"Mr Watson, it's so nice to have finally met you. Oak house has been running without it's leader for a long time." One of oak house's executives spoke fawningly.

"Please keep my identity a secret, I'm a high profile man, I hate to draw attention to myself. Continue to run oak house like you have been this whole time." Jake said to the executive.

"Yes Mr Watson."

Mysterious highest share holder of oak house. The person supposed to occupy the position of CEO?

How was this possible?

Those were Ron's thoughts thirty minutes later as he watched Jake come out of a meeting room with some oak house investors.

When Jake almost reached where Ron stood he felt his knees tremble slightly.

No, this couldn't be true.

He'd seen Jake working as Kylie James' secretary, how could he be the CEO?

Cold fear trickled into Ron's heart, had he offended a giant he shouldn't have offended?

"Did you hear what just happened? A con artist was caught stealing the identity of some tycoon, he lived as that billionaire for three months before he was caught. This is too scary." Some women were talking to each other and they passed Ron.

His eyes lit up with realization.

So this was a case of fraud.

It was absolutely impossible for a secretary to become a CEO overnight.

Ron's face lit up in a devious smirk.

'I will definitely expose you.'

What Jake didn't know yet was the fact that having mercy and sparing enemies meant they could get to stab you in the back when you least expect it.

-Goodnight Mr Watson, I hope you sleep well.-

Jake received this text from Anita later that night.

Earlier she'd looked at him with pure disbelief, her eyes were wide and incredulous. When she'd asked him how it was possible for him to be the biggest share holder of oak house, he'd only told her that he'd been buying and accumulating the shares while secretly working at the lowest position to observe. And he further asked her to keep it a secret.

He knew from reading webtoons that letting the world see your biggest ace was the key to attracting higher enemies. Jake wanted to live peacefully and enjoy a stress free life.

When he'd finished getting dressed for the party, Jake had received a notification from his phone.

*Ding! Car upgrade activated.*

Jake didn't understand what that meant until he reached the parking lot of the hotel and found a Toyota Highlander in place of his Mazda, he had been totally shocked.

That was the moment it fully registered into his brain that he'd gotten a system on his phone, just like the main characters in the webtoons he used to read whenever he was bored at work.

After having a luxurious breakfast at La Grande hotel's five star restaurant, Jake was sent another notification.

*Ding! Daily task: Spend five million dollars in one hour.*

*Note: During this one hour, user will be awarded with the unlimited card to spend in order meet with the daily quota.*

*Side cheat awarded: User can request anything during the next hour.*

Jake instantly sat up, his eyes wide with excitement. He felt something suddenly appear inside his pocket and when he pulled it out, he found a silver card with the infinity sign on it.

"I have an hour to spend five million dollars?" Jake felt beyond excited.

He immediately jumped up and zoomed away in his car.

"Since I have this opportunity, I should do something I've always been meaning to do."

Everyone has plans and desires, but life tends to put down our plans and reality dampens those wishes, Jake was also like that. When he was a teen he used to have a lot of wishes, but when life snatched the opportunity to fulfill those wishes from him as he began to work a nine to five, he had to close his eyes to those things he wished to achieve in life, but now it seemed his story had finally changed.

He drove into Magneticum, the largest clubhouse in Eastside.

Magneticum was special in the sense that it offered an experience of pure luxury. No just anyone could access it but premium members, and these members are said to have paid huge amounts of money, but their members were said to enjoy the treatment of a monarch on a daily basis. Basically, if one wanted to feel like a king, then spending time at Magneticum could give one that experience.

"Hello, I'd like to purchase a membership please." Jake said at the reception.

The receptionist looked up at Jake and forced a smile. He didn't look like their usual members they received here. She felt strange having to be polite to this type of customer however their policy bound them to being kind, so she replied.

"Sure sir, may I see your ID?"

Jake retrieved his card and gave it to her, he almost thought he saw a sneer hang on the side of her lips, but it faded away before he could even register it.

'How annoying, these days anyone thinks they can come into Magneticum.' She thought but said instead.

"I'm sorry sir, your occupation does not permit me to give you any access into Magneticum. According to average stats, your earnings are below what our average customers pay, so please I'll have to ask you to leave." Though she had a smile on her face, it was evident she looked down on him.

Jake smiled and shook his head, "You seem to have concluded my bank balance by your words."

"A person's bank balance tends to show on their appearance sir." She looked at him from head to toe with disgust.

Jake looked down at himself. What was wrong with wearing comfortable clothes? Did he have to dress in luxury brands before he could be taken seriously?

"Alright, since you've made this conclusion, I won't bother you anymore."

Just as Jake turned to leave, a familiar man dressed in proud limited edition pieces walked into the revolving doors of Magneticum. Beside him, a beautiful woman with an enviable figure held onto his arm.

Jake hadn't seen Diana ever since she left and gave him divorce papers which he'd already signed by now. Seeing her walk in with Barry right now, he felt nothing but emptiness.

One could love someone with all their heart, but once all that love is gone, nothing is left but an empty heart and regret.

Jake had busted his ass day and night working to give Diana everything she wanted in the past, now he would make sure he sees regret in her eyes. This was a game he would definitely enjoy playing.

"Yo! Do street rats also come to Magneticum? What are you here to do, clean the dirt from our shoes?" Barry mocked laughingly. The receptionist was very enthusiastic in receiving Barry and Diana after she had totally put down Jake just now.

"My fiance and I would like a private room please, we specifically want it to be a luxury suite with an infinity edge pool, we would also like a set of staffs assigned to us to be at our beck and call, I'll pay an extra bonus if this guy here will be given as our errand boy for the day."

The membership of Magneticum was fixed, however one could pay extra to get special treatment. Every Magneticum member was treated like a king, with the exception of the VIP members who could dominate the entirety of Magneticum if they wanted to. There were only three VIP membership slots and two were already taken, the cost of it was never revealed to anyone not even ordinary members but it was rumored to cost from eight hundred thousand to a million dollars.

People like Barry couldn't afford to casually take out a million just to buy a membership, it would drain a large percentage of their pockets.

The receptionist was excited at the thought of extra bonus, she turned to Jake and called him hurriedly.

"Hey there, judging from your salary you must need an extra gig right? Come work as an errand boy for this couple today, Magneticum will pay you a rate of $60 per hour." It was already a generous amount for someone of Jake's status, the receptionist was sure he wouldn't refuse.

Jake however, was busy on his phone.

Diana looked at him and rolled her eyes. 'Wasn't he ashamed of bringing out this old model phone In public, just because he'd wrapped it up in a golden colored phone case doesn't make it any special. His phone was so outdated even people from ten years ago wouldn't use it.'

Barry was waiting for him to rush forward and agree to be their errand boy, he was already planning how he would use him to exhaustion.

"Hey, this opportunity is only going to come once. I'll advise you to grab it while it's lasts." The receptionist reminded and Jake finally raised his head from his phone.

"I'd like the biggest Magneticum suite, with two large pools and a Jacuzzi, I want a full staff of five star chefs assigned to me for an unforgettable dining experience, the suite must come with a high technology gaming room for me to pass the time. I'll pay double amount of extra fees to kick these two out, they're annoying and noisy."

    When Jake didn't quickly reply. Kylie narrowed her eyes in suspicion."Why are you dressed like that? You're even hiding your face. Don't tell me you're here to steal from this company." The more Kylie thought about it, the more certain she became about this conjecture.Jake was here to steal and sabotage the company he was fired from. It made absolute sense, but it was a good thing she had a sharp perception and quickly recognized him.Looking Jake from head to toe, a faint regret flashed in Kylie's heart. This guy might be a poor idiot, but he had looks that could rival a celebrity. She had done everything known to her about seduction to capture his attention but she'd failed terribly.It was really too bad. Kylie clicked her tongue in regret before an idea formed in her mind. Her eyes suddenly lit up."Look, I'm not as heartless as you think I am. I fired you before because you were being too difficult." She began to touch his arm again making sure her intentions showed in her eye

    The sales person didn't care, he gave Jake two tickets and swiped his card to pay.Lucky and Sam couldn't help but lean over and look over Jake's shoulder as he began to scratch the cards. They attentively looked at the set of numbers with him."...5, 11, 22..." Lucky mouthed the last number written on the card Jake just scratched. It was the exact same ones with the numbers on the lottery board just drawn a few hours ago. This had never happened before.Silence!"Did I win?" Jake showed his ticket to the sales person whose eyes lit up with surprise. He stared at Jake for a long time as if trying to find the words but couldn't before he finally exclaimed."No one has won a dime in months, you...you actually." He continued to look at the board and the numbers Jake received In awe.'So the peak luck thing actually works.' Jake thought."So what's the prize for this draw?" "It's a jackpot! A fucking jackpot of ten million dollars!" This exclamation caused many people to turn and look,

    Jake glanced down at the girl and slowly pulled his leg away from her clutch. "Sorry, but this is none of my business." He had no intentions of getting involved in something that didn't concern him at all. The guys laughed and mocked at him from behind but he was too eager to drive his new car. However something suddenly came flying and landed on the side of his car. "Splash!" Glass broke and alcohol spilled all over his new car. Jake frowned deeply but the guys behind laughed thunderously before one of them spat. "Loser, get the fuck out of here unless you want to watch a fucking orgy." They laughed again and began to pull the girl one after another. Jake swiftly turned around and approached their side. "You stained my car, I'll need you to wipe it off." Jake said calmly to the man who'd thrown a glass of wine at his car. The man however blew out smoke to Jake's face. "Your car? It's just a cheap BMW. It's nothing special." They looked like second generation rich

    In an instant, the servers of Realm exploded with comments. "Who is this player? I've never heard of him before." "Did he get all that money from completing missions or is he just a rich guy using real money to buy stuff in the game?" "Are you kidding? Is there anyone who would use that much money to buy things in a game? He could be one of the top rankers who earn a lot of in-game coins." This conversation led people to quickly check Jake's in game ranking but they ended up disappointed. "What? He's the Lowest ranking gamer in his server, that means... he's using real money!" "What kind of monster must he he to be able to spend so much in a game? Only Dare-devil has done that so far." "Wow, does this guy have a guild? I'd like to join. I don't care if he has zero gaming skills, with that equipment, we can take over the whole server." "Who are you to even try that? My guild is one of the most well known in this server, I'm going to poach this guy. If anyone stands in

    Diana and Barry looked at each other and suddenly began to laugh, they were like two people watching a comedy unfold before their eyes."What does this loser think of himself? Do you think you're a king or something? The kind of suite you just asked for is only reserved for the VIP members. If you're trying to make money from comedy, go do it on the streets you sick idiot!" Barry said as he finished laughing. The receptionist could no longer hold on to courtesy, she rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, you brought it upon yourself. Do you think you can just run your mouth to our members and go scot free? I'll call security to..."While she was talking, three men in distinguished business suits walked over, they had an air of importance around them that would make one subconsciously step out of their way if one saw them passing by.The man in the front had a natural frown on his face as he came to the front of desk, the receptionist quickly composed herself and bowed.
