[You successfully completed one mission!][Your Rewards][$200.000+][The system will give you a new mission in a while]"Why won't you say anything?" Edric asked Benyard, breaking the silence between them.Benyard instantly snapped out of his silence. He didn't know what to say to explain to Edric."I'm not sure if I should tell you this or not," Benyard replied with a hesitant tone. "But maybe I'll be able to explain to you after I get the results of Mr. Jackson's legal proceedings."Edric looked a little worried for Benyard, more like worried that something bad might happen. But after hearing Benyard mention Jackson's legal proceedings, Edric felt curious."Is Jackson going to jail?" he asked. "I don't think he can be put in jail that easily."Benyard nodded in agreement. "Right, I was thinking the same thing. I worked at the company Lawenn Innovate Group for many years."[A NEW MISSION ALERT!][FIND OUT WHO LEAKED LAWENN INNOVATE GROUP'S SECRET INVESTORS!][TIME LIMIT: 7 DAYS]Benyard was somewhat surprised after the system screen suddenly appeared with the appearance of a new mission. However, his surprise did not last long as he realized that Edric was there. "But you shouldn't immediately accuse the two bodyguards who were with Victor and Daniel at the time," Edric retorted as Benyard became suspicious.Benyard chuckled in an awkward tone, then shook his head."No, take it easy, Mr. Edric. I was just making a guess in my mind," Benyard replied.Edric nodded his head.Not long after, the saleswoman who had greeted Edric came closer. Coincidentally, their conversation had stopped."Mr. Benyard, the preparation for the car you have chosen is complete. You can proceed with the purchase process now," the saleswoman said.Edric, Benyard, Daniel, and Victor-who was invisible to the eyes of the three of them turned around in unison. They completely disco
"Are you kicking me out, Daniel? Who are you to act like you own this mansion?" Emily quipped in an exasperated tone.Daniel remained calm in the face of Emily's repeated protests."Mrs. Emily, I am the leader of the bodyguards trusted by Mr. Victor." Daniel explained in a calm tone.When Daniel's gaze looked one by one among Emily, Amber, and Richard, the three of them looked sarcastically at him.Regardless, Daniel continued, "I guard this mansion and I can't let just anyone enter it.""Woah, what did you just say? 'Just anyone'?" Emily protested even more, her tone fierce. "Do I, Victor's wife, count as just anyone while that poor office boy is allowed in?"Looking at Emily who pointed at him guiltlessly, Benyard felt resentment rise in his heart. But Benyard tried to calm his irritation."I told you that I am Mr. Victor's trusted person," Benyard replied. "I was allowed to enter Mr. Victor's mansion.""How could you? Hey, you-""Mrs. Emily, if you don't have a serious interest her
"Do you think Mrs. Emily's confession is true?" Benyard threw the question directly in Daniel's face.They were in Victor's study in the mansion. After the departure of Emily and Victor's parents, Benyard still felt curious about what Emily had said."I'm not too sure, Benyard. It might be true," replied Daniel who also looked doubtful.In the middle of them, Victor was still fidgeting with his fingers. A sense of uneasiness engulfed him as he thought about the truth about Emily's pregnancy.Victor felt that the two of them had never had conjugal relations during their marriage. Emily even avoided him every time he talked about children.Is there something that Victor didn't realize before he was thrown into the river by Jackson that night?'Why am I not sure about this? I should have known that Emily never wanted children,' Victor muttered.Benyard hissed with a very serious look of thought on his face."Wait. Mr. Victor and Mrs. Emily were married for quite some time. Did Mrs. Emily
SYSTEM: Benyard, your remaining time before Switch Body mode is twenty-five minutes. You must get ready immediately.Damn it!Benyard had forgotten that he was about to face Switch Body, but his position was now in the restaurant. Benyard was suddenly confused and worried that he might faint here.What if his plan would fall apart?"Benyard, it looks like Mr. Jackson has come to this restaurant," said Daniel who had just entered their VVIP room.Benyard immediately looked up in surprise at Daniel's arrival. He looked at Daniel in confusion, wondering what to do now."Where is Mr. Jackson?" Benyard asked."Confirming his reservation at the reception desk," Daniel replied.While Daniel was already seated in front of Benyard, Benyard was still struggling to think of the right course of action. Twenty-five minutes was not a long time to do anything.If Benyard ran out of time in the middle of executing his plan to confront Jackson, he would faint. Benyard could not possibly go into Switch
"Why are you a waiter here?" asked Jackson who looked at Daniel with a dismissive look.Daniel gave a thin, forced smile. His sharp gaze went straight to Fredic who looked at him both surprised and astonished.Daniel had not been surprised to see Fredic become Jackson's personal secretary. When their gazes met, Daniel deliberately curved his smirk."I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Jackson." Daniel began to step up to the table in the center of the gathering.Jackson watched Daniel's movements with an intense gaze. There was satisfaction on his face at Daniel's current state."Were you fired from your job by Victor's mansion caretaker?" asked Jackson, his hands now placed on his waist.Daniel caught a glimpse of Jackson as he placed the glasses on the table. He was forced to curve a faint smile again, then put on a pitiable expression."Unfortunately, no. I decided to resign from my job," Daniel replied, lying. "You see, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Victor has been lying weak in the hospital.
"What are you doing, Fredic?!" Jackson's tone rose after listening to Fredic speak.There was silence in the room. The investors were shocked to hear Jackson's high-pitched yell. They were all instantly silent, including Daniel who clamped his own mouth shut.With a calm expression, Fredic then bowed to Jackson. Fredic looked back at Daniel with a wary gaze."I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson. I didn't mean to argue or give orders. But we can't trust just anyone," Fredic replied, trying to incite implicitly.Fredic stepped closer to Daniel and looked at him intensely. During this time, Jackson and the other people in the room also remained silent. Waiting to see what he would say and do."Mr. Jackson can trust the people on Mr. Victor's side like me and the other investors because we are fed up with Mr. Victor..."Hearing that, Victor glared in surprise and disbelief at what Fredic had said. Victor spontaneously wanted to step forward, but he restrained himself again.Meanwhile, Daniel raised bo
"Yes, I said you were a fool," replied Victor as Benyard without hesitation.Jackson's gaze sharpened on Victor as the annoyance on his face grew more intense. Jackson didn't expect Benyard, who he didn't know was controlled by Victor, to dare say such a thing."How dare you call me stupid." Jackson's voice lowered and sounded offended.Victor lowered his head and straightened his gaze at Jackson.Over time, Victor smirked after seeing Jackson's reaction. He knew that Jackson was easily provoked. That was why Victor deliberately threw out words that urged his annoyance."Don't you realize? Ah... it's a pity there aren't many people who can wake you up. They're all..." Victor pointed at the bewildered investors, then his index finger stopped at Fredic."...are just taking advantage of your power and money. Are you sure they won't betray you when you're useless?" Victor continued, addressing Jackson.Jackson clenched both hands into fists. His eyes sharpened on Victor as if he wanted to
"Wait, Benyard. Wait!" Daniel immediately held the shoulders of Benyard who was stepping quickly in front of him.Benyard's shoulders, whose body was still controlled by Victor, jerked back and finally stopped walking. Only then did his gaze shift to Daniel.They were now outside the restaurant. It was very late at night and not too crowded.Daniel looked at Victor who only wore an expression of innocence."Who exactly are you?" asked Daniel, his tone so serious.Victor turned his body fully to face Daniel. His hands were stuffed into his pants pockets. He looked calm as he looked at Daniel at that moment."I'm Benyard. You already know that," Victor replied, deliberately acting out Benyard's gestures.Daniel watched Victor's face, then his gaze moved to scan the rest of his body. Daniel still couldn't deny the strange feeling of watching Benyard's gestures.Why did Benyard look different today?During
