2024-10-29 19:42:56As Ethan drives Mr. Desmond home, his mind is consumed by thoughts about the man, pondering the grudge he seems to hold against him.
Lost in his thoughts, he momentarily loses focus and nearly collides with the car ahead. His reflexes kick in, and he slams on the brakes, causing Mr. Desmond to lurch forward in his seat.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to kill me? Is that your plan as my driver?" Mr. Desmond exclaims in frustration.
Ethan quickly apologizes, his voice filled with genuine remorse.
"I'm so sorry, sir. It was not intentional. Please forgive me."
Despite Ethan's plea, Mr. Desmond remains silent until they reach home.
"Give me the key," Mr. Desmond demands, his tone cutting through the air.
"I apologize, sir. It truly wasn't my intention," Ethan bows, regret evident in his voice.
Ariana, dressed to leave the house, enters the room just in time to witness the tense scene. She rolls her eyes and hisses at Ethan before storming off and slamming the door behind her.
"There will be no food for you tonight, and you won't be sleeping here," Mr. Desmond spats at Ethan.
He pleads, "Please, I have nowhere else to go."
Mr. Desmond's voice remains unyielding, "That's none of my concern. Leave the house now and return tomorrow morning, you worthless bag of endless trash."
"Okay, sir. I'll sleep outside," Ethan concedes as he slowly makes his way out, only if he knew he is a bag full of endless riches.
As he steps out into the night, Ethan mutters to himself, "Wait and see." His determination resounds in his voice.
{Mission reloading: 25%, 45%, 85%, 100%, New mission}.
"Hoping this is just another lavishing some money," he murmurs.
{Make that boy happy, reward: 100 billion}.
A confident smile graces Ethan's face; the promise of wealth is steadily growing day by day.
He waits patiently until the boy emerges from the alleyway, dressed in tattered white clothes and worn-out gray shorts.
"Hey there, young one," he calls out.
The boy, barely six years old, glances at him with a blank expression before continuing on his path.
Quickening his pace, he pursues the boy. "Wait!" he calls again. "It's polite to respond when an elder speaks to you."
The boy halts and mutters, "My dad told me not to talk to strangers."
Chuckling, he responds, "Well, you already talked to me just now."
The boy shoots back, "I'm telling you why I won't talk to you."
Surprised, he flinches. "Fair enough. So, what would make you happy?"
The boy sizes him up, turns away, and continues walking. Intrigued, he bends down to the boy's level.
"Hey, don't judge me by my appearance. Tell me what you'd like."
The boy's stomach rumbles audibly. He grins, "I think I've got it. You're hungry. Let's go."
Offering his hand, the boy hesitates before accepting it. They head to a high-end eatery known for its expensive dishes.
"Bring us the menu," he instructs the waiter.
She scoffs, handing over the menu. He passes it to the boy, who points to the priciest item.
"We'll take that," he says, and the boy gestures for three plates.
"Three plates? You must be really hungry," he remarks, prompting a nod from the boy.
"Payment first," the waitress quips with a fake smile. He hands her his card, telling her to withdraw the amount.
She gives him a mocking look but is stunned when the transaction goes through. As they wait, he and the boy converse, and their order soon arrives.
The boy devours his food hungrily, prompting him to advise, "Take it easy."
The boy finishes the first plate and drink rapidly. He pushes the second plate toward the boy, who nods and softly utters, "Home."
After packaging the remaining food, they leave. The darkness has already settled over the day.
Ethan waits for the system to signal the mission accomplished, but he hears nothing.
"Hey boy, are you happy now?" he asks.
The boy looks at him blankly and says, "Thank you," then continues on his way.
"You're not going anywhere until you're happy," Ethan insists, pulling him towards a boutique and lavishly purchasing various expensive clothes, watches, shoes, toys, and more.
Yet, the boy's happiness remains elusive.
"Grrr! Kid, you're a weirdo. Most kids your age would be thrilled with all this," Ethan says, displaying all the bags.
"I never asked you to buy me these things. You can never make me happy," the boy replies.
Ethan is shocked by this. It's the toughest mission he has encountered so far. He scratches his head, wondering what to do next. Then, another idea pops into his head.
"Let's go," he says, grabbing the boy's hand.
"But I should be at home, sir," he protests.
"Not until you're happy," Ethan insists.
They head to the amusement park, but all his attempts go wrong, and the boy doesn't even crack a smile.
Another idea strikes him: the cinema to watch a comedy. But all his efforts are in vain.
"Thanks for today, sir, but I should be on my way," the boy says and leaves.
"Not until you're happy. Tell me what would make you happy, and I'll buy it," Ethan pleads.
"You can never buy me my happiness!" the boy exclaims, causing Ethan to flinch in surprise.
"You think all this will make me happy? You're wasting your money because MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS!" he yells.
Money can't buy happiness?.
To Ethan, money means everything. He has everything he desired when his parents were alive.
He had options and can easily got any girl he want.
However, after his parents death, he losed it all simply because he wasn't rich anymore.
Tears well up in the boy's eyes. He snatches the bags from Ethan and leaves.
"I tried my best after all," Ethan shrugs.
{Mission failed, punishment: reduction of 10 million, complete 20 missions without pay.}
The screen appears, displaying the reduction.
He would become poor again before he could even finish the 20 missions.
"What! That much?" he exclaims.
Everyone around him stares, wondering who he is talking to.
"Okay, okay, what if I eventually complete the mission?"
{Punishment will be removed, but you won't be rewarded.}
He immediately chases after the boy, wondering what would truly make him happy.

Ethan wakes up earlier than usual. He quietly tends to the house and prepares breakfast. He glances at the clock and realizes he has an hour before the others will awaken. As he plates the food, he can't help but enjoy this clandestine role. He observes people's true selves by pretending to be nothing more than a humble servant. He hums a tune while setting the table.

They might beg for forgiveness, claiming they don't mean any harm, while they are wolves in sheep's clothing. Just as he is lost in thought, he hears hurried footsteps descending the stairs. Startled, he turns to see Mr. Desmond. "Good morning," Ethan greets with a bow. "Keep it," Mr. Desmond replies curtly, snatching the remote control and turning on the TV.

The room seemed to shrink as tension filled every corner. Sean's eyes bore into Ethan's, each step e. Before either could make a move, Ariana stepped forward, her voice cutting through the heavy air."Enough, both of you!" she exclaimed, standing between the two men. "We've seen enough bloodshed. There has to be a way to end this without more violence."Ethan, his determination unwavering, nodded in agreement. "She's right, Sean. We need to find a resolution, not perpetuate this cycle of revenge."Sean's gaze shifted between Ariana and Ethan, a battle of emotions playing out on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly lowered his weapon.

"I told you I know nothing about it; I am here to save her," Ethan tells the detective in the hospital. The detective presses on, "Why didn't you call the police when the abductor called you?""They warned me not to call, unless they will kill her," he said. "You should have at least told the police, and we would have looked for what to do," the detective said. Ethan exhales loudly, "The victim has told you herself that I am innocent."The detective then slams the table, "What is your business with the abductor, and why did he want you so badly that he would even kidnap someone to threaten you?". "I am not answering any more questions," Ethan says. He knows Mr. Desmond was at work.Just then, an officer enters the room and whispers something to the officer.

He looks at Sandra, who nods, giving him the go-ahead to answer the call."Hello, who is that?" his voice trembles."Hello, it's me... Alex," Alex mumbles. His voice already indicates that something is wrong."What's wrong?" he asks."The company, it's going bankrupt," Alex announces."What? How did that happen? How..." Ethan trails off."I don't know.
