Gavin woke up after sunrise. He still remembered how he ended up sleeping there.But strangely enough, he didn’t care that much. Right now, it felt more like he had just gone through some bizarre dream. “A system?” Gavin muttered. “Yeah right... I must’ve been thinking too much.” “And what the hell was wrong with that old man anyway?” Walking along the sidewalks of Riverton City, Gavin rubbed his stomach from hunger. Since last night, the only thing in his stomach had been a single can of beer. Eventually, he entered a fast-food restaurant. After placing his order, he picked a seat, and it didn’t take long before the food arrived. While eating, Gavin kept thinking about what he was supposed to do now. Even though last night had been one of the worst moments of his life, somehow, after waking up, he felt strangely relieved. Even the pain in his head and nose had disappeared. But in the end, his thoughts drifted back to what happened the night before. The moment he remembered

Because of what happened earlier, Gavin ended up spending most of the afternoon handling his phone number himself.Right now, he desperately needed a place to stay. There was no way he intended to return to the place where he had experienced the worst moment of his life.Since he now possessed unlimited money, Gavin began considering buying an apartment for himself.And that was exactly why he was standing here now. In front of one of Riverton City’s luxury apartment buildings. Considering whether he should rent—or outright purchase—one of the units inside.After all, according to the System, he needed to spend at least one hundred million dollars every month to prevent his System Stability from decreasing.And since the System clearly functioned in reality... The punishment probably did too.Poverty had failed to kill him all this time. It would be ridiculously pathetic if wealth ended up separating his soul from his body instead.Still, one problem continued bothering him. If he sud

Ding![Warning][Mental Condition: Unstable][Biological Urges Intensifying]Meanwhile, inside the room, Gavin stared at the System warning in shock. He never expected his biological urges to affect his System status.“Shit... am I seriously going to die just because I’m suppressing my libido?”[System Stability Decreased: 1%]Gavin froze slightly, his mouth hanging open.Earlier, he had been trying hard to remain calm after seeing Olivia standing by the bedroom door right after finishing her shower.As beautiful as she was, this wasn’t Gavin’s first time seeing Olivia. She had even hugged him earlier out of excitement after he transferred the money to save her club. But Gavin’s blood still heated instantly the moment he saw her now. Without makeup, Her slightly damp hair framing her face while the fresh scent of soap lingered around her body.Even though Gavin tried to keep eye contact while speaking to her, he still noticed the tiny black panties contrasting sharply against her pa

Olivia’s body was still trembling.Two hours earlier, Gavin had transferred another twenty million dollars into Noctis Club’s account under her control to prove he was serious.“Olivia. If your family truly used to have its own business network... are there any old structures left?”“There are still a few companies remaining. But they’ve been dormant for years.”“Reactivate them.”Olivia fell silent for a moment.“But... that’ll take time. And of course, reviving them won’t be cheap either.”“I already sent the money.”“Huh?”That final conversation kept replaying inside Olivia’s head long after Gavin left to handle his own affairs.Even after personally seeing the money arrive, she still found it difficult to believe.Twenty million dollars. Just to awaken dead companies.Slowly, Olivia stared at her own reflection in the mirror.“I need to meet them.”Without hesitating any longer, she immediately grabbed her blazer and handbag.“Alright then, Mister Valerio...”“If you truly can res

“Hope.”Leaving the dean’s office, Gavin decided to test the knowledge he had just gathered earlier inside the university library.Originally, he planned to spend at least the next few days studying the same things before attempting anything risky. But after hearing what Bella and those girls said earlier, his mindset began to change.Inside the taxi, Gavin reopened his System panel. Earlier, he had heard several notifications echo inside his head, but chose to ignore them.[ WARNING ]The user currently possesses no territory.[System Stability: 40%]Gavin had already seen this warning before, so he wasn’t particularly surprised when it appeared again.Still, one thing caught his attention. System Stability had increased. Previously, it had decreased after he transferred money to the university account because the System considered it a reckless action.Even so, Gavin didn’t regret it. After all, he still received points from it. With a total of 360 points now available, Gavin decide
