Ch 20: The Protagonist's Backer
Kiara's mind was screaming at her to refuse the hundred dollars from Ethan, to maintain some shred of dignity, but the thought of her wallet with fifteen dollars less and her bedridden mother at home didn't allow her to refuse it.With a nod, she accepted the money and fled the office.Although Kiara thought that the cold, cruel, and hateful President Ethan, who bullied her, might have some ulterior motives, she still felt a sense of gratitude towards him for the money and letting her leave with only a warning.Watching the girl leave with a huff, Ethan chuckled in his heart.[Ding! The heroine Kiara's shame and frustration levels have exploded, but she also felt a sense of gratitude towards the host.][Reward: 1000 System Points]When he saw the system points rewarded by simply playing with the heroine's emotions, Ethan nodded his head with satisfaction.As he had expected, making the heroine's life miserable or making her heart sway for him would both reward him with system points.
Ch 19: Teasing The Heroine
The dumbfounded expression on Kiara's face made Ethan shake his head inwardly.'Too innocent and naive.'No matter how much of a genius Kiara would become in the future, the current, inexperienced her stood no chance in a verbal battle against a seasoned veteran like him.Even so, Ethan refused to let her apparent fragility soften his resolve.This was the same woman who once helped the protagonists.That said, perhaps because Kiara had never personally wronged him and had merely managed the Divine Doctor Eddie Wilson's businesses—or because she had once helped Ethan escape from a dangerous situation out of the kindness of her heart, unlike that characterless bitch Veronica, who had betrayed him—Ethan felt only a trace of resentment towards Kiara, not genuine hatred.After all, she was a kind-hearted girl with pure intentions and hands untainted by blood or malice. Sadly, despite that, her ending had been anything but kind.Born into poverty, Kiara possessed an extraordinary talent fo
Ch 18: Caught Red Handed
Ethan stood up, slowly opened the office door, and walked silently toward the direction of the faint sound.Following the sound, he reached the snacks area under the dim lights, where he saw a petite figure fumbling with the snack cabinet beside the coffee machine.The girl's movements were quick and nervous, and her hands trembled slightly as she snatched two packets of freshly baked bread cakes.She clutched them to her chest like precious treasures, and her eyes darted around as if expecting someone to jump out from some corner at any moment.Even in the poor lighting, Ethan could make out her delicate features and slender frame, which the oversized blue office suit failed to conceal completely beneath her crisp white shirt.The contrast between her small stature and the too-large blazer created an almost comical silhouette.A smile appeared on Ethan's face as he watched this unexpected scene unfold, and he silently moved behind her.Unaware of the danger lurking behind her, the gi
Ch 17: Schadenfreude
Watching Isabella's adorable antics, Ethan couldn't help but mumble."Cute."The sudden compliment made heat rush to Isabella's cheeks, but given how their relationship had become closer after yesterday, her shyness was close to disappearing now.And it was as if her true, naughty nature was finally emerging; she couldn't help but become bold and tease him back."Hehe, aren't I just? I'm so glad you recognize how cute I am," she said, pushing her chest forward even more."You should be. Though if you keep puffing up your chest like this, I'll start expecting a reward for noticing your cuteness."The double-meaning response made her choke, and she quickly changed the topic."Cough! Cough! President, I have received a reply from your grandfather, Mr. David Valerius. He and your two aunts said they want to come here to see you. When do you have time? Also, your aunts were very unhappy when they learned about that bitch Veronica. They want to destroy Harrington Group and force that gold d
Ch 16: You Are Fired
Ethan sat on the edge of the bed and called in his heart. 'System, Activate Protagonist Surveillance. Target Damien Dust.'[Ding! 500 System Points Deducted][Target Locked: Damien Dust!]"Locate him, and show me what he's doing for one minute."[Ding! 10 System Points Deducted]Immediately, like dreaming, Ethan's consciousness traveled through a tunnel of kaleidoscopic colors.When his vision cleared, Ethan found himself hovering in the air, overlooking the entire city, and then he swooshed and dived down to a bustling street, appearing near Damien, who was checking out one stall after another filled with antiques."With this money I got from underground boxing yesterday, I must find some good antiques and then go to the casino tomorrow to get some money to show Veronica. This will be enough to fool her and stall for some time until Ethan comes to ask for forgiveness."Damien muttered to himself, and Ethan heard it all while also watching the guy buy some antiques. But one minute was
Ch 15: Checking Rewards
As soon as Ethan saw the rewards, he cheered in his heart.'Woohoo! Awesome! System, accept the reward quickly.'Right away, a surge of information flooded Ethan's mind, etching itself there.Countless programming languages, sophisticated hacking techniques, complex software architectures, and computer systems filled his mind, followed by piano mastery, performance techniques, musical theory, and decades of experience.It was such a large amount of information that even Ethan felt a bit dizzy and needed a moment to digest it all.For a moment, he felt as if he were the world's most formidable hacker who simultaneously possessed the fingers of a professional concert pianist who had devoted a lifetime to his craft.Once these skills were accepted, he took out the item rewards that had appeared in the System Storage."Nine Phantom Needles and an Invisibility Cloak."Made of an unknown black substance, the Phantom Needles were almost transparent against his skin and had a black hue.When
