The code alpha in Adam’s words didn’t have any other planned meaning with Satania. It was none other than just to make himself feel that his actions were cool.But that wasn’t a problem. It was unlikely for Satania to not guess Adam’s plan especially when she was an artificial intelligence whose calculation power was backed up by a supercomputer.So after guessing about Adam’s plan and his current action, Satania had already guessed that Adam had planned for her to hack the claw machine and make it so that Adam’s gameplay would be in his favor.Adam’s gameplay time was decreasing as seconds passed by so Satania no longer hesitated and hacked the claw machine. To not make it look suspicious, Satania didn’t increase the number of tries that Adam would have nor increase his game time.Satania only hacked the claw machine to improve the claw strength and drop skill of the claw machine to the maximum value. But that still didn’t mean that Adam could guarantee himself that he could win.Aft
After picking up the bunny plush toy from the claw machine, Adam gave it to Amelia who was looking expectantly at his side.“Thank you, Adam.”Amelia’s soft yet alluring voice thanked Adam as she excitedly hugged the bunny plush toy.It wasn’t that she couldn’t buy this bunny plush toy with her money. But she enjoyed and cherished the memories she experienced with Adam. The bunny plush toy was nothing but a memento of her first date with Adam in the arcade.She didn’t lack money, but she did lack happiness. Her first date with Adam had brought her satisfaction and joy. She didn’t expect that she was lucky enough to have such a caring boyfriend.For someone like her who was the daughter of a top conglomerate, the most ideal decision was to give her hand in marriage to another heir of a top conglomerate for the sake of cooperation and such.Amelia had already known about and she had braced herself for whatever fiance she would have in her life. Her future was quite bleak from her expect
After leaving the Ferris wheel, Adam and Amelia felt satisfied with their date in the amusement park.It has been more than two hours since Adam and Amelia arrived and spent time in the amusement park. Not only they had tried all of the rides and games there, but they also tried all of the food that they could consume.It was the reason why they took the Ferris wheel as their last ride since they mostly reminisced about the previous experiences they had in the amusement within the Ferris wheel.So after leaving the Ferris wheel, Adam and Amelia went to one of the food stands nearby to purchase cotton candy.Amelia and Adam both held pink-colored and blue-colored cotton candy respectively. Watching the lively scene filled with joy in the amusement park, they were affected by the joyous ambiance of the amusement park.Gazing at each other’s eyes, when their eyes met, it shone with a brilliant luster of happiness and satisfaction. Smiles curved on their faces and they savored the joyous
Adam’s words undoubtedly meant that he was willing to go on a date with Amelia again. And Amelia understood it so she couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.Leaning close to Adam, Amelia pressed her body beside Adam. Hooking and wrapping her left hand around Adam’s right arm, she intimately hugged and moved closer to Adam.As if that wasn’t enough, Amelia leaned even closer to Adam, moving her head towards Adam’s face. She took the initiative to kiss him and Adam didn’t reject her advances.Adam enjoyed the soft and moist sensation of Amelia’s lips, feeling the sweet lips of hers that were adorned with the sweet taste of cotton candy.Adam and Amelia didn’t shy away from showing and expressing their feelings for each other. After all, it wasn’t the first time they kissed and hugged each other intimately.Not to mention, even if they were intimately showing their affections in public, it was drowned by the joyous ambiance in the amusement park.Those other people in public were too busy eit
Adam knew that the two options in front of him would lead to two different results.“The retry button will undeniably allow me to go back in time when I could change and prevent Amelia’s death. On the other hand, the continue button should be to not go back in time and just continue and keep it as it is.”“If I press the continue button, Amelia will still be dead but the bullet in front of me can be dodged after instantly using my bullet time skill. So even if I pressed the continue button, I won’t die but Amelia’s death won’t be changed.”“Who am I kidding? Why the fuck would I choose the continue button? I won’t waste Amelia’s love for me and I will ensure that I can change her fate and prevent her death!”Adam made his decision and pressed the [Retry] button.Afterward, Adam felt a force knock him out, causing his consciousness to fade.***When Adam regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and noticed that Amelia was leaning closer toward him, taking the initiative to hug him.I
“Don’t worry, I will keep you safe. I promise!”‘This time!’After promising Amelia, Adam becomes more resolute in saving Amelia and preventing her demise. Although Adam wasn’t under pressure to save Amelia since he could infinitely go back in time, he didn’t want to see Amelia die again.Adam and Amelia had attracted the attention of the passersby in the amusement park but Adam didn’t care. He already memorized the map of the amusement park so after carrying Amelia in a princess style, Adam went to the area in the amusement park with the most cleared area.It might be dumb to do that since it was preferable for him to find a covered area so that he and Amelia could hide safely. But for Adam, covered areas were a hindrance to him.Adam didn’t know what happened to his bodyguards and snipers but he could care less about them. At this moment, only Amelia was in his focus.Taking out the two pistols that he hid in his clothes, Adam loaded them with rubber bullets. Although rubber bullet
After sensing danger, Adam activated his bullet time skill!In his vision, everything in the world had slowed down. And because of that, he had enough time to survey his surroundings thoroughly.After surveying his surroundings, he didn’t see any stray bullets heading toward them but a beautiful girl running toward them.Due to the world being in slow motion, Adam could observe the troubled and hurried expression of the beautiful girl. He saw that there were a bunch of men in civilian clothing chasing her with a gun in their hand as well as an evil expression on their faces.At least, he could guess that those men in civilian clothing must be part of a secret organization and their civilian clothing was just to blend in the crowd until they made a move now.Apart from those lawless secret organizations who would carry guns in this public place as well as those law enforcement, it was impossible for those men in civilian clothing to be the law enforcement since when those law enforceme
When the system heard Adam’s question, it immediately replied.[That is up to the host to find out. The system’s purpose is only to assist the host to reach the Ultimate End. But it is up to the host to unravel the secrets regarding the Ultimate End.]‘In other words, Krisha is connected to the UH Foundation. And the UH Foundation is one of the secrets of the world related to the so-called Ultimate End?’[…][No comment.]After receiving that reply from the system, Adam knew that the system wouldn’t give him any more information so he didn’t force the system.Adam didn’t care much since he was confident he could discover the secret of this world especially when he possessed the Ultimate Hacker talent which could hack any device in this world even if it was an offline device.The only information he needed was confirmation from the system that his Ultimate Talents were far superior to the Ultimate Talents that the people in this world had. Otherwise, he would lose most of his advantage
Hearing the question from the chairman of Zeria, Adam was about to reply, but he heard a notification sound in his mind which halted his words.-Ding![Talent achievement task triggered.][Achievement condition: Negotiate with the chairman of Zeria and obtain 10% more shares from the chairman of Zeria, eventually replacing the chairman of Zeria and becoming the new chairman.][Awarded talent: Ultimate Businessman]Adam had already grown accustomed to the sudden appearance of system screens so he had also developed the skill to read the text displayed on the system screen as fast as possible.To give himself more time, Adam activated his bullet time skill just to increase his perception of time.That gave Adam enough time to read the contents of the system screen and knowing that it was about another talent achievement task, he was overjoyed!As for the talent achievement task forcing him to take 10% shares from the chairman of Zeria, Adam didn’t care much about it.After all, he didn’
Unlike most conglomerates in Japan and Korea which were called Zaibutsus and Chaebols respectively, the conglomerates in America were mostly public conglomerates.At least, the Zeria was such a public conglomerate and because of that, it wasn’t expected for the chairman to hoard the position for his family.Well, the shareholders wouldn’t mind it if it's someone from the chairman’s family line again if the successor was competent such as what happened in the Savannah Conglomerate.The shareholders such as the fourth shareholder knew of the notoriety of the granddaughter of the chairman. Surprisingly, in the family line of the chairman, only the chairman was excellent at business yet even the chairman’s sons and daughters weren’t suited to become chairman.The fact that the chairman chose her granddaughter meant that she was the best option he had yet that granddaughter of his was barely capable of leading Zeria.At least, they knew that if the granddaughter of the chairman became the
After saying his introduction, the chairman spoke again, “I am already getting old. Someone needed to inherit Zeria before I die so I have decided that my granddaughter will inherit the chairman position for Zeria.”“Do any of you disagree or not?”Although the chairman possessed 51% shares of the conglomerate and had voting rights in his shares, there were still some restrictions imposed on him as the majority shareholder.At least, his decision could be waived if at least 45% of the voting shares were used to go against his opinion. However, that restriction would only work on crucial decisions that would change the company as a whole and such a situation was one right now.After all, the change of chairman in the company would mean that the company would change as a whole. If the chairman that had inherited the former chairman’s shares was an incompetent person, then the value of the company would lower and the company would be ruined in that person’s hands.As if everyone had come
When the pair of old men and a young woman entered the meeting room, Adam noticed that the rest of the members in the meeting room seemed to have become more serious.‘Judging from the expressions of those shareholders, that old man should be the biggest shareholder in Zeria, aka the chairman of Zeria.’‘As for that woman, she is either the chairman’s secretary or she a relative of that old man?’When Adam thought of the latter, he felt that he seemed to have guessed the reason for holding the shareholders’ meeting.Of course, that was assuming the shareholders’ meeting wasn’t held to reprimand him for his absence from the conglomerate.The old man sat on the chair while the young woman stood behind him at the side.From the sitting position, Adam was sitting near the old man and the young kid from before. Their sitting position was nearest to each other as they both held the highest shares in Zeria compared to the rest of the shareholders.The old man has white hair due to old age as
Adam saw some middle-aged men and even old men come out of their luxury cars. But the one that attracted his attention the most was a young kid who seemed to be a ten-year-old.But even that kid was accompanied by a neatly dressed butler as well as several bodyguards.‘That kid must be the son of a big shot. Or he is probably one of the shareholders in Zeria and his shares must have been inherited from his father or grandfather.’When Adam thought of that, he didn’t care much since he was confident that all of them were human and he could easily kill them with just a bullet.He could even deal with hundreds of well-trained and well-armed bodyguards let alone just a bunch of them. His background and money might not be the greatest, but Adam was very confident in his combat skills so he didn’t have anything to worry about.He could even defeat Ultimate Humans who were said to be the pinnacle of human limit let alone normal humans like them.With that confidence in mind, Adam entered the
Spending his time in his underground laboratory, Adam barely had any breakthroughs in his research for the recipe for the beautification pill. However, it had only been several hours since he started and he knew that such a difficult task couldn’t be completed in just a day.But since it was already his bedtime and he had to deal with the shareholders’ meeting in Zeria tomorrow, Adam decided to end his research and continue after he was free. Anyway, he wasn’t desperate to create the beautification pill and he had plenty of time to create it.With that in mind, Adam went to his room and slept.When several hours had passed and it was already morning, Adam woke up on his bed and did his daily morning routine. Having remembered his crucial attendance at the shareholders’ meeting as it might possibly decide his future in Zeria, Adam immediately dressed up for the occasion as he wore a business suit.After finishing his preparations, Adam who didn’t want his suit to be dirtied immediately
“Boss, I apologize. The chairman of Zeria didn’t say anything about the reason for the shareholders' meeting. The chairman only said that attendance is obligatory.”Hearing that even his subordinate didn’t know anything about it, Adam could only sigh and wish that the reason wasn’t about himself. Otherwise, he would be forced to use his justice fist to control the chairman of Zeria so that he could take over Zeria.After all, he needed Zeria’s backing if he wanted to have the background to go against the military and government as well as support his father-in-law.Knowing that his subordinate couldn’t offer any more useful information, Adam only sighed and said, “Just keep an eye out for any suspicious actions in Zeria. Report to me if there is. Also, when will the shareholders’ meeting be held?”Hearing his boss’ question, Adam’s subordinate replied, “It will be held tomorrow at one in the afternoon. The meeting’s location will be in Zeria’s main headquarters on the top floor.”Afte
When Adam heard the report from his subordinate, he became curious about why Zeria had held a shareholders' meeting.“Did you inquire about the reason for the shareholders meeting held by the chairman of Zeria?”Adam was so busy dealing with the military and the UH Foundation that he barely had any time to even hold a public conference and announce his ownership of the second-biggest share in Zeria.After all, Adam was the second biggest shareholder of Zeria and he still had yet to officially announce his ownership of the second biggest shares. Although it was already transferred under his name, Zeria was a public conglomerate after all and they would hold a press conference whenever a new shareholder took place.It was for the sake of credibility and fanfare. Zeria made themselves known to the public because of that.So, Adam was already contacted by the chairman of Zeria regarding his upcoming press conference long before and Adam had put that on hold due to how busy he was. It was
“Yeah, yeah, I don’t care about those. I better get my end of the deal after I finish a few more missions.”Although Adam didn’t care about it, he still had to act as if he cared about it so that the military wouldn’t be suspicious that he had other motives for helping them.When Trevor heard Adam’s words, he nodded his head, “I will tell that to my higher-ups.”Receiving Trevor’s reply, Adam knew that Trevor was only a sergeant and he didn’t have much power in the military compared to those generals. Trevor was only doing his job so Adam didn’t blame him for it.“Are there any missions or not?”Knowing that the missions of the military had a high chance of triggering a talent achievement task, Adam asked Trevor about it out of curiosity.In response, he saw Trevor shook his head and answered, “As for now, there aren’t any missions related to the Ultimate Humans or the UH Foundation.”After receiving Trevor’s response, Adam didn’t bother about it anymore and left the military camp but
