. Daniel, right?" Hansen asked. Benyard was somewhat surprised to have a finger on his back. With an astonished expression, Benyard turned his gaze towards Hansen. "That's right. What's wrong?" Benyard asked a counter question.Beside Benyard, Daniel also looked at Hansen. But Daniel did not say anything at that time. He just watched Benyard and Hansen in tu
"If you mix this chemical active ingredient with the flower pollen...," Arthur spoke softly as he put the liquid active ingredient in a small laboratory vial, mixing it with the flower pollen.Boom!Arthur and Benyard suddenly stepped back in surprise at the reaction of the explosion of smoke from the two mixed ingredients. They coughed briefly while waving the smoke in front of their faces.The color of the liquid in the small vial turned bluish-purple. Benyard was stunned to witness the process of changing the color of the liquid before his eyes."This can usually be an ingredient to activate narcotic compounds if mixed with other chemicals. Unfortunately, I don't have those other chemicals yet," Arthur said."So, what is the liquid in your hand useful for?" asked Benyard. Arthur gave an enthusiastic smile, then replied, "It's a potion to strengthen immunity. Everyone who takes drugs, they also buy this and consume it regularly. So, the effects of narcotics on their bodies can't at
"Benyard Owlen."Benyard stopped what he was doing to pull the grass out of the field. When he looked back, he was surprised to see Andrean coming. He watched Andrean with a puzzled look.Andrean's leg was in better condition. Andrean was no longer using a cane to support his leg. He could now stand as before without the cast, but his steps were a little limping."Oh my. You came again," Peter, who was next to Benyard, spoke instead.Benyard had to squint his eyes because of the sunlight. He didn't know why Andrean had come to him again."Aren't you tired of constantly coming to me, Andrean?" asked Benyard who was looking at him seriously.Benyard slowly stood up from his sitting position. Benyard looked at Andrean with a very annoyed look in his eyes."Were you so happy after defeating me that time?" asked Andrean in exasperation. The curve of a sardonic smile spread across his face.Benyard raised his eyebrows. He had no idea why Andrean would ask such a question."Ah, you feel your
"Benyard, I've gotten information about Arthur."After almost a week had passed, Daniel came again to Benyard's visiting room. Daniel immediately handed over the folder of documents he was carrying through the gap under the divider between inmates and visitors.The curious Benyard finally accepted the folder and opened it slowly. On the front page was Arthur's ID. The ID paper had the symbol of the National Narcotics Agency."I got information while he was working at the National Narcotics Agency. There is a lot of information on what narcotics projects he researched. He has six years of experience at the National Narcotics Agency," Daniel explained to Benyard.Benyard frowned, somewhat surprised to hear Daniel's words."Six years? That's quite a long time," Benyard said, giving his opinion. "What made him resign from his job at the National Narcotics Agency and choose to join the company that ended up framing him?"Daniel said, "In my opinion, Arthur has a very pressing need, Mr. Ben
"So, how did you learn about narcotics?" Benyard asked as he approached Arthur who was reading a book.Every inmate here had their own free time. Only two people in each cell can get that free time. Right now, in Benyard's cell, it was Benyard and Arthur.This is the perfect moment for Benyard to find out information from Arthur in as much detail as possible.The two of them were at the edge of a quiet field. There were only about five inmates relaxing here. Some of the inmates from the other cells who were also getting free time were wandering around or staying somewhere else."Why are you suddenly asking such a question?" asked Arthur who looked at Benyard in astonishment.Benyard curved his smile with a facial expression that implied meaning. On the other hand, Benyard immediately lit a cigarette before finally taking a deep drag. He exhaled the smoke while calming himself down."It's nothing. I'm just curious, because I've never met anyone who studies narcotics. Even to the point
"Benyard, you know what? Since your fight with Andrean, you've suddenly become the topic of conversation," Janson approached Benyard who was looking at the plant in front of his eyes.After resting for a while in the prison's maintenance unit, Benyard decided to join the planting activity. The schedule was moved to the afternoon so that Benyard could have time to rest.Hearing Janson's words, Benyard turned his gaze away briefly. He watched Janson with a puzzled look. Then he turned his gaze back to the plants."They're wondering exactly how you beat Andrean in your fight," said Arthur who was busy fertilizing the plants.Benyard immediately frowned. Wait. He beat Andrean?"What do you mean I beat Andrean?" Benyard asked Arthur.Instantly Arthur stopped the movement of his hand, then he looked at Benyard with a look of astonishment in his eyes."You don't remember what happened to you after the fight?" Arthur asked."Too bad you didn't join the conversation in the infirmary, Arthur. H
"Benyard, are you okay?" asked James who was already looking at Benyard with a worried look.Benyard slowly opened his eyes as he groaned. His head felt very dizzy now. But he tried to adapt to the light in the room."What happened to me?" asked Benyard who wore a confused expression.James let out a long sigh with his eyes closed. He lowered his head automatically because he felt so relieved."I thought something very serious had happened to you," said James in an agitated tone.Benyard furrowed his brow in confusion. He did not remember what happened to him last time. All he remembered was the fleeting image of him confronting some men. There were sounds of yelling and whispering mixed together."I don't really remember anything, James. What happened to me?" Benyard asked later.James whose face initially looked worried gradually turned into a look of astonishment."You don't remember at all?"Benyard shook his head with a very innocent expression."I only remember the sound of yell
"Benyard Owlen. Can you do this kind of work?"Benyard stopped moving when he heard another man's voice behind him. He recognized this voice. Although he had only heard it once, his brain had immediately recorded this man's voice as a danger to be avoided."Isn't someone like you used to living amidst glamor and power?"Without having to look back, Benyard already knew that the man behind him was Andrean.Andrean did not come alone. There were other footsteps scraping against the asphalt as well. It wasn't just one step, but several.Benyard knew that Andrean came with several people. Meanwhile, he was cleaning the back garden area alone."Ah, you're here at last," Benyard replied with a rude sigh.After saying that, Benyard slowly turned around. Benyard saw Andrean coming with four other male prisoners.Benyard almost held his breath after seeing so many people in front of him. The problem was that they were all definitely against him. Meanwhile, Benyard was not with James, Janson, P
"I can already read from your aura. You are indeed an important person who will have various meetings for your business affairs, even after you go to prison."Benyard looked annoyed at Janson who was giving him an expletive. This was the umpteenth time Janson had not stopped mocking him. I didn't know if he was just joking with Benyard or if he was really mocking him as a CEO."Janson, stop it. You're going to make him angry. Just look at the disheveled look on his face," Peter retorted, wiping Janson with his small towel.Janson hissed with a sardonic glance at Peter as he held his slashed hand."It hurts, Peter. Why do you use that stinky towel of yours so often to attack others?" Janson said in exasperation.Peter immediately chuckled without feeling guilty at all.On the other hand, Benyard was still stepping from the hallway of this prison cell. Actually, he did not intend to walk with these four male prisoners around him. But they suddenly appeared beside him and followed him wa
