Face-Slapping System

Why does it seem like you're even more happy than her that she resigned?

The boss over the phone repeated what the HR woman had asked inside his head. Hearing that, he could not help but recall his horrible experiences a few months back.

It was supposed to be just a normal day for him, chilling in his office.

But all of a sudden, a man in black suddenly appeared right in front of him like a ghost. The next moment, he did not realize that a pistol's muzzle was already pointed on his forehead.

At that time, he was too stunned to speak and the only thing he recalled before the man in black disappeared was his threatening words that made him sweat buckets.

"Employ this woman and never interfere with her decisions. If I found out that you are bullying her, or even if she is being bullied in your store… Hmmp! I'll have you explain on this microphone of mine."

After that, as if a mere ghost, the man in black disappeared right in front of his eyes again.

At first, he thought that he was only hallucinating, but the paper with Stacey's face printed on it could not be faked. It was the paper that the man in black dropped before disappearing.

Not only that, as if to assure that he would not bully Stacey, the man in black left another set of words, which just basically means the same as the first one.

In short, don't bully, or don't let Stacey get bullied, or else, you and even your family will pay the price.

With those threatening words as well as how the man just disappeared like a ghost, he had been scared witless and he experienced countless nights without sleeping to the point that his hairline has already extended further back.

He would wake up every night only to feel a shiver down his spine as he recalled that incident.

Now, a few months later, his hairline has already started moving forward again.

He has already recovered from the traumatic experience that day and his other employees, after constant reminders, never provoked Stacey either.

However, just the other day, Stacey actually called and told him that she wanted to resign. At that moment, he experienced a mini-heart attack, thinking that something might have gone wrong.

His anxiety that has been cooling down acted up again as a lot of what ifs appeared on his mind.

Fortunately, when he asked the reason, Stacey only replied that she doesn't feel like working in the store anymore.

Other employers might feel offended by her straightforward remarks, but not him. In fact, he even felt happy that Stacey would resign due to peaceful reasons.

After all, his life and his family's life were on the line here.

And to answer the HR's question, of course he would be happy if she resigned.

Without her, it would be equivalent to the Damascus blade getting removed above his head.

Without her, he would no longer need to worry about others bullying her, that would make him the outlet of the man in black's rage.

He wanted to rejoice and throw a party for such a wonderful occasion.

However, he knew that he should not. It was better to stay silent than to say anything unnecessary.

However, he was a smart man. He knew what to say and what not to say to the others.

"Well, don't worry about it. Just remember this one thing, do not ever, and ever offend her," he said before he hung up the phone.

Hearing that, the HR woman could not only shake her head.

Even the boss was afraid of her, are the rumors that Stacey was a secretly rich person actually true? That she was just working here to gain experience before she can inherit the billion-dollar company of her parents?

Due to the boss' interference and 'gossips', this kind of rumor has been circulating in the mall right the moment Stacey came to work.

'Then, it's a pity that I did not manage to befriend her while she was still here, sigh!'

Unknowingly, Stacey had already become such a legendary figure in the mall employees' eyes.

Due to her wanting to meet a mysterious person with a hidden background, she did not realize that she has already become one in the eyes of others.

Anyways, after they dealt with the resignation stuff, Roland and Stacey went directly to the Jolex Watch Store to inquire about that employee.

Speaking of him, Stacey could not help but ask Roland why he was looking for him.

After Roland recounted what happened that day, a worried expression appeared on Stacey's face as she told him to be careful in the future and not to recklessly attack people, lest he get injured.

Roland could only smile seeing her worried face.

After all, with his Level 2 Physique and Level 2 Soul, coupled with the items for sale in the Face-Slapping Store, how could he get hurt easily?

At this point, what Roland did not know was that he was not alone in the path of absolute strength and greatness.

Hidden behind the shadows of this materialistic society, were people who had already grown tired of wealth and intangible power.

Anyways, Roland reassured Stacey that he would take extra care in the future.

Entering the watch store, the gay employee who got the commission from selling the Jolex Yatch-Master to Roland approached them immediately the moment he saw them at the entrance of the store. He welcomed them enthusiastically as what every person working in this kind of trade should do.

Not beating around the bush, Roland immediately asked the situation regarding that male employee from before.

"Oh him. Sir, you don't have to worry about him, he has already been fired after the management learned of what happened here that day. And besides, just yesterday, I heard that he has been caught by the police with two others after they tried to rob a small grocery store."
