"As a tycoon, you can't stay idle." The mechanical voice rang in Jasper's mind.
"The host is to raise the level of Sky Hotel from a five-star. Bc Hotel to a seventh-star Hotel in a Month." The voice continued.
"Also, the host is to make Skyline Technologies worth five hundred million Dollars in two months"
"Failure to do so results in death." The voice added.
Jasper's eyes widened in shock after hearing this. What the heck was this thing saying? How was he going to do it?
Raise a five-star hotel to a seven-star hotel in just a month. What the heck was this system thinking?
He needed to know if it was just playing with him. But after seeing the penalty and the countdown in days and hours, sweat covered Jasper's forehead, and he knew that he was going to die if he didn't do what the system had said.
How was he going to do it? He needed some kind of plan. He was going to have to rack his brain.
But that was not important. First he had to go check out the hotel and then the company he was given.
Once he had seen the state that the two were in, he was going to know the next line of action.
Thinking about this, Jasper groaned and got up swiftly. Looking around, he saw his old bike and immediately walked towards it.
Opening the seat of the bike, he took out an old but clean shirt. He had always had the habit of keeping spare clothes, so today it came in handy.
He was never going to step into the house again and leave it for Amelia and her boyfriend; they could do whatever they wanted to do with it, but he didn't care.
Getting onto his scooter, he started it and drove toward the hotel. Soon, he was at the hotel.
Looking at the magnificent buildings, which were one of the best in the city, Jasper sighed, not knowing what to do.
How was he going to turn this hotel into a seven-star hotel in just a month?
He felt it would have been more feasible if he had given him about two years. Yet the system had decided that he was to do it in a month.
How the heck was it even possible? He was going to have to rack his brain for this and could only hope that he was going to be able to do it.
He didn't want to die, so he was going to have no other choice but to rack his brain.
Pushing the thoughts to the back of his mind, Jasper walked into the hotel. Walking straight to the receptionist's table, he looked at the woman with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, sir; how can I help you?" The woman asked while forcing a smile.
Though she felt a kind of disgust for Jasper, she didn't show it. After all, this was a five-star hotel. They had been trained to respect all customers no matter what.
"I'm looking for Michael. Could you give him a call and inform him that Jasper Brennan is looking for him." Jasper asked with a smile on his face.
The receptionist's face twitched slightly hearing what Jasper said, but she didn't say anything.
If it was a normal case, she would have already called the guards and had them throw Jasper out of the hotel.
But just a few minutes ago, the manager had come looking for her, stating that someone was going to come looking for him and that she should give him a call no matter who it was.
"Sir, he said he'd be here soon." The receptionist flashed Jasper a smile as she dropped the phone after contacting the manager.
"Thank you very much." Jasper smiled and was about to turn around to look for a place to wait when an arrogant voice sounded.
"Do you think I'll be impressed with your lies?" someone asked.
"Amelia." Jasper furrowed his brows as he turned around to look at the other party.
Not surprisingly, it was Amelia and her new boyfriend. She was holding his arms and was snuggling into his arms even though they were in public.
Behind them were the two bodyguards who had beaten him up.
At that moment, Jasper felt nothing but disgust towards Amelia. So he couldn't care less and turned around to leave.
"How dare you try to walk out on me. Didn't you hear I was talking to you?" Amelia became infuriated, seeing that Jasper was about to walk out on her.
Jasper looked around, confusion written on his face, and after a while. He turned around wanting to leave.
"How dare you!" Amelia burst out into a rage, seeing that Jasper didn't even care about her.
"I said you should stop!" She roared.
But Jasper pretended as if he couldn't hear anything and just looked around.
"Jasper, are you deaf, or didn't you hear that I'm talking to you!" Amelia lost it all and roared in rage, her veins bulging out of her forehead as she glared at Jasper.
"Oh, I didn't know you were talking to me." Jasper let out a chortle before turning to look at Amelia.
"You...." Amelia was so annoyed, but there was nothing she was able to do to the latter.
"Sorry, but I'm quite busy and I don't have your time. You and your boyfriend should go ahead and do whatever you want. I don't want to know about it." Jasper waved his hands dismissively.
He was too disgusted to talk to the two and felt that it would be an absolute waste of time.
It was better for him to spend time thinking about how he was going to complete the System's mission.
That way, he would know that he spent his time doing something tangible rather than arguing mindlessly with two brats.
"How dare you try to leave, didn't you hear that my girlfriend is talking to you!" A hoarse voice sounded, and the next moment, Jasper was surrounded by the two bulky men behind Amelia and her boyfriend.

Destroy them!
Sophia sighed “So, it’s true. Detective Diamond is dead. That’s shocking.”Jasmine replied “Yes, Sophia. He is gone. A lot has happened in the past few weeks.”Bai Zhe made an observation, “A lot. The Gray Firm also disappeared without a trace. Until now, no word.”“Which of the firms?” Zoey asked, astonished. She was hardly aware of anything. All Jasper told her was that he was going to Oakridge, he didn't tell her why he needed to leave so quickly or that Sophia was even in danger.“The Gray Auditing Firm that you know. They took out their business logo and everything. If you go to their former office, you will see that there is not any evidence that it was once a firm,” Bia Zhe explained.“Hmmm. That’s bad,” Sophia added, “They helped me and Detective Diamond as well.”They sat in silence for an interval. Then all of a sudden, Bai Zhe turned to Sophia “Can I tell you something real quick?”“Of course, what is it?”“Your family was involved in your kidnap”Jasper almost facepalmed
Too much information
For a second, Jasper remained dumbfounded. The news he had just heard tied his tongue.They were worse things than he had seen and heard from Jackson? Human trafficking in Silverlake?How could human beings be extremely wicked to another fellow human?“The Valmont have been trafficking people in Silverlake?” Zoey asked in shock, Goosebumps all over her skin.“Not just Silverlake, Zoey.” Sophia replied, “They are one of the largest traffickers worldwide, in and out of Europe, and all other continents too.”Jasper stood to his feet after hearing those words Sophia just said.“What a way to make money” Jasper mumbled sadly.He had met Elder Valmont once—at the banquet where he introduced himself to Elsie. The man didn’t look like someone who could kill a fly. Although, he didn’t pay much attention to him since he didn’t come to the party for him. “How dirty.”As strange and disturbing as it sounds, it is exactly what was going on. Human trafficking was now a full time business. But he
Behind the scene
Jasper’s eyes brightened the moment he spotted Sophia hale and hearty, her attention fixed on the food which Jasmine had prepared for her.Beside her on the dining table was Zoey whom he had called earlier to come look after her, and Jasmine.Jasper stood by the doorway, a finger placed on his lips to keep Bai Zhe and Rowan quiet. He watched his sister take a big chunk of the meat and placed it on Sophia’s plate. Sophia was about to complain when she raised her head and saw Jasper standing by the door.Sophia froze at first.Everyone turned towards the door to see that Jasper was already home.Sophia’s eyes slowly became red and teary. Before she knew it, she jolted off from her chair, her arms wide open as she ran towards Jasper who received the hug with a wide smile.He sighed in relief. He thought he had lost her. She was alright.Even Sophia didn’t believe she would live there alive. With her head still resting on his chest, she murmured the words that had bothered her since she
Meeting Adjourned
Just as Elder Vittorio dropped the question to Jasper, Jasper smirked. Panic never found its way to his heart.He had an answer for him. For all of them.He always did.With an annoyingly calm expression, he turned to Vittorio to answer the question for the furious elders staring at him like they wanted him dead the next minute.“I believe…” Jasper spoke up, but he ended up stammering because of the beep from his phone in his pocket. He pulled out his phone and stared at the screen.Jasmine was the caller.There definitely had to be an update on Sophia's health. He'd done a lot to keep her safe; he couldn't gamble with her health over an answer no one could fight him about if he didn't give it.He turned his back to the elders as he walked towards the door, taking the call.“Jasmine?”“Active. Sophia is awake now.” Jasmine summarized the essence of her call. “She wants to talk to you. Be here in a few minutes?”“You bet.” He hung up the call and slipped his phone back into his pocket
The struggle
Jasper stood in the middle of the council room. He stayed calm and silent. Rowan and Bai Zhe stood calmly behind him, waiting to intervene if necessary. The elders were all staring at him. Their eyes were sharp and angry. The room felt heavy, tense.Marino spoke first. His voice was booming and rough. "I don't see why we even let this boy in! He went against our ally, the Valmont family. And now he is friends with the Palmers, our enemy! How can we trust him?”Sophia slammed her hands on the table. “He has betrayed us all. He should leave. Go back to where he came from! He does not belong here!”Lois banged her fingers even harder on the table as well, “Exactly! A boy thinks he can play sides like a game. He is reckless and dangerous. He doesn’t even understand what he has done.”Jasper stayed silent. He did not argue or move. He let them speak. He knew that sometimes silence was more powerful than words. Let them get their anger out.Marino’s face turned red. “My son will take ove
Just a boy.
Elder Valmont kept muttering as he took a seat in one of the chairs, “I can’t believe it. It can’t be." Then he got up, “No." " I don’t believe it.”He moved breathlessly in the room with no particular direction. After a while, he moved slowly and leaned on a chair. With a finger tucked under his chin, he said thoughtfully “Brennan doesn’t even have that much power.” “And that Brennan's heir is just a boy.”Elise raised a brow. He was the same man who had agreed to the marriage alliance and now, Jasper's just a boy?!Elise hissed, " Boy?! Father please…” She knew how her father belittles people because of his arrogance, believing he is on top of everyone else. She sighed, "Do you remember the woman we ordered to be kidnapped because she was digging on us and found something?” “What about her? What does that have to do with anything?”“She has everything to do with everything, Father." Elise replied, “She's related to Jasper." The room turned silent Elder Valmont’s gaze har
