Harry couldn't believe his ears but before he could turn around to face her, she brushed past him and strutted like the path to the agency was her runway.

Harry couldn't believe his eyes, he knew he was bound to cross paths with her very soon at school, but he didn’t plan to see her so soon after what she did to him yesterday. And of all places, at his Agency. What are the odds?

At that moment, Harry could feel nothing but disgust towards her, but he realized that if everything that happened yesterday never happened he would never have awakened this system as there was no way he was going to ever spend $500 on just any lady when he could barely even feed himself and pay rent.

That would be absurd but he had that luxury right now, Harry was tempted to call out to her to see her face one more time before he goes full revenge mode on her, but it occurred to him that he owned the agency.

So whatever she came here to do would ultimately become his business, he realized that he needed to get new clothes because he did look like a peasant.

"Alicia…" Harry muttered under his breath as a smile creased his face on his way to his car.

He needed to do more research on both her and Marcus. He knew Alicia, but something tells him there is more to her that he was too blinded by love to see.

He also needed to do more research on the modelling/fashion industry as this could be his gateway into the fashion world and allow him to mingle with top models and designers.

Harry smiled at the thought but this might be a fantasy right now but in the future, it would most certainly become a reality.

He could become the richest man in the world with this power in the space of a day if he played his cards right but Harry knew something like this would raise suspicion.

The last thing he needed was the government coming to ask questions because the bank he had was in their system so he had to be extra careful.

Harry got into his car and took a deep breath, he recalled how big Susan's boobs were and how she was able to carry them around daily. The fact that he could remember every single detail he had seen only made this a lot more difficult to resist thinking about.

Harry recalled their interaction and just shook his head, he hoped the impression he left was a good one.

Harry realized he would have to give Melissa a call not because he liked her but rather because she was a means to increase his wealth.

That was all he cared about and the system was set up in a way that he couldn't spend on himself and earn so he was forced to interact with women even if he didn't want to. But deep down Harry wanted to, he wanted to taste as many women as he possibly can.

Harry was driving when a car nearly rammed right into him but thanks to his innate mastery of operating vehicles, Harry reacted just at the right time by swerving to the right to avoid a head-on collision.

Harry hit the brake to stop himself from hitting a stop sign, he didn't know what the hell happened but that could have been the end of his life right there.

‘That was close…’ Harry thought to himself as this incident generated some traffic.

Harry left his car to see if the person that nearly ran into him was alright only to see the car in a ditch somewhere.

People gathered around to make sure they were alright but Harry waved it off, he was without a scratch and there was no dent on his car, but he wasn't so sure about the other driver.

Harry simply needed to see if it was a lady so he could pay for the damages even though insurance would cover it, that's if they had any, to begin with.

A lady stepped out of the car and she wasn't anything close to attractive, she looked worn out and it was clear that she had little to no sleep due to the eye bags hanging on her face.

Harry could tell this was a young lady but life must be defeating her at every turn, he was in a similar situation just a day ago and for the first time in years, he had a proper night's rest.

"Are you okay?" Harry questioned the woman but she was dazed, she had a little blood dripping from her forehead but it was nothing to worry about.

"OH MY GOODNESS! I AM SO SORRY!" The woman immediately apologized and Harry experienced something that seemed hard to come by and that was someone taking accountability.

"I SHOULD HAVE WATCHED WHERE I WAS GOING! DO YOU NEED MY INFORMATION?" The lady was rattled, Harry noticed her hands were trembling and realized that unlike him, she wasn't blessed with the motor mastery he had.

"It is fine, allow me to pay for the damages…" Harry said and the woman was confused by this considering she was the one that caused the accident.

She simply burst into tears and Harry didn't know how to react to this but after a few minutes.

He got her account details and sent a sum of $5,000 for the little dents and the shattered glass, this was more than enough to cover the costs of these things.

The woman wailed and bawled her eyes out, Harry knew that she needed this more than he did but there was something strange, there was no notification from his system informing him of money being transferred to his account.

‘What delay?’ Harry thought to himself but a Cyan screen popped up at this moment to explain the situation to him.

[The rebate system only pays you when you spend on women you find attractive.]

Harry read this and looked back at the woman, he tried to make her appear attractive but the mucus running down her nose quickly made this an impossible task.

‘It would be a dick move on my part if I asked her to refund back my money?’ Harry thought to himself as this was something that he did consider doing.

Once again, Harry realized he didn't know the quirks of the system and he had just dashed a woman $5,000 with no cashback.

This meant he was down to $12,000. He had to find a way to turn this $12,000 into a much higher amount as he couldn't risk going back to zero.

Harry was glad he didn't give her every penny he had or that would have served as a cruel lesson to learn more about his system.

He got back into his car but he didn't go home. Harry was on the hunt for beautiful women and they were everywhere he looked. Crestview city was literally filled to the brim with beautiful ladies.

However, he had to find just the right one as he parked his car by the sidewalk. It got a little attention due to its luxury exterior but nothing lingering.

‘Should I have spoken to Alicia? Spend some money on her?’ Harry thought to himself, he flipped through his phone and quickly searched for his bank transaction history which he found.

He searched for Alicia's account number that he deposited $200 two months ago, and he nursed a thought, what if he transferred the $10,000 into her bank account?

This was sure to not only get her attention but multiply his wealth, it worked the first time so there was no reason why it shouldn't work the second.

This meant that Harry still found her attractive despite what she did to him and for some reason he knew he had to have her wrapped around his fingers. Isolate her from Marcus Winter.

This was his opportunity to get some sort of payback and he did just that, Harry transferred the $10,000 to Alicia's bank account with a memo.

"Here's my phone number, XXX-XXX-XXX, in case you have deleted it." attached to it and like clockwork, the system responded.

It took nothing less than a minute before a Cyan screen appeared to inform him that this was successful.

[Ding!]

[Spent $10,000. 10X Critical Hit. Earned $100,000! The money has been transferred to your account!]

[Spent at least $10,000 on a beautiful lady!]

  • Chapter 454. The Reunion

    The room Harry had arranged was small and unremarkable by design, a quiet corner suite with soft chairs and warm lighting, nothing about it meant to impress or overwhelm. Ricardo arrived first, pacing slightly near the window, dressed more simply than Harry had ever seen him, no armor of expensive tailoring or careful presentation, just a man waiting to meet his daughter.Osaka arrived a few minutes later, quiet and tense, positioning himself near the far wall, close enough to be present, far enough to give the moment room to belong to the two people it actually belonged to.Lily arrived last.She paused in the doorway for a long moment, taking in the room, taking in the man standing near the window who went suddenly, completely still the second he saw her.Ricardo didn't move first. Harry watched him hold himself back, watched every instinct in the man visibly strain against itself, the urge to close the distance, to pull her into an embrace seventeen years in the making, warring aga

  • Chapter 453. Bringing Her Home

    Harry spent most of the next two days on the phone, arranging details with a level of care he hadn't applied to anything in longer than he could remember. A private room at a quiet hotel, nothing flashy, nothing that would draw attention. Security tight enough to keep everyone safe, discreet enough that it wouldn't feel like walking into an armed camp. A back entrance, a scheduled arrival time, contingencies for a dozen small things that could go wrong.It struck him, somewhere in the middle of confirming the third security detail, how strange it was to be applying this exact skill set to something that actually mattered. He'd spent so much of his early life planning dates and gestures with this same meticulous attention, choosing restaurants, timing surprises, orchestrating moments meant to impress. Now he was orchestrating a reunion between a grieving father and the daughter he'd believed dead for seventeen years, and the stakes had never once felt more real.He went to see Ricardo

  • Chapter 452. The Cost of a Bluff

    Harry arrived the following afternoon at Osaka's request, meeting the two of them at the same small café, and found the air between Lily and Osaka carrying a different tension than the warm, careful opening he'd expected from Osaka's earlier message. Lily's eyes found him the moment he walked in, and there was something sharp in them that hadn't been there during their last conversation. "You told him my father already knew," she said, before Harry had even fully sat down. "Weeks ago. Before I had any idea any of this existed." Harry felt the accusation land exactly where it deserved to, and didn't try to soften his way around it. "That's true." "Explain it to me. All of it." He told her plainly, no dressing it up, no framing it in a way that might make it sound better than it actually was. He told her about the tribunal, about being cornered, about needing something, anything, to shift the room's attention away from an accusation that would have ended very badly for him. He told

  • Chapter 451. Osaka and Lily

    Osaka had flown into more airports than he could count over the years, for business, for negotiations, for the quiet, dangerous work his family had trained him into since he was young enough that he barely remembered a version of himself that hadn't known how to disappear into a crowd. He didn't remember any of those landings feeling like this one. His hands shook slightly as he collected his bag from the carousel, a small enough tremor that he doubted anyone around him noticed, but he noticed, and the noticing unsettled him more than the shaking itself. Seventeen years of careful control, and here he was, undone by nothing more than the prospect of a conversation. She had chosen a small café on the edge of the town where she lived, public enough to feel safe, quiet enough for a real conversation. Her choice, all of it. Osaka had learned, through Harry's careful updates, to simply accept that this entire process belonged to her now, every term, every boundary, and something in him r

  • Chapter 450. What She Actually Wants

    The cottage looked different in daylight, less like a stranger's guarded threshold and more like an ordinary home with flowers along the path and a bicycle leaned against the wall, catching the afternoon sun. She opened the door before Harry had even finished knocking this time, no chain across the gap, and stepped back to let him in without a word."I looked into some of what you told me," she said, once they were both seated in her small kitchen, a pot of tea between them that neither of them had touched yet. "There's a man. A researcher who specializes in cases like this, missing children, false identities, that sort of thing. I found him online and paid for a consultation. I didn't tell him your name, or Ricardo's, just the shape of what you described. He said it wasn't impossible. Said it happens more often than people think, children moved and hidden to protect them from something dangerous.""You didn't have to do that on your own," Harry said."I wasn't going to just take a st

  • Chapter 449. The Waiting

    Harry checked his phone for what felt like the hundredth time that morning, the screen showing nothing but the same notifications he'd already read, and set it face down on his desk with more force than the gesture actually required. Five days since England. Five days since he'd stood on that quiet path and watched a stranger's door close slowly between them, and he still hadn't heard a single word back. He'd thought, more than once over those five days, about booking another flight. About showing up again, this time with more patience, more of Osaka's careful documentation, whatever it might take to move things along faster than her own timeline apparently wanted to move. Each time the thought surfaced, he made himself set it back down. He knew what it would mean if he did that. He knew, more clearly than he might have known it a few months ago, that showing up unannounced a second time, before she'd asked him to, would tell her something ugly about how much her own pace actually
