A cold mechanical voice rang in his mind as a blue transparent system window popped up in front of his view.
He did not even take a second to realize his golden finger was here,, and so seeing the ray of hope, he quickly grasped it.
'Open it, If not, am I going to keep it for my funeral?'
Max hurriedly opened the gift package as this was his only hope because he knew very well that if he didn't do anything, He would not be able to walk out of this bar alive.
In the protagonist's eyes, he is dirt, a stain that was on his woman, and this has to be removed by any means necessary.
After all, even if the engagement is broken, he would still be the childhood sweetheart of Serena Frost, the main heroine of the protagonist's plot.
How can the protagonist allow a man who has such a close relationship with other man? His possessive nature never allows that at all, And so Max is damn sure he would die today if he did not do anything.

As his voice fell, Lots of system notifications started ringing in his mind, making him stunned for a second; however, he quickly shook it off as he started looking through rewards for anything useful.
'....I am soo dead.'
Max became dejected as he didn't find anything for his immediate rescue after a cursory glance.
What Acting skill, What cooking skill? They all are but useless to him in the current crisis.
All the hope of his that risen was once again plummeted as he looks like his soul was sucked out of him.
".....Max I know I am wronging you….How about this? I give 30% of my company's share as compensation?"
Serena's eyes suddenly became cold when she saw he did not take money and broke off their engagement immediately.
Her cold businesswoman self was just about to come out and deal with Max as she dealt with any of her business competitors.
But then her eyes fall onto the dejected on the verge of crying Max looking very pitifully.
Seeing that her heart was inexplicably softened, she remembered the happy memories of two of them from childhood.
A boy who was always following behind her like her tail, asking her to play, talking non-stop to her till his throat became sore just to hear her speak, and bringing her lots of gifts and sweets every time he came to meet her.
Even if she does not love him, She still has lots of goodwill for him hence why she wanted to break off their engagement in the first place.
Because she knows she can never give a fraction of the love he has for her as she is incapable of loving anyone.
If he never loved her this much, then she had no problem marrying him as, from a business perspective, both of their families were on top of the food chain in this city.
The collaboration between the two families would bring lots of benefits for both of them; they can even go beyond this city, expanding their business to other cities; for her, who only thinks logically, this is the perfect deal to be made.
However, because she thinks this marriage is a deal, She doesn't want Max to be in a loveless, cold marriage at all. It is not fair to him, He does not deserve it.
'His only crime was to love me wholeheartedly, I can not be too hard on him.'
Serena came out of her nostalgia as she couldn't help but think in her mind, and because of that, she even decided to give him 30% out of her own 80% shares.
"SER-!! Miss what are you doing? Giving him 30% of your shares mea-"
"Rick Gayle, This is your last warning, Shut up"
The rugged man standing next to her couldn't stand still after hearing what she offered to Max.
He, for a moment thought he heard it wrong as how could this control freak woman give that much of a share to this second rich generation?
If Max has 30% shares, then he becomes a threat as with his 30% and the rest of the 20% shareholders coming together, they can have 50% shares equal to Serenana, making her lose the absolute authority she has in the Excotica company.
He wanted to protest but Serena just coldly uttered a few words shutting him off.
'Is this woman crazy? Why are you provoking the protagonist like that? You may want to die but I do not.'
Max, who was still thinking about how to escape from this death trap, heard the tone Serena used and broke out in a cold sweat.
You know, he received the plot of the novel in the gift package, So he knew how dangerous and cruel this Rick protagonist actually is.
He is known as a blood demon on the mercenary groups as every time he takes a mission, He lets rivers of blood flow on the battlefield.
He does not even let go of people who surrender completely ignoring the war laws just because they dare to stand against him, however no one dares to do anything to him because behind him there is a hidden organization and no one wants to provoke that organization for few nobody's.
'Also why is she targeting me? Don't you see the eyes of protagonists staring hatefully at me as he wants to eat me whole? Why do you want me to die sooner?'
Max couldn't help but curse Serena as he was sweating buckets, this Rick was already on verge of bursting out and if that happened it was game over for him.
"I would sign off those shears to you right away."
Max's thought chain is broken by the words of Serena.
