"Alright. Tell me what medical equipment you need? I'll ask Dorris to accompany you," Sophia ordered gently. She had already predicted that Maverick might need some money to buy additional equipment to heal her legs. Ma

Failed to be humiliated
"Here are the food and drink, sir," The waitress returned with a tray filled with fish and chips and a glass of fresh orange juice. Maverick nodded and smiled heartily. Then, he replied warmly, "Thank you, Ms." "You're welcome. Hopefully, it is enjoyable and meets your expectations." The waitress beamed in a friendly way before she left. In another second, Maverick enjoyed the warm fish and chips served on a hot plate. Its steam spread the tempting savory aroma that rose his appetite. Besides the deep-fried fish and French fries on the plate, there were assorted veggies on its side, balancing with the oily dishes. Whenever he had savoured every bite of it and drunk the juice, Maverick stood from his seat. He then walked to the cashier's counter where the manager supervised the eatery. At that point, Robert grinned and asked, "How would you like to pay for the bill, sir? By cash or credit card?"
Checking the status
An hour onwards, Maverick had finished bathing. His upper body was slightly wet, soaked by the water, as was his hair. After he got out of the room, he put on a bathrobe. The freshness of soap and herbal shampoo, which he used, lingered on his skin and hair. At that point, he realized that he had not gotten new clothes for change. Therefore, he planned to spend some amount of money, based on the given mission. However, he had to check his current status in the system panel. "Can I see my updated status now, system?" Maverick asked in his mind. [Sure, Master. Here it is!] [WELCOME TO THE EXTRAVAGANT POWER SYSTEM. HERE IS YOUR CURRENT STATUS!] [Master's name: Maverick Parker] [Body: 15 points (weak)] [Mind and soul: 20 points (weak)] [Extra points: 35 points] [Skills: Sensible Analytical Skill, Outstanding Medical Skill]
The VIP room
As he had obtained the keys and the specific Wi-Fi code, Maverick was accompanied by a bellboy assigned by Amelia, the receptionist at the counter. "Which floor are you up to, sir?" the bell boy politely asked as he stood next to Maverick inside the elevator. "Thirtieth floor, please," Maverick mentioned. His expression was ,calm although he felt proud to have had a rare chance to stay on the top floor, known as the VIP rooms with complete facilities and exclusive services. The bellboy pressed the floor number willingly. His orbs gleamed in admiration. The only reason for it was that the young man was lucky to have an expensive VIP room. Plus, he noticed that Maverick was much younger than him. "It must be nice to have enough money for a VIP room, isn't it?" The bell boy sneakily broke the silence. Maverick glanced at him casually. "Yeah, nicer than being disrespected by your own family," Maverick responded in a salty tone. Honestly, there was still bitterness in his orbs.
Enduring the mockery
Heading to the Treasure Palace hotel, Maverick sat in the back passenger seat alone. The cold breeze of the taxi's air conditioner bruised his skin tenderly. At that moment, the driver stared at him, through the rearview mirror. His dark orbs were laced with wonder at why the young man resolved to go to a hotel alone. The driver gently cleared his throat and opened the conversation, "Are you fleeing from your house, Sir?" Maverick turned his head, staring at the driver from the back. He beamed a little, yet he didn't wanna reveal the truth. "Yeah, you can say like that. Besides that, I also look for a new permanent place to stay," He added. The driver smiled for a few seconds. He could make several assumptions about why the young man escaped from the house. Yet, he didn't throw judgment since he felt it was rude to do such a thing to a stranger. Consequently, he reacted, "Kind of independent young man. Are you pla
Being outcast
Another evening came. It was the same time for Maverick to fight with house chores and exhaustion. However, in the middle of ironing the clothes, he accidentally let the iron step on Marshall's favorite shirt. As he realized the big hole in its fabric, he was at a loss for words for a second. Following his panic, Maverick felt his heart was pounding, as if it would explode from his chest. The scene when his uncle was mad at him appeared in his brain. He knew how Marshall would react when somebody had ruined his favorite thing. "I'm in trouble now." He muttered in his breath. At that point, he began to think of how to buy the same new shirt since he was no longer short of money. However, before he folded the shirt, Marshall appeared, and his eyes flashed with fury. He knew how the hole in his shirt existed. "What the hell have you done! It's my favorite shirt, dude!" He complained. His hands took the shirt and checked the hole instinctively. His loud complaint soon attracted
Proving his words
Maverick nodded in agreement. Deep in his thought, he could have asked for more things in return. Yet, it would tarnish his public image, as he was just a student. He was not someone with a wealthy circumstance, as rich as Sophia Hampton. "Alright. Tell me what medical equipment you need? I'll ask Dorris to accompany you," Sophia ordered gently. She had already predicted that Maverick might need some money to buy additional equipment to heal her legs. Maverick glanced at the old woman hesitantly. He then stared at her legs carefully, attempting to find out if they required complex medical equipment for healing. After less than five minutes, he responded, "Yes, I have to go to the drug store, but this kind of case may work with a certain method instead of equipment." "Certain method??" Sophia furrowed her brows. She demanded further explanation on the mentioned term. Yet, it did not trigger Maverick's initiative
