If you don't have anything else to do, you can take this chance to interact with the other guests." Arlan took the invitation card with a hesitant look.

The next day, Arlan woke up blissfully. He had a good sleep and his back didn't hurt. In the apartment that he rented recently, his back would always feel sore and stiff. Arlan got up and eagerly checked his phone. [Do you want to claim your reward for today?" He laughed happily when he saw this prompt on his phone screen. It was still there!

"Here's your key, Mr. Roa. Thank you for choosing our store." Trisha bowed lightly as she gave him the car keys. Arlan nodded his head as he feigned calmness.

Arlan rested extremely well last night knowing that he didn't have to worry about his living expenses for the next month. He only ordered the best meals yesterday and he even tipped the delivery riders. It was just a small matter, but it made him satisfied. It was already early in the morning and the feeling of not having to worry about going to work was truly great. Arlan woke up with a big smile on his face. Suddenly, his device vibrated.

After cursing Jackson to his heart's content, Arlan turned his gaze at the huge building of the construction company. Bakal Brothers Co. It was the name of the company and he carved it deeply in his heart. "What should I do now?" Arlan found himself sitting on a roadside bench. His parents were farmers who live in the countryside and they used a huge portion of their savings to send him to work in the city. He would be too ashamed to return to his home given his current situation. He grabbed the…

To summarize the lives of everyone in this neighborhood in one word, pathetic. *** Inside a dilapidated room of a rundown three-story apartment, a young man in his early twenties was preparing for work. He was wearing a plain white shirt and cheap black…
