Chapter 689 Capturing the Greedy Ghost

Darwin went crazy fixing bugs all night long.

As the day broke, his computer suddenly went black with a loud "buzz"-it crashed.

He instantly collapsed, picking up his laptop and smashing it on the table. "How is this possible? I can't fix it? It can't be true, it can't be!" Thinking about what Mr. Martin said before leaving last night, he knew that if he couldn't fix it, he would be in trouble.

He knew Mr. Martin was capable of doing anything.

He didn't want to end up in prison.

So why did Max have to leave?

He had given Max all the data on the virtual assistant. Couldn't Max stay a little longer and wait for him to figure everything out?

Couldn't Max help him set it up properly before leaving, or maybe create a tutorial?

Did Max refuse to help him, knowing well that he wouldn't understand? What kind of friend was that?

Darwin's eyes turned red, and the greedy ghost on his head grew a large mouth that almost reached his abdomen.

With just a little more, it could devour him completely.

The greedy ghost had seen the harem spirit staring at Darwin last night, though it didn't notice Pablo standing nearby.

He should have left as soon as the harem spirit departed.

But Darwin had become obsessed with the virtual assistant. Greed made him desire both the honor and wealth that would come with its successful development. He also wanted to surpass Max by fixing the bug and achieving a remarkable comeback, to prove that he was better than Max.

The greedy ghost was also greedy, thinking that Darwin was already in that state, and it was just a step away from devouring him completely...

Then the door creaked open.

Lilly and Max stood there in front of him.

The greedy ghost was startled at the sight of Lilly, sensing a terrifying aura even more dreadful than the harem spirit.

The greedy ghost immediately tried to run.

Lilly raised her palm, and without needing to touch the greedy ghost, she sealed it within Darwin.

The greedy ghost swelled to its maximum size, almost reaching the ceiling. The enormous ghostly shadow wriggled and struggled, angrily shouting, "Let me go!" Lilly remained unfazed.

Darwin looked up and saw Max, instantly lighting up.

"Max, why are you here?" Darwin exclaimed with joy. "It's perfect timing. I've encountered a difficult problem. How do I fix this bug?"

He wanted to open his computer but realized he had smashed it himself.

Going insane, he ran around the room and pulled out another laptop, thrusting it into Max's hands.

"Here, take this! It's the bug I found, but I can't fix it... Well, as long as the program can run, we don't need to worry about this bug... I just can't restore it to its original state." "And those three virtual assistants don't show up. Max, please help me."

Max looked at him coldly, withdrawing his hand and pushing away Darwin's computer.

"Why should I help you?" Max said expressionlessly.

Darwin looked saddened. "You say that. Aren't we good friends?"

Max sneered, "Friends? Friends who stab me in the back?"

He looked around the room, seeing that Darwin had merely copied his design but failed to understand anything.

Darwin replied awkwardly, "Max, I didn't want to do this. It was Mr. Martin and the others who forced me."

He sighed, "You know, I couldn't refuse! I need this job, and I have an 80-year-old mother at home..."

Max interrupted, "You couldn't refuse, so you decided to steal from me?"

Darwin was also getting angry.

He didn't want to fall out with Max, really, he cherished Max as a friend!

"

He just wanted to have Max as a friend and also have the skills of the virtual assistant, just a little better than Max...

That's all, what's wrong with that?

"Max, you disappoint me..." Darwin said, "I thought you wouldn't mind. The virtual assistant is just something you play with, but I need it to save my life."

"As a good friend, can't you understand that?"

Max stepped back, his face devoid of any emotion, and coldly said, "Understand you? Do I have to finish researching the virtual assistant and then give you the core secrets of the lithography machine for you to understand?"

Darwin hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to deny it, but the words slipped out, "If I need it, can't you share it with me? Can't we succeed together? Why do you have to hoard everything for yourself?"

Max had already gained enough recognition.

He had won all kinds of awards both domestically and internationally.

Over the years, he had never seen him consider helping his good friend.

Who could bear that in their heart? Darwin felt that he had been pushed to this point by Max.

Max didn't want to argue with him anymore. He just said, "You're insane."

He didn't want to see Darwin anymore and told Lilly and Blake, "I'll wait for you outside."

Unexpectedly, Darwin exploded. He smashed the newly acquired laptop on the ground and angrily said, "Yes, I'm insane! You, with your privileged background, can't understand the struggles of us from humble origins. You don't know how hard we worked to get here! It's easy for you to go abroad for further studies, but we had to exhaust all the efforts of our entire family just to go to college!"

"You're so aloof because you're never short of money. You have a wealthy brother and a prestigious family. You can get whatever you want just by reaching out your hand. But what about me?"

"I've come this far, finally bringing honor to my family, and I want to do even better. What's wrong with that? You've never experienced the hardships of life, so what right do you have to look down on someone like me who has worked so hard?"

Max remained silent.

When did he ever look down on him?

Lilly and the others listened, astounded by his reasoning.

Wow, such logic, is both strong and bizarre.

Indeed, successful people have their reasons for success, and peculiar people have their peculiar perspectives.

Max felt exhausted. He said he didn't want to see Darwin, and he really didn't want to. He left without arguing with Darwin over his words. Darwin shouted, "So, what does it mean for you to come here? You're not here to help me, are you? You're just here to laugh at me, right?" No one answered him.

Blake lifted his foot and closed the door with a bang.

Inside the room, there was one big person and five smaller ones, staring at him intently.

Darwin panicked and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Blake twisted his wrist and said, "Nothing much... I'm the protective type. As the big brother, I can't stand seeing someone bully my little brother."

"My little brother is young and doesn't know how to fight back, but I'm different..."

In a flash, Blake's figure moved, and the next moment, there was a loud thud as Darwin was kicked and flipped onto the ground. His hands were pinned behind his back, rendering him immobile!

"Let me go!" Darwin's eyes turned red. "You're trespassing on private property. You're breaking the law. You..."

Blake's foot stepped on Darwin's cheek, grinding his face into the ground, and he whimpered, unable to speak any further.

Lilly reached out and grabbed the Greedy Ghost.

The large-sized Greedy Ghost was like a huge plastic bag, being pulled and gradually stuffed into the jar of souls by Lilly.

"Let's go!" Lilly clapped her hands. "Job done."

Blake released Darwin, his voice ominous, "You seem dissatisfied by the look on your face. Remember, my name is Anthony. If you have the guts, come replace me."
