The notification sound struck Fang Zhe’s heart like lightning. He froze. Then slowly lowered his head to look at the system panel. — Host Status: Fang Zhe Occupation: Personal Bodyguard System Points: 0 Charisma: Level 1 — Young Master Handsome Aura of Shange City — “What?” His face stiffened instantly. “WHAT?!” He immediately jumped up from the bed. “System! Did you steal my points?!” DIIIIIING! ‘The host voluntarily upgraded Charisma.’ “Voluntarily my ass!” he snapped. “I JUST TOUCHED IT!” DIIIIIING! ‘Touch confirmation has been considered as consent.’ The veins on his temple throbbed. “One hundred and fifty points… That was the result of my hard work this afternoon!” ‘Investment in appearance has long-term benefits.’ “Long-term benefits? I’m a bodyguard, not a contestant in some handsome face competition!” The panel remained blue. Cold. Without guilt. Fang Zhe paced back and forth in the small room. “Level 1 Charisma… Young master handsome aura… What is this even for?! To charm mosquitoes in the garden?!” DIIIIIING! ‘Side effects: increases attractiveness, authority, and positive social responses.’ “Positive social responses?! I need points, not applause!” He pulled at his own hair. “This system is truly a top-tier scam…” DIIIIIING! ‘The system appreciates expressive hosts.’ “Shut up! Don’t respond again!” The room fell silent again. Fang Zhe finally chose to sit on the edge of the bed. His chest rose and fell. All his points were gone. No increase in reflexes. No increase in endurance. Observation technique not purchased. Medical still costs five hundred points. The only thing that improved… was his face. He looked at the small mirror on the wall. Then paused. A few seconds passed. “Huh?” His eyebrows slowly raised. His jaw looked sharper. His gaze more intense. His skin clearer. Even the line of his shoulders appeared more proportional. A faint aura somehow made him feel… different. “Is this… me?” He stepped closer. “This doesn’t make sense…” But the next second, his expression hardened again. “No matter how handsome I am, my points are still zero!” He threw himself back onto the bed. “I have to work tomorrow… and I don’t even have any upgrades.” He closed his eyes. A few seconds later, his voice sounded low. “System…” No response. “If you try to scam me again, I’ll destroy all your missions.” Only silence answered him. Fang Zhe let out a long breath. Today had been far too long. Shange City. Erina. The Medicine Pavilion. A mysterious system. Lost points. Strange charisma. Even offending the young master under Lord Ryan. His life had truly changed. Within minutes, his breathing became steady. And for the first time since returning to this city… He finally fell asleep. — Morning. Sunlight pierced through the curtains. Fang Zhe slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he stared at the ceiling. Then remembered everything. “Not a dream.” He got up and walked to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he put on the work clothes neatly prepared in the wardrobe. A well-fitted black suit. A clean white shirt. A thin blazer tailored for elite bodyguards. Polished black leather shoes. As he buttoned his suit… He looked at the mirror again. And froze. That aura was now more obvious. His posture was straight. His gaze deep. His jaw sharp. Even his expression unconsciously exuded calm authority. No longer the poor young man sitting at a bus stop yesterday. But a young man with the aura of a noble young master. “This is the effect of Charisma…” he muttered. He took a breath. “Well… at least it’s not completely useless.” Tok. Tok. A knock sounded on the door. “Guard Fang, Miss requests your presence in the dining room.” “Understood.” Fang Zhe opened the door and walked down the hallway. His steps were steady. His shoulders firm. His gaze straight ahead. Several servants he passed unconsciously paused. They exchanged glances. “Why… does Guard Fang’s aura feel different today?” “He looks like… a young master from a great family.” Fang Zhe didn’t notice their stares. He entered the dining room. And there, Erina was already seated at the main chair. She wore a soft cream-colored formal outfit, her long hair neatly flowing. In front of her was a simple yet elegant breakfast. When the door opened, Erina lifted her head. Her gaze froze instantly. For a split second, her eyes truly stopped. Fang Zhe stood upright at the doorway. Morning light from the large window cast his silhouette. His jawline sharp. His gaze calm yet deep. The subtle authority that was barely there yesterday now felt real. Not just handsome. But refined. Erina even forgot to lower her teacup. Her heartbeat unconsciously skipped. “Fang Zhe?” Her voice was slightly softer than usual. Fang Zhe walked forward and stopped one step behind her chair. “Good morning, Miss.” His tone was steady. Low. Controlled. Erina blinked once. Something was different. Not just his face. But his charisma—his presence—was truly different from when they first met. A quiet yet powerful confidence. She straightened her back again, trying to regain her professional expression. “You… look different today.” Fang Zhe slightly raised his eyebrow. “Different?” Erina paused for two seconds before replying. “That suit suits you better.” Fang Zhe let out a long breath internally. “Thank you, Miss.” But before the atmosphere turned awkward— DIIIIIING! A notification sound suddenly echoed inside his head. Fang Zhe’s heart nearly jumped out. A blue transparent panel appeared at the corner of his vision. — NEW MISSION DETECTED! Category: Medium Mission Target: Increase CEO Erina’s affection until initial emotional interest appears Time Limit: 30 days Failure: Host loses 200 points in the next mission Reward: +500 system points — Fang Zhe’s gaze froze again. His eyes remained straight ahead, but inside— “WHAT?!” He almost choked on his own breath. “Increase… what?!” His hands, which had been calm behind his back, nearly clenched. “System, have you gone insane?!” DIIIIIING! ‘Mission aligns with strategic relationship development.’ “Strategic relationship my ass!” He forced his expression to remain unchanged in front of Erina. Make the CEO like him? He was a bodyguard. Not some cheap romance drama actor! And moreover… the person in front of him was Erina. CEO of the Medicine Pavilion. Intelligent, cold, and clearly not someone easily charmed. “Five hundred points…” he recalled, making his heart pound. 500 points meant he could buy Basic Medical Proficiency. “But this is social suicide!” he screamed internally. Erina was still looking at him. “You seem… a little tense.” Fang Zhe snapped out of his thoughts. “I’m fine, Miss.”

The narrow alley fell silent once again.The dim streetlights illuminated the four unmoving bodies of the Zhao family men lying on the ground.Fang Zhe stood calmly.In front of him, Doctor Irma was still trying to steady her breathing.A few seconds later, she finally spoke softly.“Thank you…”Her voice was still slightly trembling, but her gaze remained sharp.She looked at Fang Zhe with curiosity.“If you hadn’t come… I might have already been taken by those Zhao men.”Fang Zhe simply shrugged lightly.“Just a coincidence.”Irma shook her head.“There’s no such thing as coincidence in a situation like this.”She glanced at the unconscious Zhao men, then looked back at Fang Zhe.“Besides… not everyone can take down four men like that in a few seconds.”Fang Zhe didn’t respond. He only asked briefly,“Is your house far?”Irma was slightly surprised by the question.“Not too far. Just a few blocks from here.”Fang Zhe nodded.“Alright.”He stepped past the bodies of the Zhao men.“I’

The figure of 500 points, still lingered vividly before Fang Zhe’s eyes. The system panel slowly faded… yet its final message continued echoing in his mind.Rescue Doctor Irma.Location: near the Medicine Pavilion.Fang Zhe stood silently in his room for a few seconds.Then, the corner of his lips slowly lifted.“Five hundred points…”That was no small amount.With that many points, he could directly purchase high-level medical knowledge from the system shop.And that meant…His abilities would surge dramatically.However, the moment he saw the name of the target he had to rescue…His eyes suddenly turned cold.Because a warning appeared within the system:‘Rescue Doctor Tirta from capture by the Zhao Family…’“Zhao…”He whispered the name slowly. The air in the room seemed to drop several degrees.'The Zhao Family.'That name was like a thorn lodged in his throat.Old memories filled with blood and betrayal surged into his mind. Fang Zhe’s gaze darkened.“What a coincidence…”He grab

A series of heavy impacts rang out almost simultaneously, as Fang Zhe’s hands moved like shadows.His palm struck the back of the first man’s neck with perfect precision.The man’s eyes rolled white instantly. His body went limp before collapsing to the ground.THUD!The second man didn’t even have time to react. He had just opened his mouth to shout—when Fang Zhe had already moved.One step forward. His hand shot out.PAK!Two fingers pressed directly against a nerve point on the man’s neck.The man’s eyes widened. His body trembled briefly.Then—BRUK!He collapsed unconscious beside his companion.The garden fell silent once more. Only the night wind rustled through the leaves.Fang Zhe stood between the two unconscious bodies.His expression remained flat, as if everything had already been decided from the start.He looked at them for a few seconds, then exhaled softly.“Too weak.”At that moment…A faint light appeared before his eyes as the transparent system panel activated aga

In a split second…Fang Zhe’s body vanished from where he stood. Not truly disappearing, but moving at a speed that surpassed human visual reaction.Both men’s eyes widened instantly.“What?!”But they didn’t even have time to turn their heads. A sharp gust of wind had already brushed past the first man’s face.WHOOSH!Fang Zhe had already appeared at his side. His movement was so light, almost soundless.The man only realized it when Fang Zhe’s shadow entered the corner of his vision.“Too fas—”PAK!A palm strike slammed into his wrist.The knife in his hand was instantly knocked away.CLANK!The metal blade spun in the air before falling onto the stone path.But Fang Zhe didn’t stop. His right elbow rose.PAAK!It struck directly beneath the man’s ribs.“UGH—!”The man’s breath was immediately knocked out of him. His body bent forward uncontrollably.But Fang Zhe had already moved again. His leg swept in a half-circle.BAM!The low kick slammed into the man’s knee.CRACK!His leg b

Fang Zhe continued to stare blankly at the transparent panel floating before his eyes.The “20%” text was still clearly displayed. He almost frowned.‘So… this system doesn’t just grant abilities… it also measures other people’s feelings?’The thought felt strange. Not long after, the panel slowly began to fade.Then it disappeared completely.“Fang Zhe?”Erina’s voice pulled him back to reality. He lifted his gaze.Now Erina was looking at him with a hint of confusion.“Why did you suddenly go silent?”Fang Zhe gave a faint smile.“Sorry.”He picked up his glass of water.“Just a little tired.”Erina tilted her head slightly, but she didn’t press further.“Then let’s call it a night.”She wiped her lips with a napkin.“We still have a morning meeting tomorrow.”Fang Zhe nodded.“Alright, Boss.”*A few minutes later.They went down from the rooftop restaurant and returned to the car.The city at night was still lively with vehicle lights and brightly lit skyscrapers.The black car mo

Young Master Brata stared at Fang Zhe for a few seconds. His gaze was filled with mixed emotions—anger, humiliation, and a fear he refused to admit.The corridor felt extremely silent. Even the strained breathing of his injured guards could be heard clearly.He also understood one thing very well.If the young man in front of him truly wanted to cause trouble… the situation here could become far worse.Brata clenched his jaw.His eyes briefly glanced at Erina, who stood calmly beside Fang Zhe. The woman showed no sign of panic. On the contrary… she appeared completely composed.As if everything was already under her control.That only made Brata more irritated.But his reason was still intact. He took a deep breath, then forced a faint smile that was clearly stiff.“Of course.”His voice sounded heavy.“A guest is still a guest.”He stepped half a step back from the doorway.“Please, go ahead.”Erina did not move immediately. She simply looked at Brata for a moment with an unreadable
