Willy nodded his head. "Yes, I'm the man wearing the red hat. I want to thank you for helping me back then. Therefore, I want to repay your kindness, even if it's just a little bit. And I feel that I can be friends with you, Dakota."

Dakota didn't answer right away. He didn't expect that Willy was the person he had saved back then. This was an unexpected coincidence. Dakota smiled slightly at Willy's words of wanting to be friends with him. Of course, this will bring good luck to Dakota, and Dakota can take advantage of Willy with Willy's background, who is the son of the regional official.

Dakota nodded his head with a slightly wide smile while patting Willy's shoulder lightly again. "Of course. The two of us can become friends and meet more often, and maybe on occasion, we can work in groups together on assignments from lecturers."

Of course, that made Willy happy. "You really don't mind being my friend, Dakota?"

Dakota answered quickly with a nod of his head. Willy and Dakota shook

    Everyone there was surprised by the lecturer's arrival. The fight between Brian and Dakota ended. Moreover, the lecturer is indeed known as a scary lecturer after the Proker lecturer.The students who were there began to whisper in the silent atmosphere full of shock. "Oh my gosh. They are in big trouble now. Mr. Godart will not hesitate to suspend them."Several people nodded in agreement. "Just watch, one of them will get that punishment."Godart approached them with a sharp gaze. The man with a thick, half-grown moustache was girded at the waist with several files in hand. "How dare you fight on campus. What do you want to be? Rogue students with no future!"Dakota and Brian were silent. They all knew how sharp Godart's words were. His thin lips, covered by a thick mustache, were so smooth in saying such harsh words that even some lecturers and teaching assistants had received harsh insinuations that pierced the heart when heard by everyone on campus, because just like Proker who w

    Dakota opened his eyes, a frown on his face as he felt the pain in his head. He tried to get up and sat on the edge of his bed. He thought maybe his head was hurting from the effects of the accident he had a month ago. But he did not know it was terrible at all. "I won't complain about the pain too much because, of course, the current situation is better; the accident changed my life for the better," Dakota muttered under her breath.He walked up from his bed and started to get ready. Dakota's schedule today was to earn money. It sounded simple, as if he just needed to look for it on the streets and collect it, but this time, he would make money simply but with a bit of fun. Dakota will use his abilities to make the money he wants.His destination is the Silver Bar. A famous betting parlour in his city, where people would try to guess the numbers from various guessing games or think who would win from the two players fighting in the arena.The place was unfamiliar, but he could learn

    Dakota's smile spread across his face. He felt a little satisfied with successfully registering after the series of registration requirements he had fulfilled. He then looked for the most suitable place on the spectator podium; he chose his seat enthusiastically because he didn't want to get a view from an unsuitable distance. In this match, he tried to get a good position that could show the side of the arena clearly."Let's see," Dakota exclaimed softly as he gazed at the arena featuring his two matches.Before the game started, the visible commentator introduced the two players to the arena. To the west stood the fighter named Mike, while to the east stood the Jackson player. The two of them stare at each other intensely; from the look in their eyes, they seem to be cursing at each other until the atmosphere between them looks very intense.After watching, Dakota also felt an adrenaline rush, was a little less satisfied, and a little anxious about Mike's posture, which he thought w

    "Not this one." Dakota shook his head, his eyes immediately turning to the other rows. "This isn't it either."Dakota stood before the self-service counter, his eyes busy staring at the row of sweepstakes in vouchers near the cash register. Since morning, he had been going to the nearest convenience store to where he lived to find the lottery numbers that would win this month. His eyesight had already helped him find the serial number of the lottery that would come out, he had made sure his prediction was getting better. That's why he was so excited. But since earlier, he still hadn't found the lottery voucher he was looking for."Hey, how long are you going to look at it?" The man lined up behind him and reprimanded Dakota.Dakota glanced back momentarily, seeing that the queue behind him contained only a man and a woman. "In a minute," he replied, smiling faintly at them.The man snorted in annoyance. "You've been standing there doing nothing. You think we have enough time to wait f

    "Please give me this one." Dakota pointed at the Voucher he wanted to buy more specifically. He saw that there were only a few vouchers left, and he was relieved that she didn't come too late.But feeling relieved, his heart was beating a little fast as he realized that if she didn't find the supermarket because he noticed the boy running away, then he wouldn't find the supermarket either and lost the chance to win the lottery.The woman behind the counter just looked at the box after Dakota pointed it out. He didn't pay much attention. And sure enough, he took the coupon voucher carelessly. It made Dakota look at her with widened eyes.Dakota rejected the Voucher that the woman took out of the box. "Not that one, but this one!" His voice raised, his finger pointed at the wall of the transparent box, then tapped it repeatedly on the side where the Voucher he wanted to put.The woman frowned. She looked at Dakota strangely. "It's all the same. There's no difference." The woman replied

    "We're going to start calling out the winning numbers, so viewers at this time make sure you pay attention to the numbers of your gift vouchers." The voice of the female host on the broadcast announcing the winning numbers of the lucky draw vouchers could be heard from behind the television in the living room of Dakota's house.Dakota immediately ran, he took the box where he kept his Voucher. He opened the wooden box and placed it on the table in front of the television while his eyes stared intently at the television screen. "Ah... it feels thrilling even though I already know the final result." He placed his hands on his chest."First number, nine." The woman started naming them, and Dakota scanned the numbers on his Voucher sheet. "Then, seven, eight, seven, five, one and three, nine and the last number." The woman hangs up her words, and she does it on purpose. A typical TV station show to keep the audience curious. "Two."Dakota again confirmed his hearing by looking at the tele

    "You should have remembered our past!" Ghea exclaimed loudly as she saw Dakota trying to leave her. But Dakota kept walking away until Ghea followed her. "I'm an important part of the past for you, though."Dakota frowned at the word 'important' that Ghea said while he was the one who turned their situation into a mess. In the past, Ghea might have been an important figure to him that he didn't want to hurt. But now, Dakota could only remember the betrayal that Ghea gave her.He only remembers the pain she gave him at the end of their relationship. If he tries to recall correctly, he was also quite tormented while their relationship was going on. But because of his love, Dakota endured his pain. He ignored what Ghea did to her during their time together."Even though I made the mistake of cheating on you, during the time we spent together, I was once your happiness. I did good things for you. I just want to ask you for a favor." Ghea, who was tired of keeping up with him pace, walked

    "What is this? Why is the news like this?" the aunt stared at the screen dumbfounded.The news they prepared and presented to the media to attack Dakota suddenly turned around and attacked them. Moreover, the news exposed their family's confidential matters."It is known that the family of the O'connor family heir's adoptive father before returning to the O'connor family treated the heir with bad manners." The man presenting the news spoke loudly with the news. "They took the money from her father's death insurance without giving any of the money left to Dakota."They were dumbfounded, looking at each other. Not understanding how it could have happened. They had no idea that news about themselves would be exposed to the media. They weren't necessary, so they didn't think the press would target them."How did they find out about that?" They were stunned. Even Dakota didn't know about her adoptive father's insurance, and his will wasn't read in front of her. She hadn't received any supp

    "What the hell is Dakota doing to us?" Said the uncle, who was currently on the side of the road not far from Dakota's company.They were all forcibly evicted by the security guards and threatened to be reported to the authorities if they were still there. So, with the people forced to leave, they looked disgruntled and upset."I don't accept what he did to us." The aunt coaxing Dakota with her sweet words now showed her true face. "She can't just kick us out."The people strolling and blocking the other pedestrians seemed to be very indifferent to the other people. They walked and stopped, walked and stopped again without caring.There were three women and two men, but none cared about Dakota.The woman who had blonde hair and looked younger than them looked at her brothers with a similar look on her face. "He can't be allowed. We must teach Dakota a lesson." The woman privatized hi,."Lesson?" The woman who approached Dakota earlier turned his attention to the woman. "What do you me

    "Dakota, you're such a joker." The woman, whose face looked shocked a moment ago, now turned soft. She chuckled while patting Dakota's arm.But Dakota had a different expression. He ignored what the woman was doing and just glanced at her with her gaze looking down because they were quite short and too close to her.The woman touched Dakota's hand like she was used to doing that every time she met Dakota. She didn't seem awkward at all, even though to Dakota, what she was doing was a nuisance.The woman's eyes widened, and with her face as friendly as possible, she spoke, "You are very easy to joke with. I can tell that you're a good person." She complimented Dakota, flicking her gaze towards the others, and the men greeted the woman's words with pitched exclamations. "After all, we're the ones who took care of you when you were little. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be in this place right now." She spoke with pride."That's right!" The others exclaimed. "We are the family that too

    "I told you to let me in!" Snapped the man, Dakota's uncle, while Dakota's status was unknown.Because the news about Dakota circulated across the country and appeared in the newspapers, people who recognized Dakota recognized Dakota's picture, which was only taken briefly because the O'Connor family still guarded his identity.But for people who intersect with her, of course, Dakota's silhouette is so easy for them to recognize. Therefore, the uncle is currently in the leading company owned by the O'Connor family to find Dakota."Sorry, but you can't come in." The guard at the building's main door blocked his uncle Dakota's attempt to break in.Since they were so insistent on getting in, they seemed normal at first. But when asked what their purpose was and if they had made a schedule to meet, the people, instead of answering argued to be allowed to enter.The man with slightly bleached hair near his ears brushed off the guard's hand. "I told you I was his uncle! Didn't you hear me?"

    "How could this be Dakota?" The voice of a woman in the crowd on the street, staring at the street billboard that showed an announcement about Dakota.The woman stared wide-eyed at Dakota's appearance, which had changed 180 degrees from the Dakota she once recognized. The woman tightly clenched her hand that held her bag tightly, her eyes did not move from where they were, listening to the news being aired all over the country.She was Gea, the woman who rejected Dakota's love five times because Dakota was just a poor man. Gea used to really dislike Dakota because of Dakota's poor status. She was upset that a poor man like Dakota dared to like someone like her.But now, Gea seemed frustrated to know the truth. "I should have just accepted it back then." She regretted it. "If I was with him, my life wouldn't have been possible like it is today."She grumbled in annoyance, her past suddenly came back into her head, she remembered the figure of Dakota who used to like her but she rejecte

    "I heard that there are many guests coming today." A glamorous woman in a dress cut low on the chest spoke to a man before her.The man nodded. "Yes. I saw from the guest list that the guests invited by them are three times more than the guests they usually invite." The classic-looking man responded.Many people dressed in luxurious clothes in the ballroom of the residence occupied by the O'Connor family as one of their leisure homes.They wore hand oes, clothes, and jewelry from world designers with limited items. They seemed to enjoy the party even though the main event had not started.Their conversations varied, ranging from simple greetings by those who rarely met because they had their own busy schedules, talking about business and what was trending among the upper-class people, to talking about their respective lifestyles as show-offs."Almost everyone who comes to this place is critical." In the middle of the party, the other guests were observing the guests.The woman with br

    "I got a lot done today." Dakota stretches his shoulders in the spinning chair before the computer screen.A few days ago, James had given him various assignments that suddenly became jobs he had to take care of and learn about.Starting with learning about their family tree, the company run by their family, and the people involved with their family, all Dakota learned because of James' orders to him.James wanted Dakota to know that as a basis, then after he understood it, James made Dakota tour each of their subsidiaries, but Dakota was there to accompany him and look around.For a whole week, Dakota's schedule was packed with things James had in mind after observing him. Dakota still remembers that just when he thought his schedule was over, James said, "It's time to introduce you to the public. You've prepared everything you need to know, and now it's time for you to emerge as the heir of the O'Connor family.""I have prepared the guest list. Mr. James said you need to look at it

    "Hands off!" she snapped at the officer loudly. "What are you doing?" he looked panicked and worriedly at Dakota. "Sorry I came late, sir."All of them looked shocked and couldn't believe what they saw, especially the manager and the security guard, who recognized the man with the cane as their senior officer in the mall. The man was the highest leader of their branch mall. He was the managing director.The manager looked nervous. He read the situation and tried to realize what was happening. "Mr. Director, what are you doing here?" he looked confused. "Don't you have an important meeting today? Why can't you?" Those questions came to mind.As he said them one by one, he was like getting the scattered puzzle pieces and being able to put them together clearly, then his face turned anxious and panicked looking at Dakota.He looked at Dakota with a fierce look. "No way, so he owns this mall, like he said? he's not lying?" the man thought to himself.Dakota glanced at him with a slight sn

    "Come to the watchdog room section. Some people are giving me a hard time in this place," Dakota said right after their call was connected."You're currently at the mall, sir?" the voice on the other end sounded panicked. Without giving Dakota a chance to answer his question, he spoke again, "Yes, sir, I'll be right there." He ended their phone call. He ended their phone call.Dakota contacted one of the highest-ranking staff in the mall. It was true that Dakota did have the largest share there. But he did not run it and take a position as one of the board of directors there because his work was already too much, and he just wanted to take his profit opportunities.Being an investor for them was much more flexible because he couldn't divide his time while he had a lot of work.As their call ended, the woman looked at him with a laugh. "What are you doing? Who did you call?" She chuckled. She really couldn't believe that Dakota was the one who owned such a big mall.Even being one of t
