Chapter 3: Side Quest.

” Enter your card and then press your pin? ”

I don’t know any PIN for this card, let’s try pushing it in first.

Max with a confused face, entered his card inside, it went in smoothly and as soon as it did, the screen changed from ’Enter your card and Put your Pin’ to withdrawal amount.

So, I don’t need a PIN when using this card on the ATM either.

He didn’t notice it when he was using it on the food stall, the stall had a tap-to-pay terminal, and also the small transaction barely needed a PIN, but the ATM was different. It was a very safe place, you can guess by the security lock they put on the door.

“Let’s enter our desired amount, 10,000€, in 100€ bills, enter ”

*Cling*

Max’s eye glistened up when he heard the money counting sound inside the machine, it was counting a lot of notes. There were also options for him to choose bill size, he didn’t want to carry more notes, so he chose the highest caliber notes instead.

“Oh my fucking god.”

When cash finally showed itself, Max had to curse and gulp his saliva, a stack full of big green-colored notes, unlike 5€, 10€, and 20€, this was far larger and looked amazing.

His hand shook when he took the money in his hand from the cash dispenser box, and to his surprise, the screen was flashing with ’Do you want to do more transactions?’

Damn! I can actually do more? But let’s keep this much on me for now.

He pressed ’No,’ and his shiny card smoothly came back in his hand, the money in his hand felt heavy. Never in his life had he has seen this much money, forget about holding it in his hand like this.

I might put a crease on these precious babies.

A frown appeared on his forehead when he saw how new these notes were, but he had to put them inside his pocket or wallet, otherwise, even if Germany is very safe, his neighborhood is not.

He first put his card inside the pocket, then pulled out his wallet. Seeing the wallet, his mood dampened a lot, it was almost trash, and also he felt like it would be very unjust with these 100€ bills in his hand to put them inside it.

After thinking about it, he divided the 10,000€ in three section, he put 2,000€ in the wallet as to not to make it fat, then 4,000€ folded in his both socks and 4,000€ in the front pocket, he was too afraid to lose them.

” Alright, now calm down, I can’t look extremely happy about everything ”

Tapping on his cheek several times, he walked out of the ATM booth. He lived with several other people just like himself, although their apartment was separated, every one of them had the same situation: desperate to live, orphaned, and hungry.

I wanted to buy them some food, but that has to wait till I move out, otherwise, they’ll think I’ve won a lottery and will rob me instead.

While walking toward’s his home, Max was thinking hard, he was desperate not too long ago and he was certain that if he had to kill someone to live he might have done it, this is called survival and there’s nothing wrong with it.

The building he stayed at was a government-owned one, the neighborhood was clean, but everyone had a frown on their forehead. Max, entering the building, went straight to his apartment, there were several boys bullying a weak one downstairs, but that was barely any of his concern.

[Unlock?]

[Yes/No]

A smile finally formed on his face, he finally pressed [Yes] the button of his locked apartment to see what actually happens when he uses this feature.

*CREAAAAK*

It swung open gently, the old wooden door was slightly tilted inward, so it was mostly that tilting it, but Max didn’t even see the handle being turned, it was like magic.

Damn! I can become a great thief, but let’s forget about being a criminal, let’s enjoy society and its laws, I’ve money now anyway.

[Updated]

[New Main Mission = Get a beautiful female to like you]

[ New Side Mission = Save Emil Granger from getting bullied]

God damn!! It still gives me jump scare, eh? New mission? Granger? That boy

Max, seeing the mission, sat on his bed, then thought about all the negative and positive impacts this will have on him later. Usually other boys don’t bully him because he is not the type, he is skinny but tall, and when pushed into the corner, he will fight back more fiercely than any other.

Emil is…a coward, he looks down on people, getting bullied does not make him a saint quite the contrary I say.

Although movies highlight how the person getting bullied is always simple, this Emil, whom he has known for two years from this building, is not a good person at all, nor is he naive, because he is a little genius type, he always looks down on people.

Ah! Hell, let’s do the mission, those bullies were no saints either.

Emil and the other’s who were bullying him were same age as him but it doesn’t actually matter much, he was not that scared of them at all, now that he has no academy books to read, he can spend some time playing around.

Before leaving his apartment again, he first put all €10,000 in the pillow and under the bedsheets, checking everything was safe, he pulled out his phone.

Going barehanded to a fight is what I call ’stupidity’ and even with a weapon you can’t win 1 vs 6, right?

With a smile Max shook his head, then called ’Surveillance Officer’ for a second, then took a screenshot and ended the call in a hurry before it could connect.

Going inside his photo album, he went to the screenshot just taken then increased the brightness, it was looking like he was calling the officer.

Let’s do this.

Stepping outside, he still can hear their voices, they were going at it hard this time. Emil being bullied was nothing new, he gets more funds from the government because his smart ass knows how to handle official stuff, so after bullying him, you do get a bit sweet in your mouth.

“Hey!! Adam, Ludwig, I am calling Patrick. If you don’t stop this ”

*Tch*

“Max, don’t be a fool.”

The leader, Adam, was not happy seeing Max’s phone, his lips twitched, but he did stop himself. Others also looked visibly annoyed at Max.

“I am not, I’ll be moving out tomorrow, so I don’t care.”

Max’s ’I don’t care’ attitude made them rethink, they can catch him off guard if he lives here in the future, but if he really is moving out, they’ll be the ones getting hurt the most not physically but financially sure.

“Forget it, Adam, this coward is not worth it.”

“Yeah, we’ll get this fool after Max is gone.”

Adam was staring cold at Max with anger but rest of the boy’s pushed him back, so that they can get out of here, Emil was not worth the trouble.

“You better move out tomorrow, Max”

After the final warning, Adam’s ego finally collapsed, and they retreated. Max, seeing it, smiled, shaking his head, he locked his device. Emil’s face looked pathetic, his nose was runny and all over the place.
