"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 profits from crypto investments. If he asks for proof, I've already taken care of that.

"I am saving, and earning profits from my crypto investments!" Victor replied.

After hearing Victor's answer, Pablo looked at him in astonishment. Pablo couldn't believe it.

"You do crypto investments?" asked Pablo, looking at Victor suspiciously.

Victor nodded his head. Although secretly he was also worried that his gesture as Benyard raised more suspicion.

"Why? I'm trying to learn—"

"Very good!" Pablo immediately cut Victor off while clapping his hands once.

"What if I ask you to do business with me?" Pablo asked, continuing his conversation.

In front of Pablo, Victor looked confused. For some reason he felt uncomfortable. Throughout his eight years in the business field, Victor has always found cases of fraud starting with invitations like this.

SYSTEM: Do you want to confirm whether Pablo is lying or not?

SYSTEM: If yes, you can answer and the system will calculate Pablo's lie rate.

"Doing business?" asked Victor, looking thoughtful for a moment. "Gosh, that's surprising."

"You simply invest all your money into a club that we will run. The profits from the club go to you at 50 percent. How's that?"

Victor looked at Pablo for a few seconds. At that moment, he couldn't help but smile a faintly lopsided smile.

"Yes..." Victor answered Emanuella's request, his system. But then, he quickly corrected, "I could have accepted your business offer. But, there's something that's bothering me."

As silence fell, the holographic screen in front of Victor's face flashed:

[Two Missions Accomplished!]

[Unlocked Ability: Lie Detector!]

Then the system display changed again.

[CALCULATING THE LIE RATE...]

[Process... 10%... 30%... 55%... 68%... 88%... 91%... 100%]

[LIE RATE: 98%]

Victor sighed heavily, and at the same time felt relieved. It turned out that his instincts could still function in this moment. His guess was right.

"What are you afraid of?" asked Pablo.

"A small profit," Victor replies. "Can't it be 70 percent and 30 percent?"

Pablo was surprised by Victor's question. He looked at the two men on either side of him. They all looked incredulous at what Victor had said.

"Hey, since when did you dare to challenge me?" asked Pablo.

Intrigued, Pablo folded his hands on the table and leaned back in his seat. Pablo looked at Victor with interest.

"Looks like you've got a new personality, Benyard? You want to get that much profit share?" Pablo asked again.

Victor just sat back and relaxed.

"My investment is not small. This is the rest of the money I have. I can't afford to lose," Victor retorted.

Pablo thought for a moment. His lopsided smile indicates that he is increasingly challenged and attracted to Victor.

"If I give you that kind of profit sharing, you have to give me more profit too," Pablo said.

This is enough.

Victor cannot waste time with someone like Pablo. This day has been very tiring.

"No, no, no. I still refuse your request," Victor replied firmly.

When Pablo and his two men were surprised, Victor quickly closed his briefcase of money. Victor didn't care what Pablo thought at the time.

"You just turned me down?" Pablo asked, not taking it well.

Victor immediately nodded his head. "Of course. I'd rather give this money to do business with someone else," he retorted.

Pablo laughed sarcastically, looking at Victor with a dismissive expression.

"Damn it! You're wasting my time!"

Pablo was about to stand up and attack Victor, but the sound of a phone call stopped him. Looking down, Pablo grabbed his cell phone and immediately picked up the call.

"Hello, Big Boss! Ah, for the club? We've taken care of it! The transaction went smoothly, no hitches!"

Victor received orders from Pablo to leave the room. So Victor grabbed the suitcase in his hand and headed for the door. But he stopped in his tracks when he heard Pablo's words.

"All right, Boss Jackson! I'm going to get rid of the people on Victor's side! Who's next?"

Victor instantly stiffened where he stood. His grip tightened as he clenched the briefcase tightly.

Unfortunately, Victor couldn't get close enough to Pablo to talk to Jackson. Having just turned around, two of Pablo's men had already approached and pulled him out roughly. Meanwhile, Victor was suddenly in a daze as he wondered what Jackson was up to.

Who will Jackson get rid of?

****

[NEW MISSION: Come to The Golden Lane Restaurant and meet someone named Reynald. Give the rest of your money to invest in the restaurant]

Victor turned his gaze to the building in front of him. After rereading the system mission, Victor was confused for a moment. The name of the restaurant written on the system mission was clearly legible.

Why was it that when he came to The Golden Lane Restaurant, Victor found an unkempt building?

Victor grimaced uncertainly as he matched the image of the restaurant on the system screen with the building in front of his eyes.

"Are you kidding me, Emanuella?" asked Victor.

SYSTEM: You've come to the right place, Victor. Go inside and meet Reynald.

"How could you tell me to invest money in a restaurant that... looks like it's on the verge of bankruptcy?" Victor wasn't sure.

SYSTEM: I couldn't possibly tell you to do something that would harm you, Victor.

SYSTEM: If you don't want to do the mission, that's fine. But you must be prepared for the consequences-

"Fine! I'll do what you want!" Victor spontaneously said in a raised tone.

Because of Victor's spontaneous speech, the people around looked at him strangely. Victor was secretly embarrassed.

With quick steps, Victor immediately walked into the restaurant. As he expected, the restaurant was very quiet. There were only two customers and a man busy behind the counter. Everything inside the restaurant looked very minimalist.

Victor even saw cobwebs on the wall near the entrance. The speakers weren't on, the lights were dim, and the seating wasn't exclusive at all.

'What kind of place is this?' Victor asked himself.

"Welcome... oh my, Benyard! You've finally come here!"

Victor's gaze immediately moved to the source of the voice. The man who had been busy behind the counter was already looking at Victor. He had an enthusiastic look on his face as he stepped closer to Victor.

"Why are you coming now? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Victor frowned. Did Benyard know this person? What's going on?

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?

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

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

Jackson asked sarcastically while looking at him with a dismissive glance.Benyard gulped down saliva, his throat feeling choked instantly. He did not expect that Jackson would suddenly appear in front of him.Instantly Benyard glanced at his own body. It was fortunate that Benyard had already changed into his work clothes. If Jackson had witnessed him in his cleaning service work uniform, Benyard would have been in trouble. "Ah, are you secretly going to see your damn Victor-boss?" asked Jackson.Jackson was now several meters ahead of Benyard. Jackson stopped to look at Benyard from head to toe. After that, he put both hands in his pants pockets while laughing sarcastically."Gosh... I didn't think that asshole Victor still had

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.

But Daniel did not say anything at that time. He just watched Benyard and Hansen in tu

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.

    "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

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

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

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.

    "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
