Barry lived in a two-bedroom apartment situated in the district zone.
The district zone contains individuals with D ranks. People in D ranks were regular folks, earning average salaries and holding common positions. They're literally average Joes. But Barry, who was an E Rank, had no hopes of paying the rent nor enrolling his sister in school all by himself. As Barry headed home, his head was spinning with the additional responsibilities on his hands. With his benefactor, dead, there was no one to support him anymore. The Raven family would only pay him $200 if he continued to slave for them. But $200 was barely enough to feed himself, pay the rent or see his younger sister through school. Standing outside his apartment, Barry took a deep breath before knocking on the door. The door opened to reveal a cute sixteen-year-old high school girl wearing shorts and a sweater. “I'm home, Snow,” Barry said, forcing a wide smile on his face. “Here, I bought us dinner.” He stretched out a bag of groceries he bought from the nearby store. Snow rushed at him and embraced him tightly. “Big Brother,” she called excitedly. “Welcome home. It's been lonely without you this week.” Barry stroke her hair. Since Evelyn's death, he hadn't been home for a while. “I'm sorry I couldn't be here with you,” Barry said. “Let's go inside. Tell me all about school while we make dinner together.” * * * * An hour later, Barry tucked Snow in her bed and returned to his room. He laid up on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He had just spent his last $200 in grocery shopping. After tonight, there would be nothing left to eat. What's more troubling, they have not paid the landlord in months. Their rent was way overdue. Barry gritted his teeth as he thought about how the Raven family had abandoned him. He sat up, his rage boiling over. If he ever gets the chance, he would make each of them regret ever treating him like trash. Just then, he received an inbox text message on his small phone. Barry stared at his phone as he opened the text. It was his Forex trading account details and password. Barry recalled the accountant mentioning this Forex trading account was fully funded with $10,000. This was all they left him with after losing the White mansion to Laura in their divorce settlement. Unfortunately, the Forex market has been awful for the past three years. There was hardly any money to be made these days from trading. Barry sighed. “This is better than nothing.” Snow still had a laptop Evelyn gifted her years ago. Barry retrieved the laptop from the living room and booted it on. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi was free around this part of town. Barry could log in to his Forex trading account smoothly. When the site interface appeared, Barry's eyes widened. $10,000,000.00. “What the…?” He muttered, rubbing his eyes just to make sure he was seeing clearly. “How I'm I seeing $10 million instead of $10,000?” The amount was still there, $10 million, staring back at him. “No way,” Barry's jaws dropped. “It can't be. I don't believe it. This has to be a mistake.” He refreshed the page over and over again, thinking it was a glitch somewhere, but the amount was right there. $10,000,000.00. Barry scrolled to the transaction history and to his shock, he discovered the amount was deposited in his account a month ago before Evelyn's passing. Barry sat back, his jaws hanging. His mind drifted back to his second year in college before he dropped out after Evelyn's illness became worse. He had been friends with a self-proclaimed Forex guru named Matthew. Matthew had a knack for reading the market like a book. Everyone ridiculed Matthew, proclaiming he couldn't make any real money in Forex. But Barry followed Matthew everywhere. Barry spent countless hours absorbing everything Matthew could teach him about Forex trading — strategies, risk management, patterns, and timing. After Evelyn's illness struck, Barry had to drop out of college in order to care for her, but he was more knowledge about Forex than anyone could imagine. He shared his experience with Evelyn during their late night talks. She used to tease him about his ambition. Barry never thought she was making arrangements behind his back to prepare this account for him to trade. She believed in him more than anyone else. Still, this Forex trading account seemed too good to be true. "There's no way Madam Evelyn could entrust me with all that money to trade with," Barry sighed, his throat tightening. "$10 million is a lot of money. No one is stupid enough to risk putting all that money into Forex for a beginner to trade with." Barry rubbed his temples as he studied the screen displaying his account. "My suspicion is correct. This is a demo account," Barry concluded. "It's the only logical explanation. Madam Evelyn may be a generous woman, but she's not stupid to fund $10 million for me to trade with." The more Barry thought about it, the more convinced he felt Evelyn Raven created this simulation account to test and hone his skills. Now, the money in a demo account isn't real. Barry could carry out his strategies without bearing any risks, so any profits or losses he made from the demo account won't affect his actual finances. Barry glanced at the time. It was 9:20.pm. The market was active by this time and fluctuating. The Forex market wasn't what it used to be before. Many people had given up on it a long time ago. "I guess I'll give it a try and make my first trading," Barry said. "I still have all the knowledge and strategies I acquired from Matthew. Even if it's a demo account, I'll give it my all." With renewed determination fueling him, Barry opened a chart and started analyzing it. A surge of adrenaline rush through his entire body as he executed his first-ever trade like a seasoned trader. Barry got so caught up in the moment he didn't know when he ended up trading the entire $10 million–every penny. Since it's a demo account, it wouldn't matter. * * * * Barry's apartment was quiet except for the soft hum of the laptop and rustling of the curtains as breeze passed through the window. Barry lay slumped over the small wooden table, his head resting on his folded arms. For two days, He had deprived himself of sleep after Evelyn's funeral. His exhaustion took its toll, causing him to drift into a deep sleep without him knowing it. The laptop was still on, with charts and candlesticks flickered across the screen. Suddenly, at the stroke of midnight, magic happened and hundreds of notifications started popping up on the screen. Barry's trades took off in a way that defied all logic, with profits soaring on a larger scale. He was earning billions of dollars per second. After the first second, he earned $10.42 billion. After a minute, he made $625 billion. After an hour, Barry made over $37.5 Trillion. Barry continued to sleep, unaware his laptop was blowing up with unimaginable wealth.Related Chapters

Veronica Phoenix took her private jet from headquarters and flew to North Hills as soon as she received Jeremy's message. When her private jet finally landed in North Hills airport, she rushed over to the Phoenix Bank. A staff was waiting to welcome her. They all inclined their back at angle 90 to greet her as she walked past them. When she was ushered into Jeremy's office, she was surprised to find a shabbily dressed young man seated opposite Jeremy. “What's this about, Jeremy?” She demanded, oozing an aura of confidence that overpowered the room.

The landlord revealed he sold Snow to the Nightingale family at an underground slave auction. He revealed Reeves Nightingale ran the transaction, buying Snow in cash. Barry almost went nuts as the thought of Reeves claiming ownership of his sister's life filled him with cold dread. “You cold-hearted bastard,” Barry bawled at Barnes' face. “How could you do this to me behind my back? You didn't have to sell my sister just because we owe you rent.”Barnes was scared of the viciousness in Barry's eyes that he lost most of his colour. “I-It's not my fault,” Barnes retorted nervously. “A member of the Nightingale family needed a heart transplant. They took your sister to the Central hospital, and she was a perfect match. I couldn't resist the price Reeves offered me.”Barry smacked a blow to the side of Barnes' face, dislocating his jaw. “You're evil,” Barry said breathlessly, his voice laced with malice. “When I get back, I promise you, I'll have this apartment torn to the ground.

“You rotten piece of trash,” Reeves roared, slamming his fist on the desk. “How dare you ignore us and make such an outrageous demand? I'll have you skinned alive.”Before Reeves could make a move at Barry, Kane Nightingale stood up and raised a hand, stopping him immediately. He gazed at Barry with growing interest. “Don't push it, Reeves. Barry, you've piqued my interest. Do you really think you can buy this hospital which is owned by the government?”Barry looked straight into his eyes. “I will. Once I acquire it, the surgery won't happen.”Kane threw his head back and laughed as loud as he can. “This is just remarkable. You? Buy Central hospital? You're the same broke bastard who couldn't pay rent without the assistance of a dead woman.”Barry gritted his teeth. “Don't make mockery of Madam Evelyn.”Kane's smile widened into a smirk. “This is really entertaining to say the least. I'll humour you, Barry. Here's a deal. If you acquire this hospital this very night and prevent the s

Barry didn't want to reveal the entire truth. “I made a call to someone I knew.”He made it sounded so simple. As if he just pressed a few buttons. “Bullshit!” Kane Nightingale bawled angrily at him. “There's no way you could have pulled that off. Not only was the hospital bought out, but the government also forbade us from proceeding with the surgery. How did you pull it off?”Barry dug his hands in his pockets and gazed down at Kane. “What's this? I thought we had a deal? If I'm able to prevent the surgery, my sister leaves. That was the deal, or are you backing out on your words?”“You bastard!” Reeves yelled at Barry. “You had better start talking, or I'll rip you apart right here.”Barry frowned. “You can't do anything to me, Reeves. We had a deal and that's that. I won't disclose how I pull it off. I owe no one any explanation.” Barry approached the doctor in charge of the surgery and placed both hands on the desk. “About my sister, doctor. Where is she?”The doctor cleared hi

“Take it easy, that's painful,” Barnes groaned as his wife tended to his busted jaws. His wife hissed as she removed the ice bag from his jaw. “How could you let your tenant hit you that hard? And Barry for that matter.”“I didn't expect such a reaction from the kid,” Barnes barked, feeling humiliated at being punched by his tenant. “I can't believe you'll let that bastard get away with it,” his wife ranted. “You're a disgrace if you allow Barry to walk freely around without fixing him.”Barnes knew his wife would talk about this for weeks. She would definitely gossip to her friends and her friends would in turn tell their husbands.Soon, word would circulate and Barnes would end up becoming a laughingstock. His other tenants won't respect nor fear him. If Barry, a nobody could punch him and get away with it, the other tenants could feel the need to do the same when Barnes demands for his rent money. No, he can't allow that. No matter what, he must find Barry and make an example

Barnes heart skipped a beat when his wife delivered the bad news. “What do you mean they destroyed our house?” Barnes asked, grabbing her shoulder and giving her a little shake. His wife snapped angrily at him. “Are you deaf? Our home was demolished five minutes after you left. They said they were given orders and permission to demolish all our properties. As at this moment, they're currently demolishing our shopping complex. Do something, Barnes. They'd ruin us all.”Barnes eyes widened in shock. He glanced at Barry and saw the seriousness in his eyes. That was when he realized Barry wasn't fooling around. “Barry, what have you done?” Barry wore back his dark glasses. “I kept my promise to you, landlord. You never should have sold my sister in the first place. This is your punishment for your wickedness.”Barnes owned the block of apartments which his twenty tenants lived in. He also owned a small shopping complex and a private house. If what his wife was telling him was true,

Mrs. Wexler
During his time as a servant for the Raven family, Madam Evelyn had a close friend who had always despised him—Mrs. Wexler. She would visit the Raven estate occasionally, and without fail, she would try to convince Madam Evelyn to get rid of Barry. Mrs. Wexler had never approved of Madam Evelyn’s decision to arrange a marriage between Barry and Laura. She would often chastise Madam Evelyn, calling Barry a "lowly servant" and insisting that he was unworthy of such a union. Her words had been sharp and cutting, and Barry had grown to resent her deeply. When Madam Evelyn fell ill, Mrs. Wexler never once visited her. Not a single day. And when Madam Evelyn passed away, Mrs. Wexler was deliberately absent from the funeral.

The two head members of The Order exchanged a glance. The silver-haired man was the first to break the silence. He inhaled deeply, then spoke in a measured tone.“Mr. Sullivan, we… apologize for any misunderstandings. Perhaps we can come to an arrangement that benefits both parties.”Barry leaned back in his chair. “I have no use for The Order. Leave me alone, and we won’t have a problem. But if you interfere with me, my family, or my business again, I’ll dismantle your organization piece by piece.”The silver-haired man and the woman exchanged glances. They had no choice but to back down.The silver-haired man adjusted his spectacles. “Very well. We’ll discuss this with the other members and ensure there are no further… misunderstandings.”With that, the two heads of The Order stood to their feet.

The woman with piercing blue eyes spoke first. “We’ve been aware of Barry’s wealth for some time now, Nathaniel. An anonymous source informed us that he amassed $900 trillion in just 24 hours. However, we couldn’t confirm it because Veronica has been exceptionally skilled at hiding the truth from us.”Nathaniel's fingers twitched against the table before he turned his sharp gaze to the two head members of The Order. "You’re saying he made all that money in just 24 hours?” Nathaniel asked, his voice shaking.They both nodded at the same time.Nathaniel’s head snapped toward Veronica, his eyes filled with shock and fury. “You had $900 trillion in Phoenix Bank this entire time and never told us?” Veronica didn’t respond. She merely leaned back in her chair, her expression stoic. The silence was deafening. Nathaniel’s face turned red, and he slammed a fist against the table. “Where is it?!” he demanded. “Where is that $900 trillion?!” Barry exhaled slowly, then met Nathaniel’s e

Barry brought the bike to a stop near the entrance where Sebastian stood waiting for them.He placed a hand over his chest and bowed deeply as Barry and Snow approached. “Welcome home, Master Barry. Miss Snow,” he said, his voice smooth and respectful.Snow blinked in surprise and turned to her brother. "Who is this?"Sebastian smiled warmly. “I am Sebastian, the butler whom Master Barry recently hired.

It was the end of the term in Elite High school and the beginning of Spring vacation. Barry parked his bike outside the gates of the school and leaned casually against his bike, his arms crossed as he waited for Snow to come out. The school gates were bustling with activity as students streamed out of the school building, laughing and chattering. Black Rolls-Royces, gleaming Bugattis, and custom-made Maybachs lined the entrance, their engines humming softly as chauffeurs in crisp suits stood by, ready to escort their young masters and mistresses home. A crimson Ferrari roared to life as a student slid into the driver’s seat, while another teen casually tossed his keys to a uniformed valet who had been waiting. The parking lot looked more like a luxury car dealership than a school pickup zone. Barry’s bike Yamaha YZF-R1M, though a beast on the road, stood out starkly against the backdrop of these luxurious cars. As he scanned the crowd for Snow, a young man, probably around 19,
