Roland's anticipation rose as he stared at the blinking System interface. His performance this past three days has been quite hefty compared to the first three days. After the incident with Daniel, his all-time face-slapping count received a major boost. He estimated the number to be more than a hundred in total.

Although he knew that kid for some time already, he was not willing to bet his only work for his mere words alone. After all, even siblings would…

Five hundred Global Dollars was double the amount he was currently earning. He did not expect Roland to be so ruthless to offer him that much for just an assistant position. The entire thing became an even more 'too good to be true' scenario for him. He grew skeptical about it but the allure of a higher wage still tempted him to ask, "This… if it's real, then I will immediately resign now!" His current position was nothing but a shallow and empty title. If could earn more being a waiter, he would even…

"Roland, where did you get such a lot of money?" Gustav looked at Roland with a scrutinizing gaze. He knew Roland's situation more than anyone else. He knew how poor the kid was so knowing him being able to buy an expensive phone like this, he could not but feel suspicious. "Did you go to the dark side?" Gustav said with an apologetic tone. He suspected him of selling drugs or he might be doing something illegal. After all, the only way to quick riches was to win in a lotto or do illegal and…

"Who is this? Your girlfriend?" "Yes!" Roland answered without any hesitation unlike the previous times where he would only stay silent. Yesterday, his relationship with Stacey has basically been confirmed with that sweaty session. On the other hand, Stacey visibly blushed at how swift Roland answered the question. It made her heart flutter as her hand unconsciously moved to grab Roland's thigh tightly. Roland ignored her actions, but his hidden dragon actually reacted without any thought. It's as if…

Hearing the employee, Roland could finally confirm that the guy he face-slapped from before has ultimately become a robber due to him. As they say, in every action, there would be a reaction.

With Roland's face-slapping, the management heard the incident and fired the guy as the consequence of his actions. The guy got desperate, so he turned into a…

Why does it seem like you're even more happy than her that she resigned? The boss over the phone repeated what the HR woman had asked inside his head. Hearing that, he could not help but recall his horrible experiences a few months back. It was supposed to be just a normal day for him, chilling in his office. But all of a sudden, a man in black suddenly appeared right in front of him like a ghost. The next moment, he did not realize that a pistol's muzzle was already pointed on his forehead. At that…

After some thought, Roland found out that Butler Frank might not be the best person to ask about this matter. After all, he came from another city and only moved here a few days ago. No matter how capable he was, his knowledge regarding the ins and outs of this city would surely not exceed those who lived here for at least a decade. There was also the case of him having not much time to investigate, so he could only rely on the internet for some information. Roland did not blame Butler Frank for this…
