Rocky moved down from the bed with the help of Fred and a nurse, he was carried to the wheelchair that had been prepared there, after he sat down, Fred pushed the wheelchair out of the hospital room.

Rocky hadn't done anything since then, not even to clean up his clothes and tidy up what needed to be tidied up. Everything had been taken care of by Fred and some of his other men.

Right now they were going home because he was fine and only needed hospitalization. He was sitting quietly in his wheelchair and staring at his surroundings which were already quite crowded. Several people passed by in the hallway of the hospital but he did not do anything and just stayed silent until they arrived at a gray Rolls Royce car that looked so dashing standing at one of the special exits.

His gaze tried to be calm and didn't ask Fred about the car, because she couldn't afford to show a telling attitude in front of this man. If he didn't know about the car and the shape of the car he had then this man wouldn't believe that he was the president director as he was called.

"President, let me help you." Fred said politely, while the other men opened the door elegantly.

The rest stood around and some put their bags of clothes and necessities into the trunk. Rocky complied when he was helped to get into the car. A luxury car that he usually only saw owned by high-class people, Rocky had never owned a car that was more luxurious than his own car which was still a standard brand.

He once dreamed of a car like this but he realized that his profits weren't that great and didn't dare to take a car that was too expensive to buy, because he reckoned that if one day the company crashed like this time then he would have trouble paying for it himself.

"It's comfortable." Rocky said making Fred nod.

He politely bowed and closed the car door. Rocky stared at the surroundings with a sparkling and disbelieving face. He really didn't expect that now his status had completely changed and he became a very rich figure but he didn't know what his wealth was for one.

He had heard of the ROC company, but now he didn't even know how much wealth he could have. Just like this he was already very grateful, having bodyguards and assistants, having a luxurious car that not everyone could afford, then living in a penthouse.

All of these were not his dreams back then but they were hers now and that was enough to make his satisfied.

"You can't be satisfied with what you've got now, Rocky. You need to be a business mogul and a famous personality with no rivals. With all that you can get whatever you want and do whatever you want."

The sound of the system in his head made him look down himself. He held his head but finally looked at Fred who had just gotten into the car to take the vehicle away. Some of his other men got into a different car and started following their car as it drove away.

"I deliberately did not introduce you to the doctors and nurses, President. You weren't escorted away because I prevented it even though your wealth and ability to pay all the expenses is showing that you're a rich man without revealing your true identity." Fred said making Rocky raise his eyebrows.

"Why is that?"

Fred looked down before answering. "For now your identity is very important and confidential. Even though you are the official president director of ROC Company, there are some people who want to find information about you and steal it first. Even though in a few days we will have a press conference, there you will meet important people in business.

"ROC Company is too big and too powerful, as the owner and CEO of the company you have a lot of privacy. You've never shown yourself in person and that's a very good thing. Not everyone can know who you are and what you look like. Not even everyone knows your name so it's a secret until now. If it is said or stolen by people prematurely and spread out, it will only become a riot."

Rocky paused, although this was actually too much but it was a rule in the business world. Not every president or CEO can be introduced just like that. They have restrictions, they have very high privacy, even most of them deliberately hide themselves and don't want to be recognized by people. That is a very important thing because there are many invisible enemies of business. If they were not recognized then it would be easier to keep an eye on them and it would also be easier to live life. Rocky said that so he did not argue much and just nodded.

"The company rules are like that and the average businessman always hides himself. Not being dropped off or greeted when coming and going is not important. It makes no difference to me because I'm not someone who craves that kind of respect," he said making Fred smile and nod in understanding.

"It's enough that I'm known as your assistant to facilitate whatever you want to do. For small matters like this that involve the common people and the lower middle class, you don't need to interfere with it."

Rocky said nothing, he just kept quiet until the car finally entered a luxury apartment area that was also the penthouse of the rich people in this city. The skyscraper in front of him was one of the most limited edition and exclusive buildings. Rocky was dumbfounded because he couldn't believe that he had been brought here to live.

"This apartment does look a lot and is favored by the upper class people, President. However, don't worry because I've confirmed this place before buying it. It will be quiet and not noisy as it will only be occupied by people who are busy and have jobs and are high class." Fred said, then walked out and opened the door politely for Rocky.

His other men got him a wheelchair and helped him down to sit in it. They moved in and pushed him, until Rocky could see the place where he lived with a face that was quite grinning because he was very happy.

"Welcome, Mr. Rocky Kennedy..."

  • The Kennedy Family

    The sun began to set, leaving behind a streak of crimson-orange that reflected off the glass walls of the ROC presidential suite. Rocky Kennedy sat in silence in his plush leather chair, his fingers tapping the mahogany desk in a rhythmic cadence. Before him, a holographic display—visible only to his eyes—flickered to life, showing a digital invitation that Fred had intercepted from the Kennedy family’s private network. "The annual foundation anniversary dinner," Rocky murmured, his voice heavy in the quiet room. "Or more accurately, a celebration for successfully purging a 'parasite' like me from their lineage." “Sir, data indicates that your uncle, Richard Kennedy, has leveraged your father’s old assets to fund his new project with Gerry Foorgan. They are utterly convinced you will never rise again,” the System’s voice rang cold within his mind. Rocky flashed a cynical smile. "They didn't just discard me when I fell; they plundered my parents' remaining legacy. Fred!" The door s

  • Madeline's Apology?

    The press conference had just ended in an absolute uproar. Rocky descended from the stage under heavy guard, leaving behind a hall filled with a swarm of journalists hungry for more information. However, his stride was halted in the VIP corridor leading to his office when two very familiar figures intercepted him. "Rocky! Wait!" It was Madeline’s voice. She was jogging toward him, breathless, while Gerry followed behind with a face flushed deep crimson—a volatile mix of rage, shame, and denial. Rocky stopped, but he didn't fully turn around. "You have thirty seconds before security drags you out of my building." Madeline immediately stood before him, desperately trying to put on her sweetest, most regretful face. "Rocky, please, listen to me. About what happened in the lobby... I was just confused. I was pressured by Gerry! He’s the one who forced me to distance myself from you when you went bankrupt." Gerry’s eyes widened in shock. "What? Madeline! What are you saying?" Ignorin

  • Owner of ROC Company

    Gerry attempted to rush after Rocky, but two burly bodyguards immediately blocked his path. "Move! Do you have any idea who I am? I am an important guest!" Gerry screamed frantically. Beside him, Madeline stood frozen, her entire body trembling. She watched Rocky’s retreating back—a back she once held close, but which now felt utterly foreign, radiating an oppressive aura of absolute power. "Gerry, this is impossible... ROC is a global titan. How could Rocky..." Madeline’s voice hitched in her throat. "Shut up! This has to be a scam. Rocky must have hired these people just to humiliate us!" Gerry tried to convince himself, even as cold sweat began to drench his temples. Inside the main hall, hundreds of journalists from various international media outlets had their cameras poised. Flashbulbs ignited like lightning with every movement on stage. The name Rise Of Company (ROC) was a magnetic force in the business world today. Rocky stood behind the stage curtain, watching the monitor

  • Gerry and Madeline's Insult

    Rocky turned slowly, his gaze falling upon Gerry, who was clad in an expensive suit—a luxury bought with the spoils of the company he had stolen years ago. Beside him stood Madeline, looking stunning in a designer gown, though in Rocky’s eyes, she was nothing more than a displaced ornament. "Gerry Foorgan," Rocky said flatly. His voice no longer trembled as it had during his bankruptcy. "The world is small indeed, but I didn’t expect you to have the nerve to greet the man you betrayed." Gerry let out a scoffing laugh, while Madeline watched Rocky with a look of disgust mingled with pity. "Rocky, look at yourself. You show up at the ROC building dressed like that? Are you applying for a janitor position?" Madeline mocked. "Leave before security drags you out. This is an event for the elite, not a place for beggars to indulge in nostalgia." Rocky adjusted his jacket, giving Gerry and Madeline one last look before heading inside. "Gerry, thank you for coming to my company. I’ll make s

  • Meeting at ROC Company

    Waking up, Rocky let out a long sigh and sat up.He hadn’t been able to sleep all night, his mind too busy with thoughts of tomorrow—when he would have to hold a press conference as the CEO of ROC, a company known across the world.Getting out of bed, Rocky walked to the balcony door, pushed it open, and stepped out toward the railing. Who would have thought—just a short while ago he had been on the verge of bankruptcy, unable to rise again. Yet now, he was the president director of one of the largest corporations in the world. Who could have imagined it?“I will never forgive those who tried to destroy my company,” Rocky muttered, drawing in a deep breath. “Every single person who made me fall, every one of them who watched me sink without lifting a finger—they’ll all pay the price. I will never forgive them… unless they live as my slaves.”The night felt calmer than usual. In his new mansion, Rocky could feel the luxury that surrounded him. Yet he knew—he couldn’t force others to he

  • Video Spreader

    Rocky looked at Fred who was already walking with a lot of files. There were a lot of things that Fred investigated as soon as he got up from the hospital bed because from that very moment he realized that there were a lot of people who had tried to bring him down. "The site that spread the video of you asking your aunt for money came from a strange site. I tried to track it down but couldn't find any accurate data from the site that spread it. It seems like it's an illegal site managed by the system so no one uses it and anyone who wants to spread something from there just needs to submit the material." Fred said making Rocky look at what the man was showing. Rocky looked at what was in front of him, some data about the websites that had spread the video. Many had also checked him out in the comment section because of a rumor that he didn't have the wealth that was rumored, which made him smile slightly. "This account is connected to one of the small industries, it seems to ha
