And then, out of nowhere, {congratulations on becoming a quadrillionaire!}.flashes across his screen.Sean began to acquire the system when he was neglected in the house. His father wasn't his biological father but his stepdad, and he was constantly subjected to abuse and curses. His mother, too, was treated poorly, often being called a derogatory name. It all became too much for him, and he attempted to commit suicide, and that's when the system surged in."Where are you coming from?" Mr. Wilson asks."I was just strolling out," Sean responds with a smile. "I am starting to like you because you are smart, but I see you are still a bastard son."Sean bows his head. "I am sorry.""Don't you know today is Mother's birthday?" Mr. Martins points out.It's clear that Sean had forgotten. He kneels before them. "I am sorry, but all I planned was to
"Today is a pivotal moment in our journey". Mr. Rex stands before them. "It's been quite a while since we've undertaken a mission of this magnitude, and we all know the reasons for that extended pause. But now, we find ourselves ascending to new heights". "I announced that a new organization will be joining us, merging the power together".They all looks at each other mumbling.As Mr. Rex continues, "I understand your shock, and it's natural, given that this organization we're talking about was once our tormentor, the very obstacle blocking our path to the world we envision. However, it's time we realize that if we persist in fighting amongst ourselves, we'll achieve nothing. That's why I proposed this collaboration – we're all pursuing the same goals."Mr. Desmond, ever the voice of caution, raises his concerns, "Are they trustworthy? What if they betray us?"Mr. Rex reassures, "You need not worry about that. We'll come to an agreement, with conditions and terms to ensure our mutua
"Who are you?" Mr. Wilson's demand reverberates through the room. Sean's heart races as an idea springs to mind, and he instinctively dials Mr. Wilson's number on his smartphone. As Mr. Wilson's phone starts to ring, his attention wavers, and he walks out of the room to answer the call."Hello Sean, why are you calling?" Mr. Wilson inquires,.Sean stealthily steps out of the room, all the while juggling the call with precision."Sir, I wanted to purchase some shoes for you, but I've forgotten your shoe size," Sean admits."Wow, you forgot my size?" Mr. Wilson chuckles, his surprise evident. "It's 40," he reveals, a sense of contentment in his voice. "That's my responsibility," Sean assures him, and with that, he ends the call. Mr. Wilson's focus returns to the mysterious individual in the room, and he rushes back inside, only to find the room empty. "Where is he?" Mr. Wilson exclaims, his voice laced with urgency. A doctor nearby rushes over to assist."What's wrong, sir?" the doc
Approximately four hours have elapsed since Sean found himself confined within the house. Time is ticking, and the urgency of his situation becomes increasingly apparent. He must escape before it's too late. In a moment of desperation, he decides to call unto Derek for assistance."What? He's locked you in?" Derek responds with a puzzled tone."Yes, he's aware that I'm working with you, and there's no time to waste. You need to stop them; they might carry out the mission today," Sean conveys with a sense of urgency.Derek scoffs, "So, what do you want us to do?""Go to Grace Hospital and wait for them before they transport the bomb to the launch site," Sean instructs."Okay, we'll do that. Be safe," Derek says before ending the call. He quickly informs the others, and they spring into action.Meanwhile, Sean is waiting anxiously in the room. His mother notices something amiss and inquires, "What's wrong?"He forces a laugh, "Nothing, Mother, absolutely nothing."His mother shrugs and
Mr. Wilson's finger hovers above the ominous red button, his heart pounding in anticipation. He presses the button, waiting for the boom! But there's nothing, just eerie silence. Bewildered, he immediately dials his goons."How is that possible?" he yells into the phone. "Wait, but I pressed the button!" he insists, frustration coloring his voice. With a frustrated slam, he angrily hangs up. Sean can't help but scoff. "You fail," he taunts. Mr. Wilson groans, perplexed by the failure. He begins repeatedly pressing the detonator in a futile attempt to activate the weapon. In frustration, he storms away from Sean and makes a call as he exits the room."Let's move to phase two. Get them ready," he orders over the phone. Phase two involves a sinister plan where some of his henchmen have voluntarily agreed to detonate the nuclear weapon in the streets if the remote control fails. It's a chilling notion; they are willing to sacrifice themselves.Five of these individuals step forward,
"Please, Father, don't do this," Sean pleads as he reaches the location, only to be surprised by the sight of Mr. Wilson holding another detonator, while the nuclear atomic bomb looms ominously on the building."Do you think I am stupid, huh? I have a backup plan for what I am doing, and even if this fails, I have another backup plan," Mr. Wilson retorts with a sinister grin."You are killing people, Father. Please, stop," Sean implores, cautiously approaching him."Anymore steps, and I won't hesitate any longer to press this. You are such an awfully smart boy, and you figured this out just fine," Mr. Wilson coldly remarks."You will regret this, Grandfather," Sean warns."You know you are talking to me, such a disrespectful kid. Anyway, nothing can stop me now," he says, his hand hovering over the detonator."Please stop!" Sean yells desperately, but Mr. Wilson shows no signs of relenting. He's about to press the button when a gunshot echoes out of nowhere. The bullet pierces throu
{Fifteen minutes earlier}.The tension in the air is palpable as Ethan is about to step into his car, but just as he's about to do so, a sudden rush of footsteps alerts him to Samuel's presence. Samuel approaches him with a concerned look on his face."What happened?" Ethan inquires, his voice shaken as he's aware that he is about to say something significant."The system just gave me a mission to stop Mr. Wilson," he finally responds, his voice low and intense. "What if he's planning something far more sinister than we can imagine?"Ethan's eyes widen in disbelief. He can sense the gravity of this new mission. "What could he be planning?" Ethan wonders aloud, his mind racing to understand the implications of the situation. In an instant, he decides to turn to his trusty system for assistance.
