Everyone Else Has a System

Reagan Wessex was one of the people who was kept captured among the people in the facility. He is quite skilled in herbs and its related aspects and with the help of [Green Adventurer System] he kind of ended up being one of the rare adventuring herbalists out there.

He was strong in many ways and was a kind person. With a daughter and a wife, he just wanted to live a normal happy life.

However, the organisation kind of took that dream away from him and he had almost lost even the smallest of hope of getting out of that facility alive where he was experimented on every now and then. He longed to see his wife and children one last time… no, many times he literally begged for it. He begged the facility workers, god and everyone n anyone he could think of.

In the daily life of living hopelessly, one day he heard the announcement that Zero had made and from there on what happened made him earn his freedom and reunited him with his family. For him, Zero became kind of like a messiah who saved him from hell.

He owed Zero his life… and wanted to repay it somehow, however the thought of losing his family once again because he along with the others was winded up in Mark Leeway and Zero's deal made him a bit conflicted in his reform. Watching Zero here, he couldn't help but ask Zero face-to-face everything he had in mind.

....

"Don't worry. If I had said that I am going to cure her, then I would. At least trust your saviour, Mr Reagen Wessex."

Hearing Zero's words, Reagan looked at Zero with a slightly ashamed face before he looked at Zero again with determination and said,"I am really grateful for you to save me. It's difficult to put my feelings into words, but if you ever come in trouble, you can count on this herbalist to be helpful."

His eyes were firm, and he had a dignified look on his face. Zero smiled on the inside as he looked nonchalantly at Reagen and spoke,"Sure. If I ever need you, then I will be asking for help. Is that okay with you?"

Reagan wasn't bothered by the way Zero answered and nodded before looking at the register which Zero had in his hand and asked,"You need some herbs?"

"Yeah, can you get me these?" Zero tossed the register to Reagen. Reagan looked through the herbs Zero had marked and nodded before asking his daughter to bring the herbs from the warehouse.

Reagan's daughter, stupefied by his father's behaviour, kept staring at her father and Zero over and over. Zero simply shrugged his shoulders before moving out of the shop as he spoke," I will be in my car outside."

Reagan nodded before immediately going to pick up the herbs by himself. Since he knew the herbs like the back of his hand, it didn't take much time to bring back the herbs and give them to Zero.

"Zero. Once again, thank you and I wish you to succeed in whatever you are doing," bowed Reagen as he observed Zero's car moving away from there. Reagen then looked at his daughter and sighed before he spoke,"Sweetie, let's go inside. I think it would be better if we talk inside."

Meanwhile, Zero kept pondering over the coincidental meeting. To meet someone who knew him from this life after regression… Well, that was really something.

'Guess he will be informing the others about meeting me. Still, he wouldn't be able to tell many things about me and I suppose, even if they know my location, it doesn't affect my plan much. This will give them some peace of mind that I am around them and have not run away from the deal, leaving their lives hanging by the thread,' Zero thought as he once again calculated everything he needed to change in his plan.

'This will create some variables, but it won't be unmanageable. No, perhaps I can use this to my favour… hmmm… all right, this would be a bit more work but it will make things smoother later on,' thought Zero as his smile deepened and a grin formed on his face.

After a few more minutes of driving, he finally reached the skyscraper where he bought the floor.

He got out of the car and left the car in automatic mode from where it went to parking on its own. He, on the other side, moved inside the building and saw a luxurious hall and a reception on the other end.

Walking step by step confidently, he looked straight ahead without giving even a single glance to the people around there.

Looking at him getting closer and closer to the reception, the others couldn't help but observe him with a curious gaze. They had never heard about someone similar to the features which Zero had.

Zero reached the reception and spoke in a formal tone as he looked at the beautiful receptionist,"I am Reaper. I am here to complete the formalities regarding 147th floor that I bought last night."

-Thud

A vase fell on the floor and broke with a loud noise at a distance and looking at that side, a fat lady was looking at Zero with a shocked expression. It wasn't just her, but everyone else was looking at Zero with a flabbergasted face.

The employee looked at Zero's identity card and took his fingerprint. Finding the match to be accurate, she gulped before looking at Zero once again.

A little annoyed by their reaction, Zero stared directly into the eyes of the receptionist and said,"How long are you going to make me wait?"

The receptionist, hearing his words, immediately began calling somewhere and after another couple of minutes, a man came with a luxurious bag in his hands. He asked if he needed to escort him to the floor but Zero denied and took the bag in his own hands before moving to the lift.

Watching the lift's gate closed, they couldn't help but blankly stare at the lift for a few moments before the receptionist spoke,"The world is surely a weird place, filled with such… people."
