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
When Adam heard of Satania’s alert, he couldn’t help but feel that it was quite unusual. After all, he already knew about Krisha’s identity from the system yet Satania was too late to tell him about it.Nonetheless, Adam could understand Satania’s situation since he was aware of the signal jamming in the amusement park.“You don’t have to worry about that, Satania. I know what I am doing.”When Adam reminded that to Satania, he noticed that a bunch of men in black suits entered the scene and surrounded Adam, Amelia, and Krisha. Inside the encirclement, Adam and Amelia weren’t panicked but the same didn’t go for Krisha who was trembling in fear.Just when Krisha thought that those men in black suits were the reinforcements from the UH Foundation, she was shocked to find out that they all bowed their heads toward Adam and Amelia.“We apologize, boss! Some thugs infiltrated the amusement park and seeing as they were a threat to your safety, we focused on dealing with them first.”One of
When Adam listened to the talent achievement task’s notification sound and read the displayed text on the system screen, he knew that he was left with no choice but to confront the Enhanced Bodybuilder.Not to mention, when Adam saw the reward for his talent achievement task, he knew that he must complete the talent achievement task if he wanted to get stronger.The appearance of the threat of the UH Foundation had prompted Adam to become as strong as possible. Although his Ultimate Talents were far superior to the successful experiment subjects of the UH Foundation, he could still be defeated by quantity since he wasn’t completely invincible.The biggest advantage that Adam currently had was that he could keep on trying and dying yet he could still fix his mistakes with his game over retry skill. So he wasn’t worried about risking it in defeating the Enhanced Bodybuilder.The worst outcome was that he would die and be forced to go back in time again. So Adam wasn’t that worried about
When Adam faced against the Enhanced Bodybuilder, even if he didn’t possess any recovery skills, he was still fearless. He was confident that he could defeat the Enhanced Bodybuilder if he was given enough time.But the premise was that his sniper team would support him from afar while there wasn’t anyone he needed to protect. The first requirement was fulfilled but Amelia and Krisha became a burden to him.“Gerald, you and the rest escort Amelia and Krisha, now!”Gerald, the leader of the bodyguard team, immediately nodded and heeded Adam’s command. For them, they knew that even if Adam planned to deal with the failed experiment subject and that would compromise Adam’s safety, Adam’s order was still above his safety.Without any hesitation, they immediately led Amelia and Krisha out of the amusement park, leaving Adam alone in front of the Enhanced Bodybuilder.It was worth noting that the Enhanced Bodybuilder was being shot by his sniper team which was the reason why it was distract
“Thank you, Satania!”Adam spoke as he canceled his perfect concealment so that Satania who was controlling the drone could locate him.Although that also allowed the Enhanced Bodybuilder to detect Adam’s presence, it didn’t pose any threat to Adam since before the Enhanced Bodybuilder could attack him, Adam swiftly took the daggers from the drone and activated perfect concealment again.After obtaining the two daggers and familiarizing himself with them, Adam couldn’t help but think, ‘It seemed that my Ultimate Assassin talent is indeed more suited for daggers than guns. At least this can give me an edge against the Enhanced Bodybuilder who didn’t possess any combat skills.’With that thought in mind, Adam didn’t deactivate his perfect concealment skill yet.The weakness of his perfect concealment skill was that it could only be in effect when he wasn’t in a state of attacking his target. When he launches his attack on his opponent, his perfect concealment skill is immediately deacti
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
