Another ChosenApproximately ten meters from the Oceania Corporation, in an alley filled with trash cans, a lifeless body of a young man laid there in eternal silence.There was no heartbeat, no movement. The once ironed white shirt was now bloody and muddy. It had already been a few minutes since the deed was done, yet no one came to take a look. A life was snuffed out just like that. But in that ominous, sorrowful situation, a miraculous thing was happening... Even though he was confirmed dead by his assailants, and his heart had stopped beating, somehow his mind was still working.. or rather something else was going on in his subconscious mind.«Data collection complete.

System of Fortune[VERSALEEN TREAT UPPER RESTAURANT. VISTASKRIS NATION]The woman with a melon-seeded face, black hair and an appearance of 85 points, casually glanced at Atlas who was seated on the opposite side, drinking coffee, a look of disdain appeared on her face.For a while, the woman used a somewhat arrogant tone and said;“So this is all you can afford now? It is a pity that you have been reduced to such state. If you are hungry, I can order better food for you, besides I earn an annual salary of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).”Although Atlas was a bit handsome, Helen could not help but have a look of disdain on her face. This man had once tried to woo her, luckily she didn't fall for his words of a bright future, hence she will be here having coffee and soda biscuits for breakfast. Helen clicked her tongue in arrogance and picked the glass of juice in front of her and drank it casually.Atlas had to admit that although Helen was indeed beautiful, her lofty tone and disdai
Wealth Atlas drove the Lamborghini bull, galloping all the way. He was like a dazzling laser light, attracting attention wherever he went.After a while, Atlas came to a public parking lot. He stepped out of the car, with a driving permit and a registration certificate with his name written on it.“Damn! This is too good to be true. Perhaps I'm still lying by the alley battered up and all these is just a dream.” Atlas could not help but wonder if all these was truly real? He had just gone from a penniless live-in son in-law to a Lamborghini owner.. all in a few minutes.At this time Atlas's phone vibrated again.“Huh!? Didn't the message say it will need about twenty three hours before it delivers more rewards?” Damien muttered as he read the message on the phone screen.«Ding!Wealth System has sent Newbie Package ahead of schedule. Does Host wish to receive the Newbie Package?»'Is that a trick question or something? Of course I would be more than happy to receive this package' At
Un-acceptableThe cab stopped in front of the Erikson residence. Atlas came out, paid the cab driver and turned towards the mansion.He then walked towards the front door. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard some boisterous laughter coming from the inside.“Young master Chador, since you are so sincere about Cheyenne, we can be straightforward. Let us just settle on a date.”Atlas was stunned. He reckoned that the voice belonged to Carrie; his mother inlaw and Cheyenne's mother.Missus Carrie, you're being too polite. Since we're going to be family in the future, don't be so formal. Just call me by my name.” a very familiar voice sounded in Atlas's ear. This was a voice son.”When Atlas heard this, his face turned extremely gloomy, and he could tolerate it no longer.He was almost killed by that Chador Michaelson today and yet he heard her family talking about her remarriage? While he was still alive? Was Cheyenne in on this? No matter what? He had to see her to clar
Shocked“Jordan! Stand down!” Chador's voice came from the inner room. Even he had felt the massive killing intent Atlas had released and he involuntarily shivered. He knew a confrontation will result in his loss, so the best thing was to let the Eriksons deal with this.“This is family affair. Go out first.” Mister Erikson then came out to check out the cause of all the debacle taking place in his residence.Jordan reluctantly but obediently withdrew his hand. He knew his boss was trying to leave a good impression on the Eriksons, so he only glowered at Atlas again, and the left.Cheyenne's parents were full of resentment, but they did not dare get physical with Atlas; the scene of Jordan being frightened by Atlas was very fresh in their mind. Atlas's terrifying gaze intimidated them, and even the brutish Jordan had some scruples about Atlas. However as they looked at Damien's cheap clothes and calm expression that was almost the same as the past, their worries vanished.'I was think
Complicated Complications“You!” Chador immediately flew into a rage. No one had ever dared to be so arrogant toward him! And now a bug he could actually swat out is being so high and mighty in front of him? Even directly telling him to leave!? Is the world going crazy or did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!?The Eriksons were just as furious as him as they angrily charged forward to surround Atlas, as though they were going to hit him. Just as the conflict was getting heated, someone pushed the door open and entered.“W.. what's going on?”Atlas's heart palpitated and his body stiffened. He will always know the owner of this voice even in his dreams. He stood still in place without turning around. He had imagined and even rehearsed how he will break the news of his new life to Cheyenne countless times in his head during his walk back to the Erikson Mansion. But when he heard her gentle voice, Atlas realized that he could not bring himself to explain the Wealth s
ANGER“Don't bother arguing!” Carrie immediately screeched.“You were penniless and had nothing to even aid you in your travel. I can't imagine that after we were kind enough to let you marry into our family and provide you with food and a roof over your head, yet you stole our money when we let our guard down and absconded!”Atlas frowned and could not be more astounded at the atrocities this woman had spewed against him.. no wonder Cheyenne was seething with hatred earlier. The only path here is to explain and clear his name, hopefully Cheyenne will believe him.“No such thing happened. I don't even know where your father keeps his money!” Atlas tried to reason with Cheyenne.“Nonsense! You clearly stole half a grand from us this morning before going off to meet Young master Chador here!” Carrie interjected harshly before turning to look at Cheyenne's father, Smith Erikson.“Tell us; did he steal our money, or I'm I making all these up!?”“Hmph! He married into our family, yet stole
Birthday gift.Carrie's presumptuous behavior made Cheyenne feel very uncomfortable.“Mother, I have already told you several times that I won't marry Mister Michaelson.” she then turned to look at Chador.“Mister Michaelson, you come from a privileged family, and there are many girls who like you. I'm already married, and I really don't deserve, so you should not waste any more time on me.”Carrie was so infuriated that she pinched Cheyenne several times and barked.“Why are you so muddled!? Chador is such an eligible man. You're lucky he fancies you!” then she turned to apologize to Chador.“Young master Chador, we have spoiled Cheyenne rotten. Sometimes, she's thick in the head, so please don't mind her! Don't worry. I have the final say in this household.”Chador smiled faintly and pretended to be nonchalant.“Its alright, Carrie. I believe Cheyenne will believe in my sincerity one day.” however, he was extremely displeased.'I, Chador Michaelson, have never been blatantly reject
