............"Riya and Emily, I'm coming in!" Rohan announced and entered the room."Hey, Brother Rohan, this is our first time meeting. I invited you over, but then this happened!" Emily's smile lit up as she saw Rohan's face.She hugged his arm and expressed her disappointment about missing out on dinner."Don't worry, you can invite me later once you've become a top streamer." Rohan smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind. He hinted that she would rise to the top and become a famous streamer."I'll definitely invite you next time, even if I don't become the top ranker!" Emily grinned upon hearing Rohan's understanding words. She resolved to ensure no interruptions next time."Anyway, Riya and Emily, let me drop you off at your college entrance. It might get chaotic if we stay here any longer," Rohan suggested. He anticipated that once the staff or other students learned about the incident, things might spiral out of control."Sure, sounds good." Riya and Emily
............In the Evercare Hospital,"How's my son, Doctor Wallace?" a plump woman in her late forties inquired as the Doctor emerged from the operating room."Don't worry, Lady Victoria. Your son is doing well. He'll need a few weeks to recover," Doctor Wallace replied, his tone soothing."Thank you, Doctor Wallace!" Lady Victoria expressed her gratitude, wiping her eyes as she spoke.She's Lady Victoria Tanaka, Kaito Tanaka's mother. She's also the sister of the current head of the Tanaka family.Her rich auburn hair is carefully styled, and she wears exquisite jewelry, showing her love for all things lavish.Although she rushed over upon hearing about her son, she still managed to apply her makeup before coming.Victoria, being the daughter of the prestigious Tanaka family, carries herself with an air of pretentiousness, flaunting her lineage at every opportunity that she gets.Today, she's showing humility due to her son's situation, and she's careful not to upset the doctor wh
............Next morning, "Ah, what a wonderful day!" Rohan stretched in his garden, taking in deep breaths of fresh air."Here's your warm coffee!" Mia arrived with a steaming cup of coffee and handed it to Rohan."Wow, it's even better than yesterday. Your coffee-making skills keep getting better!" Rohan complimented after taking a sip."Thank you, I tried something different today and it seems you really enjoy it!" Mia replied with a slight smile."Haha! Perfect," Rohan savored the coffee while sitting in the shade under the umbrella."Hey, Jake. Why do you keep changing the design of those pretty grass patches?" Rohan inquired, noticing Jake once again adjusting the grass layout."Hahaha! I'm just practicing my skills and experimenting with different designs to find the best fit for the garden!" Jake chuckled and explained as he continued his work."Well, okay. Just make sure you're not wrecking the garden!" Rohan turned his attention away and returned to enjoying his coffee.A
............"Congratulations, Mr. MelodyAdmirer! Your account has been upgraded to Tier 4 VIP status. Being the first to send so many top gifts to a single player, propelling them to the number one spot in the popularity ranking, you are now eligible for the first prize from PerformStream!" With a grin on his face, Rohan read the lengthy message, feeling like he'd won the lottery."Hehe, let's see how much the prize money is!" Rohan continued scrolling."Wow... they're actually giving me a share of the profits from PerformStream's own site!" Rohan was taken aback by this discovery.How could he not be? No one typically offers shares as rewards.Here, PerformStream was granting him 5% of the platform's profit shares."5%, huh, I wonder how much this will amount to. I don't think it'll be a small sum." Rohan pondered about the potential earnings."It says the money has been deposited into my account!" Rohan read the notification.Just as he was about to access his status panel, the s
............"Let's have a drink first," Rajiv paused his thoughts and went to a bar he saw along the way.He parked the car and went inside the bar."Hi there, bartender. Can I get a strong drink?" he asked and took a seat.The bartender said, "Sure thing, coming right up."There were only a few people in the bar beside him."Hic...hey, buddy...!" A slightly tipsy man nearby greeted him."Hello!" Rajiv responded warmly.The tipsy man said, "You seem friendly. Can I sit with you?"Rajiv replied, "Of course, take a seat." They both sat down."Hey bartender, one more!" he asked for another drink, and then he offered one to the man."So, what's your story?" Rajiv inquired."Well, the name's Gary. Just relaxing with a drink after a long day, you know?" the slightly tipsy man replied while introducing himself."I'm Rajiv. Nice to meet you, Gary. Cheers." Rajiv introduced himself as well. They clinked their glasses and took a sip."You know, Rajiv, you and I, we're both on the plump side,
............"No, but I had a really unpleasant meeting with this person," Kazuki said with a frown."Oh, is that so?" Feeling disappointed, she lost interest in knowing about the unpleasant moment."Why are you checking the information?" Kazuki asked."Not much, I was just going to give him a piece of my mind for daring to hurt my son," Victoria Tanaka replied."Really?" Kazuki looked at her with a sly smile, hearing her words.He had been trying to locate this guy for a while now, as he also needed to teach him a lesson for causing trouble last time."Do you know someone who can take care of this troublemaker for me?" Victoria asked, uncertain about how she'd like to handle the situation."Leave it to me, Aunt. I know someone who can help you teach this brat a lesson," Kazuki replied, thinking he could use his aunt's name to deliver a lesson without having to involve himself."That would be great, then!" Victoria smiled, watching footage of Rohan with a cold expression, as if she w
............Two hours before the evening,Rohan sat in his room within his villa, his mind racing. "What do I do now? I don't have enough money to go through with the deal," he muttered to himself, his worry growing as the time for his meeting with Priya Jensen drew near.[Ding...Task Triggered...[Task: Spent 10 million like a true spending maestro, be like a true millionaire.[Time Limit: 1 hour[Reward: 100 Million] "Oh, thank you... System!" Rohan exclaimed as he stared at the sudden prompt screen, a rush of emotions welling up within him.He felt a sense of being cared for by the Wealth Tap System, and he genuinely conveyed his gratitude.Putting jokes aside, he swiftly refocused his thoughts on the impending task as the time limit caught his attention."Right, I haven't completed the full payment for the villa yet," Rohan recalled, reaching for his phone and dialing the number of the housing salesman."Hello, Mr. Johnson!" greeted the salesman, Arjun Maverick, as he promptly
............At present, "Hey, you look different today!" Priya Jensen, Sofia Bauer, and Rohan were sitting at a different place than their office, enjoying some "Velvet Brew" coffee.Rohan accepted the compliment with a smile, saying, "Thanks, I put some effort into dressing up!"Priya Jensen chuckled, saying, "Hahaha! You're not very modest, are you?"Rohan finally recognized the coffee he was drinking and said, "Hmm, isn't this the famous 'Velvet Brew' that everyone talks about?""Yes, it's a fancy drink around here," Priya Jensen nodded proudly. A single serving costs half a million."I remembered some words an old man from my town used to say," Rohan suddenly recalled the words of an elderly person."Oh, what did he say?" Priya Jensen and Sofia Bauer both became interested."Velvet Brew, rare and delicious, like a treasure so fine,Picked by hand, stardust's touch makes it shine.In a crystal glass, with gold so divine,A taste from the heavens, a luxury that's prime.""Wow, Mr
............The man seated on the plush couch was a man from the Dragorin hidden Family, a figure of immense power and influence. 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
............Ade nodded, a grim expression settling on his face. "Exactly. The Dragorin Hidden Family isn’t known for backing down easily. They’re powerful, and they know it. 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
............"Ehh...really!" Riya and Priya looked at each other with incredulous look, wondering why did they not notice that."You really forgot to look at the report, didn't you!" Sofia Baur look at Riya and Priya with twitch in her temple thinking these two really became spendrifts."About that, Sister Riya. It's about time to call our irresponsible Boss, shouldn't we." Priya said with raising corner of her mouth thinking only option as to how they can solve fund problem."Ahh... Rohan, should we...?" Riya hesitated, unsure of how to express her concerns. If they didn’t have more funds, they wouldn’t be able to complete the upcoming projects."What are you so worried about? Didn't he say before that if we needed more funds, we could just contact him and he'd transfer what we need?" Priya replied, noticing Riya's anxiety. She wasn’t the least bit troubled about calling him. After all, she was just an employee, and there was no harm in asking their boss for financial support.Priya
............"How should I know what those arrogant shits are thinking? I just hope they don't enter Willowbrook City, or I might have to do something about them!" Rohan shrugged, his words turning cold."Hey... hey, Rohan... my man, you should know those arrogant guys aren't just any average men. 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
...... ...... "Like he said, we are not interested. So, care to tell us where your gang leader is?" Ade stepped forward, clearly annoyed, standing in front of Arman. 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 and Ade exchanged wary glances, both tense and more cautious at the change in Arman Mace's face. The atmosphere inside the warehouse g
............"1...10...30....55... Hmm, there are not that many here. Where might the rest be?" 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
............"Thank you again, Mister, and you too. Please, let me show my gratitude sometime if you have the time. Here’s my contact info!" Anshika Kumari bowed and thanked Rohan and Ade once more, offering her phone number to Rohan. 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. We'll call you when we have some time. Now off you go. That nice lady will drop you off wherever you need to go. And make sure you don't follow any shady uncles next time, alright?" Rohan smiled gently, noticing the little lady's smile, a stark contrast to her earlier crestfallen expression."Mmm... see you next time, Mister. Farewell for now!" Anshika Kumari nodded and said goodbye to Rohan and Ade before being g
............"Okay...Ms. Kumari, can you tell us how you ended up here? You know this place is very dangerous and filled with gangsters like those guys over there!" Rohan asked the girl pointed at the two pigs lying on the floor, wondering what her story was and what kind of situation led this girl to this dangerous place."I...!" 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. With no other choice, s
