Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 25 Fast moving...!
Leo suddenly felt a strange sensation, a tingling at the back of his neck, and a gentle pull on his magical senses when he was getting off the stairs. He glanced around, his high-frequency hearing picking up on the faint whisper of voices that seemed to emanate from all around him. "Leonard Conner" Leo was startled hearing his full name and shifted his gaze from his phone screen to the unclear hovering figures in front of him. Floating in the air with just half of their bodies visible. He dropped open his jaw in astonishment, his eyes locked onto judging their ethereal presence. Turning in a slow circle, Leo's eyes widened in amazement and curiosity as he saw a group of translucent figures slowly materializing before him. They were souls, ethereal and shimmering, each one glowing with a faint light that held a mix of sorrow and urgency. There were seven souls in total, and they seemed to form a circle around Leo, their eyes filled with a mixture of hope and desperation. "What in

{Task initiated}{Destination- Elorida west zone Airport}}[Delta Central Bank; The account number ending with xxxx890 has been credited with an amount of 20,00,000/-] Checking his phone and the system screen for the task destination, Leo wondered what he is going to do in that airport.Leo had never been to an airport before. So he hesitatingly called his driver to take him to the airport.With his new talent, he could just run to the place in seconds but will a man prefer to run when his bank had just informed him that his account had been credited with two million?That money was itching his hands to get spent, anyway.After a smooth drive, his driver opened the car door, letting him know that they had reached the airport."Sir, we are here" Leo opened his eyes and stepped out of that car. Taking a deep breath, he saw the flourishing banner welcoming him to a place where he never stepped in and never thought that he would step. The bustling crowds, the towering metal birds on the

He was relishing every moment, exploring the island's beauty and embracing the relaxation that came with being in such a paradise. Everything was going smoothly when suddenly a long-lost friend appeared before him, Lara.She was preparing to give Leo a hard time unknown of the fact that this young man is not the same old timid boy in her school. He is now a superhero, with so many supernatural powers and has his pockets loaded with money that she could never even imagine.Giving her the satisfaction she needed, Leo agreed to her proposal to have lunch with her.Though she was his classmate from high school, they hadn't been close in school.But Leo remembered her as someone who had a knack for cutting remarks and a penchant for flaunting her social status and bullying poor students for no rea
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 28 A private mansion...!
As they perused the lavish menu, Lara's mind schemed. She knew Leo's financial situation all too well, his modest job and humble lifestyle. Tonight was her chance to humiliate him in front of everyone, especially after she had boasted about treating him to the finest meal in the resort. Their orders arrived, the chef's special, each dish more exquisite than the last. The table was adorned with decadence, but so was Lara's devious intent. She held her breath as the moment approached. "Oh, come on Leo, we were school friends, and you are making me pay for your lunch...! You are such a filthy bastard"Leo slammed the table and stood up, "You haven't changed a bit Lara, once a gold digger stays a gold digger" As the waiter cleared their plates, Leo casually reached into his pocket and pulled out a platinum credit card, the kind that was reserved for the elite. Lara's eyes widened in disbelief. Her friends dropped their jaws in shock. They were sure that Lara told them that this guy
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 29 A challenge...!

However, all reasoning ceased when he laid eyes on the grand edifice that stood before him. His heart skipped a beat, leaving him utterly stunned. For a while, he forgot to close his dropped jaw.That island was more than just what is called beautiful.It was astonishing and can make anyone in awe. But the mansion before him had left behind even the most beautiful Royal forts in terms of architecture.In truth, Leo wasn't entirely sure of his purpose for being there but he was content that he was able to explore such an elegant masterpiece. A well-dressed man approached him, but instead of being the person Leo was supposed to meet, the man introduced himself as the mansion's butler.

Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 30 Revenge...!
Amid Leo's shock, the old woman's gaze remained distant, as if her memories were playing out before her in real time. Her words hung heavy in the air, shrouded in mystery and sorrow. Surprised by what he just heard, Leo jolted asking her."Another life... How many had been killed already?" Leo's voice was tinged with disbelief, his heart racing as he tried to make sense of the woman's cryptic words. The old woman's transparent form seemed to waver for a moment as if struggling to convey the weight of her story. She turned her gaze back to Leo, her eyes now filled with determination. "They killed eight of the office accountants that had discovered their plans" Leo gaped shockingly. "Listen closely, young man. My name was Evelyn, and I am the owner of this mansion. That manager handled financial matters, managing the estate's accounts and ensuring its prosperity. I trusted him but my trust was betrayed by the very man whom I entrusted with this responsibility." Leo leaned in, capti
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 31 A new experience...!
As all her untold intentions come to reality, the energy in the room shifted, and the woman's form flickered as if caught between two worlds. "You've given me a way to remember, I will remember you forever, my boy," she whispered, her voice quivering with emotion. With a sense of finality, Eevlyn's form brightened, and a radiant light enveloped her. The room seemed to vibrate with harmonious energy as her figure began to dissolve, the glow intensifying until it filled the room completely.In a gentle burst of light, the spirit vanished, leaving behind a lingering sense of tranquility. The locket lay on the table, its surface gleaming as if touched by otherworldly magic. Leo picked it up, his heart heavy yet lightened by a profound sense of fulfillment. He held it near his heart, though he just met that old lady, she gave him the touch of the family love he never had before.As he held the locket, he knew that his time with the spirit had been a unique gift—one that transcended the
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 32 Houseboat...!
It was Leo's first experience traveling in a houseboat and to his satisfaction, the houseboat that he was traveling in was a masterpiece of craftsmanship itself and opulence, boasting elegant interiors adorned with rich fabrics, polished wood, and an array of nautical-themed decor. Leo couldn't help but marvel at the intricate details that adorned every corner, from the intricately carved furniture to the softly glowing lanterns that cast a warm, inviting glow in the evening. As the houseboat gently set sail, Leo found himself mesmerized by the changing hues of the sea and the gentle caress of the ocean breeze. He reclined on a plush couch near the wide windows, allowing the stunning vistas to unfold before him like a living painting. With each passing moment, the worries of everyday life seemed to fade away, replaced by a sense of tranquility that he had rarely experienced before. The two men other than Leo on the yacht gave him the privacy he needed to enjoy his ride. Out of al

The beggar snatched the food from her hands but then paused. Jessica wasn't brothered at all, instead, she wanted to help that beggar by lending him some more money. Then suddenly the stopped and was mumbling something to himself. "Th...thank ...y...you..." Slowly, he raised his head, and for the first time, Jessica got a good look at his face. His eyes were sunken, his skin weathered, and his hair matted with dirt, but there was something familiar about him that she couldn’t quite place. As he looked at her, a faint glimmer of recognition flickered in her eyes. Jessica was dumbfounded. Was that man...!! Was that him? “Thank you, young lady,” the man mumbled, his voice raspy with exhaustion. “Thank you so much for the food. My son is still waiting for me. He must be so hung

Chapter 109 The strange encounter...!
Author's point of view... That day, Leo felt so uncomfortable even to spend another second there, wasting time. After grabbing something to eat, Leo and Jessica arrived at the NGO with a sense of urgency, the weight of their mission pressing down on them. The place was quiet, with only a few staff members moving about. They immediately recognized Jessica as she was a volunteer there. Jessica led the way, her mind racing with memories from years ago. They were here to search through the records, hoping to find any information about the man she had encountered during a medical camp—a man she now knew was Leo's father, Renard Edward Connard, her Aunt's husband. When asked, the staff told her that those records might be destroyed as if had been so long. But Jessica insisted on checking them. They poi red towards a shabby room. The records room was tucked away in a corner of the building, a small, dusty space filled with rows of old files and boxes stacked high. Jessica hesit

Chapter 108 The man in the photo...
Author's point of view... The first light of dawn crept into the room, casting a soft glow over the sleeping figure on the bed. Jessica stirred, blinking her eyes open as she adjusted to the early morning light. She stretched, feeling the cool air against her skin, and realized with a start that Leo wasn’t anywhere in the room. Panic gripped her momentarily as the memories of the previous day's events came flooding back. Leo had returned late, his mind elsewhere, burdened with a weight he couldn’t fully comprehend. He hadn’t come to the room after that. Where is he? Worried, Jessica slipped out from under the covers and rushed out of the bed to looked around. As she padded towards the terrace, she didn't find any trace of him, there either. Her breath caught in her throat as she stepped outside. Did he go somewhere?Did something happen again? Jessica recalled everything, how Leo seemed to be worried last night and she panicked at the thought of something going wrong wit

Chapter 107 We will meet again...Mom...!
Author's point of view... Leo was puzzled. He couldn't understand what mystery this was. Should he laugh or cry? Mr. Renard Connard read the father's name again, then shifted his gaze towards the column of his mother's name, Helen Connard...! Helen was his birth mother?? He flipped over the photograph to see the faces of his parents once again, more clearly. However, just as he took it out again, the shocking resemblance took him aback. Tears filled his eyes again. "This...!!" He quickly reached for the other paper, pulling out the letter with trembling fingers. His heart pounded as he unfolded it, recognizing the worn edges of a note written in haste. As his eyes darted across the page, the truth hit him like a punch to the gut. It was a letter from his father. *Renard Edward Connard.* Leo’s knees nearly buckled as he read, the weight of the words sinking into him like an anchor. The letter explained everything—how his father had left him at the orphanage when he wa

Chapter 106 Mr. and Mrs. Connard...!!
Author's point of view...The envelope was empty...! Leo snuck his fingers into it and checked it again and again. A surge of frustration shot through him. He clenched his fist, trying to contain the anger bubbling beneath the surface. How could the system betray him like this? He had done everything and sacrificed so much, only to be left with nothing. Jessica, sensing his distress, placed a hand on his arm. “Leo? What’s wrong?” Leo pulled himself back immediately, he can't let her worry. He forced a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “It’s nothing,” he lied, his voice tight. “Just... something which I didn't expect.” Jessica frowned, but she didn’t press further. She could feel the tension radiating from him and knew better than to pry. Instead, she stood by his side, offering silent support as Leo grappled with the storm of emotions inside him.Leo felt cheated, betrayed but he didn't let it show on his face. At least, he can't tell this to anyone. Controlling himself w

Chapter 105 Empty...!
Author's point of view... Leo and Jessica walked side by side down the quiet street, the Connard estate fading behind them. They took a taxi back to the city. Daniel had taken care of everything about his restaurant. After giving up on all those luxuries that the system had provided him, the only thing that Leo had now was his restaurant, as the system believed that it was solely his hard work. And he deserved it. The villa he bought was under the name of Connard estates and so he had to leave it behind. Now, Leo was back in his small shabby room on the terrace of the restaurant. When they reached their restaurant, its closed doors greeted them with an eerie silence, offering a rare moment of privacy. The employees were all tired after the chaos that they had suffered, and because of this, Leo had given them all a few day's leave. Everybody needs some time for themselves, including him. As they stepped Inside, the space felt strangely peaceful, as though it, too, had b

Chapter 104 Be my son...!
Author's point of view... Helen stood tall, but her strength was faltering. She had just witnessed everything. The boy she raised as her son wanted to kill her. The weight of everything, the betrayal, the revelations, the heartbreak, seemed to crash down on her all at once. Her breath became shallow, her body swaying on weakened legs. Before anyone else could react, Leo rushed forward, catching her just as her body began to give way. "Ma'am, be careful...!" The moment his hands touched her, an electric jolt seemed to pass through Helen. She blinked in daze, looking up at Leo as if seeing him in a new light. His steady, concerned gaze met hers, and for a fleeting second, she thought of her son, her real son, the boy she had lost so long ago. He would be around Leo’s age now. How different things might have been had he lived. Leo gently eased her into a chair, his touch careful, almost reverent. His presence brought her a small measure of comfort, a warmth she hadn’t felt i

Chapter 103 You tried to kill me??
Author's point of view... The gun in Alvin's hand dropped as he saw Helen standing before him. Helen stepped forward, her eyes scanning the room, filled with sorrow and disappointment. “I never thought my own family would betray me,” she said, her voice soft yet firm, carrying the weight of a truth long hidden. Leo and Jessica exchanged glances before stepping forward at Helen’s call. They approached her, and she placed a gentle hand on each of them, her grip weak but meaningful. “If not for them,” Helen continued, her gaze settling on Alvin, “I would have died long ago in that accident.” Her voice cracked, but she held her composure. “Jessica, Leo, they were the only ones who stood by me. Jessica, at my request, carried out this entire plan so we could unearth the truth about the accident. And now, it’s clear… it was my own family behind it, the son I raised...” her eyes filled with tears. It was true that she wanted to find her lost son but she never treated Alvin as
