“Excuse me, does anyone of you name Christine Marquez in here?” Liam asked the cheerleaders inside the university gym.
The cheerleaders started to scream when they saw him.
“I’m sorry, she’s not here. But you can just give it to us, and we’ll just give it to her when she arrives back.” one of them said.
Because of Liam’s charm, the cheerleaders kept on flirting with him, and it made his job easier as well.
“Sure, can you pay it too? You can just ask her to pay for it.” he smiled.
Looks like the girls lose their control again making them squeal.
“Sure, no problem.” the woman said.
After she paid for it and handed in the parcel, Liam looked around and his eyes grew bigger when he saw his girlfriend.
“Megan?” he smiled.
He was ready to run toward her, but he stopped when a basketball player ran toward her and kissed her. Megan giggled and kissed him back.
“Wh-at? No, this isn’t happening!” he groaned.
He watched them as they flirted in front of him while controlling his anger. He just found out that he’s just in front of them already.
“Who are you?!” the guy asked him.
Megan was surprised to see Liam. She just looked away and fixed herself and then acted like she didn’t know him. Looking at the guy, Liam can see that he’s a rich kid.
“Come on, babe, ignore him.” Megan said.
Liam swallowed hard and angrily looked at her.
“Megan...” Liam called her name. Megan and the guy were both surprised.
“Megan? He knows you. Do you know him?” the guy asked her.
Megan just rolled her eyes and glared at Liam.
“Liam, what are you doing? Can’t you see we are doing something!” she groaned.
“Doing something? Flirting?” he scoffed.
Megan slowly walked toward him.
“He’s my boyfriend, Liam.” she whispered.
Liam’s eyes grew bigger. The madness inside him grew wider.
“Your boy-friend? But I am your boyfriend!” Liam said.
The rich kid couldn’t help but laugh, and Megan just laughed sarcastically. The rich kid looked at him and sneered.
“You? Her boyfriend? Oh, come on. A guy like you doesn’t deserve someone like you!” he scoffed.
Liam couldn’t move where he stood right now.
“Khaled? Why don’t we leave him? Let’s just go.” Megan said.
Khaled just smirked, staring at Liam.
“Wait, baby. I just want this man to stop daydreaming. Why is he saying he’s your boyfriend?” he asked Megan.
Megan just cleared her throat and looked at Liam. Liam just wants her to admit who he is.
“He’s just lying, baby. He’s just my ex-boyfriend. Maybe he just couldn’t accept me being with another guy that’s why.” Megan said as he clings her arm to Khaled’s arm.
Liam stood up frozen. He was too stunned to say what she just said.
“Megan, you are lying. Why are you doing this to me?” he calmly asked.
Megan just scoffed and put her arms crossed on her chest.
“Because I am already done with you. You’re poor and just a delivery staff. Of course, I need someone like Khaled, who is rich and can give anything I want. Liam, here’s the thing, you are kind and handsome, but you just can’t give me anything.” she pouted and smirked.
Khaled behind her laughed so hard. His friends from the football team even laughed too.
“See, you don’t deserve Megan at all, dude. So, just leave and never interrupt other’s business. Okay?” Khaled smirked.
Liam couldn’t do anything about the fact that he’s poor and weak. He was so heartbroken and furious.
“Let’s go!” Khaled said.
Megan just smiled at Liam and held Khaled’s arm. But he was more shocked when she laughed on his face and Khaled just pushed him to the floor.
“Aww, I am so sorry. I just hate people interrupting other people’s business.” Khaled said.
Liam couldn’t move or say anything. All he could do right now was to close his eyes after he bumped his head and just passed out. A few hours later, Liam opened his eyes and realized something was different inside him.
“Welcome to The Tycoon Game, Liam Flyn. You have only 3 days to spend your 1 million dollars, Mr. Liam Flyn.” a thing or like system inside his head said.
Liam groaned and covered his ears. It made him feel tingly.
“What the hell what was that?” he groaned.
“Liam Flyn, you’re awake.” someone said.
Liam carefully looked at the person wearing a white hospital gown in front of him. Liam just realized that he was in a hospital, but more like a systematic hospital. The surroundings are all glass and the place looked so expensive.
“Where am I?” he asked the man in front of him.
The man removed his face mask and took a deep breath.
“You’re here for a reason, Liam. Don’t be scared. I am not going to hurt you. I am Doctor Albert.” Albert smiled at him.
Liam just nodded.
“Wait, how did I come here? The last thing I remembered was at the university gym... … I know, I know. Your ex-girlfriend cheated on you and the guy pushed you resulting you to pass out.” Albert said.
Liam was surprised he knew all about the details.
“H-ow did you know?” he asked. Albert just shrugged his shoulder and smirked.
“Here’s the thing. Althea brought you up here for a reason and she will tell you everything.” Albert said.
“Althea? Who is she?” he curiously asked.
Doctor Albert just took a deep breath.
“We are under systematized tycoon ga me, and we could see everything that happened from our clients or patients. Basically, we can read their minds what happened before through machines. And you are chosen to participate in this game.” Albert smirked.
Liam still couldn’t get what he meant until he remembered what he heard inside his mind a while back.
“Wait, what game? I didn’t join any game! And I heard something inside me a while back. What was that?” he asked.
“Ohhh, yeah, yes, you can spend your 1 million dollars in three days, dear.” Albert said.
Liam was so shocked.
“Are you kidding me?! One million dollars in three days? Besides, why would I have that kind of money?!” Liam asked.
“I know this is hard to believe, but I know you’re going to understand everything. Yes, you must spendthat money but there are rules.” Albert said.The glass door just opened, and a beautiful woman showed up. Liam was so stunned to speak.“Thank you, Doctor Albert. I can talk to him right now.” the woman said.“Sure thing, Althea. Just explain everything to him and I need to see the other patients.” Albert smiledand left.Althea just took a very deep breath. She was carrying papers. Her beauty amazed him too much. Meganis pretty, but Althea’s beauty is very rare and unique.“How are you feeling?” she asked him.Liam shrugged his shoulder.“I don’t know. I am getting furious. The doctor... he says you were the one who took me here?” heasked.Althea just sighed and took a very deep breath.“Yes, he was right. You’re part of the tycoon game. And I bet you know about being a tycoon? You needto be a tycoon in order for you to win.” she answered.Liam was so shocked. Looking at her, he
Liam was so ready. Every time he thinks about Megan, he starts to feel mad at himself for being so poorand weak.“Now that I am rich, I don’t need to be weak. I am going to show them who is strong.” he mumbledwhile staring at his reflection.Althea showed up behind him and nodded.“It suits you perfectly. There is something I haven’t told you. I am your assistant and guide in this gameto make sur you’re not going to be eliminated.” she explained.Liam now fully understands it, but he doesn’t care if it is just a game or what.“Okay.” he answered.As they came out of the building, his eyes grew bigger to see other guys like him with their assistantstoo.“Wait, is there any women?” he asked Althea.Althea couldn’t help but chuckle a bit.“None, this game only requires male to participate.” she said.“Okay. That’s odd.” he mumbled.A car suddenly stopped in front of them. It was a very expensive one.“Good morning, where to?” the driver asked.Liam looked at the driver and he knew he
“O-kay, we can do that. Aren’t you going to buy toys and others for them as well?” she asked. Liam thought her idea was brilliant. After their schedule, they headed first to buy things for the kids and the sisters at the shelter. They even bought a lot of food and goods for them to consume for months. And that made them cost a lot, but Liam doesn’t care. “Liam! Where did you get your money to buy these things?” one of the sisters asked. Liam just smiled softly. He doesn’t know what to say. “Uhm, it’s from my savings.” he answered. His sister looked so confused staring at him. “Nah, I can’t believe you saved a lot of money just for us. I thought you wanted to build your own company?” she asked. Liam became shy when the sister said that, but it was already too late because Althea heard it. “Is that true? What business do you want to build?” she asked. The sister laughed and shook her head. “Liam is a very talented guy, Althea. Since he was young, he was good at all things. He
“Fine, you are right. I made up my mind last night. I am going to buy a newly made building and start my own business. In that way, the money is not wasted directly.” he said. Althea couldn’t help but smile. “Why are you smiling?” he asked her. Althea just shook her head. “You have the chance to be the winner, Liam. Right now, I am already proud of you.” she mumbled. Liam just scoffed and they both started to find a newly built company. As they contacted the best building and location they had seen, they quickly drove there, but... “We’re so sorry, someone already bought it first. Actually, they just came a few minutes before you.” the agent said. Liam and Althea were both furious. “Yes, but we told you we were on our way?” Althea asked. The agent shakes his head. “I can’t do anything. This is a first come first serve basis as what the owner. Besides, the new owner of this is just inside.” the agent said. The door burst opened, and Althea was surprised to see who the new o
"Wow! This is the place." Liam said.Althea couldn't say anything about the place either. It was very different from the first places they had seen and checked out. It was even more beautiful than the place Raven had taken in the first place."Liam, are we dreaming? This place is very unique same with it's price." she giggled.While they were chatting, someone came out of the building with a wide smile."Are you Liam Flynn and Althea?" he asked."Yes, we are here to check the building and the place, but I don't think we need to check it first because we are already buying it." Liam said with a smile.The guy was very surprised but it made him to chuckle."Is that so? Then, I would be happy to transfer this to you. Why don't we go inside and sign the papers?" the guy asked.Liam and Althea went inside and they were surprised to see how beautiful the place was. It just needs a little bit of renovation and painting because the place was almost abandoned. After signing the papers..."Cong
"Congratulations on passing the first step, Althea and Liam. I never thought you could pass this step when it was so hard to spend that kind of money." Albert smirked.Althea and Liam both chuckled."I know right? Liam spent the last money treating me to dinner. He's very considerate." Althea proudly said. Albert was very surprised."Ohh, wow! That was the first time I ever heard that. You are lucky then to be his assistant." Albert chuckled.Liam just laughed, but they were interrupted when Raven and his assistant, Marvin, arrived."Well, well, well, I never thought we could see each other again." Raven smirked.Althea sneered at him."Raven, they are not doing anything to you." Albert said."Albert, I didn't say they did something to me, okay? I am just here to congratulate them. Liam, you are lucky you passed, but I will make sure I will win." Raven smirked.Liam just nodded and took a deep breath."Let's see about that, Raven." he smirked back.Raven was challenged. He just glared
"Just make sure you will find something that we can use against him, Marvin. If he has any criminal record or killed someone but he didn't pay for it, we can all use that to bring down his name on the rank list." Raven said. Marvin just reassured me that to him."What about Althea? I think Althea is protecting him." Marvin said.Raven just groaned."Do not worry. I will take care of her. Althea is my ex-girlfriend, and I know she still has some feelings for me." he smirked."How sure are you?" Marvin asked.Raven's deadly stare at him just made him to nod and leave his office."I will make her fall for me again, and make her let Liam lose the game." he smirked.Days had passed, and Liam never thought about the game already, because Atlea told him to live without thinking about the game because this phase doesn't have any rules to follow."Good morning, sir." His secretary greeted him.He chose to hire a guy to be his secretary, and Althea was the one who hired him to make sure he coul
"Do you actually think that's nice advice to tell everyone? Humiliating Meg in front of everyone?" Khaled showed up. Liam just cleared his throat."Khaled, I didn't know you were here also. Meg? I didn't humiliate her." he said.Khaled just scoffed and shook his head."Come on, Liam. We both know you were talking about her. You knew the reason why she cheated on you, but you don't have the right to tell that to everyone like you didn't even love her." he said.Liam just sighed."You know what, I don't want to argue with someone right now, okay? I came here because I got an award and to socialize with people, and not to argue with you." Liam firmly said.Khaled was mocked. He wanted to hit Liam right now."Khaled, stop it, we are at the party. I bet you don't want to humiliate your dad." Megan arrived.Liam just smirked and sighed."You should listen to your girlfriend." Liam said."Stop it, Liam. You are just making the situation more bolder." Megan told him.Liam just scoffed and sip
