BXBX NOVEL Chapter 46 Minding Your Own Business
Chapter 46 Minding Your Own Business
"Should I open it right here?" I hesitated, the thought of something powerful bursting forth from the book, like an ancient master, entering my body to teach me the secrets of pill-making. But then again, with my system, I could just manipulate any potential intruders, so no need to worry.
Alright, let\'s open this book. I flipped the cover and turned to the first page, and what I saw was beyond my wildest imagination.
"Fucker!" I cursed aloud as I saw the contents of the book. It was a damn pornographic magazine from the 1980s. No wonder it had that old smell to it. God damn it.
"Most of these women are in their 60s now! What am I going to do with this?" I cursed aloud while flipping through the book with curiosity.
"This book is useless," I muttered, closing it after seeing only 40% of the content. I decided to keep it for now, as a reminder to never trust anyone.

Old Man POV
"Hey, Old Song!" that noisy market lady called out to me again. This old hag, calling me old. If I\'m old then you\'re ugly!
"What?" I asked with an annoyed look.
"I saw you earlier, scamming a kid with one of those Role-play scams you do. One of these days, you will get karma for lying!" The old hag berated me. What a nosy busybody.
"It\'s called minding your own business!"

Back to the Restaurant .
The enticing aroma of the freshly cooked food wafted through the air as the waiter brought our dishes.
On the table sat two servings of king crabs, their meaty legs glistening with melted butter and herbs, just waiting to be cracked open to reveal the succulent flesh within.
Next to them were two large platters of shrimp, perfectly grilled to a golden hue, seasoned with a delicate mix of garlic and lemon, and garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
The ten sticks of squid were charred to perfection, each piece tender on the inside while sporting a slightly crispy exterior, marinated in a tantalizing blend of spices that made my mouth water.
And to wash it all down, two chilled sodas with condensation dripping down the sides, the bubbles fizzing, promising a refreshing accompaniment to the seafood feast.
As I laid eyes on the sumptuous spread before me, all my frustration and disappointment vanished like a puff of smoke.
"This is for you," I said as I handed her the tofu I had ordered for her.
"Eh?" She looked shocked, as if she had expected more.
Did she really think I would treat her to all this seafood? It\'s expensive, even for me. She should be thanking me instead of showing disappointment. What an ungrateful woman.
Without waiting for her, I started eating the king crab. It was huge, so I had to savor it slowly
I cracked open the king crab\'s legs, revealing the tender, sweet meat inside. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and I savored it, occasionally dipping it in garlic butter. It was a delightful experience from start to finish.
"Where is that contact of yours?" I asked while chugging my soda.
"He\'ll be here any moment," she replied.
Suddenly, I heard a loud, angry shout from behind me.
"So this is the reason why you broke up with me?"
I turned around and saw the Good Guy from back then with a frustrated look on his face. His gaze bore into me, but it seemed that he no longer recognized me due to all the changes that had happened to my face.
"I told you that we\'re over already!" Sang Hoe stood up with an angry look.
"Why? What does this man have that I don\'t? Is he richer than me? More capable?" He gritted his teeth so hard that they seemed like they might shatter. His face flushed crimson, and his fists clenched tightly as he fumed with anger. I could actually see the pain and heartbreak in his eyes, as if his entire world had crumbled before him.
I couldn\'t help but feel a tinge of pity for him. However, little did he know that he would be even more heartbroken if he found out that her beloved girlfriend had been involved with many men while they were together. In a strange twist of fate, I had actually done him a favor by setting him free from his relationship with a "call girl".
"Babe, please don\'t do this. We\'ve been together since childhood. Please, come back to me. We can still work things out," he pleaded.
I couldn\'t help but roll my eyes internally. This guy seriously needed to pull himself together. She wasn\'t even worth it. I didn\'t even bother putting my dick in her pussy since I have my own standard. Well, I did put it in her mouth, but that\'s another story.
"I don\'t love you anymore," she sneered in contempt, turning her head to the side as if she couldn\'t stand to look at him.
Why so cruel, woman? Oh, right, I instructed her to be this way.
"You\'re the reason why she\'s like this!" he berated in anger and charged towards me.
I saw him clenching his fist, planning to throw a punch. Despite my elevated stats, I didn\'t have much experience in fighting, so taking him head-on would be difficult.
"He\'s crazy! Take him down!" I shouted to one of the customers, a big, bald man.
[Suggestion: Success]
The bald customer sprang into action and grabbed him in the stomach, executing a literal takedown that pinned him to the ground.
*BAM!
I could have used my suggestion directly on him, but with his heightened anger, there was a risk of it failing. It was better to use it on a customer who was also thinking that his crazy, increasing the chances of my skill working.
"Let\'s talk outside calmly if you want to get your girlfriend back," I walked close to him and whispered the words that I knew would entice him.
