Weak to Powerful

Being rich but can't spend

Edward arrived at his apartment,a two story building with faded paint and tattered environment.

Individuals who weren't able to afford a nice appartment in Brickwoods,chose to settle in the one room apartment.

Edward climbed the steps,footsteps echoing with every step he took. His room was located at the top floor of the building.

Arriving infront of his door,Edward unlocked his door and was about to go in..

"Where are you coming from?" A female's voice said from behind,startled,Edward quickly turned around to see who just spoke. After catching a glimpse of the girl,Edward scoffed and ignored her question.

The girl was Angela Alvarez,daughter of a Brickwoods sheriff. Sporting brown hair that touched her waist,a heart like shaped face and a hot body. Anyone who spot her on the street would conclude that she was the daughter of one of the rich men.

But she wasn't rich,nor is her family rich. Working as a sheriff,Angela's dad was earning a decent amount of money and the family was doing well. Things changed when Angela's mother developed a dangerous disease that costs lots of money to cure.

Angela's dad has been saving up his salary since then to cure his loving wife.

"It's pretty late,you know,this is the hour those dangerous gang operate." Angela said,worried for her neighbour. "You could get hurt if you run into them,and even my dad won't be able to save you."

"Yissh,okay mom" Edward said mokingly,but quickly realised he has done something wrong by mentioning the word 'Mom' infront of Angela.

Angela's face went from concerned expression to sad expression, "Good night" Angela said calmly as she walked into her room.

Edward stared at her door,debating whether to knock and apologize or not.

"I'll just do it tomorrow." Edward concluded,walking inside his room and shutting his door.

Edward quickly sat down on his work bench and began to type away on his computer.

'I have to move the money into my private account. The one i created myself.' Edward said,pushing his glasses back up for they slipped down and continued typing aggressively.

'Those bastards will surely track down their money,and would eventually get it back if i don't move it to my account.' Edward said internally,his eyes glued on his computer screen,different codes and numbers appeared and disappeared with every button he pressed.

(Are you sure you want to transfer $74,999,999,999,999 to Edflex Account?)

A smile formed on Edward's face after reading the notification on his computer screen. He quickly hit the [Enter] button on the key board and a progress bar appeared.

Transfering: 1%

Edward took of his glasses and rubbed his eyes,then put it back on.

'I can't believe i became wealthy all of a sudden.' Edward thought with a smile on his face. The whole thing still feels like a dream to him,a poor boy like him suddenly becomes a trillionaire.

All the months Edward has been trying to hack one of thd rich men's account,he didn't have high hopes of getting more than few thousands dollars. He knew the security guarding the account would cut the transfer before a large some of money enters his,but here he was,able to get 750 trillion without getting caught off.

'I'll finally become someone other than my usual trash self?' Edward pondered as he laid down on his bed to sleep,leaving the computer powered on to finish the transfer.

****

Somewhere in Brickwoods,a tall skyscraper was located designed with modern designs and blinding lights surrounded the building at night. In the middle of the building,a sign was written boldly >>Interlect bank<<.

The bank was specifically meant for the top dogs around Brickwoods.Mafia lords and gang leaders usually deposit their cash there for safe keeping and to avoid suspicious question from the cops.

Inside the building,people dressed in black suit were busy typing away in their computers. Even if it's almost mudnight,the people kept working to avoid errors that'll anger the crime lords.

"Mary,are you okay?" A man asked,noticing the partner sitting beside him sweating like crazy and a worried expression was visible on her face.

"Earlier,a sum of money suddenly disappeared from our banking vault and got transffered to another bank." Mary replied,typing away with panic.

"What the hell?! And you said nothing?!" The man raised his voice in anger,attracting attention from the remaining workers.

"I thought it was a minor issue since the bank the money was transfered into was a well known bank,and i could just reverse it back." Mary explained,still typing hasitily. "But for a while now i've been trying to reverse it,but the hacker managed to put up a strong security code."

"When i was finally able to bypass the security,the money was no longer in the account." Mary finished her explanation.

The workers around began to murmur among themselves and curses directed to Mary was heard here and there. Mary was the one in charge of the bank security,it was her job to prevent something like this.

"How much is missing?" The man asked,trying to surpress his anger. He knew what could happen to them if $1 should go missing from their account.

Mary remained quiet and her head facing the floor.

"How much?!" The man shouted,making everyone in the room to flinch.

"750" Mary replied in a shaky voice.

"750 what?" The man inquired

"7-7-750,T-Trillion dollars."

The whole workers in the room gasped in shock,a lady among the workers collapsed to the ground out of shock.

"Haha,very funny,Mary." The man let out a loud laughter,assuming it was a prank from Mary. "Pick up that phone,and inform the lords of your mistake." The man stormed out of the room in anger,leaving Mary with her thoughts.

The morning sun rose up,the rays flickering through the small window and shining on Edward's face. Edward lifted his eyelids slowly and sat on his bed stretching and yawning.

After making sure he was fully awake,Edward put on his eye glasses and rushed to his work bench to check on his computer.

[Transaction completed]

That was notification that displayed boldly on the computer's screen when Edward checked. A smile appeared on Edward's face after reading the notification.

He took out his phone and clicked on his bank app,the bank he created himself. The app showed his current balance,thesame trillion from last night.

'I'm truly a bad,bad,boy,haha' Edward laughed out loud at his evil doings. He felt no remorse about who could have owned the money,he knew the person probably stole or sold drugs to get it.

'Now,how should i start spending?' Edward held his chin,contemplating on what to buy first,or what business he should start.

Lots of business ideas came to Edward,and he wrote them down in a piece of paper so he won't forget later on.

'But won't it look weird to just start spending money lavishly? Everyone knows me as a common security man,they would probably ask questions about where i got the cash. And who knows,they might link it back to the hacking,and the gangs would come after me.' Edward pondered.
