He turned around, boom!

It was a lady he just saw, the restaurant manager Miss. Rhoda. She walked towards him with her skinny black skirt that uncovered her v- waist shape.

Scott heart felt a deep connection instantly 

But he kept it inside, pretending to be alright.

“How can I be of help to you Miss. Rhoda”

She took a deep breath and brought out a card presenting it to Scott 

“Please address me as Rhoda”

“Take this card, it's mostly given to top customers who purchased food above $5,000, but you bought food worth $10,000. With this green card, you can buy a share with the company if you're  interested and enjoy more benefits”

“Incase you need anything please contact the number on this other card”

Rhoda handed over another card to him. It was her contact number. Rhoda had already planned to speak with him and this was the only opportunity. 

‘He isn't too bad, a kind and rich guy like him deserves a good woman. But why is he dressing this way, or he doesn't want to show off?. I wish he shouldn't be like one of those playboys out there,’ Rhoda whispered to herself.

“Alright Rhoda I'll get in touch”

“You're welcome Mr. Scott”

“Don't call me Mr. Scott. Just address me as Scott”.

“Alright Scott”

They both exchanged handshakes. Scott felt a force pulling him but he managed to resist. Her cold palm was a seductive one. She smiled. Her eyes were as sharp as a blade. Scott then turned and walked away without much delay. 

His cloth wasn't looking unpresentable, his shoe was torn and his hair was tattered.

He then entered a luxury fashion shop along his journey.

“Hi, please sir how can we be of help to you”, a lady standing in a blue suit  at the help desk asked Scott.

She had one purpose, to receive customers and take them to where they can have affordable clothes.

There were other ladies as well popularly known as “Affiliate team” whose job is mainly referring a customer to buy a product in the luxurious shop and get a percentage of each sales.

“I need a well fashioned and classic clothes.”

“Alright sir.  let's climb up, so you can see and select your choice”

They were more likely young and seductive in nature with their short clothes to lure people's attention to themselves faster. Virtually 70 percent of men have fell for this trapped.

“This is the largest store where you can find any wear and the best quality here. I'll be waiting downstairs after your selection”

“Alright I'll get back to you shortly” Scott said as he walked passed through the segmented layout in the shop. 

The lady walked back to her position but surprisingly saw her colleagues waiting for her.

“I'm not surprised you're a newbie here. You saw someone and immediately granted him permission to go to the store” one of her colleagues said.

“Maybe she thinks such a man looking unpresentable can afford anything here. Let's sit and wait until the customer arrives” they all laughed at her, calling her “The fast taker”.

A few minutes later, Scott arrived downstairs flinging his empty hand showing he bought nothing. Immediately, three of her colleagues started laughing.

Just then, Scott asked the lady who showed her the store earlier.

“Is there any other room where the most expensive and classic wears are stored?”

All the affiliate team stared at him with his tattered hair, torn shoe and worn out cloth.

“Yes sir!

There is a store but it's only for top men in the city and others who are capable enough to go in”

“Capable to go in?”

“Yes sir”

“What do I need to get ine then?”

“You must deposit a $12,000 base f*e to get in. With the f*es, your goods and every package you purchased henceforth will be delivered to you at your address inside or outside the city. And you'll also have access to premium products yet to be sold out anywhere”

“That's not a problem. Can I have the company's bank account details?”

“Yes, sure!. 

The lady handed over the details to him on the counter desk”

A notification pops on the ladies phone 

Ding!

Amount credited, $12,000. 

“Can we get inside now?’

“Y-yes.” the lady answered, almost stammering.

No one had entered the top tier store for almost a year and the first person to go in wasn't looking presentable at all. Different thoughts ran through her mind.

Scott entered. He glanced at a black suit hung directly in front of him.

“This is what I want,” he nodded in satisfaction.

“What's the price for this?”

“It's worth $20,000”

“Alright. I'll make the payment right away”

The lady stood in confusion how did he buy without asking for a discount offer.

After that, Scott entered one of the dressing rooms removing his old cloth. He looked at the mirror, seeing the image of himself, he realized his muscles and body structure are weaker and smaller.

“Hey Super System!”

[Yes! What did you need Host]

“I want my body, muscle and brain to be upgraded 

[Host points will be deducted for the operation. Did you accept? Y/N]

“Yes I accept”

[Notice: Host might be pain]

[Upgrading Host 3..2..1..]

[Upgrade successful]

Ahhhh! Scott shouted. The pain was minor.

He then tapped the screen again.

[Balance:  $1,000,043,000]

[Body: 50 ]

[Mind: 50 ]

[Super point: 0 ]

[Skills: 1 ]

His muscles have increased in size, his face and body became more tender and fresh. Once again he felt alive.

Dressed in his cool black 2-piece suit and his eye glass, Scott moved outside the luxurious building heading to board a cab when he heard a loud cry.

“Please help! Help! Help!

“He's dying”

Scott turned around immediately, he moved closer to gain a clear view of the situation. A man was laying lifeless without any idea of what happened to him.

Scott was about to lift the lifeless body up when he saw his formal Professor Mrs. Kimbo. She was the woman who repeatedly accused Scott falsely on different occasions that he was included in the group of students who cheat during their exam. 

She was also Jack's mentor, who supported Jack whatever he does.

As a result, Scott was given several punishments. Seeing her, Scott withdrew back to the crowd.

“Move away!”

“This is my field, I'm a medical professional with ten years of experience. I'll handle this”.

Everyone stared at her as she tried all her medical tactics but still couldn't revive the lifeless body. Murmuring filled the air as they expected a lot from her after her fine introduction of herself.

Scott glanced at his wrist watch, fifteen minutes had passed and still nothing could be done.

Just then, he realize he had gained a skill earlier.

“Move away!”

“He's dying we need to do something else he'll be dead in no distant time”

Scott approached the body everybody thought he was a medical professional with his outfit his back suit and eye glass 

But there was something strange Mrs. Noticed why looking at him 

“A-are you Scott Bruce?” Mrs. Kimbo asked 

“Did you have a problem?”

“No!, I just want to know”

    Without any warning, the system suddenly displayed everything fully. A bright red notification appeared before his eyes, forcing him to stop and stare at the familiar interface.[MISSION GIVEN][Mission: Identify the source responsible for the unauthorized circulation of sensitive pharmaceutical information.][Time Limit: 72 Hours.][Reward: $50,000,000 + 10 Super Points.][Failure: $150,000,000 deducted.][Mission Status: Failed.]Scott froze immediately, his eyes widening as he read the final line. For several seconds, he remained completely motionless, struggling to understand how he had allowed such an important mission to slip from his memory."What the hell?" he muttered, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "How could I possibly forget something this important?"It was only then that everything came rushing back to him. The system had assigned him the mission earlier, but the unexpected attack and the threats surrounding him completely made him forget.He had been so determined

    The guard lying on the ground tried to raise his hand, but his fingers barely moved. Instead, he nodded at Scott and closed his eyes, thanking Scott.Scott crouched beside him and checked his breathing again. It was steady now, although he remained weak.“Don't force yourself to speak,” Scott said. “You've survived something that should have killed you within minutes, so give your body time to recover.”The other guard wiped sweat from his forehead and stared at his colleague. “Master, I watched him stop breathing. How did you bring him back without even giving him an injection?”Scott glanced at him before standing. “There are things about medicine you haven't seen yet. What matters is that he's alive, and we need to make sure he stays that way.”“But that liquid,” the guard whispered, “That bastard said even being near him could kill us. Was he telling the truth?”“He wanted you frightened,” Scott replied. “I won't pretend his weapon was harmless, but the substance has been cleared

    A red notification flashed across Scott's vision, interrupting his thoughts.Whatever the system had discovered, it had arrived too late to calm him. Still, he had obtained something valuable, a name and the organization behind it, enough evidence to begin exposing his enemies.“They think they can threaten me and erase every trace,” he muttered. “They've made their first mistake by leaving me something to follow.”Scott dismissed the notification and grabbed his phone. He needed to meet Commissioner Alfred, the security officer to whom he had handed Smith and Zaha, before anyone could interfere.Instead of calling Spike, his chauffeur, Scott left with two personal bodyguards and boarded a taxi.After driving some kilometers, the taxi slowed near a busy intersection, where vehicles stood packed together across several lanes.Ten minutes passed without any progress, Scott's patience disappeared. “What is going on?” he demanded. “Why isn't this car moving? We've already wasted ten minut

    His breathing grew heavier as he paced angrily across the room. The thought of deliberately poisoning a medical solution meant to save innocent lives filled him with disgust.He couldn't believe the caller had the courage to make such a demand, especially after everything his enemies had already done to him."And after everything you've done, you still have the nerve to order me to release Smith and Zaha?" Scott continued furiously. "You even think you can decide whether I should stay close to Vivian! Who the hell do you think you are?"He stopped walking and pressed the phone harder against his ear. His fingers tightened around the device as he struggled to control his growing anger. His voice dropped slightly, but the fury behind every word became even more frightening."You're a fool for thinking you can give me conditions," Scott declared. "I'm not the Scott Bruce you knew before, and I'm certainly not someone you can threaten into obedience. If you think those threats will fright

    Scott ended the call and opened the earlier proposal beside the revised version. The additional details in the second document had appeared after the preliminary information began circulating, suggesting that someone had obtained more material along the way.He examined the dates again, searching for anything that might reveal where the information had entered the network. Crownwell's early involvement made the company worth investigating, but it did not prove that Jason had arranged the leak. Scott needed the original transfer record before he could determine who had received the material and what they had done with it.Several minutes later, his assistant returned with a preliminary access report."Sir, the technical team found an overlooked transfer record while comparing the pharmaceutical files with the recent account activity."Scott immediately held out his hand. "Let me see it," he demanded hesitantly.The assistant placed the report on his desk and pointed to an entry near

    Scott placed his phone on the desk after ending the call with his assistant. Jason's determination to secure the pharmaceutical asset had confirmed one thing: Crownwell intended to move quickly, even though the ownership of the commercial rights remained uncertain.Scott opened the reports gathered so far, hoping to find something that could identify the people directing the transaction.The documents showed that the investment opportunity had passed through several intermediaries before reaching interested companies. Each person claimed to have received the information from someone else, leaving Scott with a chain of transactions but no clear starting point. He leaned back in his chair, his expression hardening as he realized how carefully the original source had been concealed."Everyone wants a share of the asset, but nobody wants to explain who authorized the sale," he muttered.”Suddenly, his phone rang, he glanced at the caller, Richard's name appeared on the screen, he answere
