Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 159-After the Funeral
By late afternoon, Alex's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who had disappeared into thin air, now came home looking upset.Lucia invited them all to sit on the sofa and made tea, but they refused.Alex watched with a furrowed brow, wary that something was up. He stood in the living room opening, staring at them.Since last night when they were still in the hospital, they seemed to be discussing something while occasionally glancing at Alex and Lucia. Now, it seemed that what they were discussing was about to surface.Lucia looked at her siblings in confusion. The black bags in her eyes were still very noticeable, even after sleeping for hours. Her face was also still pale, with chapped lips.Lucia actually still needed to rest, but hearing her brother's arrival, she hurried to get up. After losing her father, Lucia only had her siblings. So, she wanted to treat them well, despite the unpleasant past.However, the response she got now was shocking.What had made her siblings and their
Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 160-They're Getting Upset
After the incident that day, Lucia didn't speak to her siblings at all because she was hurt.A week passed and they started behaving normally again, as if the previous incident had never happened.Whenever Alex and Lucia went out with Bianca, they would come over to say hello, but both Alex and Lucia ignored them.Bianca, who understood that her aunt and uncle were the cause of Lucia's crying, did the same. Alex and Lucia took time off from work after Bachdim's death, spending more time at the park to entertain themselves."What would Mommy Lucia like to bake this afternoon?" Bianca swung Lucia's arm as she carried a paper bag filled with strawberries. They had just returned from the mini-park and passed several small shops selling vegetables and fruits."Yorkshire pudding, darling," Lucia replied with a small smile. She was so excited to be back home baking. This time it was a baked pudding that she always made in winter. "It tastes so good and I'm sure you'll love it.""Mommy Lucia'
Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 161-Task 1 (Level 60)
This morning, Alex intended to go to Bi's office.It had been over a week since he had stayed at home with some company reports from Missi. Alex was able to get most of his work done at home, but today, he had three important meetings that had been delayed. One of them was a meeting with Angelo Gambino.Lucia herself extended her leave by two weeks. It doesn't matter if Lucia doesn't work, but Lucia still wants to pursue her dreams.She still wanted to spend more time with Bianca.In the past few days, Alex had been thinking about one thing that had somehow just occurred to him. Maybe later, at the right time, he could persuade Lucia to become his personal secretary. They could work together all the time, exchanging ideas on the progress of Bi's company.Lucia is a smart woman.Alex had seen the proof himself, displayed in her performance as an employee. It's no wonder some clients appreciate Lucia's involvement in important meetings.From the start, Lucia had only worked in the finan
Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 162-Alex Was Getting Annoyed
"Shit!"Tonny shouted angrily as he threw his files against the wall. Behind him, Lecia was relentlessly pounding on her own couch, an outlet for the frustration gnawing at her chest.They had just been humiliatingly kicked out of Bi company!With hundreds of employees' eyes watching, as well as mouths uttering insults. Not to forget the disgusted looks on their faces.Lecia wanted to disappear from this world. Alex had humiliated her. Alex had made her look like a shameful woman. Alex had made her and Tonny look like thieves in front of everyone."Alex! Alex! Alex! It's all because of Alex!" Lecia roared and threw her body on the sofa hard. But a second later, she screamed as the rubber came out and slapped her ass. "Ouch, useless sofa! You're the same as Alex!" she cursed as she stood up in exasperation.If Lecia hadn't thought about the high cost of her other belongings, she might have destroyed her house. Similarly, Tonny could now only punch the wall repeatedly.They were so ang
Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 163-Alex Had To Do Something
Alex put his stamina drink into the bottle, then grabbed a fresh towel from the closet. This morning, he planned to go to the gym for a quick workout.As Alex put on his coat and socks, the system panel popped up with a notification about his prize.'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED LEVEL 60 TASK 1!'Alex had been looking forward to this since yesterday. He wondered what his reward would be. He pressed the button and two things appeared simultaneously."So it's true..." he muttered.Alex grinned when he saw the prize money of 25 million dollars and 100 system coins.So this was what his supervisor meant by a double prize. It was no wonder why people were trying so hard to pass level 50. There were apparently a lot of benefits to be gained.Alex felt lucky to have gotten such a big level jump. Maybe there would be more spectacular prizes in the future. He was very curious about the prizes at the upper levels, especially level 90 to level 100.Still a long way off, he th
Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 164-Task 2 (Level 60)
'TASK 2 LEVEL 60: FIRE MARIA!Alex spontaneously cheered when the notification appeared. He was taking a shower to get ready for work when the system panel appeared in front of him.Remembering yesterday's incident when Jasmine arrived, Alex was already planning to fire Maria. The reason why he didn't get rid of Maria back then-when the mass dismissal happened-was because he was still waiting for orders.Now, he could finally do it.One by one, his enemies were being eliminated and falling into bankruptcy. Maybe not completely, but the slow process of falling is much more painful. Let them know what it's like to live in the scorn of the people.Alex scrubbed his body vigorously and finished his bath. Lucia had prepared a work suit that she would wear on the bed. Alex had brought most of his expensive suits to this house, but that didn't mean his old cheap clothes were out of the question.Truth be told, there were many cheap suits with quality that were much more comfortable to wear t
Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 165-Ragnarok Again
'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED LEVEL 60 TASK 2!'Alex received 30 million dollars and 150 system coins.He was amazed at the drastic increase in his reward, even though he was still at the same level. It seems like the upper levels after level 50 are gold mines that make players even more excited.So far, the task was still fairly easy. However, Alex shouldn't let his guard down and celebrate his success early. There could be big challenges waiting in the next level.Alex's bio stats then appear after the system panel screen changes.Name: Alexander GatesLevel: 61 (61/100)Powers: GoldHealth: Very GoodCoin Power: UnlimitedWeapon System: VR, Golden Sword, Rifle, Boomerang, Missile, Stratcher.Total Wealth: $ InfinityAlex leaned his head against the sofa cushion and nodded to himself, feeling proud of what he had done. There were many things Alex had gone through so far, ranging from light tasks to some tasks that put his life in danger.It was true that hard wor
Penniless Man's Wealthy System Chapter 166-Goodbye!
"Why are you silent, Mr. Alexander Gates? Are you afraid of my challenge? Didn't you succeed against Valtazar? Where is your courage?" asked Ragnarok in a mocking tone, a lopsided smile forming on his lips.His supporters laughed and gave Alex an upside-down thumbs-up in unison. They shouted the word 'suck' loudly, while Alex's supporters urged Alex to accept Ragnarok's offer immediately.Alex wasn't afraid. Whatever it was, he would fight it. But he didn't want to waste his energy on revenge. If the duel brought no benefit to his system game, then he would refuse.He did not care what people thought. It was better to return home and spend time with his family.Ragnarok seemed to know what Alex was thinking. He stepped forward and looked at Alex with a haughty face. "Are you thinking of something else, Alex? Tell me, you're not brave enough to fight me, right? Are you really that much of a loser?"Alex snorted. "Not at all. I just don't want to waste my time here. My duties in the sys

Alex ran down the hospital hallway in a hurry. Sweat poured down his face and neck. His expression was one of panic and anxiety. He was still in the office when Alex's trusted doctor called to say that Lucia was in labor.There had been a traffic jam on the road, but luckily Alex was able to get out quickly. He rushed down the hospital hallway to the room he was told about.Lucia was in labor.He repeated the words in his head and his heart began to pound loudly.Having just turned the corner, Alex could already hear the sound of a baby crying from the open door of the room. He ran inside and saw the doctor begin to transfer the baby into Lucia's arms.Lucia turned around with her cheeks already wet with tears. "Alex, our child... our child was born safely."Alex couldn't help but cry when he heard that, especially when his eyes fell on the baby's tiny body.Lucia was right about her guess. Their first child was a girl. Alex thought she was just guessing, but she really meant what she
Chapter 180-Defeat of the Enemies (Ending)
A cold breeze blew in carrying the falling snowflakes, lightly brushing the side of Alex's face.A pinch of hair that Alex had neatly combed back, again fell across his forehead. Alex sighed and smoothed it back down. Lucia was right, Alex should have worn a spray to keep his hairstyle from changing.This afternoon, Alex received an official invitation from the system world. He was to be crowned the system's human master and the ceremony was to take place at seven o'clock.Alex told Lucia that he had to attend an important event. Lucia didn't ask many questions and asked Alex to be careful.Alex was honestly at a loss to tell Lucia about the world of systems. How he got there and participated in 100 levels of the game, how he earned a lot of money for his hard work, how he fought monsters...He felt conflicted about telling her.Alex could probably brush everything off as if nothing had happened, but he felt he had to tell Lucia. After the invitation, he knew that the knot tying him t
Chapter 179-A Crazy Woman
This morning, Alex and Lucia were finally able to go to the doctor without a hitch.Lucia had been vomiting since she woke up, so a worried Alex didn't want to delay the examination any longer.Alex felt that his suspicions about Lucia being pregnant were correct. Lucia herself felt the same way, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. They had been hopeful since the beginning of their marriage, so Lucia didn't want to end up disappointed.They both stepped into the examination room, but suddenly, Lucia stopped walking and squeezed the cuff of her husband's shirt."Lucia, what's wrong?""I'm scared." Lucia bit her lip as she glanced into the examination room. "What if the results are disappointing?"Alex sighed and rubbed his wife's shoulders. "Honey, everything will be fine. Whatever the answer is, I'll accept it. The most important thing now is your health. We need to know what happened to you. Even if you're not pregnant, I won't be angry," Alex whispered, trying to calm Lucia
Chapter 178-Amazing Prize!
Alex's battle axe hit the monster in the head.The axe stuck in the center, injuring both eyes of the monster which were now covered in blood.That made the monster's movements chaotic, it kept moving its tail blindly, no longer knowing where its enemy was.This was Alex's chance to leave.Alex quickly ran to his car, ignoring the pain in his hands. He circled around the monster's body and moved into the tunnel. Alex cheered inwardly, then sped up his car at high speed.In the rearview mirror, he saw the monster moving back into the tunnel, blocking the newly arrived participants with their oil-splattered cars.Alex didn't know how to describe his happiness when the finish line came into view. The spectators cheered excitedly at Alex's arrival from behind the tunnel, given that none of the participants had appeared so far."YES, THIS IS IT! FINALLY SOMEONE EMERGES FROM THE TUNNEL AFTER PASSING THE CHALLENGE AT THE RED DOT!""ALEX! GO! GO!"Alex rolled down the window and waved to his
Chapter 177-Facing the Monster
Was the race attended by all the system world's inhabitants?Alex arrived at a large field filled with system humans. In the eastern part of the field, there were cars lined up with the race participants. Then at the edge of the field, there was a giant poster that read: "SYSTEM WORLD ANNUAL COMPETITION!"The three winners of the previous race were posted at the bottom of the poster. The race was said to be held every 10 years and could only be participated in by players who were in the 50s and above.That's why Alex was asked to join by his supervisor.Alex stepped closer and a system panel floating in the air instantly displayed his face."Participant number 20: Alexander Gates has arrived!" The voice echoed around the field.Alex could only raise his hand in greeting as his fans went crazy. They were all restrained behind iron fences. Even so, they excitedly continued to chant his name."ALEX! ALEX! YOU'RE THE BEST!"Alex didn't expect his fans to increase fivefold after defeating
Chapter 176-Annual Competition
They peeked again and now saw Alex's interaction with the lawyer.The two seemed very close, and the man even tapped Alex on the shoulder once in a while."So... Alex hasn't been lying all this time? How could this be... I thought it was all just because of Angelo's power, but apparently..." Bastian ran out of words to explain. He dropped his backpack and rubbed his face repeatedly, almost feeling crazy.Lecia and Tonny were speechless as all the strange things that had been happening were finally solved. As if their eyes were all opened, the lawyer's arrival completely stunned them."Yes Sir, the process of accounting for all your assets will be completed in a few days. We will donate a portion of your wealth to the schools and courses where your late daughter studied."The lawyer's voice sounded closer. Tonny peeked back and apparently, he had already started walking out with Alex.They hurriedly stepped back and took a spot some distance away from the door."I'll call you when ever
Chapter 175-They're Going Bankrupt
Bastian sat limply on his couch. His eyes were glued to his cell phone lying on the table."Let's call him," Vinna said with an annoyed look. She had been waiting since earlier, but Bastian hadn't done it.They were already in debt and the bank officials would be back in the afternoon. If they don't get a loan soon, their house will be seized as collateral."Come on Bastian! Are you waiting for us to get beat up by the banker's assistant?"Bastian let out a harsh sigh and finally reached for his cell phone. "Yes, yes, please be quiet. My head hurts."Vinna sighed and looked at her husband. They were already tired of being charged by the bank, so the only person who could save them was Lucia.Vinna honestly didn't want to ask Lucia for help, but what could she do? Once they were out of debt, he wouldn't want to grovel before Lucia again.Bastian puts the phone to his ear, waiting for Lucia to answer. The ticking of the clock fills the silence in the room, while Vinna waits tensely in h

'You're the best dad.You bought me dolls, and pretty houses, and princess clothes, and all the things I wanted.Anyway, Daddy is the best daddy in the world.I love you, Bianca. I want you to be happy. Mommy Lucia and you should live happily.When I'm gone, don't throw all my clothes away. You have to keep them and my dolls and things.I love you. Please don't cry when I'm gone.

I love you forever.Love from Bianca:Alexander Gates' beloved daughter.This was the 100th time Alex opened the letter and read it again for the umpteenth time.Two weeks had passed since Bianca's death, but Alex's heart was still filled with sadness.Alex just stayed at home without doing much. He couldn't think of anything, while Lucia patiently kept encouraging him.Alex looked at the letter as well as Bianca's mini version of the Iridium necklace. He now realized what Bianca had meant.Lucia arrived with hot tea, as well a
Chapter 173-In Condolence
Towards midnight, Bianca's condition suddenly worsened. Alex, who had been waiting on one of the sofas, rushed to the bed in a panic.The doctor checked her condition quickly, while Bianca tried to pass a roll of paper to Alex.The letter she had written.More tears fell down the boy's cheeks as his chest rose and fell rapidly. Bianca seemed to be having trouble breathing, and the light in her eyes was fading."Bianca! Bianca!" Lucia anxiously cried out the child's name, her tears falling at Bianca's feet.Alex couldn't describe how he felt right now. He was terrified at the thought of what was going to happen. Cold sweat ran down his body. His legs were shaking so badly that he couldn't even stand up. He clung to the edge of the bed as Bianca tried to speak through her labored breathing."Daddy promised to... take care of his health... and you too, mommy..."Alex shook his head and tried to calm Bianca down. The child's breathing seemed to be getting weaker. Alex stood rigid with a f
