"Don't we need to go there?" Evan whispered.

Riki put his index finger to his lips, then hissed, telling Evan to be quiet and just watch.

"Tell me, why do you want to kill me? How dare you! Damn you!" the woman continued to punch and kick the man's legs.

"Because I'm sick of you, Aileen! I know you have a lot of money, coming from a family that has everything. But you always act like you're above me. You embarrass me in front of my friends, and you—"

"You're only saying this because your father is bankrupt now, right? You owed me a million dollars yesterday and you spent it all on gambling, right? You want to kill me so you don't have to pay your debt, right? Bastard! I accepted you for who you are, didn't question your financial situation, I even forgave you for getting close to other women. But this is how you repay me? How pathetic you are!" shouted the woman named Aileen.

Suddenly, the man picked up his knife again, startling Aileen and causing her to scream reflexively as he swung the knife at her.

Riki rushed over and subdued the man. He kicked the man until he fell to the ground, then tied his hands behind his back so he couldn't fight back. Thankfully, Riki had a rope in his pants pocket, a shoelace he no longer used.

Evan also arrived shortly after, approaching the woman sitting on the ground, crying hysterically. She had just been about to be killed by her boyfriend. How terrifying.

"Are you okay?" Evan asked.

Aileen nodded slowly, trying to calm herself and wipe away her tears. She couldn't cry over that jerk.

"Damn it, let me go!" the man shouted.

Riki covered the man's mouth with duct tape he had found in the system. He couldn't stand hearing the man's shouts, which annoyed him.

"Where did you get that duct tape, Riki?" Evan asked, confused.

"It doesn't matter. What's important is, can you call Zeno and Aslan and ask them to come here? It's better if they know what happened," said Riki.

Confused, Evan simply obeyed Riki's instructions. Meanwhile, Aileen immediately grabbed Evan's smartphone.

"No, wait! Don't say anything to my younger siblings!"

Evan became even more confused, "Younger siblings?"

Riki snatched the smartphone from Aileen's hand, then called Zeno.

"Hello, Zeno?" Riki moved a little away from them so that Aileen wouldn't disturb him anymore.

Aileen cried silently again. She just didn't want her younger siblings to know that she was about to get killed, also, she embarrassed if they know that her boyfriend is not as good as she told them.

"Are you Zeno and Aslan's older sister?" asked Evan.

Aileen turned to Evan, this time really looking at him. She was surprised to see that Evan was a handsome man.

Then Aileen turned to her boyfriend—no, her ex-boyfriend, who was lying helplessly on his stomach. He wasn't even as handsome as Evan, had a bad attitude, didn't want to work hard, and just wanted her money.

How could Aileen have been so blind all this time?

Evan became even more confused when Aileen suddenly cried even harder.

She was very pitiful.

In such a confusing situation, Evan didn't want to just stand by and watch.

Because the air was very cold, Evan took the initiative to take off his jacket and give it to Aileen. At that time, Aileen was only wearing a thin knit sweater.

"Wear this, so you won't be cold," said Evan.

Not long after, Riki arrived and gave the smartphone to Evan.

"Zeno and Aslan will be here soon. You don't need to be embarrassed or shy, especially with your own brother. If you have a problem, isn't it natural for your brother to help you?"

Aileen didn't say anything, she just tightened Evan's jacket around her body to keep herself warmer.

The masculine scent of the jacket, for some reason, made Aileen feel much calmer.

When Zeno and Aslan arrived, Riki handed the problem over to them. Because they were Aileen's younger brothers.

Aileen cried again in Zeno's arms, while Aslan scolded his older sister for still wanting to date that pathetic man.

It was an interesting gift, but Riki didn't know how to use it. He would think about it later. Because now, he was starting to feel sleepy.

Aileen's ex-boyfriend was finally handed over to the authorities, using Evan's recording as evidence of the crime, which was a murder plot.

When the man was arrested, everyone woke up out of curiosity. It was around four in the morning.

Riki decided to go back to sleep in the large bed in his campervan.

But his smile faded when he saw two women sleeping comfortably there.

"Let them sleep, I think they're very sleepy," said Sean.

Riki rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling dizzy, especially because he couldn't stop Sean from letting the two women, Selene and Aileen, sleep there.

Because they were women, of course.

There was no way Riki would make a fuss over a bed.

"You can sleep on the sofa, Riki. I'll go to Deva and Travis' tent."

"What? Wait—"

Sean quickly walked out of the campervan. Even though Riki was the one who had just acquired the lightning-fast skill, not him.

"Oh my god, he's making me watch over these two women?" Riki muttered.

Since he had no other choice, he slept on the sofa, which was actually very small for Riki. However, Riki fell asleep quickly because he felt very sleepy.

***

Riki thought he would sleep comfortably as soon as he returned to his apartment. Well, even though he was bringing Selene and Sean with him. Because there were some things to discuss. But at least Riki could relax.

Although the campsite was quite pleasant, he also rode in a comfortable campervan. But still, the bed in Riki's apartment was much softer and more comfortable.

He had planned to sleep for a few hours first, then discuss some things with his twin cousins.

But that plan was ruined the moment Riki saw his uncle's family there.

Sitting casually in the apartment lobby.

Riki even remembered Sofie's words about her parents' separation. The girl said her mother ran away with her boyfriend, and her father liked to beat her.

But in reality, his uncle and aunt were sitting there, waiting for Riki's arrival. Sofie was looking down, looking very guilty.

"Why are you here?" asked Riki, not wanting to make small talk about inviting them to his apartment first.

He didn't want to spend too much time looking at their disgusting faces.

"Come on, my dear nephew... how can you bear to see your old aunt like this—"

"Tell me clearly what you want from me," replied Riki, not even bothering to hide his dislike for them.

"Is it polite for a nephew to treat his uncle and aunt like that? At the very least, invite us into your apartment. You got all that from the money my brother hid, right?"

Even though Riki's face showed only a blank expression, his eyes were darting around, knowing that the people around them were watching them.

The old Riki would not have been able to ignore all that. He would have always felt embarrassed, and as a result, he would have obeyed their wishes.

But now, Riki would not do that anymore. Instead, he would use that moment to embarrass them even more.

"So, you came here after hearing Sofie say that I now have a lot of money and a luxurious apartment? How ignorant of you. My uncle and aunt, who were supposed to protect me since I was little, refused help from others and said you could take care of me wholeheartedly. But it turns out you did all that just so you could take my father's wealth, right? Even my father's company and some other assets were divided among you who planned to destroy my family, right?"

Hearing this, they panicked.

"What are you saying? Is that how you treat your own uncle?"

"You really don't know how lucky you are. Who do you think raised you all this time, huh?"

Riki laughed out loud, causing the people around him to pay even more attention. They whispered among themselves, making his uncle and aunt panic.

"I fought for my own life, okay? When I was in trouble because my brother started gambling and got into a lot of debt, you just laughed at me and let me sink, right? What part of me did you ever care about? Oh! The only thing you ever cared about was... making sure I was down and out, unable to fight back, and easy to trample on, right? Then, after all that, I suddenly had money, and you came to take it from me too? Wow, you guys are amazing," said Riki, clapping his hands very loudly, making his uncle and aunt turn red.
