2023-09-16 03:30:49"I am a bum, but I just became a shareholder in this five-star hotel and just banned you and your mannerless friends from this restaurant. You know, I loved you, but after what you did to me in that restaurant, I never want to see your face ever again!" Victor yelled, his voice filled with anger and disappointment.
"Guards, take them out of this restaurant," Victor commanded in a stern tone.
"Ladies, please head toward the exit. Don't make us drag you out," one of the guards added in a firm voice.
"You're going to pay for this, Victor! I don't care who you think you are, but this is not over!" one of Natalie's friends yelled defiantly.
“Yeah, you haven’t seen the last of me!” Tacha chimed in.
The guards escorted them out of the hotel, leaving them standing outside with disgruntled expressions. This experience was one of the most humiliating moments they had ever faced.
"Who does Victor think he is? I can't believe he has that kind of power to kick us out of the hotel," Tacha complained.
"Yeah, I thought Natalie told us he was broke and that she had been the one paying most of his bills," one of the girls added, all eyes turning to Natalie.
Natalie was still in shock, unable to process how Victor had gained such influence or ended up with Esther Kingston.
"Yes, Victor was broke and didn't have any money. I don't know how he became rich all of a sudden and even a shareholder in the hotel," Natalie mumbled softly.
"There must be a logical explanation for all this, but for now, let's find another hotel for our girls' night. Victor will definitely pay for what he's done to us," Tacha declared with determination.
Meanwhile, Victor was sitting in front of Esther, reflecting on the heated scene.
"That got intense. You certainly caused a scene," Esther remarked calmly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause a scene. Natalie and her friends just couldn't accept being thrown out," he replied, sighing as he took a sip from his wine glass.
He felt a sense of satisfaction for having successfully taken revenge on Natalie and her friends.
Suddenly, the white screen of the system appeared before him.
[System Notification: 1st Mission Generated]
Victor wondered what this mission entailed, knowing that Esther couldn't see the white screen.
[Mission 1: You are going to work as a delivery man at any delivery company of your choice and become the Employee of the Month.]
[Mission Time Limit: 63 days]
[Reward: $3,000,000 and an opportunity to study any course of your choice (part-time), and you will unlock the system's Beginner's Medal.]
[The money previously given by the system will be reclaimed, leaving only what is left.]
'What on earth! This will make me poor again. You can't do that!' Victor panicked inwardly but couldn't express it loudly to avoid arousing Esther's suspicion.
[Disclaimer: If you don't pass the mission within the given time, the system will be inactive for 2 years. However, if you succeed in time, you'll receive the rewards and future missions. Other terms will be discussed as you progress.]
'So, all I have to do is become a delivery man within those 63 days and become Employee of the Month, and then I'll pass the mission, right?' Victor thought.
[Yes]
'Alright, I accept the mission.' The white screen of the system disappeared. Victor knew he couldn't afford to let the system go dormant for two years. It was a miraculous opportunity that had come into his life, and he was determined to make the most of it, earn the rewards, and pursue a part-time course to become a graduate.
"Victor! Victor!" Esther's voice brought him back to reality.
"Hey, what's up?" Victor asked, realizing his surroundings once more.
"You zoned out there for a moment, what's up?" Esther inquired, raising an eyebrow. Victor's phone buzzed with a notification, and he took it out to find that he had been debited $760,000, leaving him with only $496, which was the initial amount he had left in his account.
"Freaking hell!" Victor exclaimed loudly. He knew the system wanted to reclaim the money, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"What's wrong?" Esther asked, her concern growing as she observed Victor's distress.
Victor looked at her and replied, "Nothing, it's nothing." Esther could still sense that something was bothering him, but if he said it was nothing, she decided not to press further.
Stephen approached their table with a blue file in hand and placed it in front of Victor. "Here are the shares. You can sign them now; they are officially yours," Stephen said, offering a warm smile.
Victor smirked, remembering that he now owned shares in the hotel, and the money was technically his own. Even after he completed his mission, the money in the hotel would remain untouched. However, he needed to secure a delivery job as soon as possible.
"Thanks, Stephen," Victor said, shaking Stephen's hand as he walked away.
"You now own a share in the hotel. Congratulations," Esther congratulated him, sipping her wine.
"Thank you," he replied with a smile.
Although he now had the share certificates in his hands, multiple thoughts swirled in Victor's mind. He contemplated discussing his need for a job with Esther, who appeared to be wealthy and influential.
"Esther, can I talk to you about something?" Victor asked softly, locking his eyes onto hers.
"Go ahead, what is it?" Esther responded.
"You know, I lost my job earlier today, and I kind of need to find another job, but I don't have the qualifications for a high-paying position. So, I don't know if you could help me secure a job, maybe something like a delivery job or a cleaning job, something along those lines," he explained calmly. He didn't want to be too direct about the type of job he was seeking, hoping not to arouse Esther's suspicions.
"Wait, what kind of job were you doing before, and didn't you just buy shares worth more than a million dollars in this hotel? Why would you be looking for another job? What's going on? I need you to make everything make sense to me," Esther demanded, rising from her seat with a puzzled expression.

Victor knew he couldn't reveal the truth about the system, so he had to come up with a plausible explanation. "I've been working as a cleaner at a software company for a few years now. Over that time, I managed to save up a decent amount of money, which I spent earlier. But I really do need a job. Although I bought shares in the hotel as an act of revenge, I can see it being a great investment, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes. So, please, is there anything you can do to help me?" Victor hoped that his fabricated story would convince Esther to lend him a hand."That's impressive. You know, if I had known the money you used to pay for our dinner was your life savings, I wouldn't have let you pay. Regardless, I can help you secure a job. I own a delivery company called Premount Delivery Company. Have you ever heard of it?" Esther asked.Victor's eyes widened, and his mouth fell open. Premount Delivery Company was one of the most reputable companies in the entire country and learn

"What if I don't want to go with you?" Victor asked, raising an eyebrow."Then you'll have yourself to blame for what happens next," Duke retorted. Victor swiftly yanked his arm away from Duke's grip and sprinted down the street."Hey!" Duke yelled as he gave chase. Victor had no idea where he was or why this stranger was pursuing him. All he knew was that he had to escape.As he ran through the unfamiliar streets, thoughts raced through Victor's mind. "Who is this guy, and why is he after me? What did I do to provoke him? I don't even know where I am. How will I find my way home?" Panic gripped him as he continued to flee.Victor stopped abruptly when he spotted an alleyway between two buildings on his left. Glancing back, he saw that Duke was about ten feet away. Without hesitation, he darted into the alleyway, emerging onto another street where cars sped by. He knew he had to cross the road."I need to cross this road, no matter what," Victor muttered to himself. Just as he was abo
VICTOR CAREER SYSTEM TACHA'S DOUBLE PLANS
Victor sat in front of a police detective, ready to recount his harrowing experiences.The detective’s name was Fred, as it was clearly read on his badge. "Tell me, what happened exactly?" Fred asked, folding his hands in front of Victor."What happened was that I was waiting outside a five-star hotel waiting to catch a cab and head home when the man pulled up in a motorcycle in front of me. He offered to give me a ride, but I found it suspicious and declined. He suddenly grabbed my arm tightly, I broke free from his grip and escaped." Victor continued explaining how the whole event happened up until he made his way to the station."Oh my word, that must have been an intense experience. I am glad you took the initiative to come straight down here; that’s smart of you," Fred commended with a smirk."Yeah, I figured he might know my house address since he knew where to find me," he replied."First of all, do you have any idea who he is or who might have sent him to you?" Fred asked, rai

They came down from the car and stood in front of the building. Fred took out his cellphone and went to the group chat as he dropped a message that he had arrived at the location with Victor. The COP replied that he should wait there with Victor, that a man will come and meet up with them, and that after the man arrives, Fred should leave the place.“Sir, are we going to go inside?” Victor asked curiously, staring at Fred.“Let’s wait for a bit; I am requesting backup just in case,” Fred answered. Victor nodded as he turned to look at the building. Suddenly he saw a tall man coming out of the building, and as the man got closer, he realized that it was Duke.“Officer, that’s the man! Arrest him!” Victor yelled as he looked at Fred.From the way Victor reacted, Fred realized that it was indeed the man who assaulted him. He wondered why the COP would want him to take Victor to a man who might probably harm Victor, but he didn’t want to lose his job or do anything that might offend the C
VICTOR CAREER SYSTEM THE MYSTERIOUS BOSS
“I am not going to res….ist, all I want to know is, who is your boss? And what did I do to deserve all this?” Victor asked under his breath.“I am not going to tell you all of that; just know that you destroyed someone’s dinner tonight; that’s all you need to know,” Duke responded softly as he started untying Victor. After he was done untying him, he grabbed him from the chair and placed him on his shoulder as he rushed out of the room.Victor realized that the person responsible for all that is happening to him would be Natalie or one of her friends; he recalls humiliating them and having them thrown out of the restaurant, so he knew all that was happening to him right now must be a retaliation of one of them.***The following morning, Victor opened his eyes as a bright light shone into his eyes. He looked around and saw that he was inside a hospital ward. Since Duke carried him on his shoulder, he lost consciousness and couldn’t remember anything that happened after that.Victor tr
VICTOR CAREER SYSTEM THE INTERVIEW
Victor folded his hands together, thinking about what he was going to tell Esther. He knew he had to tell her that he wouldn’t be able to show up for the interview to get the job, and he also knew he had limited time to complete the mission. What he could do now is plead with Esther and hope that she agrees to give him the job after he heals. He also hopes that he heals earlier so that he will be able to complete the mission in time, he thought.The doctor came and handed the phone over to Victor, telling him that he would wait outside the ward and give him 10 minutes to make his phone call before he would come back in. Victor nodded.Victor quickly dialed Esther’s number as she answered the call.“Hello, it’s me, Victor Garcia."“I know, where are you? I thought you said you were coming for the interview this morning." Esther knew that it was Victor because she had saved his number.“I won’t be able to make it. I had a terrible accident last night, and due to that, I lost my ability

Even though he had these doubts, he was still hopeful that something good might come out. This was the first time he felt hopeful in a long time.He thought of calling Esther immediately, telling her that he had secured the job, and thanking her. He picked up his cellphone and called Esther; she answered the call.“Hey, what’s up?” She asked calmly.“I got the job, and I want to thank you for helping me secure the job; you are the best,” Victor said with a lot of excitement in his voice.“Don’t mention it; I am glad you got the job,” she replied.“So, how are you doing? I hope you are feeling better. And have you gotten over your breakup?” Esther bombarded him with questions.“I am feeling better, and I have gotten over the breakup. I feel good,” he responded. Victor didn’t want to further involve Esther in his problems.“How about you? How’s your day going?” Victor inquired.“It’s going great,” she responded.“I have to get back to work.

“What are you saying right now? Why do you think he won’t press charges? Look, try and make things right with him; I don’t want Victor to escalate things; I don’t want to be in the middle of all this,” Natalie begged. Natalie knew how connected Tacha and her family are, but she had no idea what Tacha could do.“Natalie, calm down; let’s meet for dinner and talk about things,” Tacha suggested.“Dinner where?”“I will send you the address; see you then, but before then, please don’t do anything."“I won’t,” After that, Tacha ended the call.Natalie dropped the phone on the center table that was in front of her. “I can’t believe Tacha went after Victor, even though she promised that she was not going to do anything bad to Victor,” Natalie mumbled with a pity look in her eyes. Even though she now despises Victor, she couldn’t help but feel guilty about the whole thing.But as far as she knows, she was not going to contact Victor or tell him that she knows the person who sent a thug after

What happened exactly?” Santos said this with his hands clasped on the desk and his eyes focused on Victor.“The thing is, a student of mine went missing two days ago; his name is Kacy Turner, and we looked for him but couldn’t find him anywhere. The police are currently looking for him, but there's been no progress. I happened to overhear a conversation with the principal of the high school and found it suspicious, so I snuck into his office after school hours and hacked into his computer. I know it’s illegal to do that, but I just needed an answer."“I understand, but what did you find after you hacked into his computer?”“Everything is in this drive over here; you can have a look for yourself,” Victor handed the drive to him.Santos placed the drive on the laptop on his desk.

Have the police started their search for him yet?”“Yes, they have sent out a couple of patrol cars to look for Kacy; hopefully they find him early before the day runs out."“Yeah, I hope so too; in case they find him, just inform me about it."

The room exuded an air of quiet focus and a welcoming atmosphere, setting the stage for their mathematics lesson.
