"Why is that dude so goddamn good at his job?" Harry asked no one in particular. If Graviel was there to hear his boss praise him, he would have been so pleased.
"Guys, I am fine now. You can leave...,"
"Boss I don't think it is safe for us to leave you all alone? What if you got attacked by thugs like those earlier?" The tallest of them asked in a worried tone.
Yes, he was worried about his boss's safety but he was more worried about his job.
If something bad dares happens to their boss when they are not with him, Graviel will not think twice about firing them.
Though they love the idea of getting off work to chill with friends and girlfriends, they can't risk their well-paid job just because of enjoyment.
"I am going nowhere after leaving here for my hotel room so you guys can leave for the day...,"
"But...,"
"I am the boss here and not you guys or Graviel? Do you know the consequences of arguing with your boss?" Harry tried to scare them away by using his title as their employer.
He has always hated being watched. It always makes him feel like he is in a prison.
"If you insist that you will be fine then we will leave then," the last among the three guys said. With Harry being so persistent they had no choice but to stand there and make sure he left the club premises.
They also left soon after he drove away.
Harry because of the incident had to leave for the hotel. All his expectations were cut short prematurely because of the men and their women. He regretted hooking up with the wrong women which ended up ruining the once beautiful night he dreamt of.
After freshening up, Harry lay on his king-size bed with his upper body bare. He thought about what he has been through the entire day.
Today was full of sufferings like he was cursed to have ill luck the entire day. Even the time he should have used to enjoy himself turned out to be a total disaster. Nothing went his way today.
"In high school, I saw my friends and classmates play video games similar to this. And in all these games the user always advances in power and strength as he goes about accomplishing missions. I wonder whether this system or whatnot is similar to those games?" Harry muttered to himself staring at the white ceiling.
"Will I get powerful and even be able to perform magic as I advanced in the game?" Harry asked like the answers he was looking for will be scribbled on the white ceiling.
'What exactly can this system do apart from granting people's greatest wishes? What is the benefit I will derive from all my sufferings', Harry became curious about so many things at the same time. His aching stomach from the powerful kick earlier made him see reality.
[Apart from the increase in wealth in real life, you will get more powerful as you continue accomplishing missions]
The green screen notification popped up like it can read Harry's mind.
'Being wealthy is also considered me being powerful so in what way exactly will I be powerful'.
The notification screen left Harry even more confused.
Each time he remembers that he is filthy rich in this life and this wealth was solely his and not related to his father, he is always very happy. But this is not the kind of being powerful he was referring to.
What is the use of having all the money in the world if you can't physically defend yourself in the presence of your enemies?
And this is why he wants to be physically strong. He wants to be able to battle with those who chose to attack and belittle him like those fellows in the club did.
[Fighting and defeating enemies is one of the aspects of being powerful that the system can offer but this is strictly related to your stats; The higher the stats and level the higher your combat skills]
The system clarifies in a way Harry would understand.
"Does this mean I will be able to fight like superman, iron, Aquaman and so many other heroes I know?" Harry felt a new surge of excitement after the revelation the system just gave him.
"This is awesome! I can't wait to reach that stage," Harry's smile broaden merely by the thought of being able to fight enemies professionally.
Nobody would dare pick on him if he possessed the kind of powers the system mentioned.
Harry didn't know how he drifted to sleep. He only recalled waking up when it was bright outside.
The sleepy Harry staggered to the bathroom, took care of his teeth and also showered. He dressed up and waited for room service to deliver his breakfast.
He waited for thirty minutes while playing on his cell phone before the doorbell he was waiting for finally came.
Harry went and open the door. True to his guess, it was really the room service person at the door. The only difference was that it was a lady this time around and not a guy like the previous day.
The first thing Harry noticed about the lady was the charming smile on her beautiful oval face. "Come in," Harry ushered her in after scanning her front side with his eyes which was as sharp as the eyes of the hawk. His eyes almost bulge out their sockets when they landed on her curvaceous backside.
Her butts were so plump. Merely looking at it he could imagine how awesome it will feel to give it some hard strokes.
He composed himself when the lady turned to stare at him.
