'Status window, show me the current situation of the hotel.'
Ding!
— Error!
— Data connection not found.
'Huh?'
'What the hell does it mean? Is it broken?'
'But it was just fine a minute ago.'
'Whatever, let's try a different way.'
'Status window, show me a list of all the rooms and who is staying in them.'
Ding!
— Error!
— Data connection not found.
'Fck.'
'Why isn't it working?'
'I thought the system was supposed to be strong and powerful, but instead, it is a useless piece of garbage.'
'I should ask the voice.'
'System, are you there?'
No response.
'F*ck!'
'Well, I should have known. It was just too good to be true. There is no way a system can give a person so many abilities and cheat-like powers.'
'I should handle the situation on my own.'
I glanced at the status screen and it was still showing, Data Connection Not Found!
Wait!
Data Connection?
Is this what I think it is?
'Open Wifi!' I shouted in my mind.
...
...
...
...
Ding!
— WIFI: On
— Scanning for Wifi Network...
— 3 WiFi Networks Detected.
Hotel Grand Height, Guest Wifi; Open
Hotel Grand Height, Staff Wifi; Open
Hotel Grand Height, Administration Wifi; Open
— Connecting all 3 open wifi to get the best speed and access to all network data.
'Yes! It worked!'
I couldn't believe it.
It worked!
The status screen was working.
Now, all I needed to do was search for any information I needed.
"What the fuck are you looking at? You bastard!" The woman shouted, interrupting my thoughts.
Huh?
She must have mistaken me for staring at her.
"You were looking at my boobs, weren't you?" The woman continued, her voice filled with anger.
"What are you doing? Catch him." She ordered the security guards.
"I wasn't looking at your boobs," I said, rolling my eyes.
'She is too dumb and self-centered. Doesn't she even realize that if I wanted to stare at her boobs, then I would have already done it?'
'But, no matter. If she wants to make a scene, then I will play along with her.'
"Guards, catch him and lock him up. Then call the police," the woman ordered.
'What a pain.'
I sighed and turned to the guards, "Call the manager," I said, my voice firm and commanding.
"Huh?" The guards were taken aback by my sudden request.
"The manager, now," I repeated.
'System! Get me every detail of the woman in front of me and the security guard,' I said as I focused my attention on the guards.
"What the hell are you doing? Catch him, I said!" The woman yelled.
"We can't. From his clothes he looks like a high school student and if we do anything it will affect our image. We need to wait for the manager. He is on his way," one of the guards replied, his voice filled with uncertainty.
'That's right. Don't be a dick. I am just a high school student after all. And, it's not like I want to make a scene, but it is a must.'
The guards can't do anything without proper evidence. Nor they can catch me.
And they can also never touch the woman, even though she has accused Yoonhe.
And why?
Because she seems rich.
'Damn, rich people. They have really good privileges.'
'Now, let's see what the system has found for me.'
'Status Window, open her file.'
Ding!
— Loading...
Name: Kim Yeo-jin
Age: 32 years old
Married
Occupation: Businesswoman
'She is married. What a shame.'
'If she is already married then what is she doing wearing a wedding dress?'
'Well whatever, let's see if her husband has a good job.'
'Show me her husband's file.'
Ding!
Name: Lee Jong-min
Age: 35 years old
Occupation: Director, Lee Group
10% Share in the Grand Height Hotel.
'Wow, she is married to a director. Now that's something.'
But, the only problem is his share.
He is one of the biggest shareholders in the hotel.
Even if the manager gets involved, nothing will happen.
This bitch will definitely take revenge.
So...
A smile appeared on my lips as I looked at her.
"Why are you smiling?" She asked, a frown forming on her face.
"Oh, It's nothing," I said, turning away from her.
'Because I am gonna destroy you today.'
'System, check the cyber security of the hotel.'
— Cyber Security:
— The hotel has average cyber security, making it easy to break through.
'Perfect.'
Then, the next thing I did was...
'Hacking Panel, open the hotel's main server.'
And then...
'Find and copy every data you can find about the Lee group.'
'Make a back-up in my phone.'
'Copy everything that can be used against the Lee group, whether it's financial data, documents, emails, or anything.'
Ding!
— Failed!
— Your phone couldn't be found.
'Oh, right. My phone was a bit old.'
Let's forget it.
'Now, Last but not least. Find the ring by scanning all the CCTV cameras in the hotel.'
Ding!
— Scanning...
— Searching...
— Ring Located!
— It's inside the room 35. In a Wardrobe.
'Good.'
"Manager is here," the guard said.
"What happened? Why is everyone gathered here?" The manager's voice could be heard.
"The bitch has stolen my wedding ring," the woman pointed her finger at Yoonhe.
'Here we go.'
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and then...
I ran.
'Let the drama begin!'
"Rael?" Yoonhe was stunned, not expecting me to suddenly run away.
"What are you doing? Stop him," the woman's shrill voice echoed in the hall.
I ignored her and kept running.
My feet carried me swiftly as I dashed through the halls and stairs, the shouts of the guards following behind me.
Soon, I reached the third floor and headed toward room 35.
I reached the door and...
'Quick give me a keyboard!'
The keyboard appeared in my hands and...
I began typing furiously.
'The security of the hotel is quite low. The system was able to break through easily.'
'Well, whatever.'
'Hacking Panel, unlock the door!'
With a click, the door opened.
'Oh, this is gonna be fun. I have always wanted to hack into something. This is a great experience.'
But I still kept typing furiously.
The guards were getting closer, and I had to be quick.
'Hacking Panel, Send!'
Ding!
— Sent!
As soon as the word 'Sent' was displayed on the screen, the guards reached me.
And...
"Stop!" The manager's voice rang out as he rushed toward us, panting.
"Don't hit him! He has bought our hotel."
"What?"
The guards froze, their eyes widening.
"This child, he has bought the whole hotel. Do you want to get fired?" The manager asked, his tone threatening.
"I-I'm sorry sir."
The guards lowered their heads and apologized.
'Huh, how easy is it to fool people.'
'The system did an amazing job at finding the hotel's weak point and using it against them.'
"Sorry, sir. We didn't know," the guard apologized again, his voice filled with remorse.
"Don't worry. I know you didn't know." I said, putting my hand on his shoulder.
"Now, if you please make that lady apologize," I said, smiling.
"What? Apologize to whom?" The manager asked, confused.
"To the girl she accused," I replied.
"Sure sir come with me." The manager said, bowing his head a bit.
"You can go first I have to take something from this room I will catch you up. Make sure the lady apologizes."
"Yes, sir."
The manager nodded and headed off with the guards.
'Now, Let's take the ring and go. The show must go on.'
I walked into the room and made my way towards the wardrobe.
And...
I found the ring.
It was a simple gold ring.
'Is this the ring the woman was talking about?'
'It's very simple and cheap-looking.'
'Well, whatever.'
I took the ring and put it in my pocket.
Then I went back to the hallway.
"You bastard! What have you done?" The woman's shrill voice rang out, her face red with anger.
"You dare talk like that to a young master?" The manager's voice also echoed throughout the hallway.
"What young master?" The woman asked, her tone mocking. "My husband holds 10% of the hotel's shares, and the management is under his supervision."
"Not now," the manager replied, his expression solemn. "This young master has bought the whole hotel."
"What?" The woman was shocked, her mouth wide open.
"Yes, madam. He has bought the whole hotel and is the new owner."
"No, that's not possible. My husband would have told me."
"Ma'am, even your husband doesn't know about it."
"What are you saying? Are you sure?" The woman's face was pale, and her body was trembling.
"Of course, madam. The whole hotel is his property."
"Stop it!" I said, stopping the manager from talking further. "Don't argue."
Because...
I haven't actually bought the hotel.
'I just hacked the hotel server and sent you a message through the chairman's personal phone and you fcking believed it.'
'So, no I am not the new owner of the hotel. But, this doesn't matter because...'
'All I have to do is to make her think that I own the hotel.'
'And, with the help of the system, it is so easy.'
"Yes, sir," the manager said, lowering his head.
"Now, what should I do with you?" I said, as I walked towards the woman.
"You can't do anything to me. If you try anything, I will sue—," the woman said, her voice trembling slightly.
"Oh, Wait a minute," I said, interrupting her. "Okay, you don't have to apologize."
"Huh? What do you mean?" The woman asked, confused.
I ignored her and walked toward Yoonhe, who was watching the whole drama from afar.
"R-Rael, you came back," she stuttered, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Yeah," I smiled, putting my hand on her head.
"Y-you don't have to worry. I won't let her do anything to you," I assured her. "I know you didn't steal anything."
"Really?" Yoonhe asked, her eyes wide with hope.
"Yes, now come. We are going home." I grabbed her arm and started walking.
"Wait," the woman shouted, stopping us in our tracks.
"What?" I turned to look at her.
"You can't leave. You have to compensate me for the ring."
'Is she serious?'
'Is this how stupid a rich person can be?'
'Well, anyway. Let's continue the show.'
"Oh, the ring," I said, taking the ring out of my pocket.
"This?" I asked, showing her the ring.
"Yes, that's the one."
"OK, if this is the ring you lost. Then you can have it." I threw the ring at her.
"Rael?" Yoonhe looked at me with a confused expression.
"Don't worry," I said, reassuring her.
"Huh? How did you?" The woman's eyes widened as she picked up the ring from the floor.
"You don't have to ask. This is just a small trick. It's not worth mentioning." I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"And you manager. Let this woman go. And, make sure no one messes with her." I ordered the manager.
"Yes, sir."
"Good," I said, turning around and walking away with Yoonhe.
We didn't stop until we were out of the hotel.
Phew!
At last, we got out.
"Are you okay?" I asked, my eyes filled with concern.
"Yes, I am fine," Yoonhe said, looking at me.
"Thank you," she whispered, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"You don't have to thank me." I smiled, wiping her tears.
"But, Rael."
"Yeah?"
"When did you buy the whole hotel? Did you do it because of me?" She asked, her voice filled with worry.
"Oh, don't worry. I didn't do it because of you."
"I see. That's good." She said, a sigh of relief escaping her lips.
We continued to walk in silence.
"Rael, you were kinda cool when you let the woman go." She said, breaking the silence.
"Huh, Really?" I chuckled.
"Yes, you were," she nodded, a smile forming on her lips.
Looks like she doesn't know.
I never let that woman go.
'Hacking Panel, get everything against that woman about her affairs. Scan her call history, her pictures, her videos, and everything.'
'And, send it to her husband's email.'
Ding!
— Sent.
"You were really cool," she said again.
"I am glad," I smiled.
'Status Window, show me the file of that woman.'
Kim Yeo-jin:
— Has 3 lovers.
— Has an affair with the Chairman of the hotel.
'Poor woman. She will have a hard time explaining to her husband the things she did. But, who cares. She deserves it.'
"But Rael, where are you taking me? You know that I don't have a house."
"I know," I said, "that's why we are going to my house."
"Huh?"
"You are going to stay with us from now on."
"No, no, no, I can't. I don't want to trouble you." She shook her head, her expression panicked.
"Don't worry. It's not troublesome." I assured her. "Also, my mom wants to meet you. So, let's go."
"But..."
"Come on," I said, dragging her.
