"Solomon, since when did you get so rich!"
Cassy stared in shock at Solomon, who easily bought $6,000 worth of stuff for Clara. Her ego was totally crushed. She couldn't believe this was the same man that she had dumb, a B-class man. She couldn't accept that she had played a losing game.
, so she shamelessly went to Solomon. Changing sides, "So, you've been cheating on me the whole time? While we were together, you were cheating on me with this lady here!"
Solomon gave Cassy a cold glance. He didn't want to say anything to her. Since he had come here, he had been trying to maintain control, stopping himself from saying anything to her. He just looked at her face, reminding him of how much of a fool he had been, to the extent that he even gave her his kidney.
Solomon didn't want to answer Cassy, but Clara got the message that this was her time to shine, a time to let the lady handle the matter for her future lover.
So Clara stepped up to Cassy. "Bitch, stay away from Solomon. You're now with a big-class person. Aren't you satisfied? Why are you still after my man? Are you jealous of the expensive stuff he bought for me?" Clara's words came as pure provocation toward Cassy.
Cassy clenched her fists in anger, glaring at Clara. "Solomon is mine! You don't deserve him! I've always been the love of his life. He even gave me his kidney. Forgive me for the little cheating I did, Solomon."
Cassy turned to Solomon with an innocent expression on her face, acting as if Solomon would believe her. In her mind, she thought Solomon had always been soft for her. He was going to forgive her. After all, he had given her his kidney, so surely he would forgive her easily.
The system spoke inSolomon's mind, "I have never seen such a shameless person, host. She is so very shameless. Even after everything she has done to you, she still has the audacity. She's not remorseful at all. She expects to get back together without any guilt."
"Shut your filthy mouth," Clara turned and hit Cassy. "Is it that your sugar daddy is not giving you enough money to buy all these expensive dresses?" Clara mocked Cassy with a quick smack to her face, her expression filled with disdain.
Cassy, now furious, was left speechless, realizing that Clara was right. Her sugar daddy didn't give her the money to buy expensive things; he didn't take her seriously because she was a D-class. He had many other women around him, and she was just one of them. He only gave her small favors.
Solomon just held Clara's hand and said, "Let's get out of here." Cassy glanced at the spot where Solomon was holding Clara's hand, feeling as if she would burn with embarrassment.
Solomon and Clara walked out of the place.
[Mission complete, host.

A smile stretched across Solomon's face as he heard the system's words.
---
Clara packed her hair, adjusting its weight to show her fine, pale neck. A smile appeared on her face. "Nephew, won't you still tell Auntie how you got so rich?"
She was really curious. She was happy for her nephew and the family. But if he could show her the way too...
Solomon inserted a single hand in his pocket and raised an eyebrow.
"Do you want me to take back the things I bought for you?"
An awkward smile appeared on Clara's face.
"Ahh, it hasn't gotten to that," she laughed, waving her hand. "I'll stop being curious—"
Her phone suddenly rang.
Clara stopped talking and picked up the call.
The conversation went on for a while. Afterward, Clara's expression dropped.
"What is it?" Solomon couldn't help but ask.
"Laura has been hit by a B-class person!"
Clara panicked, staring at Solomon.
His expression fell hearing those words…
This situation.
He clenched his fist.
Little Laura...
"Auntie, name of the hospital, let's go," Solomon said.
Clara had not yet answered when the system alert came through.
[Jk Hospital, 2 districts from here]
"Aunty, let's go."
Solomon held Clara's hand.
They got into a cab, with Solomon paying the fare and earning cashback that he didn't care about.
40 minutes later, Solomon arrived at the hospital.
The place was busy, with nurses and doctors rushing about.
Solomon and Clara asked for directions before they were taken to the ward where Laura might possibly be.
"Where is Laura? Where is my little niece?"
Clara asked a nurse standing beside a doctor.
The nurse didn't stand to Clara's side. She turned to Clara.
"Sorry, ma'am, the little girl has not been attended to yet. We have a VIP patient here, and we cannot treat the little girl."
"Damn you all! What is the meaning of this?" Clara exclaimed, pointing bitterly at the nurse.
How could they do this to a little girl? She has been critically hurt, and they don't want to treat her for some VIP patient? How unfair is this?
"Laura and the VIP patient of yours—who got here first, and who is in urgent care? Why won't you treat Laura?"
The nurse didn't give Clara a good response. She just looked at Clara and said, "Please, ma'am, you are disturbing us from doing our important business. Your needs are in the other room. We can take her away."
Solomon, the whole time, stood aside during all of this. His face was expressionless, but he had heard exactly what was going on. He clenched his fist, glaring at the doctor and nurse Clara was arguing with.
"This world has always been unfair," Solomon thought. He had faced the consequences of this and vowed never to let himself be like this. He had to rise to the top, so he could defend his family and never let anyone look down on them. The upper-class people had wealth, and the lower-class didn't, leaving them vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
"Stop arguing. Let's go see Laura," Solomon simply commanded.
Clara didn't say anything else to the nurse and just followed Solomon. They followed the direction the nurse had pointed. As they walked, they saw a very damaged room.
They found Laura there, bleeding, covered in blood. Solomon couldn't identify exactly where the blood was coming from.
He thought she was almost dead, but when he ran to her and saw that she was still breathing, he let out a deep sigh. His action of rubbing her hand proved how relieved he was that she was okay.
[New mission: Save your niece > Make the nurse and doctor regret not treating her > Spend a huge sum of money in the process
Time to complete mission: 12.5m left
Mission failure consequences: Laura dies if host doesn't make the doctor treat Laura before the mission completion time]
Solomon clenched his fists. Even if the system hadn't given him this mission, he would have still ensured his niece got treated. He would have found a way to make sure she was treated. He wouldn't let them get away with this. He was going to make them pay for being so merciless to a little girl just because she was from a lower class.
With Clara sitting in the room with Laura, weeping, Solomon left to confront the nurses and doctor who were standing at the ward.
"Nurses, doctors—my niece needs treatment!"
Solomon's voice came from behind the doctors, almost sending shivers down their spines. But remembering he was from a lower class, they calmed down and gave him an off look.
"Young man, what are you doing here? We told you to leave the hospital. You can't even afford the bills," the doctor said dismissively.
"Don't make noise like a dirty mouse in the sewage ."
Solomon remained silent at the doctor's words, while the nurses giggled on the side.
"Is this what you do to all your patients? How many people have died here just because you didn't treat them?"
Solomon pressed the button.
The doctor frowned at Solomon's words.
"What are you up to, young man?" He gritted his teeth, pointing his finger at Solomon.
"How many D-class, E-class, C-class patients have died here?"
"Why don't you treat them?"
Sweat started to form on the doctor's forehead.
Solomon's blood was rushing to his head. The tension was thick, the system's countdown for the mission ticking down.
Five minutes had already been wasted, but he had a plan. It just needed to be executed before time ran out.
"Why should we care about people who can't pay their hospital bills? Dead is best suited for them. We're working for the money, and anyone who gives us money, we pay first."
Solomon's eyes narrowed, a smile appeared on his face. "Done," he said slowly, bringing out his phone from his pocket.
"How will the people feel about the hospital? About the nurses and doctors here, hearing what you've just said?"
He pressed a button on his phone, and words began appearing on the screen—exactly what the doctor had said just now.
"This brat," the doctor cursed in his heart. "Give this recording to me now!"
"No!" Solomon grinned like the devil.
"I won't waste time negotiating with you. I give you 0.99 seconds to go in there and bring my niece for treatment."
Was that even possible?
The doctor didn't waste any time. He checked Solomon's face to see if he was serious, and immediately ran to Laura's room. The nurses understood the doctor's actions and followed suit.
They were so fast. All of them came out with Laura and took her into the VIP ward for treatment.
6 seconds left until the mission countdown.
[Mission ends in 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1
Mission over]
Before the time came down to 2, the doctor had already put their instruments on Laura and started working.
When the time finally ended, a sweat fell from Solomon's forehead.
He only wondered why this devil of a system came to him… always threatening him with loved ones and other unfortunate stuff.
[The system is just the system. Your father—I meant my creator—made me like that.]
The system sounded like a playful teenage boy…
He would be a fool to fully believe whatever the system was saying.
Solomon sat outside the room, waiting for Laura to be treated, when Clara came and sat next to him.
"Thank God, Solomon, they're treating her now."
She had no idea how Solomon had convinced them to treat Laura.
"Yes."
Solomon focused on the hospital door, giving a short reply.
Five seconds later, the door opened, and the nurses and doctors came outside.
Solomon inaudibly rose to his feet as the doctor walked towards him.
"She's been treated. Delete the audio."
"Nice doing business with you." Solomon ignored the doctor's words, shortly stating with a grin.
"Your account number, please."
The nurses looked at Solomon as if he was joking. One of them then gave her account, and so did the other. The doctor also provided his.
Solomon tapped on his phone, and the phones in the doctor and nurses' pockets rang instantly.
"$6000 alert."
"I got the same."
Two nurses' voices rang after the other.
"$100,000."
The doctor exclaimed, wiping his eyes to be sure.
He raised his head to look at Solomon, with no words to say.
"Young man, who are you?"
"I'm just a D-class person."
Solomon walked into the hospital room, leaving them behind. His voice faded in the nurses' and doctor's ears.
"That man… are you sure he is just a D-class, as he said?"
"God knows, maybe he's upper class, pretending to be D-class, and we've mistakenly insulted him."
