After precisely 6 hours had elapsed for the surgery to be completed, Edna and the others stood in anticipation outside the surgery room. When news emerged from within, they were relieved to hear the procedure was almost finished. They had been waiting impatiently for the results, and now, their wait was nearly over. Robert remained steadfast in his spot throughout the entire surgery, not uttering a word and only waiting for the best possible outcome. After a few minutes, the door to the room creaked open and two assistant doctors, who had assisted Arthur in the procedure, emerged. With a face full of questions and apprehension, Robert nervously approached the two doctors. He remained silent, desperately hoping for the response he desired. "Mr. Robert," one of the doctors began, "the surgery was a success. We optimally completed the process in around six hours, and we are thankful for the skillful guidance of the lead doctor. Rosie will make a full recovery in the near future." Robe
As Aston and Estella strolled side-by-side down the brightly lit hallway, they appeared to be in a five-star hotel as the glass lights illuminated a magnificent hall. Aston wore black executive attire, and Estella had a red dress on. Aston let out a loud chuckle, and still walking slowly, he turned to Estella. “Have you come here to see the extent of my power, The Kraken? It is an honor for me, for the Underworld Leader Rank 3 to visit my humble abode.” "You better stop talking big, Aston," Estella said sternly. "I just want to know how true your boasting is: are you really ready to destroy Mr. Glitzy or not? Because I came here tonight with some very interesting news, and I'm sure you'll be quite entertained by it." “Wow….” Aston answered, then clapped his hands lightly. "I am very interested in news from you, Estella." She continued, "I've been doing some research over the last few months. This is partially due to my loss of access to the Brown Company, which was taken over by A
After a long, tiring day of carrying out a surgery on a patient in critical condition, Arthur finally decided to take a much-deserved break and headed back to the Golden Chamber hotel. Upon arriving, he hurried to his private room, taking in its luxurious bathroom. He quickly undressed and stepped into the hot tub, which was already filled and heated. He leaned back, feeling his fatigue slowly fading away. "In just two or three days, Rosie should be able to recover," he murmured with satisfaction, reflecting on his hard-fought success. [Host, I have a suggestion for you.] "What is it?" Arthur asked skeptically. "Why do I get the feeling you're about to give me another stupid idea?" [No, this is the best advice I can give, considering that you have achieved Expert level in your surgical skills, it would be beneficial for you to find a new partner who works in the same field so you can share the knowledge you've acquired. Don't you think? That way, more people can benefit from your
"That suit is bulletproof, boss," Edna then explained, "but with limitations. You can't really rely on it to protect you from multiple bullets. Unless you have Superman's skin, you'll still be vulnerable to bullets." Arthur then responded to Edna's words with a chuckle. "What do you think I am, Edna? Of course the bullets will penetrate my skin, so I'll do my best to avoid getting hit by any bullets, even though this suit might be able to help a bit." Not long after, Alicia emerged wearing her new costume, complete with a rabbit head mask. She jogged up to Arthur, grabbed his right hand, and gave him a hug. "Arthur Oppa," she said with a smile, "I will be joining you in action with this costume as well." “Why do you seem to be having fun with this idea, Alicia?” Arthur muttered under his breath. "Isn't it my duty as your personal bodyguard, Oppa?" she replied with a giggle. Alicia has learned a great deal since she began training with Arthur; she has become a completely different
Arthur, wearing a pair of sunglasses, strode into the cafe as midnight approached. The place was an ordinary night cafe with people gathered in corners, drinking and engaging in friendly conversation. He wearily plopped down in a chair and immediately requested a cup of coffee, which he had been craving after the long, stressful day he had endured. He quickly glanced at his smartphone and waited patiently for the arrival of the individual who had arranged the meeting with him. Arthur carefully scanned the room, making sure none of the customers who had entered had anything suspicious about them. After a few moments, a woman, who was approximately the same height as Alicia, approached. Her red hair was partially hidden beneath her jacket. The girl appeared to be in her early twenties, her face hidden behind a pair of glasses and a black hat. She took a seat in front of Arthur, then raised her face and smiled at him. "Hi, I'm Eliza Peeze," she said, extending her hand. Arthur took h
"Extraordinary talents?" Arthur mumbled, repeating Eliza's words in disbelief. Eliza nodded in confirmation. "In this world, there are powers that surpass even those of the Underworld. They are a group of people with extraordinary talents, powers that are beyond the capability of a regular human." Arthur was still trying to process Eliza's words, as this was something entirely new to him; the concept of a 'System' should be only exclusive to him. Eliza was silent for a moment, awaiting a response from Arthur. Then, in an attempt to make her point clearer, she spoke again. "Arthur, I apologize if I have crossed the line. However, I have limited time, so I must explain everything as clearly as I can. I trust that you won't feel intimidated by what I'm about to tell you, as I have been completely honest with my intentions from the start—to gain your trust." Arthur pondered to himself, "Do you know about this thing, System?" [I can assure you, that if any other system were to appear
[Congratulations! You have got a partner!] [Eliza Peeze (22) - 52%] [Eliza has been desperately searching for answers to her father's death, but so far she has come up empty. Until one day, she finds someone who may be able to assist her.] [Eliza recognizes the power and influence Arthur will gain in the future, and has chosen to devote her life to him in order to achieve something greater.] [Eliza's inquisitive mind and vast imagination are stimulated when she learns about the unknown, and she wishes to experience it first-hand with someone who has made her fall in love.] [System Comment: Welcome to the new realm. This is quite the surprise, but if what you see is predictable, it won't be very exciting, will it?] Arthur raised his head to stare at Eliza, knowing how serious she was. The System had backed up her word, and it was the first time something like this had happened so quickly for him. Somehow, the System had chosen a partner for him, and as far as he knew, those on the
"So..." Alicia began as she and Arthur stepped off their motorbikes after returning to the Golden Chamber. "So you said that The Underworld leader, that woman offered to cooperate with you, Oppa?" She clicked her tongue slowly, shaking her head in disbelief. "What a crazy woman. I don't understand what that witch is thinking. And..." She then turned to Arthur, who seemed to nod and began walking towards the VIP elevator. "Yes," Arthur replied in a hushed tone. "She offered to surrender all of her forces, and she promised to share all the information she had about The Underworld without reservation." Arthur would not have been so composed had the system not confirmed Eliza's place on his partner list. Furthermore, while the reasons she expressed were valid, he didn't anticipate that such a startling twist would occur unexpectedly. As Arthur was struggling to delve further into the depths of The Underworld, one of their most prominent leaders unexpectedly declared their unwavering lo
