CHAPTER 27: 27. WHO I AM

"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny about what I said?" asked Andre, looking very angry. In fact, he was the one who provoked Riki.

[Your first mission today is to kick Andre out of your building, make sure people know that you are the owner of the building]

[Your reward is a luxury car and an additional 10 points to your reputation]

Finally, the mission arrived. Riki had been waiting for it. Because he wanted to get something by expelling Andre. Consider it compensation for all the burdens Andre had imposed in the past. When else would he get a luxury car for expelling and humiliating Andre?

"Of course it’s funny, Andre! Don’t you know who I am?" Riki asked, mimicking Andre’s tone from when Riki was down back then.

Andre snorted, "You’re just a little duckling on the brink of death. Who do you think you are? You’re no better than me—I mean, you’re from the lower class, clearly not comparable to me."

Well, Andre was still the same. And even more annoying than his younger brother, Anton. Riki couldn’t understand why one family had a hobby of ruining other people’s lives.

"Is this not a problem, Andre?" Riki asked suddenly.

Andre, who didn’t understand, furrowed his brow, then grabbed Riki’s collar.

"What do you mean, you bastard! Why isn’t anyone doing anything? Quickly get this bum out of here, he’s just going to dirty this building with his presence," Andre said.

Riki grabbed Andre’s hand, which was clutching his collar, and pulled it away. He twisted Andre’s arm and turned him around.

"Hey! Damn it! What are you doing to me? Why—"

"Enough, Andre! Stop embarrassing me! Don’t you know who he is?"

Riki smirked, then pushed Andre until he fell flat on his face in front of everyone gathered there.

Of course, Andre was very embarrassed at that moment, but he was even more embarrassed because his superior scolded him.

The owner of this building.

"Sorry, boss, I was just chasing this bum away, so—"

"Who are you calling a bum, Andre? You idiot! This young man named Riki Khaizer is the new owner of this building. I sold it to him. Why are you so stupid?"

The man named Mr. Andrew, who always spoke harshly, glared at Andre with disgust.

"Mr. Andrew, I was just—"

Wait a minute, what did he just say about Riki?

"Get up quickly! Don’t make yourself look even more stupid, apologize to Mr. Khaizer right now, you idiot!"

Mr. Andrew roughly pulled Andre to his feet.

"If necessary, kneel before him! He’ll think I’m incompetent for hiring a manager!" he added.

What’s going on? Why is Mr. Andrew afraid of Riki? Riki is just a poor kid with nothing.

"Mr. Andrew, there’s no need for that. It’s okay... you’re not at fault; he’s the one who’s wrong. I want you to fire him immediately before this building officially transfers to my ownership. I don’t want any disgusting pests on my property." Riki said.

Andre’s eyes widened. There’s no way Mr. Andrew would listen to that poor kid, right?

However, what Mr. Andrew said next was unbelievable. Andre had done everything to become the manager of that building!

"You guys, get Andre out of here! He’ll just make me look even more foolish in front of Mr. Khaizer!"

Four employees approached, boldly grabbing Andre. They did it gladly, as Andre had always acted superior.

The four employees forcibly dragged Andre out of the building, kicking him out without any respect.

Riki smiled contentedly at the scene, even recording it to show the precious moment to Anton and the world.

He uploaded the video with the caption, ’This crazy person tried to kick me out of my own building, so my employees kicked him out.’ He didn’t forget to tag Andre’s account as well.

Riki wasn’t exaggerating, as Andre had often done such things to Riki in the past.

This revenge wasn’t as severe as what Andre had done, but...

[Your first mission was a success! A white Mercedes Benz S-class luxury car with a price range of $187,000 and an additional 10 points for reputation]

[5 system points added]

[Your car will be delivered to the apartment parking lot shortly]

’No, can you deliver it to the parking lot of this building?’ thought Riki.

[Of course, master, that’s easy]

[The car will be delivered to the IDN office building shortly]

Oh, right... Riki wanted to change the name of the building so that people would know it belonged to him.

"Since the troublemaker is gone, let’s talk in the room I’ve prepared, Mr. Khaizer," said Andrew.

Riki nodded, "Sure, but I want to say this now—what if we change the name of this building to my name? For example, Khaizer Building or something like that. Can that be done soon?"

"Of course it can, Mr. Khaizer! I’ll handle it myself if you don’t mind... and also, since I feel bad for you, I’ll also find the best manager for you, how about that?"

Riki smiled.

He knew Andrew was a busy man. He had many successful businesses. The office building was just one of them. He still had a super mall, a resort, and others. But he still wanted to help Riki.

He clearly thought that Riki was someone who couldn’t be offended.

That was good; it meant Riki’s reputation was improving.

"Alright, I’ll trust you, Mr. Andrew. If you ever want to sell the building again, you can tell me."

"Hahaha, of course, Mr. Khaizer."

Jake, who had been silent all along, couldn’t believe his eyes.

A man like Andrew, who was quite famous in the business world, wanted to gain Riki’s trust that much.

Jake had to work hard to make Riki trust him more.

An hour had passed. Riki and Jake exited the building.

[Your main mission to establish the company is complete!]

[The system will send information about your father to your apartment to ensure information security]

[Your main mission has been updated]

[Your current main mission is to earn 500,000$ or more within one month, no more]

[If you succeed, the second piece of information about your father will be provided]

Well, for now, Riki just wanted to relax. Though the new main mission was quite challenging and didn’t seem easy at all.

Riki stretched his stiff muscles.

"Wow, I’m so tired, even though I was just facing a 40-year-old man," said Riki. The boy’s eyes scanned the surroundings.

Then he spotted a simple restaurant. The sign on the front of the restaurant caught Riki’s attention.

"Are we going back to the apartment, or do you want to go somewhere else, boss?" Jake asked.

Riki shook his head and pointed to the restaurant he had noticed earlier.

"Let’s go there; it looks good," Riki said.

Jake looked at the small restaurant, sandwiched between several larger stores.

The place looked deserted, probably because it was still during working hours. But Jake didn’t understand what was so appealing about the restaurant. It just looked ordinary.

There was only a sign that read "serves dumplings."

"Are you hungry, boss?"

"Oh my gosh, stop calling me boss, Jake. We’re not at the office anymore. But do you like the office we chose earlier?"

Jake nodded in agreement.

"Of course I do, because it’s the best part. I really love the top floor because the view from there is so beautiful."

"Aren’t you afraid of heights?"

Jake laughed upon hearing that, "Hahaha, of course not, boss— I mean, Riki."

They were inside the small restaurant.

The only employee there was very enthusiastic to see Riki and Jake arrive. He immediately greeted both of them warmly.

There were various menu options there. Since Riki wanted to try everything, he ordered everything. One portion each.

"Riki, you’re overdoing it... we can’t eat that much." Jake whispered.

Riki shook his head, "No, I’m sure I can eat it. Oh, what if we invite Evan and Daniel too?"

Jake nodded immediately, "Do it."

Jake was just worried they wouldn’t be able to finish all the food. Because what Riki ordered was every item on the menu, meaning there were around fifteen plates and five drinks.

Soon after, Evan and Daniel arrived, along with their food. The Arcelia River was indeed close to that place.

A short while later, all the food was gone.

Riki checked the video he had recorded while he was eating. He was satisfied with what he saw.

People should know that he can do anything now.

That’s why he created a social media account, so he could show off.

He was sure that the people who had once underestimated him would find his account and regret it.

Just say Riki is very childish, because he’s just enjoying his life.

What’s the point of having luxury if you don’t show it off, right?

"You made a social media account now, Rik?" Evan asked.

Riki nodded, "Yeah, I’ve been pretty famous since bringing Angeline to Skydine. Those people are actually happy to know that Angeline and I aren’t dating anymore. Weird. I thought they’d be mad at me. You know? People always blame men for everything."

"But it’s normal to decide not to date anymore, Riki..."

"Yeah... back then, I was always blamed for taking Hannah to cheap places."

"That’s a different case, Riki! Do you want me to hit your head so you understand?"

Riki just laughed at Evan’s annoyed expression.

"Alright, Mr. Expert at Understanding Women."

"Damn it!"

A shout came from the entrance. They turned toward the sound and were shocked to see the friendly restaurant staff now sitting on the floor, surrounded by four thugs.

[Your second mission today is to save the restaurant from being seized by loan sharks. Become an investor who can turn that small restaurant into a big one!]

What kind of difficult mission does Riki have to face now?
