Part 2

Edward could not believe what he was seeing. He had never seen such a huge amount of money before in his life. He tried to calm himself down and think logically. Was this some sort of prank or scam? But as he looked at the Domination System screen in front of him, he could not deny the reality of the situation.

Suddenly, another message appeared on the screen.

[Ding! Obtaining 9 Domination Points.]

[Congratulations on receiving the initial prize. You can use the Domination Points to enhance your abilities or purchase various items.]

Edward's mind started racing as he thought about what he could do with all this wealth and power. He knew that he had to be careful and not attract too much attention. But first, he had to be sure of something.

"System, can you keep this a secret? I don't want anyone else to know about this." Edward said this in the quietest voice he could.

[Only you can see and hear the Domination System.]

Edward breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if anyone found out about this, he would be in extreme danger.

"So, what exactly is this Domination System?"

[The Domination System is a System that allows users to enhance their abilities and dominate the world. Users can use their Domination Points to improve their physical strength, mental abilities, gain special skills, and purchase a wide variety of items. The more powerful a user becomes, the more they can dominate the world.]

Edward's eyes widened at the words 'dominate the world.'

"Is that even possible?" he asked.

[Yes, for this world, it is possible. The Domination System can help the user gain power and control over various aspects of the world, including politics, economics, and military.]

Edward's mind was blown away by the possibilities. "How do I earn this Domination Points?"

[There are several ways to earn Domination Points, including completing missions, defeating enemies, dominating territories, and so on. As a beginner, it is recommended that you start by completing missions to improve your abilities.]

"Then how do I use the Domination Points to enhance my abilities?"

[To access the Domination Points menu, say 'Domination Path'. You can use the Domination Points to enhance your Strength, Intelligence, and Mentality. Each point will increase the corresponding attribute by one point. You can also purchase various items such as weapons, medicines, and skill books to help you achieve your goals.]

Edward nodded. "Domination Path."

A menu appeared in front of Edward.

[Ding! Domination Points Menu]

[1. Enhance Stats]

[2. Purchase Items]

[3. Purchase Skills]

Edward knew that he had to start small and work his way up. He selected option 1 and started to enhance his passive stats. As he closed his eyes and concentrated, he could feel the power coursing through his veins. He could feel his strength, intelligence, and mentality increasing rapidly.

Edward was stunned. He could not believe that such a powerful tool even existed. He had always been a humble and simple man, and he was not sure if he was ready to handle this kind of power.

After consuming his Domination Points, Edward's physical condition recovered in just a few hours. For now, he had no intention of visiting Emily's grandfather due to the dirty condition of his clothes.

"The money in my account is real. My healing rate is also ridiculous. Gosh, what should I do?" Edward was confused at first, but he quickly understood that the first thing to do was to change his appearance.

"Alright. Let's go to the Shennan Boutique."

Shennan's Boutique was one of the finest clothing stores in York city, and it happened to be not far from the hospital. So, Edward went on foot. He had long dreamed of buying clothes at that place.

When Edward arrived at the Shennan Boutique, it was eight o'clock in the evening. Luckily the boutique has not closed as there were still some customers. Although it was a boutique, the building was huge, with a total of five floors. Each floor was filled with different types of expensive and exclusive brands.

Since Edward had never been to the Shennan Boutique, he asked the guard at the entrance. "Excuse me, I want to---"

However, before Edward could complete his sentence, the security guard abruptly pushed his shoulder and shouted, "Get out of here! This place is not for a poor man like you!"

Edward's clothes were indeed full of beating stains, so he understood the other party's concern. "You won't even be able to imagine how much money I have. Now get out of my way."

The guard's jaw tightened. He felt Edward had insulted his judgment. "Do you think I'm blind and stupid? If you're so rich, how could you allow yourself to be this shabby? Go away, you poor thing! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to throw you to the curb!"

Edward was about to say something when he heard the doorbell ring, then two people came out with a lot of shopping bags.

"Edward?" One of them, Misha, was surprised when she saw Edward and immediately walked towards him.

Misha was Emily's friend. She was here with her boyfriend. Misha hated Edward because she thought that Edward was an obstacle to Emily's happiness.

Edward waved his right hand. "How are you, Misha? Where's your fat sugar daddy? Is this man his son?"

The man who was with Misha frowned but Misha was able to calmly respond. "Sugar daddy? Are you kidding? He's one of my uncles. What about you then? What are you doing here? Did Emily kick you out so you go around begging?"

Edward shrugged. "Whatever I do is none of your business."

"You!" Misha never thought that Edward could be so bold.

Edward ignored Misha as he walked towards the entrance, but the security blocked him once again.

"I told you this is no place for someone like you. Get out of here!"

The guard pushed Edward so roughly that Edward took two steps back. Unable to stand being treated like that, Edward rushed forward and slapped the security guard. The slap was so hard that the guard lost his balance and fell backwards.

This scene shocked everyone who passed by, and some of them whispered unpleasant words. Instantly, Edward became the center of attention.

"Who's that idiot?"

"Beggar wants to enter Shennan Boutique? He won't be able to buy anything even if he sells his heart and kidneys."

Misha suddenly shouted, "Where's the security team? There's a troublemaker here!"

A moment later, several guards came out from the main door. They walked in front of a beautiful woman wearing a tight blue dress.

"What's going on here?" This question came out from the mouth of the woman in the blue dress. She was Emma Shennan, one of the Shennan family members who own this boutique.

The guard who was hit by Edward hurriedly approached Emma. "Miss Emma, that poor man forced his way into the shop. He must be taught a lesson. You must---"

The guard did not dare to continue after seeing Emma raise her right hand.

After a moment of silence, Emma spoke to Edward, "In my boutique, the lowest price is twenty thousand dollars, not twenty dollars. I won't give you any trouble as long as you leave now."

In York city, Emma was known as a graceful and intelligent woman. She usually would not be rude as long as something could still be resolved in a delicate manner.

Edward smiled. He appreciated people like Emma. "Miss, I came here to buy some clothes, not to make any scene."

Misha shook her head and sneered. "Edward, are you deaf? Do you even have banknotes in your wallet?"

Edward did not respond. At the same time, Emma tried to evaluate Edward.

In Emma's eyes, Edward could not be an idiot. Despite his shabby appearance, he did not show any signs of lying.

"Your name is Edward, correct? We'll be closing soon. You can come another day with suitable clothes."

This was the best way according to Emma's version. Apart from avoiding a fuss for tonight, she would also not offend Edward in case Edward turned out not to be a poor man.

Edward, however, shook his head. "Give me two minutes, and I won't be back after tonight."

"Two minutes? Are you planning to hold Miss Emma and run off with some money? Edward! Do you think I don't know your plan?"

Misha's words made the man who went with her feel a bit embarrassed, but he decided not to leave since he was also curious about what Edward would do.

Edward smiled lightly. "What do you think, Miss Emma?"

Emma nodded faintly. "Two minutes. If you don't buy anything, I'll send you to jail on the pretext of fraud and battery of my employee."

"Deal. Let's go in."

Edward was very happy when he entered the boutique, which was luxurious beyond belief. However, he immediately felt uncomfortable once he stepped inside.

There were many people in the shop, mostly dressed in luxury clothes. Most of them were women, and all of them were attractive. In fact, they had the presence of a rich princes or princesses.

Even the shop assistants, they wear uniforms with high quality materials. They looked at Edward coldly as if they wanted to tell Edward that someone like him didn't belong here.

Edward ignored everyone's gaze and headed straight to the cashier.

"Good evening, Sir. How can we help you today? Do you need an outfit or accessories?" A very beautiful girl asked from behind the cashier's desk. She seemed to be quite young, perhaps twenty years old. A few moments ago, she was surprised to see someone shabby enter the store. However, she had to be professional because her boss, Emma, was watching her and this shabby man closely.

Edward nodded. "I want a plain white shirts and black trousers. The size should be the same as what I'm wearing."

The cashier girl glanced at Emma, as if seeking her opinion. She only spoke after receiving a vague nod from Emma. "May I know which brand do you want, and how many pieces?"

Edward rubbed his chin. He did not know which brands were available at Shennan Boutique. "Just put it this way. All brands in my size, I'll buy them all. Remember, not one for each brand, but all the stock for each brand."

"What?"
