After leaving the electronics store, Raymond made his way to the second floor of Skyline Mall, heading straight for a high-end clothing store. With the vast funds granted by the System, he intended to completely revamp his fashion style.
He arrived at Elite Threads, a renowned luxury brand outlet. “Welcome to Elite Threads!” a cheerful employee called as Raymond entered. “Looking for anything in particular? Maybe I can help,” another staff member asked, smiling warmly. “I’m looking for t-shirts, jackets, and jeans—something that fits me perfectly,” Raymond replied. “Right this way, sir,” the employee gestured, leading him toward the modern fashion section. Raymond carefully selected his items: shirts, jackets, and jeans, each meticulously chosen. He tried them on and found they fit flawlessly. Prices didn’t concern him—thanks to the System, money was no longer an issue. “I’ll take these, ten sets of each,” Raymond said with a smile. The employee’s eyes lit up as she quickly began preparing the items for purchase. The pieces he chose were far from cheap. “Anything else, sir?” she asked. “No, that’s all,” Raymond said, returning a polite smile. “That’ll be $2,050,” the cashier stated. “Make it an even $2,100. Keep the extra for the assistant who helped me,” Raymond said, handing over his card. The employee assisting him couldn’t hide her delight at the generous tip. [Ding!] [Congratulations, Host. You have gained 10 Strength Points for generously tipping the staff.] Raymond grinned. The System rewarded generosity—even without a mission prompt. Once his shopping was complete, he headed to the restroom to store his purchases in the System inventory, avoiding the hassle of carrying multiple items. “System, display my status,” Raymond muttered internally as he waited for his ride. [Ding!] [Displaying Host Status] Status Panel: Name: Raymond Xavier Age: 20 Strength: 30/100 Intelligence: 20/100 Skills: Mastery of Various Weapons, God-Level Business & Stocks, Master Martial Arts Weapon: Glock 17 (Unlimited Ammo) Wealth: Infinite Assets: 100% shares of BAC Bank Raymond’s ride arrived promptly. He directed the driver to the Crowne Plaza, a five-star hotel he had long dreamed of visiting. Upon arrival, a beautiful receptionist approached him. “How may I assist you today?” she asked politely. “I’m here for dining,” Raymond replied. “For how many guests, sir?” she asked. “Just one,” Raymond answered, flashing a friendly smile. “Do you have a membership card, sir?” she asked curiously. “No, I don’t.” “Have you made a reservation?” “Not yet,” Raymond said calmly. “I’m afraid that to dine or reserve a room here, you must have either a membership or a prior reservation,” she explained. “I see. Could you explain the membership options?” Raymond asked. “We offer three levels: Standard for $300, VIP for $1,500, and VVIP for $4,500,” the receptionist replied. “I’d like to pay $15,000 for the membership,” Raymond said casually. “Excuse me… did you just say fifteen thousand dollars?” she stammered, stunned. “Yes, I’m paying for the membership at $15,000,” Raymond said nonchalantly. Money like this was trivial compared to what the System had provided him. The receptionist looked skeptical but called the manager. “Please wait a moment, sir. I need to consult the manager,” she said. Minutes later, a tall, elegant manager named Vivian appeared. “What seems to be the matter, Selina?” she asked. “Well, Vivian, this gentleman wants a membership, but he’s offering $15,000. The highest official membership is $4,500. I’m unsure which category to assign him,” Selina explained, confused. Vivian glanced at Raymond. His outfit looked modest, far from the sum he was willing to pay. “So you want a $15,000 membership?” she asked, smirking slightly, suspecting a prank. She wanted to see if he could really pay. “May I see your ID, sir?” Vivian asked. Raymond handed over his card without hesitation. “Alright, please wait while I process your information.” A few minutes later, Vivian asked, “How will you make the payment?” “Do you accept fingerprint payment?” Raymond inquired. “Absolutely. Which bank would you like to use?” “Any is fine,” he said politely. Vivian positioned the fingerprint scanner and computer for the transaction. Raymond pressed his finger onto the scanner. [Ding!] [Payment of $15,000 successful!] Both Vivian and Selina stared, astonished that the payment went through without a hitch. Vivian recovered quickly, retrieving a VVIP membership card from the drawer. She handed it to Raymond with a sweet smile and personally escorted him to the suite room. Despite having staff assigned to guests, she didn’t want to miss the opportunity to know someone capable of such a grand gesture. In her mind: Being close to someone like him could guarantee a secure future. It was a natural instinct—powerful, wealthy men were highly desirable, and proximity to them could ensure safety and luxury. As Vivian guided Raymond, Selina regretted not handling the matter herself. “I shouldn’t have called the manager… I could’ve been promoted for this,” she muttered internally. Once settled in the suite, Raymond placed his stored items neatly and took a moment to survey the room. The hotel exuded luxury, and the view from the window overlooked the city’s glittering skyline. “Another mission might appear soon,” the System reminded him. Raymond grinned. This new life was full of risks and opportunities—but he was no longer a mere bystander. He was in control. Moments later, the System alerted him: [Ding!] [External Threat Detected. Defense Mission Incoming.] A chill ran down his spine—not from fear, but anticipation. Raymond clenched his fists, feeling the thrill of a world that would test him in ways he had never imagined. “This city thinks it knows me… soon it will learn,” he muttered, a determined glint in his eyes. From the skyscraper window, the lights of Skyline Mall shimmered in the distance. Somewhere in the crowd, challenges awaited. But Raymond was ready. With the VVIP card in his hand, unlimited wealth, and the System backing him, he knew this was just the beginning. The game had started. [Ding!] [New Mission Unlocked: Prepare for Incoming Threat. Rewards and Risks Await.] Raymond smiled coldly. In this world of high stakes, he was no longer a participant—he was a player, and soon, a master.Latest Chapter
Chapter 22 – The Night That Watches
At the underground headquarters of the Sanborn Clan, tension thickened the air like smoke. Richard Sanborn sat on a massive leather chair, his expression calm yet seething with fury. Around him, his men kept their heads lowered, waiting for the storm to break.“Why hasn’t there been any news?” Richard’s voice was deep and sharp. “My son is crippled—and you still haven’t found that boy and his friends?”One of his men, pale and trembling, lifted his head only to bow again. “Forgive us, Master. Their phones are deactivated. All traces are gone.”Richard’s fist slammed onto the table. “Then contact Sinagar Permana. Tell him to take the girl—Adrianna Vale. Lure the boy out. And don’t you dare come back without that item.”“Yes, Master,” the man stammered, rising quickly and hurrying out of the room.He reached the secure line, dialing a number known only to Sanborn’s inner circle. On the other end, a rough voice answered—Jonah Kade, the field commander running their suburban operations.“
Chapter 21 – From Shadows to Salvation
After speaking with her father, Adrianna Vale decided to head to campus. The morning sun glinted off her residence’s marble floors as she adjusted her bag, her mind still lingering on the brief conversation with her father.“Do you want to come with me to campus?” Raymond Xavier asked, glancing at Adrianna, Bella, and Anita.“Hmmm… I don’t think so, darling. We’re planning to shop at Crimson Plaza,” Adrianna replied softly, followed by nods from Anita and Bella. Their eyes sparkled mischievously, a contrast to Raymond’s calm demeanor.“Alright, then I’ll go ahead,” Raymond said, smiling warmly.Anita stepped closer, followed by Adrianna and Bella, their hands brushing against Raymond’s as they leaned in. One by one, they kissed him on the lips, a tender but playful ritual that had become their signature.“Be careful, darling. Don’t make any of the female students swoon, okay?” Anita warned with mock seriousness.“I can’t promise that,” Raymond chuckled, the corners of his eyes crinkli
Chapter 20 – Journey to the Alexander Residence
After finishing breakfast together, Andrea, Anita, Bella, Simon, Evan, and Raymond prepared to escort Andrea home, as she planned to visit her father.Suddenly, Raymond’s phone vibrated. It was a call from an unknown number.“Hello,” Raymond answered calmly.“Good morning, Mr. Raymond. Sorry to bother you. This is Fernando, Director of Liam Hospitals Group. I wanted to inform you when you could come to the hospital to sign the ownership transfer documents,” Fernando said politely.“I’ll be there at 1:00 PM, Mr. Fernando,” Raymond replied casually.“Very well, Mr. Raymond. We’ll be expecting you,” Fernando responded.“Alright,” Raymond hung up.Andrea, curious about the conversation, asked, “Who was that, dear?”“The Director of Liam Hospitals Group,” Raymond replied.“Is someone sick?” Andrea inquired.“No, they just requested my presence,” Raymond explained. “Oh, by the way, about VBTU, when can I come to the campus to sign the stock transfer documents?”“I will arrive around 11:00 A
Chapter 19 – The Return of the Valemont Phantom
The black car came to a stop right in front of Valemont Mansion 1. Raymond Xavier, Simon Yates, and several Alexander family bodyguards stepped out. The night air was crisp, yet the mansion’s grounds seemed heated, thick with tension left over from last night’s club incident.Raymond led the way, followed by Andrea Alexander, Bella Grey, Anita Cole, and Lucas Ward. Simon held a tablet, scanning a quick security report.“Simon… did you forget something?” Raymond asked softly, his tone teasing.Simon frowned. “I don’t think so, Boss… not that I remember.”Raymond’s eyes narrowed, then a chuckle escaped him. “The target.”Simon slapped his forehead in embarrassment. “Ah, right! Sorry, Boss. What should we do with him?”“Take him to the basement. I’ll be waiting there.”Simon nodded toward Lucas. “Come on, help me carry him.”Together, they went back to the car to fetch the target—a man now completely powerless in the trunk.Raymond exhaled, then glanced at the three women standing before
Chapter 18 – Battle at the Crimson Club
The rhythm of the night pulsed through the heart of Valemont City, where the neon lights from the Crimson District flickered like warning signals in the mist. From the outside, the Crimson Club looked like any other luxurious nightclub—red velvet walls, golden lamps, and the faint scent of expensive liquor. But for those who knew, it was something else entirely—a battleground behind the façade of glamor.Inside, Raymond Xavier moved like a shadow through the crowded dance floor. The bass thumped hard enough to shake the glasses, bodies pressed against one another, and laughter echoed, covering the darker whispers hidden beneath the music. His eyes, sharp and cold, scanned every corner from behind the dark glass of his drink.He wasn’t here for pleasure. Not tonight.Raymond’s target was clear—the private VVIP Lounge on the second floor. That’s where Dorian Cartello, son of the infamous underworld figure Sanjay Cartello, usually held court with his entourage.“System,” Raymond muttered
Chapter 17 – Test of Strength
Ray now stood at the back of the mansion, flanked by Simon, Ethan, Anita, and Bella. He was determined to test the combat abilities of the former intelligence agents.“I want all of you to fight me with full power. No holding back, no pity,” Ray said firmly, facing them.“All right, if that’s what you want. But be prepared to end up in the hospital,” Simon replied with a sly smile.“Come at me, all four of you. Don’t be afraid to send me to the hospital—or even to the grave,” Ray said casually.“I alone am enough to take you on. Don’t underestimate me, kid,” Simon countered.“Fine then. Come on, attack me!” Ray challenged.“All right, don’t regret it,” Simon said, launching an attack with incredible speed.Swush! Bugh! Bugh!Simon unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks. Ray calmly blocked them, then struck back toward Simon’s stomach, sending him flying backward.Brakkk!“You’re good. You can
