Urban: Powerful Man

Chapter 8

Maximus's shout was loud, and all the passengers in the subway stood up, while Jennifer hurriedly checked her handbag.

"Oh no! My phone is gone."

"Where is my wallet?"

"I've lost both my phone and wallet."

...

Many people exclaimed as they discovered their belongings were missing.

"It's him, he's the thief!"

At this moment, many people realized their belongings were missing, and their anger erupted. All hesitation vanished, and recalling what had just happened, Maximus immediately pointed at the group of people accused of theft. In an instant, a group of strong men swiftly ran over and pinned down the thugs. One of the thugs with blonde hair reached for a knife to resist, but Maximus quickly kicked him to the ground, followed by the others attacking the blonde thug.

"Oh no! We made a mistake!"

The terrified thugs pleaded and begged for forgiveness from everyone.

The passengers on the train finally spared them, but they were tied up and awaited the police at the next station. Among the four restrained individuals was the man who had harassed Jennifer earlier. He continued to explain himself, but no one believed him, and the three other thugs saw someone as unlucky as themselves and didn't bother explaining either.

Therefore, the others also thought the man was lying and didn't release him from his restraints.

Seeing that unfortunate man, Jennifer was extremely pleased. At this moment, she even said, "He was deliberately harassing me earlier. When the police arrive, please help me as witnesses."

Hearing this, everyone became even more outraged, and they didn't want to listen to the man's explanations. Someone immediately stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth.

The man was extremely frightened but couldn't speak, so he could only glare at Maximus.

Maximus chuckled disdainfully.

Before long, they arrived at the next station, where the police were already waiting. After escorting the individuals onto the police car, the train started moving again. Jennifer, however, didn't rush to leave but looked back at Maximus and thanked him:

"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would have had my belongings stolen by those criminals. I'm really grateful!"

Jennifer smiled at Maximus.

Maximus smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just a small matter!"

After saying that, he didn't say anything more. However, Jennifer felt an extraordinary attraction from him and decided to strike up a conversation:

"I'm Jennifer, which company do you work for?"

"Oh! I'm called Maximus. I'm the CEO of a famous corporation in Los Angeles."

After Maximus introduced himself, Jennifer was taken aback, but then she burst into a bright smile. "Maximus, you're really funny. How can a big boss like you ride the subway? Moreover, no one has ever told you that you have a knack for making people happy?"

Jennifer looked at Maximus, finding him quite amusing when he claimed to be the CEO of a large company in Los Angeles.

But because she already had a very good impression of Maximus, she thought he was just joking. If one day Jennifer discovered that Maximus was actually telling the truth, she would probably be shocked. After all, Maximus was very young, and she couldn't believe he was the CEO of some company.

"If you're looking for a job, you can contact me. I'm working as an assistant director at SunSun Fashion Company. Here's my business card. If you need any help, please feel free to reach out to me! I'm really grateful for your assistance earlier. Thank you so much!"

After talking for a while, Jennifer thanked Maximus once again. She rarely took the subway, and being harassed and pickpocketed was her first time, so she was a bit scared.

Maximus laughed and said, "I just don't like those who do bad things. If it were someone else, I would have helped as well!"

Although he said that, part of it was also because Jennifer was beautiful. Therefore, Maximus enthusiastically helped Jennifer.

After a few minutes of conversation, the train stopped, and Jennifer had to get off.

Watching Jennifer disappear, the ghost disappeared, and Maximus didn't feel any regret. With his status, there was no shortage of beautiful women he hadn't seen before, so he didn't pay too much attention to Jennifer.

"It's only been 50 minutes. There's still time. Just wait another 10 minutes, and I can complete the system-assigned task."

Maximus silently said to himself.

At that moment, the sound of the system suddenly rang out:

[Owner, intervene and help Jennifer. Stand up and expose the wicked individuals, successfully leading to their arrest by the police. For the owner's outstanding completion of the mission beyond the system's expectations, an additional 10 experience points will be rewarded.]

After the system finished speaking, Maximus saw a new frame immediately appear on the system interface:

[Experience Points: 20 points]

"That's great!"

Maximus was delighted and silently thanked the system.

20 experience points were equivalent to 2 spins on the wheel. He could spin the wheel twice.

Thinking about the wheel that the system mentioned, Maximus immediately became interested and spoke to the system, "I want to exchange my experience points for spins!"

[Confirmed!]

The system replied.

Maximus then proceeded to the spin section. In front of him, an circular grid instantly appeared. The grid had many small sections, and by pointing the arrow at any section, it would open up, revealing a random prize.

After a quick glance, he understood the rules of the game. Without hesitation, Maximus used one spin. The arrow on the circular grid spun at a very fast speed, then after about 10 seconds, it began to slow down and stopped at a yellow gift box.

"Congratulations to the owner for winning the yellow gift box."

Looking back at the introduction, Maximus noticed that the gift boxes had different colors corresponding to their level. There were four colors: purple, yellow, orange, and red! Red was the highest-value gift box, and purple was the lowest.

Yellow didn't seem too bad.

Clicking on the open section, the yellow gift box immediately opened:

"Congratulations to the owner for receiving 10 experience points and a Level 1 English communication skill (Level 3 is the highest)."

In Maximus's mind, he heard the system's notification sound, and he couldn't help but feel joyous.
