CHAPTER 20: PRS 20

"Phoenix System, I’d like to check in and please display my panel status," Isabella Clark said, stretching on her luxurious bed.

Yesterday, she had been too busy taking care of several things to check the status. This morning, she wanted to be fully focused because she had an important meeting that afternoon with the CEO of Lulass Corporation, Alesio Xander.

[Check-in successful, 10 points will be accumulated in the system.]

Isabella sat leaning against the headboard of her bed, her fingers gently tapping her chin. "Hmm... what should I use these points for? Phoenix System, which areas do you think I should improve?"

[For beauty and intelligence, her scores are already above average. Since the Host will be meeting with a client on a special mission, improving her mentality is the most appropriate step.]

Isabella nodded slightly, her eyes narrowed. "You’re right. Meeting Alesio Xander will definitely require extra courage. Okay, Phoenix System, allocate all my points to mentality."

[Request being processed.]

Isabella felt a throbbing pain in her head. But she was used to this kind of pain whenever she improved herself. Calmly, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the pillow until the process was complete.

Strength: 20/100

Health: 10/100

Charm: 20/100

"Good. Then, I’m ready for battle today," Isabella murmured with a faint smile.

Not long after, Siva, her personal assistant, entered with breakfast. "Miss, breakfast is ready. I made you a tuna sandwich and watermelon juice."

"Thank you, Siva. You always know what I need." Isabella accepted the tray, and they ate breakfast together.

After finishing, Siva asked, "Where are we going first today, Miss?"

"To the stationery store. I also have to stop by campus to submit administrative documents."

Siva nodded, then drove Isabella’s brand-new Mercedes Benz. The streets of XX City were already starting to get busy, but Siva maneuvered her way through the traffic quite nimbly.

After completing her campus business, Isabella stopped by her stationery store. She checked the list of items that were out of stock. "Hmm, A4 paper, printer ink, and some stationery. Make sure the stock arrives this week," she told the employee.

With that done, she continued on to her coffee shop. However, before she arrived, Phoenix System suddenly turned on a new panel.

[New Mission]

[Mission: Save Royal Scott Bakery from bankruptcy.]

[Reward: 3,000 hectares of land in Palapa City, a luxury mansion worth 200 million, and ownership of a security software technology company + 30% shares.]

[Bonus: 20x cashback on invested funds.]

[Time: 2 weeks.]

Isabella read the panel with sparkling eyes. "Wow, the prize is insane. A security software technology company? That means the future!" Without hesitation, she immediately pressed the [ACCEPT] button.

Since she happened to be near Royal Scott Bakery, Isabella decided to stop by. "Siva, stop for a moment. I want to buy some bread there."

As soon as she entered, the aroma of baked goods immediately filled her nose. "Wow, it smells amazing. No wonder this shop has so many fans," she said, selecting some of her best-selling breads and a slice of her favorite cake.

As she waited in line at the cashier, her eyes caught the figure of a man who had just entered. His face was stern, his expression serious.

"Ah... isn’t that Alfred Scott, the owner of Royal Scott Bakery?" she whispered to herself.

Old memories came flooding back. Back when she was still Revan’s wife, Isabella often ordered cakes from this shop for large family events. She even met Alfred in person several times due to last-minute orders.

But this time Alfred didn’t come alone. He was accompanied by a middle-aged man Isabella recognized. "That’s... Mr. Lodo. The director of Bank K. If Alfred came with Mr. Lodo, then Phoenix System was right. Royal Scott Bakery is indeed in danger of bankruptcy."

Isabella decided to sit at a small table near the cashier while waiting. She ordered two drinks for herself and Siva, as well as a few slices of cake.

[The Host’s prediction was correct. Alfred Scott is currently lobbying Bank N for funding. Unfortunately, the effort has failed. This is the Host’s opportunity to take over the mission.]

Isabella rested her chin on her hand. "Why did it fail? Doesn’t Alfred own several large-scale bakeries?"

[That’s right. However, Royal Scott Bakery’s financial manager has already made off with nearly 2 trillion rupiah. As a result, several branches in other cities have closed. Currently, only one store in City XX remains standing.]

Isabella’s eyes widened. "Almost 2 trillion rupiah? That’s crazy... I only have 1 trillion rupiah in cash right now. If I want to help, I have to really calculate it carefully."

She looked down, biting her lip. "Phoenix System, will I really get 20x the cashback?"

[Of course. The Host might have been in too much of a rush to miss that detail. If the Host spends 1 trillion rupiah, the cashback will be 10 trillion rupiah.]

Isabella covered her face for a moment and chuckled. "Hahaha... I see. Thank goodness you reminded me. Then, this mission is definitely worth undertaking."

Siva, who had been observing, finally asked, "Miss, you seem very serious. Is there something on your mind?"

Isabella smiled faintly. "Yes, I’m considering a new business opportunity. Perhaps... Royal Scott Bakery will be part of my investment."

Siva was surprised. "But isn’t that a big risk, Miss?"

"Big risks always come with big rewards, Siva. You know my principles, right?" Isabella replied calmly.

Siva nodded, though still looking doubtful.

Shortly, Alfred Scott and Mr. Lodo emerged from the back room. Alfred’s face looked grim, while Mr. Lodo patted his shoulder reassuringly.

"Sorry, Mr. Alfred. The situation is too difficult right now. Bank K can’t provide a loan of that size. I hope you can find another solution," Mr. Lodo said before leaving.

Isabella, hearing this, became even more convinced. "Yes, it’s time for me to enter this game."

The Phoenix System beeped again:

[Host, this is a golden opportunity.] If you can save the Royal Scott Bakery within two weeks, then the entire prize will be yours.]

Isabella straightened up, her eyes burning with determination. "Alright. Let the game begin."
