2026-06-19 14:12:17"Wait where will I sleep?" Daniel came to a sharp halt. He had been walking under the hot sun for hours, believing he knew where he was going.
But looking at it now, he didn't know.
He had just remembered Victor threw him out of his apartment which meant he had no home to go to, unless.
Daniel checked out his profile.
[ — Host Status — ]
[ Daniel Hayes ]
[ Age : 19 ]
[ Wealth : $20,024,517.38 ]
[ Rank : F (Heir) ]
[ Title : N/Q ]

"I have about twenty thousand dollars. I should be able to buy myself a new apartment if not a house." Daniel smirked to himself as he proceeded to move around coast city.
Although,
Daniel hadn't gone far when a message probe in front of him..
[ Ding! ]
[ — Legacy System Task — ]
[ The host must spend out of wealth under any circumstances. Host should secure a spot to sleep tonight before 12 past midnight. ]
[ Penalty : Loss of wealth — $ 20, 024, 517.38 ]
[ Time : Till 12 Past Midnight ]
Daniel's knees almost buckled, the legacy system and yet again threatened him with another valuable he didn't want to lose.
"But where do I sleep?" The troubling question hung in the air. "He couldn't obviously go back to the apartment he was thrown out of, yet alone the Hayes family mansion itself."
It was too obvious, Daniel had no where to go and the system was busy playing mind games with him.
Meanwhile...
At the Ferguson Tower.
The Ferguson tower is amongst Coast City's top finest state of art. When it comes down to height at magnificence, the Ferguson tower had it all.
One would think the Ferguson tower was the ultimate predator of coastcity at that point.
Inside, on the 42th floor of the tower, three powerful men sat and drank around a glass table.
Men who could bring down an entire building with just a phone call. Each and everyone of them were A Rank Grandmasters.
In Coast City, there's a normal ranking system for all individuals.
E Rank — Novice : Ordinary individuals just entering society's power structure.
D Rank — Skilled : Professionals with influence in a city or industry.
C Rank — Elite : Recognized figures with wealth, status, or exceptional talent.
B Rank — Master : Individuals capable of influencing an entire region.
A Rank — Grandmaster : Leaders of major corporations, organizations, and powerful families
Do other ranks exist?
Yes, maybe.
Are they dangerous?
Yes, maybe not.
Can it be listed out?
No, might never even be talked about.
The remaining ranks remain classified.
The Three Grandmasters in the room were the head of Coast City's most powerful families.
The Ferguson Family,
The Kingmaker Family,
The Frost Family.
James Ferguson, The Ferguson patriarch, Aurora's father. Silver haired with white beards. Had the eyes of an eagle. He pictured the man who'd move mountains just to keep his empire standing tall. Merely in his sixties and he was strong and durable as ever to take on anything that brought discomfort to his family.
Across sat the blue eyed Marcus Kingsmaker, the one who quoted "Every man's success begins with his downfall. " An hotel magnate, if you checked his phone, you'd see several organisations pleading to work with him. By his side, Jerry Frost, the rumored king of exploiting the weakness of Organizations below the three families.
No Organization whatsoever is safe from Jerry Frost.
These three men together ruled coast city and could reshape it if they desired. James poured himself an expensive wine and drank like there was no tomorrow.
"An incredulous blast I must say!" James cheered, his voice as thick as the gods. You would mistake him for Thor Odinson if you stared at his greek god physique for too long.
Marcus nodded, leaning back on his chair as he sipped from his glass cup. "It was indeed an Incredulous blast James but have you seen the news about coast city hospital?"
James who seemed so devoted to the wine bottle that he didn't take his of the glass he was pouring wine into. "The one at Firstgate? Doctor Hamilton's?"
"Yes." Marcus confirmed. "Last I heard, dear aurora wanted to tear down that place so badly since Hamilton owed her a lot."
"I remember." He stopped pouring and prepared to down the whole cup.
"But today, someone bought it and I am not sure if it's Aurora. She was eager to demolish the hospital and build a new luxury hotel there and earn profit."
Jerry raised a brow. "Are you being serious now Marcus, where do you get your information from?"
"While you two made women moan your names, I watched the news. The news reporter said a young man had walked into a heated confrontation between Doctor Hamilton and the Third richest woman in the city; Aurora Ferguson. Further information revealed she was paid what she owed and so were the rest of the men that Hamilton owed."
James finally took his eyes off the glass cups. "What?!"
"Your daughter got beaten in her own game James," Marcus pointed out. "Only the heavens know how she's feeling now."
James checked his phone. The moment he turned it on, a series of notifications popped in. The only thing that seized his attention was;
[ — 30 missed calls from my little Ferguson princess — ] He exhaled a sigh of exasperation and said,
"Apparently she tried to reach out to me." James then set his phone down. "Unfortunately I was too busy."
Marcus rolled his eyes back as he relaxed his back. "All in all, I want to know who the mysterious young latter is."
Ding!
The elevator doors burst open. Shocking the three men in the room.
Standing by the doorway like a hurricane in human form was none other Aurora Ferguson
They all got up instinctively, her hair framed her like a mad woman, her make up, in all her years, Aurora never looked awful and her eyes, god her eyes burned with rage, she wanted to rip something apart. The fury in her eyes, even the three grandmasters seemed intimidated but refused to show it.
There was only one person responsible for making her look like this. Only one boy and he has a legacy system.
Daniel Hayes.

The night was the best night both Daniel and Theresa had ever had, it was so wild and intense that Theresa could not believe that a skinny man like him could make her entire world go wild like this.She did not want to get up from bed the next day, because her entire body still felt so relaxed after what happened last night."Good morning," he muttered in a husky voice around her while placing kisses around her lips, neck, and cheekbone.Theresa could not take the sensation that she was getting and burst into laughter. Yet it did not stop him as he continued to place kisses around every part of her body that he could come across.And for the first time, Theresa felt so much excited more than she had ever been before, because to her, this was exactly what her marriage should have felt like all this while."How is your day going today?" She asked after a while, her head now resting on his chest."I will be going for an auction today""An auction, I didn't know that you were interested

Growing up, Daniel had watched his parents on countless occasions arguing about things that did not make sense.And even when he had agreed to marry Theresa when there was no love involved, he had told himself that he would never argue with her, he would try as much as possible to avoid it.But right now, staring at her with the intense fury in her eyes, it was difficult for him not to admit to the fact that there was no way that he would avoid this argument tonight."Tell me, Daniel," Theresa had continued, the color had drained from her face, it seemed almost like this was an anger she had been holding in for a very long time."Is it because you were forced into this marriage, is that why you keep everything a secret from me, tell me, do you plan on divorcing me soon, or perhaps you already have another woman?"She asked, and even with the fury inside of him, he could not help but let out a sigh and chuckle."You are the one that went on a date with another man and came back home la

After the dinner with Viktor, he had offered to drive her back home, and on the way back home, Theresa had her head in a lot of places, thinking about so many things at a time.With everything Viktor had told her, now she was truly starting to wonder if indeed Daniel truly cared about her like she thought.Although he had helped her with the situation with her company, yet he had kept everything about himself a secret, to the extent where she had to hire a private investigator to find out about her husband.And not to mention the fact that even with all the money he has, he has no plans of helping her company, and would prefer to see her suffer instead.No matter how badly she wanted to take the thoughts away from her head, yet they kept sinking back again and again."So this is the famous Blackwell estate?" Viktor muttered as soon as the car came to a halt in front of her gate, and his words were the only thing that made her realize she was now at home, so lost in her thoughts had sh

Lisa sat in her cell, thinking about her life and how she was going to leave this place.She had not set her eyes on her husband and wasn't even sure if he was truly here at all.But yet, she believed that there was no way someone wouldn't come looking for her. She had a daughter and a son, so definitely someone had to come looking.Just then, a lady who seemed to be in the same cell with her walked past her. Lisa had tried to ignore all three ladies since she came in.But the lady stepped right on her arm, pressing so hard that Lisa coiled in pain. As soon as the lady pulled away from her, she wasted no time and rose to her feet."Have you lost your mind!" she yelled at the top of her voice, thinking that this was probably the time to take out the anger on someone else."Did you just speak to me?" The lady who was popularly known as Mia around there asked while staring at the others.The other two ladies sat upright immediately, as if they were ready to watch a particular kind of dra

After work that day, Theresa was about to head back home, but just as she stepped out of the parking lot, she noticed a figure standing there, as clearly he had been waiting for her."Ms. Blackwell," he called in a very soft tone, one that seemed capable of sweeping any lady off her feet.Theresa finally looked up as she realized that it was Mr. Viktor, the same man who wanted to invest in her company."What are you doing here?" She asked with a flicker of surprise."Isn't that obvious, I have been waiting for you, please don't tell me you totally forgot about the dinner we were supposed to have today?""Oh that, but I don't think I agreed""Please don't do that now, I already booked a reservation, and as much as money isn't a problem, it cost me quite a lot"He continued to speak in his very soft tone while he collected her bag and started heading towards his car.Theresa stood there like she was lost in her thoughts while staring at him, knowing fully well that she had not informed

After Theresa's request regarding a baby, Daniel had been so stunned, that was something he had not expected and didn't know how to reply to, and because of that, he had not given her a response.Yet, Theresa did not press him for an answer, hoping that once he was ready he would say something, because for her, she had truly fallen in love with him and was hoping that the marriage would be turned into a real one."Good morning!" Theresa had greeted as soon as she came downstairs after their conversation that day, because he had not spent the night in the same room with her the way they had been doing lately.And Daniel was hoping that he would leave the house very quietly before she woke up, but Theresa was disturbed by the situation and couldn't sleep, which was why she had also woken up early."I recently acquired Hayes Corporation and would be going over for some meetings with the board""I know," she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper, and she had already started moving to
