Reborn To Squander As A Prodigal

Chapter 4: Novice Mission

[Ding, system novice task release: spend one hundred thousand dollars on something that you have always wanted to do but couldn’t. Mission to be completed in 12 hours. Reward – lifespan. Failure – None.]

Zavier’s eyes lit up when he heard that. There was no way he was going to dismiss this mission. His life was at stake there. Moreover, it was a mission to squander on himself to make himself happy. So why object?

As he rummaged through the closet, he started thinking about what he had always wanted to but never done.

There were so many, he realized and since that was the case, why not start from a young age and going up?

Zavier figured that if he does it in that way, it might not be difficult to squander money in the future. The system was just giving him a novice mission of one hundred thousand dollars now, but what about the future?

So, it was better if he starts small as well. Since the wishes only grew bigger with time.

With that in mind, a perfect mission came to mind.

Thinking about how hilarious that dream was when spoken out loud, Zavier’s skin was thick. It couldn’t be thin after all the shameless things he did in his previous life.

In this life, he was going to live for himself but it wouldn’t be that fun if he plays by himself. What would be the point of squandering when no one is there to witness it and enjoy with him?

With that thought in mind, a few victims came to mind and he hurriedly picked the clothes he felt suitable for the occasion.

However, after putting on the pants, he couldn’t help but grimace as he felt them tighter than before and short.

‘I have grown taller and muscular!’

It looked like he would need to buy more clothes. Perhaps change the whole wardrobe to suit his new height and weight.

And that was another squandering opportunity waiting to be exploited. He just needed to wait for the second mission before doing so.

After changing his clothes and spraying cologne, Zavier returned to the bedroom and picked his phone where it always changes whenever he goes to bed.

He didn’t like being disturbed when sleeping, so the phone was always on silent. If anyone calls at night, he would return the call when he was awake. If it was urgent, his friends knew to call the telephone at home. The servants will surely call him.

With the phone in hand, Zavier first checked any missed calls or messages. There were a few from friends.

As for these friends, he kicked them away after he found them very meddlesome when they were trying to advise him to get back on the proper path.

Now that he was back before that happened, he wasn’t going to lose them. He would make sure that they are treated well and they rise together. After all, he knew quite a lot on what will happen to them in the next three years. That should make them remain with him forever, right?

He decided to return the calls after checking the messages. Unfortunately, the majority weren’t important except for Pearl’s message.

[Pearl: Brother, you know the program that I have joined. We are having a mission tomorrow and I want you to tag along if you are free. Can you do me a favor, please? P.S: we can go wherever you want. I don’t want to go shopping at all.]

Zavier smiled faintly as he felt his eyes stinging upon reading that message.

He couldn’t help but recall his previous life. Pearl had messaged him like that but he had ruthlessly rejected her.

Back then, he thought in his mind as he rejected her. Why should he entertain such a little girl?

It wasn’t like she didn’t have any other friends. In his mind, he even thought that by appearing on that show, Pearl wanted to embarrass him. After all, being an illegitimate child wasn’t easy.

It was easy for people to point fingers at him as if he was the one who brought himself into the world. Rather than blaming the people who brought the children, people attack the weak while fearing the strong.

He didn’t want to suffer like that, so he outrightly refused. However, now that he was reborn, he felt melancholic. Somehow, he had forgotten that such a thing happened.

Thinking about the show that Pearl was on, a smile blossomed on his face.

Pearl joined this show on a whim and it was called Life of the Rich. It was a reality show aimed at showing people how the rich people usually live. While most shows like showing how the poor lives, the director of this show did the opposite and it was the second season.

The show wasn’t scripted and the participants simply played however they like. But most participants who appeared on the show were there for a purpose. Promoting themselves, or their businesses and the like.

As for Pearl, she was already a famous internet celebrity but applied on a whim thinking that she wouldn’t be selected only for her luck to be top notch and chosen.

Thankfully, she was rich and didn’t have much to worry about.

In his previous life, Zavier remembered that after he rejected Pearl, she still ended up going shopping and end up bumping into her nemesis who didn’t care about the cameras. The two girls got into a brawl in public and the result was very messy.

Pearl had a breakdown; it was the first time that she suffered heavily like that. The Rockwell’s family troubles were dug out and he, the illegitimate son suffered worse. And that event made him hate this little sister who always loved latching onto him like a leech.

That was the catalyst that made his shaky relationship with Pearl to finally shatter but in this life, he didn’t want to lose this warmth.

Since Pearl was still the same, he, as the brother, wasn’t going to let her down. Even if it was fake, he was still going to enjoy it while it last.

After sorting out his feelings, a smile blossomed on his face as he dialed Pearl’s number. The little girl should be waiting anxiously for his reply and he couldn’t keep her waiting.

                                                                                  ---- ****----

Meanwhile, in a certain villa, a group of people were seated in the living room with several cameras pointed at them from a distance.

Every one of them was very calm as if they weren’t seeing these cameras. They were very relaxed and busy on their phones while talking now and then.

There were three men and three women. All of them carried this rich aura that made those who were watching them feel envious.

These six people happen to be the participants of the reality show currently causing waves online; The Life Of The Rich.

“Have you guys thought about what you want to do today?” a pretty mature sister asked as she put her phone away, her gaze lingering on the two younger women who were with her.

When the question was posed, the two women raised their heads from the phone and one of them with a foxy-looking face, smiled enchantingly as she answered, “Sister Ruth, I am planning on going to a spa with my friends, what about you?”

The mature woman whose name was Ruth smiled at the foxy lady with a slight nod responding, “little sister, that’s a good one. I have an appointment with the jeweler,” speaking to Candice who then turned her head to look at the youngest and cutest, Pearl while hiding her turbulent emotions.

“What about you, Pearl? Any plans?”

When Pearl heard the question being directed at her, she was at a loss for words.

Her mind was blank. Perhaps she had done a lot of things that now, she didn’t find anything interesting. So, she asked her fourth brother for help. If only the mission was issued before her brother was still awake, she would probably be having an answer right now.

But here comes the problem.

She had called home but the butler told her that her fourth brother hasn’t come downstairs yet and that meant he was still sleeping.

He had always hated it when someone disturbs his sleep. She didn’t even know if he had seen her message or not. Or whether he would agree to let her tag along. After all, her brother among the four of them was the most interesting one and have more ideas.

If Zavier doesn’t respond in time, she might be forced to go shopping which she wasn’t in the mood for.

She recently had a shopping haul and had nothing that she was lacking. Why should she torture herself?

Suddenly, she was regretting applying on a whim.

Was she going to embarrass herself in front of millions of viewers?
