2025-01-13 08:41:26"Good day, how can I assist you?" One of the attendants at the front desk greeted Charles as he approached. She scrutinized him for a few moments, her face twisting in distaste due to his attire.
"I am Charles Grey, and I wish to—" "We do not accept any delivery services at Silver Plaza Hotel," the woman interrupted. "Our patrons are highly esteemed professionals who receive top-tier gourmet meals; they do not require food delivery. Kindly leave before one of our distinguished guests notices your unkempt appearance," she added, signaling for him to go. "You heard her, take your leave now," Ethan chimed in, his expression full of mockery. "They have important people, like myself, to attend to. And when you go home, do try to freshen up; you're giving off quite the stench." Charles disregarded his remarks and addressed the woman. "I'm not here to place an order. I'd like to pay for one of your exclusive offerings." "You?" The woman raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Pay for a service?" She let out a short laugh before continuing. "You must not understand. This establishment caters to business moguls, not delivery drivers. You can't even afford decent clothing, let alone high-end services. Please, leave now, or I'll have security escort you out." Charles calmly retrieved his card from his pocket. "I wish to join the top-tier membership of this hotel and purchase access to all premium offerings you provide." He handed over the card. The woman snatched it from him before tossing it back onto the counter dismissively. "Listen to me, you foolish beggar. Our highest membership costs one million dollars, and only a select few in this city can afford it. Perhaps you're confused, or maybe looking for work—when a position opens up for janitorial or kitchen staff, come back then." She gestured for him to leave. Ethan watched the exchange with amusement, shaking his head. He couldn't fathom what drove his poor brother-in-law to such absurdity in one of the city's most exclusive hotels. "When will you realize that you're nothing in this city? A failure like you should be ashamed to show his face. Excuse me, I'm here to pay for my own membership." Yet Charles stood firm. "You're going to regret dismissing me," he said coldly. "Trust me, you'll regret it." The woman snickered and called her colleagues forward to join in the mockery. "Vivienne, Marco, come and see this pauper wasting our time," she called. "What’s going on?" One of them asked, amused. "Didn't you tell him we don't accept deliveries here?" They all looked down on Charles because of his shabby attire and laughed. "I did," she replied, "but he insists on paying for our most expensive membership. I can’t fathom how someone who can't afford decent clothing could ever manage such a feat. Even if he sold everything he owns, he wouldn't have even a hundred dollars to his name." Her colleagues burst into laughter, pointing at Charles' worn shoes and ragged clothing. "Please leave," one said. "There are guests waiting who actually belong here. This is not a place for beggars." Charles shook his head, smiling confidently. "Why don’t you swipe my card and find out if I can afford it? Isn't that the simplest way to resolve this?" The staff members exchanged uneasy glances; despite his appearance, they were now intrigued. "I can’t wait to see their reactions when they realize I can afford the top membership," Charles thought to himself. He was no stranger to mockery because of how he looked, but today, he was going to surprise everyone. Reluctantly, the woman took his card. "If this doesn't go through, I'll have security throw you out and make an example of you," she warned. Charles simply nodded and flashed a wide grin. "Are you insane?" Ethan sneered, nudging Charles. "I can't wait to see them throw you out. You’ll get exactly what you deserve. That's where you belong." Charles ignored him and stood patiently, waiting for the confirmation of his payment. He planned to deal with Ethan later. The room fell silent as the woman swiped Charles' card. Everyone held their breath, expecting a rejection, but to their surprise, the transaction went through. Moments later, the machine at the front desk beeped. "Transaction successful." The staff, including Ethan, were stunned. Their gazes locked onto Charles as though he had just sprouted another head. "This can’t be right," Ethan muttered, still holding onto his disbelief. "I know this man. He's a delivery driver. There's no way he can afford such an amount." He grabbed Charles by the collar. "Where did you get this card from? Did you steal it?" "Sir, please refrain from causing a scene or we will have to ask you to leave," a staff member warned, addressing Ethan, who reluctantly let go of Charles, seething with anger. No longer dismissive, the staff now regarded Charles with respect. "We deeply apologize for the earlier treatment," the woman said, her tone completely changed. "Please accept our sincerest apologies for everything we said. We're eager to serve you and provide you with the best services." The others looked at Charles with awe, while Ethan simmered in the background. This was the first time someone of his standing had ever been able to afford the top membership, making him the fourth person in the entire city to do so. "I’d like to sign up for every premium service you offer," Charles declared. "Also, please arrange for a complete wardrobe overhaul. Bring the best luxury brands you have." "Understood, Mr. Grey. We'll begin processing your membership immediately," the woman responded. After a few moments, the membership card was ready and handed to Charles. "Please allow me to contact the relationship manager to escort you to your private suite," she added, smiling warmly. "And as for the man who caused you distress, what should we do with him? The comfort and security of our guests are of utmost importance." Charles turned to Ethan, a grin forming on his face. Finally, it was time for him to turn the tables. "Please ensure he's banned from ever setting foot here unless he can match the membership f*e. Should he attempt to return, I want him thrown out immediately," Charles instructed. "Your wishes will be honored." "What?!" Ethan staggered back in disbelief. "You don’t have the authority to ban me from this place. Do you know who I am? I’m the eldest son of the Bennett family, and my family owns a major corporation here. How dare you treat me this way?" "Sir, we ask that you leave the premises now," one of the guards said firmly, stepping forward. "Let go of me!" Ethan shouted, furious. "I'm here to pay for the membership. How can you treat me like this?" "Do you have one million dollars?" the woman asked pointedly. Ethan lowered his gaze in humiliation, unable to answer. "If you cannot afford our highest membership, you are no longer welcome here. For your harassment of a premium member, we are permanently barring you from this hotel. Escort him out." "This is unjust!" Ethan yelled as the guards dragged him away. "Charles, this isn't over!" "Is there anything else you require?" the woman asked Charles once Ethan had been removed. "No," Charles replied, feeling a sense of satisfaction. At that moment, a young and attractive woman approached Charles in the lobby. "I'm Alison Miles, the relationship manager here," she introduced herself, extending her hand. "I'm Charles," he replied, shaking her hand. "Please follow me," she invited, leading Charles into the heart of the hotel. "Welcome to Silver Plaza Hotel, the sanctuary for the elite and influential individuals in our city."

Jeremy dropped to the ground, gripping Charles' ankle as tears streamed down his face. "I’m begging you! Don’t let them take this job from me. I will lose everything."Charles yanked his leg free, and Jeremy sprawled on the cold kitchen floor, his pleas echoing through the silent room.“You disrespected me, ridiculed me both in private and in front of everyone. You claimed to be untouchable, yet I defeated you effortlessly. Let this serve as a reminder—never belittle someone based on how they look or what you think they can’t do.”The crowd of onlookers stood frozen, watching as Jeremy continued his pitiful display. Tears soaked his face as he begged for mercy. Ethan, lurking in a dark corner of the room, looked as though the ground might swallow him. He realized his plan had backfired. Both he and Jeremy were about to face the consequences of their actions.“Please, I’ve changed! I swear I won’t make the same mistakes again,” Jeremy wailed, his voice cracking under the weight of his

On top of that, Alison had given him her phone number. Everything seemed to be going his way ever since he activated the system.He called a cab and asked the driver to take him to the Bennett family mansion. He needed to meet Sophia and settle things once and for all.Suddenly, the familiar system screen appeared in front of him, and Charles couldn’t help but smile.[New Mission: Spend $10 million within 24 hours.

With his things packed into a little bag and a disappointed heart, Charles left the Bennett family home. Even though it was shattered and crushed, the earring his mother had left for him, a priceless heirloom was still in his pocket, and its significance to him was far greater than anyone could ever comprehend. All he had left of his mother was his link to that earring, and he was devastated and furious at Sophia's callous deeds. He was free, nevertheless. Free from their continual humiliation and criticism. With a mixture of relief and resolve, he looked to the future. Now the divorce was complete. To appease Sophia and her family, he would no longer pretend to be someone he wasn't. No more being governed by them. He now had the opportunity to succeed with the money from his fortune."I ought to purchase a home," Charles thought, his thoughts racing. The concept was straightforward but effective. A home of his own, free from criticism, where he could rebuild and begin afresh. He was

Ariana took Charles around, showing him all the houses that were up for sale, including the priciest one on the list.The moment Charles laid eyes on the place, he was hooked. It was an absolutely stunning high-rise with a breathtaking view of the river.After an hour of looking at different houses and getting all the price details from Ariana, they headed back to the lobby to talk things over. Ariana pulled out a chair for Charles, waiting for him to make a decision."So, Mr. Charles, what do you think? Any house catch your eye?" she asked eagerly."Yes," Charles said, nodding. "I want the high-rise.""You mean a single apartment in the high-rise, right?" Ariana asked, almost choking on her own words."No, I mean the whole building. Is it still up for sale?"Ariana knew very well it was still available. But nobody had ever tried to buy the whole thing because of the outrageous price."Sir, it's definitely for sale, but as I mentioned, it costs ten million dollars. A single apartment

Charles grinned as he received two special reward points from his mysterious system. He imagined all the cool skills he could unlock but decided to save them for when he really needed them."Mr. Grey, here are your house keys and all the necessary documents. If you ever need anything or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Once again, congratulations on your new home," Ariana said with a professional smile as she handed him everything.Charles nodded. "I appreciate it. Thanks for your help."Taking the documents, he stepped into his mansion. Ariana had already given him a tour, but now, he wanted to explore on his own.The living room was massive, with a giant, dazzling chandelier hanging in the center.

Charles walked back into his home, feeling completely worn out. The weight of everything on his shoulders made him feel heavier than he wanted to admit. He had fought hard to get to where he was, but now, everything seemed more complicated than ever. His mind raced with the legal battle he was facing with his father, a fight that was about to start soon. But there was no denying that he had to focus on what mattered most right now – the upcoming election. That was his priority. He couldn’t afford to let anything get in the way of securing his position.As he collapsed onto his bed, he closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind.

Sophia walked into the office building, her heels clicking against the marble floor. She approached the receptionist with a smile, but it was anything but genuine. The smile was cold, calculated—one of many she had used to get what she wanted.The receptionist smiled back, unaware of the games being played. “You can go in, ma'am. He’s free now,” she said, motioning toward the door.Sophia gave a nod of acknowledgment, her gaze shifting to the door. “If he’s in the middle of a meeting, I’ll wait. Thirty minutes, no more,” she said, her tone firm, but still maintaining an air of politeness.“Of course, ma’am.”Sophia felt a wave of control wash over her. Lawrence was hers to command now. After all, she had shared secrets with him that could completely ruin Charles’s life. She had Lawrence exactly where she wanted him, and now, she would use that to her advantage.With a sly smile, she walked to the door and knocked. She didn’t wait for long before Lawrence’s voice came from inside.“Com

Charles sat in his dimly lit living room, swirling a glass of deep red wine in his hand. The liquid shimmered under the chandelier’s glow, casting a blood-like reflection against the delicate glass. His mind, however, was far from the elegant surroundings. It was restless, consumed by the cryptic call he had received earlier.Someone wanted him dead.The idea was hardly surprising. Over the years, he had made a great number of enemies—some out of necessity, others because they had simply been in his way. The world he lived in wasn’t one of kindness or mercy. It thrived on power, deception, and control.But who among them dared to make a move now?Ethan? That was a possibility. Their history was riddled with tension and silent battles. He had let Ethan live once for the sake of their so-called legacy, but that didn’t mean the man had forgiven or forgotten. Revenge had a long shelf life in their world.Charles exhaled slowly, his fingers tightening around the glass as he took a measured

"Sophia, Charles is not the man you believe he is. He was my husband once, and I have plenty of damaging secrets about him," she said, her voice laced with both bitterness and determination.Across from her, Lawrence leaned forward, his interest clearly piqued. His sharp gaze locked onto hers, and a slow smirk spread across his face. "You were married to that man?" he asked, his tone brimming with curiosity. "Tell me everything you know. I promise you will be well rewarded for your cooperation."Sophia felt a rush of satisfaction at his words. This was exactly what she had hoped for. She had waited for years to expose Charles, and now, the opportunity had finally presented itself. Her family had suffered for too long because of him, and now was the time to set things right.Taking a deep breath, she began, her voice dropping to a hushed tone as though the walls themselves might betray her words."Listen, Mr. Lawrence, Charles used to be a poor delivery worker. He was barely making end

Sophia sat quietly in her elegant living room, a space that once represented the height of her family's success. Now, it felt like nothing more than a painful reminder of everything they had lost. The afternoon sun poured in through the large windows, casting a golden glow across the room. The light danced on the surface of the polished furniture, yet Sophia found no warmth in it. Instead, she felt as if the sunlight was mocking her—shining over a home that had lost its joy.She sat motionless, her fingers lightly gripping the soft fabric of the couch. The silence around her was almost deafening, except for the occasional ticking of the antique clock mounted on the wall.Her gaze drifted towards a framed photograph on the bookshelf across the room. It was a picture of her family—her parents, herself, and the company they had built together. A symbol of their years of dedication, their dreams, and their sacrifices. But now, all of it was gone.She inhaled deeply, her chest rising and f

Charles drove back to the hotel, gripping the document tightly in his hands. It was an official confirmation from the party leader, approving his entry into the upcoming election. This wasn’t just a piece of paper—it was a game-changer. It meant that Lawrence, the corrupt governor, would no longer have the power to shut down his company.A wave of determination washed over him as he parked his car. He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed his manager’s number."Hello, what's happening there?" Charles asked, his voice tense. "Are they still trying to force the workers out?""Yes, sir," the manager replied. "It’s getting worse. The officers are using force. Some of them are even hitting the staff who refuse to leave."Charles's grip on the steering wheel tightened. His jaw clenched as rage burned inside him."Stay there. I'm coming now," he said firmly before ending the call.Without wasting a second, he pressed his foot on the gas, his car speeding toward the hotel.The moment he

The cold evening air filled Charles’s home as he and Alison sat together, tending to his wounds. The events at the private jet and the tense confrontation at the hotel had left him bruised, both physically and emotionally, but his resolve was stronger than ever. Ice packs and pain medications were quickly applied as they discussed their next move. The silence between them was thick, and it felt like the calm before the storm.Charles, still recovering from the harsh blows earlier in the day, stared out the window. His thoughts were heavy with the weight of the situation. His mind kept replaying the words of the governor, Lawrence, who had been nothing but cruel. The idea that Lawrence would go to such lengths to bring him down was maddening. But Charles wouldn’t back down. Not now.Alison looked at him, concern etched on her face. “Are you sure about this? This could get worse. Lawrence won’t let you get away with it so easily.”Charles met her gaze, his jaw set in determination. “I d

Charles had been sitting in his office for hours, deep in thought. He had already bought everything he ever wanted luxury cars, designer suits, a grand mansion—but something still felt missing. He wanted something bigger, something that would not only be useful but also make a statement. That’s when the idea struck him: he would buy a private jet.With fifty million dollars in his bank account, he had more than enough to afford one. Many wealthy businessmen owned private jets, and he knew it was a smart investment. It would save him time, make traveling more comfortable, and give him the freedom to fly whenever he wanted.The moment he made the decision, he picked up his phone and called Alison, his trusted assistant and close friend. As always, she was excited about his plans. The next morning, she arrived early at his mansion and prepared breakfast for him."Have you decided which company you’re buying from?" she asked, placing a cup of coffee in front of him. She knew there were th

"Wake up, Charles! It's 8 am!" The loud alarm echoed through the room, jerking Charles awake. With a curse, he slapped the button to stop the noise and rubbed his eyes. He quickly sat up in bed, checking his schedule. His eyes widened when he realized he had to go to Bennett's corporation for the official handover. He still didn’t have the company’s ownership rights, and if he wasn’t careful, the Bennetts might try to run off with it.Just as he was about to head out, a new system notification popped up in front of him. A grin spread across his face. It had been a while since he received a task.“Spend $50 million in 24 hours and earn 2 black card points.”[Funds have been transferred to your bank account.]As expected, his phone beeped with the notification. $50 million had just been deposited into his account. The screen disappeared, and Charles went back to his morning routine, his mind already running through ways to spend the money.After dressing, his chauffeur drove him to Benn
