The Trillionaire System

Chapter 8

News reached Wendy's Villa that David had disappeared from the construction site where he was working. The entire family was concerned about the news, especially since they were struggling to earn enough money for repayment.

Mrs. Elena was in the sitting room, waiting for Diana. 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, confusing Diana.

She only recognized William as her husband, even though they weren't married yet. She couldn't understand what her mother was insinuating.

"My husband?" she asked with a puzzled expression.

Mrs. Elena was shocked at her daughter's reaction. 'Did she forget that David was her husband just like that?' She thought to herself.

"David, of course!" she clarified.

"Oh, pardon me. I totally forgot he existed. My love for William has erased all memories of him," Diana admitted.

Mrs. Elena couldn't believe how much Diana had fallen in love with William. She remembered having to convince her to give William a chance, but now Diana was even more infatuated than she could have imagined.

"How did he escaped?" Diana inquired.

"Well, he ran away from the construction site where he was supposed to work in order to pay off the loan monthly interest."

"He shouldn't have done that," Diana remarked, resting her forehead on her right hand.

Mrs. Elena was still dumbfounded by her daughter's response.

"He used to be obedient. I wonder what happened to him."

"I'm surprised too. It's going to be quite challenging for our company," Diana responded to her mother.

Ever since their last anniversary celebration, their business had been facing numerous problems. Even, other companies partnering with them were preparing for a breakup. It had been a tough market for them since past few months.

"What's the plan now?" Diana asked her mother.

"Well, the loan company only demands for the repayment, nothing else," her mother informed her, getting up from her seat.

"I need to rest now. You've kept me awake," Mrs. Elena said, heading to her room without a second glance.

David lay in bed, thinking about how his life had changed within a twinkle of an eye. He remembered being treated poorly at Wendy's Villa and how he had foolishly gotten involved with the heartless loan company. Luckily, he had found a system that had transformed his life for the better after he was thrown over the fence.

He crawled out of bed to get a view of the entire city of Glover through his window. He could see almost the entire city from his apartment at the highest point. He felt so satisfied with the apartment he had purchased.

Smiling to himself, he flopped back onto the king-size bed. Pulling out his phone, he attempted to take a picture of his spacious and luxurious-looking bedroom. Unfortunately, the camera on his phone was not clear enough.

"I need to get a better phone," he muttered.

Just then, he received a notification on his I*******m account, which he checked. It was a news article about a mysterious young master who spent $10 million on a whim. The article explained that the young master had disguised himself as a beggar and tried to visit Uppertek Hotel, but the security officers threatened to beat him up if he dared to enter. To their dismay, they were all fired when the hotel manager learned that a wealthy young master had been mistreated by his officers and ended up spending $10 million at Cicada Hotel without hesitation.

As David read the article, he finally realized that it was about him. What puzzled him was how the news reached the Uppertek manager so quickly, leading to the dismissal of the security officers. He felt honored to be newsworthy for the first time in his life; it was a significant privilege. He was relieved that no one had taken a picture of him, as that would have exposed his identity to the public.

Reading the comments under the post, he couldn't believe the number of girls who expressed their desire to meet the wealthy young master. Other business owners also commented, saying they couldn't wait to have the super-rich young master visit their stores.

David felt good about himself, then scrolled to another news article below the previous one. It read, 'The Huge Company has been accused of maltreating all the guarantors in their custody. However, an innocent young man who was a son-in-law of the Wendy's family have been declared missing.'

David couldn't believe what he had just read. The details were stated clearly, and it was very obvious that the news was about him as well.

"How did the secret leaked so fast?" he wondered. Then, he thought about seizing the opportunity to take revenge on the Wendy family and the loan company.

Ping!!

A notification appeared.

[You have 18 hours, 43 minutes, and 1 second remaining to spend the remaining $10,000,000.]

Below the notification, there was a red light with additional information.

[A new mission is available. Complete the previous mission to unlock it.]

David considered what the new mission will be before the robotic voice announced.

[Young Master, you need to rest now.]
