“You truly deserve to die. I didn't see it before, but now, I totally agree.” Alvin suddenly said and stood up as if to leave.

The startled girl stopped crying for a moment and looked up at him. Attention seekers were all like this, being dramatic because they needed someone to beg and hold them back. As long as Alvin continues to pamper her, she will continue going overboard. She suddenly sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Of course. Someone that got her entire family killed does not deserve to live.”

“You don't deserve to live, not because of the tragedy, but because you're too stupid. You knew your stupidity led to all this mess, yet you're about to do something even more unforgivable. What do you think your brother wants the most? It's to get revenge against those bastards. And what are you trying to do? You want to take the easy coward’s way out so that the enemies can continue living in peace, enjoying their lives, and scheming more atrocities. You want to die and allow them to enjoy the things they stole from your family. You're not worthy of your parents, you're a useless daughter, you're even worse than those bastards. At a time you should be thinking about how to strategize and rebuild the legacy that was lost because of you, bring the traitors to their knees, fish out the mastermind hiding in the dark, destroy everyone involved in this pain you are experiencing, and let your family be relieved in the netherworld, you're here being dramatic. Instead of earning your parents forgiveness by making amends, you want to die and disappoint them even more while the enemy lives on in happiness and comfort. You are a big idiot, go and die since you're so stupid and lack common sense.” Alvin shouted, kicking a can beside him.

The girl began to cry heavily while Alvin heaved and huffed in anger. After a while, he squatted before the girl.

“You're afraid of being alone in a cold, cruel world where you have lost everything. You don't have a dime to your name and don't even know where to start. Wherever you go, you're mocked and humiliated. The people you once helped, people who once looked up to you now spit on you without reserve because your crown is gone. You don't even know where the next meal will come from. For someone used to a soft life, all these are very terrifying and you don't know where to start from. And something probably triggered you, making you think death is the best way out. Dying and letting social security service officers pick up your body seems better than starving. At least, the immense guilt and anger in you will be soothed. But what next? What if I tell you I can take away all your concerns and hold your hand through the dark till you're able to stand on your own again? What if I help you become strong enough to get revenge? Will you still want to die?” Alvin asked, cupping her cheeks.

She looked up at him, her eyes surprised, unfocused and relieved, as if she finally found a savior.

“Leah, how old are you?” Alvin suddenly asked.

“I'm nineteen.” She murmured, avoiding his eyes.

‘Just nineteen? Which means she began to sponsor her boyfriend when she was sixteen, and probably began to date from fifteen. What kind of parents raised her? They let their underaged daughter be with a jerk. Or was she obstinate, ignoring their concern? She looks really stupid and misplaced her priority, dating at a time she should be improving herself.’ Alvin thought, trying to keep his expressions plain and avoid showing his disdain towards the pathetic blockhead.

“What about you? You got married at nineteen.” The system said with a sneer in its voice, making Alvin speechless.

After a while, he finally found a comeback.

‘Mine is different. Grandpa forced me to marry Sonya to see if she would stop being rebellious. Besides, I didn't contribute a dime to the marriage and wedding, except for the salary they forced me to hand over. Furthermore, grandpa paid off my student loans, and completed my fees which were not covered by the scholarship, letting me graduate successfully at twenty years old, and procured my results. He also secretly paid for me to get my masters degree at the cyber university. So, you see, I only got married that early because it was beneficial to my future. I didn't become stupid because I got married. I had all my senses intact and trod carefully. Just that Sonya was lower and more irredeemable than I expected, going overboard after the tragedy grandpa encountered. I think they're the ones who made him suffer a stroke. So, if you check our situation, I'm nothing like this dummy. Not at all. She's a girl yet she's spending her money on a man she's not married to.’

Alvin smiled at the girl and caressed her face, showing nothing of his initial thoughts.

“Don't blame yourself, alright? I will support you till you feel like leaving. Will you come with me?”

The girl waited for a while as if considering his words and nodded, making a wide smile spread on his face.

“Good! But you have to promise me not to think about suicide or do such a cowardly thing like putting yourself in danger.”

“I promise. I will never try to kill myself, ever again.” She whispered, making a genuine smile spread on Alvin’s face and he pulled her closer for a hug.

“Ding! Congratulations on completing your mission. You have been rewarded with fifty million dollars, a real estate coupon to cash out any villa of your choice as long as it's below seventy million dollars. One revival pill and one weapon coupon.” The system announced, making Alvin's heart skip multiple beats. The screen appeared once more, showing his account balance and inventory dashboard.

“Do you want to manifest your unlimited black master card now? It will help you to easily pay for products later.” The system added, making the bewildered Alvin even more excited.

“This system is truly real?”

    “If I'm fake, why are you still alive now?” The system bit back, almost as if it could feel emotions. “Bring out the master card.” Alvin instructed. He heard a low buzzing sound in his head and a black card appeared in his hand. His name and QR code was printed in gold on the card. “Isn't this the rumored vvip black card that less than one percent of the world’s population has access to?” Alvin muttered, feeling excited. “Of course. Your current account balance can only be fit for such a card. In the future, more money will roll in as long as you complete your missions successfully. Your card might even be upgraded to a supreme card. This time, you were compensated with ten times the amount you spent to get the bike here and other things. You even got a coupon. You only need to walk into any real estate company of your choice, select a preferred villa and the system will pay for it.”Alvin was giddy with excitement.

A familiar song began to play, making him frown. “Isn't this the song Sonya escorted me to their company to record last week? How come it's already on air?” Alvin whispered in confusion. “Why did she release it without telling me?

    “In case you forgot, grandpa is no longer here.” Sonya whispered, her eyes cold and malicious. “Free food? I handed over my salary every month for my share of the food which I never ate. I worked tirelessly, cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, and all manner of work. You all always say that since Sonya is a star, she should focus more on her acting career. I never complained and endured all the abuses you unleashed on me for the past three years. However, I will never let this go. Sonya, give me back the money I gave you for the song's production, and return the rights to my song.”“You must be pretty stupid to say that. Do you think that trash like you deserves wealth and fame? You're just a toad lusting after swan meat. All your life you're trash and will remain so. It's also good you're back. Here are the divorce papers and share transfer certificates, sign them.” Sonya growled, flinging two documents at him. Alvin chuckled. Just as he thought, the first thing they did was dig

    “What I meant were the special system missions for level 6 and above. I didn't say anything about normal system missions. You have to accept it; system missions cannot be rejected. This is urgent, you only have ten minutes before you fail the mission.” “What, ten minutes? Accept!” “Number 6 Westville, Sechon, on the roof top. A girl of nineteen is about to take her life, save her at all costs!” “Sechon? Sechon is at least twelve minutes away, and you tell me that I have only ten minutes?” Alvin whispered, his eyes wide with incredulity. “You have to find a way to get there before she falls to her death, nine minutes left.” The system's pleasant voice rang out again. However, this time it was anything but pleasant to Alvin. It felt more like the shing of the executor’s blades. He quickly broke into a run, making his way to the major road. He saw a youth on a motorbike. As the youth approached in blindening speed, he got a clearer view of the bike the boy was riding on. He was dress

    Without thinking, Alvin dived after her in a bid to catch her. His left hand grabbed a hold of her clothes at the shoulder area, while his right hand grabbed the lower part of the rail. “Two seconds.” The system added, making him more anxious.. “Done!” Alvin muttered holding the girl tightly as he gasped, breathing fast. The girl screamed and opened her eyes, noticing that someone was holding her. She looked down and immediately screamed in terror. She was hanging mid air and immediately noticed the distance to the ground the moment she looked down. “Don't scream. Ah! How can someone so small be so heavy?” Alvin snapped and groaned in pain. “Who are you? Let me go.” The girl shouted, struggling. Alvin gritted his teeth with both of his hands aching terribly. Blood was already seeping out from his palm which was grasping the broken iron rail. “If I let you go, what are you going to do? Fall to your death?

    Alvin frowned as he watched her, trying to catch his breath. However, he noticed that the air was stuffy around him, and his face was hotter than the rest of his body, unable to breathe well. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead and he immediately tried to wipe it away but met with a barrier. His frown deepened as he realized that he had forgotten to remove his helmet while rushing to rescue the girl. “No wonder it was so hot and stuffy.” He muttered and removed it. He shook his head, making droplets of sweat to fall off his body, while simultaneously exposing his handsome face. He looked sexy, strong and exhausted, with blood matting his hands and neck. One half of his top which he tore away to create a temporal bandage exposed his abs and sexy pectoral muscles, making him look incredibly hot.
