"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 look unkempt.
"You don't have much money to pay for the restoration of this building, do you?" replied Rudolf without taking his eyes off it.
Austin nodded his head. "Yes. The family who took me in kept asking for money, and I paid the rent on our apartment," he said, starting to tell a story.
After a moment of silence between them, Austin continued, "Since I married Ellina, I've also given my money to her. I try to be a husband who can provide for her financially."
"You must be exhausted because Ellina is a woman who loves luxury goods."
Hearing that, Austin just chuckled. He did not reply as the system's hologram screen appeared in front of his face. Austin was a bit startled, almost jerking back, but he tried to hold his body.

Austin then took out his cell phone to check his account. There, Austin can read the amount of money that has increased abundantly.
[Remaining Balance: $129,599,970]
Austin's mouth dropped open in disbelief. This was a huge amount of money! In his entire life, Austin had never seen this amount of money in his account!
'How is this possible? I didn't do anything big, but I got this much money!' Austin thought to himself.
Even though he had already inherited from his parents, this amount of money was still astounding. Austin still had to manage all his inheritance rights from scratch.
Because for years Austin did not know how his parents' company worked. Also, Austin does not have much knowledge to manage the company.
That is the reason why getting inheritance rights must be balanced with commensurate management knowledge.
His surprised reaction caught the attention of Rudolf who had been watching the restaurant.
"What's wrong, Austin?" asked Rudolf who had been looking at Austin worriedly.
Austin immediately looked back at Rudolf and realized that his reaction was excessive. At that moment Austin immediately shook his head while giving an awkward smile.
"It's okay, Mr. Rudolf. I was just... surprised to read that there was a description of the food promo menu," Austin lied back.
Rudolf didn't immediately believe Austin's words. He realized that Austin's gesture seemed to be hiding something. However, Rudolf decided not to prolong the topic.
"Gosh, you're hungry," Rudolf replied with a chuckle. "How about you start your business now, Austin? I'll be your first customer."
Austin thought he had heard Rudolf wrong. But after seeing Rudolf's reassuring smile, Austin couldn't help but laugh with relief.
"Alright. Welcome my first customer, Mr. Rudolf!" Austin welcomed Rudolf as if welcoming an exclusive unknown guest.

(10 Days Later)
It's been one week since Austin's restaurant opened to the public. Austin deliberately disguised himself as a waiter in his restaurant to monitor the progress of sales. Within one week, Austin's restaurant, which had received a building renovation, was slowly crowded.
Ever since Rudolf deliberately left a review of the restaurant, several people have tried to come. Austin didn't expect Rudolf to have such a big impact.
Today is Sunday. Austin was surprised that since the restaurant opened, the diners haven't stopped coming.
"Charlotte, two orders of French Mayo and Smoked Salmon combo side dish!" Austin called out to Charlotte who was the main chef at this restaurant.
Charlotte just gave him a thumbs up and smiled obediently.
Then when Austin had finished attaching the order papers to the hanging rope, Austin was about to return to guard. But it turned out that behind him was Kimberly, the woman who became the manager of this restaurant.
Because Austin didn't want himself to be exposed as the owner of the restaurant, he deliberately looked for a manager to manage. Rudolf took care of that.
Even Kimberly didn't know that Austin was the owner of the restaurant.
"The side dishes here are very popular," Kimberly says, her gaze twinkling with relief at the bustling restaurant.
Austin stopped walking. He looked in the direction Kimberly was looking, and smiled too.
"They seem to be crazy about the promo prices, Miss Kimberly," Austin replied without losing his respect.
Kimberly chuckled. "Who doesn't love promos? Ever since we introduced the side dish promo at the grand opening, the restaurant has been packed."
"Isn't the crowd also thanks to Mr. Rudolf's help?" Austin remembered that when the restaurant first opened, it was Rudolf who helped him gain popularity.
Kimberly nodded. "That's right. Mr. Rudolf had a hand in the restaurant's development."
Austin didn't answer again. This time Austin just paid attention to the crowd situation. It was such a relief to see his restaurant experiencing the same crowds as the first time he bought the shop.
"Oh, I forgot, we have a VVIP guest coming today," Kimberly said, warmly informing him. "This is the first time we've had a VVIP guest!"
Austin's eyebrows furrowed. "Who's the VVIP guest, Miss?" he asked.
Before Kimberly could answer Austin's question, there was a sudden tinkling of bells. A sign that a guest was coming through the door.
Kimberly and Austin's attention was immediately drawn to the source of the sound. At that moment, Austin's whole body suddenly stiffened when he witnessed the arrival of Ellina, Jack, Simon, Petra, Katherine, and Luciana.
"These are our first VVIP guests, Austin. Welcome them," Kimberly said giving orders.
In the midst of his dumbfounded state, Austin turned to Kimberly, wearing a confused expression on his face.
"I'm welcoming them?" What a silly question. However, Austin really didn't expect that he would have to face Ellina and Jack's family again.
"Of course. The other waiters are serving guests, Austin. You're the only one with time," Kimberly replied. "I can wait here. Bring them to me."
Despite his apprehension, Austin was finally forced to go to Ellina and Jack's family.
At first they didn't realize Austin's existence. But after Ellina patted Simon and pointed at Austin, Simon and the others immediately realized.
"Oh my, Austin!" Jack greeted him with a big smile. "Hey, idiot, do you have another job as a waiter now?"
Austin tried to contain himself at Jack's mocking sarcasm.
Arriving in front of them, Austin bowed in respect.
"Welcome, our VVIP guests. I am the butler who will help provide service to you," Austin said, introducing himself.
In front of Austin, Ellina and Jack's family smiled sarcastically. Their gaze condescended to Austin.
"Austin... my guess was right. In the end you remained a servant. No progress in your life. Poor you, Austin."
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
"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 g
"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
