......Rohan turned to the person, his annoyance evident in his tone.This was his very first car, and he had carefully examined other models before settling on this one.Now, someone dared to claim that the car he had already decided to buy was his."Who are you, sir? The car you're pointing at is the one I've already decided to purchase!" Rohan exclaimed, his face contorted with irritation.The middle-aged man with a beer belly and a gold digger on his arm stood before him."How is that possible? I had my eyes on that car and was planning to buy it today. How can it suddenly be your turn?" the beer-belly uncle arrogantly retorted, as if he had reserved the car and intended to buy it later."Mr. Klint, I'm sure you're well aware, but I'll remind you once again that this car arrived today. So, when exactly did you choose it and decide to buy it?" the lady standing beside Rohan interjected, her displeasure evident in her tone."Hahaha! What I mean is, when I say a car is mine, it's mine. What can you do about it?" the beer-belly uncle replied with an air of arrogance."Please keep your arrogance to yourself and don't throw your weight around here, even if your brother is the general manager!" the lady retorted, her voice cold and unwavering.'Ohh, that's why this bastard is acting so arrogantly!' Rohan thought, finally understanding the reason behind the beer-belly uncle's obnoxious behavior."Hehe, since you're well aware that my brother is the general manager of this branch, why are you acting so rude towards me?" The audacious bastard had the nerve to look at the lady standing beside Rohan with a contemptuous expression, causing Rohan's temple to twitch."Ohh, let's make a bet then, shall we? I wonder if I can buy this car today or not!" Rohan said with a playful tone, devising a brilliant plan to teach this scoundrel a lesson."What? You, a poor wretch, want to buy this car right in front of me?" the beer-belly uncle arrogantly pointed at Rohan's face, while Rohan kept his anger in check and maintained the same mocking smile on his face."Ohh, is Mr. Klint afraid of betting against poor little me?" Rohan's words were dripping with mockery, causing the beer belly uncle to tremble with anger and shame."You... how dare you! Who do you think you are? Let's make the bet!" The bastard took the bait, and Rohan smiled inwardly."Fine then, whoever loses will have to pay an amount equal to the cost of this car to this lady. How does that sound, Mister? Or are you getting cold feet?" Rohan suggested the stakes of the bet with a provoking tone, ensuring that the bastard wouldn't back out for fear of losing."How dare you mock me! Let's bet! I want to see how a poor wretch like you will manage to pay for the car!" The beer-belly man, feeling insulted by Rohan's provocations, accepted the bet."Alright then, just don't back out after you lose!" Rohan said with a smug smile, which only managed to annoy Mr. Klint even more."I will bear witness to this bet," the lady sighed, seeing the argument escalating but choosing to trust her judgment that the unassuming young man was no ordinary person."Please prepare the car papers!" Rohan turned to the lady, flashing a confident smile and gesturing for her to get the necessary documents, implying that he had already won the bet.The lady brought out the machine and initiated the transaction, while Rohan registered his fingerprint.A few seconds later,"The transaction of $470,000 is successful!" the mechanical voice of the machine echoed."What... this can't be possible!" exclaimed the man with a beer belly, his gaze shifting from the machine to Rohan's face, which now wore a smug expression.Mr. Klint appeared shocked and bewildered, as if unable to believe what was happening.Had it not been for the machine audibly confirming the transaction and providing a clear receipt with the amount stated on it, he might have questioned the authenticity of the machine itself."Hehehe! Mr. Klint, surely you're not considering running away from the bet, are you?" Rohan turned to the uncle with the beer belly, who had been on the verge of making a quick escape but froze upon hearing Rohan's sharp, mocking voice."Mr. Klint, surely you won't go back on your word, right? I might consider your brother's integrity and never do business in this branch in the future!" Rohan didn't give him a chance to make excuses and continued with his provoking words.By mentioning his brother, Rohan made the beer belly uncle flinch."I-I won't go back on my word!" The beer-belly uncle gritted his teeth, seething with anger as he directed his words toward Rohan as if he wanted to devour him alive.............

............"Miss, I never got your name!" Rohan addressed the lady, realizing that he hadn't asked for her name before."Sorry, my apologies for not introducing myself sooner. I am Mera Ward!" The lady introduced herself, hearing Rohan's question with an awkward tone. She also felt a tinge of embarrassment for not mentioning her name earlier."So, Ms. Ward, please tell me your account number so we can settle the bet!" Rohan said, eyeing Mr. Klint who was fumbling with his phone, likely trying to contact his brother. However, Rohan didn't care about that."Mr. Klint, can you settle the bet now, or do I have to go to your brother and share this embarrassing moment with him?" Rohan's voice carried a hint of disdain and mockery."Here, done!" After Ms. Ward provided her account details, Mr. Klint transferred the same amount as the car's cost, which was $470,000."You will regret messing with me today!" Mr. Klint glared at Rohan, issuing a threat, and then left, dragging the gold digger

............As Rohan glanced at the six Tap Points, a realization struck him. "If I recall correctly, I can enhance my mental and physical abilities and even acquire new skills," he pondered. However, uncertainty clouded his understanding of what exactly these improvements entailed. Would his body and mind truly be enhanced upon allocating these stats? With these questions lingering in his mind, he decided not to hastily allocate the points just yet."For now, let's set that aside and focus on upgrading my wardrobe. I'm tired of being looked down upon due to my inexpensive clothes," Rohan muttered as he stepped out of his luxurious new car."Wow, welcome, Sir!" Before he could locate someone to watch over his vehicle, a guard dressed in a formal attire approached him, clearly taken aback by Rohan's arrival in such a lavish car.Nevertheless, the guard greeted Rohan with a face filled with admiration. "Hello, are you a guard here? Could you please keep an eye on my car for a while

Rohan grimaced, feeling a slight ache in his head, but it subsided within moments.After the Wealth Tap System finished transferring the first aid skill into his brain, he found himself equipped with a wealth of knowledge on how to handle various emergency situations."Please make space for the old man! I will administer first aid. Someone, get me a toolkit if you have one!" Rohan stepped forward and shouted at the crowd, his frustration evident as they seemed more interested in spectating than lending a helping hand.Despite his anger towards these bystanders, he couldn't afford to waste time on them.He positioned himself next to the old man and assessed the severity of the injuries, realizing they were more severe than he initially thought."Here's the toolkit, and thank you for stepping forward to help!" The college girl, who had been the first to offer assistance but lacked the necessary knowledge, handed Rohan the firs

Rohan and Riya asked as they saw the doctor emerge from the room after performing emergency treatment on the old man."Hmmn, he was fortunate that someone performed first aid in time; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived today. As for now, the treatment is over, and the old man is most likely going to recover after some time!" The doctor said, making Rohan and Riya exchange glances but deciding to keep quiet about the fact that Rohan was the one who treated the old man.After conf

............"Hello, Earth to Mr. Johnson!" Riya suddenly called out, snapping Rohan out of his dazed state."Huh, what...!" Rohan looked at her with a confused expression, wondering what had just happened."I noticed you've been looking a bit spaced out since you sat down. Are you feeling tired or is something bothering you?" Riya asked, concerned, as she studied his face."No...no! I'm fine," Rohan replied, shaking his head to assure her."By the way, aren't you sitting a bit too close?" Rohan noticed Riya's face just inches away from his, and his eyes unintentionally drifted down a little, catching a glimpse of her necklace."Ohh, sorry!" Riya quickly moved back to her seat, feeling a bit embarrassed.'Now that I look at her carefully, she's quite cute!' Rohan silently commented, appreciating Riya's appearance.Riya Samul was dressed casually yet stylishly, and it perfectly complemented her adorable looks.Riya wore a soft, pastel-colored top with a subtle floral pattern, which be

I never thought you'd want to become a boss-type lady," Rohan said with a surprised expression, trying to sound funny.He was also impressed by her capability. Willowbrook School of Business isn't your average college; it's highly specialized for students who aspire to become big businessmen, entrepreneurs, or managers. The success rate is only 40%, so getting into the college is tough.Riya must be a genius or at least a hundred times better than Rohan, who couldn't even get 10 marks in the entrance test."What... do you mean I won't be a good boss?" Riya looked at Rohan with a playful smile, giving him a bit of a stink-eye, which made him stop joking."Hahaha... It's just a joke, don't take it to heart!" Rohan nervously laughed, trying to ease the tension created by Riya's smile.'Damn, that face is not cute at all,' Rohan thought to himself."Shhhh....!" Sud

His very presence dominated the room, and even someone as powerful as Mord knew he had to show respect.“So, you were sent by Elias Kurovsky? You’re so weak!” the man finally spoke after giving Mord a brief glance. He shook his head in disappointment, his voice carrying a hint of disdain.“Master Dragorin, please don’t worry about my strength. I may be weak, but I’ve built a strong network in these lands. With it, I can help you accomplish your task easily,” Mord replied calmly, despite clenching his fists tightly. His tone was confident, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.Mord had heard from his brother Elias that the Dragorin family was searching for some traitors who had escaped. They needed his information network to track them down, and that knowledge made Mord confident. He sneered inwardly, thinking, *No matter how powerful you are, you still nee

If it comes to a fight, things could get ugly fast."Rohan leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. The Dragorin family were no ordinary opponents—they were dangerous, cunning, and deeply entrenched in the power struggles of the hidden Martial world. A direct clash with them could lead to consequences far beyond their control."We need to be prepared," Rohan said after a moment, his tone more serious. "If we’re going to confront them, we can’t afford to underestimate their strength. Otherwise, we’ll be the ones to lose.""Agreed," Ade replied, his eyes narrowing as he considered the power of the Dragorin Hidden Family. "We need to gather all the intel we can and be ready for anything. The moment they make a move, we have to be ready to strike without hesitation."Rohan nodded, already thinking through strategi

It's what they have backing them that makes them so arrogant... and we're not in their league to criticize them." Ade looked speechless at Rohan's direct and cold words, even though he agreed. He knew they were nothing special compared to those arrogant piece of shits.As Ade was lost in thought, Rohan was mulling over the information.'How should I handle them? I'm not sure why their activity is getting closer to Willowbrook City. Are they here for the Turner siblings? Even if that possibility is slim, I need to make sure these arrogant guys don't get close to Willowbrook City,' Rohan thought, speculating why the Dragorin Hidden Family decided to send their men to all the neighboring citie

............Ade nodded and sprinted towards the door, while Ravi stood guard to prevent any other gangsters from escaping.The fight was already over except for a few men who came with Hans Schmidt. They stood, looking at Rohan with murderous intent while helping Hans to stand firm.As Ade sprinted through the side door, he followed the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the dimly lit hallway. Arman Mace's shadow flickered in the distance as he rounded a corner. Ade quickened his pace, feeling like he was chasing a mouse, and a grin formed on his face.Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Rohan advanced on Hans Schmidt. The remaining gang members, though outnumbered and exhausted, stood protectively around their leader. Rohan's eyes flickered as he thought about how to get information from this trash and dismantle the gang so they could never regroup."You think you can still walk away?" Rohan said, his voice calm but firm. "I've already given you a death sentence, so don't even thi

He was not pleased with Arman's attempt to buy time. Even Ravi could see that Arman was just trying to keep them busy with his trash talk. "Fine, you asked for it." Arman, with a disgruntled expression, noticed his phone ringing. Understanding what this meant, he smirked at Rohan and his group. "Get back, Ade. We have a guest who seems to have just arrived!" Rohan, who was keeping a vigilant watch, noticed a few other presences outside the warehouse. Seeing Rohan's warning and vigilant expression, Ade instantly moved back beside him. Arman picked up the phone, his smirk widening into a sinister grin as he answered. "Right on time," he muttered, his eyes never leaving Rohan's.

Rohan counted and looked back at Ravi for an answer."They should be patrolling other areas or maybe collecting money from the vendors," Ravi replied after thinking for a moment, checking the time. It was his guess based on the usual activity his team had observed from the gang."Hey, you fuckers, I'm talking to you! Are you ignoring me?" The gangsters who had thrown bottles on the ground glared at Rohan and his group, feeling ignored. Anger flashed across their faces."Crash...!""Fuck it, let's teach them a lesson!" Another group of five stood up, throwing their bottles too. Ten gangsters advanced towards Rohan, Ade, and Ravi."Damn it, they think we're weaklings!" one of the gangsters muttered angrily. Feeling humiliated by Rohan's dismissive attitude, they lunged at him, who was standing at the front."Swiish... Bam! ... Ahhhh...!!""Crash... Thud... Thud...!!"Just as the gangsters lu

She felt that words alone weren't enough to express her gratitude and wanted to invite them to dinner sometime.Although she was poor, she knew how important it was to be thankful after being saved from such a dangerous situation.If Rohan and Ade hadn't arrived when they did, who knows what that gangster might have done to her."It's alright.

Anshika looked at Rohan's face, hearing his words, unsure where to start explaining her situation that led to her current predicament.She became emotional as she remembered why she followed that portly man despite knowing he had no good intentions.At twenty years old, Anshika’s mother had suddenly been admitted to the hospital due to a stroke. Coming from a poor family of two, both mother and daughter relied heavily on each other, so she was in distress, needing urgent money for her mother's treatment.By chance, she met a portly middle-aged man who offered to pay her mother's hospital bills in exchange for doing something for him.
