Chapter 11
At that moment, after hearing the woman’s cold explanation, Liam could only shake his head in bitter disappointment. But the disappointment wasn’t quiet. It wasn’t gentle. It was the kind that tightened his jaw so hard that the vein on his forehead began to throb. His fists curled at his sides, and for a moment, it felt as though all the anger, humiliation, and helplessness in his chest were about to explode. He knew the truth already. Everyone did. Everyone knew the system was rotten, everyone knew society was corrupt to the core, everyone knew this world only protected the powerful and crushed people like him beneath its heel. An E‑leveled citizen like Liam had never truly been meant to win. Still, hearing it said so plainly so casually was another wound entirely. If he wanted to sue the woman who betrayed him, the woman who had taken his trust, his home, and his future, he would have to pay fifty thousand dollars. If he wanted to go after the man who had joined hands
Chapter 12
The moment Liam stepped into the section reserved for **E‑class citizens**, the difference hit him at once. Everything about the place felt stripped of dignity. The lighting was dimmer, the chairs were older, and the air itself seemed heavier, as if even comfort had a class ranking in this country. A few cracked plastic seats lined the wall, and a tired queue of poorly dressed citizens waited in silence, each one carrying the same worn expression of caution and submission. There were only three attendants assigned to the E‑class section, though the line was long enough to justify twice that number. Even so, what stood out most wasn’t the delay it was the contempt. The women at the counters didn’t even bother hiding the disgust in their eyes. They looked at the E‑class citizens as though they were stains on the floor rather than customers. It wasn’t surprising. The front desk staff in banks like this were usually **B‑class citizens**. People from that level rarely employed E‑cl
Chapter 13
The attendant didn’t stop there. If anything, the old woman’s trembling only seemed to encourage her cruelty. She let out a sharp, mocking laugh and tossed the document onto the counter. “This is exactly how people like you behave,” she said loudly, making sure everyone in the E‑class section could hear. “Dirty, wretched women like you come into the bank pretending you have money when you clearly don’t. Then you start looking for sympathy where you’re never going to get it.” Her lip curled in open disgust. “This is a typical example of poor, stinking, low‑class citizens,” she continued. “Always confused. Always troublesome. As if basic behavior is something completely new to you people.” The hall went still. No one spoke. No one dared to. The woman crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat, her face hard with contempt. “Well, as it stands now, I’m not attending to you anymore. Go home. Come back tomorrow. Maybe then I’ll decide whether I want to deal with you or not.”

Her threat snapped something inside him. Liam blinked, as though waking from a deep fog. The ringing in his head faded, replaced by the harsh reality in front of him. He had his own battles to fight. His own war to win. He couldn’t afford to lose focus not now. For a brief second, he almost opened his mouth to plead on the old woman’s behalf. The words rose to his throat. "Please, just attend to her. It’s urgent."But they died there. Confidence failed him. The weight of his own problems crushed the courage before it could form. Instead, he stepped forward. The attendant looked at him lazily. “What is your problem?” she asked, irritation still dripping from her voice. Immediately Liam swallowed. “I… I want to withdraw the remaining money in my account. All of it.” She leaned back in her chair and slowly looked him up and down from his worn shoes to his faded shirt. Her lips curved into a mocking smile. “Well,” she said dryly, “this should be interesting. Just to satis
Chapter 15
For a second, Liam felt as though his heart had forgotten how to beat. The world around him seemed to freeze. The low murmur in the bank, the shuffling of feet, the hum of the machines everything dulled into a distant blur. All he could hear was the echo of her words. “Zero...”"No."No, that was impossible. His lips parted, but for a moment, no sound came out. When he finally found his voice, it came shaky and strained, thick with disbelief. “What… what do you mean there’s nothing in that account?” he demanded. “What do you mean?” His breathing became uneven. “No no, this has to be a joke. There has to be some kind of mistake. Are you trying to.” The attendant cut him off sharply, her expression turning colder. “ Young man,” she snapped, “do I look like someone who would bluff about this? Or do I look like someone who doesn’t know what she’s saying?” She jabbed a finger at the screen in front of her. “You have zero money in this account. Completely zero. So what exac

At that moment remained where he stood, frozen in the wreckage of the moment. Shock held him so completely that he could neither speak nor think. It was as if the world had split open beneath his feet, and he was still standing only because he had not yet realized he was falling. The attendant, however, had no interest in mercy. “Well?” she said coldly. “I think it’s time you got your poor, disgusting-looking face out of my sight before I call security to drag you away.” Her words struck him, but they barely registered. Compared to what had just happened, even her cruelty felt distant. Faint. Almost meaningless. Because his life his entire life had just been stripped bare. He had nothing now. No house, no savings, no safety, no certainty. Nothing. Even his job was gone. After what had happened the previous day, there was no going back. He knew that much. Whatever bridge had existed between him and his old life had already burned to ash. So what now? How was he supp
Chapter 17
At once, Liam felt the violent pounding in his chest begin to settle. A moment ago, it had seemed as though the ground had vanished beneath him, as though his entire world had collapsed in one merciless blow. But now..now there was something to hold onto again. Something solid. Something real. The money was back. He could still fight, he could still drag City Hall to court. He could still go after Benjamin. He could still make Victoria answer for everything she had done. Maybe it wasn’t over after all. Maybe this was the first crack of light after a night that had seemed endless. He exhaled shakily, trying to steady himself, then stepped back toward the counter. “Thank goodness,” he said, relief still lingering in his voice. “If the money is back, then I want to withdraw all of it.” The attendant didn’t respond immediately. She only stared at him. There was something strange in her expression now something beyond surprise. She looked almost unsettled, as if what she wa
Chapter 18
Immediately Liam stared at the paper as though the numbers might rearrange themselves into something sensible if he looked long enough. But they did not. The figure remained exactly where it was. His mind reeled. "What the hell is this?""What the hell is happening?""How did five hundred million dollars get into my account?"He could barely breathe through the chaos rising in his chest. None of this made any sense. He had not been expecting money. He did not know anyone who could send such money. He did not even know where he would ever get five hundred thousand dollars from, let alone five hundred million. It was madness. Something was wrong—terribly wrong. At that moment a chilling thought struck him. Could this be Victoria? Could she and Benjamin be behind this somehow? Was this another trap? Another calculated scheme to bury him deeper? To make it appear as though he had stolen from them? To hand him over to the authorities with evidence they had planted themselve
Chapter 19
The moment the attendant finished speaking, something shifted in Liam's entire body. It was not just fear anymore. It was a deeper, more suffocating dread the kind that came from knowing he was already trapped, already sinking, and that no amount of struggling would pull him to the surface in time. He knew how this worked. He knew exactly how it would go the moment those higher authorities walked through that door. They would not come in looking for the truth. They would come in looking for a culprit. And a man of his level, standing inside a bank with five hundred million dollars suddenly sitting in his account, would need no further introduction as the suspect. They would not let him speak first. They would not even let him breathe before the accusations began. Questions would come like blows, fast and merciless, and none of his answers would matter because he had no answers. Not real ones. Not the kind that would satisfy anyone. He was just as confused as anyone else i
Chapter 20
Even as the attendant kept her head respectfully lowered, a slow smile crept across her face where no one could see it. She could already feel it the promotion. The recognition. The elevation in status that came with doing something remarkable on the job. Because the woman now standing on the other side of the counter was not just any senior staff member. She was one of the most powerful figures in this entire institution a Senior Director, no less. A woman of top B-class citizen, respected, feared, and connected in ways most people could barely imagine. And the attendant had been the one to call her here. She had been the one to spot it. To flag it. To act. In her mind, the reward was already as good as hers. Because this was exactly the kind of thing the system celebrated catching a lower-level citizen attempting to game a world that was never built for them. A citizen of Liam's standing had no business having that kind of money. None whatsoever. And the fact that she had
