Face-Slapping System

Chapter 198  Walking Home?

"Really? What a generous man," Madison exclaimed after hearing Roland's story.

"Could it be that they are actually your family?" She asked curiously.

Roland smiled and said, "I don't think so."

After all, only he knew that he was referring to an inanimate object like a System, and not a real person.

"You're very lucky," Madison said.

"Oh right, can you keep this a secret? I don't want the others knowing the truth," Roland stated.

"Sure, no problem," she said.

"Oh right, where are you going next? Do you always go home, now that you no longer need to do part-time work?" she continued.

Roland shook his head as a response. He and Janine would go straight to Sparkling Buds, fetch Stacey and go home together after Sparkling Buds' closing hour.

"Hmm? Oh right, now that you truly don't have part-time work to attend to, my offer still stands. Do you want to walk with me on our way home?" She said with a smile.

Roland thought for a moment and said, "My house is pretty far. But, alright, I can accompany you."

He was also a little worried for her now that she had crossed Bryan's path. Who knew if he had already secretly contacted some of his 'men' to harass her later.

"Nice!" Madison exclaimed, happy about her success of inviting Roland for a walk.

She had always wanted to do this thing.

Having a friend walk with you home was such a nice thing.

Although she was unlike Roland who doesn't interact with others, and hence doesn't have friends in school, Madison still knew how to distance herself from the rich lifestyle of her friends.

Most of them have cars or rides, so she was not able to walk with them ever since.

This was a first experience for her and she could not help but feel excited thinking about it.

She relates to Roland a lot. Both of them were poor, well… before. So she thought that the only person who could possibly walk with her while going home was only Roland.

Now, her thoughts came true and she would finally be able to experience it.

"Oh right, have you eaten yet?" Roland asked.

It was already past 6 and it was already time for dinner. This doesn't bother him as he was already level 3, but the same could not be said towards Madison as she was a normal person.

Madison shook her head and answered, "No. But speaking of that, I recently saw this viral post of a restaurant near the school. Should we go there and eat dinner? I am already feeling hungry as well, how about you?"

"Viral? Do you mean the Sparkling Buds?" Roland asked.

"Yes that one. You saw that viral post too?"

Roland nodded his head, "Kind of. Let's go there then."

Roland took out his phone and left a chat to Janine on Dissbook. Saying that he would go first, telling her the truth that he and the class president will go to the Sparkling Buds together. He also left her a message to go straight to Sparkling Buds later.

After pressing the send button, Roland also communicated with the nearby guards and told them to protect Janine in secret. Especially due to what happened at the parking lot earlier, he was worried that the same thing might happen later as well.

After doing that, he also told Stacey that he would come over and eat in Sparkling Buds with a friend. Telling her not to create a commotion and warn the employees about his arrival, lest they act out of ordinary and expose him.

Madison only knew that he got adopted by a 'rich person', she still did not know that he was now extremely rich and already has his own company and multiple properties. Roland doesn't want to be labeled as a braggart, so he decided not to tell her and stayed low-key.

After it was settled, both of them finally started to walk towards the Sparkling Buds' direction.

…

Meanwhile, back in the room, Bryan and his crew were still inside.

At this moment, they had already recovered from Madison's attacks. However, they were still fuming in anger deep inside them as what she said managed to hit their vital spot.

Bryan took out his phone and dialed a number, only for it to return a busy tone.

that Razor when you need him!"

His crew remained silent as they looked at him as he vented out his He slammed the table loudly and cursed, "Fuck! Where the fuck is that Razor when you need him!"

His crew remained silent as they looked at him as he vented out his rage.

Recently, they noticed that Bryan seemed pretty irritable and easily angered. They don't want to become the outlet of his wrath if they happen to ruin his mood, can't they?

Among them, only Kyle was the bravest.

He approached Bryan and said with wide-open eyes, "B-bryan… D-do you still have that kind of medicine? I think I t-truly experienced a leap in strength ever since I consumed them."

His voice kept on cracking the more he spoke.

"Next week. The next batch will be sent next week by my dad. I'll hit you up once the supply arrives. Just ready your money, alright?" He said.

"Do any of you know of that bitch's route going home?" Bryan said, a determined and ruthless expression appeared on her face.

His crew looked at each other before shaking their heads.

All of them would go to bars together every time classes ended, how could they afford the time to know her route?

"I do," an unexpected answer came from an unexpected person.

Bryan smiled brightly as he looked at Anna, "Great, you are indeed my girl, very capable."

"Let's go and teach that bitch a lesson!" Bryan said as he dragged everyone towards the parking lot.

Anna smiled hearing Bryan's plan. She had been irritated by Madison since yesterday as well. She felt the need to rough her up everytime she talks to Roland. Her saving Roland from Bryan earlier also made her feel uncomfortable for some reason. Teaching her a valuable lesson this time seemed the only right thing to do.

She followed Bryan willingly along with the others as they went over to the parking lot to get Bryan's pick-up truck.
