Darren frowned."Are you out of your mind?" he asked inwardly. "Don't tell me you actually believe in lottery tickets."His expression darkened."Everyone knows those things are fake. They're just tricks to fool desperate people into throwing away their money.""I'm not wasting our last hundred dollars on that nonsense."The mechanical voice replied without the slightest emotion.[Host, please purchase the ticket.][There is an extremely high probability that it is the winning ticket.]Darren remained unconvinced."High probability?" he scoffed. "That's exactly how people lose all their savings."The system repeated calmly,[Please purchase the ticket.][The Host will not regret this decision.]Darren stood silent for several seconds. In the end, he let out a helpless sigh."Fine. If this doesn’t works out you better start finding another host!”With that, he raised his head and bellowed at the salesman."Hey!"The salesman, who had only walked a short distance away, stopped and turne

The moment the system finished speaking, Darren noticed something strange.Five large security guards suddenly walked into the reception area.None of them said a word.Instead, they spread out naturally around the room, casually blocking every path leading deeper into the building.To anyone else, it would have looked like a routine patrol.But Darren immediately understood.This wasn't a coincidence.His eyes narrowed. So this was their plan.He leaned toward Joshua and lowered his voice."Joshua."Joshua was happily sipping the expensive wine."Hmm?""We're about to be robbed."Joshua nearly sprayed the wine across the table."What?" He quickly placed the glass on the table. "What are you talking about, young master?"Darren kept his eyes on the security guards."The manager isn't verifying the ticket. He's trying to escape through the back door."Joshua's face changed instantly."What?"Darren nodded."And those five security guards? They're here to stop us from chasing him."Josh

Darren let out an impatient sigh and rolled his eyes."Who are these people now? What do they want?"Without waiting for an answer, he pushed the car door open and stepped out.Joshua immediately followed.Benjamin's eyes widened in panic."What are you doing?" He hurriedly leaned out of the driver's seat. "Get back inside the car!" His voice trembled with fear. "These people look dangerous!"Darren merely snorted."Dangerous?" He looked at the armed thugs standing ahead of them before shaking his head. "If there's anyone in danger here it's definitely them."With that, he and Joshua calmly walked away from the sedan.The group of thugs parted slightly as a tall, muscular man with a scar running across his left cheek stepped forward.He rested a steel bat on his shoulder and smiled coldly."So you're the lucky winners." His eyes settled on Darren. "I'll make this simple. If you still want to live hand over the check."Darren and Joshua exchanged puzzled glances.Neither of them spoke

Darren nearly crushed the coffee cup in his hand."What kind of ridiculous mission is this?"He paced around the spacious living room with an irritated expression."Sometimes I wish that damn system were alive. So I could punch it square in the face."He paused before muttering,"Assuming it even has a face."The mechanical voice remained silent.Darren sighed heavily. "How exactly do you expect me to throw Lawrence into prison? I'm not a police officer. And even if I were, I can't just arrest people because I don't like them."He rubbed his forehead."The law doesn't work like that. People only go to prison if they've committed a crime. As far as I know, Lawrence isn't a criminal."The system immediately replied.[Correction.]Darren frowned."What correction?"The mechanical voice answered in its usual emotionless tone.[Lawrence is not merely the CEO of Lavit Technologies.][He secretly controls one of the largest drug trafficking organizations operating within the city.]Darren's

The guard's finger remained pointed at the storage room."There!""He's hiding in there!"In an instant, every armed man in the office swung his rifle toward the door leading into the storeroom.The sound of guns being cocked echoed through the warehouse.Click.One of the guards stepped forward and shouted,"Whoever you are! Come out slowly!""Hands behind your head! Try anything funny and we'll shoot!"Hidden inside the dark storeroom, Darren frowned. He had received many incredible gifts from the system.Unbelievable strength.Enhanced eyesight.Sharper senses.Even speed beyond ordinary humans.But one thing he was absolutely certain of... He could not survive being riddled with bullets.Not yet, anyway.The guard shouted again."This is your last warning! If you don't come out ...we'll open fire!"Darren silently let out a breath. There was no point remaining hidden anymore. Slowly, he placed both hands behind his head and walked out of the storeroom.The moment Lawrence saw him.
