CH 2

After listening to Yamamoto’s hush words, who Yongji sent as an undercover agent to monitor Ryuto, the woman on the phone let out a sound of affirmation.

“Lord Yongji, what do I need to do next?”

“Notify advisor Sakata – find someone to kill him.”

“Yes, Lord Yongji.”

Yamamoto hung up. Meanwhile, the woman on the other side showed an intriguing expression.

‘Kiryu Ryuto, we secretly helped you kidnap Miss Koujiro, so why can’t you take advantage of her?’

‘You were given the last chance to have a good time before we dispose of you. What a pity.’

‘I wanted to get rid of you through Miss Koujiro, but for now, it doesn’t matter who kills you.’

The woman couldn’t help but giggle to herself listening to her own thoughts. She planned to manipulate and pull a few strings – wouldn’t the headline of [Master Ryuto Kidnaps the Eldest Daughter of the Koujiro Family – Both Found Dead!] be funny?

‘Damn it,’ she thought. ‘I forgot to ask Yamamoto to take a few photos of that damn pig.’

It doesn’t really matter if he gets away – the moment he re-emerges, he will be fed alive to the dogs – yes, that’s the plan!

As long as the master of Ryuto dies painfully.

Perhaps Yamamoto will join him too, bitten to death by a bunch of Tibetan mastiffs who have been starving for three days. He would be an excellent snack for them.

Deep laughter echoed in the dim room.

Meanwhile, Ryuto was still praising himself about his own plan.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the two men next to him, he fisted his right hand on his forehead, leaning forward, assuming a thinking position.

‘Damn, I’m too smart! Throwing the blame on the shadiest person in Tokyo!’

In awe of his own ingenuity, Ryuto showed a wicked smile and started to cackle.

Yamamoto returned and whispered to him, “Master, it is ready.”

“Wait outside, then. You know what to do if somebody else comes close.”

Yamamoto nodded.

“Understood.”

“Smart. Now get out.”

Yamamoto shook his head, pushing the warehouse door and leaving with the two men.

Farewell, Kiryu Ryuto, I will never have to see your stupid face ever again.

Before he left, he gave one final glance at the warehouse, smiling smugly.

He disappeared into the night, planning to find a place to smoke a few cigarettes before coming to collect his corpse.

However, Ryuto was unaware of the impending danger, sitting on his reclining chair to enjoy a short rest.

He raised his legs and put his head on his hands, as if he was on vacation.

Now, he just needs his men to come in, and he will save Miss Koujiro from them, perfect!

Glancing at himself using his phone’s camera, he couldn’t help but smile.

Besides, his favourite character from the game was Miss Koujiro Ruri.

She’s not only beautiful, but also intelligent.

Her family is said to have divine lineage, being in a family of witches who serve the gods. The most prestigious of witches have always come from the Koujiro family.

Ruri, growing up in such an aristocratic family, has the ability to remain calm in any situation, as well as extraordinary leadership abilities, able to make anyone trust and follow in her stead no matter what.

With her prominent family background and excellent abilities, she would become the face of Tianmu later on in the game, as well as becoming the heroine with the most in-game scenes.

However, since this isn’t a game world, then there isn’t a male protagonist, right?

Ryuto vaguely remembers that the male protagonist of this game is a self-defined identity.

The game’s company promoted it as an ‘immersive’ dating simulator, so it was like you are the game’s male protagonist.

Now that Ryuto has come to this world, that means that he is the male protagonist.

Doesn’t this mean that he’ll be able to romance the three heroines?

Thinking of this, his gaze on Ruri softened.

It’s near impossible to develop a relationship with the heroines as a villain.

After all, Kiryu Ryuto is described as ‘hated even by demons’.

His in-game background wasn’t clean either.

Arrogant and domineering, doing everything to achieve his goals – he is simply scum.

With such a negative reputation, no girl would want to be with him.

‘But am I not the protagonist? Shouldn’t there be some kind of system to help me?’

Beep!

Just as he thought of the word ‘system’, a strange sound beeped in his mind.

[Beep! It is detected that you desire to change your fate as a lowly being in this game – the Krypton Gold Fate Changer System is officially activated!]

The strange voice sounding in Ryuto’s mind sounded incredibly ironic.

A huge electronic screen flashed in front of his eyes.

On the translucent electronic screen, there are five big words.

[Krypton Gold Fate Changing System].

[A fantastic opportunity for low-life scum to change their fate after crossing over to this world – the purpose of this system? Use money to create your own happiness! If you’re broke, please do not open this page. I hate poor people.]

‘What the hell? Who are you calling low-life scum, you bastard! I was forced into this!’

If it wasn’t for Ruri still bound in the centre of the warehouse, Ryuto would definitely be tempted to teach this sarcastic system a lesson.

Forget it. He needs to look into this strange system.

Something seems to make his fingers shiver as he hovers over the system, but he forced himself to open it anyways.

After clicking on the main interface of the system, a row of characters appeared.

[Name: Kiryu Ryuto]

[Age: 16]

[Attributes: Resources LV1, Physical LV2, Courage LV3, Insight LV1, Charm LV1]

[Title: Master Ryuto (Charm reduced by 1, Courage increased by 1)]

[Equipment: None]

[Total Assets: 12,658,550 yuan]

[Level Explanations:

LV1: Crumbs of the Earth

LV2: Above Average

LV3: Professional Master

LV4: Warrior

LV5: Superhero]

After reading this, Ryuto’s expression froze.

‘Guess I really am a weak villain – my attributes are weak.]

Although his Courage attribute was high, what’s the use of it when he has nothing else?

Besides, he is without charm, insight, or brains. His physique is above average, but that was about it.

His system can change his fate, right? What if-

“Sorry, but the cloth is a little tight – could you loosen it up for me?”

Just as Ryuto was thinking about whether or not this system could even help him, Ruri spoke up.

Even in her current situation, her tone was as if she was sitting on a throne.

And this was the first time she spoke after she was kidnapped.

Because she couldn’t understand what absurd things were happening in this warehouse.

Actually, Ruri had no idea what happened.

She was kidnapped, yes.

But she has never given up on saving herself.

Her hands, which were tied behind her back, appeared to be tied firmly behind her back.

But in reality, she has been using the chair to slowly grind the tape around her wrist.

The tape on her hand was almost worn off, and she can break free with just a little force.

But even if she broke free, she knew she couldn’t just run out the room.

In addition to the scumbag keeping her hostage, there seems to be a few men standing inside and outside the warehouse.

These men were all carefully selected, so Ruri has zero chance of escaping.

However, just as Ruri was surveying the situation, the warehouse suddenly became very quiet.

This kind of quietness was not unusual, like the calm before a storm.

Ruri immediately noticed the change, using her request to test the waters.

The white cloth wasn’t actually that tight, she just wanted to know what was happening inside the room.

But when he heard her words, Ryuto regained his spirits.

If he was going to pretend to save her, wouldn’t it be better to communicate with her in advance?

Therefore, Ryuto came to Ruri and completely undid the white cloth covering her eyes.
