I'm reading the raws of chapter 128, can anyone spoil on what will happen to the rival Milktea place that's threatening MC? I'm worried on what they will do.
I'm frustrated that the MC is so lazy that he doesn't want to think of a way to franchise his Milktea shop to reduce this shit from happening by involving a ton of people's financial interests with his own to share pressure. A single Milktea shop vs a large Milktea Corporation is nuts and I'm mad that this could have been easier to fight without his inaction for months. Why even do this business without preparation first instead of running around like a headless chicken. Its not like he's lacking in money now.
This could even result in revealing his hacker history because of his increasing time and vulnerability in the spotlight. It seems that after the hacker arc, MC's IQ is getting lower and lower. First on not preparing a reason on why he suddenly became filthy rich to people, and if he didn't want the attention why on earth would he give a 19million necklace to his girlfriend. Especially without explaining to her (who has apparently never seen a diamond in her life even when her mom is a high earner). Contrary to his beliefs, not all people are uneducated and ignorant about this stuff. Its not the majority but its still a lot of people. You don't need to be an expert to know this, just have family members with jewelry and they could easily know. I'm a layman with only some exposure to jewelry and there's no way I'll mistake diamonds for glass. Especially the really luxuriously expensive ones. Its so lacking in common sense and reckless that I wonder if he really wanted her to be kidnapped or injured/dead due to robbery. So much for the cautiousness of before, he's just asking to be investigated and caught. And this type of behavior is escalating.
If he wants his wealth to be known, then prepare a cover story and go all out. On the other hand, if he wants his wealth to remain a secret at least until after graduation where he has more freedom and power, then don't do reckless and brainless actions like this. Not this indecisive back and forth actions that only provides ammunition for people to take advantage of him.
P.S. If I misunderstood something due to the inaccuracies of machine translation, please let me know.
