2025-02-10 05:50:57Zed stood there calmly after hearing the words of Mia, his hands casually tucked in his pockets, and his gaze fixed on Mia and her friends. The expression on his face was unreadable as he glanced at them.
One of the security men walked towards Zed, his hulking figure dwarfing him instantly. "Sir, I'm sorry but you have to leave now." The guard stated firmly. "And why should I leave? I thought this mall was open to everyone?" Zed asked calmly, his gaze never leaving Mia. "You're not a customer here, Zed, you're only a creepy stalker. You say you are not stalking me and you're only here to shop...tell me, how would a trash like you afford the goods that are sold here?!" Carol spat, her tone filled with disdain as she glared at Zed. "She's right. You already lost your job in my father's company. We all know the Eclipse industries has been the one providing everything for you, and now that you have been fired you are a nobody. You are a now worthless trash!" Mia retorted. "Is that what you think? I'm trash? A nobody?" Zed asked softly. "That's what you are...a worthless stalker. In case you haven't heard, I'm engaged and I will be getting married soon. So just stop stalking me and move on with your miserable life!" Mia spat, her tone laced with disdain and disgust. "Don't cause a scene here, gentleman. Leave now so I won't have to throw you out." The security guard spoke up in a commanding tone. "I'm here to shop, and I won't leave without getting the stuff I came for." Zed replied coldly as he shifted his gaze towards the guard and glared right into his eyes. Zed heard a soft chiming sound in his head as a blue holographic screen popped up in front of him. [A compulsory quest has arrived] [Quest information: Host seems to be in a situation where his wealth is being questioned by people below him. The system wants the host to prove to them that he isn't a worthless trash. The system wants you to purchase goods with $2,000,000.] [Failure: If the host fails to complete the quest he'll lose half of the money that was given to him in the first quest.] Zed glanced at the screen, and as he read the information written boldly on it a smirk appeared on his face. After reading it all he dismissed the screen and shifted his gaze back to the security guard who was about to drag him out. "I wonder what your manager would say or do when he finds out you threw out a customer who came to buy goods of two million dollars." Zed stated confidently. Hearing the words of Zed, the eyes of everyone there widened in disbelief. "Wha..wh.. what did you just say?" The guard stuttered, disbelief evident on his face. "You heard me right... gentleman." Zed replied. "Don't listen to him! He's lying!" Mia retorted. "There's no way this man has that type of money in his account. Even if he does there's no way he'll just throw it all away in a shopping mall.. only those who are madly rich can spend like that, and he's not rich!" "Are you trying to deceive me, young man?!" The security guard voiced out in anger. "Why will I deceive you?" Zed stated. "Why don't you allow me to pick the item I want, and if I fail to pay you throw me out? But if I do pay they will have to beg me on their knees first before you throw them out." Zed added audibly. "Is that a bet?" Carol asked. "There's no way you'll be able to pay such an amount, so you're on." Mia bellowed. Zed smiled and nodded before walking away to begin his shopping. As he walked around the mall picking the items he wanted the guards made sure he stayed close to him. The reason was because he didn't trust Zed, and he had to make sure he steals nothing while he was at it. As Zed picked the most expensive items in the mall he noticed something like a countdown floating beside him. [$700,000] [$1,100,000] He kept walking around the mall, picking several items. He made sure he picked the most expensive ones so he'll reach the goal on time. He finally picked the last item which was a bottle of perfume that costs thousands of dollars. [$2,000,000] When he was done picking the bags there were so many that the guard had to assist him as they headed towards the cashier to record it and also pay the bills. Mia and Carol also walked towards the cashier. Both of them couldn't wait for Zed to get humiliated. As the cashier calculated the amount of the goods in the bags, Zed stood in front of her, and his eyes scanning the mall. He noticed that the rest of the people who came here to shop already paused what they were doing. The amount of items Zed bought caught their attention, and they were all eager to see if a poor looking man like him would settle the bill. Most of them knew he wouldn't be able to pay for it and he was only a man seeking attention from the rich folks in the mall. A few moments later, the cashier was done calculating and she shifted her gaze towards him. "Everything you bought costs $2,000,000. How do you wish to pay? Cash? Card? Or transfer?" She asked. "Transfer." Zed replied as he pulled out his phone. The cashier gave him the account number and he began to make the transaction. "Done." A few seconds later Zed spoke up, his phone stretched forward, and the receipt of two million dollars was displaying on the screen. Everyone in the mall was starstruck. Their eyes widened in shock, and a look of disbelief evident on their faces. "Don't fall for his tricks! What he shows you is a fake receipt! He didn't actually send anything! You have to get confirmation from your manager!" Mia voiced out, and the rest of the people backed her up. A few moments after she said those words, a young man in black suit walked towards them swiftly. "Mirabel! I just got a credit alert of two million dollars!" The man in black suit blurted out.

Jessica introduced politely."Zed Zimmerman." Zed replied."I heard you are also interested in this shopping mall, and you're willing to double whatever amount I offer, right?" Jessica stated."That is correct." Zed affirmed."Why? Why are you so interested in this... small mall that is in the middle of nowhere?" She asked."Why are you also interested in it?" Zed responded with a question."Oh, I want nothing to do with the mall. I also need the land because it is in a deserted area like this." Jessica bellowed."The land? You mean you plan on demolishing the mall when you purchase it?" Zed inquired."Yeah." Jessica nodded."I see. So that's why you also increased the rent. You know they would be unable to

She mused.Elena doesn't remember introducing herself to Zed, she also didn't see the previous landlord mentioning her name to him. But for some reason he knows it."What a strange fella." She intoned, and a few seconds later she turned around and walked back into the mall to attend to the customers who were already waiting.After Zed exited the shopping mall he made his way towards the biggest car dealership in the whole of the city.

"Is this system trying to get me killed or what? How on heart do I prevent them from stealing the briefcase?" [You fight with your hands and your legs] The system responded mockingly. "Very helpful." Zed said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "How do I even fight them? I have never for once attended a boxing class or stepped foot into a karate dojo. So how am I supposed to fight?"

All heads turned to Zed as the middle-aged man walked towards him.

He glared at him for a few moments before shifting his gaze towards the computer screen where the notification could still be seen.He glanced at the computer's screen for a few moments before shifting his gaze back to Zed. He cleared his throat before speaking, "Congratulations on your win, sir." He said as he shook Zed's hand. "I'll be back shortly with your money."

Zed sat there in his living room for several minutes, scrolling through his phone to make sure he gets all the latest news and information concerning the engineering companies.After waiting for a few more minutes he heard a knock on his door. He placed the phone on the sofa, rose to his feet, and walked towards the door.He pulled the door open and the first thing he saw was a young woman around his age. She had long black hair, and she was clad in a simple long gown that swept the floor. Even though the gown she wore was super big and long, one could still notice her alluring body figure. She had the type of body that would make every man lust over.Zed glanced at her for a few moments before speaking up, "Uhm.. you must be the woman I spoke with earlier.""Yes, sir. I'm Kimberly. The one you hired." Kimberly introduced with a slight bow."I see." Zed nodded. "Come on in."

Santiago spat.Lucas swallowed hard before responding, "The estimated amount that went missing is $1,000,000,000."Hearing the words of Lucas, the eyes of Santiago and his men in the living room widened in shock. The room fell silent after as Santiago just stood there, processing what he just heard, while Lucas knelt down there shaking with his head bowed down."This is a joke, right? Tell me it's a joke, Lucas. Tell me it's a fucking joke!" Santiago voiced out in anger, causing each and everyone in the room to flinch."I wish it was a joke, sir. But I'm afraid it isn't." Lucas muttered shakily.Santiago stretched forth both of his hands and grabbed his collar before yanking him up to his feet."How the hell did this happen??"

Mr. Damien could be seen sitting on a couch with a glass of wine in his right hand. Standing opposite him was Nick Campbell."What do you mean you lost the rocket engine, Nick?" Mr. Damien asked, his face bright red in anger as he glared at Nick.Nick Campbell swallowed hard after hearing the words of Mr. Damien, and cold sweat trickled down his face."I was supposed to offer a total of $15,000,000 during the auction just like we talked about, and no one else would be able to offer such an amount and the rocket engine would automatically become ours. But things didn't go exactly as planned, sir. Somebody kept going until I didn't have enough money to keep going." Nick Campbell muttered shakily, and his gaze glued to the floor."What do you mean you don't have enough money to keep going? You should have called me and told me about this..I would have sent you extra $5,000,000 or $10,000,000.. I'm sure that would have shut the person up."

Nick Campbell stood there in silence with his gaze glued to the floor, and his two fists clenched. The beads of sweat on his face were now dropping to the floor, and his suit was also drenched in sweat. If someone should glance at him they would assume he was pulled out of a pool.Even though Nick couldn't see them, he could tell they were all staring at him. Every single one of them.Everyone in the building was expecting him to win because he was representing the Eclipse industries, and Nick was also from a wealthy family. It would be a shame for him to lose to a nobody like Zed Zimmerman.'Mr. Damien trusted me, that's why he asked me to represent him here today. He would be very disappointed in me if he finds out someone else got the engine. And not just anyone.. but Zed.' Nick Campbell pondered internally with his head bowed down, and his sweat falling to the ground.Mr. Damien gave him a total of $15,000,000 to participate in the auctioning program because he knew no one would

Before Nick Campbell could finish his sentence, a masculine voice reverberated throughout the place."$20,000,000." Zed spoke up audibly.Hearing the words of Zed, every single person turned their heads towards his direction to see just who had said those words. However, when they caught sight of him a look of disappointment appeared on their faces."Zed Zimmerman? I never thought I'd see you in a place like this. Who even let you in?" Nick Campbell spoke up after spotting Zed."Do you know this man, Mr. Campbell?" Smith inquired, his gaze fixed intently on Zed."Oh, yes I do. He was a top engineer in the eclipse industries, now he's nothing but a trash." Nick Campbell responded."If he's a trash then why is he speaking during the auction? He shouldn't interrupt us!" Smith spat, his tone laced with anger."I apologize on his behalf, sir. I'll make sure the trash leaves." Nick stated before shifting his gaze back to Zed.

Auctioning
"You..you.. you are going to make a transfer of $10,000,000 right now?" Miranda stuttered in disbelief."That's impossible!" Leo spat."I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't serious." Zed replied as he pulled out his phone and clicked on his banking app.Miranda stood there in silence for a few moments before muttering."All right then. Let's watch 'Zed Zimmerman' transfer $10,000,000." She chuckled softly before giving him the account details of the company.After receiving the account details Zed completed the transfer in less than a minute and he showed her the receipt on his phone. Both Leo and Miranda glanced at the receipt with looks of disbelief evident on their faces."Done. You can call your boss for configuration if you want.. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just gonna to enjoy the party." Zed winked before walking away, leaving the duo stunned by what happened. "It could be a trick or something. There's no way he transferred $10,000,000 like it was nothing at all." Leo mumbled.
