《An Almighty System From On High》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 ¡°Carrie! Why do you treat me like this? For the past three or four years, I have given you my heart and soul! I saved money and gave all my money to you, just to show you my sincerity! Why do you still abandon me and be with this middle¨Caged fat man?¡± The boy grabbed the girl¡¯s hand and pointed at the fat old man in his forties aside,pletely unable to control his emotions. ¡°Smack!¡± Adrien Higgins looked at Carrie Archer in disbelief as she heartlessly pped away his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!! Adrien Higgins, let me tell you! You are just an ordinary university ssmate of mine! What you¡¯ve spent on me, including your time and money, means nothing to me. My heart belongs to Mr. Irwin, the man standing in front of you! You¡¯d better show some respect to me! Don¡¯t you darey a finger on me!¡± Adrien looked at his girlfriend of three years, who had suddenly turned to another man, and tears welled up in Adrien¡¯s eyes. ¡°No!! You¡¯re lying to me!¡± ¡°I¡¯m lying to you? Who do you think you are? Why should I lie to you? Look at you! You have no talent or money. You¡¯ve already graduated from college but don¡¯t even have a stable job! And you want to pick up girls? You are a loser, a piece of trash. Stay away from me! Otherwise, my honey will make you stay away!¡± Carrie did not hide her aversion and disgust toward Adrien at all. ¡°Honey, let¡¯s go. I don¡¯t really know this person. We were just ssmates before. It¡¯s such a bummer that we encounter him. I feel like I¡¯m contaminated by his poverty! You must buy me a new outfitter. I¡¯ve already selected a Fendi suit that¡¯s especially suitable for my delicate figure!¡± ¡°Kid, let me tell you! My woman is not someone you can touch! You just touched her hand! Now you owe me 3,000 dors! Give the money, or you will never see the sun rise again!¡± Adrien looked at the two in disbelief, filled with anger. ¡°I¡¯ll never see the sun rise again? What can you do to me? I¡¯ve been an orphan since childhood, with no one to rely on! You wanna kill me? Come on!¡± Adrien was driven mad by his wrath. Wayne Irwin came up to Adrien and pped Adrien twice in the face. ¡°Kid! I¡¯ll hit you. every time I see you in the future!¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Adrien lowered his head in silence. The pain in his heart was far greater than the pain in his face. ¡°You loser. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you were popr and worked hard to earn money to spend on me when we were in college, did you really think I would have noticed someone like you without any background or ability? Hah, you¡¯d better stay away from me in the future! Don¡¯t evere to me again!¡± Carrie spoke with extreme disdain in Adrien¡¯s ear. Her words were like a dagger digging into his heart. Adrien watched as the two walked away side by side, the pain on his face bringing him a moment of rity. He worked so hard for three years just to see Carrie¡¯s smile. Now it seemed that Adrien was nothing but a stepping stone for her. Carrie had ruthlessly trampled on Adrien¡¯s face and shattered all his hopes and dreams for the future. The gloomy sky over Reburg was terrifying, and the invisible infrabar caused pedestrians to quicken their pace, afraid of being caught off guard by a sudden downpour Adrien walked alone on the street, watching as the storm approached with roaring winds, and the anger in his heart burst forth ¡°You adulterers!! You two will die in misery!¡± After a tirade of curses, people passing by Adrien thought Adrien was crazy, hurrying past Adrien. Suddenly, the wind seemed to grow stronger and stronger, and Adrien could barely keep his eyes open. After a final howling wind, he felt dizzy, and his head began to throb. ¡°Ding! The system is generating¡­¡± ¡°Ding! The system has sessfully bound to host!¡± Hearing that, Adrien quickly knew that he had won the biggest prize in the entire gxy, a system! ¡°Yes!¡± Adrien jumped up and down in excitement. ¡°Ding! Detected that the host¡¯s bank card only has a remaining bnce of three dors. Detected that the host was just humiliated by a scumbag and a vixen. Triggering the first task: p the vixen in the face. Host, please go to the Fendi store in Reburg Center Mall and spend 45 thousand dors immediately!¡± Adrien was dumb upon hearing the system¡¯s words. He didn¡¯t even have four dors, let alone 40 thousand dors! However, Adrien also knew the system wouldn¡¯t issue stupid tasks. It must have a second step! And he would have the money. ¡°Ding! The host¡¯s Reburg Bank card ending with 5186 has received a payment of 45 thousand dors!¡± The system was indeed reliable! Adrien couldn¡¯t wait to see the expression on Carrie when she saw that Adrien didn¡¯t hesitate to spend 40 thousand dors. Suddenly, there was a loud rumble as heavy rain poured down on Reburg! Adrien ran in the rain. He was not far away from the Reburg Center Mall, so he thought taking a taxi for such a short distance was a waste of money! However, Adrien underestimated the power of the heavy rain. Within minutes, he waspletely soaked and embarrassed when he arrived. As soon as Adrien walked into Reburg Center Mall, the security guard at the entrance stopped Adrien. ¡°What? I got soaked, and I want to buy some clothes.¡± ¡°Ahem, nothing, sir¡± The security guard thought Adrien was just seeking shelter from the rain and didn¡¯t expect Adrien to be there to shop. After entering the mall, Adrien was shocked by its luxurious decor. A st of cold air conditioning blew toward him, but it also ignited the mes of revenge in his heart! Following the signs inside the mall, Adrien arrived at the Fendi store. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Adrien stood wet outside the door of the Fendi store. ¡°Sir?¡± ¡°I just got soaked by the rain. So I want to buy some clothes that I can change into immediately. You know, it¡¯s ufortable to be all wet like this.¡± ¡°I see. Pleasee in. The service assistant couldn¡¯t drive Adrien away since Adrien was a customer, even though Adrien didn¡¯t look well¨Cdressed. Adrien heard Carrie¡¯s voice from afar saying, ¡°Honey, is this outfit nice?¡± Adrien looked over in the direction of her voice and coincidentally bumped into her face¨Cto¨Cface! ¡°Adrien Higgins! I told you not to follow me anymore! How dare you follow me here!¡± Carrie shouted. Adrien turned his head as if he hadn¡¯t heard Carrie and continued to browse the clothes.. ¡°How dare you y dumb with me?!¡± Carrie walked up to Adrien, but Adrien still ignored her as if she were invisible. ¡°Waitress, you better open your eyes wide so that people with only several dors in their pockets won¡¯te here and pick out clothes worth thousands of dors!¡± Carrie pointed at Adrien and said arrogantly. ¡°Adrien remained unmoved, continuing to choose suitable clothes for himself. It was not surprising that he was attracted to the clothes. He started working part¨Ctime in his sophomore year, and most of the money he earned was given to Carrie, only left some for daily use. To put it nicely, Adrien was a man who loved his wife. To put it bluntly, he was a lickspittle who was eventually cruelly abandoned by his lover! ¡°Sir, these clothes are all priced above 15 hundred dors each. If you really don¡¯t n to buy them, then please don¡¯t touch them. After all, we need topensate for any damages.¡± The service assistant couldn¡¯t bear to watch the scene any longer. ¡°Did you hear that, you beggar? Who gave you the courage to follow me to a store like this?! Honey, that poor loser is ruining our moods again!¡± ¡°I told you before! If I see you again, I¡¯ll hit you again! It seems like you have a short memory! You just got beaten up, and now you want some more, right?¡± Wayne walked toward Adrien with his fists clenched. Adrien didn¡¯t even bother to look at Wayne since Wayne was just a sucker. Now that Adrien had a system, there was no need for Adrien to argue with Wayne. Adrien picked out two shirts and two pairs of pants and handed them to the service assistant. ¡°Hold onto these four for me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just putting on airs. I know how much you have exactly!¡± Carrie sneered from the side, making the service assistant hesitant about Adrien¡¯s intention. ¡°If you know everything, do you know how much money I spent on you over the past three years?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you were willing to spend it on me! You have no job, no background, and not even parents. You should be grateful that anyone wanted to be with you. I must be blind, for I actually wasted three years of my life with someone like you!¡± ¡°Carrie Archer, you spent nearly 30 thousand dors of my money in the past three years¡± ¡°Three years? You were only giving me 700 dors a month. How dare you calcte the total cost over three years!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. You¡¯re absolutely right! So, where are the clothes your rich honey bought for you?¡± Adrien continued to browse the clothes without looking at Wayne or even Carrie. Carrie immediately shook the clothes in her hand in front of Adrien. ¡°Look at this suit. It¡¯s customized and costs ten thousand dors. It¡¯s what you spent on me in a year. With a honey like this, do I need someone like you?¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Go pay for it now. Then put it on immediately and make your sugar daddy happy!¡± ¡°Adrien! Can¡¯t you speak properly and decently? He¡¯s my husband! My honey!¡± ¡°Did you get married? Calling an old man who¡¯s 20 or 30 years older than you like that, huh? His son must be older than you, right?¡± Adrien had cooled down at that moment and was being all sarcastic. He didn¡¯t seem like the person who was hesitant topete with others without a system earlier. It surprised Carrie. Upon reflection, it was understandable that Adrien had worked different jobs and met different people in the past three years. ¡°You little brat, I believe you¡¯re looking for trouble!¡± Wayne, who was standing next to them, was furious when he heard Adrien¡¯s words. Although Wayne had a wife and child and was just ying around with Carric, he couldn¡¯t bear to hear something so insulting said in public. ¡°Sir! If you¡¯re here to buy something, please watch yournguage. If not, I¡¯ll call security to escort you out!¡± The service assistant who held Adrien¡¯s clothes also spoke coldly to Adrien. ¡°Are you deaf? This woman has been insulting me since I entered. You didn¡¯t say anything just because she dressed nicely? I talked back to her, and now you want to kick me out? Remember who you are. You¡¯re just a service assistant. What makes you think you can yell at me?¡± Adrien¡¯s aura wasn¡¯t something that a recent graduate could be easily released but rather resembled those high¨C level rich people! Another service assistant hurried over to stop her colleague, Janice, from arguing with the customer. ¡°Okay, okay, Sir. Let me serve you instead! Janice, you go serve thisdy!¡± ¡°You poor loser, I¡¯m watching you. Let¡¯s see if you can pay for your purchase!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you go pay for your own clothes first and then enjoy the show!¡± ¡°Honey, he¡¯s insulting me!¡± Carrie whined to Wayne. ¡°Waitress, the bill now!¡± Wayne took Carrie to handle the payment and then stood at the checkout counter, waiting to see Adrien make a fool of himself. Adrien browsed for a while, and the service assistant behind him was holding a dozen or so clothes and was getting impatient, but she didn¡¯t show it. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll pay and change into these clothes. And I¡¯ll throw away what I¡¯m wearing now.¡± When Adrien spoke, the service assistant hesitated and came to the checkout counter. Carrie rushed to Adrien¡¯s side and shouted, ¡°I suggest you call the police. This person doesn¡¯t have any money. He¡¯s just here to y with you!¡± The cashier nervously scanned the price tags and said, ¡°Sir, you have thirteen items. That¡¯ll be 31 thousand dors in total¡± Adrien handed over his Reburg Bank card, and the cashier saw it was just an ordinary debit card. She immediately became stern and said. ¡°Sir, you¡¯re disrupting public order by doing this! I will report you to the police.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to report me before you even swipe my card? Debit cards can¡¯t be swiped? Or is it that your little Fendi store¡¯s market value is higher than Reburg Bank¡¯s? Maybe your parentpany has a higher market value than Reburg Rank, but you? Please si swipe the card, waitress!¡± ¡°Hmph, what if your card doesn¡¯t work? The cashier at the counter picked up Adrien¡¯s debit card and swiped it. Adrien calmly entered his password. The receipt then came out! Everyone around was dumbfounded! ¡°That¡¯s impossible! How could you have over 30 thousand dors!¡± Carrie eximed in disbelief. Ignoring her. Adrien took out a few clothes from his purchase and walked into the dressing room alone to change. Soon, a handsome and decent young man appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. Adrien walked up to Carrie and whispered, ¡°There¡¯s a beautiful bag in the back that suits your skin tone very well. Go take a look and let your sugar dad¡­ Oh, no. Let your husband buy it for you.¡± Carrie was taken aback by Adrien¡¯s sudden change, but as soon as she heard his words, she couldn¡¯t help but want to see the bag. After all, Adrien had always had good taste, and she had really liked the few small gifts he had given her before, but things had changed since then. ¡°Honey. I¡¯m going to take a look inside!¡± Tll go with you. And I¡¯ll buy whatever you like!¡± Wayne¡¯s words greatly increased Carrie¡¯s confidence. The two of them went to the bag section, and Carrie spotted the bag that Adrien had rmended to her at a nce. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 ¡°Miss, this bag costs 40 thousand dors! You have great taste. The design and material of this bag are top¨Cnotch. Look at the color. It suits you very well. The designer of the clothes you just bought is the same as that of this bag. If you wear the clothes with this bag, you¡¯ll look even more youthful and beautiful. The service assistant¡¯s words made Carrie very happy. ¡°Honey, it¡¯s only 40 thousand dors. It¡¯s not expensive! Buy it for me now!¡± Carrie spoke to Wayne in a demanding tone. Wayne was very unhappy when he heard that. He didn¡¯t treat Carrie by keeping a mistress as some people did. He had only agreed to take her out for dinner and buy her some things because she had just graduated from college and had no job or savings. When he heard Carrie telling him that her ex¨C boyfriend had been harassing her, he felt protective of her. He never expected her to be so insatiable and demanding! And he was furious! Adrien calcted that he still needed to spend about 12 thousand dors toplete his mission, so he continued to browse around and picked up two pairs of shoes. As Adrien was paying, he suddenly heard a quarrel from the bag section. Adrien smirked triumphantly. ¡°You piece of trash! Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me for money to buy a bag! I¡¯ve already done you a favor by buying you this dress! You really have no shame!¡± Then came the sound of a p! Hearing the sound of the p. Adrien knew that it was definitely much harsher than the two ps he had received earlier. But he was determined to get revenge for those two ps in the future! ¡°I¡¯ll use this card to pay!¡± Adrien handed over the debit card he had just used to make the payment. ¡°Yes, Sir! We¡¯re sorry for offending you carlier. Please forgive us!¡± Adrien had just finished paying when Wayne came to the checkout counter with the clothes he had bought for Carrie. ¡°Return this dress for me right now! Process it immediately!¡± ¡°Honey, please don¡¯t do that! I don¡¯t want that bag anymore! Don¡¯t return it!¡± Adrien watched the drama show with great. satisfaction. ¡°You whore! You think I¡¯m a cash cow, huh? Do you think I¡¯m like that stupid boy? I just wanted to y with you! Remember that!¡± ¡°Honey! I don¡¯t want that bag anymore! I¡¯m sorry!¡± Carrie immediately took on a pitiful and regretful attitude. Adrien saw how cheap the person he used to like had be and lost his desire for revenge. As Adrien walked past Carrie with his clothes, he muttered quietly, ¡°How pathetic!¡± Carrie looked at Adrien¡¯s back with hatred, but more than that, she felt regret! As Adrien walked out of the Fendi store, he heard the sound he had been waiting for in his mind. ¡°Ding¡® The host haspleted the face¨Cpping mission and received a cash reward of three thousand dors. The money has been deposited to your ount in real¨Ctime!¡± ¡°System, is the money legal?¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Adrien asked nervously. ¡°Please rest assured, Host. All money, assets, task rewards, technology distribution, and lottery draws by the system are traceable andpletely legal. Please feel free to use them!¡± The system¡¯s words reassured Adrien, who then went to a restaurant to have a nice meal as a celebration! As Adrien walked out of the restaurant after finishing his meal, he saw a middle¨Caged man who seemed to be feeling unwell suddenly falling to the ground. The people and security guards around the middle¨Caged man immediately rushed over. ¡°Are you okay? Wake up!¡± The security guard was trying to wake the middle¨Caged man up. Adrien squeezed in and saw what had happened. He had previously worked part¨Ctime helping people as a ride and orientation counselor at the hospital and had been trained in professional cardiopulmonary resuscitation. ¡°Everyone, please step back and keep the air flowing!¡± Adrien instructed, pointing to the security guard. ¡°Call an ambnce immediately!¡± Adrien shouted at the middle¨Caged man and began to perform professional chestpressions and artificial respiration on the man when he saw that there was no response. Not long after, the middle¨Caged man suddenly regained consciousness! The people around breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Are you okay, sir?¡± Adrien asked. ¡°What happened just now?¡± the middle¨Caged man asked. ¡°You passed out. This young man saved you. I¡¯ve already called 911, and the ambnce will be here soon. I suggest you go to the hospital to get checked out!¡± the security guard exined. ¡°Oh! Thank you very much, young man! I have had heart trouble since birth. I felt suffocated just now, and then I lost consciousness!¡± ¡°Do you have any medication with you, sir?¡± Adrien asked with concern. ¡°I forgot to bring it. I tend to forget things easily since I am now getting old! What¡¯s your name, young man? I need to repay you!¡± The man tried to stand up while reaching for his pocket. ¡°Sir, you¡¯d better sit down. After a heart attack, you shouldn¡¯t move around casually, especially not stand up suddenly while sitting. I don¡¯t need you to repay me. I was just passing by. Wait for the ambnce here. I¡¯ve got things to do, so I¡¯m leaving now!¡± Adrien said and left with his things. The man watched Adrien¡¯s back and sighed that there were many good people in the world. ¡°Mr. Keller! What happened to you?¡± Suddenly, two people ran over from a distance and went to the middle¨Caged man¡¯s side. The security guard described what had happened, and one of them went to the surveince room to check the situation while the other stayed with the middle¨Caged man. Adrien arrived at the entrance of Reburg Center Mall. The security guard took a look at Adrien and suddenly remembered that Adrien was that wet young man. Adrien looked so different now. Although Adrien¡¯s hair was still a bit messy. Adrien had the appearance of a sessful young man. ¡°Ding! The Host has just rescued someone enthusiastically and received an additional reward from the system! The host is awarded a Porsche roadster. Please check your car!¡± After System finished speaking. Adrien felt something inexplicably appear in his pocket. He put his hand into his pocket and pulled out the key with the Porsche logo on it, feeling excited. ¡°System, where¡¯s the car? I got my driver¡¯s license a long time ago, and I worked as a driver for six months! But I never had a car to drive!¡± ¡°The car is located in parking space A008 on the B3 floor of Reburg Center Mall, Host!¡± Adrien held the car key in his right hand and his newly bought clothes from Fendi in his left hand, humming a song all the way to the B3 floor of the underground parking lot. Unexpectedly, he ran into Carrie and Wayne again. One was crying and begging for forgiveness, and the other was shouting. loudly! When Carrie was pleading with Wayne, she suddenly saw Adrien walking toward the Porsche roadster on the opposite side. ¡°Adrien! You liar! You tricked me!¡± Carrie shouted in Adrien¡¯s direction. Adrienpletely ignored Carrie. Such a woman was not worth his continued infatuation. He would move on from the past three years. With the system now, he was determined to be the richest man in the universe. Carrie was nothing to him now! Adrienposed himself and stood in front of his red Porsche roadster. It was a supercar, but he didn¡¯t know the model. Then, he finallyughed out loud, ¡°Let me see you, my dear honey! Muah!¡± Adrien leaned over and kissed the car twice! People passing by took a look and thought that Adrien was crazy. The car was good, and even the license te was unique. The young man was also dressed well, but was it necessary to act like that toward a car? Adrien acted like he was a fetishist. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Adrien didn¡¯t care how others looked at him. He circled around the Porsche roadster and loved the red color. He looked at the license te number, which was a unique number, RE12345. ¡°What an awesome license te number!¡± Adrienughed and took out the key and pressed it lightly. The car lights shed twice, and he quickly sat in the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Wow, I¡¯m also a car owner now!¡± Until now, Adrien seemed to still be in a dream. Everything came too suddenly! ¡°System! Are you really real?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Blessing from heaven!¡± Adrienughed excitedly. He inserted the key, turned it on, and started the car! Under Adrien¡¯s driving, the Porsche roadster rushed out with a swoosh. Driving on the streets of Reburg, Adrien felt for the first time that life could be beautiful. ¡°Adrien grew up in an orphanage. When he realized he was an orphan, he became hopeless about the future. So even though he was bullied and insulted since childhood, he chose to endure it until he met the first girl who approached him. actively in college, Carrie, but it turned out like that. ¡°Now, I. Adrien Higgins, am no longer the person I was! I mustpletely change myself!¡± After driving around for a while, Adrien returned home and parked his car downstairs. When he turned around and saw his old shabby rental apartment, it formed a sharp contrast with the bright red Porsche supercar. Back at home, he took a shower and hung up his newly bought clothes. Then he fell into a deep sleep. Adrien slept until the evening and ordered himself a super seafood tter that he had never dared to order before, enjoying it whilemunicating with the system. ¡°System, what functions do you have? Can you tell me in detail?* ¡°Host, the system is an almighty system with many functions. Host, close your eyes and feel the control panel in your mind.¡± Following the system¡¯s instructions, Adrien closed his eyes. Then a set of very advanced¨Clooking control panel appeared in his mind. In the clear picture, eight circr patterns revolved around the largest pattern in the center. Among them, thergest circr logo had the word ¡°Level¡± written on it, and there was also a row of small numbers below the level, which currently read 112/20000. The eight circr keys around it were marked with the words ¡°Blessing,¡± ¡°Raffles,¡± ¡°Skills,¡± ¡°Clock in,¡± ¡°Predictions,¡± ¡°Swap,¡± ¡°Curse,¡± and ¡°Technologies. However, now only the Predictions key was lit, and the other colorful keys were basically dim. In the upper right corner of the control area, there was a Square Exit key, and in the lower left corner was a Self¨Cprotection function key! ¡°System. I see that some of the keys are dim, meaning they are not activated. What does that mean? And what does the Level key in the middle mean?¡± The Level key means that as the host¡¯s expenses increase, the system level gradually increases from level 1, and with each. upgrade, the other keys around the system will be activated. After activation, the system will be more powerful and perfect. Currently, the host is at level 1, and the EXP is 112/20000 When the host¡¯s EXP umtes to 20,000, the system will enter an upgrade¡± ¡°I see¡® This system is simply perfect¡± Adrien looked at the eight keys around again and silently clicked on the Predictions key! T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Ding The host has activated the Predictions key, and the result will be refreshed soon!¡± This was Adrien¡¯s first time using the system function key, so he was full of expectations! ¡°Ding On March 22, 2034, the winning numbers for the national welfare lottery will be 03, 06, 15, 21, 23, 32, and 11, with a total bonus of 160 million dors, thergest jackpot in history! Please make good use of it. Host!¡± ¡°What the heck?! The system actually gave me the winning numbers, with a bonus of 160 million dors! I have to calcte¡­. ¡°Ding! The system version is too low. It is rmended that the host upgrade immediately tomorrow.¡± ¡°Understood, System!¡± Adrien was so excited that he almost didn¡¯t sleep all night. He barely fell asleep around 3 o¡¯clock in the morning. He slept until noon the next day, cleaned him up, put on the Fendi clothes he bought the day before, and nned to go out to buy the lottery ticket first and quickly spend money to upgrade the system! As soon as he walked downstairs, he suddenly found that there were many people around his red Porsche roadster in front. Adrien was puzzled. Why were so many people surrounding his car? Before he got close, he heard a woman say, ¡°Your child drew on someone¡¯s car like this. Can¡¯t you properly teach your child?!¡± ¡°I¡­ Misael! Look at what you¡¯ve done!¡± Hearing that, Adrien felt a thump in his heart. He had just gotten the Porsche roadster yesterday, and he cherished it like a treasure. Did the mischievous child graffiti on it? He hurried over, squeezed into the crowd, and was dumbfounded on the spot! ¡°Damn it! My car!!¡± The side door of the Porsche roadster was covered with flowers, clouds, and trees drawn by the child named Misael using water¨Cbased pens. ¡°The owner of the car is here!¡± someone said. ¡°Sir!! Is this your car?¡± a woman asked nervously. ¡°It¡¯s mine, and why does it look like this now?¡± Adrien was unhappy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m really sorry! My child is too young. I didn¡¯t watch him carefully, and he drew on your car! How much will it cost to repair it? We¡¯llpensate you!¡± the woman said nervously.. ¡°This car costs over one hundred thousand dors. You might not be able to afford it even if you sell your house!¡± A man who was watching themotion remarked. ¡°What?! It¡¯s that expensive?!¡± The woman was stunned upon hearing that. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s a Porsche roadster! It¡¯s rare to see it on the road. But why did you park such a nice car here?¡± The woman was stunned again. Then she reached out and grabbed her child, pinched his neck tightly, and pressed hard. The child fell to his knees in front of Adrien and started crying loudly out of fear.. Adrien was speechless. He looked at the child in front of him. Misael was probably three or four years old. And the fact that the mother was still waiting there without running away showed that she had enough sense of responsibility Adrien was not an overbearing person. After seeing that scene, he felt much less angry. ¡°What are you doing? Even if your child made a mistake, you can¡¯t make him kneel in front of me!¡± ¡°Waahh!! Mommy, please don¡¯t hit me anymore!¡± Misael cried miserably as the woman gave him a series of ps on his buttocks. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 ¡°Waahh!! Mommy, please don¡¯t hit me anymore!¡± Misael cried miserably as the woman gave him a series of ps on his buttocks. ¡°How could you?! Do you know how big of a problem you¡¯ve caused? This car is so expensive. Why can¡¯t you be more responsible!¡± The woman¡¯s screams scared Misael into silence and tears. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, sir. How should wepensate you? It¡¯s my fault. I was negligent with my child. I¡¯m really sorry!¡± The woman apologized while also being frightened. Adrien felt helpless. Everyone who lived there was poor. How could he force a poor person to sell their house to pay for his car¡¯s repair costs? That would be like pushing someone to death. Adrien asked in his mind. ¡°System, does this car have insurance?¡± ¡°All the things that the system gives to the host areplete sets. The insurance is of the highest level!¡± Adrien walked over to Misael, helped him up, and said. ¡°Misael, your parents work hard to raise you. You can¡¯t just destroy other people¡¯s property. Do you understand?¡± ¡°I understand now. Sir, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Misael apologized tearfully to Adrien. ¡°If you¡¯re still not satisfied, you can beat Misael up, but don¡¯t kill him!¡± the woman said with a hint of sorrow. ¡°What are you talking about? The child made a mistake, so teach him a lesson, and that¡¯s enough. As long as he remembers and doesn¡¯t make the same mistake again in the future, it will be fine. What¡¯s the point of hitting him? Even if you hit him, he might not learn anything!¡± ¡°Right, you¡¯re right. How much should I give you?¡± Adrien looked at the drawings on the car and then at the pen in Misael¡¯s hand. ¡°Misael, you drew on my car and ruined it. As punishment, I will use this pen in your hand to draw on your face the blue sky and white clouds that you drew on my car. Do you agree?¡± Adrien said gently. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Misael looked confused and turned to his mother for guidance. The woman repeatedly nodded her head, and then Misael handed the pen to Adrien. Adrien took the pen and started drawing on Misael¡¯s face. After a while, Misael¡¯s face was covered with messy drawings, which made everyone around them laugh. Misael wanted to see himself, so Adrien picked Misael up and let Misael see himself from the car window. ¡°It looks really ugly!¡± ¡°So you can¡¯t do this again in the future, okay?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll be good from now on!¡± ¡°Good. Now go home with your mom.¡± Adrien¡¯s words surprised the woman and the people watching. ¡°You¡¯re just letting her go like that when they did this to your car?¡± A passerby asked. The child made a mistake, and I have punished him. I don¡¯t know how much it will cost to repair my car, but I can¡¯t make things difficult for a mother. This is enough Don¡¯t surround us anymore. I have things to do and need to leave!¡± ¡°You you¡¯re such a good person! Thank you! The woman and Misael bowed to Adrien, who waved his hand and drove away As Adrien left the residential area, he looked at the damage to his car again and felt heartbroken. He took out his phone and called the dealership. After learning that it could be repaired, he made an appointment at three o¡¯clock in the afternoon and then went to look for the lottery store! On the way, Adrien searched for the store. Suddenly, the system notification sound popped up again in his mind! ¡°Ding, the host is considerate in handling matters and has won one Raffle! Would the host like to Raffle now?¡± Hearing the system¡¯s words, Adrien felt much more psychologically bnced! ¡°Not now! Later!¡± The most important thing now was not the Rattle or repairing the car but buying lottery tickets and upgrading the system at the same time! Adrien arrived at a lottery store on Reburg Central Avenue. He handed over a set of numbers that he had written down. ¡°Sir. I want the number with a two hundred times multiplier! Take a good look, and don¡¯t get the wrong numbers!¡± ¡°Two hundred times? Young man, you¡¯re really confident, the man chuckled and shook his head, not believing that Adrien could win. ¡°I¡¯m really luckytely!¡± Adrien said. After getting the lottery ticket, he put it in his phone case and left! Once outside the lottery store, Adrien took out the lottery ticket and looked at it carefully for a long time. He still couldn¡¯t figure out what was so special about his ticket. He then nced at his phone, which he had bought second¨Chand four years ago when he just started college. The camera sucked. It was time to upgrade! Adrien stepped on the gas pedal and arrived at a nearby shopping mall. He walked into ¡°Hello, sir. What would you like to see?¡± ¡°I want to buy a new phone. What are the prices?¡± They range from over nine hundred dors to more than 17 hundred dors.¡± ¡°Give me the one that costs 17 hundred ¡°Okay, sir. Please wait a moment.¡± Shortly after, Adrien put the lottery tic phone store. ls and select a tablet for me. Together, they should be less than 3,000 dors!¡± ount bnce, which was still more thorth 160 million dors in his newly purchased phone case. He checked his 110 dors. He then went to the car store. Adrien was not familiar with the car store. He just parked his car outside and made a phone call. Then, a customer service representative came to take his car key. Before leaving, Adrien asked about the repair cost, but the other party said it was covered by insurance, so Adrien didn¡¯t need to pay anything. They would contact him when the car was fixed. Adrien took his new phone and tablet and returned to his house in the taxi. Suddenly, his phone rang, and Adrien was not used to it! ¡°Hello¡± ¡°Hey, Adrien¡® What have you been up totely? It was Kamron Frost, Adrien¡¯s college buddy. ¡°I haven¡¯t been doing much these days. Just staying at home.¡± ¡°Are you working today? If you¡¯re free,e out for dinner tonight! Let¡¯s go to that restaurant outside our college! I just got paid toy. I¡¯ll treat our dorm mates to a meal¡® You have toe! It¡¯s been a long time since the four of us got together?¡± Kamron said ¡°No problem! What time?¡± asked Adrien. ¡°6:30 pm. See you tonight!¡± replied Kamron.. ¡°After hanging up the phone, Adrien felt very happy. During his four years of college, besides his three roommates who never looked down on him and always helped him, he had almost no other friends. Adrien always kept the friendship in mind, and if he ever became sessful in the future, he would definitely help his three buddies out! ¡°System! You mentioned that there was one chance for a Raffle before! What is that?¡± Adrien asked. ¡°The host handles things very tactfully and has received an extra Raffle from the system as a reward. Would the host like to Raffle now?¡± the system replied. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 ¡°Raffle now!¡± Adrien immediately made his choice. Then, six gift boxes appeared in his mind, each with a different color and pattern. The first one was a few sheets of paper, the second was a hammer, the third was a ss of water, the fourth was a square, the fifth was a pattern looked like fruit, and thest one was in a shape of pants. ¡°What are these, System?¡± Adrien asked. ¡°Host, the system cannot answer that. This is a Raffle, and whatever you get is what you get!¡± replied the system. Adrien understood the rules. It was a Raffle, and he had been very lucky recently, even winning something from the system. So, he would randomly choose one of the gift boxes, thinking that any of them would be great! He closed his eyes and clicked on one of the boxes. He happened to choose the first one, which had the appearance of several sheets of paper. ¡°Ding! Congrattions to the host for obtaining 79% of the shares in Corestar Group! The share transfer is in progress. Please wait¡­ The transfer isplete! Please check the contract file!¡± said the system. As soon as the system finished speaking, Adrien felt like a folder suddenly appeared in his hand. He opened the folder and found all the information about Corestar Group, including an introduction to thepany, its global business scope, financial statements, and details about the people involved. Adrien majored in finance in college, which was not rted to Corestar Group at all. However, it did not affect Adrien¡¯s ns for his ownpany! At present, he nned to n nothing. Adrien saw from Corestar Group¡¯s financial statements that its annual profit was approximately from 30 million to 114 million dors and was very stable. The company¡¯s main businesses were hotels, tourism, and export trade, as well as amusement parks and somend development projects. With a simple understanding of Corestar Group, Adrien did not n to manipte or provide advice on how thepany should operate. After all, thepany was already running smoothly, and he did not want to make things worse by interfering. Lilianne Olson was sitting in the general manager¡¯s office of Corestar Group headquarters, sorting out the day¡¯s work materials, when suddenly her secretary rushed in. ¡°Ms. Olson! Something big has happened!¡± the secretary eximed, Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Looking at Celia in front of her, Lilianne felt somewhat speechless. ¡°Celia, we¡¯ve been working together for six years. Why are you still so flustered when handling matters?¡± ¡°Ms. Olson, it¡¯s really serious this time. A mystery billionaire bought 79% of our total shares in one go. He is now thergest shareholder and chairman of Corestar Group!¡± Celia said. ¡°What?¡± What about the other shareholders? Lilianne asked ¡°They had gradually sold theirpany stocks earlier. Now, with your shares and a few other shareholders, you barely hold a 6% stake. Another 15% is still circting in the stock market! Celia replied. Hearing Celia¡¯s report. Lilianne also felt a little panicked Corestar Group had been established for decades, founded by Rnd Olson, Lilianne¡¯s father, and his friends. After taking over the huge company alone, Lilianne did not expect that it could be taken away in an instant by someone else! She found it hard to ept! ¡°Mi Olson, here is the new owner¡¯s contact information and profile!¡± Celia handed Liliarinic a piece of paper that had Adrien¡¯s introduction on it. However, there was no information about his family, work experience, or assets. ¡°He¡¯s 22 years old! He¡¯s only 22 years old! Is he from some big family or what?¡± Lilianne was shocked! ¡°Celia, you can go out first. I¡¯ll contact¡­ um, the new owner, and see what¡¯s going on!¡± Lilianne said. Yes, Ms. Olson!¡± Hesitating for a long time, Lilianne finally made the call. ¡°Hello? Who¡¯s this?¡± Adrien looked at the unfamiliar caller and pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello, Mr. Higgins. This is Lilianne Olson, the general manager of Corestar Group. I just received news that you purchased 79% of ourpany¡¯s shares, so I wanted to get to know you and discuss when would be a good time for you to visit Corestar Group,¡± ¡°Oh. It¡¯s toote today, and I might have something to do tomorrow. Saturday is your day off, so how about next week?¡± ¡°Okay. Mr. Higgins. Can I add you on WhatsApp? You can notify me on WhatsApp before youe next week, and I can arrange everything in advance. It will also be convenient for us to report to you in the future!¡± ¡°Sure, you already have my phone number.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins. Thank you! See you next week!¡± Adrien hung up the phone and felt a bit puzzled. He still wasn¡¯t used to his new role as a boss. And he was surprised that he had to pay a visit so soon! Waiting for Adrien to hang up, Lilianne finally dared to hang up as well. Taking a deep breath, she heard Adrien¡¯s attitude and tone, which seemed like he was really a young man who was easy to talk to. Looking at the time on his phone, Adrien realized it was almost 6 pm. He needed to leave as he had ns to meet with his three roommates! Wearing his new clothes, Adrien called for a car and went to the restaurant near the north gate of Reburg University. As soon as he entered the restaurant, Kamron greeted him. ¡°Here, Adrien!¡± Gilberto Cooper also turned around and looked at Adrien approaching them. He patted Adrien on the shoulder and smiled. ¡°What the hell, Adrien! This outfit! It¡¯s Fendi! And it¡¯s not fake! It costs several thousands of dors! What¡¯s going on with you??¡± Gilberto was shocked! ¡°Yeah, Adrien! What¡¯s with this outfit and the new phone? Did you get picked up by a rich woman or something?¡± Kamron asked, looking at Adrien¡¯s phone. ¡°Nothing like that! I just set myself free!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on, man? I heard that Carrie Archer is with an old man now! She even posted it on her Instagram!¡± Gilberto said. ¡°Gilberto, why are you bringing that up?¡± Kamron winked at Gilberto. Gilberto ignored Kamron and continued. ¡°It¡¯s not worth it. You¡¯ve been working hard for three years, from sophomore year to senior year. We all saw how hard it was for you. You spent your money on her, but she never took you seriously! You can only live well if you leave her!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I also think so I ended things with her. I feel free now. I¡¯ve been working hard these past few years and spent all my money on her I need to treat myself better with the money I have left. And Kamron, today is my treat! In the past four years, you guys have taken care of me. If I be sessful and wealthy in the future, I won¡¯t forget you guys! Where¡¯s Kolten?** Kamron wanted to speak, but Adrien pressed him down with his hand when he heard that Adrien would pay for everything. ¡°Kolten is stuck in traffic! He¡¯ll be here soon!¡± Gilberto showed them a message on WhatsApp. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Spoke of the devil and he woulde. At that very moment, Kolten rushed over to the three of them with his bag. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯mte! I was stuck at work. The damn director made me stay half an hourte without overtime pay. It¡¯s really annoying!¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s order food now! Excuse me!¡± Adrien called the waiter in a loud voice. ¡°Whoa, Adrien, why are you dressed like that? What¡¯s going on? You used to be frugal and save every penny. Now you¡¯re wearing Fendi?¡± Kolten pushed up his sses in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s a long story!¡± Adrienughed. ¡°Let¡¯s order some food!¡± Adrien loved drinking and chatting with his three friends because it made him feel so real. During their conversation, he learned that none of them were living their ideal lives. Kolten became a designer and was forced to work overtime every day, while receiving less¨Cthan¨C adequatepensation. Kamron took some time off to travel before working at his parents¡®panyst month. He had just gotten paid for the first time today and treated his friends to dinner. Gilberto became a salesperson at a Mercedes¨CBenz dealership. ¡°What about you, Adrien? What are your ns for the future?¡± ¡°Maybe I¡¯ll start apany, have fun, and enjoy life. I was just bragging. But honestly, I have no idea what I want to do!¡± ¡°Oh, crap. I actually believed you for a second! But you were just talking big!¡± They chatted until 9:30 pm when suddenly a news report on TV caught everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°We just received a piece of stunning news! A person in our city has just won the jackpot of 200 lottery tickets and will receive more than 150 million dors! This is thergest prize ever nationwide, and even around the world!¡± Adrien was smitten with the voice of the TV host. ¡°What the hell! Did you guys hear that? Another millionaire was born in Reburg!¡± Kolten eximed. ¡°Why bother to care about that? You are not the lucky dog! Let¡¯s eat and drink up! If you guys want to buy cars in the future, don¡¯t forget toe to me! The ce I work has every model of Mercedes¨C Benz! You guys can help me reach. sales quota too!¡± Gilberto said happily. my Adrien left the table halfway through and paid the bill at the front desk. The meal cost 110 dors, leaving him with just a few dozen for a taxi ride home. They talked until after 11 pm before going home. Adrien felt reluctant to leave his college buddies, as he always felt like he saw them less and less often as they entered society. Sometimes they would only be able to see each other once every three or five years! Adrien checked his bnce as he went home and found he had only 30 cents left. Without hesitation, he bought a bottle of water. Spending all his money would upgrade the system! Watching the control panel in his mind go from level 1 to level 2, he saw that apart from the Prediction Key, the Blessing Key also lit up again. ¡°Ding! The system has been sessfully upgraded to level 2, and the host will receive a cash reward of 150 thousand dors!¡± ¡°Oh my! It increases by fifty times from level 2 to level 3! That means I¡¯ll receive seven million dors from level 3 to level 4, right?¡± The system remained silent¡­. Adrien went home excitedly and got washed up. Then, he took out the lottery that was worth 150 million dors! Heughed with his mouth wide open, but he made no voice! Maybe due to the alcohol, Adrien still fell asleep soon, even though he had just won a jackpot. He didn¡¯t wake up until the next morning and got up when the sunlight ring through the window became too much to bear. After quickly washing up and disguising himself with his shabby clothes, a mask, and a hat, Adrien took a cab to the lottery center of Reburg with his backpack. Inside the lottery center, an employee eximed, ¡°Oh my god, sir! You won the lottery with the maximum sum in global history! Can I take a photo with you?¡± ¡°Sorry, please redeem it for me first, Adrien refused. The employee was not upset by the refusal. They brought out a calctor and calcted the amount that Adrien won from the jackpot. ¡°Sir, each winning ticket is worth 750 thousand dors! After the tax, each ticket is worth 600 thousand dors. As you bought 200 tickets, your total winnings are 120 million dors! We have some charity projects for welfare and education. Would you like to contribute?¡± ¡°Give me 114 million dors and donate the remaining 6 million dors to the *onal project. Adrien made a quick decision. After the employee processed the procedures, Adrien took the check for more than 114 million dors and quickly. left the lottery center. On the way to the bank, Adrien had a secret look at the check. It was issued by the Treasury Bank, which was one of thergest banks in the country. Therefore, he needed to go to the headquarters of the bank to open an ount and deposit the money. Since the bank was located near the lottery center, Adrien walked in, exined his purpose to the employee, and sat down to wait for his turn. Not long after, it was Adrien¡¯s turn. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. The bank teller asked, ¡°Hello, what can you? do ¡°I want to open an ount and deposit some money,¡± Adrien replied. ¡°Sir, please go to the automatic teller machine next door, and the manager will help you!¡± ¡°I want to deposit a check,¡± Adrien said. ¡°Oh, please give me the check,¡± the bank teller casually took Adrien¡¯s check. nced at the amount on it, and was suddenly stunned. ¡°Sir! Is this¡­ your check?¡± ¡°Of course! Whose else could it be?¡± Adrien replied. ¡°Please wait for a moment. I will ask our president to serve you!¡± ¡°Uh? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary¡± Adrien didn¡¯t care who served him. He just wanted them to process his request as soon as possible. Two minutester, the bank president ran over. ¡°Hello, Mr. Higgins. I am the bank president, Hester West. It¡¯s my pleasure to serve you. Since your deposit amount is huge, we have specially opened a ck card for you! From now on, you are the most distinguished customer of our bank!¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Adrien replied. Hester operated theputer for a while and kept ncing at Adrien in secret. She wondered, ¡°How can this guy, wearing ragged clothes, be so wealthy? Did he steal the check? But if a check for such a large amount of money was lost, it would certainly be reported.¡± ¡°Sir, we need to fill in your work address. Can you tell me about it?¡± Hester tentatively asked. ¡°Okay, then write down Corestar Group,¡± Adrien said. ¡°Corestar Group???¡± Yep, any problems?¡± ¡°May I ask what your position is in thepany?¡± ¡°Do you really need so many details?¡± Adrien asked in a slightly displeased tone. ¡°Yes, sir. Can you tell me your position?¡± ¡°CEO.¡± ¡°Ah? Sir, are you joking? This position needs to be verified!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Hester was shocked to learn that Adrien was the CEO of Corestar Group. How could such a young person be the owner of the old enterprise in Reburg?! However, Adrien agreed to verify his identity. Hester immediately activated the backend verification mode. A little whileter, the internal line of the general manager¡¯s office of Corestar Group rang ¡°Hello, this is the General Manager¡¯s office. I¡¯m the assistant, Celia!¡± ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Hester West, president of Treasury Bank in Reburg. I¡¯m calling to verify the identity of a person who ims to be the general manager or shareholder of Corestar Group,¡± ¡°Who are you referring to?¡± The customer¡¯s name is Adrien Higgins.¡± ¡°What? Mr. Higgins?!¡± ¡°Yes, can you tell me what position he holds in yourpany?¡± ¡°He is our boss! Make sure you receive him properly! He holds a 79% stake in thepany!!!¡± Hester was shocked to hear the answer! As a person who had been engaged in the financial circle for many years, she wa clear about what 79% of shares stood for! Hanging up the phone, Hester hastilypleted the transaction and personally handed Adrien his newly opened card. ¡°Mr. Higgins, I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t know it was you! Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused. Would you like to take a look at our high¨Cyield financial products?¡± ¡°Maybe another time. I need to get changed and pick up my car.¡± Judging from Hester¡¯s attitude. Adrien realized that she must have learned about his identity from Corestar Group. ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins. Can I add you on WhatsApp? You can contact me anytime if you have any questions about finance. investment, or loans!¡± ¡°Sure, you can!¡± Hester watched as Adrien left the bank, marveling at how someone so young could already be in charge of an old local enterprise worth billions in market value. Afterpleting his business at the bank. Adrien received a call from the 45 dealership. ¡°Hello, sir. Your Porsche 918 has been repaired and is ready for pickup anytime!¡± ¡°Great, I¡¯ll be there right away!¡± When he arrived at the dealership, the receptionist was shocked at his appearance. ¡°Sir, what happened to you today? Why are you dressed like that?¡± the receptionist asked, pointing at Adrien¡¯s clothes while other customers looked over with curious eyes. ¡°Oh, uh I just finished filming a TV show and didn¡¯t have time to change my clothes, I came here directly after answering your call¡± Adnen exined calmly. I see. Here is your car key, sir. Let me take you to have a look at your car. There are only two of them in Reburg, and the other one as a lower end gray version Yours is the top¨Cof¨Cthe¨Cline model!¡± the receptionist said in atement. ¡°So this is Porsche 918, Adrien said, realizing for the first time that he had won a luxury car worth millions of dors from the system WedT¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Sir, don¡¯t you know what type of car you bought? Didn¡¯t anyone exin it to you when you purchased it?¡± ¡°Well, I just thought it looked nice and bought it on a whim. I didn¡¯t ask too many questions. I was busy that day, so I just left. after paying!¡± ¡°I see.¡± As he approached his car, Adrien saw that it was almost brand new, without any scratches or signs of wear and tear. ¡°My baby!!¡± eximed Adrien as he kissed his car and pressed the key to unlock it. ¡°I¡¯m just driving off now! Thank you!¡± The receptionist looked at Adrien¡¯s car fading away, thinking who the hell the person was. She couldn¡¯t remember such a star in showbiz at all! As Adrien pulled his car into the Reburg Center Mall, he saw two people doing a live stream. It seemed that they werementing on the spending habits and car ownership levels of wealthy people in the City. They were both surprised when they saw Adrien¡¯s Porsche 918, and the viewers who were watching the live stream were also shocked. ¡°Oh my goodness! This guy has a red Porsche 918! I must be dreaming!!!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not dreaming! There are only two of them in the whole city. The other one belongs to the father of my cousin¡¯s boyfriend, who is a big boss. This one was heard to be bought by an unknown rich guy!¡± ¡°Can you move closer to show us a clearer view?¡± one viewer asked. Even the hosts, Big Brain and Little Muddle, were stunned to see the car. When Adrien got out of his car, the live stream exploded withments! ¡°Damn! Are rich people so low¨Ckey? Look at his clothes! There is a hole under his arm!¡± one viewer commented. ¡°And his hat is full of dirt!¡± ¡°This is vintage! The more worn out they are, the more expensive they be! In foreign countries, the most expensive jeans are yellow¨Cgray after being worn out, and they can stand up on their own,¡± another viewer exined. ¡°Oh, please! It¡¯s disgusting! Can¡¯t imagine his socks¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m having my afternoon tea! Can you talk about something else?!¡± Thousands ofizens in the live stream started to judge Adrien¡¯s outfit! At the moment, Big Brain approached Adrien with his phone. ¡°Excuse me, can I interview you?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Adrien was startled by the sudden approach but then noticed himself on the phone screen. He immediately became cold¨Cfaced because he hated being interviewed and watched by unknown, unprofessional tforms with nonsensical hosts who disrupted the thinking of young people. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not avable,¡± Adrien said before walking away. The viewers in the live stream were outraged by his attitude. ¡°He¡¯s so arrogant! Who does he think he is?¡± ¡°If you have a 918, you can also be as arrogant as him!¡± ¡°Maybe he¡¯s just a driver!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so! Would you let your driver wear such dirty clothes and drive your luxury car?¡± ¡°He looks more like a repairman to me!¡± ¡°I second that!¡± ¡°I second that!¡± The viewers suggested that Big Brain and Little Muddle follow Adrien to see what he was doing at such a high¨Cend shopping mall. Unaware of the people following him. Adrien walked into the Gi store with his phone in hand. ¡°Sir, may I help you?¡± ¡°I want to buy some clothes and change out of what I¡¯m wearing now. These are for a TV show, Adrien exined, using the same excuse he used at the dealership. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 ¡°Sir, please follow me.¡± As the clerk of the Gi heard what Adrien said, he saw the key of the Porsche in Adrien¡¯s hand, and he was sure that Adrien might be an unknown star, so he took Adrien to the men¡¯s clothing area. Outside the door, when Little Muddle and Big Brain saw Adrien go in, they turned the phone camera to the door of the Gi shop and waited. In the live stream, the audience continued to discuss it. ¡°Maybe he is the owner of the car. He has been in there for a while, and he must be shopping. If he is poor, how can he afford Gi?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Maybe he is penniless, but he likes to go to luxury stores.¡± ¡°Are you talking about yourself?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± you ¡°It¡¯s easy. Big Brain, when hees out, you go into the store and ask with the live stream on. Little Muddle, continue to follow him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a detective game. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious? He wears ragged clothes, but he drives a car worth more than 1.5 million dors.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± About twenty minutester, Adrien came out dressed in the newly bought Gi. He looked radiant and handsome, attracting girls around him. ¡°Clothes make the man. If I wear these clothes, I¡¯ll be more handsome than him.¡± Someone in the live stream was jealous. ¡°Big Brain, he is out! Go in and ask!¡± When Adrien saw Big Brain and Little Muddle outside the Gi store, he felt that he had been followed, and he left with the clothes. Big Brain entered the store quickly. ¡°Sir, your phone?¡± The clerk who had just received Adrien immediately became alert. ¡°Well, we are doing a program. That person is a star of our program. How much did he spend in your store just now?¡± ¡°He has bought more than ten clothes and essories, a total of 100 thousand dors. Do you have other stars in your program? We wee them to our store¡­¡± Before the clerk finished his words, Big Brain turned around and left. People in the live stream knew what was going on. ¡°Look, he is rich. He can buy clothes at will worth 100 thousand dors! It¡¯s almost enough to buy a house!¡± ¡°The gap between us is so big. I only earn two thousand dors a month¡± ¡°That¡¯s not bad. I only earn 12 hundred dors.¡± ¡°Big Brain, where is Adrien? Follow him!¡± At the request of people in the live stream, Big Brain continued to follow Adrien secretly. Wed, After shopping for a while, Adrien bought some daily goods, skin care products, and other things. Because he tried every means to please Carrie in the past, he had done research on skin care products. It was not about the ingredients of the cosmetics, but the price. In the past, Carrie always told him that some of her ssmates had bought the cosmetics of La Mer and Helena Rubinstein Adrien bought all the goods he had known before. He didn¡¯t care whether it was for men or women. In his opinion, men could use it if women could. ¡°Sir, the skin essence of La Mer and these are 3, 500 dors in total.¡± ¡°No problem¡± ¡°Sir, this set of Helena Rubinstein is 11 hundred dors in total¡± ¡°Can I pay by charge?¡± ¡°Sir, this set of skin essence and facial cream of La Prairie cost seven thousand dors in total¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Okay¡± After shopping for a while. Adrien was exhausted. He looked at the time on his mobile phone and found that only twenty minutes had passed. He admired those people who could go shopping for a whole day. ¡°Sir, do you want to buy a house? It¡¯s the best house in Reburg. Wonders Apartment.¡± A clerk asked as she looked at Adrien, who was wearing Gi and carrying many luxury cosmetics. ¡°Yes. I need a house!¡± Since Adrien won the lottery, he had been thinking about buying a better house. Whether he would continue to stay in Reburg in the future, he had to change to a better house. ¡°Sir, please take a seat. I¡¯m the clerk of Wonders Apartment. You can call me Moira. Let me give you a brief introduction to the house¡± ¡°Okay, tell me, how much and howrge is it?¡± ¡°Wonders Apartment is located on the financial street in Economy Block of Reburg.

When Big Brain and Liule Muddle saw that Adrien had been in the sales booth for a long time, they guessed that Adrien was buying a house inside. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 ¡°He spent thousands of dors on clothes and cosmetics. Isn¡¯t it normal for him to buy a house in Wonders Apartment?¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Do you know the housing price of Wonders Apartment? The cheapest floor is priced at more than 13 thousand dors for per square feet, and each house is more than 10 thousand square feet. In other words, the cheapest house there is nearly 15 million dors. Reburg is not Sunrise City, Trified, or Cetrfild, but just a small city.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, either. I think he is tired after shopping, so he just goes to the sales office to have a rest.¡± Big Brain and Little Muddle also joined the discussion when they saw the people in the live stream chatting. Adrien sat on the chair with his eyes closed for rest, but in fact, he wasmunicating with System. ¡°System, can I upgrade System by buying a house?¡± ¡°No, only when your consumption is within the range of the money given by System, and you use your bank card in Reburg Bank, System will be upgraded. Besides, don¡¯t try to transfer the money from your bank card of Treasury Bank to the bank card in Reburg. In that case, System will clear the transferred money.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Sir, are you tired? Let me give you a massage.¡± When Adrien heard the words and opened his eyes, he saw Moira open her hands and look at him. ¡°No! Don¡¯t touch me! Have you got the contract?¡± ¡°Sir, please follow me to the financial office. I¡¯ll help you carry these things.¡± Moira took the clothes and cosmetics that Adrien bought and walked in front, and Adrien followed her into the financial office. They signed the contract. With the garage, it was 20 million dors in total. After Adrien paid, Moira gave the key to Adrien. ¡°Sir, this is your key.¡± ¡°Well, you can call me Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins, you can choose a time to check the house, and professional workers will take you there. Contact me before you go there, and I will apany you. We will change the fingerprint lock for you when you go to check the house. There are three cards, the key cards of your house and your garage, and the exclusive VIP card of the club. When do you have time to check the house?¡± Moira rubbed her hands and asked tteringly. ¡°I have time now. How about you?¡± Adrien was full of expectations. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll call them right now. Please wait a moment.¡± A few minutester, Moira arranged everything. Adrien asked, ¡°I¡¯ll drive there. How about you?¡± Tll call a taxi.¡° ¡°I¡¯ll take you there. Don¡¯t take a taxi. It¡¯s a waste of time.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Higgins.¡± After the two of them walked out of the sales office, Adrien felt a stomachache and said, ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯m going to the bathroom¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins¡± As soon as Adrien left, Little Muddle and Big Brain came over. As Moira vigntly looked at the two holding mobile phones and on the live stream, she asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Did that man buy a house? Why do you help him carry things?¡± ¡°Of course, he is my biggest client. He bought a house worth about 20 million dors. Who are you? Why do you ask this?¡± When Little Muddle and Big Brain heard these words, they were stunned, and the people in the live stream began to discuss again. ¡°Why did he wear ragged clothes just now? I thought he was poor, but he turned out to be one of the richest in Reburg!¡± ¡°Not only you but the two live streamers were also fooled. They thought that man was nobody, but he is a big shot!¡± When Adrien came out of the bathroom, Big Brain and Little Muddle had left.. It was the first time that Moira sat in a Porsche 918. Feeling excited, she took selfies and posted photos on WhatsApp. She also took videos as she sent messages to her friends on WhatsApp. More than ten minutester, they arrived at Wonders Apartment. Outside the gate, the manager and the captain of security guards weed Adrien warmly. Adrien was not used to being surrounded by people, and he felt a little embarrassed. After Adrien found the garage he had bought and parked the car, he went to the 23rd floor of building 3. His hands. trembled slightly because he had a home and a sense of security. When Adrien pushed the door open, he saw a porch for changing shoes. The dark gray floor tiles made the whole room look modern. As Adrien walked inside, he saw arge living room of nearly two thousand square feet. The color of all the furniture was modern light gray, but the room wouldn¡¯t look old and dark. There were two kitchens in the house. Adrien walked as he looked around. There were three main bedrooms, four guest bedrooms, a children¡¯s room, and a nanny room. Besides, there was a study, a cloakroom, and four bathrooms. Adrien was very satisfied. ¡°Mr. Higgins, the locksmith is here. Please enter your fingerprints, The manager said. ¡°Okay.¡± After ten minutes, Adrieny on the bed alone, and the other people had left. ¡°Host, are you going to upgrade System today?¡± ¡°System, there are two function keys that I haven¡¯t used since I upgraded yesterday. Can I use them twice if I continue to upgrade today?¡± ¡°Yes, Host. Every time you upgrade, you can use every key once. The System Control Panel will upgrade when you upgrade to level nine.¡± ¡°System, I upgraded from level one to level two yesterday, and then the Projections and Blessing in the control panel lit up. Can I use them now?¡± ¡°Ding! Please operate by yourself, Host.¡± With his eyes closed, Adrien looked at the two lit keys and gently pressed Blessing. He had known what the Projections key was for, but he didn¡¯t know the Blessing key. ¡°Ding! Congrattions, Host. You have obtained the Never Forget skill. Please use this skill properly in life, and it will bring unexpected great benefits¡± ¡°Awesome! If I had this ability when I was in school, wouldn¡¯t I get full marks in every subject?¡± After receiving the Blessing from System, Adrien suddenly felt his brain cool, and then it went back to normal. In order to test whether the skill was real. Adrien opened an E¨Cbook on his phone. After taking a nce at it, he remembered the content quickly. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 ¡°It¡¯s amazing! It¡¯s so easy for me to learn things in the future. System, I¡¯m going to use Projections.¡± Adrien had much higher expectations for Projections than Blessing because Projections could bring him direct benefits. ¡°The system is starting Projections. Please wait a moment. It¡¯s about to be refreshed!¡± ¡°Ding! The system predicted that on April 4th, 2034, the Orchard Apartment, which is on 3rd Street, 4th Street, and 5th Street of Cutural Avenue in Education Block, will be demolished. Host, please seize the opportunity.¡± When Adrien heard the result, he immediately took out his phone to record the System prediction. He checked the map and found that the Orchard Apartment had been established for almost forty years, and no one had lived there for a long time. Besides, the area was veryrge.. Adrien didn¡¯t learn much about the demolition, but his employees should know about it. He remembered that Corestar Group had projects for the development of thend.. Adrien checked the time. It was 3:45 in the afternoon, and it was not time to get off work.. After Adrien checked the call list of yesterday, he found Lilianne¡¯s phone number and dialed it quickly. Quickly, the phone was connected. ¡°This is Celia, Ms. Olson¡¯s assistant. She is in a meeting. What can I do for you?¡± When Adrien heard this, he realized that Lilianne had forgotten to save his phone number. ¡°I¡¯m Adrien Higgins. I have something urgent to tell Lilianne ¡°Mr. Higgins, I¡¯m going to find Ms. Olson right now. Please wait a moment.¡± With Lilianne¡¯s phone, Celia ran from the general manager¡¯s office to the meeting room quickly. It took her less than ten seconds. ¡°Bang!¡± The door of the meeting room was pushed open by Celia. After Lilianne just announced that thepany had been acquired, and the new boss was very rich, all the vice presidents, assistants, executive workers, and department managers present were shocked by Celia. Wearing high heels, Celia rushed to Lilianne and whispered, ¡°Ms. Olson. Mr. Higgins called you for something urgent!¡± When Lilianne heard that it was a call from Adrien, she quickly waved her hand to the people, indicating them to be quiet. After that, she pointed at the phone and walked out of the meeting room. ¡°Mr. Higgins, I¡¯m Lilianne.¡± ¡°Lilianne, I have something urgent and need your help.¡± ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Lilianne asked curiously. Mr. Higgins was young and seemed to be inexperienced. What would he need? ¡°What kind ofnd business does ourpany do?¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins, Corestar Group has been seizing thend and then selling it to other real estate companies. Although the profit. is not as high as that of the real estatepany, it is quite a lot.¡± Lilianne. I found a shabbynd. It¡¯s Orchard Apartment on 3rd Street, 4th Street, and 5th Street on Cutural Avenue in Education Block 1. ¡°Mr. Higgins, that is a deadnd! It has been decades, but the government doesn¡¯t n to develop it. We have considered it 12 48 Wed, 12 Jul DAH. before, but after research, we found it was not a good ce. Mr. Higgins, you are still young, I think¡­¡± Lihanne, listen to me. Since thepany thinks it¡¯s not a good ce, how about this? I¡¯ll give you some money, and you buy the old houses there. All the houses will belong to me. If there is any change in the future, the 10% of the difference in profit will be used as thepany¡¯s fund. Is that okay?¡± Hearing what Adrien said, Lilianne didn¡¯t know how to refuse. Mr. Higgins gave money to employees and asked them to buy the old houses there. If there was profit, Mr. Higgins would give money to the company. Lilianne was not stupid, and why would she not agree? ¡°Mr. Higgins, since you have made up your mind. We will do it. How much will you pay to buy those shabby houses?¡± ¡°How much is the housing price there now? What have you found out about it before?¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Mr. Higgins, the housing price over there is only 130 dors per square feet. There are 117 buildings in total, all of which have six floors, so there are about 6318 houses in total. The houses are too old and about to copse. Moreover, they all cover an area of two thousand square feet. They are worthless, and they don¡¯t deserve the investment at all. Many developers wanted to develop there, but there seems to be something underground, so the buildings there can¡¯t be built high. Now there are only a few people living there, and they are all selling their houses. Besides, there is no limit there. As long as you are willing, you can buy them all. Mr. Higgins, this investment will lose money!¡± ¡°Well, I see. Adrien calcted for a while. He won a lottery of 120 million dors. After he spent 20 million dors on buying the house, there were 100 million dors left, which was enough to buy all the houses there. *Lilianne, I¡¯ll give you a task. I¡¯ll invest 100 million dors in thepany. You lead the colleagues to follow up the project. and make sure to buy all the shabby houses over there before April 1st. Remember, all of them! Tell me if the money is not enough.¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s my decision!¡± As Adrien said confidently, he transferred 100 million dors to the ount that Lilianne gave him. ¡°Lilianne, if this is done, I will give everyone who participates a bonus of three thousand dors at the end of next month.¡± ¡°Well, Mr. Higgins, since you have decided, we will try our best toplete it!¡± ¡°Go to do this work next week. I¡¯ll send you my ID card next Monday¡± After hanging up the phone, Lilianne was still in a daze. Was Mr. Higgins so rich that he didn¡¯t take 100 million dors. seriously? After returning to the meeting room, Lilianne cleared her throat and said, ¡°Mr. Higgins said he would invest 100 million. dors, and he asked us to buy all the old houses in Orchard Apartment on 3rd Street, 4th Street, 5th Street on Cutural Avenue in Education Block before April 1st. All the houses will be under his name. Everyone will get an extra three thousand dors in April if it ispleted¡± ¡°What? That¡¯s a deadnd! What¡¯s wrong with Mr. Higgins?¡± ¡°Forget it. He is rich, and he asks us to buy the houses with his own money. We are his employees, and we have to work hard for the three thousand dors.¡± As Lilianne heard these disdainful and distrustful words, she felt helpless. After all, she didn¡¯t believe in Adrien. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 On the weekend, Adrien drove back to his shabby house and moved out from there. He had complicated feelings when he saw the house he had lived in for many years. After moving out of the orphanage, he lived here for four years when he worked during college. In the end. Adrien wanted to keep these memories of his past. He spent 60 thousand dors to buy this room so that he could go back when he had time. On Monday noon, before Adrien went to Corestar Group, he received a call from Lilianne. ¡°Mr Higgins, we went to Orchard Apartment, and we were very wee. All the owners of the 117 buildings wanted to sell. their houses. They were worried that we were short of money, so they said they would reduce seven dors per square foot. In the end, the price of the 117 buildings was about 91 million dors. Besides, we applied for a Joint Property Ownership Certificate, which had your name and the address and ownership of all the houses. What do you think?¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins, when will you have time to go to the Real Estate Building in Education Block¡°¡± ¡°Now!¡± ¡°Ill make an appointment with them at 1:20 in the afternoon. Mr. Higgins, you can go there.¡± ¡°Okay, see you then!¡± Adrien was very excited. He didn¡¯t expect that things would go so smoothly. After he had a meal in a restaurant, he drove to the Real Estate Building in Education Block At 1.30 in the afternoon, Adrien met Lilianne. Adrien had thought that Lilianne was a fierce, capable, and professional woman. However, when Adrien met her, he found that Lilianne was a gentlewoman, but she would show her serious and oppressive aura as soon as she spoke. Lilianne was even more surprised by the handsome man in front of her. Adrien was tall, and his smile was very warm, which waspletely different from the yboy who was in poor health and weak Lilianne had expected. ¡°Ms. Olson,¡± Adrien said as he stretched out his right hand. ¡°Mr. Higgins, nice to meet you¡± Lilianne felt a little embarrassed. ¡°Are they here We can go in now,¡± Adrien said to Lilianne with a smile. ¡°Okay, this way, please.¡± Adrien walked in front, and behind him, Celia whispered to Lilianne, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Higgins to be so handsome. I like his smile very much! But why does he have such a bad eye for investment?¡± ¡°Shut up! Mr. Higgins will hear you¡°¡± Adrien pretended not to hear it. Since he had System with him, how could he have the same eyes as ordinary people? ¡°This is Mr. Higgins, the boss of Corestar Group. He is the one who makes the deal today. The investment is not from thepany, and it¡¯s his personal money, Lilianne exined clearly Lilianne turned to Adrien and said, ¡°Mr. Higgins, thepany has returned the money to you Because it¡¯s your personal behavior, it¡¯s not included in thepany¡¯s bill.¡± What Lilianne meant was that whether they would make or lose money had nothing to do with Corestar Group ¡°Okay, thank you¡± Under the witness of the notarization staff, the personnel from the Real Estate Transaction Center, and the representative of owners, it took nearly vo hours toplete the formality. The 91 million dors were given to the Real Estate Transaction 12:49 Wed, 12 Jul M. Center, and then it would give the money to more than 6000 families one by one. Afterpleting the formality, Adrien stood at the door of the transaction hall with the Joint Property Ownership Certificate and said, ¡°Ms. Olson, how about I treat you to a meal? You have helped me a lot.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Higgins, but I still have something to deal with in thepany. Lilianne refused. In her opinion, Adrien was an idiot who had spent 91 million dors buying a lot of dpidated buildings. Adrien guessed what was on Lilianne¡¯s mind. As Adrien smiled, he shook the property ownership certificate and said. ¡°It will be taken away in a few days. Well, since you are busy, go back. I also have something else to do. I¡¯ll go to thepany another day, and we can talk then.¡± After finishing speaking. Adrien got into the car. Lilianne and Celia were confused. What did Adrien mean? When Adrien got home, he looked at the Joint Property Ownership Certificate and finally understood what it meant. Because of the massive amount of money and therge number of owners, it was conducted in a single transaction. In the end, on the property ownership certificate that Adrien got, there was a total area of 117 buildings, Adrien didn¡¯t expect it to be done so quickly. ¡°Ding! Host, you haven¡¯t upgraded yet!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it right away! Adrien went to Palisades Shopping Mall near his home. He still needed 40 thousand FXP to update the system, and he had a watch he liked, so he chose the Nautilus of Patek Philippe which was worth 40 thousand dors. Adrien liked watches more than cars. He thought the design of the watches was more exquisite and meticulous. Everyone who wore a watch was punctual, but not everyone with a luxury car was a good driver. After Adrien finished the payment, the voice that he had been expecting for a long time sounded again. ¡°Ding! The system is upgrading. Please wait for a moment After the control panel was quickly upgraded from 1% to 100%, the backlit indicator of the third function key. Skills, lit up. The level changed from two to three, and the EXP changed from 150 thousand to 1.5 million ¡°Ding! Host has upgraded to level three. The ount of Reburg Bank has received 15 million dors.¡± Feeling excited, Adrien walked back to the car happily. Lying in the car, he began tomunicate with the system again. ¡°System, can you tell me what the Skills key is for? Is it good for you if I upgrade continuously? Can I use the 1.5 million dors to run apany or make the investment?¡± Host, the Skills key contains many skills, all of which are powerful. You will know when you use it. As for the bonus gained from EXP. you must use it in daily expenses¡± Tsee The Skills key is very magical System, I¡¯m going to use it now,¡± ¡°Host, please press the key!¡± Adrien pressed the Skills key lightly. ¡°Ding¡± Host, you have acquired the Stock Market Prediction Skill! Skall time: forever!¡± Adrien was stunned. Stock market prediction skill! Did it mean that he had the skill to make money permanently? Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Adrien thought the system was the most profitable thing for him. ¡°System, you¡¯re awesome! Can I kiss you?¡± ¡°Not Host, this prediction skill only be used once a day. You can have a try today.¡± ¡°Okay! How can I use it?¡± Chapter 13 Chapter 13 ¡°Close your eyes and focus on your mind. Get the stock price of the current stock market into your mind. and you will see the stock that will reach its limit tomorrow.¡± Adrien did as he was told, and then he saw the codes of six stocks in his mind. He wrote them down on his phone and nned to check them tomorrow, After chatting with the system for a while. Adrien drove home. It waste, and the securitiespany had been off duty, so he could only open an ount tomorrow. The second morning, after Adrien went to the biggest securitiespany in the country to open an ount, he put all the remaining money from the lottery into it. Adrien opened his ount and looked at the six stocks he had predicted yesterday. Three of them had reached the limit at the opening of the stock market, and the other three were also steadily rising, which made Adrien very confident. Since Adrien could only predict the stock price for the next day, he had to predict it after 2 o¡¯clock in the afternoon. After all, he could only make the prediction once a day. Adrien was worried that if he made the prediction and bought it too early, the stocks would fall on the same day, and he would lose money. At 2:45 in the afternoon. Adrien started the prediction. As expected. four stocks appeared in his mind. Adrien bought all of them and spent 150 thousand dors on each. After that, Adrien waited for the gains on the second day. Adrien opened the WhatsApp and asked his roommates in his college dormitory. [Guys do you want to buy stocks? These two will reach to the limit tomorrow!] [Adrien, don¡¯t be fooled!] Kolten replied quickly. [Kolten, if you don¡¯t believe me, let¡¯s wait and see tomorrow!] [Adrien, since you are so confident, I¡¯ll buy it!] Kamron replied. [We all majored in finance and securities, but our work has nothing to do with it.] Gilberto also joined the chatting [Do we have to have a job rted to our major?] After chatting for a while, the four people suddenly stopped chatting and went to their own business, leaving only Adrien alone. As Adrien looked at his phone, he felt a little bored. He thought he should find something to do, and he had to continue to upgrade the system. When Adrien drove back home, he found that the ground was covered with dust, and the bathroom was also a little dirty. Adrien wondered if he should find a cleaner. He had such a big house, and it would be troublesome if he cleaned it by himself. Besides, he could afford to hire a cleaner now. ¡°Excuse me, do you have any cleaners?¡± ¡°Cleaners? Sir, our owners all have their housekeepers. If you need one, I¡¯ll introduce the housekeeper company to you. ¡°Housekeeper?¡± Adrien was a little surprised. It seemed that most rich people had a housekeeper at home. ¡°Please¡°¡± ¡°Okay, please wait a moment¡± After a while, Adrien¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Sir, the housekeeperpany will contact youter. When are you free?¡± I¡¯m free at any time today. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ask the housekeeperpany to contact you now.¡± Adrien was very interested in this. He wondered if this would be included as the expense of the system¡¯s upgrade. ¡°Ding! Host, this is included because this is your living expenses. You need to gradually have the living standard of the upper ss and broaden your horizon. Don¡¯t think you are rich now. You are still poor in some ces.¡± ¡°I know! Don¡¯t discourage me!¡± Before Adrien finished talking with the system, the housekeeperpany called him. ¡°Is that Mr. Higgins, the owner of the 23rd floor, building 3, Wonders Apartment?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins. I¡¯m the manager of the housekeeperpany. You need a housekeeper, right? Do you have any requests?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t learn much about this. Can you tell me the type of housekeepers and the price?¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins. There are five types of housekeepers. The housekeeper of the lowest level will only be responsible for hiring people to clean your house regrly, and the highest level will live in your house. He will be responsible for your daily life, security, private doctors and nurses, full¨Ctime drivers, and teams on different asions. It depends on your needs.¡± When Adrien heard this, he thought the housekeeping team was awesome, and it must cost a lot of money. ¡°How much is the highest level?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ¡°It depends on what you need. You can choose the number of people by yourself. For example, if you think it¡¯s not safe, you can have five to ten bodyguards. You can also have chefs of different dishes. Besides, we can provide you with all kinds of makeup artists and personal assistants. ¡°Okay, I need a housekeeper, who will be responsible for managing other people, a chef, a driver, a doctor, three bodyguards, and a personal assistant.¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins, we happen to have a professional team that matches your needs. The price of this team is 300 thousand. dors a year, and our agency fee is 15 thousand dors. What do you think?¡± ¡°I need them now. They cane to work immediately ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins. I¡¯ll contact them right now. Our service charge is 15 thousand dors. You can negotiate with the housekeeper for other money.¡± ¡°No problem. When they arrive, I will give the money to you.¡± Adrien felt a little nervous. His house was big, and he was a little scared to live alone as if there was someone in his house. After Adrien had a housekeeping team, although there were more people in his house, he didn¡¯t know if his property would be safe. However, on second thought, Adrien¡¯s biggest property was the system, and he didn¡¯t care about other things. At 5 o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the building manager took the housekeeping team to the door. ¡°Mr Higgins, they said they were sent by the housekeeperpany.¡± ¡°Yes, thank you¡± Outside the door, there were six security guards, a manager, and the housekeeping team. ¡°Okay. Mr. Higgins. Goodbye!¡± ¡°Okay,e in with me ¡°Sir, I¡¯m from the housekeeperpany. My name is Sylvia Earp. This is my team, and we arrived at Reburg together today¡± ¡°Nice to meet you! Please have a seat, and let¡¯s have a chat. I don¡¯t know much about the housekeeper, but I think I need it very much. MC Earp, can you introduce it to me?¡± Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Adrien looked at the people opposite him. All of them were in high spirits. The leader of the team was Sylvia, who was in her forties. She was dressed in a professional suit, with a ponytail, and her light makeup matched her face, making capable. There were three bodyguards Although y wore jackets, their musc A were was the chef.

It depends on you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay you yearly¡± ¡°Okay, you can transfer the money to me, and I will give it to them monthly¡± ¡°Ms. Earp, give me your bank ount¡± ¡°You call me Sylvia. They all call me that. We¡¯ll be your personal housekeepers from now on.¡± ¡°Okay. I don¡¯t know who my parents are. When I was a child, people called me Adrien. You can also call me like this? ¡°No, we have rules. We will call you Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Well Adrien felt helpless, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. Adrien transferred 300 thousand dors to Sylvia and 15 thousand dors to the housekeeper company. After he thought for a while, he transferred another 450 thousand dors to Sylvia. ¡°Sylvia, the 300 thousand dors is your sry, and the rest is for the daily expenses. Buy two cars for you when you go out, and then buy two more parking spaces.¡± As Sylvia looked at Adrien, she was surprised at Adrien¡¯s wealth. After all, this was Reburg, neither Trified nor Sunrise City. Adrien transferred her 700 thousand dors casually before signing the agreement with her. Even Mr. Brown, whom her family had served before, wouldn¡¯t do this. ¡°Mr. Higgins, aren¡¯t you afraid that we will run away with the money?¡± Sylvia asked. ¡°No, I trust you. Don¡¯t cook today. I¡¯ll order takeout. Let¡¯s eat together and get to know each other.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins!¡± When other people saw Adrien was so generous, they all had a good impression of Adrien. After asking them. Adrien ordered a lot of food ording to everyone¡¯s preferences. Sylvia had been counting Adrien¡¯s things. ¡°Mr. Higgins, besides the watch in your hand, there are only some cosmetics and clothes in your house. This is the list, and please check it. We will add all the new items in the future. If they are lost, we willpensate.¡± ¡°No need, Sylvia. I don¡¯t have anything valuable. Don¡¯t forget to buy cars tomorrow, and then buy the cooking tools and medical equipment. I¡¯ve just moved in, and I need your help in the future. If youck money, just tell me.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr Higgins¡± ¡°I should thank you, Sylvia You have helped me a lot. Let¡¯s eat. You can distribute rooms by yourself. Each of you can have your own room, but the bed in the children¡¯s room needs to be changed tomorrow¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins, there is no need to change it. Your child can use it in the future.¡± ¡°Change it. I¡¯ll live here for the time being. If I move to another city, I¡¯ll change to a bigger house, and I¡¯ll arrange a children¡¯s room then¡± If someone else had heard Adrien¡¯s words, he would have been pissed off. Adrien lived in the best house in Reburg, but he still wanted to move out. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. As he ate and chatted with them, Adrien became familiar with them gradually. The three bodyguards were called Angus Cyrus, Anthony Cyrus, and Ethan Cyrus. They were brothers. Because they came from a poor family, they were sent to learn to box since childhood. Adrien thought that they must be very strong. The doctor¡¯s name was Gerard Earp, the younger brother of Sylvia The chef¡¯s name was Jaxton Hyde, and he could cook many dishes. After knowing Adrien liked desserts, Jaxton went to make a meniul The driver¡¯s name was Darneil Finn. He was a racing driver in the past, but after something happened, he no longer dared to drive a racing car. The personal assistant was called Darcy Earp, the daughter of Sylvia¡¯s brother. Adrien learned that the whole team seemed to have served a powerful family before. Since they came out, they would stay with Adrien. Adrien happened to need someone to take care of him and apany him After dinner, everyone was busy. Darcy came to Adrien and asked, ¡°Mr. Higgins, is there any work for me?¡± ¡°Not yet, but there may be a lot in the future. When you are busy. I will find a secretary to help you.¡± ¡°Okay. Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Darcy, how old are you? What¡¯s your major?¡± I''m 26 years old. I¡¯ve got an MBA from Trinity University.¡± ¡°That¡¯s awesome! I think I should raise your sry.¡± Adrien realized that all the people the housekeeper brought were. Adrien came to Sylvia and said, ¡°Sylvia, I will raise your sry by 70 thousand dors every year. Is it enough? How about. 150 thousand dors? That¡¯s it!¡± Adrien left after speaking, and Sylvia was surprised. ¡°Darcy, what did you tell Mr. Higgins?¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins asked me about my major. I told him that I graduated from Trinity University with an MBA I see. Mr. Higgins trusts us very much. Well, let¡¯s go to rest. We have other things to do tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay, Sylvia¡° Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The second morning, Adrien woke up as he smelled the fragrance of food. This was the first time that someone had made breakfast for him. ¡°Mr. Higgins, please have breakfast. Jaxton prepared milk and pancakes for you.¡± Sylvia said to Adrien while holding the dishes. ¡°Have you had breakfast?¡± Adrien asked as he looked at the time. It was almost 9 o¡¯clock, and the stock market would open in half an hour. ¡°Mr. Higgins, we have had breakfast. Each of us has a fixed time to get up and on duty. Do you have any arrangementster?¡± ¡°Nothing. By the way, Sylvia, I have a friend who works in the 45 shop of Mercedes¨CBenz. Go to buy cars there and help his sales.¡± ¡°No problem, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°This is his phone number. I will tell him on WhatsApp. You can contact him when you go there.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins. Please have breakfast.¡± After breakfast, Adrien sent a message to Gilberto on WhatsApp, telling Gilberto that Adrien¡¯s friend would go there to buy cars today. Gilberto said that he would transfer themission to Adrien after the order waspleted, but Adrien refused. ¡°Mr. Higgins, I need your driver¡¯s license to buy a car,¡± Sylvia said. ¡°You can use yours. It doesn¡¯t matter. Buy two cars. You can drive one when you go shopping, and as for the other one, buy a business car that can amodate more people.¡± ¡°I see, Mr. Higgins.¡± Sylvia went out with Darcy and Darneil, leaving three bodyguards on duty in turn. Gerard was also about to go out to buy some necessary medicine and medical equipment. After all, Adrien had just bought the house for a few days, and many things were needed. At 9:30 in the morning. Adrien got a lot of messages on the phone. He thought something had happened, but it was Kamron who kept sending messages to the group. [Adrien! The two stocks you asked me to buy yesterday have reached the limit!] [Really? I didn¡¯t take it seriously yesterday. It turned out to be true!] [How much did you buy?] [I spent three thousand dors. I earned 300 dors!] [Adrien¡¯s friend wille to buy the car today. The client has contacted me and will be here soon!] Gilberto said. (Adrien, what was going on?] (Yeah, it¡¯s the limit up. I¡¯ll have news this afternoon. You can follow me. If you are worried about losing money, you can spend less money. Adrien replied. [Adrien, are you using what you¡¯ve learned in college for work?] (No. I found the finance I¡¯ve learned in college was useless to work. I think so! I have to work now. Adrien, if you get any news this afternoon, tell us. You will get half if I earn!] [I don¡¯t want money. I¡¯ll tell you if there¡¯s any news.] opening. Adrien After chatting, Adrien opened the stock software and saw that the four stocks had reached the limit after the was excited that he earned nearly 60 thousand dors a day. Besides, the thousands of houses he bought were about to be demolished next week, and he wondered how much he would get. Adrien thought he should ask someone to check it before this, in case he would be fooled when he negotiated with the other party. Although Adrien was rich now, he wanted to get the biggest profit in doing business. ¡°Ms. Olson, are you busy?¡± ¡°What¡¯s up, Mr. Higgins?¡± Adrien could tell that Lilianne didn¡¯t respect him, but it was reasonable. After all, Lilianne had been working hard for many years before she gained the current achievements, but now the achievements of her family¡¯s several generations were acquired by Adrien. Besides, Lilianne didn¡¯t know Adrien well, and Adrien didn¡¯t seem to be capable, so Lilianne was not convinced. However, Adrien didn¡¯t care. He had the system, and he believed that one day, those people would feel lucky to follow him. ¡°Well, I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°If the houses I bought a few days ago are demolished, how much will I get?¡± N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Mr. Higgins, the money for the demolishing is calcted ording to the average housing price of the ce where the house is located. Now the average housing price in Reburg is about 21 hundred dors, which is enough for people to change a house to live.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins, do you think that ce will be demolished?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Is there anything wrong with thepany recently?¡± ¡°No. Mr. Higgins. I can handle it.¡± ¡°Okay, if there is something you can¡¯t handle, you can ask me for help.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins.¡± Lilianne knew Corestar Group very well, so no matter how many questions Adrien asked, Lilianne didn¡¯t care. After selling the stocks he bought yesterday, Adrien was about to go out. He still needed to upgrade the system. After the upgrade yesterday, Adrien got 1.5 million dors. Adrien had given 700 thousand dors to Sylvia¡¯s team, but he didn¡¯t know how to spend the rest. ¡°Host, you are so stupid. You don¡¯t even know how to spend money!¡± ¡°System, how dare you!¡± Host, I think you arecking too much now. You have the Never Forget skill, but you don¡¯t study. You have millions of assets, but you don¡¯t know how to spend them! ¡°You are right. I¡¯ll go to the library. I was interested in securities before, but I always skipped sses to work when I was in college. Now I have time to study.¡± Adrien drove out of Wonders Apartment. The two bodyguards who followed him felt helpless, and they called a car to follow Adrien closely. When Adrien arrived at Reburg Library, he found a quiet ce and many books about investment. The two bodyguards were guarding Adrien not far away. After reading for a long time, Adrien thought that what he had learned at school was too basic, and now he had a new understanding of many profound words. Chapter 16 Chapter 16 After returning all the books to the bookstore, Adrien walked out and saw Angus and Anthony. Do you guys love reading too?¡± Adrien walked toward them and asked. ¡°We¡¯re here to keep you safe, Mr. Higgins ¡°What? Have you guys been following me all morning? Were you around me all the time?¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Did you have lunch? You must be hungry Let¡¯s go have lunch¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins, Jaxton made cuisine for you at home.¡± ¡°Oh, right. I have a chef now¡± ¡°Let me drive you home, Mr Higgins. Anthony will take a cab ¡°Alright.¡± Adrien still needed some time to adapt to his new life with a housekeeping team, but it was understandable. He had lived alone without a single servant for thest 22 years. Suddenly, he was surrounded by all these people. Adrien certainly needed time to take all this When he got in the car. Adrien closed his eyes to predict the stock market on Wednesday and rmended one stock to his friends in the chat group. He didn¡¯t tell them all the stocks be favored, Adrien¡¯s three friends would earn a fortune even if one of the stocks he rmended hardened Adrien¡¯s friends saw his message and immediately put all their money into the stock Adrien rmended. [Thank you for introducing your friend to me. Adrien! She bought amercial car and a sedan car without hesitation! TI give your cut once I get mymission next month, man!] Gilberto wrote excitedly in the group. [That¡¯s okay. You keep it! I¡¯ll let you know if anyone else wants to buy a car.] Adrien chatted with his friends for a while, and suddenly, something struck him. ¡°System, I have a question. Will it help increase my EXP in the System if I have a girlfriend and spend money for her?¡± ¡°Yes. Your girlfriend will be an integral part of your life.¡° ¡°I see. How about my housekeeping team? Will my EXP increase if I give my staff money and ask them to buy necessities for me?¡± ¡°Certainly,¡± Adrien smiled. He found a loophole! T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. When he returned home, the cuisine was ready. ¡°Hello, Mr. Higgins Sylvia greeted Adrien while sorting out the things to be purchased with other staff and wrote them down on the list. ¡°Your lunch is ready. Mr. Higgins. Anthony told me about your taste. So I prepared these for you.¡± The chef brought a te of cheese lobster as he spoke ¡°Thank you. You¡¯ve cooked so much Please join me as well!¡± ¡°We are servants, Mr. Higgins. It¡¯s not our ce to¡­ Adrien interrupted before Sylvia could finish speaking. I¡¯m telling you to sit and eat! I can¡¯t eat them all. It would be a waste if you threw the leftovers away later. Plus, you¡¯ve been working all morning. It¡¯s time to rx. How much did the cars and all these things cost, Sylvia?¡± ¡°We spent 320 thousand dors today for two cars, car¨Crted things like license tes and insurances, two parking spots, and daily necessities, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Come on, sit here. Let¡¯s have lunch together and chat for a while.¡± Adrien had to force them into seats and cat with him. During lunch, Adrien proposed buying everyone a car, so they could go wherever they wanted more quickly. He felt sorry to his bodyguards. Adrien didn¡¯t want everyone around him to feel neglected! People were touched, but Sylvia refused instantly. ¡°We don¡¯t need cars, Mr. Higgins. We already have two, which is more than enough for us. Please don¡¯t squander money on cars. We ought to reduce costs, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Oh, Sylvia. I n to set up an investmentpany. Which city do you think it¡¯s best, Reburg, Trified, or Sunrise City?¡± ¡°It depends on your business scope and investment amount, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°I see. I¡¯m not sure how much money I¡¯ll pool, but I¡¯ll start with securities business.¡± ¡°Reburg will be good enough if it¡¯s a small securitiespany with a shoestring. However, if it¡¯s a big one, like an Angel Investment that makes money by investing in new projects, Sunrise City or Trified will be a better choice. There are more investment opportunities in those two cities than in Reburg!¡± ¡°Right. Reburg is a small city.¡± ¡°May I ask what you do for a living. Mr. Higgins?¡± ¡°Me? I¡¯m unemployed right now, except I¡¯m a sleeping partner of apany. We bought many recement buildings and await the government to relocate the local people.¡± ¡°Recement buildings?¡± ¡°Yes. I have a Joint Property Ownership Certificate for those recement buildings on my nightstand.¡± Joint Property Ownership Certificate?¡± Sylvia was astonished. She knew what that meant! Not anyone could get a Joint Property Ownership Certificate. One must own at least a hundred houses to get that! ¡°Mr. Higgins, may I ask how many houses you have purchased?¡± ¡°Only 6,000 houses. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Oh, my!¡± ¡°Wow!¡± Everyone was greatly impressed by how wealthy Adrien was! He was vastly rich! ¡°You made an excellent choice buying those houses, Mr. Higgins!¡± Angus gave a thumbs¨Cup to Adrien! ¡°Oh I just received a message. Mr. Higgins. There will be a big auction in the Crown Emperor Hotel of Reburg on the 10th day of next month. Will you go and have a look!¡± Auction What will be auctioned ¡°Well, there will be antiques, jewelry, and stock shares of smallpanies. I¡¯ll ask them to send you an invitation letter if you want to check it out.¡± ¡°Does it cost money to get invited?¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Higgins. Everyone needs an invitation letter to get into the auction. A basic invitation letter costs 300 thousand dors, but it can be cashed out and used in the auction.¡± ¡°Basic invitation letter?¡± ¡°Yes. People with basic invitation letters will sit behind the third row, and you can buy unlimited basic invitation letters. However, one can only buy three invitation letters if they want VIP seats in the first three rows, and the cost for each row will be different.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be soplicated. How much does it cost to sit in a VIP seat?¡± ¡°It costs 700 thousand dors to sit on the third row, 1.1 million dors on the second row, and 1.7 million dors on the first row. Each row has twelve seats. It¡¯s quite expensive even for the rich people in Reburg.¡± Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Adrien considered for a moment. He had less than 1.5 million dors in his pocket now and would need money for relocating the locals and upgrading the System. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Can I get back to youter, Sylvia? I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯ll have time for that.¡± ¡°Sure. Mr. Higgins. Please let me know before the 8th day of next month.¡± Meanwhile, Lilianne also received invitation letters for the auction. ¡°Ms. Olson, all the rich people in Reburg will attend this auction. The host also reserved two seats for Corestar Group. So, what do you think?¡± Celia reminded. ¡°You cane with me. I¡¯ll take the chance and catch up with my friends. Thest few days have been rough for me.¡± ¡°What about Mr. Higgins¡­¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t know anybody there. Just forget about him.¡± ¡°O¡­ okay.¡± Things went well for the next few days. Adrien thought his ordinarymercial car might not be decent enough if he took it to the auction. He took Sylvia¡¯s advice and bought a Bentleymercial car with seven seats that was worth more than 600 thousand dors. That would make Adrien look good on the auction! April was drawing near. Adrien had been expecting to hear the relocation news on April 4. Unexpectedly, people of Education Block reached out to Sylvia on April 1. ¡°Hello, may I speak to Mr. Adrien Higgins?¡± ¡°Hello. This is Mr. Adrien¡¯s butler. May I ask who I am speaking to?¡± ¡°I¡¯m calling on behalf of the Development Department of Reburg Education Block. We understand Mr. Higgins owns 6318 houses in the Orchard Apartment in the 3rd Street, 4th Street, and 5th Street of the Cutural Avenue, Education Block. We just received a notification that those who live in the above¨C mentioned areas will be relocated. Mr. Higgins is the actual owner of those houses. Therefore, we would like to meet with Mr. Higgins sometime to discuss this matter.¡± ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll tell him. Please wait a moment.¡± Sylvia went to Adrien and reported the good news. Adrien was pleased. He didn¡¯t expect to hear it so soon. The meeting was set for 10:30 am. on April 2 at a coffee house at Reburg International Hotel. On the big day, Darneil drove the new Bentleymercial car. Adrien was apanied by his butler Sylvia, assistant Darcy, and his two bodyguards, Ethan and Anthony. When Adrien arrived at the coffee house, he saw two people sitting there. They were representing the nning Department of Education Block to negotiate with Adrien. It was clear Adrien was a bigwig as he owned over six thousand houses and was surrounded by a group of people when he came in here. The two people sitting there immediately stood up and greeted Adrien warmly. You must be Mr. Higgins, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so young, handsome, and rich! I¡¯m Caspar Amos, and this is Derek Nash I¡¯m the leading negotiant today Hello. Adrien nodded. Everyone sat down. Caspar began to speak Mr. Higgins, we can¡¯t offer you arge sum ofpensation as the government didn¡¯t give us enough funds Plus, there to many buildings in those areas, and they are all shaky and old ¡°Mr. Amos, let¡¯s get to the price. I don¡¯t have time for negotiation. I know the buildings are old, but that will help save you a lot of money in demolishing them. Mypany is also in the real estate business. I know how things work. Therefore, I hope we can be sincere and offer a better price.¡± ¡°Of course, Mr. Higgins. To be honest, my boss told me that the best offer would be 1,000 dors per square feet. It¡¯s high enough for buildings like yours.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you are being sincere here, Mr. Amos. 1,000 dors per square foot may seem good enough for a shabby old house. However, the current policy states that thepensation offer must be based on the average house price of Reburg at least! It doesn¡¯t matter how much my houses are worth. The average house price in Reburg is about 2070 dors per square foot. Therefore, I hope you can make me another offer, Mr. Amos.¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins¡­¡± Caspar looked at Derek, who was also helpless. The highest price their boss could bear was 2100 dors per square foot. The lower the price they offered, the better it would be. ¡°That¡¯s too much, Mr. Higgins. What about 1,100 dors per square feet?¡± ¡°Good call, Mr. Amos¡± Sylvia and Darcy were pleased by the new offer. They were impressed that their boss could get the news in advance and buy all those houses beforehand. They wouldn¡¯t dare to do business with a hard case like this man. Luckily, this man was Mr. Higgins, their boss! ¡°Mr. Higgins, how about 1.300 dors? I can¡¯t offer anything higher than that!¡± ¡°Mr. Amos, Mr. Nash, I¡¯ll give you a price, 2,000 dors per square foot, period. It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want to pay me this much. I have my own real estatepany, meaning I can develop thend and build houses myself. There are antiques. buried under these areas, and must know it as well. That¡¯s why you came to me. However, if we fail to make a deal today, I¡¯ll invest more money in thend and turn it into a shopping mall. That¡¯s also what the areas need urgently. I¡¯ll invite you two over to the opening ceremony of my shopping mall!¡± As Adrien spoke, he stood up and began to leave. ¡°Please hold on, Mr. Higgins. Let me make a call. I have to consult my boss about your proposal, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll wait.¡± ¡°Thank you. Mr. Higgins. One moment please.¡± Caspar left to make the call. Derek was left alone to sweat over and butter up Adrien. However, Adrien ignored Derekpletely. He just closed his eyes and did some math. Another 150 thousand dors would help him upgrade the System. He could buy a watch with that kind of money! After a couple of minutes. Caspar came back with a sour face. ¡°Mr. Higgins. I know you are no ordinary person. But I didn¡¯t expect you to be the boss of Corestar Group.¡± ¡°So, what¡¯s the deal?¡± Adrien asked casually. ¡°My boss agreed with your price. I just did the calctions. You have 6,318 houses, which is eight million square feet in total. If wepensate you 2,000 dors per square foot, you will earn 1.6 billion dors. Mr. Higgins, you will be the richest man in Reburg!¡± Is that right? When will you give the money?¡± ¡°How about now, Mr. Higgins?¡± I would love that. Let¡¯s go.¡± Caspar and Derek also got in Adrien¡¯s Bentleymercial car. Soon, they all arrived at the trading hall. Everything went smoothly. 1.6 billion dors were transferred to Adrien¡¯s bank card in Treasury Bank. With the money left in that card. Adrien now possessed more than 1.6 billion dors! Mr. Higgins, we will have an auction in Reburg next week. Perhaps you cane and check it out. Caspar smiled and took out three invitation letters. Adrien took them and passed them to Sylvia, who opened them and said Mr. Higgins its the VIP seats in the middle of the first row Chapter 18 Chapter 18 ¡°Thank you for the invitation letter, Mr. Amos. I¡¯ll see you at the auction.¡± ¡°Great. See you then. Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Okay. See you next week.¡± Adrien left the trading hall and got back to his Bentley car. He was smiling. Tm impressed, Mr. Higgins.¡± Darcyplimented Adrien sincerely.. ¡°That was nothing Adrien smiled. ¡°Darneil, let¡¯s go to ckpool Shopping Mall. I need to buy a watch.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Higgins.¡± A piece of news hit Reburg in the afternoon! Lilianne stared at the news and said, ¡°What? Orchard Apartment, thergest shabby house in Reburg, will be demolished, and 6,300 households will be relocated!¡± ¡°Ms. Olson! Didn¡¯t Mr. Higgins purchase thatnd? Wow, he will earn a fortune!¡± ¡°Yeah, he will!¡± Lilianne realized that she had underestimated Adrien. She suddenly recalled what she had said to Adrien when he bought the houses. Lilianne had been obstructive all this time, but Adrien had everything under control. She felt ashamed of her shortsightedness. Just as Lilianne was immersed in her own thought, someone barged in. ¡°Bad news, Ms. Olson!¡± Nicole, the director of the Trade Department, entered in panic.. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Ms. Olson, the two cargo ships loaded with the goods we bought from Ocasta Country sank in the Eden Ocean. Our direct loss will be over 300 million dors!¡± ¡°What? How did it happen?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true! We just got the information. The marine bureau is already investigating the shipwrecks, there seem to be casualties. this time. We usually purchase arge quantity of goods from overseas in one go and then supply them to other ces. Now that the goods are gone, how will we make money? Plus, we got those 300 million dors from the bank!¡± ¡°Celia, go to the ounting Department and check how much cash we have in our corporate ount! Contact all the media, and stop them from reporting it!¡± ¡°Yes, Ms Olson!¡± ¡°Nicole, follow up on the shipwreck ident! Find out the cause and see if we can salvage the wreck. We must reduce our loss as much as possible!¡± ¡°Yes, Ms. Olson!¡± Nicole and Celia left Lilianne sat in the chair, unable to think! Adrien and his men bought a dark blue Vacheron Constantin watch at the ckpool Shopping Mall. Adrien had 150 thousand dors endowed by the System in his bank cart. However, that wasn¡¯t enough to buy the watch. He had to draw some money from the Treasury Bank. Adrien sat in the backseat of his Bentley car with his new watch on his wrist and listened to the System prompt! ter ¡°Ding! You have reached the standard for upgrading, Host. The System will be upgraded to level 4. It will take a few minutes to upgrade. Please wait a moment. The System is being upgraded now¡­ Sylvia saw a piece of news. The ships that carried goods imported by Corestar Trading Company, a subsidiarypany of the Corestar Group, sank in the Eden Ocean. Thepany would suffer a direct loss of 300 million dors. Sylvia wanted to tell Adrien about the news, but Adrien seemed to be sleeping. Darcy and Sylvia thought he must be tired now. Therefore, they didn¡¯t disturb Adrien However, as the president of Corestar Group, Mr. Higgins seemed to have no idea what had happened. That news only appeared for a second and was gone! They had no choice but to wait and tell Mr. Higgins when he woke up. ¡°Ding! The System has upgraded to level four!¡± ¡°Ding! Host¡¯s Reburg bank ount has received seven million dors.¡± Adrien checked the System Control Panel. He was happy to see more keys avable! Besides the keys of Predictions, Blessing, and Skills he previously unlocked, a new key of Raffles could be used now! I have a question, System. I didn¡¯t even use the function keys of Blessing and Predictions when it was level 3. Why can¡¯t I use them now?¡± Adrien noticed a problem. ¡°Ding! I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at predicting, Host. Thus, if you don¡¯t use the function keys in time, you won¡¯t be able to use themter.¡± ¡°What the hell: Why didn¡¯t you tell me before?¡± ¡°Please watch yournguage, Host.¡± ¡°Fine!¡± Adrien opened his eyes sullenly. ¡°How are you holding up, Mr. Higgins?¡± Sylvia thought Adrien was upset because he had discovered what had happened in hispany. ¡°I¡¯m okay, just a bit tired. What¡¯s up. Sylvia?¡± ¡°I just learned some news about your Corestar Group, Mr. Higgins. However, the news was gone now. I supposed someone retracted it ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°A subsidiarypany of Corestar Group, Corestar Trading Company, has imported goods worth 300 million dors and put them on two cargo ships, but they sank in the Eden Ocean. The direct loss will be 300 million dors, and the money was a loan from the bank. Therefore, the rtedpany will suffer even more loss.¡± Adrien listened silently and thought of Lilianne suddenly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Lilianne will take care of it. If she can¡¯t handle it, she wille to me.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Higgins. Are we heading home?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ¡°Yes. I need to rest for a while.¡± Adrien had been busy all day. He barely checked his phone. It was almost 3 o¡¯clock in the afternoon when Adrien finished predicting and sending the message to the WhatsApp Then, he logged in to his ount and checked. Everything went as he expected. Chapter 19 Chapter 19 When Adrien returned home, his staff left to attend to their private affairs. Adrieny on the bed and thought about the news about Corestar Group that Sylvia mentioned to him. He checked on his phone but couldn¡¯t find any rted information. No domestic media had reported the news. Perhaps he could find something on foreign news channels. Just as expected, foreign media reported the news. The Corestar Group had imported cosmetics, food, electronics, and luxuries and put them on two cargo ships. When the ships arrived at the Eden Ocean, there was a hurricane. Then, the ships sank, and several people died. Adrien turned off the phone and contemted for a while. He was sure Lilianne woulde to him if she couldn¡¯t handle it herself. However, it had been several hours since the incident happened, and Lilianne still didn¡¯t contact him. It would mean either she already took care of everything or she didn¡¯t want Adrien to know about it! Adrien didn¡¯t mind if Lilianne took care of everything without reporting to him. However, if Lilianne couldn¡¯t handle it and hid it from him, Adrien would do something! He was only a sleeping partner of the Corestar Group and didn¡¯t even go to thepany once. The worst scenario would be to sell all his shares that the System endowed Adrien! Adrien had 79% of the stock shares of Corestar Group. Thepany¡¯s stock price would plummet and drop 90% if Adrien. sold his shares! That would be a loss no shareholder could bear except Adrien. It didn¡¯t cost a dime for him to get those shares in the first ce! Meanwhile, Lilianne was in a three¨Cstory vi on the outskirts of Reburg. ¡°Lilianne, I haven¡¯t seen you for almost a month! How are you doing?¡± Rnd said while greeting his downcast daughter. ¡°Dad, let¡¯s eat first. What do you want to have? I¡¯ll cook.¡± ¡°You can cook whatever you want. I¡¯m not picky,¡± Rnd and Lilianne did some small talk over the meal. ¡°Now, what¡¯s going on, Lilianne?¡± Rnd said abruptly. ¡°Nothing is going on, Dad. What do you mean?¡± ¡°You are still hiding it from me. You didn¡¯t tell me when thepany was merged, and now you are not going to tell me what happened in the tradingpany. I am retired, but I still know stuff¡± *Fine. I¡¯ll tell you, Dad. We just lost a patch of goods worth 315 million dors, and that money was a loan from the bank. We only have 130 million dors of cash flow in our ount, and that¡¯s not enough. I¡¯ve already contacted all the media people and asked them not to report it. If anyone learns about this, we will have to pay back the debt andpensate for the loss of our partners. That¡¯s pretty much it.¡± ¡°When did it happen?¡± ¡°It has been over 7 hours since I got the news and 19 hours since the shipwreck.¡± ¡°Did you tell this to Mr. Higgins, the new president?¡± ¡°Why would I tell him? He¡¯s just a¡­¡± ¡°Lilianne! You are no longer the president of the group. Your shares are less than one¨Ctenth of his. You can¡¯t call the shots in thepany. If you don¡¯t tell him what happened and handle the situation yourself, which may cause the stock price to plummet, Mr. Higgins will suffer a great loss. He may file a *It¡¯s not like that, Dad! No one cares about Corestar Group better than me. I won¡¯t sit back and watch our group fail. Mr.¡± Higgins has nevere to thepany since he purchased it. That¡¯s how little he cares about thepany. Mr. Higgins is an unreliable man. All he cares about are profit and performance. He only used his family wealth to chip in and share our profits! ¡°Lilianne, let me remind you of one thing. Corestar Group is no longer ourpany. Do you have any idea how wealthy at man must be to buy most shares of Corestar Group?¡± ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have to say anything. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Rnd looked at his daughter and said nothing more. Adrien thought Lilianne would call him, so he waited until 10 p.m. However, Lilianne didn¡¯t call. Adrien just forgot about it. Meanwhile, the System upgraded again, and he received another seven million dors. Nevertheless, Adrien cared nothing about money. All he cared about was the four keys on the control panel. ¡°System! I want to use the key of Predictions!¡± ¡°Ding! The System is predicting now. Please wait for a second. Ding! The stock price of Daniel Technology in the Postport Security Exchange will plummet 93% in April. 22. Please seize the opportunity, Host.¡± ¡°Holy shit! That¡¯s another chance to get rich!¡± Adrien grew excited. He was thinking of leveraging ten times, twenty times, or even fifty times the capital he would invest from the bank and using the fund to short the shares of Daniel Technology. Adrien looked at the calendar. April 22 would be Thursday. He still had time to open an ount and contact the bank and securities trader! ¡°Sylvia, I need to make a trip to Postport in April. 20. Please book an air ticket for me. I¡¯ve already had my passport applied. Darcy, Angus, and you wille as well.¡± ¡°Postport? Why are you going there?¡± Darcy was curious. ¡°I¡¯m going to short a stock there. However, I don¡¯t have an ount in the Postport Security Exchange. So, I have to arrive. there earlier and get it ready.¡± Sylvia thought about Adrien¡¯s words for a moment and said, ¡°I know people in this business. May I ask how much you are going to invest, Mr. Higgins? I may help you with that.¡± ¡°Great. Sylvia¡± I¡¯m thinking of raising a fund 20 times or 50 times my principal, but I¡¯m not sure about the amount limitation of the Postport Security Exchange.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll contact my former boss for you tomorrow, Mr. Higgins. His family is in the stock market business and has a subsidiarypany in Postport.¡± ¡°You would do that for me? Thank you, Sylvia.¡± ¡°You are most wee, Mr. Higgins.¡± Adrien returned to his room andy on the bed. He initiated the second skill. Adrien was surprised that his second skill was flying an airne, and the System also gave him a Pilot¡¯s License! This small blue license was proof that Adrien could fly airnes. ¡°In such case, perhaps I should buy a ne. Never mind. I¡¯ll see if it¡¯s necessaryter. Adrien thought to himself. ¡°System, I want to click the Blessing key!¡± ¡°Ding! You have received a great blessing. Host. I wish you Never Get Sick!¡± ¡°What? Seriously?¡± N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ¡°It¡¯s most certainly true!¡± Chapter 20 Chapter 20 When Adrien clicked the Skills keyst time, his memory got much better than before. Therefore, he thought things would be the same this time. He clicked the Blessing key and waited for something to happen. He didn¡¯t expect the System would wish him never to get sick. Others might think it was a useless wish, but it was the best wish Adrien could want! ¡°Great thanks, System! About Raffles, I want to draw one now.¡± ¡°Ding! Please get ready to draw a Raffle, Host.¡± Adrien closed his eyes. Three golden red boxes appeared before him and began to rotate quickly. Adrien reached out and grabbed one box just as he was getting dizzy. ¡°I¡¯ll choose this one! They are making me sick.¡± ¡°Ding! Please click the box you have chosen, Host¡± Adrien did as the System told him. ¡°Ding! You just got a mansion worthy of 600 million dors in downtown Sunrise City, Host. Here are the keys and property certificate!¡± Adrien was trembling with joy when he heard the System. He had never been to any mansion and only saw it on television. But now, he would own a mansion in Sunrise City worth 600 million dors! Adrien wondered how much coverage area such a castle would be. He decided to move to Sunrise City for the sake of System after he finished his business in Postport. It would be a huge waste if Adrien left a grand castle lying idle. Adrien could rx now as he had used all four function keys overnight. He wouldn¡¯t have to worry about missing out on things the new function keys might offer if the System upgraded suddenly. Adrien got up early the following day, sold all the stocks he bought yesterday, and enjoyed a fancy breakfast prepared by Jaxton. ¡°Mr. Higgins, I just checked with my former boss. Postport Bank allows you to invest no more than 150 million dors as principal to leverage a fund 50 times your principal, 450 million dors to leverage a fund 20 times your principal, and 1.5 billion dors to leverage ten times your principal. The amount of funds you will get is rted to the probability of liquidation. The more principal you put in, the lower the probability of liquidating will be. ordingly, you will get fewer funds from the bank. Vice versa, the less principal you put in, the higher the probability of closing the transaction, and the more money you will get from the bank.¡± ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll put in 1.5 billion dors as principal to leverage a fund ten times my principal. Sylvia, tell the other guys about our trip and make sure they have their passports prepared. We will fly to Postport on April 20 and get back on the night of April 22. We¡¯ll do the transaction on April 22¡± ¡°Okay. Mr. Higgins.¡± Sylvia already prepared everything. After learning about Sylvia¡¯s new boss¡® n of investing 1.5 billion dors to leverage a fund ten times his principal and short a stock, the heir of the Brooks family in Sunrise City was greatly intrigued. He helped Sylvia to get in touch with the securities trader, operator, and third party. ¡°I have something to share with you.¡± Adrien summoned all his housekeeping team, eight people in total. ¡°Mr. Higgins, you can just tell us what you need,¡± Sylvia said. ¡°Well, I¡¯m thinking of moving to Sunrise City next month. Will youe with me?¡± People looked at each other in confusion when they heard what Adrien said. ¡°Sure. Mr. Higgins We¡¯ll follow you wherever you go. But, do you have any property over there?¡± ¡°Yes, Sylvia. I have a small mansion. We¡¯ll all live in that manor.¡± ¡°Okay. Mr. Higgins.¡± The next few days were easy for Adrien. He would go out for walks and shopping sometimes, but he spent much time in the bookstore. Gradually, Adrien became interested in many subjects, such as medicine, astronomy, geography, and even divination! He even got himself some tarot cards to study every day. Still, no one in the Corestar Group reached out to Adrien. He almost forgot about the loss that the company would suffer from the shipwrecks. It was April 10, and Adrien was about to leave the house. ¡°Mr. Higgins, you need to attend the auction today. Where are you heading now?¡± Sylvia stopped Adrien and asked. ¡°Oh, right. I forgot about it. I did promise Caspar and Derek that I woulde.¡± ¡°What will you wear, Mr. Higgins?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve never been to any auction before.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve arranged for people from the garmentpany toe over and pick the right outfit for you at 11 o¡¯clock, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°Huh? Other people will choose the outfit for me?¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Yes, Mr. Higgins. About the watch, the dark blue Vacheron Constantin on your wrist will do.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± At 11 o¡¯clock, people from the garmentpany arrived. They brought tons of new clothes. The designer held each outfit to Adrien and checked if it fitted him. He gave the ones that fitted Adrien to his assistant and tossed aside the ones that didn¡¯t. Finally, he chose three top suits and told Adrien. ¡°Mr. Higgins, I think those suits fit you well. You can take them all. You will need to get changed for the party after the auction.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Adrien didn¡¯t know the drill of auction. ¡°Mr. Higgins, it¡¯s normal to have a spare outfit for an important asion like an auction. You will need one suit for the auction, one for the party, and another as spare.¡± Sylvia exined. ¡°I see. Okay, I¡¯ll take three suits then. ¡°Okay. Mr. Higgins. Those suits are all Stefano Ri. It costs 70 thousand dors for the suits. With the leather shoes and other essories, you need to pay 110 thousand dors in total.¡± ¡°What?¡± Adrien was shocked. ¡°Mr. Higgins, if it¡¯s too expensive for you, I can¡­¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not that. I¡¯ll take everything you just rmended, and don¡¯t forget about these two suits. This color looks great. I take this suit as well. By the way, I have eight staff members here. Pick something for them to wear. They will attend the auction with me. I won¡¯t have them wear anything bad. I¡¯ll pay 150 thousand dors for each outfit for them. ¡°What?¡± The designer was confused. He thought he only needed to pick outfits for Mr. Higgins. He didn¡¯t expect Mr. Higgins to be extravagant and buy clothes for his driver, bodyguards, chef, doctor, and other staff, ¡°What? Is there a problem?¡± ¡°No, of course not. I¡¯ll go back and fetch more clothes. Please wait a moment, Mr. Higgins.¡± ¡°No hurries. I¡¯ll give the money to you now. Otherwise, I may forget about it.¡± Adrien transferred 1.5 million dors and showed the transfer note to the designer. Seeing Adrien already paid, the designer began to pick clothes immediately. ¡°Mr. Higgins, we don¡¯t need to look good. I¡¯m just a driver. I won¡¯t go inside the auction. You don¡¯t have to buy me such an expensive suit.¡± Chapter 21 Chapter 21 ¡°He¡¯s right, Mr. Higgins. We are bodyguards, and we usually have to wear something loose. It would be a waste of money if you also bought us suits.¡± ¡°You can wear them whenever you want. There will be plenty of times for you to apany me to important asions. You must look sharp!¡± Adrien checked the System secretly, and it didn¡¯t object to him. Instead, the EXP on the control panel increased to 10 million points. Adrien was a good¨Clooking man, and the tailor¨Cmade suit chosen in the morning made him look sharp but elegant, superior but restrained. Darcy and Sylvia had never seen their boss like this. They were slightly taken aback by his appearance. ¡°What? Do I look old in this suit?¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°No. Mr. Higgins. You look amazing. You will overshadow the movie stars if they are here.¡± ¡°You tter me, Darcy. I¡¯m just an ordinary man. Let¡¯s hit the road.¡± Darncil slowly stopped the car at the entrance of the Crown Emperor Hotel. Before Adrien got out of the car, Sylvia and Angus came out first to clear the road, and then Darcy and Ethan got out to help Adrien. Everyone looked dashing in their top suits! The usher was confused when he saw Adriene out of the Bentley car. He had no idea who Adrien was, not to mention Adrien¡¯s staff members. However, the usher still greeted everyone warmly. ¡°Good day,dies and gentlemen. Wee to the Crown Emperor Auction of Reburg. May I see your invitation letters. please?¡± Sylvia gave three invitation letters to the usher. The usher was stunned! The people in front of him would sit in the VIP seats of the first row, right in the middle! Only truly powerful men could have ess to those seats. However, this handsome young man in the middle of the group had three invitation letters. He must be¡­. The usher couldn¡¯t even imagine how powerful this man was! He just ushered them in cordially. ¡°Mr. Higgins, bodyguards are not allowed to go inside. Therefore, Darneil and we will wait for you outside.¡± ¡°Okay. Find somece to have a rest.¡± Adrien, Sylvia, and Darcy followed the usher and entered the hotel. The usher even spared Adrien the trouble of capital verification. Just as Adrien and his staff passed the desk for capital verification, Lilianne and Celia finished their capital verification. ¡°Ms. Olson, isn¡¯t that Mr. Higgins?¡± I¡¯m not sure. I only saw his back Lilianne began to regreting here today. However, she couldn¡¯t miss out on this opportunity because she heard that Hester West, the president of Reburg Treasury Bank, would attend the auction too. As Adrien entered, he said, ¡°I have to use the restroom. You guys wait for a moment.¡± ¡°Oh, I have to use it too, Mr. Higgins ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go. Darcy is a woman, Mr. Higgins. She can¡¯t go with you.¡± I was kidding? Adrienughed Grapici 21 Lilianne and Celia didn¡¯t see Adrien when they got inside, but they saw Hester, who sat on the first row on the side, having a good time chatting with the president of Golden Mountain Group. ¡°Ms. West, long time no see.¡± Lilianne greeted Hester, which surprised Hester a bit. ¡°Ah, yes. It¡¯s been some time, Ms. Olson.¡± Hester nced at Lilianne coldly. She had been expecting Adrien. He had be a premium customer of Treasury Bank since he banked a cheque for more than 114 million dors in her bank. Adrien spent the money soon, but his personal ount received over 1.6 billion dors from the Development Department just the other day, which made Adrien¡¯s ount one of the top ten personal ounts in the country. Hester was praised and rewarded by her boss in Sunrise City for having such a rich man as her customer. Therefore, Hester was disappointed not to see Mr. Higgins in the auction. ¡°Ms. West, may I have a word with you?¡± Lilianne asked. ¡°What is it, Ms. Olson? The auction is about to begin.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t know what happened in Corestar Group, did you, Ms. West? Two cargo ships carrying goods worth over 300 million dors imported by the Corestar Trading Company sank in the ocean the other day. Ms. West, did your bank loan that money to her?¡± ¡°Zip it. David Hamilton! It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Lilianne snapped, her face darkening. ¡°Is it true, Ms. Olson?¡± Hester asked. ¡°Well¡­ it¡¯s true. We are still investigating the incident. About the bank loan¡­¡± Hester squinted at Lilianne first, then Celia, and said, ¡°Ms. Olson. As I understand it, Mr. Higgins is the biggest boss of yourpany. He¡¯s right here in Reburg. All the influential people in Reburg are here today for the auction. Why isn¡¯t he here?¡± ¡°Huh? You know Mr. Higgins?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve got it! It was you who gave an internal call to Ms. Olson¡¯s office and asked about Mr. Higgins the other day.¡± Celia said to Hester in amazement. ¡°Yes, it was me. Mr. Higgins is one of the top ten premium customers of our bank. I would say yes to him if he came to me on behalf of Corestar Group. However, you came to me instead. So, it¡¯s a hard no. Your creditworthiness and deposit in our bank are no rival to Mr. Higgins.¡± Hester¡¯s words left Lilianne dumbfounded Lilianne had no idea how wealthy Adrien was! ¡°Who is Mr. Higgins, Ms. West David asked. ¡°He¡¯s the biggest shareholder of Corestar Group I don¡¯t know how many personal assets he has, but he has over one billion dors in our Treasury Bank. Rich people like him usually live in Sunrise City and Trified, but he is living right here in Reburg¡± ¡°Really? He has a deposit of more than one billion dors! Wow, this new boss of Corestar Group must be powerful!¡± Tell me about it! However, someone seemed to have despised this powerful man entirely.¡± Hester and David ignored Lilianne and Celia and resumed their conversation. Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Adrien went into the hall and got to his seat in the first row ording to the guidance of the invitation cara. People in the first and the second rows all looked at him curiously. Adrien seemed to be the boss, and his two followers should be his secretaries. Why could they sit in the first row? ¡°Mr. Higgins! It¡¯s really you!¡± Hester saw Adriening to the first row when she was chatting with David. Adrien followed the voice and saw Hester. ¡°Ms. West, nice to see you. Yo, isn¡¯t it Ms. Olson? It turns out that Corestar Group also received the invitation to the auction.¡± Adrien¡¯s words were meaningful. On the one hand, he exined that his invitation card was not from Corestar Group. On the other hand, he hadn¡¯t expected that Lilianne woulde with Celia. His words made other people know what Lilianne had done at once. ¡°Oh. Mr. Higgins, nice to see you here.¡± Lilianne managed a smile. ¡°Is this your secretary? What¡¯s her name?¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Higgins, I¡¯m Celia.¡± ¡°Great. Youe with your secretary instead of me. Ha ha, it¡¯s cool. I also take my subordinates here. This is my butler. Sylvia Earp, and this is my assistant, Darcy Earp. ¡°Nice to meet you. I¡¯m Mr. Higgins butler. Sylvia Earp.¡± Hester found that Sylvia looked very familiar to her. ¡°Excuse me. Are you the butler of Mr. Harold Brooks in the Brooks family in Sunrise City? Hester asked. After Hester asked this question, all the people in the first two rows quieted down and looked at Sylvia in surprise. The Brooks family was ranked first among the four families in Sunrise City. It was said to be a very ancient and huge family. Nobody knew how rich it was. The assets it had were at least worth trillions of dors. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Did we see each other before?¡± ¡°Oh! It¡¯s really you! I met you a few times with my teacher in the Brooks family when I was an intern in Sunrise City. But why are you working for Mr. Higgins? I remember the Earp family has been working for the Brooks family for generations.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tell you the reason. Mr. Higgins is capable and also has a great background. Wise people will choose a better boss. It¡¯s my honor to work for Mr. Higgins.¡± Sylvia¡¯s words made Hester more curious about Adrien. Now Adrien had the highest position in Hester¡¯s heart. ¡°Is Mr. Higgins from the Higgins family in Trified?¡± Hester blurted out. Sylvia shook her head, while Adrien didn¡¯t hear what Hester said. Lilianne, who heard the conversation between Hester and Sylvia, was regretful. She finally realized how stupid she had been. It was a piece of cake for Adrien to solve the problem of herpany, but she had ignored Adrien many times and kept a cold attitude toward him. She didn¡¯t even know Adrien was actually the boss of herpany! ¡°Hello,dies and gentlemen, good evening. Wee to the auction tonight. I¡¯m the host, Derek Nash¡­. The auction began. Adrien sat in the middle of the three seats and asked in a low voice. ¡°Sylvia, what should I buy at such an auction?¡± ¡°Mr. Higgins. I personally suggest you should buy more antiques. Of course, you don¡¯t have to if you have a lot in your house Antiques aremon assets for a big family. Many rich people collect them and pass them to next generation. A big family needs the effort of at least three generations. ¡°Well, I¡¯m also interested in antiques. I¡¯ll buy as many as I can.¡± Guided by Sylvia, Adrien bought all the 12 antiques at very shocking prices. Nobody else bid for them, because all the people in the first three rows had known how powerful Adrien¡¯s background was, so they kept silent when Adrien offered the prices. It was reasonable. Even Adrien¡¯s butler was from the first family in Sunrise City, which meant Adrien was very rich and powerful. Nobody thought they could win Adrien. Of course, they didn¡¯t intend to check Adrien¡¯s identity, because they were sure they would get nothing. The mysterious family would cover its members¡® true identities. Perhaps one of its members was just an ordinary employee in an ordinarypany but one day he or she would show shocking wealth.. Adrien bought 12 antiques and spent more than seven million dors. When he paid for them, there was a warning from the System. ¡°The auction won¡¯t upgrade the System.¡± Adrien didn¡¯t care about it. His purpose was to collect antiques, not to upgrade the System. After paying for the antiques, Adrien didn¡¯t buy anything else likend or jewelry. He didn¡¯t like them at all. At the banquet after the auction, a lot of people came to Adrien and greeted him, which made him a little tired. Fortunately, Sylvia was an expert in this field. She could deal with those people easily. Lilianne and Celia stood next to Adrien. Lilianne wanted to say something. ¡°Ms. Olson, Mr. Higgins is just there. What are you waiting for?¡± ¡°Celia, you can¡¯t understand my feelings. I did something wrong.¡± ¡°What do you mean. Ms. Olson?¡± ¡°After Mr. Higgins bought thepany. I didn¡¯t take him seriously and didn¡¯t regard him as my boss. Instead, I disobeyed him many times and asked other employees to disobey him. I didn¡¯t know he was so wise that his decision brought great benefit to thepany, and neither did I know he had such a powerful background. Corestar Group received the invitation of the auction, but I didn¡¯t give it to Mr. Higgins. Now I have to ask him for help. It¡¯s so embarrassing.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Celia also had no idea. Adrien felt bored when he stayed here with nothing to do. He left quietly when there was an opportunity. ¡°Sir, we have told the host the address of your house. They will send the antiques to Wonders Apartment as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Great. Thank you, Sylvia. But I will not attend such banquets anymore. It¡¯s so boring. Those people just tter me with hypocritical faces ¡°Ha, it¡¯s normal, sir. I just saw the two from Corestar Group seemed to have something to say, but they didn¡¯t say it.¡± ¡°Corestar Group is falling. I will sell its stocks tomorrow and won¡¯t help them. If Lilianne had asked me at the very beginning, I would have helped her. After all, I¡¯m the boss of Corestar Group. But she just hid it from me and didn¡¯t give me the invitation card to the auction. It seems that she doesn¡¯t take me seriously, so why do I have to help her? That smallpany doesn¡¯t mean a lot to me at all. ¡°You are right, sir.¡± The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
