Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 31 Calm Before The Storm

Perhaps planning was one of my best weapons. I loved to plan things at times… and what I loved the second most was playing with someone's mind. If you could make someone give you what you want on their own, why would there be any need to steal and make enemies?

I mean, you can make them give you what you want with just 'simple' actions and words. Why work hard, when you work smart?

.....

Zero moved out of that place and used his shadow arts before anyone could begin to trace him. His work here was already done for the time being. Now he needed a place to stay and focus on increasing his strengths.

He moved to a nearby market and sold a couple of low grade potions and earned some change. Using that change, he went to a nearby cafe and chose a private booth where he could get some privacy.

"Let the show begin. Lucia… Elle… Lucas… I hope you are ready, for I am coming to change your lives in ways you guys have never expected even in your wildest of dreams," Zero spoke as a smirk formed on his face while he opened up the computer and began hacking it.

He opened the space ring on the side and began filling up the details of his other identity.

Name: Reaper

Class: Scythe Wielder

Rank: Unknown

After mentioning the first three pieces of information, he went for other details, like background and personal history. While he did that, he added the highest grade security to this fake identity. Then he looked at his bank account with a couple of dollars left in it.

A playful smile formed on his face as he hacked into his own account and multiplied the number by millions before erasing any traces. He even created a history of transactions made by this account.

After making sure all gaps were accounted for and even if someone ends up searching through his security, all he would get is a completely white legal account, he finally took a moment of break and looked at his account.

Reaper's account balance: 423,400,293$

'This should be enough to create Reaper's presence in the Auction,' Zero thought before wondering if he should add another zero to it but thinking that this would be overdoing it, he left the idea of doing so and then moved to look through a bunch of locations where he could stay as well as train.

It took some time, but he found a certain floor in a skyscraper near the lake of Bryxton. It cost about 150 million dollars and Zero immediately took it. That place had all kinds of facilities that Zero had been looking for, from its location to the quality which Zero wanted. Everything was available there.

Then Zero looked for some high end clothing shops. As they say clothes make a person and Zero couldn't move in such a costly skyscraper having just a bunch of casual clothing.

After making sure he didn't miss anything, Zero moved for another couple of steps and bought a bunch of guns and other stuff, getting them delivered to the same location. Though the delivery dates were for a week later.

Only after he finished everything, he moved out of the cafe and made his way to the high end clothes shop. It was in a famous mall on the other side of the city.

Zero took a sigh before hailing a cab to the mall.

After a couple of hours, he reached the mall and proceeded to move into the mall. The guards and the others present there looked at Zero with a very peculiar look, judging him on his appearance.

' If I am correct, this is the type of place where only the richest can afford to buy things. Guess… there is little I can do about stuff like these, though personally I would have preferred to not attract attention,' thinking that Zero immediately moved to the clothes store.

Watching Zero coming into the shop, a bunch of girls gave him a weird look before laughing at his pathetic clothes. The employees of that shop, at first annoyed, still sighed before moving towards Zero to 'entertain' him. It was their job to look out for any guest who entered into their shop and give the best hospitality, so they had to do so. Even if it means showing and giving respect to a small white-haired kid wearing a cheap suit.

"Excuse me, sir? Do you need something from here?" one of the employees spoke with a polite smile on her face and Zero smiled in return as he thought,'Nice hospitality. I like it. Them not kicking me out based on my clothes earned them some of my respect.'

"I would like to buy a couple of suits. Can you show me around?" Zero spoke with the same smile and the employee's eyes turned a bit wide before she spoke,"Sir, it might sound a bit rude, but the suits here cost a lot. It starts with $10000, even for the lowest ones." 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

Hearing her words, Zero then sighed before he spoke,"I know. Just show me the suits, please? I am in a slight hurry."

The employee didn't speak any more and then showed him a dozen suits and after looking through all of them, Zero finally chose 4 suits.

As he began paying for the suits, the employees and the customers too kept gazing at the computer and Zero in anticipation but

-Thank you for the payment

The machine spoke and they couldn't help but blink their eyes at Zero.

"If it's not too much, can I change into your changing rooms?" Zero asked and the employee who handled Zero's purchase hurriedly nodded. They looked at Zero moving into the changing room and then coming out wearing a black and white suit.

His whole look transformed from a simple cloth change and they couldn't help but stare at him while he was walking, nodding at those employees before leaving.

Zero moved away from there, putting the suits into his space ring under the surprised gazes of all the people present there. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

"The world is surely a weird place, filled with such… people," the employee couldn't help but comment as she watched Zero disappearing from her gaze before getting back to her own work.
