“Please forgive me for my wrongs! I didn’t mean any of it. I was wrong for what I did. Please, forgive me and don’t leave this house!”The landlady’s voice trembled as she begged desperately. At this point, her pride meant nothing. All she wanted was for Lea to stay so she wouldn’t have to pay that huge sum of money.There was no way she could afford it.But Lea’s expression remained cold and unmoved. It was as if the woman kneeling before her didn’t exist.“Oh, I’m sorry,” Lea said flatly, her voice calm but distant. “But I can’t stay in this apartment anymore. I have to go check in to my new home. So please, hurry up and pay so I can be on my way.”The landlady continued begging, her voice cracking, but it was useless.Lea didn’t listen.She had once pleaded just like this too—hoping for mercy, asking to be heard—but the landlady had ignored her completely. Now that the roles were reversed, Lea had no intention of listening.When she had finally had enough, Lea turned away and bent

[Would you like to accept this task?]The system prompted again.Dylan exhaled softly before replying, “Sure… I’ll accept it.” He tapped the [ACCEPT] button without hesitation.He had already thought it through.He didn’t know who this Mrs. Katharine was, but from the nature of the task, it was obvious she was in serious trouble. The system wouldn’t assign something like this unless the situation was urgent.More importantly, she probably had no one else to rely on.That alone was enough for him.Besides, even if he somehow lost the mansion, it wouldn’t be the end of the world for him. He had built himself up once—he could do it again.[Congratulations on accepting the task!]The system displayed briefly.It provided a few additional details, though nothing too specific.Then another line appeared.[Duration: One Week][Good Luck]Dylan leaned back in his chair, staring at the screen for a moment before it faded away.A week.That wasn’t much time.He stood up and walked toward the wi

It was late at night in the hospital, but the place was still alive with movement. Nurses walked through the halls, a few patients sat quietly, and distant footsteps echoed through the building.Mrs. Katharine didn’t care about any of that.Her mind was focused on one thing.She stormed into the hospital with determination and headed straight for Mr. James’ office.Without knocking, she pushed the door open and stepped inside.Mr. James was seated behind his desk, going through some files. The sudden interruption made him look up sharply, his expression immediately turning cold.“And what is the meaning of this?” he said, clearly annoyed. “Why are you barging into my office like this? Do you have no respect at all? If you don’t leave right now, I’ll call security—”“I’m going to sue you if you don’t explain what you did to my daughter!” Mrs. Katharine cut in immediately, her voice shaking with anger.Mr. James paused, then frowned.“And what nonsense are you talking about now?” he ask

Mr. James was still in his office, focused on his work, when someone knocked lightly and walked in.It was one of his staff members.The man had come to remind him about the upcoming event scheduled for the weekend.It was no ordinary event.It was a prestigious award ceremony—one that would bring together elite medical figures from across the world. Influential doctors, investors, and public figures would all be present.And at the center of it all… was Mr. James.He was to receive a global award, recognizing him as one of the best doctors internationally. On top of that, his hospital was set to be elevated to an even higher status.The event itself would be held right there, in the hospital’s grand auditorium.Everything about it screamed prestige.Mr. James leaned back slightly in his chair, a proud smile forming on his lips.“How are the preparations going?” he asked. “I hope everything is in order. There shouldn’t be any mistakes.”The man nodded respectfully. “Everything is goin

“And who the hell is this?” one of them questioned. “Who the fuck is this bastard talking to us like he’s in our league?”Another burst out laughing. “Isn’t that Leo? That useless guy who’s been a junior lawyer for years now?”“Is he even qualified to be called a lawyer at this point?” someone else added, and the group erupted into laughter again.His name was Leo. He worked as a lawyer in the firm—but no one truly saw him as one.In this firm, if you worked hard and proved yourself, you would be promoted to higher positions. That was the system. That was how it was supposed to work.But Leo had been stuck as a junior lawyer for years. No promotions. No recognition. Nothing.His peers had already risen through the ranks. Some had even left the firm for better opportunities.Yet he remained exactly where he started.Worse still, his status had only declined over time.To everyone in the firm, Leo was nothing more than a joke—a useless man who didn’t deserve the title of lawyer.Some ev
