Will Hudson Rises To Power

Chapter 6

[Your flirting is too boring, you have to repeat it until you come up with something interesting.]

The system must be joking with him. Even now, Devon is pulling on his collar and staring at him with a deadly gaze. It’s as if he could kill William with his eyes.

"Hey, let me go, Devon," said William, trying to free himself from Devon’s grip.

But this is crazy! Look at those muscular full of veins arms.

Devon is incredibly strong.

William is sure he works out at the gym every day. A reminder for William to use the gym facilities in his apartment.

"You’re this weak yet you want to flirt with my cousin? You must be out of your mind."

Devon was about to raise his fist, but Carmen quickly stopped him, "Devon, stop! He’s just joking. Besides, he’s just reacting like any other guy when he sees me. He won’t harm me." said Carmen.

Devon released his grip from William’s collar. He sighed in frustration.

"Don’t you know that guy is worse than a bear? Isn’t that the trend now? Choose between a man or a bear, and everyone chooses the bear. That’s because men are so dangerous."

Carmen chuckled softly, even when she laughed, she still looked elegant. William truly admired the girl sincerely.

Carmen was truly the type of upper-class girl who wasn’t worth approaching by a man without money. Even William acknowledged that. That’s why William had never dared to approach Carmen.

If it weren’t for the system, he wouldn’t dare to be like this now. Especially with Devon, the cousin who closely guards the beautiful girl.

Only a crazy guy would dare to approach Carmen.

[And that crazy guy is you, hurry up and say something that makes her heart flutter]

Oh, William wasn’t a romantic poet. He couldn’t string together beautiful words for the girl.

"Devon, you’re overreacting!"

"I’m not overreacting, Carmen! I have to protect you because your mother entrusted you to me. Of course I have to choose who’s worthy of getting close to you. And he—"

Devon turned to William, who was staring at Carmen with a serious expression.

Devon then pushed William’s shoulder.

"Hey, why are you staring at my cousin like that?"

William didn’t move; he continued to stare at Carmen with a small smile. This made Carmen smile too.

This was the first time a guy had approached Carmen with such polite behavior. William didn’t touch Carmen carelessly or stare at her with a dirty gaze.

William’s gaze was always gentle and polite. Because of that, Carmen wasn’t bothered by William’s presence.

"Even though there are many beautiful flowers in this world, none can compare to the beauty of your smile, Carmen," said William.

Carmen giggled softly, feeling amused by William’s words, but at the same time, she liked them.

[You’ve finally completed the mission!]

[A white Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II will be available in the parking lot shortly. The complete documents are inside the car, and the car keys are in your pants pocket.]

[1 point added]

Yeah! William had obtained a luxury car priced between 450,000$ and 650,000$. He could feel his pants pocket wasn’t empty anymore.

"What the hell is that? It sounds so ridiculous. Who do you think you are to talk like that? You haven’t even paid back the debt for breaking that expensive wine! I’ll sue you for—"

"Devon!" Carmen cut Devon off, glaring at her cousin with annoyance.

"What? I was just helping you get rid of him!"

"He’s cute and adorable, I like him!"

Devon’s eyes widened in disbelief at what he’d just heard.

"This is your type of a guy? A poor, pathetic loser?"

Carmen rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Oh, come on, stop talking about wealth. This has nothing to do with that."

"It does have to do with it, Carmen!"

William, on the other hand, was confused about how to mediate between the two cousins who were arguing so heatedly.

He often saw Carmen and Devon arguing, but never in a situation like this.

[Your third mission today is to take Carmen on a date in your new car]

[If you succeed, you will receive a reward of 2 million dollars and +5 to all your stats]

[If you fail, there will be no punishment for you]

The system really muddied the waters. How could William do that while Carmen was in a heated argument with Devon?

William took a deep breath to steady himself before carrying out his mission.

Besides, there was no punishment. But he also didn’t want to refuse outright. Because two million dollars was too tempting to pass up.

"I’ll pay the 80,000$," William said suddenly.

The two cousins stopped arguing and looked at William with confused expressions.

"Don’t joke around, William," Devon said, then chuckled because he thought William was just saying something unreasonable.

"I’m serious. If I manage to pay, you have to let me take Carmen out this afternoon after my class ends, okay?" William asked.

Carmen, hearing William’s boldness, was very surprised and amazed.

When did William gain such courage? Wasn’t he usually quiet and afraid to stand up to Trent and his friends when they bullied him?

An odd feeling of interest began to grow in Carmen’s heart. She was curious about William.

"Do you have that much money? Really? Send it quickly via QRPay," said Devon, pulling out his smartphone and showing his QRPay.

QRPay was a new instant payment method developed by the country. It could be used for various payments without any hassle. With just one scan, everything was done.

"Sure," William replied briefly.

He quickly pulled out his smartphone, scanned Devon’s QRPay, and made the payment.

Devon and Carmen were surprised when the payment went through.

The 80,000$ was indeed sent.

"You... have money? Have you been pretending to be poor all this time, buddy?" Devon asked.

William just smiled mysteriously, then stepped back slowly.

"See you later, Carmen! I’ll pick you up at your class!"

William turned around and walked quickly toward his class, which was about to start.

Meanwhile, Carmen was still staring in disbelief.

Not only was William bold enough to approach her, but he also did so in a very unique way.

"I don’t know what hit that kid’s head before he came here, but Carmen—" Devon looked at Carmen seriously.

"—you still need to be careful around him. If anything happens, contact me immediately."

Carmen smiled slightly, "I think you don’t need to worry, Devon. William isn’t as bad as you think."

Devon snorted, finding it amusing to hear his cousin’s words, as she usually always complained about the behavior of the boys around her.

That guy is perverted, that one is a bit crazy... there’s always something Carmen can find to criticize about the guys who approach her. No matter how good a guy is, Carmen always finds a flaw.

But suddenly she has a good opinion of William?

"It’s interesting to see you defending that poor loser, Angel."

Carmen stood up from her seat, gave a small smile, then left Devon without another word.

"You might regret agreeing to go with him," Devon said.

Carmen turned around and replied, "We’ll see."

Devon sighed; Carmen was truly out of her mind today.
