“Rise! Rise! Rise!” “Muahahaha! This is the end of the line for you, Liam Walker! Let this be a lesson to you and any other foolish knaves! This is what will happen to anyone who dares to challenge me! A complete obliteration from me!” As the crowd spontaneously began to chant while observing the surge in Flanders Group's stock price, Damian Flander felt like a ruler—a true king holding the entire world in his grasp. People were hysterically cheering for him with their lives. It was such a heavenly feeling that he opened his arms wide apart and took a deep breath to feel the intense energy of the crowd. Like a hero who had the overwhelming support of the crowd, he was about to slain the hated Demon King and return victorious! “What are you all waiting for? For heaven's sake, why did I invest so much money in you just for you to stand idly by? Seize that insolent brat and break all his limbs! I want him permanently crippled and unable to stand for the rest of his life! After that,
As the large TV monitors installed on the nearby buildings were under the control of Liam and his crew, the current stock market price of Flanders' Group was swiftly reflected onto them, available for all to see.In just another minute, the price had quickly risen by another $20, climbing towards the price figure of $240.Within the course of less than ten minutes, Flanders' Groups stock price had rosen by more than 100%, and from the looks of things, it seemed like there was no stopping its momentum.Liam could see the looks of fervor from all the folks around him. As if in a trance, the majority of the crowd were chanting in unison, clenching their fists, hoping for the price to reach $250. “Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more! $250 is the target price which Liam Walker will be forced to buy back the stocks he shorted! Invest all your money into Flanders’ Group shares!” Damian Flander urged the crowd with gusto. At the same time, he made another call to his head accounta
"Dump it?" Damian Flander unconsciously repeated Liam's words without giving them much thought. He was bewildered and confused by Liam's choice of words. Wasn't Liam supposed to be begging for mercy instead? It took him a while to grasp the meaning behind Liam's words, and when he finally did, his eyes widened in shock. At this point, there can only be one thing that Liam could be referring to that could be dumped! And that was Flanders’ Group stocks! “What do you mean by that?” Damian Flander shouted at Liam, pointing his index finger at him firmly, demanding an explanation. However, in response to Damian Flander's menacing expression, Liam merely shrugged and smiled before pointing at one of the large LED screens that was installed on the surrounding buildings, signaling him to look at the screen. Damian's heart was overwhelmed by an ominous feeling as he observed Liam's unwavering confidence. His unease deepened upon hearing the abrupt gasps coming from the crowd as well. Fi
“So? Did you get me the condom like what I’ve instructed you to do in the doordash app?” In the grand and extravagant hallway of Millenia Hotel, Liam Walker was put in a tough spot by a customer dressed solely in a bathrobe. Standing in the doorway with the delivery food in his hands, Liam could only utter an apology to the customer. “Didn’t I say that I will reward you handsomely with tips if you help me with the purchase of a condom? What do you mean you are sorry?” The thirty year old looking man berated Liam as if Liam was his servant before shoving him a hundred dollar bill into Liam’s hands without his consent. “Look. I don’t care. Go and get me a condom right now! Keep the change while you are at it!” “Sorry sir, I have to decline. This is my last delivery job for the day. I have to return home early to my wife.” Liam rejected firmly. He needed to return to his wife. It was their one year wedding anniversary tonight, and even though his wife had told him that she wou
"Multipler… system?"“What is this? A hallucination? I’m hearing strange noises in my head…” Liam mumbled to himself while he was lying on the ground in serious pain.He could clearly hear a mechanical female voice ringing in his head, however, he assumed that he must have been injured in the head due to the nonsensical words he heard.With intense pain all over his body, it took him all his remaining strength to pick himself up from the ground. Those guards had done quite a number on him.And after what seemed like an indeterminable amount of time had passed, he finally managed to sit up right with his body leaned heavily against the wall.However, before he could catch his breath, Liam was stunned by the absurdity of the sight in front of his eyes.In his sight, there was a large blue translucent screen that occupied almost the entirety of his vision.[Ding! Congratulations on activating the Income-Multiplier System! You have been selected by the system.][Every month you are tasked
“Ring!”The next morning, Liam arrived in a tiny Italian restaurant located deep inside an alleyway, some distance away from the main street.If it wasn't for the wooden sign depicting a chef with a cheesy mustache, he would have never noticed that a restaurant was opened in such a desolate place.Entering the door with a nervous expression, Liam proceeded on with careful steps.He was here to propose a business proposition to the owner of this establishment and he could not afford to fail. The system was his only hope.There were only eight more days until the end of July to complete the mission given by the system. And after some calculation from him, he had figured that there was no way he could achieve the target profit by continuing as a food delivery driver with the limited time he had.Furthermore, with his entire body still hurting from the beatings he suffered, it was impossible for him to carry out physical labor. Several cuts and bruises on his face were still visible on h
“Hey! Where are you looking? My eyes are up here!” Penelope pouted her lips.Inside a department store, Penelope was standing outside the fitting room dressed in a white t-shirt fitted with a black tie while her lower half was covered with a black apron. Instead of covering her body lines, the typical waitress attire she was wearing further accentuates the splendid curves of her body so much so that Liam was caught staring at her."I’m looking at you.” Liam answered honestly, blinking his eyes without any ulterior motive. He truly thought that Penelope looked amazing.“What are you saying?” Penelope’s face became flushed red when she heard Liam’s honest reply. To be honest, Liam was decent looking and looked to be around the same age as her. It would be lying to say that she did not have a tinge of interest about him.Trying to avoid embarrassment, Penelope quickly changed the topic. “I have never met someone as crazy as you. Throwing half a million away in a seven-day promotion ev
Days went by fast with how busy Liam was.On day two of the promotion, Olive Park managed to pull in $2300 which landed Liam with $48,300. The increase in income boosted Liam’s confidence in his plan.On day three, the queue of customers was so massive that it reached the main street and even alerted the local news station to cover a special piece in the local news.And by day seven, the entire internet was filled with news of Olive Park where customers can eat a scrupulous two-course meal with just a dollar.Multiple influencers, food critics and even a few less known celebrities had visited Olive Park to try the food, further bringing the story of Olive Park into the public.“Did you know about the story of Olive Park? The owner of the restaurant was so confident about his food that he loaned half a million dollars for this marketing stunt! If there’s no returning customers after the discount is over, he will be bankrupt from the loan!”“Seriously? The cost of ingredients itself wou
