Damian's car had entered the dark mountain road, initially thinking that they could escape from the mysterious men. However, it was unfortunate that the traps inside the mountain road were inactive, making it even more difficult for them to escape.
"I knew something was wrong. There seems to be a traitor in our group!" Damian began to panic as he felt that his current situation was really bad. He had been suspicious for a few months with the people in his family's mafia group, but he did not expect that they would move this quickly.
"So, what should we do, Boss?" Gil tried to remain calm, but to be honest he was just as panicked as Damian.
Not waiting for Damian to think of something to get out of the bad situation, the car that was chasing them was already getting closer, even the sound of gunfire again sounded from behind making the car Gil was driving swerve.
"If it's like this then the only way is to get home. Drive as fast as you can!" Damian, frustrated with their current situation, shouted to Gil to drive faster.
Tall trees were all around them, the mountain path was getting narrower with not much room to dodge. Meanwhile, the sound of gunfire that howled in the middle of a peaceful night sounded even more eerie.
Slowly, shot after shot began to hit the car Damian was travelling in, making those inside even more anxious about what their fate would be tonight. And finally, just as they were about to reach Damian's hidden house, a car suddenly appeared from their right and hit Damian's car hard.
With that collision, the car Damian was travelling in rolled over and fell into the ravine around the mountain. Although the ravine was not too steep, anyone could still die if they fell from a height with many trees blocking it.
Seeing that Damian's car had fallen into the ravine, the chasing men got out of their cars and looked in the direction where the car had fallen.
"It looks like he's dead. Send word to Boss immediately!" said one of the men who seemed to be the leader of the group.
Confirming that Damian's car had indeed fallen into the ravine, the man grinned happily before walking away.
. . .
The last thing Damian could remember before he closed his eyes was that his car had rolled over an unknown number of times and that's when he passed out because the pain he was feeling was unbearable.
Damian didn't really remember what happened after that and when he opened his eyes again this time, he realised that the room he was currently in was very foreign to him. Damian had honestly never seen this room before.
As Damian moved his body, he immediately felt pain all over his body and when he saw what happened, he remembered what happened and it made sense why his stomach was now wrapped in a thick bandage.
"Oh my! Looks like it was a pretty bad accident," Damian muttered feeling a little grateful that he could still open his eyes at this point, as he thought he was going to die when his car fell into the ravine that night.
As Damian was checking his body, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening. Startled by the unexpected arrival of someone, Damian looked up warily to see who had come into the room he was in.
"Who are you?!" With a serious face Damian asked his question while brandishing the fork that was somehow on the nightstand next to his bed.
"You're awake." The person who had just walked into Damian's room was a beautiful woman, who did not look afraid of Damian who was making a scary face.
"Don't come any closer, tell me who you are!" Even though it was a woman, Damian was still wary because he didn't know if this woman was a messenger from his enemies or not.
The woman also sighed when she saw how Damian was very wary of her, yes actually she understood it because what happened to Damian was very bad when she found him.
"You can call me Wendy. I found you at the bottom of a ravine in the Ash mountains." Wendy finally had to say what she knew so that Damian would lower his defenses on her a little.
"So you brought me here? Did you take me to the hospital?" Damian suspected that it would be a problem if Wendy took him to the hospital because the people who harmed him would find out that he was not dead and that would be bad news for him.
Wendy seemed to scratch the back of her head awkwardly, "Unfortunately not. For some reason I can't take you to the hospital," Wendy said feeling quite guilty that she couldn't take Damian to the hospital because there would be problems with her identity if she did that.
After hearing Wendy's answer, Damian breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good then. One more thing I want to know is did you bring my friend too?" Damian didn't know if Gil was placed somewhere else or what, but he needed to talk to Gil now.
"Your friend? I only found you alone in the car, there was no one else there but you," Wendy replied confused, as she didn't find anyone else in the car accident at the bottom of the cliff.
Damian immediately fell silent when he heard what Wendy said to him, "Then, where did Gil go?" Damian's mind began to be unable to think positively at this time especially after what happened before.
Seeing that Damian was silent and didn't say anything else, Wendy frowned curiously, "Is there supposed to be someone else there?" Wendy asked then.
Hearing that, Damian realized and shook his head, "I seem to remember wrong," he replied briefly, not wanting to continue the discussion about Gil.
"Alright then. I'm here to confirm your condition since you're awake now it's my turn to ask you." Wendy was seen dragging a chair towards the bed occupied by Damian at the moment.
Seeing what Wendy was doing right now, Damian felt that the woman who saved him was not an ordinary woman, he could feel a dangerous feeling from her right now.
Before Damian could open his voice to respond, Wendy had already spoken first to start interrogating Damian.
"Since you already know my name, now you have to tell me what yours is." Wendy asked that with a smile on her face.
However, Damian could tell that it would be dangerous for him if he did not answer Wendy's question, but of course Damian would not just obey Wendy's words.
"What if I don't want to say it?" replied Damian while throwing a cold glare at Wendy.
As soon as Damian finished his sentence at that moment Wendy grabbed the fork in Damian's hand and pointed it towards the man's neck, "Of course you're going to answer my question. Isn't that right?" Wendy said still with a sweet smile hanging on her lips.
At that time Damian knew that this woman who saved him was no ordinary person, now she was even threatening him. Since there seemed to be no harm in telling her name, Damian chose to give up and decided to tell Wendy. "You can call me Damian." Feeling that it would be a problem if Damian said his full name, he simply told Wendy how she could call him later. Besides, Damian also realised that Wendy did not tell him her full name, so he was just playing fair here. "I can't seem to get you to say your full name. Yeah, I don't care really," Wendy replied casually, she didn't mind what Damian was doing. "I'm just answering according to what I got." Damian just nodded slowly without saying anything else. "One more thing I want to make sure of. Do you have someone you want to contact or a place you need to go?" This time Wendy asked Damian something that she really had to make sure of, because her plan could only work if she confirmed this. For a moment Damian thought about his cu
Not immediately getting a reply from the System, Damian waited anxiously, he didn't know if the System would help him avenge the person who tried to harm him that time. [That's why the System chose the Host, the System's existence here is to help the Host realise the revenge the Host wants] If Damian thought about it, it actually made sense, he had already realised it from the beginning when he heard the name of this System, but he asked this just to be sure. It would be dangerous if this System's purpose was not in line with what Damian was aiming for. "Thanks goodness. I hope you can help me realise what I want," Damian replied then nodded his head calmly, that way he no longer felt worried about the existence of this System. [Then the Host should accept Wendy's offer since the Host would have to hide its identity from now on] "You're right, I will agree to that woman's offer. It's just that I still don't know which family she comes from, I don't know if her family will jeop
When the time came Damian was finally able to step out of the room he had been in for the past two days. As Wendy had said before, tonight they would return to the Clayton family home to introduce Damian as Wendy's husband. Then Damian was directed to a car that he believed belonged to Wendy, without waiting long he got into the car and was immediately greeted with a small box that was thrown at him. Damian frowned and glanced at Wendy in confusion, "What is this, Wendy?" asked Damian not understanding what Wendy meant by giving him a small box. Out of curiosity Damian opened the small box and he was even more confused when he saw a ring in there. "Are you stupid? Of course we have to be seen wearing rings, do you want to be caught cheating on my family?" Wendy rolled her eyes lazily. Then Damian just nodded his head without thinking about it anymore, if he didn't want to get caught then he had to do this. Damian had to focus on organising his plan for revenge. The first t
Instantly Damian's body froze, honestly he had never been treated this humiliated by others, it seemed he had to feel this kind of humiliation to increase his motivation to avenge himself on the person who had ruined his life. "Mom, what are you doing?!" Wendy got up from her position while pounding on the dining table, she could not understand what her stepmother had done. Damian also held Wendy's hand while shaking his head, "It's okay, I'm sure your family will be surprised by my arrival," Damian said while quietly glancing around. Damian could see that no one objected to what Wendy's stepmother had done to him, in fact it seemed like they were happy with the way she treated him. Damian could only sigh softly, not expecting this family to be kind to him in the future. "You go back to your room Wendy and take your husband away. His presence only brings a bad atmosphere." This time Wendy's father also spoke up and waved his hand to drive the two of them out of his way. Seein
George got up from his position angrily, it was obvious from his face that he was furious with what Damian had done to him. With quick steps George walked towards Damian and without saying anything George immediately kicked Damian's shin causing him to fall to the floor. Not only that, George started kicking Damian's stomach who had fallen down, "Feel that shit! How dare you dirty my clothes, useless people like you are better off dead!" roared George angrily while continuing to kick Damian who could only protect himself. "A bastard like you deserves it," said Sarah - George's younger sister - laughing happily as she watched George beat the helpless Damian on the floor. "It's still early, but you're making me angry. Don't you want to come with me to finish this bastard off, Sarah?!" George stepped on the side of Damian's face this time with a creepy grin on his face. "You better cut the noise, George. You'll be in trouble if Wendy sees what you're doing to her," Sarah said, cho
To get to the Black Market Damian had to climb down what seemed like endless stairs and the surroundings were very dark with the only illumination coming from the candles hanging on the walls. In the distance Damian saw a conscious light and that's when he realised he had arrived. Behind the thin black curtain that separated the area Damian could see that the Black Market was quite crowded this time. Since Damian already had his destination in mind, he walked leisurely towards the west. Damian tightened the hood of the hoodie he was wearing, he didn't want anyone to recognize him here. Although Damian rarely came to the Black Market before, still he had done a lot of business with people who often came here. "I hope that person won't reject my presence," Damian murmured, feeling quite worried because he came here without telling his friend. However, no matter how much Damian worried it wouldn't help because he had to see for himself what would happen later when he met his frie
Although still confused by the information Roderick had provided earlier, Damian was quite satisfied with the information he had gotten this time and he also found a way to contact Roderick without having to come back here. After finishing his business with Roderick, Damian immediately left the Black Market, because he didn't want people to be suspicious of him if he hung around there any longer. After all, Damian realised that he had talked with Roderick for too long and now that it was late afternoon, he had to return to Wendy. Although Wendy didn't require Damian to return at what time, he still knew to do his job well. Although Damian used to be known for his bad behaviour, at least he was a responsible man, so he had to come back now. After changing his clothes back into his neat suit, Damian returned to Wendy's private luxury boutique. When Damian arrived in front of Wendy's boutique, he immediately stepped inside but his steps were immediately stopped by someone. Damian
As Wendy had said yesterday, Damian had to be prepared because the Clayton family wanted to throw a banquet party for his wedding with Wendy. And Damian believed that the Clayton family intended to embarrass him at the party. Damian didn't want that to happen because it would make his position difficult in the Clayton family. "System, can you help me?" Damian asked his system. [Indeed, what does the Host need right now?] "I can't be humiliated at the party. Can you do something for me?" Damian hoped that the system would give him something. Right now since Damian was completely down and he didn't have the wealth he had before, he desperately needed money right now. [Actually, the System did not want to give the Host a mission yet. But, if the Host really wanted to make money, the System could give the Host a mission] "Sure, I'll do it!" Damian was determined to make money this time. Ding! [Mission has appeared! Prevent yourself from being humiliated today (0/3) Doing good to
