Wealth System After Being Cheated

Becoming a cafe owner

"I wonder why he's in this hospital. We know that this is where people with money go for treatment. After I asked, it turned out that Melvin was sick. And I was shocked. How could he be admitted to this hospital?"

"Let it go. It's none of your business, honey."

"Yes, I know, but I'm just curious. And oh yes I want to tell you about something. He was admitted to this hospital because he was hurt by someone who said he wanted to steal his wallet. But somehow I don't believe it,"

"Why don't you believe?"

"He just got punished by the universe because he made you fall earlier? You told me earlier that it was a car driver who knocked you down, right?"

"Yes, and there are many people who own cars. And did you forget that he doesn't have a car. You said so yourself,"

"But he can be treated here, is he already a person with a lot of money now? From where? He must have committed a crime," Hasley muttered with a cynical expression on her face.

"If he really is the culprit, I will teach him a lesson. Let him know that if he plays with me there will be punishment from me,"

******

"Oh my God, how can he look like a wealthy man now when I know very well that he's poor,"

Hasley was surprised to see Melvin and his mother enter an expensive car. Hasley didn't expect Melvin to be driving that car. From the vehicle number, to the model of the car, she was sure it was Melvin's because she knew Melvin had really dreamed of having that car when he was her boyfriend. She was sick of Melvin never getting tired of dreaming about having that car.

Melvin's vehicle number with the first letter of Melvin's name. Hasley shook her head in disbelief.

"Well, that means he's already a rich man. Let him live as a rich man so he knows how good it is to be a person with a lot of money,"

"But you see, it's an expensive car, and it's his dream car," Hasley said, making her boyfriend furious. Hasley's relationship with Melvin was over but Hasley still seemed to like commenting on Melvin's life now without her.

"Why are you still talking about him, Hasley? Do you still want to have a relationship with him?"

"Oh of course no, Sean. I'm just confused and curious about how he became so rich that he can afford to buy his dream car,"

"So you know about her dream car?"

"Yes, I know everything he dreams about. And I'm getting sick of hearing all his dreams. Because I thought that even if the world fell apart, all his dreams wouldn't come true. But—-but I'm surprised, why is he able to realize one of his dreams now? That's the car he’s been dreaming of, Sean. Oh my god, he really seems to have committed a crime in order to get rich."

"We don't know the truth. Maybe he got the inheritance from his family,"

"Hahahaha no way, honey. I know about him, about his family. They're poor, don't have much money,"

"I wonder how you could love him and stay for three years. After your relationship ended, you made fun of him. Then why did you want him if he and his family are poor? When you were still in a relationship with him, you certainly never mocked him, right? You lasted for three years,"

Hasley paused and then laughed. Hasley got into the car followed by her boyfriend, Sean, who had also been discharged by the doctor.

"I admit my stupidity back then. Yes, hopefully that stupidity will never be repeated,"

"It's true that love is blind. Already know poor, you still want to be his girlfriend," said Sean with a sardonic smile.

(Sir, doesn't need to work as a waiter in a cafe anymore. Let’s prepare to be the owner of a cafe)

Melvin's recovery process was very fast. After only two days in the hospital, he was discharged by the doctor.

As soon as he got to his room because his mother told him to rest, and on the doctor's orders he also had to rest a lot, the system suddenly came up with the next mission.

"So not only do I have to learn self defense, I also have to learn to be a cafe owner? That's really hard. I'm used to being a waiter, not an owner."

(Sir, you must not give up. Now come to the cafe that has been prepared for you. You can start your duties from tomorrow if you want. All the revenue from the café will go to you)

"I really became a cafe owner? Am I not dreaming?"

(No, Sir. The café is really yours. Do your duty as a good cafe owner. And you get a hundred thousand dollars to prepare whatever the café needs)

"Do I have to go to the cafe now?"

(If you are able, it's fine to come now so that you can get to know your new workplace)

"Okay, I'll come now."

Although his mother would most likely forbid him to go, as he had just recovered from an illness and still needed to rest a lot, he would try first to see if she would let him go.

As soon as Melvin came out of his room, Melvin immediately approached his mother who was preparing the food that she would sell tomorrow because starting tomorrow Grace would return to work because her son had been discharged from the hospital.

"Mom, let me go out for a moment."

"Where to, Melvin? Did you forget what the doctor said? He told you to get plenty of rest, Melvin,"

"Yes, I know, Mom. But I've been given a cafe. I'm going to be the owner,”

"Oh my god, Melvin. What is this again? After you bought expensive things, bought a car, now you own a cafe? Is that from your wealth system?"

"Of course, Mom. I wouldn't be able to own a cafe if I didn't have help from the wealth system,"

Grace sighed softly. Now she focused on her son with soft eyes.

"You didn't commit a crime, did you?"

"No way, Mom,"

"Honestly, until this moment I still don't believe your life has changed drastically,"

"Not only mom, I'm still not sure sometimes. But this is the reality,"

"Are you allowed to tell me about your wealth system?"

"Yes, I'm not forbidden to tell you. The wealth system that I have knows that you are a very precious person to me, and whatever I have, you have the right to know because I am your son,"

"Don't forget to keep doing good, Melvin, use what you have the best you can,"

Melvin smiled and nodded his head while answering "Sure, Mom. I don't want to disappoint you. Now I'll go first, Mom,"

"Where are you going?"

"The cafe that will be mine, Mom,"

Grace nodded her head. She let her son go. But as Melvin took a step away, Grace suddenly remembered that her son had just been attacked by someone else.

"Melvin, wait!"

Melvin stopped his footsteps and looked at his mother who was now walking towards him.

"Mommy is accompanying you,”

"No need, Mom. You're better off at home, and you don't have to be tired from now on, Mom. I'll be the one earning the money. I've told you many times to stop selling but you still want to sell. I already have my own cafe, Mom. Let me make the money,"

"So you're going to quit being a waitress at the cafe where you've been making money for five years?"

"I think I'll make that decision, Mom. So that I can really focus on my cafe,"

"I'll support whatever you decide. Now let me accompany you because I'm worried about you, Melvin. You were recently attacked by a stranger who want your money and you had to be hospitalized. Let me accompany you, okay?"

"Mom, don't worry, I've been made strong. And I'll also learn martial arts once I'm in a better condition."

"Made strong? What do you mean?"

"Yes, a strength system has been installed in my body,"

“No, Mommy want to accompany you, Melvin,”

*******

(This is your cafe, Sir. Congratulations on becoming the owner, I hope you can enjoy your new role)

Melvin stared at the cafe in front of him with an amazed look. He never imagined that he could own a spacious cafe like this.

His life has completely changed. He is grateful amidst the confusion and disbelief that still exists today. He who was a poor man working as a café waiter, and had a mother who sell food never expected to be able to buy luxury goods, be able to own the car he wanted, and now own a spacious café.

"So this is your cafe, Melvin?"

"Yes, mom. What do you think?"

"It's very spacious."

"Yes, I was surprised to see it too, but I'm very grateful,"

"Whatever comes into your life, you must accept with gratitude," Grace said as she rubbed the back of her son who was now standing next to him still staring at the cafe with an admiring gaze.

"I wonder what's inside the cafe."

"Let's go inside the cafe, Mom,"

Melvin invited his mother to enter the cafe. There were already tables and chairs for customers.

"No wonder I was given more money to buy things for the cafe. Because what I see now is that the cafe is still empty,"

"You were asked to buy the cafe supplies by yourself?"

(Make your friend a part of you. He can be trusted to be your right-hand man)

Melvin gasped at the voice. It turned out that his system wanted him to bring Steve along. He was happy to hear that.

"I'll do it."

"Who are you talking to, Melvin?" Asked Grace who was confused to hear her son speak.

"I talked to the system,"

"Mom didn't hear it,"

"I don't know why you can't hear it when it's real to me."

"I just wish you good health, Melvin," murmured Grace who was honestly afraid that Melvin was living in a hallucination of his own making. Although if you think about it, everything Melvin has now is reality. Melvin actually bought expensive things, owned a car, was hospitalized in a reputable hospital, and now owned a cafe. Grace was still very confused about what happened.

Melvin chuckled at his mother's words wishing him good health. He knew what she meant by saying that.

"Mom must think I'm crazy, right? No need to worry, Mom. I'm not crazy, I'm still the same Melvin you've known all this time. It's just that the system changed my life," Melvin told Grace with a smile.

Melvin called Steve and asked him to come to the cafe. The two of them would work together to build the cafe into a successful source of money that would make them well-off.

Steve happened to be at home, not working, Steve immediately fulfilled his best friend's invitation. Steve came to the cafe and he was amazed at the cafe that Melvin owned.

"I didn't expect it, Melvin. Your life could change this quickly. But I'm happy for you, and I also want to thank you for trusting me to work with you. I'll be your reliable right-hand man, I'll try not to let you down.

Melvin smiled and embraced Steve briefly. His friendship with Steve had been going on for quite some time. They've known and been friends since their school days. Always there for each other. And they both worked in cafes as waiters but in different cafes. Now they would be united in the same café.

They started writing down what was needed for the cafe. And Grace just enjoying the busy of them.
