The Wendy's anniversary party was already two months old. Their chance of paying off the debt is very weak, while David was starving all day in Mr. Huge's custody.

Mr. Huge sat on his swivel chair with his phone placed on his big black office table, having a conversation with Granny on loudspeaker.

He had ordered one of his boys to bring David to his office to find out the plan the Wendy family had for him. At least for him to know how long he would stay in their custody or how soon he would leave.

David stood uncomfortably, with the guy who brought him to the office behind him. The fact that he had not been eating enough was very obvious in his appearance. His eyes had already sunk into his sockets, and the length of his neck was four times what it was when he arrived two months ago.

The truth was that the Wendy family didn't even care if he ate or not. They never even left behind any percentage for his feeding.

Fortunately for him, he only got the opportunity to taste food when he wash dishes in Huge's kitchen. The leftover food had been helping him to survive.

Huge had a lot of people in their custody. Those whose family members left them some percentage for feeding were given a different space. Those whom their family cared less about or didn't have enough to keep a percentage for them had a separate worse space. Those ones were the ones being shared around the custody to do menial jobs, at least to get a one-time meal to survive.

"This is exactly two months since you applied for a loan with us. I'm sure you know that the interest on the loan will keep on piling up the more you take time to pay up."

Mr. Huge explained politely to Granny. She went mute for a few seconds before she sighed and spoke.

"Of course, I do know about it. I thought one of the policies states that the guarantor could work for you in any of your available hard jobs to cover up the interest fee."

Mr. Huge raised his gaze and saw the shock and disbelief in David's eyes before he affirmed.

"Yes, that's true."

"So, go ahead with it. The guarantor is very strong to do any kind of jobs you ask him to do," Granny added.

David was still dumbfounded with what he just heard. His posture had already loosened, and his legs were already shaking from just a few minutes of standing.

He ran his fingers through his disheveled hair, wondering how the Wendy family could be so cruel and heartless. His thoughts went to his wife, and he felt disappointed. He recalled that what landed him in this predicament was the fact that he was trying to prove his usefulness to his wife and her family. At this moment, he hated his ignorance more and more for submitting himself to such a deadly deal.

He had heard a rumor among Huge's boys that his wife had come to ask for him on the first day he arrived, but she was not given the chance to enter the premises, and since then, she never showed up.

Mr. Huge ended the call and ordered his boys to take David along with them when they are going to the construction site in the fourth Street.

David opened his mouth in awe, till saliva dripped out. He was speechless and thought of pleading with Mr. Huge. He had a rethink that the Huges were only working in line with their agreement with the Wendy family.

"Let's go!" the guy dragged him. David's eyes were already turning him because he hadn't even made it to the kitchen to be able to eat anything.

Uncontrollably, a tear rolled out of his left eye. He wondered how he would be able to work at a construction site on an empty stomach. He felt so sorry for his soul and reluctantly followed the order as he walked with his hands around his stomach due to its emptiness.

_____________________

it was a very long day for David. It was only few minutes left till closing hour . David's health was getting out of hand, so he snuck out of the work area to rest at the back of the site.

He sat on a brick with his back against the wall. He placed his shovel beside him and he was lost in thought. He was daydreaming about the day he would regain his freedom. He thought about the percentage Granny had promised him for accepting to carry the deadly burden for the Wendy family.

Suddenly, one of the Huge's boys noticed his absence among the workers. He searched around for him with a desperate plan of giving him an unforgettable punishment.

After searching around for ten minutes, he found him at the back of the construction site, sitting helplessly. He tiptoed to where he sat and took the shovel behind him.

David was totally lost in thought and didn't notice his presence. Instantly, the shovel landed on David's forehead, causing him to fall to the ground like a log of wood.

The guy's heart raced immediately, and he dropped the shovel. He placed his palm, then his left ear on David's chest to check if he was still breathing.

Shockingly, he noticed the breathing was far from survival. He was very close to giving up the ghost. Hastily, he grabbed his close-to-death body and threw it over the fence to save his secret and to protect the Huge Company's reputation.

Immediately his body made a thud at the great descent,

Ping!!.... Ping!!!

[A new Host found, Welcome to The Trillionaire system]

A screen appeared before him with a notification.

[Restore Host health and earn 1000 coins reward.]

Below the screen, there were two options,

[Accept/Decline]

His eyes looked so dimmed but he could read properly what appeared before him. Although, he was puzzled about what it was since he had no knowledge about such before. Then, he thought he had already kicked the bucket. He felt so pathetic for himself and how his life ended sadly.

He raised his gaze and he noticed the screen was still there. He felt a sharp pain in his forehead immediately and his whole body hurt so much which made him grunted. He had a second thought and he erased the thought of him being a ghost.

He felt eager to check if what appears before him is real or not, since it stated 'restoring host health'. He helped his hand up and he clicked on "Accept." Immediately, he felt a strange change in his health.

Another interface appeared before him.

    "This is the way, sir," she led the way, and he followed her. She thought secretly that, it would have been a great regret for her if she had treated the young Master badly. They headed into an elevator, and they got to the last floor in a few seconds. David was wondering how money changes things so easily. The young, beautiful lady was giving him the utmost special treatment she would give a president of a country. They walked down to a room, and she unlocked the door. The room screamed so much luxury as everything in the room looked so clean and expensive. "This room is meant for VVIP's like you, sir" she said with a smile on her face. "Oh, good," he responded calmly. Two beautiful ladies entered the room, and the table before him was filled with different types of food. "In case you might need any other thing, you can give us a call, sir." Sha said pointing at the room telephone. "Okay, thank you" he replied with a smile. Soon they all left, and it left him alone in the roo

Finally, she arrived, Mrs. Elena questioned her for arriving so late at night. Diana, looking exhausted, stared at her mother confusedly, realizing it was only 9:30 PM.'It's not even 11 PM yet,' she thought silently, apologizing to her mother to avoid an argument and she explained that she went out with Mr. William.Mrs. Elena felt somewhat relieved, happy that her daughter was now involved with a millionaire. She responded with a smile, saying it was fine and then asked if Diana had heard the news.Diana dropped her bag on the table, placing the gifts William had bought for her, and then sat on the couch across from her mother."What news?" she asked curiously."Your husband escaped," Mrs. Elena hinted, conf

    David woke up early and went to the nearest Bugatti specialty store. He walked confidently, holding his cracked screen iPhone 6."I need the latest and most expensive car in your store," he said boastfully to the sales girl before him.She glared at his worn-out shoes, his shabby clothes, and his useless cracked screen phone before she uttered, "We're here for business, not for jokes, Mister."David was upset with her words, what did she mean? "Do I look like a joke?" he asked aggressively.She scoffed and walked away from him. David felt displeased with her unfriendly attitude, but he was surprised to see her coming towards him again, holding a book. She stretched it out to him—it was a catalog. David reluctantly took it from her and wondered what had made her changed her mind.He searched through it until he found his choice."I prefer this blue Bugatti Chiron Profeli."She glared at David and muttered, "The price is there.""Of course, I can see it, $10 million," he responded.Then,

    David wondered why the system bought the company without informing him earlier. However, he still considered the system to have the right to do whatever it feels like, as long as it benefits him. Then he remembered it would have profited him more if the system had given him the task to buy it himself.[Young Master!

    The girls went back to their positions instantly, glaring at each other as if nothing had happened."I said, 'What's going on here? Are you deaf?'" The man who asked the question faced the eldest girl now."Sorry, sir, I need the most expensive suits in this store," David explained to the man, causing him to be slightly shocked and turn away from the girl.The girls were also befuddled and deeply thought that whatever David had swallowed, that was giving him this foolish courage, only wanted to get him beaten up. They knew their manager didn't tolerate nonsense."Oh, wow, how many do you need, sir?" The manager had doubts about David but still attended to him professionally. He had been in the field for a decade now, so he knew it was his duty to attend to any customer in a friendly manner."How many do you have?" he asked confidently.His confidence still left the man puzzled. How could someone be this confident?"The most expensive suit we have is limited edition and there are only

    "Forgive me for my ignorance, Young Master," Mr. Harold quickly rushed toward him and bowed.The fright in his words was very obvious. David glared at the girls and felt satisfied with the shock written all over their faces too.The manager regretted neglecting such a huge customer to Mr. Huston. He was still finding it difficult to believe that the young man before him had just lavished a whole $5.9 million on shoes and suits on a whim!'Damn! That's huge,' he thought to himself."I'm really sorry, sir. I know you would punish me for my stupidity, but please make it a bearable one." The manager further asked for his mercy.David never expected him to feel as guilty as that. After all, he attended to him cordially, unlike his sales girls.Mr. Harold turned to the girls and ordered them out of their dumbstruck state to bow for the Young Master immediately."Why are you all looking like dummies? Y'all should bow now! In fact, kneel down and apologize to the Young Master."Instantly, they

    Inside the car, the cabbie had been entertaining David with all kinds of gossip.Despite the fact that David refused to utter a word, he never stopped talking. It was as if he had swallowed a disc and now had to replay every recorded speech.At a certain point, David regretted assuming that the cabbie's apologies were genuine. With the way he talked so much, it was very obvious that he intended to play a joke on him when he stopped the cab.He came to the conclusion that the cabbie was one of those whose attitude would never cease to reveal itself, no matter how hard it was.

    This caught David's attention, and he walked briskly to his father.David was staring at the beautiful lady who was in a static position within the transparent sphere.Just then, he realized that, despite how beautiful the lady was, the skin from her neck to her feet was extremely wrinkled, which disfigured her beauty.Then, he asked his father in a stuttering state, "Who is she?"The old man shook his head and disclosed, "My son, this is Skyla, your wife."David's eyes widened instantly and were in total confusion about what he had just heard."My wife? How? And why is some part of her skin so horrible? Why is she so static in this sphere?"David's father patted his son's shoulder and said, "I told you earlier that these revelations would be quite strange to you.""Let me explain this to you.

That was the reason he quickly informed The Sage about your ability when he saw you at Glover City, which was what helped us to find you today."David heaved a sigh while his father continued to explain, "My son, at this point in your life, I know what you have become."David's body moved slightly, watching his father's lips."I know everything I'm about to explain to you might seem strange to you, but I still have to explain them."David nodded his head, listening."Five centuries ago, the Anderson family broke out of the Zaozao Kingdom and came to dominate this city.

    The door and the name inscribed on it were extremely glittering. This suggested very well that the door was made of pure gold.David was still in doubt about everything the grey-haired man had told him until this time. Nevertheless, thousands of questions still lingered in his mind.David turned his eyes in another direction in the Palace and he could see a big car garage from afar. The space in which exotic cars were packed was up to a hectare of land.Suddenly, he heard the grey-haired man say, "Young Master, I will be so eager to take you around every corner of the Palace. As for now, let's hurry up and meet my master."David's head raised slightly, hiding the little touch of surprise on his face.Even though David already had trillions at his fingertips, this beautiful environment was more captivating than expected.
