Chapter 10: A Slap for Tono

"What are you doing here, Jul?" Jalal asked, frowning.

"I'm here because of the Boss," Julfikar replied, gesturing towards Davis, who was seated in the chair.

"Boss...?" Jalal narrowed his eyes. "Which boss? And what does he have to do with my son?"

"Your son has gone too far," Julfikar sneered. "Have you never taught him manners at home? He accused the Boss of being a thief and gathered people to judge him. And the person he accused isn't just anyone—he's the owner of Sky Pavilion. Do you think he can escape this mess with just a beating?"

Hearing this, Jalal's anger boiled over. He turned to Tono, his eyes wide with fury.

"Is what Mr. Julfikar said true, Ton?! Answer me!"

Slap!

A hard slap landed on Tono's face.

"A-I…"

Slap!

A second slap struck him again.

"Julfikar wouldn't lie," Jalal muttered. He turned his gaze towards Davis, who still sat calmly, then slowly dropped to his knees before him.

"Boss, this is my fault for not raising him properly. I will punish him for you," he said, his voice trembling.

Davis looked out the window, enjoying the city view lit by streetlights and the nighttime traffic. He glanced at his watch—only ten minutes left before the banquet started.

He turned his chair around and looked at Jalal, still kneeling.

"I'm buying your shares in Sky Pavilion. I don't want to see your son in this city anymore starting tomorrow. So, if you want him to live, break one of his arms and leave this city immediately. If not, you have no idea what I can do to your family."

Davis then shifted his gaze to Tono, who had turned pale.

Jalal immediately pulled Tono to kneel as well. "Thank you for your mercy, Young Master," he said, forcing Tono's head down.

"I will also sell all my valuable assets to you, Boss," Jalal added, thinking quickly to save his family's fortune and lives.

"Mr. Jul, check all of Jalal's assets. I'm buying them."

Julfikar quickly opened his laptop and calculated Jalal's total assets.

"All of his assets, including his shares, amount to about 500 million dollars."

Davis spoke in his mind.

System, can you purchase all these assets?

(Yes, Master. But they will belong to the system, not you personally.)

No problem. Buy them for 300 million dollars.

(All assets will be acquired shortly.)

Ding! A notification popped up on Jalal's phone.

"Check it. I've transferred the money," Davis said calmly.

Jalal checked his phone and was shocked—all his assets had been bought at a price below market value. But he had no choice but to accept it.

"Once again, thank you, Boss," he said, though his heart ached.

He quickly released the chain from Tono's hand. However, the next moment, he twisted his son's arm and…

Crack!

"Aaaahhh!"

Tono screamed in pain before passing out.

"I've fulfilled your request, and I will leave this city immediately," Jalal said. He then carried Tono and left, preparing to disappear from the city forever.

Joni excused himself to return to his security post.

Meanwhile, Julfikar remained silent. He was still stunned by how his Young Boss had spent 300 million dollars without blinking. That's insane… he thought. But he shook his head, realizing that amount might be pocket change to Davis.

"Something wrong, Mr. Jul?" Davis asked.

"Nothing, Boss. We should head to the meeting soon," Julfikar replied, changing the topic.

"Lead the way," Davis said, standing up.

"I've also assigned people to monitor Jalal and his family. I want to make sure they really leave this city," Julfikar added.

Davis nodded, then walked toward the meeting venue.

The board meeting was uneventful, filled with introductions, a banquet, and endless flattery. Davis knew it was all just attempts to curry favor.

He handed over management to Handoko, including the 5% shares previously owned by Jalal in Sky Pavilion.

---

Morning arrived, greeting each person differently—some woke up eagerly, while others struggled to leave their beds. Davis was among the latter. The clock on the wall showed 8:29 AM, yet he was still reluctant to get up.

After a few minutes of battling laziness, he finally got up and did some light stretches to loosen his stiff muscles. Then, he stepped into the bathroom to freshen up.

Dressed neatly, Davis called the head chef of the Sky Pavilion restaurant to have breakfast delivered to his room.

While waiting, he called Handoko.

"Mr. Han! What's the update on Julian? Has the case been settled?" he asked directly once the call connected.

"Yes, Boss. He's now in police custody and being interrogated. There's enough evidence to charge him. Oh, and one more thing—I've shortlisted some candidates for the personal assistant position you requested. Do you have time to review them?"

Previously, Davis had asked Handoko to find a personal assistant to manage the assets he had recently acquired, including those taken from Jalal.

"Alright, set it up. I'll go with your schedule this afternoon," Davis said before ending the call.

Davis then spoke in his mind, Show my status.

Davis nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door, a beautiful waitress dressed in a server's uniform was pushing a food cart.

"Come in," Davis said with a slight smile.

The waitress hesitated for a moment before stepping inside and arranging the dishes on the table.

"There's too much food. I can't finish it alone. Join me," Davis said without looking at her.

The waitress looked uncertain, but Davis spoke again.

"I'll take responsibility if anyone scolds you. Sit."

The woman pulled out a chair with slight nervousness and sat down.

"How long have you worked at this restaurant?" Davis asked while eating.

"Just a few days, Young Master," she answered softly.

"Aren't you in college?"

"Not yet, but I plan to enroll once I've saved enough money."

Their light conversation continued until they finished eating. Before the waitress left, Davis asked for her WhatsApp number, and they exchanged contacts.

Afterward, Davis sat in contemplation.

"What should I do now? I have plenty of money, but no work. Sitting is unsettling, standing is pointless… System, do you have any tasks for me?"

(Ding! Analyzing tasks... Task found!)

(Enroll in a university. Registration time: 1 day. Penalty for failure: Loss of one eye.)

"That's way too extreme!" Davis covered one eye with his hand.

(If there's no penalty, you'll just slack off. When will you shake the world?)

Davis sighed. "You're right. I can't keep living like this. I need to look ahead."

He immediately searched online for a suitable university.

"System, prepare the necessary documents for my enrollment. You know I didn't even finish elementary school, right?"

(Don't worry, all records will be ready when you head to the university.)

Davis smirked. "Alright then, the world will soon tremble with us."
