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 current situation and condition, seeing that Wendy only found him and not Gil, then there was a possibility that there was a traitor in his group. For now Damian decided to hide and find out about the condition of his group from the outside.
Damian shook his head, "There is something that keeps me from going back and I don't seem to have anywhere to go right now," Damian replied with a sigh, now he had to think about finding a place to hide after getting out of this place.
Secretly a smirk appeared on Wendy's lips, this was the opportunity she was looking for this way, then her plan could go smoothly. All Wendy needed right now was Damian's agreement to help her.
"I don't mind being your new destination, do you intend to listen to my offer?" Not wanting to waste her chance, Wendy immediately asked Damian.
Damian was immediately surprised, not expecting that Wendy would offer him something, "I will listen," Damian replied, agreeing to hear what offer Wendy had for him.
"Marry me!" Wendy excitedly said her offer.
For a moment Damian was frozen in place without being able to say a single word. "Are you crazy? How can you say that to a guy you just met?!" Damian roared angrily as he began to realize what he had heard from Wendy.
"I'm sorry. But, I haven't finished saying my offer. Given that you need a place to hide even though I don't know why you are hiding, I will provide it for you, in exchange for being my husband." Wendy began to explain why she was asking Damian to marry her.
Before Damian could open his voice, Wendy stopped him and continued, "Of course we will be bound by a contract. I won't care about anything you do, what do you think?" Wendy continued, curious about the answer Damian would give her.
One thing to know about Wendy, she is the youngest child of the Clayton Family which is one of the wealthiest business families in Las Vegas. Because of this, the situation at home is very unhealthy with a battle for the position of heir.
As the only daughter, Wendy is very dear to her father and because of that there are many of her siblings who don't like her, they want to set her up with someone problematic so that Wendy doesn't have any supporters to fight over the inheritance.
The only thing Wendy could do to break the arranged marriage was to marry someone else, which is how she offered her offer to Damian. Because she realised that Damian was not a random person, from the car accident incident, she immediately knew that someone had deliberately done that bad thing to Damian.
Meanwhile, Damian himself was still thinking about the offer given by Wendy, but he was still hesitant because he could not just trust someone he had just met, especially before he had been betrayed until he almost died.
When Damian thought about rejecting the offer given by Wendy, suddenly a machine-like sound buzzed in his head and a transparent screen appeared in front of him, which made Damian even more shocked.
Ding!
[System suggests Host accept Wendy's offer so Host can upgrade System]
"Oh my! What is this?!" Damian couldn't help but speak in shock at this moment.
Wendy, who saw Damian's strange reaction, began to furrow her brow in confusion, "What's wrong with you?" she asked in confusion.
"Didn't you see the screen that appeared in front of me? And that strange voice?" asked Damian quickly, he felt that something was wrong with him at the moment.
The frown on Wendy's forehead deepened after hearing what Damian said to her, she thought that his offer was too sudden and she was not ready for it. So Wendy decided to leave Damian alone first and think about his offer.
"I think my offer is too sudden for you, think about it, I will send someone to bring you medicine." After saying that Wendy waltzed away from the room occupied by Damian.
Wendy's departure was too fast for Damian to even react, "Seeing how she's looking at me strangely like that, it seems like I'm the only one who can see and hear this thing called System," Damian muttered listlessly.
"Hey, you System! How did you get inside my head?" asked Damian immediately forcing System to explain himself.
[Does the Host not remember?]
"How could I remember! I almost died," replied Damian, unable to comprehend the answer System gave him.
[Welcome to the System's Secret Revenge service. The System found that the body of the Host who was dying from the accident that time was suitable to enter, so now you are the Host of this System]
"Then is it because of your arrival that I didn't die?" After hearing the System's explanation, Damian came to think that he survived because of the System's arrival.
[It can be said like that. In order to maintain the life given by the System, the Host must increase Health Points by hiding their identity to take revenge and perform the Mission given by the System]
"Then I'll die if I don't do what you tell me to do?" This was one thing Damian needed to confirm with this strange System.
[That's right. Currently the Host's HP is 50, every mission the Host completes will generate HP and as long as the Host can hide themselves well the System will also give them points]
"I'll do it if you promise me to help me find who harmed me and take my revenge on them." Damian's current goal was to find the mastermind behind his pursuit back then, which he suspected was someone who had betrayed him all along.
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
It just so happened that today Wendy did not go to her boutique and she intended to go around to choose materials that would be stocked in her boutique. Therefore Wendy asked Damian to go with her and not bring many people with them. "So where are you going?" asked Damian, not expecting Wendy not to go to her company. "Can we go to the economic district in the city centre? There's a shop I often attend to," replied Wendy happily, finally able to release some of her stress. "Okay." Damian nodded his head. Then, Damian opened the door for Wendy, after which he turned around and got into the car. With that, Damian drove the car to the place Wendy told him about. It could be said that this was the first time they went out together after Damian entered the Clayton family. . . . Unlike what Damian thought, the place Wendy was going to was very luxurious and he just knew there was a place like this. It was understandable that Damian was not too interested in anything other t
Seeing so many people coming up to them to congratulate Damian thought that they still didn't know who he was. And it was times like this that Wendy's brothers would take advantage of this time to embarrass her in front of these people. "Congratulations on your wedding, it's a shame you didn't let the public see your wedding." "Why are you getting married in such secrecy?" "By the way, we've never seen you, young man. What family are you from?" The corners of Damian's lips twitched when he heard how noisy these people were, even though he could see that Wendy felt the same way as him. Wendy also tried to put on her best smile even though she felt very resentful of the situation that she and Damian were currently in. "We prefer to have a simple wedding," Wendy replied hoping that her answer would shut these people up and not ask her anymore. And that's when Damian saw from the tail of his eye George starting to walk towards them from behind. Damian pulled Wendy closer to him an
Seeing so much attention on them, Wendy tightened her grip on Damian.With sure steps they walked into the large hall that had been filled with many people.In the center of the room Damian could see Clayton's family gathered there, he could feel how they were looking at him right now.Although they seemed to be smiling at their arrival, Damian knew for sure that the intentions of the smiles were not good for him.Not only that, Damian could see their eyes looking at him still with their usual condescending gaze.Wendy, who knew that their situation would be very difficult after this, began to whisper to Damian."Are you okay? We have to get to them," Wendy whispered, still staring ahead with a confident smile on her face."I'm used to it so it's no problem. But, your family really invited all the important people in town," Damian replied with a soft chuckle.The Clayton family was great, a small party for Damian and Wendy's wedding announcement alone they could gather all the importa
As Wendy had said earlier, the Clayton mansion was starting to get busy with preparations for the party that would be held in the hall in the mansion. As everyone was busy with the party preparations Damian's life was peaceful for the past few days as no one bothered him. But, of course Damian knew that Wendy's family members were preparing a trap for him and intended to humiliate him at the party. Damian would not let that happen, especially with the money he had gotten from the system earlier. With this Damian could prepare his plan so as not to be humiliated by the Clayton family members. Earlier by chance Damian had attracted the attention of the Weston family who could have helped him gather information about the incident that almost took his life. It was time for Damian to make a move to draw them into his fold. Damian had already told Roderick to find useful information about the Westons. "They must be coming to the party tonight. I need to get their attention an
Fortunately after leaving Veronica's boutique nothing interesting happened again, when he got home in the evening Damian was finally able to relax for a while. Today Damian successfully completed the quest that the system gave him and as the system said before he would get a reward. However, Damian was quite busy today so he hadn't checked what reward he got after completing the quest. "System, how can I check the reward from the quest you gave me?" asked Damian who was on the balcony of his and Wendy's room. [The host can open the mailbox and view the notifications there] Damian immediately followed the instructions that the system told him. When Damian called the mailbox, a transparent interface appeared in front of him. And there was an unread message there Damian clicked on the message and he heard a notification start buzzing inside his head. [Congratulations! Host successfully completed the Quest. System will send the Host a reward soon!] Damian frowned as he was s
Seeing the suspicious gesture, Damian immediately restrained the man's hand that intended to hit the middle-aged woman. The rude man gave Damian a sharp look, not expecting Damian to actually interfere with his problems with the middle-aged woman. "Damn bastard! How dare you bother me!" The man glared at Damian, completely pissed off at this point. "Look who's the bastard here." Damian rolled his eyes lazily at the man's words. Before throwing the man's hand Damian gripped it firmly making the man groan in pain, only after hearing that did he throw the man's hand. \ The man fell to the ground miserably, he intended to reply to Damian but was immediately silenced when he saw the look Damian gave him. "Go away, or do you want to feel my punch?" Damian glanced at the man from the tail of his eyes while grinning. Having already sensed Damian's strength, the man let out an annoyed chuckle, then quickly ran away from there. Damian finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw
