"I'm not afraid as long as we're on the right side," Brian said firmly. "But I need all of your help. I'll take on the company, but I need the votes of those who oppose it."Several villagers exchanged glances. Some nodded slightly, but others still looked hesitant.A man sitting near the door suddenly let out a short laugh."Wow, you're acting like a hero already," he said sarcastically. "Yesterday, Mr. Syaiful's son was like that too. So confident. He said he'd fight back."The man leaned against the wall with his arms crossed."Look at the results now. He's battered."The room fell silent again.Brian stared at the man intently.For some reason, his face felt a little unfamiliar.Brian knew most of the villagers quite well. Even though he hadn't been home in a long time, he could at least remember the faces of the people he used to meet.But this man felt different."Who are you, sir?" Brian finally asked.The man immediately answered in a relaxed tone.“I’m Juna.”Brian nodded slo

"Have many people become victims and sold their land and rice fields?" Brian asked his father with a serious expression.Mr. Tono took a deep breath before answering."Quite a lot, because they had no choice. And they were tempted by the price offered," he said quietly. "But there are still many who hold on. Because if they were sold, what would we do?"Brian looked at his father."Relying on the company's mercy?" Mr. Tono continued. "They're not necessarily going to give us jobs. And working for a company with a limited lifespan is also a concern. In the end, we're the ones who suffer."Brian fell silent.His mind began to work. He tried to connect this incident with the message from the system on his phone.The system had asked him to return to his hometown.Was it to resolve this issue?"Is Dad's property affected too?" Brian asked.Mr. Tono nodded slowly."Yes, of course. That's why we were at home. They've fenced our rice fields."Brian immediately lifted his head."Fenced?""Yes

"This is what I was afraid of," Mrs. Nikmah said in a trembling voice. "Now you're coming home by car. What do you do for a living, Brian? You haven't even graduated from college yet."Tears began to stream down her cheeks. Her hands clutched her tight chest. Brian immediately panicked when he saw his mother crying like that. He quickly put his hand on her shoulder gently."Mom, let's talk inside, okay?" Brian said soothingly. "But I'll unload the things in the car first.""What things?" Mrs. Nikmah replied quickly. "Don't give them to us if they're illegal."Brian fell silent. His eyes stared sadly at his mother's face. He never expected his return to be greeted with such suspicion."Mom," he said quietly. "I didn't bring any illegal items. I bought them with the money I earned."Meanwhile, some neighbors began peeking through their fences or windows. The car parked in front of Tono's house certainly attracted attention.Some people even stood in the street, pretending to pass by. Wh

Early that morning, Brian was already on his way to his village. The sun hadn't even fully risen when he drove out of town.The morning breeze was still cool, and the roads weren't particularly busy. But Brian felt a hard-to-define feeling—a mix of longing, anxiety, and a little nervousness.Before leaving, he'd felt incredibly nervous when he asked Emily for permission."Are you going home?" Emily had asked with a relaxed expression.She was sitting at the dining table in her apartment, enjoying toast. Her movements were calm, as if nothing important was being discussed.Brian was confused by her reaction. Shouldn't he be angry? He'd only been working as her driver for a few days, and now he was asking permission to return to his hometown. Even he wasn't sure how long he'd be there."Yes," Brian replied quietly. "If there's no problem, I'll go straight home. But if there is, it might take longer. I'll wait until everything is resolved."Emily simply nodded casually. "Okay. No problem

"So?" Brian asked, glancing at Emily.Brian was still holding the car keys with an inexplicable feeling. He still couldn't quite believe that the luxury car was now his.Brian was still confused by the gift of this car. Somehow, the system seemed to know exactly what he needed. Could it be that the system knew he'd been in an accident yesterday? And that's why it gave him the car?His mind was filled with all sorts of absurd possibilities."Well, maybe someone gave you a gift," Emily said casually, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.Brian stared at her for a moment. Emily's way of speaking always sounded calm, as if everything that happened was normal.Soon, all the paperwork for the car was complete. The salesperson who served them handed over the keys and vehicle documents, her face still looking very happy."Congratulations, Mr. Brian. The car is officially in your name," she said politely.Brian nodded slowly. It still felt like a dream. Finally, Brian was able to drive th

"Why are you here?" Brian asked, recognizing the man's face."I'm a senior salesperson," he replied proudly.Brian nodded slowly. "Then show me the car I want. The most expensive one."The man, named Fredi, immediately laughed sarcastically. He had known Brian for a long time. He knew all too well what Brian's life was like in the village—lack of everything and having to work hard just to survive. Even to buy a used motorcycle, Brian had to save for a long time.Now, suddenly, you're coming to a car showroom and asking for the most expensive one?"Hahaha... you're so funny," Fredi mocked. "Why look at expensive cars if you can't afford them? Even touching one doesn't feel right for you."Brian clenched his fists, but he tried to restrain himself. He didn't want to cause a scene."Just show me. Payment is our business," Emily replied calmly.Fredi turned to Emily. That's when he fell silent for a moment. Although the woman was dressed simply, there was something about her manner of spe
