Tribute System: I have quintillion coins Chapter 142: "Hushed Conversation"
Lucille assisted Eleanor in packing her things. Despite sharing the same room and working on the task together, an eerie silence hung between them."I feel like I'm missing something," Lucille mused, stealing a glance at Eleanor. "You're unusually distant too.""What?" Eleanor questioned, sensing Lucille's gaze on her."Are you truly okay with living apart from your brother?" Lucille inquired."I'm not, but it's more frustrating to keep staying with him when he's like this," Eleanor responded.Lucille continued folding clothes, her mind wrestling with unspoken thoughts. Finally, she sighed and added, "We've got to talk about this, Eleanor. You can't keep shutting me out."Eleanor avoided eye contact, a pained expression flickering across her face. "There's just so much going on, Lucille. It's not that simple."Lucille nodded, her concern palpable. "Fine, but we can't pretend like everything's normal. We need to confront the issues, whatever they are."Eleanor sighed, realizing Lucille

Lucille and Eleanor froze for a moment, surprised that Drake had appeared in front of them out of nowhere."What is it that I can't know?" Drake asked. Despite the suspicion in his tone, he wasn't actually suspecting anything about the two. He simply thought the two sweet women in his life had their own little secrets, a thing he found cute."It's a surprise for you. Why would we tell you?" Lucille said."You're ruining our plan," Eleanor added.Drake chuckled, feeling happy to hear that they were preparing a surprise for him, even though his birthday was still a month away."Okay, fine. I'll leave you girls alone," he said, taking Eleanor's bag to lead them to their car."You look happy sending me away," Eleanor commented."I am not. But I am relieved that you want a vacation. I would be totally happy if you would accept the people I want to protect you," Drake said."I am not hearing anything," Eleanor said, rolling her eyes.Eleanor and Drake spent the whole trip from Magrao to the
Tribute System: I have quintillion coins Chapter 144: "Take Her & Trap Her"
Eleanor bid farewell to her brother, acting as though she wouldn't see him for a long time. She discreetly glanced at Lucille before boarding the ship with Aunt Ling, who was unaware of her plan.It took them four hours to reach the island, where a strict entry procedure awaited them at the port before they could enter the gates."Aunt Ling, let them go in first," Eleanor suggested."Who? Your guards? That's not possible," Aunt Ling said."I want everything settled before I enter. Look at how many bags we have. I'll feel dizzy seeing them busy around," she reasoned."But you didn't feel dizzy when everyone was busy at home," Aunt Ling grumbled inwardly, looking irritated as usual but still forcing herself to smile. "We have to go inside together anyway," she added.Eleanor gestured towards the bustling street outside the gate, where inns, shops, and restaurants lined the thoroughfare dedicated to tourists and those denied entry to the main town on the island. Ships only arrived and de

At the port, Drake watched the ship fade into the distance when Marianne suddenly arrived, a sight that struck Lucille as unusual."Why is she here?" Lucille asked, arching her brows at Drake."I told you we have to catch Zack this time," Drake responded."Now? Without even making sure Ely arrives at the island first?" Lucille's confusion was evident at Drake's abrupt plan, which could potentially disrupt her own arrangement to meet with Eleanor later."She'll be fine. She's with Aunt Ling," he assured."Why do you trust Aunt Ling so much?" Lucille inquired."She's already proven herself trustworthy, so you don't have to worry," he replied."When did she prove it? You hired her just recently," Lucille pressed."A long time ago...""Excuse me, but can we focus?" Marianne interjected, subtly nudging Lucille aside without Drake's notice. "Kale Justinbaste returned to Bellrox. He's meeting with the directors.""You can have him all you want," Lucille thought inwardly. While it would be be

Drake Chwe returned to BellRox, anticipating Zack White's retaliation after everything he'd done.However, there was an eerie calm amidst the chaos he expected. The headquarters remained tranquil, unaffected by the poisoning incident and internal conflict."What's going on?" Drake blurted out, breaking the silence."What's the matter?" Lucille asked, noticing his unease."These people are unusually quiet," he said, scanning the surroundings.Lucille looked around, puzzled by Drake's observation. "Is it necessary for them to be noisy right now?""No, but usually there's a buzz of gossip whenever someone falls from grace. They laughed at my misfortune and spread rumors instantly, but why is there no chatter about Kale Justinbaste?" Drake wondered aloud."Hmm, you have a point. Even if the issue should be kept out of public view, the employees usually catch wind of it. Could it be that the executives forgave Zack so easily?" Lucille speculated."Forgiven or not, these people tend to spea
Tribute System: I have quintillion coins Chapter 147: "Attack And Defense"
Lucille hurried to Bigas's agency to meet Eleanor. She anxiously checked her phone for any updates from her boyfriend's sister."Where's Bigas?" she asked, addressing one of the staff members as she entered the agency."He's on his way back here," the staff member replied, gesturing for Lucille to follow them inside to wait."Why isn't she sending updates to me yet?" Lucille wondered aloud, growing increasingly worried."You won't receive updates through your phone; please use this one," the staff member informed her, offering a burner phone.Lucille stared at the burner phone for a moment before taking it. "I can't believe Ely is so thorough. Is she really a teenager?" she commented to herself. "When I was her age, I was completely dependent on adults. I wasn't as brave as her. I wonder what made her like this."She was essentially talking to herself, as the staff member didn't seem interested in her thoughts.She proceeded to call Eleanor, who answered immediately."Ely, are you sti
Tribute System: I have quintillion coins Chapter 148: "Ring The Alarm!"
In Drake Chwe's office at BellRox Corporation headquarters, Drake looked at his guests with bored eyes. "What's taking this long?" he wondered inwardly, running out of patience. He had thought clearing his name would be easy with Marianne's competence, but it seemed her magic wasn't working today. She looked rattled and unorganized while presenting evidence that his businesses and sources of income were all legal."Aren't we done yet?" he asked Marianne, who appeared busy checking documents."They're still asking for copies of investment declarations, franchises—" Marianne began, but Drake cut her off mid-sentence."Whatever. Just hurry up. Didn't we deal with audits with ease? You're taking a lot of time today," he said disappointedly."I'm sorry," Marianne apologized. "The detectives were kind of complicated to talk to, and they were very thorough."Drake scowled. He could only sigh in front of the detectives, knowing he couldn't leave without completely disproving their suspicions
Tribute System: I have quintillion coins Chapter 149: "Dynamic Couple"
The accusations from the crowd washed over Drake like a relentless wave, yet he remained composed, irritation simmering beneath the surface. He was no stranger to the ungratefulness of BellRox employees, who always seemed quick to pin random crimes on him."I can't believe this nonsense," Drake muttered to himself, shaking his head in disbelief. Despite knowing he had saved their lives by alerting them to the danger, gratitude seemed to be in short supply among the panicked crowd."Do I have to get used to this malice they always throw at me? These people never change," he bitterly mused, feeling a mix of frustration and disappointment at their lack of appreciation. "Next time, I won't even bother if they're all on the brink of death.""Restrain him!" an employee exclaimed upon seeing Drake's lack of reaction to the accusations."Is that true, Drake Chwe?" Chairman Sy asked as he emerged from the crowd, looking haggard at the instant destruction of his beloved headquarters."No. Why w

Chapter 185: "The End"
Ten years had passed, yet the dream of earning a sextillion coins remained elusive. Time slipped away unnoticed as Drake immersed himself in the relentless pursuit of money to settle his debts. Only too late did he realize the true cost of his singular focus.Seated in his office, absorbed in his tasks, Drake was jolted from his concentration by the ringing of his phone. Glancing at the caller's ID, he recognized his sister Eleanor's number. With a resigned sigh, he answered the call."Hey, Ely," Drake greeted, attempting to sound nonchalant despite his apprehension."Drake, where are you?!" Eleanor's voice crackled with frustration and disappointment."I'm at the office, why?" Drake responded, his heart sinking as he anticipated the conversation that was about to unfold."Seriously? You forgot, didn't you?" Eleanor's incredulous tone pierced through the line.Drake's stomach churned with guilt. "Forgot what?"Eleanor let out an exasperated sigh. "My wedding, Drake!

Chapter 184: "Sextillion Goal"
Drake was shocked to learn the truth, his jaws dropping even further when Lucille revealed that he needed to repay the tribute system twofold."Earning sextillion coins is impossible!" he exclaimed."You have to offer it back, or else you'll spend your life paying for it," Lucille replied grimly, exaggerating the explanation to divert Drake's attention away from herself."Damn it. Is this why I can't kill Zack? He cannot die until he pays his debt," Drake said frustratingly, but then he smiled viciously. "But does that mean I can keep him in prison to suffer?""He doesn't change. Good luck," Lucille muttered under her breath, slowly becoming accustomed to Drake's viciousness."What is it?" Drake asked."Nothing. I was just wondering why you came here," she bluntly asked, inwardly worried about the chance of Drake hurting her."What else? To pick you up?" Drake said, grabbing Lucille's hand and looking into her eyes with sincerity. "Lucille, please believe me, what Marianne said was al

Lucille Bmak seized the opportunity to escape when Drake and Rebecca were engrossed in their own conversation.Thinking it was her chance, she began to make her way out. However, unbeknownst to her, she was trapped in a labyrinth from which only Zack, Rebecca, and Drake could find their way out."What the hell is this place?" she muttered to herself as she continued downwards in an attempt to escape, but the path seemed endless."Aah!" she screamed as someone suddenly yanked her back."You're new here? There's nothing above your head yet," the female said, her tone cautious and discreet. “I got the ability to see other users status and progress. You're still fresh. Save yourself!”"What? I don't belong here. Do you know the exit?" Lucille asked, sensing no hostility from the girl."Go up instead of down," the girl replied honestly."Really? But why aren't you leaving?" Lucille inquired."I'm weak, but I can't die. You should be careful. Let go of the system as soon as possible while i

Chapter 182: "Equivalent of the tribute"
Lucille Bmak had prepared herself for this inevitable day.She knew all too well that her peaceful days would come to an end as long as Zack White and Drake Chwe existed.However, despite her thorough preparation, she couldn't shield her heart from the viciousness that Zack and Drake displayed towards her.The constant hostility from both men exhausted her heart and mind, leaving her unable to display any emotion upon seeing Drake, whose presence made her heart throb, or Zack, whose mere presence sent shivers down her spine."Damn you! Damn your luck!" Zack White growled in frustration, his anger palpable as he longed to inflict harm upon Lucille.He yelled and pounded on the barrier as if he desired nothing more than to tear Lucille apart, but what frustrated him even more was the nonchalant expression on Lucille's face."Do you think you'll escape me for imprisoning me for three years? I'll torture you every second of the day!" he threatened."So foolish," Lucille commented, further

Chapter 181: "Key to the door"
Drake Chwe hurried to find Lucille. He strode past the long underground passage, paying little heed to the torture cell, laboratories, and whatever bizarre occurrences filled each room. As long as Lucille wasn't there, Drake's focus remained undeterred."Where the hell are you?" he muttered exasperatedly to himself, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he reached the final room at the end of the underground complex. Taking a deep breath, he swung open the door, only for his eyes to widen in shock at the sight of his lover bound by chains."Lucille!" he exclaimed, rushing forward to free her, but his efforts proved futile."Drake, long time no see," Lucille greeted casually, her gaze devoid of emotion as if she had just woken up from a nap."Hang on a little longer. I'll free you soon," he promised, frantically rummaging through his bag for any tool that might help, but none did the trick."Damn it!" he cursed in frustration, realizing he couldn't access his trusted system in a time of

Zack sported a victorious grin, his eyes locked onto Drake with the same intensity Drake once aimed at him from within the torture cell. His lips curled as he relished the sweet taste of turning the tables."It'll be better if we suffer together. You know, I didn't plan to torment you for just three years," Zack said, closing the distance between them. "Let's make it forever," he whispered, his voice dripping with menace.His grin widened as he observed Drake's expression darken. However, standing closer to Drake proved to be a mistake."Oh, damn it," Zack cursed, blood bubbling up as he collapsed to the ground."All talk, huh?" Drake snorted, a twisted smirk forming on his lips as he pressed his foot onto Zack's face. "Your only shot at survival was staying locked away. Why set yourself free?""What's happening?" Zack grunted in agony, attempting to extract the knife lodged in his side, but it remained stubbornly embedded in his flesh."Can't you recognize these?" Drake sneered, with

Chapter 179: "Disturbing Visual"
Thanks to Merlyn, Drake finally learned where Lucille had been taken. He instructed Merlyn to locate her using his device, unaware that she would succumb to a heart attack afterward, much like the way he deceived and threatened Natasha into her demise."Code blue! Code blue! Room 203!" a nurse frantically announced.Medical staff rushed to Merlyn Spenser's side, the monitor next to her bed blaring with the alarming sound of a code blue. Doctors and nurses swarmed into the room, their faces etched with urgency as they converged around Merlyn's bed. The room was filled with the sound of rapid footsteps and the clatter of medical equipment."Goodbye, Merlyn. Thank you for your help," Drake coldly muttered as he casually walked out of the ICU, a strange sense of satisfaction washing over him."Why Canman, though?" he wondered, glancing at the address Merlyn had provided. "This doesn't sound good."He immediately hopped into his car and drove to Canman, Zack White’s hometown. Arriving the

When faced with a choice between life and death, the decision might seem obvious to most. Yet, Lucille Bmak's response was anything but expected. Though she typically valued her own survival above all else, this time she made a different choice."F*ck you!" Lucille spat defiantly, refusing to entertain whatever offer Zack White had in store. Having fallen into Drake's traps before, she was adamant about not allowing herself to be ensnared by another chain, even if it meant facing death."This is the last time I'm asking you. Listen to me, or—" Zack seethed, tightening his grip around her neck."I don't care! Kill me!" Lucille exclaimed, though her body trembled with fear. Summoning a forced smile, she added, "You've repeated yourself three times now. You sound like the one who needs me.""Who needs who?" Zack White yelled, his fury palpable. Despite his rage, he found himself unable to carry out Lucille's demise.Rebecca, the veteran user of the system, who had once bestowed favors up

Chapter 177: "Opposite Directions"
Inside Lucille's house, the dimly lit corridors exuded an eerie aura as Zack White prowled through them, his presence ominous and foreboding. His eyes gleamed with a dark resolve as he approached Lucille's study, his heart pulsing with venomous intent."Finally... the moment I've been waiting for," he whispered to himself. He tried to be as quiet as possible so that no one could detect him."I'll kill you once I'm done with my task," he murmured, his voice low and menacing. Despite the vigilant guards stationed at every corner of Lucille's house, Zack's movements remained undetected. He used a system device to camouflage himself through the guards.Peering into the study, he observed Lucille seated at her desk, completely absorbed in her work, unaware of his presence. Zack's lips curled into a sneer as he watched her, memories of past torment flooding his mind."You thought you could hide from me, Lucille. But I always find my prey," he hissed, his voice dripping with malice. "How dar
