In a café, a young man about 25 years old, deeply engrossed in his laptop screen, was suddenly approached by a server who said: “Sir, you’ve been sitting here for over five hours with just one cup of coffee. Could you please order something else or give up the table for other customers?” The young man looked up at the server, then around the café, which had only a few customers and several empty tables. It was clear they were tactfully trying to ask him to leave. Out of options, he was broke and couldn't go home where his wife's family always despised and looked down on him, urging him to be independent. If not for a project he urgently needed to submit to his boss, he wouldn’t have been at the café using their Wi-Fi like this. He looked at the server and pleaded: "Could I possibly have another half hour? I need to urgently finish this project and hand it over to my boss.” “Look, if you don’t have money, don’t come to a café and sit for half the day. And now you’re begging to stay
Anderson stares at his laptop, then looks around, as if he's the only one hearing this. The magical light emerges from his laptop, swirling around his head, turning into a transparent screen in front of him, displaying his personal information. The mechanical voice speaks again: “Meeting is fate, Host. As a welcome gift, the system grants you One Hundred Trillion USD legally, please accept it.” Soon after, Anderson's phone lights up, its long-ago cracked screen now healed as if it was never damaged. His bank balance shows a deposit of one million dollars, not the One Hundred Trillion as the system had mentioned. But as if reading his thoughts, the system says: “Host will receive rewards after each mission completion, starting with one million dollars, then ten million, maybe even one hundred million, a billion,... until the total gift amount reaches One Hundred Trillion USD.” This is... magical. The system, the rewards, things that seem like they only exist in movies, are really ha
Meanwhile, at the Harris family mansion. "Come over here, Caroline, let me get you a drink." “Young Master Lopez, I’d also like to offer you a drink. Thank you for helping Caroline secure the contract for my longevity celebration gift." said an older woman, dignified and elegant in her manner. She was Jennifer Harris, head of the Harris household, and Lauren’s grandmother. “This contract could bring over ten billion in profits to the Harris family! Let's have three more drinks!” Today, Caroline Harris, with the help of her fiancé Conrad Lopez, successfully secured a partnership contract with Pinnacle Dynamics. It was indeed a good day, and coupled with the celebration of Mrs. Harris’s birthday, it was truly a double joy, so they organized a family party to celebrate. “I apologize for delaying the fun and making everyone wait." Anderson said as he entered the room, apologizing. The laughter suddenly stopped, abruptly. Everyone looked at each other, nearly all sharing the same ques
"What are you saying? How dare you insult us?" Caroline nearly exploded in anger. "You might not be aware of Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. Just so you know, its market value exceeds a hundred thousand billion USD, making it the strongest enterprise in Lightharbor. Any family could reach the pinnacle of success if they could establish even a small connection with Pinnacle Dynamics!" "So many families bow down to Pinnacle Dynamics, for it is the emperor of this city's entire business world!" "Why bother talking to this loser? He's never even looked at the world around him. Do you expect him to understand?" Chase commented dismissively. "Hmph, maybe that's true. He came to my birthday celebration without even a gift, how could he possibly understand the importance of Pinnacle Dynamics?" Mrs. Harris finally spoke up. "Grandmother, I do have a gift. It's about to be delivered." Anderson said, then communicated with the system in his mind: "Is my gift arriving soon?" "In about five mi
The attitude of the partygoers became increasingly outrageous. Gregory couldn't stand the snobbish and disdainful attitude of the crowd and handed the jewelry box to Anderson, saying: "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Gregory Thompson, CEO of the Eclipse Prestige branch in Lightharbor city. Since Young Master Anderson purchased the Aurora Luxe necklace and paid immediately, I had to arrange for a quick delivery. Furthermore, as Young Master Anderson is an acquaintance of the chairman, I came to deliver and receive the item." "Alright, no need to say more. I've signed and confirmed it, you can go back." Anderson emphasized sternly, as if scolding Gregory for talking too much. Gregory, realizing he had intervened too much, quickly said, "Thank you, Young Master Anderson." Gregory Thompson finished speaking and turned to leave. At that moment, a chilling silence enveloped the room, everyone present was stunned. It took them a while to recover from their astonishment. "Clap
Lauren's brilliance had always overshadowed her since childhood, and as Lauren was always more beloved by their grandfather, Caroline harbored jealousy and hatred towards her sister. It was only a year ago that Lauren had to marry Anderson, a poor and useless man from a bankrupt family, and with their grandpa's death, Lauren's status in the family declined, giving Caroline a chance to seize the spotlight. "It depends on who the owner is. Even if Anderson were a dog, he would still be my dog. It's not your place to lecture him!" Lauren retorted. Anderson looked at Lauren in surprise. It was the first time in three years she had taken his side. Although her words were not pleasant, Anderson was deeply moved. "Oh, look at the owner of the dog, we have to see if the owner's status is worth showing up for!" Caroline, having just signed a lucrative contract, didn't bother to consider Lauren's feelings. "You..." Lauren, angry, her face flushed with emotion. "Alright, it was just an accid
After a while, everyone regained their composure and burst into laughter. "What's this joke now? He alone plans to organize a wedding?" "Wow, I bet he'll slaughter a huge cow for his wedding, I'm already drooling at the thought!" "The poor thing can't even afford a wedding ring, yet dares to say he'll organize a wedding a hundred times grander than ours?" "Just look, Lauren has been married for so long, but she doesn't even have a wedding ring to wear." "She'll become a bride again, just divorce this useless man and marry someone else. She's so beautiful, she'll definitely have opportunities. Otherwise, she'll just wait for the rest of her life." "By the way, my boss, Young Master Miller, has long fancied Lauren. If she really wants to be a bride, she can divorce him and remarry Young Master Miller." Conrad mocked and pointed towards Young Master, who had just invited Ye Tao for a drink. Hearing everyone's scornful laughter, Lauren's face turned red, then pale, and she wanted to
Lauren was so angry she was speechless. The man who couldn’t even pay his phone bill was boasting about organizing a grand wedding in Lightharbor? Without a word, she angrily handed her phone to Anderson. He took the mobile, went to a corner, and dialed a number listed by the system. This was the number of Fernando Lewis, his grandfather, and also one of the top three most powerful people in the country. Not to mention a small city like Lightharbor, even the whole country could be easily influenced with just a flick of his hand. Meanwhile, at the Lewis residence in Rose Quay city. A man in his seventies was leisurely reviewing a list, appearing both relaxed and dignified. This man was Fernando Lewis, the head of the Lewis family, and a significant influencer in Ivory Essence. Suddenly, his phone rang. He was quite surprised, as no one had called this mobile number in recent years. He only kept it in the hope that his daughter, who had been missing for over twenty-five years, might
Seeing Youssef lunging, Anderson swung a heavy punch right in the middle of his forehead."Ah…" Youssef screamed and was thrown backward."Bang…" His back hit the wall with a loud thud.Then his body slid down the wall to the floor, blood staining a section of the wall.Now his face was pale, devoid of any blood, lying crumpled on the ground like a dying dog, completely motionless.Catching sight of Anderson's swinging fist, the boss of the Fierce Tiger gang lay sprawled on the ground, Kelly was stunned!She thought to herself, Anderson, always regarded as ineffective, was a man of many secrets. It was unfortunate that Lauren was not here to witness her husband's fierce and heroic demeanor.In the eyes of many, the force of the Fierce Tiger gang was immensely fearsome, but in front of Anderson, they seemed just like a bunch of bugs, easily squashed.When she first heard that Mr. Timothy had been killed by this criminal gang, she thought Anderson had no chance of avenging his father. Y
Gregory was a three-star lieutenant. Someone like him couldn’t possibly accompany Anderson to such a dangerous place without bringing some backup!With this thought, Kelly felt much calmer."Want to come here for revenge? How many people did you bring?" Youssef asked arrogantly."To deal with small fries like you, why would we need many people to make a scene? Just the two of us are more than enough." Anderson said coldly.Kelly was surprised to hear this. How could Anderson and Gregory dare to enter the den of the Fierce Tiger gang alone without reinforcements? Were they too arrogant?"Haha, you two nobodies dare to invade my territory without help, truly as bold as if you were deaf to the danger! Your arrogance is irritating! If you want to die that badly, I'll grant your wish!" Youssef said, laughing maniacally."Let’s see who dies first! I will turn your Wonderland into a living hell." Anderson smirked."Fine! If you're capable, come here and kill me!" Youssef, wanting no more idl
"What have you brought me here for??" Kelly had never heard of any Wonderland Club, but as soon as she was brought in, she smelled the strong smoke and heard loud voices, guessing this was certainly not a good place."What for? Obviously, to have you work for us later on." Youssef sneered."Dream on, I'd rather die than work in a filthy place like this!" Kelly angrily responded."Of course, you wouldn't want to work here just yet, but after my guys record a few intimate videos between us, you’ll have to obey." Youssef laughed, clearly pleased with himself."I have no quarrel with you people, why do you want to harm me?" Kelly realized she was about to be violated and was completely cornered, but still wanted to try to prolong the conversation to look for a way to escape, so she continued to find something to ask Youssef.Kelly could never have imagined that she would end up in this den of evil; this was truly a horrifying disaster for her."True, there's no grievance between us, but m
In a large room at the end of the corridor, a man with a thick beard sat next to four other men.He was the leader of the Fierce Tiger gang, one of those involved in killing Timothy, the very man Anderson was searching for.Suddenly, several thugs pushed Kelly into the room, one of them excitedly said: "Brother Thu, look what we've just caught, a beautiful girl right off the street.""Good, quickly take off her hood and let me see." Youssef commanded.The subordinate immediately removed Kelly’s hood.As the hood came off, Kelly realized she was in a large, sealed room. A man with a scruffy beard stared intently at her, and a few other men in black stood around him.Kelly quickly grasped the gravity of her situation; she was terrified, trembling all over, and tried to scream, but her mouth was still taped shut.Kelly had never seen Youssef before; she did not know he was the notorious leader of the Fierce Tiger gang, also the murderer of Timothy – Anderson’s foster father.Youssef cold
But Anderson quickly waved his hand to cut him off: "Enough! No need to discuss it further! I've made my decision. Just follow it!""Understood, General Campbell!" Gregory had no choice but to comply with Anderson's plan."Moreover, to catch the big fish, I can't let anyone find out my true identity. So, tell the task force to alter my personal records." Anderson said."What exactly should we do, sir?" Gregory asked, frowning."It's not complicated, just ask the higher-ups to encrypt my information at the highest level and only show on the public records that I'm a regular special forces soldier." Anderson explained."Got it! I'll get right on it." Gregory said, then hurried off.At the same time, Tobias Obrien, Chairman of the City Law Council, received a call from the Cruz family asking him to investigate Anderson's identity.Tobias Obrien couldn't refuse a request from the wealthiest family in the city, so he personally looked into Anderson's records.After some research, he discov
"What is it? Tell me now!!" Anderson urged, anxious."I just received a confidential document sent from higher up." Gregory said."What confidential document?" Anderson asked, surprised."Our superiors also realize that this city of Lightharbor is too chaotic and facing many issues. Many people in key positions within the city's leadership are corrupt and of poor character. Therefore, our superiors have decided to establish a secret investigative commission." Gregory explained."So, it's about that. But I'm just a man who's been at war all year round, what does that have to do with me?" Anderson asked."It does! It's directly related to you. The higher-ups know that you are originally from Lightharbor, born and raised here. Currently, you are on leave at home. Therefore, they have appointed you as the head of the investigation team." Gregory revealed."What? I still have to work during my vacation? How can this still be called a vacation?" Anderson grimaced, clearly displeased."Broth
Anderson almost fell over backward, shocked that his kind and gentle Lauren could entertain such violent thoughts!"You're even considering hiring the underworld?" Anderson couldn't believe his ears."It's just a plan, don't shout about it!" Lauren whispered, regretting her slip of the tongue."The underworld or hired goons are unreliable, don't be deceived by them." Anderson said, starting to sweat. The Sentry Dragon Warrior was right in front of her, and she was still thinking of hiring assassins?"I'm just worried that if you keep acting rashly like you did this afternoon, you'll find yourself in danger sooner or later. Hiring assassins is the best way to both get revenge and avoid those bad situations." Lauren argued, clearly unhappy with Anderson's disapproval."Don't worry about revenge. This place is full of villains. You never know when you might be deceived. Hiring assassins really isn't a good idea!" Anderson said calmly."Fine! Then I won't interfere in this matter anymore.
As soon as the two left, the Cruz residence quickly descended into chaos. Tucker Cruz and Norman were both severely injured and immediately taken to the hospital for treatment.The guests invited to the party were terrified by Anderson's astounding power, and they were also shocked by his words as he prepared to leave. No one dared stay at the Cruz house any longer, to avoid getting involved.Ultimately, Mrs. Cruz's celebration was completely ruined by Anderson, with the masters injured and the grandson crippled. All the guests fled in fear.Anderson had indeed instilled immense fear and hatred throughout the entire Cruz family.After things settled down a bit, Mrs. Cruz immediately organized a family meeting to discuss countermeasures for the next seven days.......On the way back, Gregory asked confusedly: "Mr. Campbell! Was it okay for us to spare Tucker Cruz today and cause such chaos at the Cruz's? Why did you suddenly change your mind to let him live another seven days?""Soone
He knew Norman's strength, a man with fists as hard as iron. Since knowing him, Tucker had never seen him defeated by any opponent.Norman still couldn't find any opening in Anderson, but he couldn't just stand there forever, so he rushed towards Anderson's right side to punch him first.Immediately, quick as a gust of wind, Anderson moved aside to dodge the punch, while delivering a punch of his own to Norman's body!"Thump-----" the sound of the fist colliding with the body was distinctly audible.Followed by the sound of breaking bone "Crack----".Norman was suddenly pushed back, his right arm bending unnaturally.Meanwhile, Anderson still stood still, his right foot still stepping on Tucker, without any signs of being disturbed!Norman staggered back seven or eight steps before managing to stop himself with his feet.At this point, Norman's face turned pale. Apart from the broken bone in his right arm, his fingers were also broken. A part of the bone at the elbow protruded, and hi
