2024-12-26 17:33:32"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. What he remembered was that just before, his whole body had felt excruciating pain, to the point where he thought he was going to die. But then, the pain faded completely, as if it had never happened. In fact, he felt more energized now.
"Hey, loser, wake up! You’ve been thrown out. No one wants you anymore. So, hurry up and finish this. Take the papers and sign them!" His brother-in-law, Tommy Moore, urged him. His voice snapped Jack out of his daze.
Jack looked around at the people nearby. He realized that no one else could see the transparent screen except for him.
Although he was still confused about what had happened to him, Jack’s mind drifted back to the memory of his wife’s affair when their eyes met. In an instant, Jack’s teeth clenched, his chest burned, and his throat felt like it was choking.
Seeing the anger on Jack's face, his mother-in-law became irritated. "Stop acting ridiculous! We are the ones who have the right to be angry here, because we are the victims. As for you, you should be grateful that we've taken you in. If it weren't for our kindness and generosity, you'd have been a beggar long ago!"
"Mom, enough. I don't want any more drama. And Jack... I want us to part on good terms, without any drama," Elena said, shooting her husband a sharp look. "Listen, even if you kneel and kiss my feet, I still want a divorce. So, don’t stop me again."
To her surprise, Jack quickly responded, "Okay."
Elena froze for a moment because she had imagined Jack would cry, holding onto her feet, begging her to stay together. Then Jack would offer all sorts of things to convince her. Elena's assumption wasn’t unreasonable, considering how Jack had always seemed to love her deeply, unable to live without her, willing to do anything for her.
Who would have thought Jack’s response would be the opposite? His voice sounded so confident.
Elena clenched the fabric of her skirt, realizing that Jack didn’t seem to care at all about the divorce. Half-shouting, she challenged him, "Okay! Then hurry up and sign these divorce papers!"
"Of course." Jack took the divorce papers Elena handed him and quickly signed them. Then, he pulled Victor’s hand.
“What are you going to do?" Elena cried out in panic, fearing Jack might take out his anger on Victor.
Ignoring his ex-wife, Jack smiled at his former boss, "Thank you for taking a bunch of parasites off my hands. Good luck moving forward!" He patted Victor on the shoulder.
Everyone's mouths dropped open in disbelief!
"How dare you! Get out of this house!" Tommy, who had grabbed Jack’s suitcase, threw it at him. "Take your junk scooter too." He pointed to the scooter that Jack’s sister-in-law, Helen Moore, had just pulled out of the garage.
"Father-in-law, the garage needs to be expanded to fit the car I’m gifting you," Victor said, making Elena's family excited.
Jack gave a crooked smile. He picked up his suitcase and walked toward the scooter. People laughed at him, celebrating his expulsion, including Elena. Before leaving the house, he had bought with his savings, Jack turned to look at them.
‘You will regret this,’ Jack thought.
On purpose, Victor wrapped his arm around Elena’s waist. "Honey, Jack is waiting for a farewell wave from you."
"That’s not necessary. We should go inside now. Two good things should be celebrated, right? Our engagement and my divorce from Jack."
They cheered as if they had won the lottery, leaving Jack alone in the yard.
Jack sat on the scooter. The engine roared to life. He sighed and closed his eyes.
[Ding!]
[An additional balance of 10 trillion dollars has been added to your bank account!]
"What?" Jack’s eyes widened so much it seemed like they might pop out.
[Congratulations, Sir. You are now free from the parasitic family. Please accept this gift from me. Don’t forget to celebrate!]
Jack frowned. First, it was 100 million dollars, and now 10 trillion dollars? Just thinking about it made Jack too afraid to imagine.
How could someone receive such a huge sum of money so easily? Impossible!
However, as before, to dismiss Jack’s doubts, a notification from Greatest Bank came through, informing him of a transaction adding funds to his account.
Jack turned off the scooter. With trembling hands, he opened his mobile banking app to confirm. Once his PIN was entered, Jack’s eyes widened again. "No way..."
Jack remembered the mysterious voice he had heard earlier. Hesitantly, he called out, "Super Wealth System?"
[Yes, sir. You can call me ‘System’ for short.]
"Why are you giving me so much money?"
[Because you have been chosen as the Host of this system, sir. I will stay attached to you and cannot be transferred to anyone else. Not only money, but various skills and other interesting rewards can be obtained once you complete missions.]
"Missions?"
[Correct. Various missions will be given, with rewards that match! Today, you’ve divorced your unruly wife. I’m happy for you. You deserve a woman of a higher class. Celebrate your freedom, sir! A five-star restaurant is just two kilometers away.]
Jack chuckled at the System’s tone, which seemed almost annoyed with Elena. He started his scooter again to head out. "Alright, I’ll have some fun!"

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. This felt like a dream
