"Mr. Austin, you are now officially entitled to the property assets of Jonathan and Pricillia's three mansions, two corporate buildings, and four businesses."
Austin felt his hair stand on end after hearing the statement from the notary in front of him. After twenty years of living in poverty, working hard but never tasting money, this moment Austin was the owner of wealthy assets.
This was all too sudden.
Even Austin was still convinced that this was a dream. But time and again Austin tried to pinch his skin, it hurt. It's proof that the wealthy assets he has now are not a dream.
If Austin had gotten this wealth before his divorce from Ellina, would the two of them not have divorced?
"Austin, congratulations. Finally all these inheritance rights are in the right hands," said Rudolf who had been accompanying Austin and the notary.
Austin gave an awkward smile. "Ah, I... don't know what to say," he replied with a brief chuckle.
Rudolf patted Austin on the shoulder. "It's okay. You'll get used to it later, Austin. Now, tell me what you want?"
"I need to hide that I own these assets, Mr. Rudolf," Austin replied.
Yes, Austin had thought all night about his plan. To investigate more intensely into the environment of the parties involved in the project, narcotics, Austin could not be the same rich figure.
"If I become a rich man, they will feel reluctant to me and be wary of me. I want them to feel safe, to think of me as someone who can't do anything," Austin continues to explain in more detail.
Hearing Austin's statement, Rudolf, who was initially confused and surprised, finally nodded in understanding. Rudolf watched Austin for a moment, confirming his belief.
"When my identity is hidden, you can remain the CEO of the company, Mr. Rudolf. But please do not tell anyone that I am the owner," Austin said again, explaining in more detail.
"If that's what you want, fine. Mr. Charlie, you can take care of it, right?"
Charlie, Rudolf's go-to notary, nodded obediently. "I can, Mr. Rudolf. I will do that."
Rudolf's gaze shifted to Austin who smiled with relief. Rudolf held Austin's right shoulder.
"Now you must live your life to the fullest, Austin. After this, your life will change."
Austin already knew that. But he didn't answer and just agreed. His brain was now thinking about how to start the undercover plan.

[New Mission Alert!]
[Pay off your bank loan debt and take back your confiscated property]
[Mission Reward: 500+ Point Level, Unlocked Skill Punishing Kick, USD 80,000,000]
When the mission appeared on the holographic display screen, Austin was somewhat surprised. Austin looked around to make sure no one was there.
"Why does this mission have to appear while I'm working?" Austin complained as he let out a rough breath.
From behind, a woman opened the door to the office boy's room that was not closed tightly. The woman immediately knocked on the door to wake Austin up.
"Austin. Mr. Bernard has called you to the VVIP meeting room," the woman said. "Bring Dutch tea for his six guests now. Don't be late!"
Austin gasped and turned his gaze to the woman behind him. He quickly nodded his head obediently.
After the woman left the room, Austin immediately went to the company's exclusive cafeteria. The cafeteria was reserved for the company's CEO, directors, managers, and other exclusive guests.
Austin bought Dutch tea at one of the fancy counters in the exclusive cafeteria. It took him twenty minutes before he finally left for the VVIP meeting room.
Knock! Knock!
When he gave three knocks, the door of the VVIP meeting room opened. Austin immediately entered the room with a tray of Dutch tea.
"Hey, Austin! This is the Dutch tea order we've been waiting for!" Bernard exclaimed brightly upon seeing Austin's arrival.
"Woah, Bernard! You understand us well enough to serve us such a fancy dish!"
Austin's steps instantly stopped after hearing a familiar voice. The direction of his gaze immediately turned to the side, and to his surprise he saw Ellina with Jack. They were sitting on the VVIP guest meeting sofa.
It wasn't just Ellina and Jack. There was also Simon, Petra, and Rudolf. One of the people who caught Austin's attention was Vernanzo.
'They're all gathered here,' Austin thought.
Austin actually didn't expect that Rudolf would gather with them. But he held back his curiosity as Rudolf silently made a hand gesture. Inviting him to pretend that they didn't know each other.
"Austin! Why are you just standing there like a fool?!" Bernard snapped at Austin suddenly.
Startled, Austin immediately rushed to the seats of the VVIP guests. Austin handed each guest a glass of Dutch tea one by one.
"Please drink, sir," Austin said as he handed a special cup of Dutch tea to Simon.
Simon looked at Austin both dimly and sharply. He looked at Ellina who sneered at Austin's existence.
"Please forgive my office boy. Between all the office boys, he's alert but often has sudden daydreams," Bernard explained.
"Maybe he was surprised to see us again," Simon replied with a dismissive smile. "No problem. Some people like him didn't want to work very often."
Austin tried to contain his annoyance when he heard Simon's words.
"Yeah, but at least he's the only obedient office boy. Very easy to command like a submissive dog," Bernard replied with a chuckle.
Just then Austin arrived in front of Rudolf to give him a cup of Dutch tea.
"Hey, you can't think of him as an obedient dog," Vernanzo retorted. His tone was calmer, but his gaze was as sardonic as his smile.
"He's more worthy of being called like that. Mr. Bernard, don't be so mean," Vernanzo continued. Although his words were defensive, his tone sounded deliberately sarcastic.
Austin realized that Vernanzo was being insulting. Unfortunately, his tone was more subtle.
"Why not? He always do everything that I told him! What else deserved nickname for him other than obedient dog?" Bernard said, give his mocking laughter.
"You make him feel stupid, Mr. Bernard," Petra retorted with a mocking laugh as well. "Although indeed... being willingly ordered around and enslaved by a boss is an actions of an obedient dog." "He has to be an obedient dog because he needs the money. Right, Austin?!" Bernard taunted with a lopsided laugh. Austin turned to Bernard. Without showing his annoyance, Austin nodded his head with a slight obedient bow. "That's it! You see? He's very obey what I say!" Then all the VVIP guests laughed, except Rudolf. "That's why I don't want to associate with low-life people like your office boy, Mr. Bernard," Vernanzo retorted. "They're willing to make themselves into obedient dogs who do everything they're told just to make a profit." "Mr. Vernanzo, don't state the facts so much!" snapped Petra. "It's true, isn't it? Hey, Austin-your name is Austin, right?" Vernanzo called out to Austin, causing Austin's eyes to wander. "You willingly obeyed your boss's orders for money, right?" V
"I have never committed any act of embezzlement of Malibu Gety Restaurant funds!" Austin tried to contradict the police who investigated him.At this police station, Austin sat opposite a police officer as a suspect in the embezzlement case. While beside him were two men who looked relaxed as if they didn't feel guilty.The two strangers claimed themselves to be witnesses about Austin's actions. They believe that Austin has found evidence of money transfers with abnormal amounts."If it wasn't you, then where did the money appear in your account?" asked Jordan, the police detective in front of Austin."Money?" asked Austin confused.Austin hadn't checked his cell phone at all. That's why he didn't realize there was money in his account."I don't know what money you mean," Austin replied once again.Jordan couldn't seem to believe Austin. He smiled sarcastically, then signaled to another cop. Soon the other cop came over with Austin's confiscated cell phone."Here, you can check it you
"Looks like your attempts at framing someone still suck, Simon," Rudolf said when met Simon at the police station.Simon was now forced to go to the police station for a confession. Moments ago, the manager of Malibu Gety Restaurant confessed that he received orders from Simon to frame Austin.This was expected Simon.Therefore, Simon came with Ellina and Jack. How surprised they were to see Rudolf who really freed Austin. They didn't even think that Rudolf knew Austin."How could you help that poor, useless man?" asked Simon guiltlessly.Rudolf didn't want to explain. Actually, he was hesitant whether to involve himself or not. Austin's request to conceal his identity made Rudolf worried that it would derail the plan.Unfortunately Rudolf's anxiety about Austin's situation was much greater. Rudolf has prepared himself to deal with Simon. Since finding evidence that the manager of Malibu Gety Restaurant was only deliberately framing, he had guessed Simon would be called to the police
"Mr. Austin Whisley Dalbert, you officially take back your restaurant property rights. Your remaining debt to the bank has been paid off," said one of the bank officers who finished removing the foreclosure attributes at Austin's restaurant.Austin reached out and shook the bank officer's hand. His smile curved in relief."Thank you, sir," Austin replied formally.The bank officer then left Austin and Rudolf's presence. After the bank officer's departure, Austin's gaze shifted to the building before his eyes.Austin watched for a moment, remembering that this small restaurant building was proof of his hard work. Since Austin could not reveal his identity and wealth, he had to start his personal business from scratch."I've only owned this little restaurant for years of hard work," Austin told Rudolf.Next to Austin, Rudolf looked at the simple building with a detailed view. Actually, although small, Austin's restaurant building design is quite eye-catching. It's just that some corners
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES."Uhh... ahh... you're so sexy, Darling!""Ahh... faster, Baby!"Austin's steps stopped after hearing a familiar female moan. In front of bedroom of the son of the conglomerate family that employed Austin, Austin being nervous. Was Jack making love to a woman?Jack, the conglomerate's son, was always bringing women into his bedroom and making love every night. All this time, Austin didn't care and tried to maintain Jack's privacy with women. But why this time, the sighing sound of the woman inside resembled Ellina - Austin's wife?Austin quietly moved quickly to his cell phone. His message to Ellina had not been replied to since this morning.The sighing sound in the room was getting louder. At that moment, Austin felt uncomfortable. His grip on the mop handle tightened as his strong emotions appeared. His gut feeling told him that the woman sighing was Ellina.Realizing the door was slightly ajar, Austin threw down the mop handle and broke dow

PRESS THE BUTTON OR SAY 'GUIDE' TO GET INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT THIS MULTI-INCOME SYSTEM]Austin was dumbfounded in disbelief reading the text on the holographic light screen in front of his eyes. The unfamiliar voice he had heard earlier had no human form at all. Austin blinked repeatedly to make sure his vision wasn't wrong."What the hell?" he asked, feeling like he was going crazy.There was no way that kind of money was being sent to him for free. Austin hadn't done anything to deserve that kind of money. Also, what kind of light was appearing in front of his face right now?The curiosity pounding in his chest made Austin immediately check his phone. Austin opened his account application, and then widened his eyes when he saw the number there.[YOU RECEIVED A FUND TRANSFER IN THE AMOUNT OF USD 100,000,00
Ellina felt very relieved now.In the midst of the gathering of her family and Jack's family, Ellina could not distance herself from Jack. Ellina really enjoyed being with Jack now and didn't need to think about how to get away from Austin-her ex-husband."I'm so relieved that my relationship with that poor man is over," Ellina said openly in front of her family and Jack's family.Jack laughed sarcastically. "I remember the ridiculous look on his face when he found us earlier. He was so angry with me, as if you were still going to be his.""Well done, Ellina! You shouldn't have stayed with that useless man any longer," Katherine, Ellina's mother, a well-known culinary businesswoman in this United States city, said. "I can't stand that you can't afford luxury items because your husband is a poor man.""That's right, Ellina. Why did you accept him as your husband in the first place?" asked Petra, Jack's father, a conglomerate with a property business.Hearing Petra and Katherine's words
"I didn't realize that Ellina's family was involved in my parents' death," Austin replied, still staring at the projector screen in disbelief."This is just my personal investigation over the years. Before your parents died, they were involved in this business," Rudolf explained, pointing to the picture of the narcotics project.Austin watched the projector screen in front of him for a split second."Did you find the evidence?" Austin asked.Rudolf nodded his head. Soon the image on the projector screen changed. This time, there were three images: three folders of documents, a photo of a number of people dressed in formal blazers giving a thumbs up, and proof of reservation for the VVIP room."The VVIP room reservation proof shows one week before your parents' death," Rudolf began to explain.When the three images appeared, Austin spontaneously leaned his sitting position while supporting his chin. Austin took a closer look at the picture of the VVIP reservation proof that Rudolf had
