Chapter 157: Golden Fingers
Gray kept looking through his monitor, half-refreshing the VaultFox app every few minutes. Since he saw it in the morning, he hadn't taken his eyes off it. The dip had slowed throughout the day. Then, slowly but surely, Solarbyte began to climb again. For the thousandth time that day, Gray glanced at the live chart. The value was now inching above $51. A quiet breath escaped his nose. His shoulders eased slightly. "That's it... just a little more..."And then...[Ding!]A familiar, satisfying chime rang out in his ears. Gray's phone vibrated softly in his hand, and at the same time, a holographic window appeared right before his eyes.[Mission Complete!][Total Wealth Reached: $100,312.24][+1 Influence gained.][+1 Power gained.][You have been granted Golden Fingers.][Golden Fingers (Passive)—A rare investor-type skill that enhances all future investments for the Host.

Chapter 156: Just A Little Bit More
Gray stared at the headline on his screen.[BREAKING: SOLARBYTE Skyrockets After Major Corporate Announcement—Value Surges 210% Overnight]His heart skipped a beat."What the..." he muttered again, this time louder than the last. His hand darted to his phone, unlocking it almost by instinct as he launched the VaultFox app quickly. The moment it opened, the numbers nearly slapped him across the face. SOLARBYTE (SBT): $50.29 per coin 802.47 coins × $50.29 = $40,356.87 His eyes widened. "Wait, wait. Hold on..." he whispered, his fingers moving quickly as he tapped over to the full balance overview. Wallet Total: $40,356.87 (SBT) + $4,130 (NX) Total Portfolio Value: $44,486.87 The Neox lost some of its value, but Solarbyte... Gray froze again. He could feel his body going completely still as he stared at the numbers. "Holy crap. I can't believe this." He blinked again, leaning forward to double-check the numbers, as if the screen would change on a second glance. But it didn't.
Chapter 155: The Surge
The question lingered in Gray's mind even after a day.He didn't expect it to.It wasn't something he took seriously at the time. But now, while sitting alone in his office, he found himself replaying Elliot's words again and again."Have you ever thought about learning more?"Gray leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed as he stared blankly at the whiteboard across his desk.He wasn't interested in fashion.For him, all clothes were the same as long as they served their purpose. It didn't help that his closet was basically just shirts, plain jackets, jeans, and his formal wear for work.Aside from that, the industry itself sounded like a different world. Luxury, high-pressure, and filled with names and trends he couldn't keep track of.But still...He couldn't deny it.It hadn't felt bad being part of it yesterday. The discussion, the design talk, the way Elliot took his input seriously, even though he'd said he didn't know anything.It was weirdly satisfying."Maybe..." Gray
Chapter 154: Have You Ever Thought?
"I suppose you received the suit, Gray. It was not my creation, but I was the one who chose it after seeing your build."Gray was speechless.The answer to the long-awaited question of who gave him the suit was now finally answered.Selina blinked, stepping forward slightly."Wait. What do you mean you gave him a suit? My grandpa didn't tell me about that.""I just received a box with a suit inside. I don't know how long ago that was. I didn't know it came from your grandpa."Elliot raised a single brow."Ah. It was meant to be a secret. I didn't know about that. I apologize.""No, it's fine." Selina shook her head. Even she was surprised.She didn't know her grandpa had planned this far ahead."I can't believe he actually kept this from me..." Her jaw tightened slightly."Grandpa's always doing things behind people's backs, so I should've known."Gray chuckled under his breath. "Well, tell him thanks, I guess. That suit saved me more than once.""I'll be sure to scold him for not tel
Chapter 153: The Last Suit
After their introductions, Elliot snapped his fingers all of a sudden. The two assistants moved almost immediately. They rolled over a portable mirror while the other opened a sleek black case filled with measuring tools and sketchpads. "Let's start with you, Gray." Eliot turned to Gray. The corner of his lips rose to the side as he gave him a nod. "Take off your top." "..." Gray blinked. "Huh?" Did he just hear right? Gray quickly turned his head slightly toward Selina. "Did he just say take off my clothes?" Elliot didn't even give Selina the chance to say something. "Yes, please. We need the measurements as close as possible so it'd be a perfect fit." Gray squinted at him. When Selina noticed it, she stifled a laugh. "Don't worry. It's not everything, Gray. Just the top. It's really the process." He glanced at her, then at Elliot, then back at the assistants setting up. They didn't look fazed. "For some reason, this feels illegal," he muttered under his breath, just enou
Chapter 152: Elliot Rentz
"Make yourself comfortable."Selina glanced over at Gray and Lily as she led them into the living room. There was lightness in her step as she moved barefoot across the marble floor. Gray had expected the layout of her condo to be exactly like his. After all, they lived on the same floor of the same building. However, almost immediately, he noticed the difference. The floor plan was similar, but the interior... it was something else entirely. Her condo felt more luxurious, but in a subtle way. The cream-colored walls were accented with paintings. Some had scenery as the main theme, while others were more modern and abstract. Selina's furniture also looked custom. They were made out of more expensive wood, soft velvet, and leather materials that looked perfectly together. Aside from that, her appliances were top-tier brands. The ones in Gray's condo were already high-end, but Selina was just on another level. Gray couldn't help it. His brows lifted slightly. "Wow," he murmure
