2025-04-03 21:29:13Huh? Everyone was shocked at his request.
The manager froze as she looked at Jasper in shock. What the hell was this person saying? He'd better not be playing with her, right?
The sales assistant attending to Jasper also looked at him, feeling shocked; what the hell was happening?
"You've not even got the money to get one of the Villas, yet you want to get all seven, isn't your ambition a little bit too high into the sky?" The sales agent mocking Jasper earlier, sneered, not minding the fact that the manager was there.
"We'll know if my ambition is high in the sky soon or not." Jasper shrugged, turning to the other sales assistant,
"Take this and pay. The password is four zeros," Jasper said as he took out his card.
The sales assistant looked dumbfounded at Jasper and didn't know what to say, "Sir, if you want to buy the seven..."
"Don't worry, I don't care how much it costs, just hurry up and swipe the card." Jasper waved his hand, interrupting the girl.
"You still want to continue with your games?" The other sales representative sneered as she looked at Jasper.
In her eyes, Jasper was just trying to put up a show, and she was sure that he was going to be exposed very soon, so she had a rather arrogant expression on her face.
"Ding!" Soon, the sound of the machine shocked everyone.
"Haha, now that your card has declined, what the hell are you going to do? Make up an excuse or what?" The sales assistant was complacent and didn't even turn to look at the machine to check if it was a green or red light that had flashed.
Rather, she considered that there was no way Jasper, a pauper, would have so much money in his account.
"Next time, when you want to...."
"Paik!!!"
A loud sound resounded throughout the place, and immediately, the sales agent felt a burning sensation in her cheeks.
Angrily, she looked up to see who had slapped her, wanting to rebut the person and also take her revenge, but the angry roar that came next made her transfixed to a spot, unable to move.
"You're fired!"
The manager who had slapped the sales agent roared in anger as she pointed at the girl,
"Now, get out!" She continued.
Jasper shook his head seeing this scene. His impression of the manager had worsened a lot. Just a second ago, when the sales staff was insulting him, she didn't say anything to rebut her and just watched as she spoke nonsense.
But when the transaction had gone through, her attitude had immediately undergone a 360° change, and she even went ahead to slap and fire the latter.
"Sir, I apologize for her impudence, I'll personally attend to your needs and see that you're very satisfied." The lady smiled as she approached Jasper.
If she had known that he was this rich, she wouldn't have let that lady insult him. Well, it had happened, and she could only hope that Jasper was going to give her a chance.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think there's a need for that. I'm quite happy with her services," Jasper shook his head as he indicated to the sales assistant to bring the documents from the house.
The lady bit her lower lips, hearing Jasper's reply, she wasn't a fool, and she could even see the contempt in Jasper's eyes.
Soon, Jasper signed all the papers, grabbed them all, collected the keys, and then headed to the Villa. There was no need to stay any longer.
The manager sighed as she looked at Jasper leaving with a hint of regret in her eyes. She had learned her lesson this time and it wasn't going to be perfunctory.
"Ding!"
A mechanical voice rang in Jasper's head immediately after he stepped out of the place.
"Hidden mission completed." The mechanical voice continued.
"As a tycoon, one must never host, must never allow himself to be looked down on by others. If this is to be looked down on, then the host should embarrass them."
Jasper had a smile seeing this. This was the second hidden mission. It seemed like the System had a lot of hidden missions for him.
He was also looking forward to seeing what the reward was going to be. After all, the System was generous, and it had given him a lot of good stuff.
He wondered what he was going to get this time around and could only hope it was going to be good stuff, just like he had anticipated.
"Host has received a Pagani Huayra BC. The car is now in the garage of the hotel." The mechanical voice sounded before Jasper could think too much.
Hearing this, Jasper was very excited and immediately changed his plans.
At first, he was going to look for a way to get a construction company that was willing to help him with the renovation of the company. But now he was going to head to the hotel.
He was going to see the car the System had given him. It was a sports car, and he had one of its toy collections.
He was a car fanatic, and even though he didn't have any car of his own, he owned a bunch of different types of toy car models and knew most cars.
He was excited that he was going to finally drive a real one. It was one of his dreams, now it was finally going to come true. He couldn't wait.
He wanted to drive it. Though he didn't have a car, he knew how to drive and this was because he had attended many races.
He was a car fanatic. He wouldn't be considered a real fanatic if he had never driven one before, so he was just very excited.
Thinking about this, Jasper climbed his old scooter and then headed straight towards the hotel, his heart pounding with excitement.

The system
The System completed its sweep quietly, feeding Jasper the results in fragments he could digest without noise. The hidden buyer was no ordinary operative. Not purely corporate, not purely political, but a careful mix of both. Jasper traced the patterns, the financial networks, the soft influence, the public-facing philanthropy.The man was a senior board member of a multinational tech conglomerate. His name rarely appeared in scandal. His face was clean in every photo, every press release. Privately, he held advisory roles, quietly lobbied politicians, and maintained access no law could strip away. Yet behind that public image, he financed destabilization, acquisitions, and manipulations. The mob boss had been muscle, disposable, nothing more.Jasper sat back against the cold wall of the cell, hands resting on his thighs. He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to. The System displayed the maps, the connections, the shadow accounts, all flowing into the same hidden network.A quiet alert foll
Rumors
The failure of the prison raid rippled through the criminal underground faster than the mob boss could anticipate. Rumors traveled along encrypted channels, whispered by low-level operatives and repeated in hushed tones at safe houses. In those corridors, uncertainty bred panic. The strike squad’s disappearance was no accident. Someone stronger than expected was moving in the shadows—and worse, someone was watching.Jasper remained seated on the edge of his bunk, hands clasped loosely, eyes fixed on the gray wall across from him. The System continued its work in silence, parsing the fragmented communications flowing through proxy networks, filtering what was relevant and discarding the rest.A soft alert chimed.Intercepted Transmission Detected.Jasper didn’t flinch. He had learned early how to separate signal from noise. The fragments coalesced slowly into a pattern.The mob boss appeared to be issuing the orders, commanding from a reinforced safe house in an undisclosed location. P
In progress
The detention facility returned to its routine rhythm by morning.Guards changed shifts. Doors opened and closed on schedule. Paperwork moved from one desk to another. To anyone watching, nothing had happened the night before.Jasper played his part.He woke when the lights came on. He sat on his bunk. He ate when the tray slid through the slot. When a guard passed, he acknowledged them with a nod and nothing more.Just another detained tycoon.That was how they saw him.“That one keeping quiet?” a guard asked during rounds.“Yeah,” another replied. “No complaints. No calls. Barely talks.”“Good. Let him stay that way.”Jasper kept his gaze down as they moved on.Inside, the System activated.New Mission Issued.The words appeared cleanly, without urgency, but Jasper felt the shift immediately.Objective: Identify the force behind the failed assassination attempt.He remained still.Restrictions: Direct movement prohibited. Exposure level must remain zero.That made sense.Method: Ind
No noise
The holding facility sat quiet in the early hours of the night, the kind of quiet that felt manufactured. Lights hummed overhead, steady and white, washing the concrete corridors in sterile calm. Guards moved along their routes with routine precision, boots echoing softly, radios clipped and silent.Jasper remained unaware of any of it.His cell was narrow but clean. Concrete walls, steel bars, a single bunk bolted to the floor. He sat on the edge of it, elbows resting on his knees, head slightly lowered. The faint hum of electricity seeped through the walls. Somewhere far above, ventilation fans turned without urgency.He hadn’t slept.Custody had a way of stretching time. Minutes dragged. Hours folded into one another until the concept of night and morning blurred. Jasper’s wrists still bore faint red marks where the cuffs had been. They had been removed hours ago, but the sensation lingered.He exhaled slowly, steadying his breathing.They hadn’t questioned him yet.That bothered h
So that's how it works
Zoey sat on the edge of her bed, hands clasped so tightly her fingers hurt.Her room was quiet. Too quiet.The door was shut. The curtains were half drawn. The city lights outside barely pushed through the fabric, leaving the room dim and still.She stared at the floor.Then she closed her eyes.“Please,” she whispered.Her voice cracked.“Just bring him back.”She pressed her hands together harder, knuckles whitening.She wasn’t sure who she was praying to anymore. God. Fate. Anyone listening.“They’re wrong,” she said quietly. “They don’t know him.”Her throat tightened.“He wouldn’t hurt anyone. He never did.”The lawyer’s words replayed in her head.Career suicide.She swallowed.“They turned their backs on you,” she murmured. “But I won’t.”She leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees, head bowed.“Just… just let him come home.”She stayed like that for a long time....The laboratory shook.Jasper turned sharply as the air behind him distorted.His instincts screamed befo
Andriod
Jasper stayed still for a long time after the System prompt appeared.The cell was silent except for the low hum of the security field. White walls. No windows. No sound from outside. Just him and the words floating in his vision.Mission available.Accept or decline.He exhaled slowly.“So this is how it works now,” he said quietly.The System did not respond.He thought about the trial. The charges. The way the guards looked at him, like he was already guilty. He thought about his sister’s voice on the phone. The way it had cracked when she said his name.He clenched his jaw.“If I decline,” he said, “what happens?”The System answered immediately.Threat escalation likely. Civilian casualties projected.Jasper nodded once.Figures.He straightened on the narrow bed.“I accept,” he said.There was no countdown. No warning.The air in front of him split open.Light folded inward, like space tearing itself apart. The floor vanished beneath his feet before he could react.Then he was g
