"I feel very sorry for the accident that happened to Victor as the owner of Lawenn Innovate Group.
You all know that Victor was the leader who kept Lawenn Innovate Group in its heyday for many years.I know everyone in this room feels the same sorrow as I do. I hope you all pray for Victor's safety."On the stage of one of Lawenn Innovate Group's grand corporate rooms, Jackson stood as CEO. VIP guests, investors, and media reporters filled all the seats."Really, my feelings are very mixed right now. The accident that happened to my brother Victor broke my heart, but I'm also relieved that the Lawenn Innovate Group company didn't fall into the wrong hands." Jackson continued his previous sentence.Jackson sighed heavily and showed a troubled expression. Victor's photo, which was displayed on the LED projector screen, made Jackson look sad."I can assure you that Lawenn Innovate Group will thrive in my hands. I will not waste the opportunity I have now."The sound of thunderous applause echoed through the room. Jackson turned his gaze to the people spread out before him."Tonight I will bring you all under my leadership. As you know, the company Lawenn Innovate Group places great importance on outstanding business innovations.As of now, the Lawenn Innovate Group already houses various business fields: the culinary field, that is, there are..."Jackson stepped aside to the right side of the stage as the LED projector screen displayed a corporate building belonging to Lawenn Innovate Group."...the company U&K Healthy Barefood which also has three restaurants under it. There is Paradise Food Bar & Resto, Mokamako Bread Restaurant, Ocean Kreckes Hosue. All three are spread across New York City, Orlando, and Atlanta."When the LED screen showed all the restaurants under Lawenn Innovate Group, all eyes in the room looked up in awe. Even though they already knew that Lawenn Innovate Group was that big, they were still amazed over and over again."We also have a chemical company that produces and distributes all medicines, we pay a lot of attention to the quality of production of health products.From this Lawenn Innovate Pharmacy chemical plant, we also distribute beauty and skincare products. We have three beauty brands called..."Jackson continued to talk about all the branches of companies under the Lawenn Innovate Group. Everyone was silent as they listened to Jackson speak."Therefore, I will now be in charge of all the companies under the Lawenn Innovate Group. I have prepared several business innovations that will surely increase the company's profits."After saying that, one of the media reporters raised his hand. Jackson looked at the reporter and extended his hand, pointing at him."Yes, please speak. Is there anything you'd like to ask about the things I explained?" Jackson asked with a sweet smile.The media reporter Jackson had pointed to stood up. He was a bit hesitant to say his question."I'm going to ask a pretty important question to everyone here. After you are appointed CEO of Lawenn Innovate Group, what will be your focus for development?"Jackson immediately snapped his fingers while nodding his head briefly. Jackson smiled even wider after hearing the reporter's question."Good question! I've been thinking about this for quite some time actually. Ever since Victor's leadership, I've felt that there was something lacking in development. That is the Lawenn Innovate Pharmacy company."Everyone in the room instantly became very curious about Jackson. Including the media reporters who immediately prepared their notes."What I will do to expand Lawenn Innovate Pharmacy is to design care products for women, especially for all ages. I will also focus on medicine production and distribution, which has been weakened."While Jackson was explaining aloud, from one side of the stage, Fredic was approached by one of the bodyguards. Fredic realized something was up because the bodyguard's face looked nervous and his steps were hurried."There's a commotion going on outside the room, you need to help secure it," said one of the bodyguards on guard duty at the front of the room.Fredic was puzzled, so he ran a little fast following the hurried bodyguard. He was already feeling uncomfortable."What's the commotion?" asked Fredic in between his steps."An employee forced his way into the room and was about to protest against Mr. Jackson," the bodyguard replied."An employee?" Fredic was even more astonished.Soon Fredic and the bodyguard arrived at the side door of the room. The pathway led outside the room so Fredic could witness the sight of two bodyguards trying to restrain someone who was struggling.Fredic was dumbfounded as his steps slowed. Fredic had no idea who the very brave employee was—"LET GO! HEY, I NEED TO TALK TO THAT NEW CEO!"Benyard?Fredic was even more surprised to see Benyard's figure suddenly become so arrogant. Benyard repeatedly jerked his hand to the point of elbowing and punching the bodyguard in the face."Benyard!" exclaimed Fredic as he arrived near Benyard.Fredic's voice made Benyard, whose body was being controlled by Victor without anyone knowing, turn around. Instantly, Victor in Benyard's body curved a lopsided smile."Ah, the traitorous secretary," Victor said, much to Fredic's surprise.Fredic took offense at the remark. But he chose not to care too much."Hey, let go of his hands," Fredic said to the two bodyguards on Benyard's right and left.Victor looked at the two bodyguards who had been gripping his hands in annoyance. Victor sneered at them before looking sharply at Fredic."I have to go inside. It shouldn't be Jackson speaking as CEO!" said Victor. His heart was burning with rage, making him unaware of being in Benyard's body.Suddenly, Fredic slaps Victor, whom he sees as Benyard, for calling Jackson disrespectful."You're just an office boy. Don't go too far!" said Fredic.Victor held his cheek with a furious expression towards Fredic. Victor laughed sarcastically, laughing at himself for trusting Fredic for so many years.Now Victor was watching Fredic betray him and protect Jackson. Shouldn't Fredic, who witnessed his death that night, defend him?"I cannot comply with your request. Only Mr. Victor should be standing there, not anyone else!" said Victor, who deliberately spoke like Benyard.Before Fredic could say anything, Victor looked towards the door of the other lane that Fredic had passed through earlier. Without further ado, Victor ran straight through Fredic to that door.Meanwhile, Fredic was immediately surprised by Victor's sudden movement. He hurried to catch up with Victor who had run through the door of his lane a moment ago.Victor and Fredic's steps were hasty. Victor could hear Jackson's voice still explaining about business innovation as the CEO of Lawenn Innovate Group.Just as they reached the half-open door, Victor kicked it open until a loud thud echoed through the grand room. Victor emerged from behind the door and made everyone in the room look at him.On stage, Jackson stopped talking and was dumbfounded by Benyard's arrival. He also had no idea that Benyard's body was being controlled by Victor."AH! LOOK WHO'S TALKING!" Victor, as Benyard, spoke loudly with a forced laugh."What's this?" Jackson asked in an exasperated tone. His gaze looked left and right. "Bodyguard! Why let someone who isn't a guest come in?!"Victor walked quickly along the edge of the room. Everyone looked at him in confusion, as the atmosphere became a buzz of whispers. The media reporters also looked at each other asking questions."SHOULDN'T THE PERSON THERE BE MR. VICTOR?!" Victor said again.Victor's steps, which still controlled Benyard's body, passed through the various bodyguards. Victor made several attacks to avoid being detained.Finally Victor's steps accelerated as he approached the stage."You all betrayed Mr. Victor! Why did you so easily trust him to become the next CEO of Lawenn Innovate Group?!" Victor said loudly again.Instantly everyone became even more confused. Some media reporters began to pick up their cameras, filming or taking pictures."Why did you make this murderer the CEO of a big company?!"After Victor's words were heard, they were all immediately shocked. They were dumbfounded and looked stunned for a few seconds.On stage, Jackson was infuriated by Victor's words-which he saw as Benyard. Jackson recalled that he had told Benyard not to interfere, but now Benyard was disobeying his orders."Don't just talk!" Jackson retorted. "You have no proof that I'm a murderer! I know you just want to bring me down."Victor burst out laughing. "No proof? What if I find it?" he asked.Then Victor climbed the steps and shouted loudly in front of everyone."He's a murderer! Isn't it strange that he became CEO right after Mr. Victor went into a coma in the hospital?!" Victor asked in a loud voice."Benyard, you're out of your mind!" Jackson snapped. He looked at the people in the room. "Everyone, I apologize for the mess. He's just a rude office boy!""Do you think you can take over this company?" Victor tried to give off an intimidating aura.Jackson looked at Benyard, who was actually being controlled by Victor, with both eyebrows drawn together. There was also annoyance in his expression.Jackson approached Victor and took one of his hands to grip. As he held the microphone in his hand away, Jackson whispered."What are you doing? You should know this isn't Victor's era anymore, you idiot!" Jackson warned.Victor's grin grew wider. He moved his face away and stared at Jackson as if challenged.As Victor in Benyard's body, he said, "You will not be able to take Lawenn Innovate Group's company. Not even once.""But the company is already in my hands," Jackson retorted with a smug grin.Victor immediately gritted his teeth. "That's why I'm warning you, you shouldn't be CEO. You're not talented at all."The smug grin on Jackson's face faded slowly. Jackson immediately tightened his grip on Victor's hand.Unfortunately, Victor did not feel any pain at all. Victor then leaned closer to Jackson's ear."I've been through a lot, Jackson. That night didn't destroy me. I'm still watching you around, I won't let my company be in your hands forever," Victor whispered.Jackson stiffened instantly. His hair stood on end after hearing Benyard's words. He froze for a moment remembering the night when he almost succeeded in killing Victor.Why did Benyard say that?Only Victor and Fredic knew the events of that night."YOU!" Jackson suddenly snapped and lost control, punching Benyard's body that Victor was controlling. "BODYGUARD, GET HIM OUT OF MY SIGHT!"It wasn't long before Fredic and several bodyguards carried Benyard's body away. Inside Benyard's body, Victor was satisfied that his warning had made Jackson uneasy."HE'S A MURDERER! DON'T TRUST HIM!" Victor kept repeating his words.On stage, Jackson looks frustrated and clutches his hair. By now the reporters were taking pictures, filming, and taking notes."No need to listen to that guy! Please, what he says is a lie!" Jackson warned."I WON'T LET LAWENN INNOVATE GROUP BE IN YOUR HANDS!" That was Victor's final warning."Wow! You have this much money, Benyard?!" Pablo was shocked after seeing a large brown envelope containing a pile of money.Before Pablo could order his right hand to beat up Benyard, who was controlled by Victor, Victor deliberately placed the briefcase of money on the desk.Now, Pablo wasn't the only one gaping at the pile of money in Victor's briefcase."How can you have this much money, huh?!" asked Pablo with a hearty laugh.Victor could barely contain a sardonic smile. As Randelf had once taught him, people would turn out to be very good when it came to money."Of course I'm getting a bonus from my work so far."Pablo's eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Your work?" he asked, then laughed mockingly. "You're just an office boy. You've been complaining about not having any money. What kind of work are you talking about?"Victor was confused. There was no thought in his brain. His answer was just a spontaneous attempt to avoid Pablo's suspicion.SYSTEM: Tell him you're making good pr
[PERSONAL INFORMATION][NAME: SEAN DALLIN HARRISON][AGE: 35 YEARS OLD][OCCUPATION: Owner of The Golden Lane Restaurant, former employee of Lawen Innovate Group][Relationship with Benyard: Five years ago, Sean was the one who introduced Benyard to Lawen Innovate Group's HR. After Benyard got a job as an office boy at Lawen Innovate Group, Sean provided Benyard with a rental house and some money to survive]Wait. A former employee of Lawen Innovate Group?Victor was in disbelief after reading the writing on the system's hologram screen. As a result, his entire body froze.During this time, Victor could not recognize each of his employees. Now, seeing the condition of his former employees in person made Victor awkward."How are you, Benyard? You should have come a long time ago!" Sean said enthusiastically.Victor tried to digest what was happening now. He had never had to deal with an employee who was no longer with the company."I'm... fine," Victor replied, he was still awkward to
[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!][CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE DONE A MISSION! PLEASE GO TO THE MISSION REWARD MENU TO SEE YOUR REWARD!]After getting the order, Victor deliberately stepped aside into a small alley in the middle of two buildings. Victor made sure no one saw him. Then Victor pressed the 'Reward Mission' menu displayed on the system's holographic screen.[REWARD MISSION][+$50.000.000][UNLOCKED ABILITY: Lie Detector][Level Point: 10,000][Benyard Level and Point: Lv. 1 - 20,000/50,000]Reading the information that appeared made Victor dumbfounded for a moment. Victor still couldn't digest how there could be a system that added up the amount of wealth like this.Even when Victor opened Benyard's cell phone and saw the transfer of $50,000,000, he almost threw the phone. Victor had worked hard over the years to build his wealth. Yet this system delivers wealth in an instant?"Who exactly are you, Emanuella? Are you the human who secretly stalked me?" Victor asked in disbelief.SYSTEM:
[NEW MISSION: Go meet Chef Hanna at The Lasagnna restaurant. Negotiate for Chef Hanna to become a reviewer of The Golden Lane restaurant's food menu] [MISSION CONDITIONS: Use your 'Charming' ability. Combo the ability with your 'Negotiation' skill points until it reaches a maximum of 50 points] [INSTRUCTIONS: Ability and Skill menus are located in the 'Personal Information' menu. Follow the instructions to perform the combo ability] After reading the mission explanation written on the system screen, Victor was again dumbfounded. It took a while for Victor to digest what he had just read. Victor was now outside the hospital. He managed to sneak out and complete his disguise as a hospital office boy. "Wait. What do abilities, skills, and combo abilities mean?" asked Victor in astonishment. SYSTEM: Abilities are non-physical abilities that you possess, Victor. Abilities are granted from the moment the system is activated, you don't need to complete missions to unlock abilities. SY
SYSTEM: Victor, you have traveled almost twenty-four hours in Benyard's body.SYSTEM: Every twenty-four hours, you will automatically exit Benyard's body. You will take turns being 'awake'.Victor furrowed his brow after hearing Emanuella's words, the system. He still couldn't understand what the explanation meant."Explain to me in more detail, Emanuella. What does 'awake' mean?" Victor asked.SYSTEM: Awake is the moment when you will exit the body you control. Since you only get a 24-hour time limit, the owner of the body you're controlling also only has 24 hours before it switches back to you.SYSTEM: When you leave the body you control, you don't have complete control.Victor was naturally shocked after hearing Emanuella's explanation. He glared in disbelief after hearing that."What did you say? How did I get out of Benyard's body? What about my mission?" asked Victor, looking worried.SYSTEM: You must find a way to make Benyard understand your existence and get him to cooperate,
Victor opened his eyes as he groaned against the dizziness. As his eyes opened, Victor saw Benyard opening a letter on the table.Spontaneously, Victor straightened his body and approached Benyard. From behind, he was both serious and hopeful as he watched what Benyard was doing."Is it true that someone can live in another person's body?" asked Benyard while holding Victor's letter.With a pleading look, Victor watched Benyard.'Please believe what I wrote in that letter, Benyard,' Victor said, though Benyard could not hear him.Benyard still seemed to be thinking. "How could Mr. Victor come to my shabby house and write something like a fairy tale?"Victor had guessed that Benyard would not believe him easily. Unfortunately, Victor could not touch objects to prove his existence.Shortly after, a holographic light screen lit up in front of Benyard and Victor. Benyard's body spontaneously swayed backwards in shock."What's that light?!" Benyard muttered in panic.Victor curved a wide s
The sound of the wheels of the mop container being pushed by Benyard echoed down the hallway towards the VVIP hospitalization room. Benyard gripped the handle of the container very tightly as he approached the room.SYSTEM: You have to be careful with your disguise now.SYSTEM: You only have 20 minutes before Victor's family comes into the room.Benyard hissed sarcastically at the sound of Emanuella's system. Having not yet adapted to this, Benyard felt rather annoyed. The system's voice, which sometimes appeared suddenly, surprised him."Can't you give a signal if you want to say something?" Benyard muttered under his breath.Emanuella did not answer.Benyard, on the other hand, focused on not looking nervous. He watched the surroundings, minimizing any Lawen Innovate Group company employees who recognized him.Until finally Benyard's steps arrived at the main door guarded by three bodyguards. Benyard stopped pushing the mop container that he had been pushing.The two bodyguards guar
"Wait a minute. You're the cleaning service that came to this room, right?"Benyard's steps immediately stopped after hearing Jackson's question. Benyard was now at the doorway of the room, two steps away from Jackson's position behind him.Benyard's whole body suddenly stiffened. He deliberately lowered the top of his cleaning service hat and pulled his mask tight. Benyard still stood with his back to the Victor family.Unbeknownst to Benyard, Jackon was watching him from the ground up. Jackson frowned as he felt that the cleaning service man's posture was very different."Hey, why do you like coming into this room so much, huh?" asked Jackson, sounding suspicious.Benyard didn't answer anything. Just from Jackson's words, he already knew that the man was suspicious of him.That's why until a few seconds later Benyard deliberately kept quiet. If he made a sound, Jackson would recognize him as Benyard.Then his disguise would now fail."Why won't you answer my question?" Jackson asked
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
