“Why can’t I tell my fiancée or anyone else that I have money?” Zane glared at the transparent screen floating before him.

[Mission Updated: Hide your wealth from those closest to you and anyone who knows you]

[Reward: Your intelligence will increase]

“I don’t need intelligence! I want respect! I’m sick of being looked down on!”

[Warning! If you break the rule, you’ll lose all your progress and rewards, permanently.]

“Tsk!” Zane had no choice but to comply. He quickly swapped his expensive tuxedo for a plain shirt, left his luxury sports car in the garage to gather dust, and hailed a cab instead.

“Could you drive any slower?” he snapped.

“If you want speed, drive your own damn car!” the cabbie shot back, irritated. Traffic was crawling.

Like I’d be riding this rust bucket if I had a choice. Damn it!

Zane clenched his fists, forcing himself to stay calm. The last thing he needed was to get thrown out for arguing.

He checked his watch for the hundredth time, anxiety gnawing at him. Mom

    Abigail smiled happily after finishing her call with Zane. She wouldn't waste this opportunity to invite Mr. Christopher to collaborate and further expand Gonzalez Corp.Abigail's heart skipped a beat when she realized she was about to meet the tycoon who had taken the USA by storm at The Exclusive Fallon Gala."Miss, there's someone here to see you." Before Abigail's assistant could finish her sentence, Danzel barged in."How are you, honey?"Abigail's face immediately turned grim. "Who let you in?"Danzel was surprised by Abigail's response, but he chuckled sarcastically. "How dare you be rude to your helper? Do you no longer want your contract with Fallon Corp.?" he threatened."Your helper?" Abigail chuckled sarcastically. "All you do is spout nonsense."Danzel sat across from Abigail with a sly grin. "I've already made you a great offer. If you sleep with me, you'll get a contract with Fallon Corp. Why are you so stubborn? Do you want Gonzalez to go bankrupt?""I'd rather die tha

    Arriving at the penthouse, Zane immediately checked the system notification, still battered.[New Quest Has Appeared: Purchase a Limited Edition Tuxedo within 30 Minutes]'Damn! How can I possibly do this!'Zane's head felt like it was going to explode as the quest became increasingly impossible. Ten minutes? He even needed half an hour to get to the mall.[If you fail, all your money and skills will be lost!]'Tsk!' Zane paced back and forth, rubbing his chin."Sir," Louis entered. "Avery called." He handed Zane his phone.Zane picked it up. "What's wrong?" His voice was cold."Are you feeling better?" Avery asked anxiously."It's just a small cut. Don't mind me. Just tell me if you have something to say. There's no way you're calling me just to ask about my condition.""You're right." Avery chuckled softly. Her voice was soft and beautiful. "Fallon's Exclusive Gala is about to begin. Should I postpone it until you get better? Your presence is crucial to this event, as you've officia

  • Chapter 15 - The Master Revealed

    “How dare you harass Skylar and deceive the Fallon family!”Zane sat handcuffed in the interrogation room, his body battered by the police. His nose was broken, his lip split, blood spilling freely.When he came to, the first thing he saw was Inspector Gerald’s fierce face. Zane’s fists clenched as he recalled how Skylar had knocked him unconscious. That woman must have been the one who got him thrown in here on false charges.Slap!Gerald’s hand cracked across Zane’s face, snapping his head to the side. Blood trickled from the corner of his eye. Two of Gerald’s men stood nearby, gripping their batons.“I’m talking to you! How dare you ignore me!”Zane glared at him coldly. “Do you have any proof that I ever deceived or harassed Skylar?”[Warning! You only have three hours left. If you fail, all your money will be lost!]'Damn it!' Zane cursed under his breath.“I don’t need proof to punish scum like you!” Gerald sneered. “Do you know who I am? I work for the Fallon family! They pay m

    “Are you really sure that guy’s going to buy sixty percent of our shares?” Evelyn, Avery’s assistant, asked skeptically. “What if he’s trying to scam you? Even the stuff he’s wearing doesn’t look worth more than twenty bucks.”Avery gracefully set her teacup back on the table. “We won’t know until we see it ourselves. According to Louis, his assistant, the man will transfer the exact amount I asked for. I was in a rush, so I had Louis come here with me to discuss the terms. I never expected his boss to show up in person. Isn’t that proof enough of his intentions?”“But I already had the Fallon family’s private investigator look into Zane’s background. Do you know what they found?!"Avery’s brows furrowed with curiosity.“Zane is an orphan who grew up in a run-down orphanage! He doesn’t even have records from any prestigious universities! And his wealth? Completely untraceable!”Avery recalled how humble Zane had been. Maybe he wasn’t comfortable being in the spotlight, which was why h

  • Chapter 12 - Two Million

    Without a word, Suzy left Zane behind and hurried straight into Adam’s office.“Sir, can I get my commission now? My mom really needs it.” Panic was written all over her pale face.“You’re not getting it.”“W-what do you mean?” Suzy’s eyes widened. Her heart stopped cold. Her mother was hanging by a thread.“You stole Mikaela’s client, so I gave the commission to her.” Adam’s voice carried no emotion. No sympathy touched his arrogant face.It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over Suzy.“But I never stole Mikaela’s client. I only served Mr. Christopher because Mikaela ignored him.” Her voice trembled, fighting back tears of disappointment.“Nonsense! Have you forgotten Mikaela’s one of our top sales staff? She could sell out this whole building in a day, while you… since the day you started, you haven’t sold a single unit! Does it even make sense that Mr. Christopher bought the penthouse because of you?” Adam sneered.“And besides, there’s no way he’d ever buy something t
