Chapter 6 Affection Points, Starting The Mission
The thought of using it in his new mansion crossed his mind, but again, the instant and extreme changes in his appearance would be too noticeable.
'Not now, not here,' he thought. 'If I want this to work, I need to give it some time.'
That's when it hit him: a two-week time would give him the perfect excuse.
If he could convince his family that he needed the time away, he could return with a new look and make it seem like it had naturally happened over time. "Yeah, a two-week timeframe would make it seem plausible. But what excuse could I use to make them actually let me go?"
Just then, the system chimed again, and a new mission popped up.
[New mission detected
Mission: Convince your family to give you a two-week timeframe away from home.
Rewards:
10% shares of Blackstone Tower
1+ affection point from Scarlett Draven!]
Parker blinked, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.
"WTF!" he muttered, staring at the mission details. It was both the opportunity of a lifetime and a challenge. This was going to be one hell of a ride. At ten percent share of the same hotel he was heading too? Even if the mission was to slap Julian in the face, Parker would dare to do that! Not to mention the other reward.
"Affection points?" He muttered again, yes, he was familiar with those but what he wasn't familiar with how his own system's affection points worked.
But before all that...
"Affection from Ms. Scarlett Draven?" That was one hell of a big dream, at least if not the system was involved. As far as he knew, she hated him and treated him the worst compared to is family.
"I am practically her slave!" Yet the system... As long as he finished this mission, he would a 1+ Affection Point from Scarlett.
AP: 05/100 (can't stand him but he's still useful)]
"As expected. She only keeps me around because no one can replace her best errand boy. But 5/100 that's huge compared to what I thought." He nodded.
He didn't linger too much on this.
It was time to craft a plan on how to convince his family. A believable lie with no loopholes. Knowing his aunt and uncle, they would go to any length to confirm anything he says and he needed them so much on this one.
"I can't go radio silent for two weeks as not only the school but Ms. Scarlett would be on my neck, that monster. That's why I need my uncle and aunt to be the ones to inform the school and my workplace as my guardians." Most especially Ms Scarlett.
She knew of his family dynamics and if his guardians called her to inform her of Parker's two week's absence, it would be easier for her to believe.
"I will explore the rest of the system when I am out of here. Little Black let's get to work!" Parker pulled out his weapon, Little Black, his MacBook, a plan already in this mind.
Parker slid into his chair, the familiar coldness of his MacBook, Little Black, against his fingertips.
His eyes flickered over the keyboard as he opened the laptop and connected to his secure VPN. The device was one of the few items that had remained fully untouched by anyone else, a perfect tool for the next step in his plan.
First, he accessed a custom browser, one that routed through layers of encrypted servers, bouncing his location multiple times across the globe.
Even the most skilled hackers would struggle to trace his movements from this point.
"Alright," Parker muttered to himself, fingers flying over the keys. He bypassed a couple of security protocols, his routine now second nature to him.
He'd done this countless times.
He found the URL of the untraceable website in a note that only he had access to—encrypted, of course, to ensure it couldn't be found if anyone ever accessed his system.
The screen blinked, confirming his login with a single line of code: ACCESS GRANTED.
Parker smirked. "Let's see how you can escape this dear Aunt and Uncle!" He muttered. Parker was a good in computers and with the skill Hacker Prodigy, he's skills were beyond the realm of understanding.
