Urban: Powerful Man

Chapter 7

The more Maximus thought, the more afraid and resentful he became towards Louis.

He picked up the phone and called his friend at the police, saying, "Adam, I need your help. Yes, that's right, it's him. I'm counting on you to handle everything."

After finishing his task assigned to Henry, Maximus quickly called in another deputy director.

"Go! Let everyone know that this year the company wants to achieve results and make money. Those who perform well will receive triple their salary as a bonus. And at the end of the year, whoever has the worst performance will be fired! Issue the announcement!"

He waved his hand, dismissing the deputy director, and only then did Henry feel relieved.

"It's easy for the chairman to scold like that."

...

Meanwhile, as Maximus left the VinOPEN company, the system immediately echoed in his mind:

[Becoming a wealthy owner may have made you forget the feeling of poverty in the past. The system is issuing a task.]

[1. Experience a one-hour subway ride.]

[2. Eat ten cheap street food dishes.]

[3. Walk from the company to the mansion.]

[Task time limit: 2 hours to complete.]

[Each task completion rewards the owner with 10 experience points, in addition to other rewards.]

[Please choose, owner.]

The system's sounds consecutively resounded in Maximus's mind.

"What? The system already has a task just like that. Okay, I have nothing better to do anyway. Alright, system, explain to me what experience points are?"

Recalling the system's mention of experience points earlier, Maximus asked.

[Owner, experience points are used to exchange for lottery tickets for the lucky draw. Ten experience points can be exchanged for one lottery ticket, which will yield a random item.]

Maximus's eyes lit up. This system was becoming more and more interesting.

Thinking about it, Maximus began to ponder.

"Which one should I choose? Huhh, I choose number 1!"

After a few seconds of thinking, Maximus responded.

Since he had already enjoyed delicious food this month, he wasn't particularly interested in street food. Moreover, there was no one selling street food here due to urban regulations. It would take too long to find one, not to mention the limited two-hour time frame, making it impossible to walk to the mansion due to the distance. The subway, on the other hand, was close to the VinOPEN company, making it the most suitable choice.

[The mission has started, and there is 1 hour and 59 minutes remaining. Please complete it promptly, Master!]

"Park my driver's car in the garage. I have something to attend to and can't drive myself!" After speaking, Maximus turned off his phone.

Descending from his BMW, Maximus headed straight to the subway platform. The subway train arrived quickly, and it was quite crowded. In the city, both buses and subways were popular means of transportation for many people.

At this moment, a beautiful woman entered the subway train.

She wore glasses, and her black hair flowed gently in the wind. She was dressed in office attire. With fair skin and a beautiful face that revealed a cold and alluring expression, she captured the attention of those around her. Her presence inside the subway train seemed incongruous.

The subway train was usually noisy, but it became somewhat quiet after this beautiful girl entered.

Jennifer frowned slightly.

Her car broke down today, so she had to take the subway. She didn't expect the subway to be so old and run-down, not to mention the stuffy air inside and the strong odor of sweaty feet that made her uncomfortable.

The train was cramped, and Jennifer approached Maximus, standing beside him.

At that moment, a man took advantage of the opportunity to approach Jennifer, seemingly trying to touch her body.

Jennifer felt her thighs and buttocks occasionally brushing against the man behind her, as if he intentionally harassed her body.

"You, move closer to me!"

Maximus frowned, speaking to Jennifer.

He didn't expect there to be someone inside the subway train who would harass others' bodies. It was truly disgusting.

Jennifer looked at Maximus and opened her mouth to speak.

"Thank you."

Maximus and Jennifer exchanged positions. The man stared angrily at Maximus, warning him not to meddle in other people's affairs.

"Oh!" Suddenly, the subway train started moving, catching Jennifer off guard, and she fell into Maximus's chest.

A gentle sensation arose in Maximus's mind.

Maximus felt a bit uneasy.

Both of them felt a little embarrassed, but no one explained or spoke. The subway train ran for a while and then stopped, and a few suspicious-looking individuals entered the train. When they saw the beautiful girl, they approached her teasingly, taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer people around at that moment, making Jennifer clearly visible.

Those individuals couldn't help but salivate at Jennifer's beauty, pushing their way towards her.

"Hey buddy, can you give up your seat for me?"

One of the suspicious individuals looked at Maximus with a smile, but his gaze revealed a clear warning.

If Maximus didn't comply, he would undoubtedly be beaten by these guys.

Maximus opened his mouth and refused, saying, "I don't want to!"

After speaking, he ignored the suspicious individuals, and the man who had harassed Jennifer earlier was threatened and forced to give up his spot by the group of suspicious individuals. Maximus didn't pay much attention, but at one point, he suddenly noticed that Jennifer's handbag was torn, obviously ripped open with a knife.

Just as Maximus noticed this, he also saw the suspicious individual holding Jennifer's phone, as Jennifer had checked the time on it earlier. He furrowed his brow, knowing that he had to help in this situation.

Suddenly, the system's voice echoed once again:

"Due to sensing the emotions of the system's owner, the hidden mission has been activated. Please make your choice."

[1. Ignore everything, let others deal with the thieves. No reward.]

[2. Become a hero, stand up for justice, and expose the crimes of the thieves. Reward: 10 experience points.]

[3. Warn Jennifer and then observe. Reward: 2 experience points.]

"Please make your choice. Failure to complete the mission will result in severe punishment for three days."

Maximus was startled, silently thinking that the system was going too far. There was another hidden mission? Anything could be turned into a mission, it seemed. But regular missions always intrigued Maximus, so he immediately made his choice.

"I choose 2."

After making his choice, the voice of the system echoed in Maximus's mind.

"There are thieves. They are thieves!"

Maximus suddenly shouted loudly, pointing at the group of suspicious individuals and the man who had harassed Jennifer earlier.
