Negut's father

***: Mission accomplished? What have you done?

***: Hahaha... don't lie, the young master didn't give any mission; what do you mean by mission accomplished?

777's Manager: Are you stupid? The young master told us to 'help' Meika and that bastard Alec.

***: Ah! That mission, did you help those two?

777's Manager: Not exactly, but I can turn black into white and bad into good.

***: What?! What are you talking about? I don't understand.

***: I don't understand either.

***: Me neither.

***: Explain a bit more.

777's Manager: You know Meika's identity, right?

***: Of course! She was originally the daughter of a great family but was destroyed by other families, including...

***: Alright, that matter involves the Young Master, so don't bring it up again.

***: yes, continue, 777's Manager.

777's Manager: Hahaha... exactly. But I can change that. I just need to turn the Young Master from a bad person into a good one.

Make the Young Master secretly help Meika and turn Alec's family into the bad guys, and it's all good.

***: Wow! But this involves a lot of things; how do you plan to cover it up?

***: Exactly. To cover up one lie, you need another lie. Eventually, everything will be exposed, and by then, Meika might hate the Young Master even more.

777's Manager: Huh! Are you stupid? That's why I need your help. If we all work together, changing the truth is easy, right?

***: Hm... He makes a good point. We all hold high positions in this city; if we cooperate a bit, we can achieve what he just said.

***: Wait! Do you think she will believe the play we put on? You must know that changing someone's mind is extremely difficult. Her thoughts have been formed for nearly 10 years, do you think we can change her mind?

777's Manager: That's why I need you to cooperate with me. Besides, I won't tell her directly, instead I'll let her prove it herself.

***: Too confusing, but if you need my help, just say it.

***: Me too; I'm not good at thinking about these things.

777's Manager: Hahahaha... don't worry, I don't need you to understand; just cooperate with me well.

***: I just checked Alec's bank account; his credit score is rising rapidly, even reaching nearly 5,000 points.

That money comes from Grove, his best friend, and his sister Meika.

***: It seems... Everyone trusts him a lot. They dare to give him so many points even though they don't have many credit points themselves.

777's Manager: What?! Hahahaha... I was planning to trick him into going to the casino, but it seems fate is on our side.

***: Good! I will keep an eye on him, and if there is any new information, I will immediately inform you.

…

777's Manager is his nickname. In reality, his name is Billy.

His 'help' for Meika didn't start when Negut gave the order but began when she started working at this store.

He is not an ordinary manager; on the contrary, this store is just a place for him to gather information.

But since Meika appeared, he liked her because she was very beautiful and very cute.

Therefore, he pretended to be a kind manager to approach her.

Although he already has a wife, in this world, as long as he has the ability and the other party agrees, he can marry multiple wives.

However, thinking back now, Billy shuddered. He felt lucky that he didn't 'eat' Meika early. Otherwise, the Young Master would chop him into a hundred pieces and then throw him to the dogs.

Billy wiped his sweat, his eyes becoming sharper: "Huh! The first step has succeeded, Meika; maybe now you are very suspicious of what I said, right?"

"Humans are indeed strange creatures. When others persuade us, we don't believe it. But suspicion is different..."

…

"No way!" Meika sat in the employee dressing room alone.

She curled up in the corner, held her head, and as her body trembled, she muttered: "How could that happen? Impossible!"

At this moment, memories from when she was five years old suddenly appeared. They were very vague, causing her head to throb.

Meika only remembered that... When she was five, the house and family she loved were engulfed in flames.

At that time, Meika's butler saved her and then raised her as their own child.

But... that happened a long time ago; more than 10 years have passed, and no one remembers that anymore. There isn't even any record of Meika's family being destroyed.

"Why does the manager know about that? And... who is the Young Master the Manager mentioned?"

"Why did he ask the manager to treat me well? Does he like me? Or... is he playing with me?"

Meika bit her lip, not knowing what to believe. She didn't know whether to continue trusting the manager she thought was kind.

Her thoughts were chaotic; old painful memories and new broken one's overlapped, causing her head to ache.

The desire to know her real parents haunted her.

In fact, Alec's parents never told her about her biological parents either.

All she could remember were vague memories like tiny pieces of a huge picture.

Knock! Knock!

"Meika, are you in the room?" Billy's voice came from outside, startling Meika.

She quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and tidied up her clothes and hair.

After trying to calm her emotions, Meika took a deep breath and said, "Yes, you can come in."

Billy opened the door and entered the room.

Meika bowed her head, embarrassed, and said, "Sorry, Manager. I... I was a bit tired, so I came in here to rest for a bit."

"Ah! It's okay; if you're tired, you can rest." Billy said kindly with a smile: "Anyway, the store doesn't have too many customers right now; if you're tired, just rest a bit."

"Yes, thank you, Manager..." Meika replied, her voice carrying a bit of worry and fear.

Seeing this, Billy smiled with satisfaction, but that smile immediately disappeared.

At this moment, he was walking out while saying: "Good! Don't overexert yourself."

"Wait!" Suddenly, Meika spoke up.

Hearing this, Billy stopped but didn't turn around: "Do you need something, Meika?"

"Manager... you..." Meika trembled, but then bit her lip, mustering all her courage to say: "Do you... do you know about my parents?"

Billy was silent for a long time, then said: "No, why do you ask that?"

"Ah! No, it's just... I..." Meika bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, you should rest, I won't disturb you anymore."

Crack!

The sound of the door closing echoed. Meika clenched her fists, muttering: "Lies... why... why won't he tell me the truth?"

"Why?"

Outside, Billy smiled triumphantly and walked to the back door. Upon seeing a middle-aged man in a butler's outfit, he wasn't surprised; instead, he bowed respectfully and said, "Butler Wells."

Wells clasped his hands behind his back, nodding slightly, and said, "Will your plan... succeed?"

Billy smiled and replied, "Of course! Butler Wells, are you doubting the abilities of an intelligence-gathering expert?"

Wells shook his head and said, "I'm not doubting your abilities, it's just... I'm worried things might get out of your control."

Billy sighed, "Ah! Mr. Wells, don't worry. I assure you everything will be fine. It's just... I need more information."

Wells glanced at Billy and said, "I will share information about Meika with everyone in our chat group."

After saying that, Wells turned and left. Billy then smiled, muttering, "Controlling the thoughts of a girl in a state of panic is extremely simple."

"Young Master... I will definitely not disappoint you."

…

"Achoo!" Negut suddenly sneezed, feeling that something terrible was approaching.

This morning, he had the same feeling, and Alec almost beat Grove to death. Now, that feeling was back, and he couldn't ignore his intuition.

For a minor villain like him, even a small detail or a minor conflict with the protagonist could easily push him to the brink of death.

Negut sighed, cursing inwardly: 'Damn it! I can't level up as fast as the protagonist.'

'I can't be as lucky as the protagonist either. Ah! What should I do?'

Negut felt a bit desperate as he saw the time until the 'Death Event' was running out.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Suddenly, his phone rang, and he frowned, seeing that the caller was his father, Borok.

He thought for a moment, then accepted the call: "Dad, why are you calling me?"

[You damn brat, can't I call you?]

Borok's voice was full of anger, and Negut joked: "Hahahaha... of course you can. It's just... you rarely call me; why have you been calling me so much lately?"

[Brat... are you hiding something from me?]

Negut: "..."
