“Hey.” Devon suddenly appeared in front of William. He glanced toward Trent, who was helping Evan and the workers nearby, before turning his attention back to William. “The bank guy is here. He’s looking for you,” Devon said. William nodded and climbed down from the gazebo at once, heading toward the living room where the bank representative was waiting. “What’s going on? Do you owe the bank money, or are they here to offer you some new deal?” Devon asked as he followed. William shook his head. “No, it’s Trent again.” That answer immediately made Devon quiet, although his curiosity only grew. He followed William into the living room, sat nearby, and listened without interrupting. Once he understood what had happened, Devon was genuinely shocked. How could he not be? Devon knew very well how badly Trent and his friends had treated William in the past. Trent had repeatedly bullied William and had even deliberately pursued Selene simply because he wanted to hurt him. Yet now they

[You have spent $600,000 on various clothing items for Sofie and Rita.] [You have received $1.2 million in cashback.] [Spend more money on Sofie, Rita, Sean, or Trent to receive additional rewards.] [You haven’t bought anything for Sean yet.] William smiled to himself. He had earned roughly $7.2 million that day, and there were still about five hours before the day officially ended. Even so, he wasn’t particularly interested in buying anything else. Sean already had plenty of money from his own work, so William didn’t think he needed to give him anything. But the thought of it still bothered him. William had just spent three million dollars clearing Trent’s parents’ debts, while the amount he’d spent on everyone else was comparatively small. It didn’t seem entirely fair. William picked up his smartphone and began scrolling through it, searching for something useful that he could buy for Sean, Rita, and Sofie. After a while, he finally found what he wanted and smiled with satisfa

William got up from his seat and went deeper into the mansion, choosing one of the empty rooms where nobody would disturb him. He had completely forgotten about the gacha tickets for several days, but now that he finally remembered them, his curiosity got the better of him.“Okay, I’ll use these tickets.”[Gacha appears!]A large, round machine suddenly appeared in front of William. It was filled with colorful little balls that rolled around inside the transparent chamber.[You can insert tickets here.]A small slot on the machine lit up. William inserted the five silver tickets one after another.The moment the tickets disappeared, the balls inside the machine began spinning rapidly. William watched them tumble around until the machine finally stopped. Five balls came out, one after another, and each disappeared as soon as the system revealed its contents.[You got $2 million.][You got a Lamborghini Aventador.][You got a Patek Philippe watch.][You got great swimming skills.][You

It was still very early, around five in the morning. Even William, who was accustomed to waking up before most people, thought it was unusually early.He stood alone on the beach behind the mansion. The sky had already begun to brighten despite the fact that the sun itself had not appeared yet, giving the entire coastline a quiet, pale glow.William wore black pants and a gray hoodie. The morning air was cold, and the wind coming from the sea made it even colder, so he pulled the hood over his head and kept both hands inside his pockets.He didn’t really know why he had woken up so early. Since there was nothing urgent he wanted to do, he simply stood near the shoreline and watched the small waves move toward the sand before retreating again.The mansion was located along the southern side of the beach, where the water was usually calm and the waves remained fairly small. The northern section was completely different. The waves there were much larger and attracted people who enjoyed s

William followed the location marked on the system map, walking quickly toward the beach. Since the body was relatively close to the mansion, he didn’t need much time to reach the area.As he walked, William called Leon. The detective took quite a while to answer, which wasn’t surprising considering how early it was.By the time Leon finally picked up, William had already reached the general area where the system had indicated the body would be.“What’s up, William? Why are you calling me at this time of night?” Leon asked in a rough, sleepy voice.“It’s not nighttime. It’s morning. It’s five-thirty in the morning.”“Hmm? Then why are you calling me this early?”“I found the body of a celebrity, and I’m not sure what I should do. What if the person who killed her was a gangster hired by someone powerful?” William asked.Leon didn’t respond immediately.William waited for several seconds before calling his name twice.“Leon?”“Leon?”The detective finally answered.“Wait a minute, Will

That day, William finally returned to campus with Trent, who had volunteered to drive him. Since William had no interest in driving himself around, having a personal driver was actually convenient.For some reason, though, William kept thinking about what Deva and Travis had told him about the celebrity whose body he had discovered on the beach.Her name was Ivana.Everyone knew that Ivana’s career had taken off with the support of one of her sponsors, a wealthy older man who had apparently invested heavily in her career. However, two months earlier, news broke that Ivana had a boyfriend who was a fairly well-known film director. As her popularity continued to grow, more and more acting offers came her way.One of those projects was the film where Deva and Travis had recently auditioned. Ivana was clearly the intended female lead, while Deva and Travis were being considered for other major roles.Eventually, both men were accepted. They even met Ivana several times, and the production

Soon enough, the classroom filled with students, and the lecturer was expected to arrive at any moment. William had barely settled into his seat when Trent leaned closer and spoke in a low voice.“You know, that guy is really ugly, and I feel a strange aura when I look at him. He’s the CEO of an entertainment agency that’s a rival of Hayper Entertainment,” said Trent.William gave him a small smile. He was actually pleased to hear Trent speaking like that. For the first time, it seemed his half-brother genuinely wanted to be useful instead of causing trouble.William was beginning to feel that he had two surprisingly useful assistants.He then turned his attention to Twaila and contacted her through their mental connection.“Turn yourself into a solid form, put on nice office clothes, and go to the office building to meet Jake. Then help him with his work in my place.”Twaila immediately nodded with enthusiasm. She seemed genuinely happy to finally have something useful to do. A momen
Chapter 138
William couldn’t believe what he was seeing. How could the murderer, or the perpetrator of that brutal killing, be the same person who had asked Leon to find Ivana? Jack Handerson. The cunning man who seemed to be filled with a dark aura was actually at Leon’s place. He kept telling Leon that he was very sad and couldn’t believe that someone he considered his own sister had been killed so brutally. In fact, it was Jack himself who had killed Ivana, through thugs who formed a gang. In reality, the gang itself belonged to Jack and was formed by Jack for his own personal interests. For half an hour, William remained silent. Watching the man act in front of Leon, the man came with his wife, who also acted as if they were the most innocent creatures in the world. After they finally left, saying they were very busy, William laughed out loud. He had been holding back from laughing at the two people’s terrible acting. Leon turned to William, "Why are you laughing? If you’re tired, make

Leon was sure that no cafe had ever made coffee as delicious as this. In fact, William seemed to make it carelessly. "William, how about you open a coffee shop—" "Back to the original topic, Leon! We’re talking about Jack Handerson. I don’t want any more victims besides Ivana. And I also don’t want to suddenly be accused myself. Because my position is not pleasant, we have to resolve this quickly. And so you can focus on helping me." Leon nodded, "Okay, okay, William... I know teenagers like you are impatient." "I don’t think I’m a teenager anymore, I’m 21 years old," replied William irritably. "Wow! You’re still that age and already that tall? The average height for men in our country is only 175 cm." "Stop going off topic, Leon!" Leon chuckled at William’s annoyance. It was very funny to see William’s sulky face. "Okay, William, let’s get serious now. So, tell me how you know he’s the culprit when that’s the only clue you have?" William raised an eyebrow, "Oh, didn’t you kn

The car door opened, and William got out slowly. He had just arrived at the office building at around three in the afternoon. Even though William had many employees to handle all the work, he felt he had to come to cheer them on. Not only William’s employees, but employees from other companies renting offices there also looked excited when William arrived. As soon as William got out of his car, they immediately recognized him. They waited for him to come out and greet them. They clearly showed admiration on their faces. "Aren’t you coming to the office?" William asked his personal driver. "Ahem! Actually, I have other work waiting for me, I mean Devon—" "Are you hiding something?" William asked suddenly. In fact, Trent was trying hard to hide his sad expression. But William knew it anyway, making Trent feel awkward and confused about what to do other than tell the truth. William’s expression, which seemed indifferent yet very caring, made Trent melt instantly and say what was
