FINALE & AUTHOR'S THANKS
FIVE YEARS LATER.Morning sunlight spread across Alerion City like a golden blanket, reflecting off the countless glass towers that now dominated the skyline. Among them stood one building that towered over every other landmark—the eighty-storey headquarters of Eden Royalty Corporation.Its golden logo gleamed proudly at the top.To millions of people, it was more than a company.It was hope.Television screens across the country carried the same headline."EDEN ROYALTY FOUNDATION AWARDS ANOTHER TEN THOUSAND SCHOLARSHIPS TO UNDERPRIVILEGED STUDENTS."Another reporter smiled before the camera."Five years after becoming the nation's youngest business magnate, Chairman Dean Wealth continues to expand his charitable initiatives. Today alone, Eden Royalty announced the completion of twelve new hospitals, twenty-three primary schools, and three vocational training centers."The television switched to another station."...Analysts now rank Eden Royalty among the world's fastest-growing corp
CHAPTER 177. The Legacy Of Eden
Morning sunlight poured over Alerion City.From the highest skyscrapers in the financial district to the smallest roadside shops, the city was alive with its usual energy. Office workers hurried to work, children laughed on their way to school, delivery trucks filled the roads, and restaurants prepared for another busy day.Yet there was one topic that seemed to unite everyone."Eden Royalty."The company's name was everywhere.Its hotels had become the standard of luxury.Its real estate projects had transformed entire neighborhoods.Its investment programs had helped thousands of small businesses find their footing.Its charitable foundation had built schools, hospitals, orphanages, and elderly care centers across the country.What had started as one man's determination to survive had become an empire that countless people depended on.Inside the headquarters of Eden Royalty Corporation, Clarice stood before the board of directors.The conference room was completely silent.She look
CHAPTER 176. Home Again
The pillar of golden light grew brighter and brighter until Dean could no longer distinguish where the light ended and where he began. It was warm, peaceful, and strangely familiar. It reminded him of the warmth he used to feel whenever his mother tucked him into bed after a long day at the little restaurant. It reminded him of the day his daughter had hugged him after he rescued her from the kidnappers. It reminded him that, after every storm, there was always a place called home.Aura's calm voice echoed one last time.Return Sequence Complete.Goodbye... Keeper.Dean smiled faintly."Goodbye... Aura."The light suddenly collapsed inward.Everything disappeared....Clarice had completely lost track of time.She sat beside the circular platform where Dean had vanished, her hands tightly clasped together. She had tried counting the minutes, then the hours, but eventually she had given up. Time inside the inheritance chamber seemed meaningless.Philip stood a short distance away with
CHAPTER 175. Possession Over Purpose
The darkness surged forward like a living tide.It poured through the widening cracks in the white world, swallowing the peaceful glow that had surrounded Dean only moments ago. The golden threads representing countless lives trembled violently, their light flickering as though some invisible force was trying to snuff them out.Dean stood his ground.His expression remained calm, but his eyes had become sharp."So," he said quietly, "this is the burden every Keeper inherits."Aura's voice echoed around him.Affirmative.Every generation leaves behind choices. Good choices strengthen the path. Evil choices stain it.Dean watched as the crimson eyes multiplied inside the darkness."There are... hundreds of them."Correction.Thousands.Dean slowly exhaled."So every failed candidate..."Left behind their greed, hatred, envy, arrogance, and obsession. Those emotions accumulated over countless generations.Dean frowned."They couldn't let go."They chose possession over purpose.The darkn
Chapter 174. A New Beginning
The light slowly faded.Dean stood alone in the endless white space where the Keeper had disappeared. For a long moment, he simply stared at the spot where the old man had been standing. There was no farewell beyond those final words. No dramatic exit. No final handshake. Just silence.Dean let out a slow breath."So... this is really goodbye."No one answered.Yet strangely, he didn't feel abandoned.Instead, he felt... trusted.The responsibility that now rested on his shoulders was heavier than anything the Wealth System had ever asked of him before. It wasn't a quest he could complete. It wasn't a reward he could earn. It was simply his life now.A familiar voice echoed through the white space.Dean Weatherman.Dean looked around."The System."Correction.Dean frowned slightly."What?"I am no longer your System.Dean remained quiet.The voice continued.You are no longer a User.You are the Keeper.Dean smiled faintly."I suppose I should get used to hearing that."A gentle puls
CHAPTER 173. The Man Before The Wealth
The question lingered in the endless white space.Neither Dean nor the Keeper spoke.The silence wasn't uncomfortable. It was patient, as though the world itself was willing to wait until Dean found an answer that truly belonged to him.Dean lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the empty ground beneath him."If everything the Wealth System has given you were taken away..."The Keeper's words echoed again in his mind."The money.""The companies.""The fame.""The influence.""The power.""If all of it disappeared...""Who would you be?"Dean let out a slow breath."When I first awakened the Wealth System..." he finally began, "...I would have answered differently."The Keeper remained silent.Dean continued."I would have said I'd become nothing."He gave a small, bitter smile."Because that was exactly how I saw myself."He slowly looked up."I was a live-in son-in-law who couldn't even protect his own dignity."Images flashed through his mind.Kathleen throwing insults at him.The Ha
