"Mr. Morgan—"
Noah halted when he recognized the voice from his previous phone call behind him.
Looking back, he noticed a man in a black suit, including a vest and tie, walking behind him. He wore glasses and looked more like a young CEO than a personal assistant, appearing more stylish than Edgar.
Just before Noah was about to greet that person, suddenly, a notification sounded, startling him.
He couldn't believe his eyes:
...

[RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Recruit Matthew Graham]
[Would you like to recruit Matthew Graham? (Y/N)]
...
Noah was at a loss for words, knowing that he had to recruit Matthew first to make him his person.
What shocked him even more was Matthew's power—even stronger than Jason's. Matthew, simply too OP!
'Holy moly, he is level twenty-five! No wonder this man was one of my dad's most trusted and loyal assistants.'
He didn't hesitate to wait; he immediately chose [Y]!
"Matthew Graham?" Noah calmly asked.
"Yes, sir..." Matthew answered with a warm smile, extending his hand for a handshake. "It's an honor to meet and serve you, Mr. Morgan..."
"Noah! Please call me Noah..." he corrected. "It's nice to meet you too, Matthew," he said, accepting his handshake and gesturing for him to follow to the seating area where Jason was waiting.
As they walked, Matthew explained that he was handling the hotel administration process and didn't need to report anything. He also mentioned that he had arranged a car to take him to his new place.
Noah heard all his reports and felt pleased because every assignment this man worked on was done in a very efficient manner. Sometimes, he takes the initiative, not waiting for orders or instructions. He simply knew what was necessary for his Master's wellness.
He wondered how long Matthew had been working with his father. He intended to ask him, but he noticed that Jason had stood up from the sofa and approached him to take the suitcase from his hand.
"Good morning, Jason. You're quick today..."
Noah grins, noticing how differently he looks now. He has shaved his head short like a soldier. Dressed in all black, including his boots, he seems dressed for his role as his bodyguard.
"I didn't have much to do in the hospital, so I came early," Jason replied.
"Alright, let's sit down first." Noah motioned for everyone to take a seat on the sofa.
"This man?" Matthew asked, curious about the military-looking man sitting beside Noah.
"Ah, Edgar probably hasn't mentioned this to you. This man, Jason Sullivan, is my bodyguard..." Noah said quietly, concerned that someone might overhear him.
"Hello, Mr. Jason. It's nice to meet you. I'm Matthew, Mr. Morgan's assistant. We will now begin to see and work closely with each other." Matthew smiled warmly as he shook hands with Jason.
"No need to use Mister before my name; just Jason will do. I'm excited for us to work together, Matthew!"
...
As two of his people talk to each other, Noah is lost in his world, checking his system.
Noah was surprised to discover that notifications from his system had just come in.
When he checked, he was shocked to find a notification about the outcome of his revenge on Ryan White.
'They already captured him?'
He feels excited and curious about how they found him and how quickly they sent him to the police investigation.
Noah recalled that he had chosen revenge by sending Ryan to the police and nearly bankrupting the White Group. How dare they try to ruin Caldwell Construction?
For now, he set aside his curiosity about Ryan and reviewed the rewards he had earned.
...

[Target: Ryan White]
[Status: Success]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan! You received a reward of $50,000.]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan, you gain Skill points +25]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan, you gain Personnel points +25]
...
Noah's eyes beamed as he looked at the money he just received in his bank account.
After investing all his savings in learning martial arts, he is beginning to see some money coming back from the system!
While it may be a bit less than his previous liquid funds, it's just right for now.
As Noah prepared to close his system, he was drawn to another updated revenge result: Diana Kurt.
'So, they already fired her!?'
Noah could only let out a deep sigh. He had tried to be kind to her, yet she sealed her own fate by daring to seduce him. What a foolish woman!
...
[Revenge Ledger Updated.]
[Target: Diana Kurt]
[Status: Success]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan! You received a reward of $5,000.]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan, you gain Skill points +2]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan, you gain Personnel points +2]
...
Seeing how many points he had earned, Noah felt happy.
He could use the points to upgrade his 'Personnel' or 'Skill' to increase its power, but for now, he would leave it as is.
"Sir, should we head out now?" Matthew Morgan's voice prompted Noah to dismiss his system and look at him quickly.
He casually nods, "You two already talk to each other, right?"
"Yes, sir. We are beginning to understand and discuss our responsibilities to work alongside you," Matthew replied, looking at Jason. "Isn't that right, Jason?"
"Y-Yes..." Jason awkwardly answered Matthew. He was still not used to working with this new person, but seeing how eager and bright he was, Jason tried to adjust. He turned to see Noah. "I will drive your car to your house. And Matthew will accompany you there."
Noah was surprised that they had already made arrangements just as he was about to mention it.
"Sure! See you there, Jason..."
...
As Noah approached the Maybach parked at the main entrance, a woman suddenly ran toward him.
With just a glance, he recognized her immediately—Diana Kurt!
"Mr. Morgan, please help me. I know I'm wrong, but please give me one chance. Please, I need my work here... I need it, please..." Diana pleaded, her voice loud enough to attract a few onlookers in the lobby.
'What the hell? Why is Diana Kurt still here, causing such a fuss?' Noah was left speechless.
