Task : Face-slap him both metaphorically and literally

Reward : Steal any halo, skill, or talent of his.
• [3] What are you doing? Why get in between two love birds? It\'s not humane
Task : Just ignore it
Reward : Qi luck backlash, Suffer from worst fate for 48 hours
(Note : Because the host has the Villain halo, You will only be affected by slight bad luck for 24 hours.)]
\'Are you really want to talk about humaneness while showing me the consequences of being a good guy? Anyway 1st and 2nd option.\'
Alex said with the system in mind as once again like most of the time now, 3rd option was the worst out of the bunch, But this is useful for him to glimpse what will happen in the future, So he did not mind much.
He is just curious about how he can be affected by bad luck. This thing does not happen even when he messes with the protagonists all this time, which in itself is a great feat.
[Ding! The host chooses the option, Please complete the task to receive the rewards.]
The system voice also rang in his mind confirming his choices, Though he does not need to choose the option, Even if he just completes the task, He will receive rewards for it but he likes to choose, Which gives him an arcade-like feeling.
So after choosing it, He looked at first ready to strike when the situation presented itself.
"Yes sir, They will come here any second now, Look where they are."
The fat man quickly wipes out the large beads of sweat on his forehead. He really does not want to provoke the man in front of him.
This man is capable of shaking the whole of Berlin city with a stomp of his foot, and his reputation is also not that good. There are rumours that once he did not like someone, They ended up at the bottom of the river the next day.
So he was very fearful, Not wanting to join those countless other individuals. That\'s why he was so excited when upper management arrived, Which was a group of 2 women and one man.
"Mister Dick, Sorry for the delay, But you should have come to the top floor in the management, After all, though this is our mall this store is given on lease."
A man who looked like the leader of the group came in front of the now-known Dick, The white-haired man and said it.
The voice of upper management was to blame but was hiding it enough that it can\'t be used against him.
"Roger, We are old acquaintances, So I\'m going straight to the point, I want to buy this mall, Right here and now, Say the price, I will pay in full."
Dick did not mind Roger\'s words as it was his usual way of speaking, He was rather concerned about the mall, It was very important for him to buy it.
Sandra working here means she signed the contract, Which means she is now bound by it. As long as she does not receive a better offer of a job, or the place of this shop changes, She can\'t leave this place for at least 1 year.
If she wanted to, she had to pay a hefty fine for breaking this contract, Which she did not have at all.
So when he has control over the mall then he will also go to have control over her. For a year she can\'t get away from him and will be under his eyes.
He did nothing more than that, Money is not a problem for him, All he wants is control over her.
"Sorry, Dick you have to be disappointed but I don\'t think that our family will sell it to you. Also, I don\'t have to remind you of the consequences of interfering with others\' business fields."
Roger had no expression on his face nor there were emotions in his voice, His words were plain but they hold an infinite amount of soul-wrenching sharp intent. If Dick dares to break that delicate facade of peace among the families.
Then he will be torn into pieces with his family.
"Roger, Miller\'s family also got into real estate, Which was my family\'s territory. Why did they walk free? Do you think that is fair or right?"
Dick did not back down but looked straight at Roger and said word by word.
Alex\'s ears stand up hearing the Miller family, As he starts to improve his plan even further to make it foolproof.
"Since when do you care about fairness or right? I just wanted to say to you Mr. Dick is that, If you have guts go to the Miller family to complain, For now, fuck off."
Roger countered the argument of Dick glancing at Sandra busy gathering stuff for Alex, Then looked straight into Dick\'s eyes before asking him to fuck off.
After that, he was ready to turn around and go away with his two secretaries. He felt that it was a waste of time to argue here as he did not think Dick will offer any good deal.
"40 billion UC, And a written promise that I will not expand business in the chain stores in 10 years, Is this enough to rethink the offer?"
Dick still did not react to Rogers\'s words, Rather he had a smug smile on his lips, As Roger turned around to go away, He casually said his prize waiting to see a shocked reaction from Roger.
"What!!!? *Ahem* Are you gone mad? This mall is only worth around 25 billion UC. You wanted to lose 15 billion UC just for her?"
Roger as Dick predicted, stopped in his tract and turned around to look at him in shock. He was really shocked. Only a madman will pay this much for a mall.
Though this mall was profitable, now because of a surge of e-commerce profits are getting lower and lower, and it is estimated to drop 5-10% at the end of the year.
Everyone in business knows that, The family he works for also shifted most of their things to the e-market. They also wanted to sell this mall.
Dick also knows that, The only reason Roger refused to sell it to Dick is that he knows Dick had an ulterior motive to buy the mall not to do business and so will not give a good price but he never considered that he would pay nearly double.
"I don\'t have the authority to give you a word, Let me call my family to confirm with them."
Roger, as a trained person in the market, quickly comes out of shock and asks for time to confirm before going to the corner and dialling the call to his superiors but this deal is already done.
Now he just needs confirmation, No one will leave these huge profits at all.
"You gigolo, Now get out of this mall, Now it\'s mine. I don\'t want to be infected with diseases you are carrying from sleeping around."
After Roger went away, Dick came to Alex and said it in a cold domineering tone, Now that he owns it he has the authority to kick Alex out.
"Mister Dick, You still yet to own it, This might be hard for you to understand but the deal is only valid when two parties agree, Which is an interestingly universal thing."
Alex did not mind him at all, He just made a mental note to give 10 fold back to him later but for now, he let Dick be.
After all, The higher he flies the faster he will fall. He already sends a message, Which will airdrop trouble for Dick soon enough.
So after saying it to him, Alex walked towards Sandra "helping" her with a thing to get things quickly.
Which in Dick\'s eyes seems that he failed and is now scared, So hurry up to buy things to leave, As to save face, Still jealous of his woman being nearby to another man who was eating him alive.
And Alex here wanted just this thing. He purposefully now only slowed down the speed of Sandra but also made Dick angrier and angrier, So he made him burst out all at once.
"Okay, We will be waiting for you Madam."
Roger spoke on the phone politely, After bidding respective farewells, He came back to Dick, Which finally made him take away his rage-filled eyes from Alex and Sandra being in the same room.
"My Madam personally will come here soon to deal with the matter."
He did not waste time and said it to Dick, Which made Dick raise his eyebrows, Though this business transaction is quite big but it was not big enough to pull out Mdama, Head of the Rogers family.
Still, he did not mind. Rather he was glad he would get to see that legendary figure he heard much about.
"Sandra, I want to ask, are you single?"
Alex felt their gaze on Dick going away, So he turned to Sandra and asked without giving any prelude.
(A/N : Hey, Thank you guys because of you I just booked a Ps5 disc one, Which is also my first gaming-related and most expensive thing, So thank you to all. (PC is too expensive to build here all thanks to a surge in GUP price.)
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day �.)
