“Wait!” Finn quickly stopped him. “I think I used the wrong finger. Let me try my index, I remember now.”
“Are you trying to play a trick on me?” The Manager asked cautiously. “It won't end well for you.” Finn nodded in understanding. “Yeah, and I’ll advise you not to threaten me. It won't end well for you either.” The manager blinked, noticing the confident expression on Finn. The young man looked completely unfazed. The manager exhaled deeply, thinking to himself, “If his index finger also fails, is he going to try his middle finger then? What is he going to do if none of his fingers works?” Whatever! If Finn didn't pass the verification this time, he would call the police and get him arrested. Just when the manager was lost in his thoughts, Finn already pressed his index finger into the verification area. The equipment emitted a faint hum as a green light illuminated its surface. On the LCD screen, text scrolled into view: Verification Successful Family Account ID: 05 Identifier: Finnick Lachlan L… Account Number: 051543 The manager was stunned for a moment Blinking to regain his composure, he looked at Finn in disbelief and respectfully bowed to him. “Forgive me for my rudeness earlier, Mr. Lachlan. Nice to meet you, Sir. I haven't introduced myself. I am Callum Fitzroy, the Citadel City Branch’s customer manager.” Finn nodded dismissively. “So how much do I have in my account? I need to know.” “I’ll check that as soon as possible, Sir.” After saying that, Callum sat in front of the computer and began to operate on it. After a few seconds, “Done, Mr. Lachlan.” He pressed a button on the screen, and the chart of Finn’s account appeared. “Mr. Lachlan, your personal account currently has two hundred and fifty… billion dollars.” As Callum read the number, he couldn't help but swallow hard in astonishment, his eyes wide open in shock. He was beyond amazed. Finnick was only 20 years old, yet he already had this much money and assets. Ordinary people can’t earn that much in a lifetime. Finn stared at the numbers on the screen, and honestly, he was amazed. He had been so poor for three years that his situation was feeling too good to be true. The manager cleared his throat, trying to gain his composure. “Uh, Sir, you also have other assets. Let me update you on their status.” Twenty surveillance videos appeared on the screen. “These are the surveillance images of your real assets in other places,” Callum explained to Finn and clicked one of the images which was a high-end Rolls-Royce Phantom. Callum clicked the images for Finn one by one. “Uh… wow, starting with The Azure Star, your rare blue sapphire, it’s currently secured in our high-security vault of Citadel City. It underwent its scheduled inspection last week, and its value remains impeccable. The Crimson Flame, the Burmese ruby is housed in our Arlathian Reserve, where it continues to be monitored by our specialized gem experts. Meanwhile, The Emerald Horizon has been transported to the Elysian Depository in Solhaven as per requested. Your vehicles are all accounted for. The Phantom Eclipse, your Rolls-Royce, is currently stored in the Eclipse Tower Garage here in Ironspire. The Velvet Thunder, the Aventador, remains in its climate-controlled suite at the Lythorne Showroom. And, of course, the Golden Viper, your Aston Martin, is locked down in our private storage facilities at Crestfall. As for your properties, there's Oceancrest Manor, the coastal estate here in Citadel City. A penthouse in Skylume City. A mountain lodge in the Ashgard Peaks, Solhaven Estate, and your beachfront villa in Lumecrest. There's also fine art collections which are meticulously managed, a Yacht, The Midnight Tide stationed in Citadel City Marina, and then, there's your private jet, Celestial Wing, which remains on standby in the Citadel Aerodome.” The manager blinked in fear and glanced at Finn who stared at the screen. The young man was certainly no joke. Finn bobbed his head, realizing his father was really prepared for his comeback. He had mansions, a private jet, a yacht, and even cars he never had before. It was also nice to know that his precious gems were taken care of. He inherited most of them from his late mother. “Well, I need a bank card now,” he told Callum. Callum immediately nodded. “Yes, Sir. I’ll work on it as soon as possible!” Callum personally went to make a card for Finn. In just ten minutes, he came back with a Supreme Card. He held the card to Finn with both hands like it was a fragile object. “Mr. Lachlan, this is your card.” Finn took the card, staring at it back and front, and wasted no time in making his way out. “Mr. Lachlan, please wait!” Callum yelled. He didn't dare neglect a big client like Finn. He must personally walk Finn out. But he had to turn off the property system of his computer, and he hadn’t even put the fingerprint verification device back into the safe. By the time he did all that, Finn already opened the door and left. In the main hall, Verna was pacing around, waiting anxiously. “Why isn't he out yet? Is the customer manager stupid not to notice who must have entered the room?” The longer Finn stayed inside, the more scared she was. Her eyes widened in alarm as she saw him casually walk out of the VIP room. It aggravated her. “Hey, stop right there, you damn bastard! You trespassed into the VIP room without permission. Once we confirm there are no losses, I will let the guards deal with you!” She rushed up to him and grabbed his hand like he was a criminal. “Hey!” Finn immediately snatched his hand away causing Verna to stagger, almost falling. “What the hell is your problem?” Angry, Verna rushed to start searching him. She searched his pockets and brought out the Supreme Card. “Hah! What is this?” She questioned him with an accusatory tone and a stern gaze.“You’re nothing but a thief! What kind of parents raised you, huh?! You will spend the rest of your life in prison, I’ll make sure of that!”Of course, Verna did not think that the card belonged to Finn. It was preposterous. How could a pauper-looking guy like him own a Supreme Card? It was unthinkable.He must have stolen it from the VIP room when the manager wasn’t paying attention. That must have been his goal all along.“Sly criminal…”“Give it back to me!” Finn demanded.“No!” Verna yelled at him. “Don’t think you're ever gonna get away with this, you thief!”A crowd of people, upon hearing the commotion, had already surrounded them. They joined Verna to berate Finn with condescending looks.Meanwhile, after putting everything in place, Callum finally made his way outside, hoping he would be able to meet up with Finn.That young man was his biggest client as of that moment. He had never seen such assets from someone clearly in his twenties, a college student. Who really was he?
Inside the classroom, their curious eyes shifted from Dana, Jerome, and then Finn who just sat there, staring at the book in front of him like he didn't just see his girlfriend kissing another man.They all knew about Finn and Dana’s long relationship. But they didn't know they had broken up Finn tried not to care even though he felt disgusted.Last night wasn’t the first time he’d delivered condoms to Jerome. In fact, it was the sixth—each time for a different woman. And who knows how many more times Jerome had actually remembered to bring protection himself?He found Dana pathetic being with someone like Jerome. She must feel so proud, but ignorant.Jerome grabbed her waist with a smirk and was about to take her out of the room, but she immediately said, “Love, wait, there's something I need to return to Finn.”Finn turned his gaze toward Dana.She walked toward him and slammed something on his desk in front of him. Then she removed her hand.“I think this belongs to you.”It was a
The only reason why Finn went to the Palate Haven, a restaurant only for the rich kids in school, was because Nick wanted it. He was just one of the many people good to him since the start of school.Nick was his best friend. When Nick saw him, he was happy and he quickly led Finn to a private dining room on the second floor.When he entered, he met more familiar faces.Nick’s other friend, Billy Jones, Angela, and two of her female friends were present.And none of them liked him which made the situation more awkward.Billy had a deep glare at him which was actually understandable after a huge fight happened between them, and he broke a nose and fractured a hand.For Finn, though, it had been one of the best days of his life. He wanted nothing more than to crack a joke about Billy finally being free of his cast, but for once, he decided to hold his tongue.Upon seeing Finn, they all suddenly laughed.Wanting in on the reason for the sudden laugh, Nick asked with an amused smile. “Wh
“W-what?” Angela stuttered with an incredible look on her face. “How can it be that expensive? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?”The waiter frowned and handed the bill to Angela. He explained, “The dishes each of you consumed are a total of $3500, and the red wine you ordered cost a thousand dollars. The lady next to you ordered two extra bottles of imported red wine which are five thousand dollars per bottle…”The moment the waiter said that, everyone gasped and looked at Rita who sat next to Angela.“You ordered two bottles of imported red wines?! For what?!” Angela asked her.Everyone was watching her.Rita panicked and explained with a pale face. “I’m sorry… I didn't know how expensive it was. I'm so sorry, Angela.”“Well, sorry won’t cut it!” Angela yelled at her. “Fourteen thousand five hundred dollars, and I've only got five thousand!” She let out a deep breath and looked at the waiter. “Can we just return the bottles of wine?”The waiter shook his head with a stern face
Nick looked at Finn with uncertainty. “Are you sure about this? You won't get paid, and it will be a waste of your time. Don't you have part-time jobs to go to?”Finn just shrugged.Angela looked at all of them with fear in her eyes. “Are you guys agreeing to this? This bastard is telling them to beat me.”“Don’t worry, I think ten slaps will suffice. It won’t kill you, just enough to remind you to watch what you say next time,” Finn said with a teasing smirk.Angela’s breath was getting heavy. “No…”Rita immediately chimed in, “I’m sure you can do this for us, Angela. I promise, I will give you the LV bag my boyfriend got for me, the one you like…”“Why don't you fucking call your so-called boyfriend to get us out of here?! Oh, wait, there's Jerome in the other room, I need to go to him…” As she moved, the guards blocked her path. “Please, I need to…”Slap!Angela gasped, feeling the sting, and she staggered to the side in shock.She glared at the guard and everyone else aside Finn s
Finn rolled his eyes the moment he heard his father’s voice. He looked at Nick, and said, “There’s somewhere I need to be now. Let’s talk later.Nick nodded in understanding. “Okay, man. Thank goodness today didn't ruin your part-time job. I’ll just take Angela home,” he said and walked away.Finn also began to walk as he replied to his father. “Long time, indeed, Dad.”“I trust you've learned your lesson,” his father, Mr. Baron Lancaster said over the phone.Finn nodded. “I certainly did learn enough for three years.”“Hmm… why does your tone suggest otherwise?”Finn scoffed, and replied, “I didn't know you sent me out of the house to suffer just so I could change how I speak, Dad.”Mr. Baron replied, “I guess people don't change that easily. All I wanted was for you to stop being such a pain. You needed a wake-up call. Now, I wanna ask. Would you stop being a pain?”Finn smiled and answered, “Of course not, Dad. You know me. But I will try.”“Wow. Three years certainly wasn't enough
It was raining heavily at nine O'clock in the evening in Citadel City.Finnick Lachlan was on his bed in his dorm room, staring at the ceiling while his two roommates snore away.Then his cell phone suddenly rang.He quickly answered it to avoid waking up his roommates.“Hey, I need a box of Trojan condoms and two packs of tissues. Send them to room 1201 of the Luxe Hotel. Hurry up!”It was Jerome Danvers from school.“Alright,” Finn shook his head with a low scoff.‘That horny fool is at it again. How does he always forget to make full preparations before having sex? If it wasn’t for the tip…’Finn needed Jerome’s money since his girlfriend had always wanted to try the newly opened Michelin restaurant for a long time, but he was just too poor to afford it, although he had been saving money for it for a while. With this tip, it would be close to enough to finally be able to buy dinner for his girlfriend.Finn quickly got off the bed, put on a raincoat, and headed out into the rain on
“What?”Finn’s eyes widened as he stared at Dana.“We’ve been together for more than a year. Now you want to break up with me for him?”“Yes!” Dana answered sharply. “I feel absolutely nothing but disgust for you right now, no feelings whatsoever because you don't deserve it! And why are you so surprised about that, huh?! I mean, take a good look at yourself in the mirror! Always wearing cheap clothes. How can you afford me the life that I truly deserve?! Do you know the others are always secretly laughing at me for being with you? You have no money, no power. That is not the life I want! I am so beautiful and young, and I deserve to be with someone better than you! I told you several times that I wanted to try that Michelin restaurant, it has been over a month, Finn, and you did nothing?! Are you even a real man?! Unlike you, my love, Jerome, not only took me to the Michelin restaurant, he also bought me a lot. Someone as ordinary and cheap-looking as you can not afford to buy one of
