Ranking System-Chapter 39 The Taste Of Misfortune

"So Luis, what do you want?"

Since he had stopped me, he should at least want something. The bruise on his face started to show, and he looked at me angrily.

Even though he was angry, it was not like he could do anything to me. I could step on him all I wanted, and he could do nothing about it.

"Nothing. I wanted to greet you once for old-time sake."

"..."

Did he want to waste my time? I could have already started eating a hamburger with Nene, Reina, and Montgomery.

An idea popped into my head once I thought of something fun. Since I have cursed him, he should make great use of a source of entertainment.

"Is that so? My companions and I were about to get some hamburgers. Do you want to join?"

Everyone was shocked that I had invited him. After all, I had just punched him in the face, which was satisfying.

Nene realized what I had done and couldn't help but giggle—also entertained by the idea. Luis, seeing me propose that idea, looked skeptical.

"Sure, I could get something to eat and catch up with my old friend."

The anger that he had earlier left was quickly replaced with a smile. He was always a man with two apparent faces.

Not only did he like to bully people, but he also sucked up people in a better position than him. Now that I'm the top dog, he can't help but try to suck up to me. I might give him a little gift if he entertains me well enough.

The five of us then walked into a random burger store. I saw that my curse wasn't as good as I thought. I increased the power from one percent to five percent.

With the increase in power, misfortune for Luis started to kick in. Once we entered a store that sold burgers, a drink that someone spilled landed on Luis's crotch.

"I'm sorry!"

"No, it's fine. This isn't bothering me too much."

The one spilling the drink onto him was a lady in an office suit. With her apologizing, Luis turned into a simp.

Yikes, what happened to him? Did my punch damage his brain? The woman grabbed a tissue paper and started to wipe his wet area.

"What are you making my wife do?"

A scream was heard, and a man ran toward the said "wife." And appearing in front of his wife, he slapped the shit out of Luis.

"Rosey, are you alright? He didn't do anything bad to you, right?"

I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. The misfortune was now working perfectly, just as I intended for it to do.

"Chazz... I poured my drink all over him. But you went overboard to hit him."

"But Rosey, I just wanted to protect you."

Listening to their loving atmosphere made me want to butt in. But before I could do so, Luis got back up and yelled at the man named "Chazz."

"Hey! what the fuck is that for!"

To get revenge, Luis grabbed a chair nearby and smashed it on Chazz's head. Luis is stronger than the man Chazz who made his head bleed.

"Chazz!"

His wife screamed in horror, trying to stop the bleeding from his head. The crowd nearby looked shocked by what happened and watched closely.

But Luis didn't stop after that hit with the chair. He went toward him and kicked him in the stomach.

"Stop."

I didn't have a hero complex, but this was partly my fault. I grabbed Luis on the shoulder, prompting him to stop.

Luis was still pissed. He was going to lash out at me but stopped at the last second. Wanting to vent his anger, he left without saying anything.

"Thank you!" 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Rosey thanked me from the bottom of her heart. She repeated it many times but remembered how to hurt her husband.

"Here, take this."

I handed Rosey a recovery potion to fix up her husband's condition. She fed it to Chazz immediately, and Chazz's pale complexion started to heal.

"Let's get something to eat."

I didn't want to wait for the woman. We came here to eat in the first place. But before we could do so, something happened outside.

The police arrived and had Luis cuffed. Someone had called the police once Chazz's head had almost bled out.

"Unhand me! I didn't do anything wrong! It was self-defense!"

Luis trying his best to resist arrest wasn't going to help him. I didn't want to waste energy trying to help him, so I stood there.

"Charles, isn't he your friend?"

Where did she get that idea? I punched him in the face. Even with her predictability, her emotional queues need improvement.

"Friend? I think you misunderstood something. I despised him."

"Then why did you invite him? I don't understand."

"Why did I invite him? It's because I wanted to piss him off repetitively."

He was a source of entertainment, that was all. Reina had misunderstood that we were friends. Nene knew that I had some dislike toward him, while Montgomery noticed something off.

"Small tits~! That's why you need more friends. Some people could've made fun of you without knowing~."

Nene liked to make comments about Reina. What a good friend she is. Now that nothing was going to happen, it was time for food.

Nene bought a lot, just like last time. Everyone here knew of Nene's appetite, so they weren't bothered by how much she ordered.

With Reina grabbing her first bite, everyone around the table stared at her. She was bothered by this but knew that saying anything wouldn't work.

Taking the first bite, we waited for her to swallow her food. Reina's face brightened once she tasted the food.

"Is it good?"

"It's better than I expected. We should eat these more often."

"For once, I agree with you~!"

Eating our food, everyone here was having a good time. Luis, who was confined by the police, was forgotten in an instant. This is the life I strive for.
