Chapter 3：Casanova enters the scene (1/2)

”Stop staring freak. You're a disgusting worm to girls like her,” Tyler insulted Ben as he stepped forward to stand at Ben's side and smirked. ”That's Penelope. You couldn't get her to talk to you to save your life, so stop looking before you embarrass yourself.”

Ben gritted his teeth. This girl was way out of his league, but why did bastards like this always have to rub it in his face?!? Ben was reaching his breaking point.

He came all the way to New York City hoping to start a new life, only to be treated like trash, and told he would die in one month if he didn't do the impossible! He couldn't take it anymore!

'I couldn't get her to talk to me to save my life?!? Even if that was true before, things can change!' He gripped the Divine Pick Up Line in his hand, feeling the dry paper rub against his skin.

'Tyler's right about one thing, this IS to save my life! Screw it!' Ben planned to wait for a perfect opportunity, to find a pretty girl somewhere to use the Divine Line on, but the system said it would work on any woman, so she might as well be a top beauty!

He turned to Tyler, ”You said I couldn't get her to even talk to me? Then watch!”

Tyler was taken aback by this outburst, but soon sneered. ”This should be funny.”

Ben ignored him. When Penelope got off the phone call, he took a deep breath, squeezed the paper in his palm, and walked into the flames. Annihilation or rebirth,

*Gulp* ”Excuse me, m..mi..miss…” he stuttered.

Tyler and his buddy were already pointing at him and chuckling, getting ready to emasculate Ben once Penelope rejected him. They were certain that any moment now, he would be humiliated in front of the entire cafeteria.

Penelope hadn't snubbed Ben right away, but it wasn't a good thing. It was only because she didn't hear him! She was still texting on her phone!

”Miss!” Ben spoke louder.

”Ah!” Penelope jumped back, startled. She held her phone to her chest in a defensive posture as she glanced at Ben like he was about to assault her.

Tyler was bent over now, laughing at Ben like he was a sideshow clown.

'This is not going well.' Ben felt his heart leap up his throat. His hands were shaking as he raised the paper to his face and read from it.

'F*ck my life.'

He made a terrible miscalculation. The text was tiny, so he hadn't studied it in detail during the short time before Fariq's entrance. Now he saw that it was complete gibberish! It didn't resemble English or any language he'd heard of!

'What is this garbage?' He tried to read from it. 'Druhhin…Uut...'

Out of nowhere, Ben's pupils dilated and his body froze. 'What's happening?' He could still think, but couldn't move or control anything. He was a statue, or so he thought…

Suddenly, ”Ben” stretched his neck and took a step towards Penelope, but this wasn't the real Ben at all! His body moved on its own!

'I've been possessed!' The ”Ben” in the cafeteria was walking, being controlled like a video game character. Ben viewed everything from his eyes as usual, but someone or something commanded his body. He felt his eyes relax and his lips stretch, forming a casual smile, an expression almost like…confidence?

”Miss, that's the textbook for Macroeconomics, isn't it…” Ben pointed to a book under Penelope's arm.

Penelope's eyes widened, glimmering in surprise. Ben was even more shocked. It wasn't because he somehow knew about the textbook, but because he was speaking a foreign language!

The Ben watching from inside only spoke English. How was his body able to converse in another language so fluently? Even though the real Ben couldn't say a word of it himself, at this moment, he could still somehow understand everything, and also recognize that it was Greek.

Tyler and his friend had their eyes bulge out! They couldn't believe this short fatty spoke a rare foreign language so well.

After a slight surprise, Penelope responded in Greek, ”It is…”
