Rise of the Unwanted Son-In-law

Chapter 4 : Truly Wealthy

Damien drove the Lamborghini bull, galloping all the way. He was like a dazzling laser light, attracting attention wherever he went.

After a while, Damien came to a public parking lot. He stepped out of the car, with a driving permit and a registration certificate with his name written on it.

“Damn! This is too good to be true. Perhaps I'm still lying by the alley battered up and all this is just a dream.” Damien could not help but wonder if all these were truly real. He had just gone from a penniless live-in son-in-law to a Lamborghini owner.. all in a few minutes.

At this time Damien's phone vibrated again.

“Huh!? Didn't the message say it will need about twenty-three hours before it delivers more rewards?” Damien muttered as he read the message on the phone screen.

«Ding!

Fortune System has sent the Newbie Package ahead of schedule. Does the Host wish to receive the Newbie Package?»

'Is that a trick question or something? Of course, I would be more than happy to receive this package' Damien screamed with excitement in his mind.

«Ding!

“Sure enough, I have a system. This is not a dream. It seems I have become one of those protagonists in light novels.” Damien muttered under his breath.

“But how will I be able to explain this to Amelia and the Davidsons? I guess it's best to hide all these in the meantime. I will tell her when the time is right. But for now, I need to build myself and reclaim my honour.” Damien said to himself.

He then began to calculate the amount he would be getting in a day due to the Newbie Package.

'Hmm, get one dollar for every breath. For a normal person, it's about twenty breaths per minute and twenty-eight thousand breaths per day. Holy Moly! That's about twenty-eight thousand eight hundred dollars ($28,800) per day!' Damien almost jumped for joy if not for the people walking in and out of the parking lot.

'The same case does not apply to sleep as a person can only get eight hours of sleep a day, which amounts to nine thousand six hundred dollars ($9,600) per day. Calculating both amounts, I will be getting approximately thirty-eight thousand eight hundred dollars ($38,800) every single day! That's approximately more than one million dollars a month ($1,164,000).' Damien stopped abruptly which drew the attention of a few people, but when they looked at the clothes he was wearing, they treated him as air and resumed their previous actions.

'I have to upgrade this system as soon as possible. This is all just Level one daily award, if I upgrade the system to level two, I will be set for life.'

Damien rushed back to his car, entered and drove off towards one of the most famous five-star hotels in Miami Florida.

[ST REGIS BAL HARBOUR RESORT. MIAMI FLORIDA].

His car attracted so much unwanted attention and a few people took photos of the car. Damien gave the keys to the Valet and walked into the hotel. He went straight to the receptionist who seemed to be a young lady of about twenty-one or so. She was extremely pretty and had a professional smile on her face.

“Good day Sir, welcome to St Regis Bal Harbour Hotel. What shall I do for you Sir?” the lady spoke professionally. Although her face was of a smile, but her tone showed otherwise. The moment she saw that Damien's entire clothes and shoes weren't even worth up to four hundred dollars, she could not help but feel disgusted at the guts Damien had to step into this classic hotel reserved for the wealthy.

Damien noticed the disgust in her tone but didn't give a damn as his main objective right now was to upgrade the system.

“How much for a day?” Damien asked casually. His casual tone made the lady frown.

“Sir, all rooms here are made for the wealthy, and each room costs two thousand dollars a day. I suggest you go to a motel Sir.” the lady spoke in an arrogant tone.

“How much for the suite?” Damien asked again in a casual tone as if he never heard what the lady said.

“That's five thousand dollars a day.” the lady said with a smirk on her face. She was expecting Damien to reply with 'I will get back to you later' and then leave the hotel. But what he did next caused a chill to run down her spine.

“There's twenty-six days left in this month. Okay, I will rent the suite for the remaining twenty-six days. Please do the transaction, I have somewhere else to be.” Damien said and brought out his black diamond bank card.

'B.. black diamond bank card!?' the lady began sweating despite the air conditioning in the hotel. One must know that only those who are truly wealthy were given access to black diamond bank cards. Now she had told this man to go to a motel? She felt like slapping herself ten times.

With trembling hands, she took the bank card and ran the transaction.

“And please my car is in the parking lot. It's a black Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. I won't be going home with it as I will be travelling.” Damien said to her with a smile on his face.

Stumped! Gobsmacked!

'Lamborghini Aventador SVJ!?'

“O.. okay Sir.” she stuttered. Damien smiled again and left the hotel.

«Ding!

Damien kept on smiling as he whistled and walked back towards David's mansion.
