From Delivery Guy to the Richest Man: Infinite Luck System

10. Shattered Glass and Rising Stakes

The glass flew past him and slammed hard against the wall, shattering into pieces.

Some people screamed in shock, while Ken only paused for a split second.

In his heart, he quietly let out a breath.

If his reflexes had been just a little slower, or if his luck hadn’t been slightly higher than that of an average person, the glass would have already hit his head.

He didn’t turn around or curse. He simply opened the door and said lightly, “A bad temper, Sir. Be careful, it can shorten your lifespan.”

Then he left. His steps quickened slightly as he walked away from the room.

Ken still valued his life.

A few provocations were enough. If it went any further, he might truly die there, and the small bit of luck he had wouldn’t be enough to save him.

…

From inside the room, the sound of something being smashed was followed by a roar full of anger.

Miles stood in the middle of the room, breathing heavily, his jaw tightening. His gaze shifted sharply toward Lizzy, cold, piercing, and full of pressure.

But before saying anything to her, he glanced around.

“All of you, get out,” he said briefly, firmly.

No one dared to argue.

His friends exchanged glances for a moment, then one by one stood up. They knew very well what kind of temper the Young Master had. Staying longer would only drag them into trouble that wasn’t their concern.

A few seconds later, the room was empty.

Only Miles and Lizzy remained.

“Satisfied?” Miles finally asked. His voice wasn’t loud, and that made it far more frightening. “Satisfied with humiliating me in front of my friends?”

Lizzy swallowed.

“I-I…”

Miles smirked faintly, but his eyes didn’t smile.

“I didn’t know your ex-boyfriend had such a sharp tongue.”

“M-Miles… I didn’t know he had become like that either. Back then he—”

“Silence!”

The shout cut off her words, making Lizzy fall silent in fear.

In an instant, Miles’ hand grabbed her chin roughly, forcing her face up.

“It hurts… Miles, it hurts…” Lizzy whimpered, her eyes starting to water, her breath trembling.

Miles’ gaze swept across her face, the slightly trembling lips, the wet eyes, the fragile expression that had always managed to melt many men.

And yes, he was still tempted.

His grip loosened slightly. But his voice remained cold.

“Aren’t you the best at playing people?” he said quietly. “Use that. Make your ex-boyfriend suffer losses. Destroy him if necessary.”

Lizzy looked at him, still trembling, but she nodded quickly.

“Y-yes… I understand. I’ll do it…”

Miles stared at her for a few more seconds. Then he released her just like that, as if he had already lost interest. He adjusted his clothes, his expression returning to calm as if the anger from earlier had never existed.

Behind him, Lizzy held her jaw, which still throbbed with pain. Her breathing hadn’t fully steadied.

But slowly, her head lowered slightly. Behind the strands of hair that fell to cover part of her face, her eyes changed.

No longer fragile. No longer afraid.

There was a cold glint there, sharp and vicious.

In her heart, she murmured softly, “Just you wait, Ken… This time, I’ll make sure you can never rise again.”

…

Meanwhile, Ken left the Greenhill Residence area without looking back. His motorcycle sped up slightly more than usual.

When he finally arrived at his narrow rented apartment, Ken closed the door, leaned against it for a moment, then let out a long breath.

“At least I’m still alive.”

The system notification sound appeared again. A blue screen opened in front of him.

[Mission Complete]

[+5 Points]

[Total Points: 25]

[Host can open 5x Lucky Draw simultaneously for more optimal results]

Ken’s eyes immediately focused.

“…five at once?”

His heart beat a little faster.

He sat on the floor, his back leaning against the wall, then rubbed his hands together slowly as if trying to restrain something from getting out of control.

Without delaying, he activated the feature.

[5x Lucky Draw – Activated]

The light on the screen changed, and five slots appeared at once.

They spun, then stopped one by one.

[Congratulations, Host obtained: +$200 Cash Reward]

[Congratulations, Host obtained: Skill – Route Optimization (Basic)]

[Congratulations, Host obtained: Item – Stamina Recovery (x2)]

The fourth slot stopped a fraction of a second longer than the others.

[Congratulations, Host obtained: ??? (Locked)]

[(Unlock conditions not yet fulfilled)]

Ken frowned. Before he could process it, the last slot slowed down. His heart unconsciously began to pound.

[Congratulations, Host obtained: 5% Shares in Aurora Logistics Group]

Ken didn’t react immediately. He just stared at the glowing text, unmoving.

“…what?”

“Shares? Aurora Logistics…?”

The name echoed in his head, then clicked. His eyes widened slightly.

“Wait… that’s the company that fired me.”

A short, hollow laugh escaped him.

“Heh… seriously?”

Five percent. Even without knowing the exact numbers, he understood that it wasn't small.

Ken leaned forward a little, eyes sharpening as he looked back at the screen.

“So the company that kicked me out…” he muttered, a faint smile forming, “…is partly mine now?”
