The Billionaire’s Revenge System

Chapter 3 – Luxury Upgrade: VVIP Challenge

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!]

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.
