You fulfilled the receptionist's wish of not being fired. Wish value, plus one. Current
progress, eleven of ten.
With the matter settled, all that was left was to deal with the guy in shades. Keith looked
at him indifferently and didn't say a word. Immediately, all eyes in the room gathered on
the rich young couple.
The man clenched his teeth slightly and his expression was incomparably ugly. He
looked at Gwen, then at his girlfriend beside him. Finally, he saw Keith's gaze and knew
that he had no choice but to apologize immediately.
If Gwen decided to take this out on his family's business, his father would be bankrupt in
no time. The man in shades made up his mind. He prepared to kneel down to kiss Keith's
shoes, but a hand stopped him.
Keith stood the man back up, took off his sunglasses, and said lightly, Forget about it.
Keep your pride. Keith pushed him aside and said with a cold voice, Take your girlfriend
and get lost.
Don't let me see you again. When the man in shades heard this, he apologized and
escaped. You fulfilled the man's wish of not kissing your shoes.
Wish value, plus one. Progress, twelve of ten. Gwen looked at Keith's calm expression
and felt a trace of curiosity in her heart.
Keith had spoken up on behalf of the receptionist and stopped the guy in shades from
humiliating himself in front of everyone. It gave her a new understanding of him. She
remembered how, at the critical moment last night, Keith had also stopped her husband.Son's fingers. This was another side to the young man by who she was so intimidated.
Keith wasn't cruel.
Instead, he showed mercy. Maybe he wasn't that scary after all. When Gwen realized
this, she didn't feel as frightened anymore.
Instead, she found herself wanting to know more about this enigmatic young man. But
right now, Keith wasn't interested in Gwen's thoughts. He said to the receptionist, who
was still in a daze, Why are you standing there? Hurry up and get the ball rolling.
I want to rent the apartment. Oh, okay. Right away, sir.
The receptionist trembled. Of course, she didn't dare mention the matter of the $72,000
and quickly completed the necessary paperwork. Sir, please wait a moment.
There will be an agent to take you to the apartment right away. Before Keith could say
anything, Gwen said, Why don't I drive you over there? Huh? Keith was slightly stunned
and looked at Gwen with a frown. She'd been so scared a moment ago.
Why did she want to take him to the apartment now? Keith was puzzled. And even if he'd
used his optimal logic, he couldn't have guessed what Gwen's intentions were. But he
had a plan.
After taking the key from the receptionist, he smiled faintly and said, My legs work just
fine. There's no need to trouble you. He didn't look at Gwen's expression, but walked
steadily out of the realtor's office instead.
Keith had three charm points, which meant that people would instinctively have a good
impression of him. Once he smiled, no matter if it was at Gwen, the receptionist, or the
other people in the office, their hearts skipped for no apparent reason. Gwen stared
blankly at Keith's back.
Though her heart had stopped racing, she still felt a little uncomfortable. When she
offered to take Keith to see the room, she was shocked by her own words, but she still
hadn't expected Keith to reject her, and he hadn't even bothered to look at her. The
whole situation gave her a strange feeling in her heart.
Am I really that old? She thought to herself. Keith looked back at the realtor's office, and
a faint smile appeared on his face. He knew this agency belonged to the Carrington
Group.
In fact, that was why he'd come here. His purpose was clear. He wanted to let Magnusknow where he lived, so that Magnus wouldn't go to his parents' house when he wanted
revenge.
Keith's family had always been his weakness. As soon as he was earning some decent
money, he'd buy a high-end property with full security, so that he could be completely at
ease. Keith walked down the road and said in his head, The system, I want to make a
wish.
I want to have the ability to move quickly. Successful wish. Host has obtained a skill,
windwalking.
Description? Host's movement speed will increase by 300% after activating the skill. The
chance of dodging will increase by 100%. Note, the duration of this skill is based on the
host's stamina.
When stamina is used up, the skill will stop. Keith was delighted. He'd long wanted to
have this ability.
He could protect himself and escape, and if anything happened to his family, he could be
there in no time. What surprised him most was that his dodging rate increased by 100%.
If he wanted to succeed in the future, he knew he would have to offend others he might
even end up being shot at.
The ability to dodge bullets was exactly what he wanted. He asked the system some
careful questions about his new skills and discovered that the probability of successful
dodging was based on dexterity. Using his optimal logic, Keith found that 20 dexterity
was still not enough to activate windwalking.
To avoid bullets at a close distance, he needed at least 40 dexterity. If he encountered a
submachine gun, he needed at least 60 dexterity. Besides dexterity, he also needed a
strong reaction time and powerful eyesight.
If he wanted to protect himself, he still had a long way to go. He walked to White Pine
Gardens and showed his key at the entrance to the building. Only then did the security
guard let him in.
The property management certainly wasn't slack here. Keith found the right apartment
and let himself in. The renovation wasn't bad, and there was a spacious living room,
kitchen, and bathroom.
There was also a master bedroom with an ensuite and two guest rooms. He nodded in
satisfaction and pushed open the door to the main bedroom, but the scene that greeted
him gave him a shock. Lying on the large bed was a body.
Keith's first reaction was that he'd encountered a murderer. However, the soft snoring
