But I can promise you that I didn't get it by stealing or borrowing from loan sharks. I got a good paying job. I got out of the factory. This $8,800,000 I got as a bonus from my job."
"What kind of job can pay that much, Erland? You scare me. I don't want you to get involved in anything dangerous."
“Ainsley, listen to me. Look into my eyes. Do I look like a man who likes to do dirty work?”
Ainsley shook her head. Erland grasped her hand tighter.
“I won't do bad things or commit crimes just because of money. Trust me, this money is clean. You can trust me, right?”
Ainsley paused, she hesitated but remembering all of Erland's struggles working hard to pay for her medical expenses, Ainsley had to trust her husband.
“I believe you.”
Erland smiled, "Thank you dear, thank you for believing in me."
The transparent screen message disappeared and Erland breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you still tired? Want me to carry you?"
"No, let's go home, Erland. I have to cook something nice for Dad."
"All those days in the hospital, Dad must be tired of eating bland food."
“Of course, honey.”

[Mr. Edmund's hospital is in Sky Valhala, Mr. Ronald.]
After reading the short message from his secretary, Ronald turned the car to Sky Valhala, one of the elite hospitals in Sinker City.
He came here to see the plight of Erland's family who couldn't pay for the surgery.
Last week after Erland and Ainsley left the party, Ronald immediately investigated what happened. He was so happy when he heard that Erland's father had been hit by a car and his leg would be amputated if it couldn't be operated on.
"Can I help you, Sir?" the nurse asked as she saw Ronald standing in front of the reception desk.
"Is Mr. Edmund still being treated here, Sus? He hasn't had surgery yet, has he? I will pay for his operation. Tell his son Erland to come and see me."
Ronald had prepared a bad plan, he would pay for the operation in exchange for Erland becoming his slave.
He would beg at his feet and lick his shoes, then apologize for daring to make a mess in the factory.
Ronald also wanted to use Erland's labor for free, so he had to return to the factory without a monthly salary.
"I'm sorry, Sir, but the patient named Mr. Edmund was discharged this afternoon. Mr. Erland has also paid his hospital bill."
"Nurse must be wrong! Operation cost 50 million dollars! Where did he get so much money to pay for it?"
The nurse didn't want to prolong the matter, she showed Erland's receipt.
Ronald read the bill, his hands clenched in anger.
‘Ainsley, let's go, I have 50 million dollars for Dad's treatment!'
Ronald recalled the memory, he didn't believe Erland wasn't bragging.
"Bastard, where did he get 50 million dollars?" Ronald slammed the car door and got in, his frustration growing. He had left the hospital five minutes ago.
Ronald slammed the wheel. "God damn it!" he swore. He grabbed his cell phone and dialed his confidant.
"Have you found them?"
"Already, Sir, you can meet their group in Cheng Du Alley."
"I hope your information doesn't disappoint me."
"Take it easy, Mr. Ronald, their group is well known. They have connections with the high-end mafia."
Ronald smiled, that was good news for him. The call ended, Ronald started the car and drove to Cheng Du Alley.
Cheng Du, an area inhabited by narrow-eyed residents, they are overseas. As the car entered the alleys, Ronald would find bars and casinos.
Ronald's car braked suddenly as two burly men blocked him through the alley. This area appeared to be controlled by a mob boss.
The window of Ronald's car was hit so hard it almost shattered.
"Hey, get out of the car now!"
Ronald complied and put his car keys in his pocket.
"What are you doing in our neighborhood? It's rare for a Sinker City resident to enter our neighborhood without permission."
Ronald's identity as a Sinker City resident was immediately recognized by his car's license plate. Cheng Du's car license plates always have the suffix CDF (Cheng Du Family).
"I'm here to see Jefrey."
"Who are you? How dare you mention the boss's name!"
"I have business with him."
The two men looked at each other, they contacted someone.
"There's a stranger looking for the boss on business."
"Bring him in."
The call was cut off, Ronald was frisked, his hands raised.
"I'm not an enemy of your group, I don't carry a gun. I'm here to hire the services of your boss."
"He's clean."
Ronald's cell phone and car keys, taken by force, were returned.
"You follow us."
Ronald nodded as the two men led him through a narrow alley. Toward the old construction site of their boss.

Chapter 12: Making Erland a cripple
Ronald followed them into the bar, where some of the men from the group were smoking outside the singing room. They were dressed in dark gray clothes, with prominent snake tattoos on their hands."What are you looking at? Move it! Boss Jefrey is on the second floor."Several men in suits with guns surrounded the second floor, presumably those in charge of guarding the floor."Is that him?""Yes, boss."The dark-haired man with burns on parts of his face crossed his legs. He put out his cigarette, "How much money do you have to come looking for me?"Ronald took out a picture of Erland, "If you can confirm that he is disabled, I'll give you any amount!"Jefrey laughed, "Pft, hahaha, are you serious? You'll pay any amount? No nominal limit?"Ronald took out a blank check, "You can write the amount yourself. But if this plan fails, until the police find out. You will die.""Dead?" Jefrey smiled."Who do you think you are to hurt the boss?" Jefrey's men were angry."Before you kill the boss

Chapter 10 | Major Danger Warning.
"You must be lying! How could Erland have such a large balance! His salary as a factory worker is very low!""If you don't believe me, you can check."Anne's two friends looked at the computer screen in front of the cashier, their eyes perfectly round at the balance of $8,800,000. They were embarrassed.'Did this poor man secretly have a second job all this time? How does he have that much money?''Maybe Erland is lying to us with his shabby appearance. He's actually a rich man hiding his identity.'Erland who could read their hearts smiled, “Count all the groceries of my wife and these two women. It looks like they're daydreaming because they can't pay for their groceries.”“We don't need your money. We'll pay for it ourselves!”The two women hurriedly gave their credit cards, but strangely enough, their credit cards suddenly became unusable."Sorry, your credit card cannot be used for payment. Your card has been blocked by the bank.""What?""Maybe you owe a lot of money to the bank.
Chapter 9| Money from Selling Bitcoins.
Two hours ago, after the incident at the factory, Erland didn't go straight home. He decided to go to the nearest convenience store and buy a cup of ramen noodles and a bottle of soda. He had something to check."How much money did I get when I sold this coin?"Erland opened the system's cash-box menu. It was 160 bitcoins. Erland ruffled his hair, he felt dizzy. How do I convert these bitcoins into dollars?"System, do you know how? I want to exchange these coins for real money! Not virtual money!"[Go to sales menu].Erland was surprised when the blue transparent screen changed to the sales menu. There were many items to buy or sell. This menu was similar to an online store, except that not all items could be sold."Are you serious? There's a menu like that?"Erland tried to touch the cryptocurrency sales image. A wide variety of crypto coins appeared. The price of each coin was listed in world currencies, not just dollars."This is amazing!" Erland exclaimed in amazement. He searche
Chapter 8 | 100 Bitcoins!
Everyone stared at each other, then looked at Erland before bursting into laughter. The workers, including Teddy, thought Erland was out of his mind, crushed by the burdens of his family's life."Hahaha! Erland, you're so ridiculous! You're going to get 100 Bitcoins from Mr. Teddy?""Hey buddy, do you think Mr. Teddy will generously give you Bitcoins? He wouldn't even deign to give you a single dollar!""What does Erland know about Bitcoin anyway? He must be bluffing! Pretending to know about Bitcoin, when in reality he's too dumb to go to college! He only graduated high school! What does he understand?"Teddy, hearing Erland being mocked by the workers, just smiled contentedly, feeling superior because of his education. Teddy was a college graduate, which is why he was able to hold the position of factory foreman now."Enough, Erland, there's no need to be embarrassed to apologize to me. Stop your nonsensical talk. Let me tell you, Bitcoin is a type of cryptocurrency. Your salary i

[Player absorbed bronze combat mode. Defense and attack increased.] Erland could feel a surge of strength spreading throughout his body. He felt his power multiply several times over.Besides feeling lighter, his agility also increased significantly. "Damn! That loser hit us!" "Erland!" shouted the senior leader, enraged. He had just gotten up after being hit by Erland. "Boss! Your teeth are gone!"Two front teeth had fallen to the floor. The senior leader glared at his lost teeth with anger. "That bastard made me lose my teeth. You want to die!" Without thinking, he lunged at Erland, trying to punch him. But before his punch could reach Erland’s face, he was already kicked by Erland. This time, the senior’s body wasn’t just thrown back; his bones were broken.The senior's subordinates, seeing how strong Erland’s attack was, began to back away, keeping their distance out of fear. "Come at me, all of you! Don't be cowards! Haven't you been bullying me all this time because I st
