Chapter 1
Smith's hands crawled into Ella's sick cold hands. Her breath shaking. He watched his sister gradually fade into the cold hands of death with the name of brain tumor, helpless. Just like he was three years ago. The memories of his parents being shot in the head were still fresh in his mind like it was yesterday, his body trembling as more memories flooded into his head. And what about Junior Smith, he could not save his junior brother from those brutal stabs that ended his life a while ago. Smith's breaths were sucked deep into his lungs and his heart was flustered with memories and emotions running through him. "You have to stay strong, sister. For me. I am going to feel miserable if anything happens to you again." His voice drifted off into a whisper. "Mr. Smith?" A similar voice came from behind. "Doctor Glim. How is she doing? She doesn't seem to be getting... Getting any better." Smith said with a tint of pain in his voice that made the doctor, carrying a handful of documents sigh. "That's because we can't hold on any longer Mr. Smith. We need to proceed with this surgery as soon as possible or I won't be responsible for her life. She is running out of time." The doctor announced. He knew exactly what these words meant and Smith bit his tongue, his heart drumming as he pushed forward to say. "And how much are we talking about doctor?" "Two hundred thousand dollars." The doctor responded. Smith was talking in cold shock and his face flustered. Two hundred thousand dollars? He was only a part-time worker who sought to meet the end with his sister and his wife. Even though he was going to save for a whole year, he could never be able to afford such a large amount of money. "Two hundred thousand dollars is much doctor. We aren't doing well. Can't there be a discount, or maybe an installment payment? Or maybe?" Smith begged with a desperate voice but the doctor shook his head multiple times. "I am afraid not. That's the hospital's policy. I can't help you, Mr. Smith." He replied. Smith was lost in a daze with thoughts running through his head the moment making it feel like it was all going to blow up. He tried to beg but the doctor would not listen even for a single moment. "Let me know when you have the money." He ended, eventually walking away. Smith sank his hands into his hair with his heart racing. His skin felt like it was on fire. He raced more, browsing through options. However, Smith could not find a way to raise such a large amount of money. None expect. He pulled off his card from his drawer before running off to the ATM stand to withdraw. "Jessica is going to be furious." He said to himself as he placed the card into the slot, hastily.. This was the money that he had been saving over to open a new business for her after so many years. But his sister was the only thing worth saving. He could start again from the start. Work twice as hard to make it up to her. But for his sister, it was either now or never. "Insufficient funds." The lights flashed him back to reality, cutting a clean slice through his heart as he exclaimed. "What! I'm sure! I'm so sure that there was money here!" He tried again, hearing his own heart beat but it was the same thing. He pulled out his phone from his pocket desperately. He pulled out his cell phone from his pocket to call the only person who should know his code, Jessica. He was gasping like he didn't have enough air around there. His body was hot waiting for his wife, the daughter of the CEO of Hera Group to pick up the call. What would she need money for? He had only been saving that to help her. She couldn't take it, could she? "What do you want smith? Can't you tell the difference between work hours and free hours?" An indifferent voice blotted out from the other end of the phone. When was she ever free? However, that wasn't what Smith wanted. He only wanted to ask one question. "Jessica, I'm sorry but this is important. The money that I have been saving in my Republic Bank account, it's all gone. Do you by any chance..." Jessica would not even wait for her to finish the statement before she blotted out angrily at him. "So you have money that you have been keeping all these well and I didn't know." Her voice was filled with rage and disdain. "Not…not like that, actually…", smith stammered and was Interrupted before he could even finish. "How pathetic can you ever get? Sometimes, I wonder why I am the only one who gets trash for a husband who can't properly take care of me and get the things that I want. And it turns out that you have been hiding money away from me? In my house? You broke ass bastard." He growled. Smith sighed. The money was for her in the first place. How could he ever hide such a thing from her? However, he could run through the details later. Right now, he needed to find out anything there was to know about how that money left his bank account. He wasn't going to watch another of his family die so helplessly while he started unable to do anything about it. "Look, Jessica, I know that you are angry. You have every right to. But I need this money for Ella. You know, the tumor, the doctor needs money for her surgery.. and." Once again, Jessica didn't allow him to finish his statement. Her voice was divorced or any form of pity for him. "That's too bad." "Too bad? What are you talking about Jessica?" "My friends are going to my grandfather's birthday party today. And you know they are all rich and expensive people. You do not expect me to be left out, do you? So I noticed the money and I got it to get a Louis Vuitton bag and other stuff. You should find another way to take care of Ella." Jessica said nonchalantly. "You did what?" Smith yelled out his phone for the first time. "What! Apart from being broke and disgusting, don't tell me that you are also becoming deaf." Jessica said with an icy tone to her voice. "I just told you that my sister is in the hospital, Jessica, I need the money". Smith's voice trembled. "Well, if you can understand me, I told you I just spent it on a bag, even after hiding money, it could only be a bag!". Smith gulped, sweat all over him, "okay, please you can return the bag and ask for a refund, you can do that". Jessica's response broke every joint in his Body, as she replied, "Refund?Because of your dying sister, I should be embarrassed, Never!" "Jessica, my sister is dying and you want her to____." "To die! What do you want? Just take a look at yourself. Don't you think that it would be better if she is dead? Will she be able to keep up such a pitiful life with you? Pathetic being? You are just a worthless piece of crap and I am sure she would be more than happy to leave you. Just pray she does get such a junkyard like you in her next life." She growled through her phone. Her voice was like stabs through his heart and his face was morphed with pain, so hard that even his Silva felt like large stones going through his throat. Smith was smashed, right through his heart into his bone. Smith was speechless. She always acts cold around him but never expected that she was going to be this heartless. The call ended abruptly while Smith continued to stare at the screen, his world had completely gone blank. "Beep beep." His cell phone voices out a sound. [ My darling wife just sent you a photo. Downloading complete. ] "This is the bag. I'm sure you can see that it was worth it." Jessica's heartless and ruthless message read, just below the photo.Smith ran his hands through his head which was all over the place once again. His heart racing at this moment.The thought of his sister dying fell into his mind but he quickly pushed it away from his head."I can't let that creep into my mind. There has to be a way." Smith muttered to himself.Smith drew a deep breath. He could not go to the bank because he was already owed a large amount of money. There was only one place that he could go to at the moment.His heart raced, pulling off from the spot. Smith was already at the mansion of the Hera's family business group.He knew how it was whenever he came here but he had to do this for his sister. His hands slide through the door.Mr. Alfred, his grandfather, sat on the chair with a broad smile on his face with a group of people walking forward towards him."Mr. Alfred! I got you wine that was made from the finest brew in Italy and it's with over five hundred dollars, please accept this as my little present." A man dressed in a busin
3 Smith was still lost in his daze. Staring at this strange screen that has appeared before him.Was it real? Or it was just his sorrows that had gotten the better part of him. The last time that he remembered, these things were supposed to happen only in fiction.

A cryptic voice resound in his hand. He looked around, "Is all of this true? If i had such a large amount of money. That way I wouldn't have to worry about anything again.' He thought."Are you okay?" Ella's voice came from behind interrupting his train of thoughts.He stared at her pale sickly face with the emotions rising in him once again and he nodded
4Smith's heart felt like a burden had been lifted. His eyes quietly shot, all his sorrows drifting away gradually when."I can't believe this is happening!" A yell woke me up with a startle. Looking ahead, he could see an extremely stunning lady with the perfect shape and a classic look.She was surrounded by a group of guards trying to protect her. Until he saw the manager shaking right before her.Smith knew the manager because he had run a search about the kind of place that he would be bringing her sister into.The radius was not far away so he could hear almost everything that they were saying at this moment."Can't we look for other investors ma'am!" The voice of the manager sounded so desperate as he inquired."An investor? Do you think that I haven't searched for it?" Her angry voice filled the room in an instant. But even with the dripping anger, it still sounded sweet."That bitch that I call a husband. After sticking to him for years. He tries to run away with the money t
5{Congratulations! You have been gifted 1 golden points for completing the daily task}Smith was surprised, but how can he get hold of the gold?. He wondered.{Golden points can be used to unlock new skills}."Wow". He said as he kept walking to his destination. Smith stretched with a long yawn as he watched exclusive-looking people walking in and out of Trinity Five Star Hotel, rumored to be one of the most expensive hotels in the city.It was evident from the way the people who walked in and out were dressed and the exclusive cars in the parking lot. It was a place that should have been out of the league."How about that long-deserved rest!" Smith said to himself with a smile, walking gradually into the hotel.It had been an extremely long day for him. And"Hey! Do you want something!" He heard a yell just ahead of him and his eyes wandered towards that direction.The receptionist had seized him up. She had never seen anyone that was so ragged walking into that place. For her,
6 Jule's eyes popped. Her nails dug into her skin until it bled. But the sight before her was reality.Or she would rather say a nightmare. That room had not been occupied in a while because not everyone would be able to cough out two million dollars in one go. And Smith, he was able to do that without even blinking. She was dead. Smith could tell the manager of the Trinity Hotel to sack her and he would not be hesitant.The rude words that she had spoken started running off through her head once again and her breath was lost in her lungs at the moment.With a wobbling leg, she crawled towards Smith and fell on her lips, not daring to look at his face."Please, sir. Please forgive me. I was so ignorant and stupid when I said those words. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me, sir." She pleaded, a thick stream of tears flooring down her eyes.Meanwhile, the crowd was beginning to snap out from their dazes with fear in their hearts. For Smith to be able to afford such an amo
7 Kelly's eyes drafted forward towards someone in the room and his face tilted into a deep frown.Clara also recognized the person who was standing right before her. He was supposed to be the martial arts specialist of the company so what was he doing with that trash earlier?"You fool!" His hands were pointed with disdain towards Clara."How dare you talk to Fred, my good friend, in such a manner? Do you have a death wish? And you even dared to get him kicked out?" He yelled at her."It has nothing to do with you, Kelly. That was my department and you should have nothing to do with it.""Your department? You are a lowly slut. Do you know how many years I have been here? With just a snap of my hands, I will get you fired and you know that!" He snapped a snare at Clara but she was frightened no more.Hearts raced as Fred turned his direction right towards Smith. All the vines that lined up his body were already popping out at the moment."You! You are going to tell me where you got th
Smith's eyes locked onto Kelly,. He knew he couldn't take on a martial arts specialist like Kelly without some help. He needed his martial skills unlocked, to fight him."System, unlock my martial skills," Smith said, his voice firm and commanding.{Processing...please wait for one minute for it to be integrated into your body}.Smith's eyes widened in panic. One minute? That was too long! Kelly was already charging towards him, his fists flying in a flurry of punches."No, no, no! I need it now!" Smith shouted, his desperation growing. {Processing...please wait for one minute. You should have told me this before and it will be integrated by now, please wait.}.It's already late, smith was in front of him already as he delivered a super power punch at him right in his face. Smith staggered and nearly fell down.Everyone gasped, while the CEO uttered, "Wasted… what is he thinking, he can't fight Kelly".{70%, 75%...}."Be quick please". Smith uttered as he gathered himself up, but Kel
Clara was a very funny lady who kept cracking Smith up, she told her about her life and how good she was in the marketing strategy department. They have a good night gist, before going to sleep. like, actually slept, no plot twist here. {fuck up man} The system tingled him. ***** The Next morning, Smith was awoken by the bright light that shines directly into the room, he groaned as he woke up, he looked beside him and couldn't find Clara, she only left a note. *good bye, thanks so much.. Actually, I had stopped working here, I have to attend to my mother, she is suffering from heart disease and need my personal assistant, thanks for making my day special, I really pray all rich people are like you* reading the message broke smith's heart, he immediately got up and dressed up then sprinted out, he met the hotel owner Veronica, he stopped her and asked for Clara. "she left this morning, she re-sign", Veronica sternly stated. "Is there any way I can contact her", he asked
