Chapter 8

“As long as this place is not a restricted area and a shopping mall for everyone, I have the right to come in and shop for whatever I want.” He shunned them immediately, looking annoyed.

“Oh really?” Anastasia laughed, cuddling on Richard.

Before him, they shared passionate deep kisses and hearty words.

“Well, Madam. I would advise you not to sell anything for this poverty-derailed man, except if you want to sell on credit or have someone run away with your goods.” Anastasia yapped in disgust.

“I won't let you try to ruin my name!” He said.

“See who has a name!” Richard cursed. “You are nothing but an abandoned useless man who has no job or money. Ana is right, it's either you buy in credit or steal their product just like how you stole your father's money!” Richard added in disgust, obviously trying to piss him off.

“I didn't steal my father's money! The case has already been resolved so don't share a half-baked rumor!” He defended himself.

“Young man, please leave this mall before I call the management.” The mall attendant's voice found its way back to their conversation.

“I'm shopping here and that's final!” He gritted his teeth.

He rolled his eyes over to his mockers, and he saw Richard trying to purchase a quality purse for Anastasia.

“I saw this purse with Selena Gomez and I heard it's the last one on sale. I want it.” She urged him, planting kisses on Richard's cheek.

Richard looked further and when he noticed Maximus was watching, he smirked.

“Sure, anything for you, baby.” He agreed and gave the purse to her.

[WARNING: 1 hour left to accomplish first mission] The robotic voice came up, followed by a short blaring sound

[PUNISHMENT: - $2 million and -20 Beauty] The robotic voice informed him.

“Fine!” He took the blue tuxedo suit and it's a complete set with him and went to the counter.

When the receptionist saw him, she smirked and rolled her eyes.

“I thought you left already.” She snorted, firing at him.

“Not yet. I want these.” He said, placing his selections on the table.

“Do you know how much those outfits are worth?” She laughed. “Take a look at yourself and know your worth!” She bashed at his face.

“It seems you all are good at downgrading someone even before screening the person.” He shook his head.

“Why wouldn't you be downgraded when you look like a rag?” Anastasia laughed as she walked to the counter with Richard.

Their arms were filled with new outfits, bags, and shoes.

“Please get off, let's pay for ours.” Anastasia snorted.

“No, I'll pay for mine.” He disagreed.

It was time to step up in the game and stop being trampled on by everyone, including strangers.

Anastasia and Richard were taken aback by his boldness as he shoved them away and placed his outfits on the table.

“If you can't pay for this, you will hate me.” The receptionist snatched the outfits and checked in for the prices.

“Your bill is $4.3 million.” The receptionist said in a tone that clearly showed that she knew he could never pay for it, now work the magic or prepare to get kicked out.

“I will pay with my card.” His statement shocked all of them.

“What's going on?” Anastasia whispered, as her face suddenly grew cold.

“I… my apologies for how I sounded last time… sir.” The receptionist's tone suddenly changed which shocked both him and the others.

“What?” He almost smirked, giving her a long look.

“Is that how you do here? Polite to rich people and rude to poor people.” He raised a brow, staring at her in annoyance.

“We… we are usually not like that.” She stammered.

“My card.” He requested sternly and her hand trembled as she gave him back his card.

“Thank you very much for patronizing us….” The mall attendant said, lowering her face.

He turned to his old friends, who looked shocked and couldn't say a word. He gave them a long look as he attempted to leave.

“Sir, would you love to visit our lounge and cool…” The receptionist was trying to curry favor but he snobbed her and left the mall.

Everyone exhaled.

“Tell me this is not true.” The mall attendant faced Anastasia.

“I thought you said he was a useless, broke, and debt-filled person?” The mall attendant questioned, curling her lips.

“Well…” She was lost in words, as she cleared her throat.

“It's obvious that he had stolen his father's mother…” Richard joined in the conversation.

“Or, his parents must have pitied him. He can never have such money. I know him.” Anastasia adjourned, nodding his head.

“Sir, your payment was unsuccessful. You don't have sufficient funds.” The receptionist broke the silence and Richard swallowed hard.

Could it be that his mother had frozen his card again? Because he has been spending her money all these while since he had no funds on him.

[Congratulations!!] Immediately the robotic voice announced, his phone made a beep sound.

He took it out and was amazed by what he saw.

“[Credit Alert: $1,500,000 Sender: TYSXXX]”

“Wow!” He jumped up.

What was happening? Was this a dream? No, no one would believe this.

He could actually earn REAL money from a system?

“Wow!” He gasped again, clouded with excitement and disbelief.

He was on cloud nine as the past encounter also amazed him.

He had made over $6 million from just accomplishing different missions.

But one thing bothered him… he wanted more… he wanted to accomplish more… he wanted to show his family that he was better… he wanted to excel greatly.

[NEW MISSION: Get a luxurious flat worth $2 million] The robotic voice broke his train of thought. He hadn't been able to speak when it continued.

[REWARD: $10 million, a surprise expensive car worth $100 million and +30 cyber knowledge] It said.

[PUNISHMENT: Framed and Imprisoned for 1 year] It continued.

[DEADLINE: 2 days] It said conclusively and he sighed.

“One year imprisonment? Never!” He shook his head seriously.

“Wh..where can I get an extra $500 from?” He mumbled, rubbing his chin.

[Mission has been accepted by User!] The robotic voice announced.

“No. No, I didn't agree to anything…” It seemed it was too late as his time started counting.
