2025-02-10 05:42:22"You damn bastard!" Zed's voice echoed as he swung out his fist towards Mr. Damien. The fist traveled through the air at blinding speed, and before Mr. Damien could react, the fist connected neatly with his face and pushed him several steps backwards.
The guards swiftly grabbed Zed's two arms, preventing him from sending out more attacks. Zed tried to break free but the guard's strength was overwhelming. "You are finally showing your true colors, Zed. I was wondering when you'd stop pretending." Mr. Damien commented as he wiped the blood off his lips before shifting his gaze towards the bunch of reporters watching by the entrance. "I'm sure by now you all already understand why I must fire him. I can't keep working with a lunatic. I mean, you suddenly attack someone for no reason at all?" Mr. Damien spoke audibly, and his gaze fixed on the reporters who were busy recording everything and jotting down some information. "You liar! You stole from me and now you are making me look like the bad guy?!" Zed voiced out, trying to set his arms free from the guards grip. "I didn't steal anything from you. The automatic car is a project of the Eclipse industries, and now that you have been fired you have no business with the car or anything about this company!" Mr. Damien spat without holding back. "I built that car. Do you have any idea how hard it took me to build it? How many sleepless nights? The sweat, the tears, the pain! Everything! And you are just going to steal it from me?!" Zed voiced out, pain evident in his voice. He finally gave up on trying to set his arms free and just stood there motionless. "You were only doing what we paid you to do. Stop acting like it was your personal project. I provided every single thing just to make sure it was a success, so quit ranting and just get out of here!" Mr. Damien retorted. Immediately after he said those words, the sounds of footsteps were heard from behind and a feminine voice rang out. "Stop embarrassing yourself and just leave this place already, Zed." The woman said in an audible tone as she approached them. Zed didn't need to set the woman's face because he recognized the voice instantly and knew who it was. It was his girlfriend, Mia. And she was also the daughter of Mr. Damien. Standing beside Mia was a striking young man with blonde hair, clad in a black suit, and a shiny golden rolex could be seen on his left wrist. Zed also recognized the man's face after catching sight of him. His name was Nick Campbell, the son of the most popular scientist in the whole of England. As Zed glanced at them, his eyes widened slightly in disbelief as he noticed both of them were holding hands, and they both had rings on their fingers. "Mia.. What's the meaning of this? Why are you with him?" Zed asked, his tone a mixture of anger and betrayal as he glanced at Mia. "What does it look like, Zed? I am engaged, and Nick is my fiancé." Mia responded as she glared at him in disdain. Zed was taken aback after hearing the words of Mia, and a look of disbelief on his face. "What are you talking about?" Zed muttered. "Are you so dumb that you can't understand my words? Nick is my fiancé. We have been dating for months now and we decided to advance to the next level." Mia spat without holding back. "I only agreed to date you because my father asked me to. He needed someone to keep a close eye on you and make sure you don't steal any of his tools and equipment while working. And also to make sure you are not helping other companies. But now that you are done with the creation of the car I see no reason to keep being with you." Mia spoke further. Zed stood there in disbelief. He has been dating Mia for close to a year now. He chose not to propose to her sooner because he wasn't financially stable. However, now that he was making progress in the company he planned to propose to her today after his appointment. But now it seemed like Mia never took their relationship seriously. She was dating another man, and he was nothing more than a pawn in her game. He had no reason to try to argue or even say another word to them. "I see." Zed muttered, his gaze fixed on the floor and his shoulders slumped. "I see. I see what's going on here. You all used me to your satisfaction, and now that you are satisfied you have recorded to dump me. It's all good." He spoke through gritted teeth, and his voice filled with rage. "Get him out of here, guards, I've heard enough of this drama." Mr. Dominic ordered. "Don't bother. I know the way out." Zed stated as the guards let go of his arms. He turned around and began to walk towards the exit door. The reporters that were eager to interview him earlier were now glaring at him in disdain as he walked towards the exit door. "Zed! You are free to keep the house and the car! A token of appreciation for what you did for our company!" Mr. Damien spoke up, but Zed kept walking away. As he walked back to the car he could hear the crowd whispering and laughing, and some were even mocking him audibly. Zed pulled the door of the car open and stepped into the driver's seat. The personal driver that was given to him by the company was nowhere to be found, so he had to drive himself back home. Zed started the engine of the car and drove out of the compound and began to head back home. He sat there in the car, his right hand gripping the wheel, his gaze fixed on the road, and his head filled with thoughts. Just like that he lost everything. All he had been building for years was gone just like that, even his biggest project was stolen from him and the woman he thought he would spend the rest of his life with was only using him. Zed now had nothing. The only source of income was from the company, and now that he has been fired he has nowhere else to go. Zed also doubts if any company will be willing to employ him after Mr. Damien made him look like the bad guy in front of the reporters. "I've lost everything. I see no reason for me to keep living." Zed swallowed hard, and tears streamed down his face. When all hope was lost, Zed heard a robotic voice in his head, and what looked like a blue holographic screen materialized in front of him. [Congratulations, you have awakened the Wealth system]

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?!"

The door of an office on the top floor in the mall flung open, and a man dashed outside. The man was in his early twenties, clad in a black suit and red tie.

He had just received a credit alert of an amount that the mall hasn't made in years, and he was eager to know who made the transfer.He ran down the staircase as fast as he could, and a few moments later he arrived on the second floor where he could see the female cashier and a group of people standing in front of her.He swiftly made his way towards them."Mirabel! I just received a credit alert of two million dollars!" The man, known as Carlos, blurted out in shock, and everyone watching gasped in shock."Oh, you have confirmed it. It was sent by this man."

[Congratulations! You completed the compulsory quest. Please choose your reward.][1- $10,000,000][2- Golden card]Zed glanced at the screen briefly before dismissing it. He decided to check it when he got back home instead of in the car.The car drove through the street of Sunderland for several minutes until it finally pulled over in front of his apartment. He pushed the door open and stepped outside. He grabbed his shopping bags and began to take them inside one by one. The Uber driver also assisted him, and when he was done he settled the bill and the man drove off Instantly.Zed threw himself on the couch and let out a sigh of relief before summoning the system.

Zed sat opposite Jessica and the middle-aged man. His arms folded, and his expression unreadable. Elena stood a few meters away from them, but she made sure she kept a close eye on them and listened to whatever they were about to discuss."I'm Jessica by the way. Jessica Maguire." 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?

His heart thundered in his chest, and cold sweat trickled down his face. His back was currently facing the thugs, so they couldn't see the tensed expression on his face. "What the hell?" He mused. "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?" The system remained silent, and Zed frowned. "Hey, man, why are you just standing there? Go get the briefcase!" One of the thugs voiced out, causing
Thieves in the night
All heads turned to Zed as the middle-aged man walked towards him. Zed just stood there calmly with his hands casually tucked in his pockets, and his gaze fixed on the man approaching him.The man finally came to a halt directly in front of 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." He added before walking away.Shortly after the middle-aged man left, a crowd of people swiftly surrounded Zed. They all begged him to tell them the lucky numbers he used to win so they could copy him and also win. Zed assured them that the same numbers might not work twice in a row, but he decided to tell them nevertheless. Who knows if they'll be lucky.A few moments later, th
Won a lottery: $8,000,000
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." He gestured, and she walked into the luxurious living room.Stepping inside, she glanced around with her mout

"I asked you a question, didn't I?" 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??" Santiago demanded, his voice filled with anger, and his eyes locked on Lucas."I..I have no idea, sir. It was done by a highly skilled hacker. He hacked into the system and withdrew the money.

"I don't think trades like that makes someone a multimillionaire suddenly." Nick Campbell interjected."Let's just worry about that later. Now we have a big problem at hand. We stole from Zed and chased him away.. he hates us, and now he's our biggest rival. A man as skilled as Zed will definitely build a perfect vehicle with that engine and he will easily get chosen by the US government, while my company would become a laughingstock. I can't let that happen." Mr. Damien mumbled with looks of contemplation."So what are you suggesting, sir? I'm willing to do anything for you." Nick asked."I don't know yet. But I'm sure I'll come up with something." Mr. Damien stated, and Nick Campbell nodded.'"""Somewhere else in the city.A luxurious mansion could be seen standing tall in a deserted area in the city.

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." Mr. Damien voiced out in anger."You don't unders
Highest bidder
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
Prove yourself first
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. "As you can see, Zimmerman, this is a gathering for wealthy folk
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.
