Nicloas could feel his heart racing on his chest as Samson stormed by with the baton in his hands while he hid himself beside the building, just as pre informed by the strange voice in his head.
'Could this be real?' His thoughts were wild with a wide range of possibilities
[ Stage one punishment for doubting system completed ]
[ Phase two of this task has begun. 10, 000,000 dollars must be spent within the next 6 hours.
[ Punishment for failed task after delay: Death]
Nicolas out from his chest. He tried to talk back to the system but he would not talk back to him.
"Oh no. I'm dead. I thought this stuff was only a voice in my head. How do I spend such an amount of money within such a short time?"
"Gulp, a large lump went down his throat."
8 HOURS EARLIER..... Loading....
"A pack of Condoms?" Nicola, a young boy dressed in plain white clothes that could only pass for that of a delivery guy, swept his eyes through the details of the delivery in his hands.
And what's more, there was shisha, pipes, and a lot of other stuff.
'Guess someone's having a big party.'
It had become a wild ritual these days when two people wanted to announce that they were publicly dating, they usually go on wild celebrations.
And from the address that was written on it, he could tell that this party was taking place on campus.
But that was the least of his problems now. That was the last delivery for the day before he was going to get his pay.
As he rose, the ring in his pocket made a clicking sound, bringing back words of his sister streaming through his head.
"You don't have to worry about me. I will be fine, pretty son. Just get the perfect ring for your finances."
Ever since he got the scholarship to study at the most successful business school in the whole country, met only a privileged few, she has always been the one that had been taking care of him.
'But now that she is sick.'
It was his turn to take up the responsibility. But even with her sickness, she was still worried about his relationship with Clara.
They are the only two people in his life who have supported him. He could still feel the ring that he just got in his pocket with a smile sweeping through his face.
'Spending my life with you is the greatest decision that I have ever made."
"Don't worry sis. Got the ring. Just wanted to give you a surprise. Next, your bill." He sighed once again.
From a distance, he could feel the breathtaking event gallery and he pulled to a halt at the parking lot.
Blue lights flooded the hall and he could hear screams of rising pleasure from within.
His eyes skimmed through the address once again and just to affirm that he was in the right place.
"Yeah, this is it." He said to himself.
Nicola's hands clutched around the package as he nosed his way through the hall. There was a security officer at the gate and he was directed to whom he was supposed to deliver the package.
He recognized the boy at the far end of the hall. Masculine in nature with gap teeth. The assistant of the leader of the F4 in a school, everyone's crush of course, and the son of a billionaire plus senator.
"Hey." He greeted getting over to him.
Alex skimmed around slowly and shot a smirk at him. "Look at the garbage that we have gotten here. What are you doing here? Do you see any of your broke types here?" There was a trace of anger in his voice just at the sight of Nicolas.
Ignoring him because he was already used to that.
"I came to deliver this." He noted handing it over to him and sweeping his eyes through the hall.
"Hey broke ass, don't fix your eyes on things that you cannot afford and will never be able to. You should get going already. You don't want to suffocate everyone here with your stink. And I mean without another second of delay." He spat out from the floor.
Even though he was already used to these types of tones, there was something really strange about this that he could not lay his hands on.
It was kind of hasty and he was not steady. With a tint of anxiety which was so unlike him.
But there was nothing that he had to do there anyway and it was already time for him to get going.
"You don't have to tell me to leave."
"Good thing you still recognize your class." He growled.
Nicola's feet swayed around to leave but they pulled a swift stop at a sound that struck him right in the chest like a fleeing dagger.
"Where is that God damn delivery man already? I haven't had enough of your dick already. You are so hot." He heard someone gasping and moaning at the same time.
Even amid a thousand crowds, he could certainly recognize that voice anywhere.
CLARA'S.
'Could it be that he was mistaken?'
Besides, that voice was not that unique to her. He might just be stressed and the Clara that he knew would never be in such a gathering muttering such words from her mouth.
"I think that I should get going already." He wanted to get going.
He trusted Clara so much that he didn't feel like such a thing could happen.
But for the first time, there was 1% doubt left on his mind and that was something that he wanted to clear off.
"Just for confirmation and nothing other than that." He assured himself turning around gradually.
But his heart almost shot out from his chest, his face pale at the sight of what he saw.
He was taken aback, and after a while, frozen in shock, still trying hard to comprehend what was before him.
It was the school billionaire prince, sweaty with only his brief on, revealing his bulge and there she was, his Clara gasping for breath like someone had just finished a race.
The walls that encircled his world seemed to crumble and his gaze pierced through her.
His shock soon melted into stalk anger, clutching his hands tightly until it made a cracking sound, he advanced towards Kelly with a hateful glare hanging on his face.
"You fool?" Nicola's hands caught hold of his shirt while everyone in the room kicked toward him angrily as he threw a pouch in his direction.
"Hey broke ass, who even allowed you here. He is half drunk."
Clara stormed over to them immediately, pulling him away from Prince's body immediately even before anyone else could
"You fool, what do you think that you are trying to do?" The shocking Words rang in his head followed by the loud bang of laughter
At this, a few people pulled out their cell phones from their pockets to take a video of the epic event that was going to happen.
Nicola's eyes pulled swiftly turned towards him and he was taken aback with so much shock.
"What did you just say?" For him, he could only have heard wrong.
"You fool. Are you deaf or something, leave my boyfriend only." The words crashed him down like a heavyweight.
"Your boyfriend? You are cheating on me? And you dare to spit it on my face? When we agreed to get married just after I graduated?" His heart was torn apart into a thousand shreds.
"Yeah, you heard that. Apart from the fact that you are God damn poor, you are still deaf? Two disabilities at a time? You are one unlucky folk ain't you." Kelly sneered but he was ignored by Nicolas who focused all his attention on Clara.
"And this, you said that your virginity was going to be a sign of our love right? Then what are you doing here?"
"Can you stop being so delusional already? I gave it out to him like three years ago" She Spat out.
Puff….
The words were like another loud bang that pulled his eyes off his eyes socket
'Three years? So all this while I have been leaving a lie and nothing other than that?'
"You lied to me Clara, all these years. You made me believe that you love me and even yesterday, you reminded me that we are getting married."
Brought out the ring from his pocket.
"It's still hard to believe. What had he promised you? Money, Fame, what else? All those material things. Are they more to you than the love that we share?" His eyes were teary and his voice was broken.
Walking over to him, her hands surveyed the Outlines of his finely cut face.
"I must say that I was caught by this face of yours back at high but that was when I was naive and stupid. How long did you think that I was going to put up with such a broke dumbass like you?" She frowned.
"Are you really expecting me to take a liability to my parents!"
She pulled away from him immediately and walked towards Kelly.
"Here he is, the love of my life." She laughed.
She brought out a card from the table and When he surveyed it, it was an invitation for her engagement, on the same day that they were supposed to get married.
His jaws fell apart with so much shock while she continued to stare at her.
"You can't do this to me. Not after the moments that we have shared. You are blinded. Don't let him fool you with his wealth. Everyone knows him."
"Just the same way that everyone knows you right? For being a broke ass. I was blind all this while. This is the time that I can see." He replied.
"Where is the pack of CDs? Let's go, Kelly, don't want anything to do with him."
Nicola watched as they walked away from him and at some point, he could no longer take it
He advanced towards Kelly and pouched him hard on the face.
His anger blew up without any form of restrictions and he advanced angrily towards him with so much hate and anger.
"You fool, how dare you." He growled at Nicola's.
Soon, he was gathered by his thug friends and they took turns slapping him on the face until his eyes shot up from his eye socket.
His already half dead cell phone took away from him and smashed her to the ground.
Soon the door to the place parted open and he sensed a familiar aura walking into the place.
It was that of his sister. She advanced quickly towards him knowing well that at that rate, he was certainly going to die.
She has gotten the video that was uploaded online and rushed down quickly to prevent his brother from an outburst.
"Please don't hurt him, please." She pleaded with tears already flooding down from her eyes.
"You fool. You are just like him. Get off the way right this instant or I am certainly going to make you pay just like him." Kelly sneered.
But she would not listen to even a single word that he had to say. She spread her hands far apart as a guard for him.
Angrily, Kelly caught her by her hands, flinging her off from his far.
With his bleeding face, a shill cry escaped his mouth and he ran towards him knowing that due to her condition, she had certainly passed out.
"But before he could make his way towards her, he felt a large pain in his head and he passed out.
[Ding..] A sound from a distance resounded in his head like a ringing bell vibrating through his ears.
He growled, getting up from his position. He was in a strange place and after looking at it closely, he noticed that it was the school's teaching hospital
He could still feel the vibrating sound in his head making him clutch hard to his head.
"What sort of a headache is this'
And when he thought that it was going to stop, it seemed it had just begun.

Just then, a screen that only he could see appeared right before him and his heart was racing fast.
"What the heck is going on here?" He half yelled.
Random thoughts ran through his mind as his eyes were transfixed on the screen that was sitting right before him
[ Hostname: Nicolas Andrews
[Body: 10 % weak
[Mind: 34%: Normal
[Accumulated points are normal.
[Skills: Host needs points to build wealth and double initial starting rate

"A private investor forum. Members only, reasonably vetted, but not airtight." A pause. "A photograph has been circulating."Nicholas said nothing."The back of someone's head," Agnes said.

"Because it has been sitting on me for a few days and I did not want you thinking it was a crisis.""It is not a crisis," Nicholas said."No," Mikey said."Go ahead," Nicholas said.Mikey had been talking to people.Not in an official capacity.Not as Mr. K's operations manager or as the property manager of the 5B block.Just as Mikey.As someone who had grown up in the neighborhood and had come back to it and was now operating inside it in a way that gave him access to the kind of conversations that did not happen in formal contexts.Conversations at the mark

Chapter 124The documents arrived on a Sunday.Nicholas was at his desk working through the post-finals gap in the way he had decided to use it, not as rest exactly, more as the kind of slow productive quiet that came after sustained pressure released.He was reading ahead on next semester's Business Strategy syllabus.Not because he had to.Because it was the kind of thing that felt right in a quiet Sunday with no immediate deadline attached to it.His phone buzzed.Harrison.Not a call.A message.Some documents coming through to your email.

Chapter 123She had set the table.That was the first thing Nicholas noticed when he came through the door.Not just food on the counter, not plates pulled out at the last minute.The table was actually set.Two placemats.The good glasses she had found in the apartment when she moved in and had kept on the shelf above the sink without using until now.A small thing in the center of the table that was not quite a centerpiece but was clearly placed with intention, a candle she had not lit and a few sprigs of something green he could not name.Rebecca was at the stove with her back to him."You set the table," he said."Obviously I set the table," she said without turning around. "I am hosting.""You do not usually set the table.""I am choosing to set the table tonight," she said. "Sit down."He sat down.The food was good.He had not been certain it would be.Not because Rebecca could not cook.She had been getting steadily better across the Wednesday lessons, picking things up quickl

Chapter 122He was halfway back to the hostel when it came.Not at his desk.Not in the quiet of the room before David woke up.On the footpath between the business faculty building and the main path that ran through the center of campus, students moving around him in both directions, bags on shoulders, the particular noise of a corridor of people who had just finished something and were releasing the held breath of it.The colors bled in at the edges of his vision the way they always did.He kept walking for a few steps.Then he stopped.TASK 6: COMPLETEK Foundation - Verified.

Chapter 121The first exam was Monday morning.Financial Accounting.Nicholas was in his seat twelve minutes before the room opened.Not because he was anxious.Because arriving early was part of the fixed block structure he had built and he had decided in October that the structure was not negotiable and he had kept that decision.He sat outside the exam room on the bench in the corridor and did not review his notes.He had reviewed them the night before in the final study block.What was there was there.Looking at it again now would not add anything.He sat and watched the other students arrive and did not think about anything in particular.The paper was distributed at nine.Nicholas read through it once before picking up his pen.That was something Beckham had told the class in the first week of semester.Read the whole paper before you answer anything.Know what you are dealing with before you commit.Nicholas had done it at every exam since.He read through.He picked up his pe
