2024-10-29 19:42:56Suddenly, another woman hugged Ace and pushed Lily, causing Lily's embrace to break.
"You move! You don't deserve to hug Ace," she exclaimed angrily. She wanted to feel the embrace of a wealthy man.
The push was forceful enough to make Lily stumble and fall to the floor.
Lily was surprised; she hadn't realized she had been hugging Ace for too long. "Why did you push me?" Lily glared, not accepting it.
Ace, too, was surprised by the embrace of another woman, a sexy woman with a slightly curvy body. He felt comfortable in her arms.
[THE MADNESS OF THE NEW WOMAN HUGGING YOU HAS INCREASED BY 1 PERCENT.]
Ace contemplated the metallic voice of the wealth system in his mind. 'What does the wealth system mean by my cold attitude towards Lily? But Lily seemed a bit infatuated when I bought her the limited edition silver bag,' his inner voice pondered.
"Hey, Rebecca! It's time for us to go. Come on!" He shouted, and Rebecca turned and smiled, nodding.
Rebecca left with her co-workers, followed by Nathan.
Ace breathed a sigh of relief when the embrace finally ended. It seemed that the woman had only admired his cool demeanor a few minutes ago before Rebecca came and slapped Nathan.
Lily stood up, hugged Ace again, and apologized. "Ace, forgive me. I didn't know Agatha's true nature was so bad now. Will you forgive me?" She felt guilty for befriending Agatha, who had a selfish and self-indulgent nature just to fulfill her shopping desires.
"And, did my actions earlier not harm you? Or do you feel better now that you silenced Agatha?" Lily looked up at Ace, her gaze unwavering.
Ace shook his head. "You don't need to apologize, Lily. Because Agatha doesn't deserve sympathy. It's pointless for you to pity her; Agatha will never change," he let go of Lily. It turned out that Lily was worried that she might have felt disadvantaged after buying the most expensive silver bag and 20,000 items because she had answered Agatha and Nathan's questions about whether he had suddenly become a millionaire.
"Ace, can I get closer to you?" Lily asked hopefully. She knew Ace was a good guy, but she also wanted to be closer to him. It would be a shame if such a good man as Ace were wasted and not felt happy and appreciated.
[LILY'S MADNESS LEVEL HAS INCREASED BY 20 PERCENT. GOOD JOB!]
Ace nodded. He smiled, now he understood why the metallic voice wealth system in his mind was more inclined and chose targets like Lily.
"Yes, of course, we can get closer," Ace felt happy in his heart. At least he wouldn't be alone without a friend; with Lily around, he could chat and enjoy himself.
Lily thought about Ace's words. She was genuinely happy, and her heart was filled with butterflies. It meant that Ace was willing to accept her as a friend or even more. But she didn't know what tomorrow would bring.
[YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH LILY IS NOW 62 PERCENT!]
[WE WILL GIVE YOU A MONETARY OFFER IF YOU WISH. AS A TOKEN OF OUR GRATITUDE.]
Ace smiled broadly. This was truly unexpected!
It turned out that the metallic voice wealth system had many surprises when he had spent the money given earlier. And now, he would receive money again. All of this was because of Lily's involvement.
Ace fell silent, agreeing in his mind. 'But did I spend the money for myself?' He wondered.
***
In a clothing store, Lily urged Ace not to wear the yellow Cleaning Service uniform anymore.
"Ace, I'll help you choose the right clothes. Don't wear that uniform when you're not working as a Cleaning Service anymore. You don't know about good fashion," Lily browsed through neatly hung clothes. She inspected the patterns and colors.
Ace remained silent, watching Lily's enthusiasm in choosing clothes for him.
Then Lily picked up a light brown shirt and dark brown trousers.
"This one, the color is nice. It's my favorite color. Come on, try these clothes in the fitting room. Is that okay? You can be honest if they're too big or small," Lily handed the shirt and trousers to Ace. She walked ahead and showed him the fitting room where Ace would try them on.
Lily waited; after a while, Ace came out and smiled broadly.
"These fit me perfectly, Lily," Ace said happily.
"Okay, let's go to the cashier. And pay for your clothes," Lily led Ace to the cashier counter.
As the cashier scanned the prices, Lily was about to pay.
Ace stopped Lily's hand. "Let me pay. Thank you for choosing nice clothes for me," Ace took out his bank card. He handed it to the cashier and swiped it in the credit card machine.
The cashier said, "The total is $1500," she wrapped Ace's shirt and trousers in a paper bag, folding it neatly and handing it to Ace.
Lily was shocked. It turned out that Ace could still afford to pay for his clothes even though the amount wasn't as much as it was at the mall earlier. "Wow, Ace. You can pay for your own clothes. I was willing to pay for them," Lily admired Ace. Ace was truly a cool guy.
[LILY'S MADNESS LEVEL INCREASED TO 10 PERCENT.]
"You will look handsome in them, Ace," Lily praised. Ace was indeed handsome; he just looked a bit tired and sweaty, but it didn't matter because Ace was a hardworking and diligent man.
Ace realized that he had spent quite a bit of money today. First, the silver bag for Lily, then useful items in the mall totaling 20,000 units, and finally, he bought clothes in a famous store.
'Was I showing off? Haha, if I was, it would be pretty cool. Oh well, I've never been this happy,' Ace spoke in his mind.
And Lily had spent some of her money when she paid for the silver bag from Ace.
'Even though you bought me the silver bag, the money is still not enough. I'm proud of you, Ace. It's okay; I spent $200,000 just for the silver bag to shut Agatha up and stop underestimating you,' that's what Lily said in her mind

In a women's dormitory, Lily returned to her room.Lily found Agatha sitting and drying her hair.Lily felt a bit concerned for Agatha. "Agatha, are you okay?" she asked cautiously, knowing well how shattered Agatha's heart must be right now. Being deceived in front of everyone was very painful, especially when the one deceiving her was the person she loved the most.Agatha turned to her. "I'm okay, Lily," she sighed wearily. "I'm really grateful to Ace. Without Ace, I wouldn't have seen Nathan's true nature. Oh, my annoying ex-boyfriend. Nathan is even worse at lying," she smiled with a wounded heart.Lily sat down next to Agatha, embracing her friend's shoulders. "Be patient, Agatha. All of this happened because God wanted to reveal who Nathan truly is. So, before your love gets too serious and before marriage, at least you know that Nathan is not the right man."Agatha daydreamed. "I thought Nathan was a wealthy man. But I was wrong; all his money comes from his chubby girlfriend.

Switching to a men's dormitory. Ace had been shopping all day, and he felt very tired."Ever since I spent so much money, everyone's been paying attention to me. Should I continue spending even more?"Ace shook his head. He walked slowly, pondering what else could make him spend a lot of money, and the wealth system adding bonuses as a form of gratitude. "Ah, no. I want to try a different approach."As Ace walked along the dormitory corridor, he met three men."Hey! That's Ace!""Wow, Ace! Your appearance has changed drastically, hasn't it? You're even wearing expensive clothes?" Tammy criticized Ace, looking him up and down. She assessed Ace's classy and luxurious appearance."Tammy, don't jump to the conclusion that Ace bought expensive clothes. Do you know he works as a Cleaning Service?" the others commented."Yeah! Maybe the clothes Ace bought are fake, I mean, just imitating the brand. That's the most expensive, like 1000 dollars.""Oh, I know! He bought clothes that look like e

Ace continued to walk towards his room.Ace closed the door, leaned back, using a cushion for comfort as he relaxed for a moment.

"I'm really thirsty. My throat is dry from the heated arguments with my boss and my ex-girlfriend," he drank until the bottle was empty.Ace sat back down and checked his phone, realizing that the MATE HAUNT app had finished installing.Ace created an account, registering with his phone number.Next, a username field appeared.

And the price of the supercar that Ace purchased is $55,000. The gleam of the supercar displayed on Ace's mobile phone screen made Olivia and Tammy scream with excitement. They laughed happily as they received two generous gifts they had never imagined before. (Olivia: If this person keeps giving us big gifts, we could get rich!) Olivia exclaimed enthusiastically. She had even forgotten the name of the beggar discussed by the commentator on her own live stream. KingComment praised Ace's username, saying that whoever they were, male or female, they were an extraordinary and amazing person. Compliments began to flood the comments, but Ace didn't respond. "Huh, it's that easy to grab a woman's attention," Ace nodded in understanding, now he understood why women were so happy when it came to money and wealth; it's no wonder Agatha cheated.

Ace sat at a roadside bus stop. The scorching sun made him seek shelter and sit for a while."Where should I look for a job?" Ace was puzzled. In the past, he was offered a job by Nathan because his boss was a friend on social media, and Nathan kindly accepted him to work at the company, even as a cleaning service officer. Ace didn't mind the salary; the most important thing was that it covered his daily expenses.Ace took out his phone. He typed the latest job vacancies for the week via the internet.(LOOK FOR A MANAGER POSITION)Suddenly, the metallic system's voice instructions startled Ace, who was concentrating."What do you mean? Managers are usually experienced. I've never applied for that position, let alone worked as a manager. Please don't disturb me!" Ace's inner voice was slightly annoyed. He had low expectations of landing a top position at a company. It seemed impossible since his previous experience was limited to being an office cleaning service personnel.Ace refocuse

His voice trembled; he couldn't be alone without Rico, even though there were still other friends at the orphanage.Rico tried to be strong, wanting to cry but not wanting to show his sadness in front of his younger brother, Ace. Rico's hands tightly hugged Ace. "I'll always come back for you. Big brother promises not to leave you alone here, okay?" Rico's hands wiped Ace's teary eyes."Rico, let's go home," a woman carrying an elegant handbag pulled Rico's hand, taking him away from Ace.Rico didn't know the reason he was chosen for adoption without Ace's participation."We're only adopting one child.

In the meeting room, Rico pointed to an empty chair at the back."Sit there, Ace," Rico said.Ace nodded, feeling a bit nervous as everyone stared at him."Do these people not know who I am? Oh, right.

Ace arrived at a cellphone store, his eyes gazing in amazement at the bustling shop.Three female salesclerks welcomed Ace."Welcome to our cellphone store," a black-haired woman with a friendly smile said to Ace."I'd like to purchase three flip phones. The first one in black, the second in white, and the third one in black as well," Ace requested. His words were light when mentioning the items he intended to buy, considering that flip phones were typically expensive. Fortunately, he could afford them, despite his recent mishap with mistakenly clicking on an internet notification."Wow! You're buying a lot of phones, sir," one of the salesclerks marveled. Ace was a wealthy and remarkable man.Ace held back his smile. Just buying three flip phones had already made the women swoon under his charm."Do you already have a girlfriend?" They flirtatiously asked, winking at Ace.Ace didn't respond. 'What's the point of having a girlfriend? It's a waste of time. There's no use in dating if y

Now, it suddenly dropped drastically."(BECAUSE THE CALCULATION OF THE DIAMONDS INCLUDES OUR ASSETS)(IT CAN BE CASHED OUT AND EXCHANGED)Ace's wealth system in his brain spoke up again, which eased Ace's mind. He had thought he had drawn too much money, especially for buying the limited edition necklace for Tammy.Ace sent a message to Agatha. He still had her ex-girlfriend's number, but he archived Agatha's chat. There was no chat history from their romantic relationship, everything had been deleted, including photos and videos of Agatha.Memories of the past were erased from his phone and Ace's memory."I will go to your dorm.

(WAIT 3 MINUTES. WE WILL ISSUE A DIAMOND)Ace growled in frustration. "Hurry up! I need that diamond as soon as possible.""How about it, sir? Are you ready to pay 15 million dollars?" The jewelry store clerk asked, sighing tiredly as she waited for Ace, who remained still, not reaching for his wallet or money."Sorry, wait for me for just 3 minutes," Ace forced a smile. He also couldn't afford to pay for that necklace. There were no millions in his wallet, just a few small coins. He hadn't received his paycheck from his current job yet."Alright, sir. We'll wait for you," the clerk nodded.1 minute and 30 seconds passed, Ace checked the running timer. He was about to receive one diamond."Where are you giving my diamonds from? A hidden person?" Ace asked in his mind.No answer, only the sound of a machine processing something."Are you sure he can pay 15 million dollars?""I'm not sure. He doesn't even have a wallet.

After the party ended at 7 PM, some of the employees chose to go home.Ace was still confused about the function of the 5-diamond item he had just received from his $100 million wealth system."Was she your boss before?" Rico asked after Ace sat down. He hadn't heard the conversation between Nathan and Ace.Rico was surprised when Ace kissed a woman without feeling embarrassed.Ace nodded. "And the woman I kissed earlier was my ex-girlfriend," Ace replied, his heart pounding as his lips landed on Agatha's."Hmm... you're quite brave. Kissing an ex in front of everyone. Do you still love her?" Rico asked seriously, noting that men often forget women quickly and find replacements in no time.Ace shook his head. "I'm focused on work now. I want to make myself happy first. Relationship issues can wait.

Ace stood up and walked toward Nathan, who was already waiting for him. He wouldn't be afraid of the challenge that Nathan was about to present to him.Nathan clapped his hands. "You're great, Ace! Hosting a party at the most expensive hotel. You truly are a tycoon," Nathan said in amazement. His applause was so loud that it drew the curiosity of several onlookers.Ace remained silent. He was, in fact, lazy and reluctant to accept Nathan's challenge. But since the wealth system would provide a diamond item, he reluctantly agreed to the challenge."By the way, I'm fed up with Agatha. So, I offer her to you again and to my friends," Nathan said with a sly smile, knowing that Ace would likely react with anger and resentment because Agatha had once meant a lot to him.Hearing the word "offer," Ace's mind instantly boiled. He clenched his fists tightly. "Agatha is not that kind of woman. Don't offer her to any man," he said, not willing to accept it. Agatha appeared to have no value in Nat

"All the employees here, I invited them all," replied Ace calmly. It was time for Ace not to be embarrassed and think about financial problems in his wallet. Now, there is a wealth system that provides money for fun.Laughter echoed in the room; they still couldn't believe that Ace was going to throw a party for all of Rico's office employees.'Ace, are you selling the gold I gave you? If so, you'd better ignore those insulting words. Unfortunately, you sold the 50-gram gold,' Rico's heart spoke. Ace had changed a lot, from being quiet to now daring to confront anyone who would belittle him.***To prove that Ace's words were true and not just empty talk, Ace took them to a luxurious 5-star hotel."Wow, this is the hotel I want to visit.

The man grinned smugly. "Letting you go?" He asked with a mocking tone, glancing at Ace dismissively.Ace nodded wearily. He was out of breath because of this. "I-I didn't take George's position. A-and my position is just temporary. Y-yes, for 2 weeks," Ace stuttered. Speaking was difficult for him."Even if it's just for 2 weeks, don't get too hopeful about replacing George!" He snapped angrily. He released his grip.Ace coughed, trying to catch his breath. "Believe me, I'm only temporarily the manager here," he said seriously and convincingly."If you're seeking attention and trying to outshine others, be careful. I won't let you go!" He issued a stern warning to Ace before leaving him leaning weakly.(WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT BACK?)Ace grumbled in frustration. "Fight back how? I had trouble breathing earlier!
