2025-12-10 22:48:16Inside the car, he grabbed the card packs and decided to move on to the second step of his experiment.
Buying the card packs was essentially a gamble but it was also a collection item. Which meant that it wasn’t all just gambling and he wanted to see what his system would categorise it as.
Out of the six packs, he opened four and kept two unopened before waiting for the clock to hit 12.
Money Spent: 2010 Dollars
Ding! You have received 4020 Dollars.
“Hah! Nice, so buying the packs and not opening them isn’t considered gambling. And what if I open them the next day after I have my money doubled? Will I have the money deducted?” he said out loud as he picked up the two unopened packs.
Without any hesitation, he ripped them open and tossed the cards to the side before looking up at his status screen.
[Status]

The money hadn’t changed.
“At least I know what to buy when I feel lazy.” he muttered as he collected all the cards and put them on the back seat.
He headed into the supermarket and walked back with multiple boxes that said “Premium Collector’s Box”
It was just cards and Adrian had no intention of opening them at the moment. With 40 dollars still in his pocket, he drove back to the hotel and went to bed.

Letty sat in the hotel lounge and looked at her messages. Particularly one guy’s messages.
It only had the link that she had sent. The guy hadn’t even texted her a thank you.
She pouted slightly as she looked at the link, ‘He didn’t even tell me his name but I also don’t want to ask him… He didn’t ask for the timings either.’
As she second guessed her choice of hiring him, she heard his voice from behind.
“Lady Letty Garcia, we can leave whenever you’re ready.”
She immediately turned around to see Adrian in his perfect suit and he looked like an unpolished model.
‘He needs self care but he’s gorgeous already.’ she thought before shaking her head, “What? Lady? This isn’t the nineteen hundreds. Calling me Letty is fine. You’re a bit early but let’s go grab some breakfast. You’ll be joining me by the way.”
Adrian nodded and walked out but just as he was about to get to his car, she tapped his shoulder, “No, not that one. You’ll be driving this.”
“A Hercules Imperial?” he asked softly as he stared at the sleek, black SUV that Letty had pointed at.
“Yes, the S680 model. Do you think you can drive it?” she asked as she handed the keys to him.
Adrian nodded and opened the door for her but she didn’t get in. Instead she pointed at the passenger seat in the front.
He stared at her for a moment, looking confused before he opened the door to the front seat instead. A worker didn’t ask questions and he wasn’t going to either.
‘Usually they sit on the back but I guess she’s one of the different ones.’ he thought as he watched her get into her seat and then closed the door before getting behind the wheel.
“So, did you decide on what university you want to go to?” she asked the moment he turned on the engine.
Adrian shook his head as he switched gears to first, “Not yet. I have a few options but I don’t know which to go for.”
“If you pick business management and do well, feel free to contact me for a job. Of course, I can offer you a job if you go with the other options as well.” she said as she looked at him.
Unable to hold back her curiosity, she pursed her lips and went for it.
“Also, it’s rude to not tell me your name. You know mine and you also work for me. It puts me in a bad light if I don’t know the names of those who work for me.”
“Adrian Wolfe.” he said as he focused on the road. The car was extremely smooth and he couldn’t even feel the engine’s vibration.
Letty nodded and suddenly stopped talking. Weirdly enough, she even told him to skip breakfast and got him to drive her straight to the meeting location.
Adrian did as he was told without any questions and waited in the car while she did her thing. Hours passed and he took her to another meeting before driving her to a party.
“I don’t really wish to attend this one…” she muttered before she turned to look at Adrian who sat silently behind the wheel.
He was doing his job perfectly, not asking questions and answering her whenever she asked him something.
“Ugh why are you so professional!?” she exclaimed all of a sudden, catching Adrian by surprise, “I should have expected you to be calm but this is too much silence! Talk to me like any other guy would.”
“You have a party to attend.” Adrian said after he recovered from the sudden scare, making Letty glare at him.
“Change of venues! Fuck the party, I don’t care anymore. Take me to the hotel.”
Adrian nodded and began driving but he couldn’t stop himself from worrying this time. She didn’t look like her normal self.
“Did something go wrong at your meetings?” he asked without looking at her.
Letty raised her eyebrow and turned to look at him.
“You finally asked something. So even you can’t help but be interested in a beauty like me, huh?”
Adrian glanced at her and couldn’t stop himself from shaking his head slightly.
‘She’s childish… and adorable. I thought all the rich ones were stuck up, serious, or calculating but I guess I was wrong.’

112. The Soft Sense Of Peace
Kenny shook his head, his face turning grim. "It’s worse than just greed, Adrian. Pavlov likes keeping things hidden. He loves the concept of fake scarcity. He actually has the cure for cancer in his hands right now, but he hasn't released it to help the world. He won't."Adrian tilted his head. "Why not?""Because he owns multiple other pharmaceutical companies," Kenny explained. "Those companies make billions by selling pills and medicines that only treat the symptoms. They help a little, but they never fix the problem. If he released the cure, his other businesses would die. So, he keeps the real miracle for himself and sells the world a slow fix."Adrian nodded slowly. "Even though he has the things that can help humanity, he’s keeping them to himself and is using them as a way to make even more money. That logic is flawed, but it’s not like we can change his mind with words."The room went silent for a moment as Adrian looked at the amber liquid in his glass. He didn't care for t
111. Pavlov Vance
One week had passed since the fire at the mansion. During that time, Adrian and Kenny had both played their parts in the silence, disappearing into the background of a city that was currently reeling from the sudden vacuum in the underworld.Adrian hadn't touched the situation directly, but he didn't leave things to chance. He had reached out to Mark, using the hacker’s skills to scrub every digital trace of that night. Every frame of footage from the docks, the street cameras near the car incident, and the security feeds from Kenny’s factory was purged. As far as the official record was concerned, those events were ghosts.Back in the present, Adrian walked through the lobby of a quiet, mid-range hotel. He moved with his usual lack of presence, drawing no eyes as he headed straight for the third floor. He reached room 306 and gave a sharp, rhythmic knock.The door opened almost immediately. Kenny stood there, looking much better than he had in the basement, though a few fading yellow
110. Raid At Evan's Mansion 2
He dropped the empty, smoking pistols onto the floor. He began walking toward the main door where Evan was hiding. He knew he hadn't killed every single person in the mansion yet, but he also knew there was no need to hunt them down one by one.They were injured and they had no choice but to wait for him to take care of his real target first.Adrian stood before the intricate wooden door that led to Evan’s private quarters. He didn't bother kicking it down; he wanted control, not noise. He pulled out his lockpicking set, his fingers moving with a dexterity that felt supernatural. In less than two seconds, the tumblers clicked into place. He cracked the door open just a few inches, not enough for a man to see through, but just enough to toss in two more smoke grenades.The reaction from inside was instantaneous. Panic-stricken shouts were followed by the deafening roar of gunfire. Bullets shredded the wood of the door from the inside, splinters flying like shrapnel into the hallway. Ad
109. Raid At Evan's Mansion
Adrian stood at the base of the final staircase. He looked at Kenny and tilted his head toward the exit. "Go outside and just wait for me. Use that shotgun if anyone tries to get close, but stay out of the house," he said. His voice was calm, which seemed to bother Kenny even more than the violence, but he nodded and started moving toward the backyard.Once Kenny was out, Adrian turned his attention to the stairs. He walked up the first flight casually. He knew from his system screens that the middle floor was empty. Evan had pulled every warm body he had to the topmost floor to create a human shield. As Adrian reached the landing, his posture changed. He became a ghost, his weight shifting so perfectly that the floorboards didn't even creak.He reached the bend in the stairs and slowed down. He kept his gaze angled up, scanning the railing. He was right to be cautious. A guard was standing at the very top of the steps, clutching a handgun with white knuckles. The man was sweating, hi
108. I Want To Be Your Friend
Adrian sat down on the chair opposite to Kenny, his movements slow and deliberate. He remained silent for a few seconds, letting the weight of the situation settle between them, before he lifted two fingers."Two options for you. Or should I say, two offers," Adrian said. "One, I kill you along with Evan and wash my hands of this whole mess. Two, Evan dies and you come out alive, but you work under me."Kenny did not answer right away. He let out a painful chuckle, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe. He coughed again, his face twisting into a deep frown as the movement jarred his broken ribs. He looked up at Adrian, his eyes searching the younger man’s face."All this because your friend got beaten up?" Kenny asked, his voice rasping."Why not?" Adrian asked back, his expression unreadable. "In fact, I will go deeper. There are people above you, aren't there?"Kenny’s gaze sharpened at those words, and he let out a long, heavy sigh. "Indeed. So you knew. I had a doubt that L
107. It Really Was You
He moved silently, circling the perimeter of the mansion while using the thick trees as cover. He kept his movements slow and deliberate, ensuring he stayed out of the reach of the security lights. Once he reached the far side of the estate, he opened his system screen to check the feed from the camera following Evan.The sight on the screen made him pause. Kenny was tied tightly to a wooden chair in the center of a cold, concrete room. He had been beaten badly. Dark bruises covered his face and his shirt was torn, revealing more purple welts across his chest and arms. He looked exhausted, his head hanging low as he struggled with the pain.Adrian made the camera screen disappear and quickly opened the system shop. He began to scroll through the long list of available skills and items, looking for something specific."I need something that makes me invisible," he thought as he swiped through the options.He found several stealth related skills, but none of them reached the level of tr
