Sabito twisted his head towards the door when it finally creaked opened and in, stepped a lady that's around her mid 50's.

She was wearing an apron and a flat shoe, hinting at the kind of work she's being hired to do.

Their eyes met.

“Oh, I can see you're awake.” She said, twisting a little to the side and closing the door. “I just stepped out for a moment.”

Sabito wanted to ask her name, but… “I'm sorry, but how am I here?” came out instead. This lady came just right in time as he couldn't ask the system or whatever it was.

“Oh, I'm Makio.” The woman replied, resting a hand to her chest. “I was tasked with watching over you until you woke up.”

“And…who had tasked you to watch over me?”

“My master…”

“And who's your master?”

Did she have to be so… Urghhh! Of course the person should be her master, but who was it?!

Was it the man with the leather soles back at the lake?

“His name is Muzan Sama, and he was the one that brought you in.”

Sabito's face scrunches up in a frown. He was trying so hard to remember whether he had heard that name from somewhere, but apparently, he failed miserably.

The name didn't ring a bell.

“Well, can I wait until he returns? I'd like to thank him for saving me back there.”

“Of course you definitely can!” The woman responded with a warm smile, one that tugged at something deep inside Sabito. He could not even remember the last time his own mother smiled at him like that. “But I think it will take him some time to come back after spending over seven days looking after you. That's just how nice he is.”

The smile vanished from his face in an instant, replaced by a deep scowl. His body tensed, and his breath hitched!

“Wait…what? Seven—seven days?!”

His heart pounded against his ribs. He had just blacked out, barely a second ago—or at least, that was how he felt. But now, an entire week has passed?!

His exams…he is going to fail his exams!

Before he could fully process the shock, the system's cold, mechanical voice chimed in again.

{Correct. And one more thing, Host. The funds provided must be entirely spent within five days.}

Sabito barely had time to blink before the next text message flashed in his mind again.

{Failure to do so will result in a randomized penalty. Potential consequences include: sensory deprivation.}

His heart skipped a terrifying beat when he thought of how he was going to spend the money, but found none.

{Enjoy your shopping, Host.}

Sabito suddenly jumped down from the bed, surprising the elderly woman he just knew to be Makio.

“Where are you going? Thought you said you're going to wait for Lord Muzan?”

“I'm… I'm sorry,” Sabito apologized, scratching his head sheepishly, already walking away. “Something suddenly came up.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah.”

Sabito started walking out after that but halted when he stepped outside. He was stunned, not just about how beautiful the compound was, but how master Muzan was able to make it beautiful despite how vast it was.

But he didn't have the luxury of time to appreciate it. He would come back but right now, he had a revenge to plan and some cool funds to spend.

Sabito started running, and he instantly became afraid when he realized something. His legs were moving abnormally fast, faster than they did before and even though he had run at an insanely long distance, he hadn't broken out in a sweat!

He smiled. Perks of being selected? That's nice! Muzan’s house was on the outskirts of the main city of Chicago. He started running again and in a short period of time, he arrived in the main city, pausing when he came across a commotion.

People are gathered around something he couldn't see properly no matter how he craned his head.

He wanted to leave, but he overheard someone saying something in a pity laden voice and shaking his head. “Too bad, no one is going to save that girl. Such a promising young woman.”

“Yeah, exactly. Imagine her acting career going to be gone because she couldn't afford to pay for the breach of contract.”

“Em, excuse me.” Sabito chimed in after listening for a while. “A breach of contract? How much is she owing and what is the repercussion of her non-repayment?”

“She is to pay the whopping sum of 20 million dollars. And for the repercussions… she would be to Mr Gojo and he would do to her, whatever he pleases,” the man replied, before giving Sabito a scornful look. “And why? It's not like you can afford to pay for it.”

The man hissed and turned away, not giving him another second of his time.

Sabito's hands clenched. He had heard a lot about the Gojo’s family. Of how tyrannical they are. Treating people like trash and hurting people whimsically. Gojo had lost his father, becoming the head of the family.

But he was lazy and couldn't keep up, so he turned the company into an underground network, a thug for hire. He operated discreetly, taking jobs where he and his crew were paid to handle people.

Sabito frowned. Even at that, it still doesn't justify the way they abused their power.

And that was exactly the reason he was selected, right? To bring justice to humanity. So this would be considered contradictory to his purpose of being selected if he turned a blind eye to this.

“What if I pay for her… will he let her go?”

The man turned around again, this time giving him a look that could strip someone bare and then burst into a mocking, uncontrollable laughter. “Look, this riffraff here says he can pay off Lisa's debts.” He announced in a loud tone, making people turn to look and jeer at him.

“What? That's absurd!”

“The bills are too much and you say you could pay it off? What a joke!”

Before sabito could say another word, the sound of a car screeched to a halt. The sound of the door opening and then closing followed before a deep voice boomed out! “What's happening here?!”

All eyes turned to the source of the voice and their attitudes did a 360 degrees, excluding one person, of course.

It was George from the Anderson family. They owned quite a few companies in Oakenshield, making them well known and popular.

“Oh my God! Lisa is lucky today! Master George is here and is going to pay off her debt in a flash!” A voice gushed in awe.

“Yes, exactly! I heard he even does humanitarian work and is a philanthropist too. And he likes to help a lot!”

Sabito frowned. No, he doesn't help. That information is not true. Infact, when they first moved to Oakenshield, his parents had heard this same information and tried to approach him for help.

But George had ruthlessly thrown them out like dogs that wagged it's tail for food even after he had made them kneel down to beg like pheasants. And now, they are praising him?

George started walking towards the scene and like the river parted for Moses in the red sea, everyone parted ways for him, creating a path that led to where Lisa knelt down.

Even Mr Gojo's attitude changed for a tiny fraction when he saw George as a sign of respect.

George raised his chin, hinting that he doesn't repeat the same thing twice.

“This lady here,” Gojo said, fiercely twisting Lisa's ears, making her wince, “had refused to pay me for the breach of contract. Since she dared not to pay, then I decided it was time to make an example out of her.

But since you're here, master George, hehehe, I know the debts are already settled.”

George raised his shoulders, reveling in the praises showered on him. He thought being the only son of Anderson's wasn't a bad idea after all.

“Yes, of course. The debt is paid already. You know me too well, Mr Gojo.”

“What are you waiting for then? Hurry up and thank Master George!” Gojo reminded Lisa, in a harsh tone, “or how would you have been able to repay my 20 million dollars?”

At the mention of the amount of money, all blood suddenly drained from George's face!

    Even though his family is well to do and he occasionally helps people to maintain the titles and the praises, all his allowance allocated to him wasn't even up to that amount.

    “What?!” Came Jasper's angry voice. His face immediately turned into a deep frown, and then his eyebrows immediately shot up. “That's impossible! How can it be purchased when I'm this close to paying?” “I'm sorry, but—” “Don't be sorry and let me buy the car!” He yelled, cutting off the manager's words. “I'll have to apologize again, because someone already bought the car.” The manager's demeanor suddenly turned cold, his voice chillingly firm.. Jasper noticed the change and instinctively took a step back. His hands were clasped together in front of him, his lips pressed into a tight line. Dark, piercing eyes bored into Jasper, radiating the aura of a notorious bodyguard capable of snapping a person's head off with a single touch. The intensity of his gaze was so much that it sent a wave of goosebumps across Jasper's skin.He was shocked! Just a minute ago, the manager had been friendly. He was the one who called him about the new release, so why the sudden shift? Why did he

    Back at the autos shop, Palo wasted no time darling back the number that had ordered him not to sell the car. His hands were slightly unsteady as a pressed the call button, his mind racing a marathon. He was not stranger to deal with high profile clients, but this was different. The number belonged to someone with real influence, someone powerful enough to make even a man like him think twice. He wouldn't dare offend whoever was on the other end of that line. Back then, when they call connected, a deep, commanding voice had resonated through the speaker. It had carried an unshakable authority, making Palo straighten instinctively, despite being alone. Invisible sweat gathered at his brow. Even over the phone, the presence of this person was suffocatingly damning, when he ordered him to let him know when Jasper had left. “H-hello,” Palo voice slightly trembled when the call connected again. “Are you still there?” “Yes, Behind you.”Palo's heart skipped a confusing beat.

His mind struggled to process what he was seeing, but the numbers didn't lie. This…this is the real deal! His throat bobbled as he swallowed again, his earlier arrogant crumbling under the weight of his mistake. He had insulted—no, humiliated—a man who could drop a fortune without blinking. A man who clearly wasn't just some street beggar playing games. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He forces his lips to move, but no words come, completely deserting him. His mouth was dry, his throat locked. He wanted to apologize. He wanted to backtrack and salvage what dignity he had left, but the way Sabito watched him like a predator toying with its prey was what made his legs go weak. Did you even see how cool he was? Unlike the others, he didn't gloat about how he was going to be able to buy the car which Palo found admirable. Just the amused flint in his eyes,

    The crisp, loud ring of his phone shattered Sabito's calm. He looked down and his heart caught to his throat! He has totally forgotten! Even though he now possessed a complicated kind of power he couldn't explain to people, he had sworn never to act above them when he one day became wealthy. They had given their life for him, clothed and sheltered him and suffered on his behalf, hence his vow. He dragged his eyes away from the road for a moment, glancing down at the name “Mother” displayed across his phone screen when it rang for the fourth time. He frowned, wondering why she was calling this incessantly. That was when Makio’s words from earlier rang in his head. Seven days. He had been unconscious for seven days and maybe his family was already worried sick. He instantly feels as guilt tied a rope around his heart. Even though he hadn't intended to make them worry, it still didn't change the fact that he had done it. Picking up his phone that lay on the center console, he pla

    “He can't afford it?” A mocking tone pierced the air. The voice was crisp and haughty. Everyone's head turned as if yanked by an invisible thread. Well, everyone except Sabito. The rude female attendant, who Sabito hadn't even thought of knowing her name—because he agreed she wasn't worth it—straightened instantly. Her entire demeanor changed, her spine locked and her lips curled upward in a delighted smile. The handful of other customers, who had paused mid-browse, now craned their necks, eyes wide and glinting. The man who had spoken is Kelvin Skye. He stood with his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his expensive designer coat, the dark fabric hugging his tail frame like it was sewn on him. His neatly cropped hair glistened beneath the boutique’s chandeliers. His jawline was sharp, the skin pale and pampered. He smirked with the confidence of someone who'd never been told no. But Sabito was going to teach him that a “no” is part of one's life journey. After all, every

    “Kim blinked, taken aback with his counter reply. “You want to… pay?” He found himself stuttering..Sabito didn't answer that. After all, he thought manager Kim has a low IQ compared to him. He only focused, his fingers tapped calm across his phone screen. Within seconds, the beep of confirmation rang from Kim's phone! “P-payment received?” one of the guards read aloud in a disbelieving voice. Their posture shifted, less tense. When Kelvin heard the words, his grin falted immediately. He reached for a bright red designer dress. “I'll take this,” he sneered, loud enough for everyone to hear. “I dare you to buy another.” Sabito's lips curled into a satisfied smirk! How foolish are some people? He was excited about the kind of game they were about to play right now. He wanted Kelvin to jump into his trap and he just had to jump right in. Sabito pointed at the jacket beside the mannequin. “I'll take that too.” Kelvin picked alteo more. Sabito bought an entire row. The room now gre

I only have a diamond chain and you can take it.” He pleaded with tears running down from his eyes.“Fuck you!” Sabito snatched the necklace from his neck.“In your next life, you won't dare touch this student in your eyes again.

I won't succumb easily.’ He decided to stay strong.“You can't simply raise your phone and expect that I believe anything that comes out of your mouth. So, stop the act and get out of here already.” He spoke rigidly.

The agent who had thought Sabito was a pauper looked at him with a shocking glare, ‘Could he really do that or is it just acting tough? Should I support him and leave Ethan aside but if I lose Ethan without waiting for this man to manifest then he later doesn't buy, then, I'm fucked up! I don't think there is nothing I could do.’ A lot of thoughts squirmed in the agent's mind. There was a mix of confusion on his face and he kept his gaze on the drama that was ongoing.Sabito's lips curved with a dark smile before he straightened his face. “Why don't you watch me do it?” He arched his eyebrows.‘It seems this boy has borrowed money to show off again.

    At night, Sabito was seated in the dining room with his family. They were eating green vegetables, mashed with eggs.Sabito, who was basking excitedly within himself, flashed back to what happened earlier today. The shock on Ethan and his three friends' faces was epic. Just as he ate comfortably, Sabito's parents cleared their throat.“Sabito, I am happy with your current financial development and I want to thank you for how you have been providing for this family. But, I have one request to ask from you.” Dimon said, gazing at Sabito who had stopped eating and had focused on him. Sabito sighed. “I have told you that the money I have is for us. Do not hesitate to request anything at all. What is the request?” Sabito asked him and he arched his eyebrows. He was ready to shoulder anything for his family.“Just like I said earlier that I appreciate your contribution to this family, what I want to ask might sound a little weird.

When she asked that question, the police officers were taken aback.“You called us a minute ago that a customer is into fraud and has come to purchase clothes in your mall.” The police officer re-sated exactly what she told them. “That is a lie. I didn't do any of such—” While she was trying her best to defend herself, Sabito spoke from where he stood.“Enough! You called them and I won't blame you for your impulsive action.” Sabito then faced the police officer, “I am the customer trying to purchase clothes for myself. What do you want with me?” Sabito spoke with a sense of high self respect. His voice was deep and slightly fierce even though it contained an element of calmness. “Sir, you are under arrest for fraud. And you have th

Sabito concentrated on what he was doing. But according to the system, Sabito must now pick the most expensive clothes in the boutique. He checked the price tag of the ones he was selecting, ‘this can't be the most expensive cloth in this boutique.’ He mumbled and then decided to speak with the customer attendant who wasn't far from where he was.“Hello, Miss.” Sabito called out. The customer service attendant was actually seated. By the time she heard Sabito call her, she lifted herself from the seat and walked up to meet him.“Sir!” She stood straight, her ears attentive.“I checked the price tag on these clothes and I must say that these can't be the most expensive clothes in this mall.
