I Became A Billionaire Overnight
It took just a few seconds and his dashboard was displayed on the screen of his laptop, showing the summary:
Balance: 50 Nova coins
Current price: $800,000,000 per coin
Underneath, it showed an option:
Convert Nova to USD – Total Value Available To Withdraw: $40,000,000,000
Ryan’s eyes widened. He leaned forward, staring hard to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
Total Value: Forty billion dollars.
He clicked Convert to USD.
A small spinning circle appeared on the screen. Then all of sudden, it showed up a notification on the screen.
Transaction Successful.
His screen refreshed, and the number appeared in green:
Available Balance: $40,000,000,000.00
Ryan let out a cold loud breath. He couldn’t believe it, his eyes blurred out in shock. The money was real. Sitting in his Nova wallet. Forty billion dollars for someone who had never even held five thousand dollars in his account before.
He laughed before he could control himself. A broken, breathy laugh. He was still sitting on a cracked chair, in a small room, with nothing but a broken, crappy laptop, and yet, in at that moment, he was one of the richest people on earth.

Chapter: Chapter 34Ryan looked Julian in the eye, and looked very obvious that he was unshaken by the mocking smiles plastered across both his and Elizabeth face.Ryan took a deep breath to steady himself before speaking his next words, "Didn’t I already tell you at the station that I’d be attending this party? And not just attending… I told you what I came told you what I came to do here. I’m the one receiving the Golden Award tonight."There were three awards in all, the bronze, silver and gold awards, all presented to different category of individual, based on their contribution, which could be money or any contribution that wasn’t money but shook the hall.“So, yes… that is why I am here,” Ryan repeated as they still stood in front of him. He was about to push past them and walk towards the gate before Julian blocked his path as if not wanting him to pass yet.Julian let out a loud, mocking laugh that drew the attention of nearby guests. "The only award you’ll be getting tonight is a slap across th

Chapter: Chapter 33After leaving the station, Ryan didn’t call a driver or wait for a car. He took a bus down to his mansion in Central Town. The luxury of his lifestyle didn’t matter right now. The only thing on his mind was his mother.Detective Mark’s voice and advice kept ringing in his head. He remembered how he had advised him to go to the party, even if Ryan didn’t feel like it.He sighed heavily. “Mark was right.”If he didn’t go, he’d miss a critical chance to study them up close. Maybe they’d let their guards down at the party. Maybe someone would slip and he would find out something. His mother’s life could depend on what he saw or heard at that party."Boss?"The voice pulled him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see Claudia descending from the large staircase, looking ever beautiful and stunning."Where have you been all day? I tried calling you several times. You didn’t answer. I was getting worried coupled with the thougts of the strange call in the morning before you left. Are you alr

Chapter: CHAPTER 32Julian stomped out of the police station, his expensive shoes hitting the pavement with an angry force. Elizabeth followed him closely behind, her high heels clicking as she struggled to keep up."Julian, wait! Slow down!" she called after him.At that point, Julian was angry and nervous, and also he still felt the shame from earlier and he was even considering how it would feel for Elizabeth to look at him again after he lost his job in front of her.“What the hell, why are you so afraid of the police? Why in such a hurry?” Elizabeth said with a colder voice now as Julian still ignored her, seeming to be focusing too much on reaching his car quickly and driving out fast.He didn’t respond. His jaw was tightened, his eyes fixed on his car ahead only like it would disappear if he didn’t reach it on time. As they approached, Detective Mark stepped out of the station's entrance, his voice breaking the silence as he shouted."Julian Knight! You’re not dismissed yet! Come back here immedia

Chapter: Chapter 31Julian's eyes narrowed at Ryan, and he barked, "What the hell do you mean by that nonsense? Are you out of your mind? The only people that would honor someone like you are your mates from the slums and even that would be in the streets, not at any high-class party."“This party is held for something more important, and not even close to honoring somebody, talk more of you, a nobody who won’t even get access to the venue,” Julian added.Elizabeth scoffed dramatically, turning her disgusted gaze to Ryan. "You must be seriously delusional," she said, her arms crossed and her nose in the air. "The Stallion Night VIP party isn’t some circus open to stray dogs. It’s organized by the high society of this state—CEOs, royalty, governors, and top businessmen who want to contribute to the development of our state."She didn’t stop there. "People who attend donate millions to the state government. They support causes like orphanages, hospitals, infrastructure. Hell, they even give awards to billi

Chapter: Chapter 30Julian took his car and Elizabeth followed him in the same car while Detective Mark and Detective Kelvin carried Ryan in theirs.The ride to the police station was extremely. Elizabeth sat with her arms crossed tightly, her eyes fixed on the road. She refused to talk to Julian for the embarrassment he caused her in front Of Ryan and her parents.while Julian stared out the window, clearly lost in thought. His hands kept twitching on the wheel as he kept replaying the events of the day. Ryan, on the other hand, was calm, even as his mother was still missing.As soon as they arrived at the station, Detective Mark led Julian, Elizabeth, and Ryan into an office with a single table and three chairs.“Please have your seats, we have a lot to talk about,” he said calmly, pointing at the three chairs.Detective Mark walked around to his side of the desk and placed a notepad in front of him. He clicked his pen and scribbled a few points quickly. Detective Kelvin remained by the door with his ar

Chapter: Chapter 29Elizabeth swayed, almost fainting from pure embarrassment. Her face swollen as she turned sharply to Julian, her voice shaking as if she would break down in tears in the next moment."Wait… all that money , you mean it wasn’t yours? You were making all those promises with money that didn’t even belong to you?"Julian ran a hand through his hair, guilt written all over his face. "Elizabeth, I didn’t say that…""You did!" she cut him off. Her eyes burned with anger and what looked like embarrassment. "You said we were going to get a one billion dollar house after our wedding. Was that all lies too?"Julian looked helpless. "Look, I just need you to be positive right now, okay? I’m going to bounce back somehow.""Somehow?!" Elizabeth yelled, her voice echoing through the large mansion. "How are you going to bounce back when you just got fired? You didn’t just lose a job, Julian. You lost your entire position at Nova!"Julian opened his mouth to respond, but no words came out. He had no e
