2024-12-26 14:56:16“What the hell is this?! Get out, both of you! Get out, damn it!”
Jack Hall slammed his hand against the window of the white car that had stopped in his yard, after seeing his wife, Elena Moore, making out with his manager.
Earlier, Jack had been busy helping his wife's family decorate the living room with ribbons, flowers, and colorful balloons for some kind of celebration. He had come home early from his business trip out of town, but was not even given a chance to drop his suitcase in the bedroom or change clothes.
Though unsure, Jack assumed that the decorations were for his own birthday. That was why he had returned home earlier than planned, wanting to surprise his beloved wife.
Little did he know, it was Jack himself who would be the one shocked—more accurately, in a state of complete disbelief!
Elena and Victor Exton, Jack's manager, gasped. They had no idea that Jack was home. They got out of the car anxiously.
“Honey, it's not like you think.”
“That's right, Jack. Don't take this the wrong way. It's really not what it looks like. I can explain.” Victor assured.
With a trembling hand Jack pointed his index finger at Victor. “Shut your mouth! In my waking state I can clearly see what you're doing.”
“Jack, you misunderstand. Victor only gave me a ride. He just drove me home after shopping alone. That's all! We didn't do anything inappropriate.”
Jack laughed bitterly. “That's all? Oh, then what did I just see? This guy gave you artificial respiration when you were perfectly healthy? And as a sign of gratitude, you stuck out your tongue? What kind of silliness are you trying to explain?”
Elena pressed her lips together before grabbing Jack's arm. “Honey ....”
“Get your hands off me!” Jack hissed, glaring sharply at his wife, who was shaking her head. “I can’t believe you’re doing this. While I’m working so hard for you and your family, you’re cheating with my boss? You’ve lost your mind, Elena!”
The only reason Jack had stayed quiet and put up with the mistreatment from Elena’s family was because of Elena herself. He didn’t mind living with her annoying parents and siblings for her sake. After almost a year of marriage, they had been a harmonious couple, deeply in love. Jack had never suspected anything because Elena was always so kind and sweet to him. But this time, her true face was revealed.
Not willing to accept the blame so easily, Elena defended herself. “You can’t put all the blame on me, Jack. Don’t you get it? This is all your fault.”
“My fault?” Jack pointed to himself in disbelief.
“YES!” Elena answered loudly and firmly. “If you had just tried a little harder to make me happy, I wouldn’t have betrayed you.”
Jack laughed while placing his hands on his hips. He had certainly put in a lot of effort. Jack was willing to spend day after day outside the city, often working overtime, and still had to complete unreasonable household chores. He ignored Elena's family's discrimination, even acting as if everything was perfectly normal.
So, was his wife really blind or what?
"You are too poor to buy me branded items, dine at upscale restaurants, or live in a luxurious house. I admit you are a hard worker and diligent. But Jack, being full is not enough. Buying clothes and shoes means nothing. I suffer having to restrain myself from going out with my friends because what I have is not enough to sparkle."
Elena complained again, "You always work and work, but there is no result. I know for sure, even if you spend your entire life working, you will never be able to provide me with any luxury, because you are just a salesperson, Jack. Whether you are here with me or not, it does not change the situation. I still have to be patient and patient. Sorry, but I am not that stupid to waste my precious life in poverty."
Jack bowed for a moment without removing the smirk from his face. Below him, he saw a pair of worn-out shoes wrapping his feet. Buying new shoes would clearly not exhaust his salary, but Jack did not do that for Elena.
“Ridiculous.”
Hearing the murmurs from his subordinates, Victor responded, "Jack, you shouldn't blame Elena for your failure as a husband. Elena is just looking for a man she can rely on, someone who can fulfill her desires, and of course, make her happy. You don't have any of those qualities. It's not your wife's fault if she finds that in me. If anyone is to blame in all this, it's clearly you!"
"Absolutely right!" Jack's mother-in-law chimed in. Jack had no idea when she and the others had stood by the door, watching everything unfold. She stepped forward to scold him. "You poor man, you should be thanking Victor for giving Elena what you couldn’t. He’s willingly taken on the responsibilities of being her husband, son-in-law, and even brother-in-law!"
Jack laughed loudly, shaking his head. "Is that what you're saying, Mother, to justify Elena's affair with this damned man?"
"Jack! Watch your words!" his mother-in-law shouted loudly. "I won't allow anyone to insult my daughter's future husband!"
Jack's eyebrows knitted together. "How can Elena have a future husband when I’m still her legal husband?"
"Well then, just get a divorce!" Jack's father-in-law said casually.
"Good idea, Uncle! I’m sure Elena doesn’t want a jobless husband." Victor shifted his gaze to Jack. "Yeah, Jack, you’re right. I’m firing you right this second, with NO SEVERANCE PAY."
Victor walked closer to Jack and whispered, "This is the consequence of daring to insult me."
Jack clenched his fists as his jaw tightened. His eyes reddened, staring at Victor almost without blinking.
Victor laughed, knowing Jack couldn’t do anything. He turned and walked toward Elena. Grasping both of her hands, Victor said, “Elena Moore, would you marry me?”
“Damn, what the hell is this? How dare you propose to my wife in front of me?!”
Victor’s eyes challenged Jack. He curled one side of his lip and rolled his eyes before saying, “Aren’t you two getting a divorce? As a good boyfriend, shouldn’t I propose to Elena? She’s incredible, and there isn’t a man who wouldn’t be tempted by her.”
“Boyfriend?!”
“Yes! Elena and Victor have been dating for three months. What was the point of the decorations you put up in the living room earlier? It was clearly for their engagement party!” said the brother-in-law while glaring at Jack.
Jack smirked, looking at everyone one by one. His jaw tightened, recalling that in the past three months, he had always been on official duty outside the city every week.
“Jack, you know as well as I do that if it weren’t for Victor, our divorce would have happened a long time ago. I have given you a chance, but you still ended up being the loser.”Elena opened Victor’s car door to get something and handed it to Jack. “This is the divorce file. I should have given this to you next week. But since you already know what’s really going on today, it’s better. Getting divorced quicker will be better for both of us.”
Jack stared at the map filled with divorce documents. The sweet memories of marrying Elena flashed through his mind.
[Ding!]
[Host detected! The Super Wealth System will be installed shortly!]
"W-what?" Jack didn't understand the voice in his head.
He didn’t even know who was speaking. However, after that, Jack felt something coursing through his entire body, accelerating his heartbeat and making his blood pulse rapidly.
Jack felt short of breath, his chest rising and falling, his face reddening and feeling hot. He felt like he was about to explode until his body went into convulsions.
[Installation complete. Congratulations Mr. Jack Hall, you are now the Host of the Super Wealth System. As a greeting, a balance of $100 million has successfully been added to your bank account.]

"Huh?"Jack blinked in surprise as a transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of him with a message that made no sense. However, moments later, the screen disappeared when his phone in his pocket vibrated, indicating an incoming message. He looked at it, and a notification popped up that made his eyes widen.‘[Greatest Bank] Your account ending in xxx77 has received a balance of USD 100,000,000.00.’"Impossible."At first, Jack thought the strange screen he had seen and the voice he had heard were just hallucinations caused by his chaotic thoughts and emotions. But it turned out it was real—he had actually received 100 million dollars!Clearly, it was an enormous amount! In fact, it was the largest balance Jack had ever had. Even if he had spent his entire life as the top sales with high sales, he would never have reached that figure, even if all his earnings were accumulated.Jack couldn’t understand how this had happened.

On his way to the restaurant, Jack's attention was caught by a sight when his scooter stopped at a red light. Under the shade of a large, leafy tree, a group of street children sat in a circle, huddled around food brought by a young woman. They looked happy, munching on pieces of bread wrapped in white paper.Jack's neatly aligned teeth were visible as he watched the young woman ruffle the hair of one of the children. "She’s a kind woman," he commented.[Her name is Emma Wexler, 24 years old, and she works as a waitress at a bakery. She often brings leftover food from her workplace for the street children. She rents a place in a densely populated area with her grandmother, which is about 500 meters from here.]Jack was stunned by the sophistication of the System, which could describe someone’s background in such detail. However, before he could respond, the honk of a car behind him pierced the air, signaling that the traffic light had turned green. Jack revved up his scooter again."S

Victor and Elena’s jaws immediately dropped to the floor. They blinked their eyes in disbelief at what they were seeing.This was Elena’s first time at SweetSky, but not Victor’s. He had been there many times, but never once had he seen a homeless person enter. Let alone homeless people, even middle-class individuals wouldn’t dare to step inside. They would go broke after dining there.So, what kind of madness had they just witnessed? He and Elena were still stuck outside, so how could homeless people be allowed in?Victor's chest rose and fell like it was going to explode. He shouted in the guard's face, “Why did you let them in? Are you an idiot or what?!”“What's going on, Mr. Victor?” A forty-year-old woman in neat clothes reprimanded, behind her the guard followed.Victor beamed with a smile. Hearing the restaurant manager acknowledge him and call his name, he clearly felt that he was not just any ordinary guest. The guards should know that!“Mrs. Sisca, thank you for coming so q

The elevator doors opened when it reached the first floor. Jack stepped out after observing the happiness of the guests upstairs. He walked slowly, sat in a simple chair reserved for him, right at the edge of the room, without a table.Jack smiled contentedly as he noticed the staff treating the guests very well, even though their appearance was clearly different from the usual guests at the restaurant."Would you like to sample our dishes, Sir? We would be happy to prepare it for you," a woman's voice surprised Jack. It wasn't a server; it was the restaurant manager herself.Jack smiled. "Maybe a cup of coffee."Mrs. Sisca called for a waiter, asking for authentic civet coffee to be made. She asked again, "Is there anything else, Sir? I apologize that the VVIP membership didn’t exist before; for now, only the VIP room is available. But don't worry, the dishes and service we offer are certainly more special than what the VIP members usually receive."In fact, Mrs. Sisca was a bit conf

[Congratulations, Sir, your vision is now normal.]Jack groped his eyes, repeatedly putting on his glasses only to take them off again, closing one eye alternately, and opening both eyes wide to look around. He smiled with emotion before bursting into uncontrollable laughter. Jack couldn't stop himself. It felt like being reborn, seeing the world so clearly, without the barrier of lenses.He vividly remembered how Elena and her family, as well as some of his former colleagues, often made jokes about his astigmatism. There was even a time when Tommy had deliberately taken and hidden his glasses. Somehow, Jack, who had to fumble around trying to find things due to his poor vision, had made Elena's family laugh heartily."System, how did you do it?" He still found it hard to believe.

Jack smiled sarcastically. He deliberately stepped hard on Paul's big toe. “Relax, Mr. Hogweed. I like a bargain.”Paul grimaced. Even though Jack's weight was far below his, it was still painful for Paul to have his big toe on a pedestal. But he couldn't get angry. Paul instead held Jack's foot, “Tell me sir, I'll do anything, as long as you keep my sins a secret from Grace.”Jack removed his foot from Paul's big toe. “That's easy. Do three things for me.”Paul paused for a moment to think. If it wasn't because of his wife, he wouldn't have done those three things for Jack, let alone kneel before him like he did now. Even so, he couldn't bargain.“Yes, sir, with pleasure,” he replied while holding back his irritation.“First, apologize to her.” Jack pointed at the woman named Laura Kills.Paul turned to Laura and gave her a sharp look. In his heart, he strongly opposed Jack's request. His pride was being torn apart! But his tongue tried to negotiate nicely, “Sir, I'll do anything, b

Entering the area of Paradise Roadway, Jack was greeted by the loud, lively music, the strong smell of alcohol, and the dim, colorful lights. Amidst the chaos, the flirtatious laughter of the women entertaining their clients could be heard."Sir, follow me," Laura whispered, walking quickly but stealthily.Seeing the anxious expression on Laura's face, Jack refrained from asking any questions. He followed her through the crowd, passing people dancing to the rhythm of the music.During the journey, Jack was surprised to learn that the brothel also sold clothes. He noticed display windows on both sides, complete with price tags hanging on the glass. Some items were even on sale for over 50% off. However, what was displayed in the windows were not mannequins, but real women and men.

The cheapest rental cost is, of course, for the standard room. These are small booths lined up, measuring 3x2 meters, containing only a bed."Do you know how much the rent is per night for the best room here?" Ava stared sharply at Jack while signaling for the executioners to return to her side.Jack didn't respond; instead, he looked at Laura, who appeared pale. He put his arm around Laura's. "Calm down, Miss, everything will be fine."“What's good?” Ava snapped. “At the very least, I'll shave his hair off to break even. She lost her crown for making me lose a customer.”“You're not going to do that.” Jack gave Ava a sharp look. “Get ready to kiss my feet.”Ava burst out laughing, as did the others.

“You bastard! You've got a big mouth, you fucking hobo!” snapped Jessy in exasperation.In her entire career as a prostitute at Paradise Roadway, this was the first time Jessy had ever seen a loser fight the most feared pimp there. It was also the first time she, Laura, and everyone else around her had seen Ava become more patient than usual. Now Ava just stares at her phone screen.“Mommy?” asked Jessy as she saw Ava's hands trembling.“Jack Hall...” Ava hisses, raising her gaze to Jack.“Yes, that's my name.”Ava succeeded in making everyone wide-eyed when she suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Jack.“Mommy, what are you doing?” Jessy bent down and pulled on Ava's arm, which was three to four times her size, intending to help Ava up.However, without giving any explanation, Ava firmly swatted Jessy's hand away, knocking her to the floor.Jessy is about to protest. But the next scene left her mouth wide open.“I'm truly sorry, sir. I'm so regretful,” Ava said as she bowed low,
