The Strongest Billionaire

Chapter 12

Rini quickly came to her senses. She shook her head, trying to process everything she had seen—making sure it had really happened and wasn’t just a dream. She even rubbed her eyes to confirm it was real.

Albert, seeing that, only smiled. In his heart he said, “If it weren’t for this damn System, I’d be known to the world by now! There are tons of jewelry like this in the dimensional storage. To me it’s worthless, but to a woman like her it must be extremely valuable. I’ll make Rini acknowledge me!”

“Albert, this…” Rini’s hands trembled as she looked at the jewelry Albert showed her.

Albert took Rini’s hand and handed her the jewelry in his hand. “If you want, just take it all. I don’t need it.”

Rini immediately refused. “No, no. This is too valuable. You should keep it safe. But…” She studied Albert closely, then asked curiously, “You have so much luxury jewelry—why are you a bodyguard for Miss Astrid? And they say you used to be a beggar. Don’t tell me you…”

Albert was very excited when Rini seemed about to guess his status. He waited, smiling happily.

“You stole it?!” Rini continued, eyes wide.

Albert’s shoulders immediately slumped. He wanted to be acknowledged, but women still didn’t understand.

If only there were a woman who fully believed him when he said he was actually a billionaire, it would be easy for him to enjoy life.

“If you don’t want to accept it, don’t accuse people carelessly. Just so you know, I’m actually the richest person in the world,” Albert said as he put the two pieces of jewelry Rini rejected back into dimensional storage.

Rini looked at Albert carefully. Then she chuckled softly before speaking. “Even though I don’t know where you got that jewelry, I believe you’re not a bad person. Thank you. I promise I won’t sell this necklace and I’ll take good care of it.”

“It’s already yours. If you sell it, you won’t need to work here anymore,” Albert reminded her.

Rini shook her head. Holding the necklace, she smiled. “This is the first gift I’ve ever received from a man, and I still want to work for Miss Astrid. Anyway, how about I get you some snacks?”

Albert’s eyes lit up immediately. “There are snacks? Where?”

Rini giggled. Just a moment ago Albert had been so arrogant, saying he was the richest man in the world, but the moment he heard there were snacks he was like a puppy begging for food.

“Wait a moment…” Rini quickly went into the kitchen. She paused briefly, glanced at Albert, and murmured softly while holding her necklace again, “I don’t know where you got this jewelry, but to me you’re the best man I’ve ever known.”

After saying that, Rini hurried to get the snacks she had already prepared for Albert.

Meanwhile, Albert, who was sitting on the steps by the kitchen’s back door, received a notification from the System.

[Congratulations, Rini Wulandari’s acknowledgment of the Host has reached 5%.

Total Assets you can use now: 7%.]

Hearing the System’s notification, Albert immediately stood up enthusiastically. “Damn System, you’re finally useful!”

[Sir, I have been useful from the beginning. It’s just that you are too stupid when it comes to women.]

“Damn it— I just praised you and you’re already insulting me?!” Albert roared angrily. He took a breath, then gave an order, “Show me what assets I can use now.”

[Yes, Sir.

Assets you can use now:

1 luxury Mawar Villa.

10 sports cars.

10 limited-edition watches.

Yanaga Entertainment.

Yanaga Automotive.

100 thousand dollars.]

Seeing the list on the holographic screen, Albert’s expression turned irritated again. “Hah?! Again you’re not giving me money, damn System!”

[Sir, as I suspected, you really are too stupid; because you have lived in poverty for too long, it was a waste for me to increase your intelligence. From those two companies alone, you could rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in profit per year, which would go into your Bank account.]

“Ssss….” Damar was about to get angry because the System called him stupid, but he held it in, trying to digest the sentence properly. “That’s true too. If I need money, I can just call those two companies, and I can also sell the sports car and those watches. Why didn’t I think that far? Could it be I really became stupid because I’ve lived too modestly?”

The System sounded as if it let out a sigh.

[So you’ve finally realized your own stupidity as well, Sir.]

“Shut up, bastard!” Albert barked immediately.

In an instant, the System’s hologram screen disappeared. Albert rubbed his hands together. “Now I already have money, and I can also spoil women as I please. With my current looks, what woman could reject me?”

He laughed happily; at last, after three years of living modestly, the time had finally come to enjoy the wealth he had amassed all this time.

“Albert! Are you crazy?!” Rini scolded suddenly, making Albert jolt in surprise and immediately turn around with a bitter smile.

Albert saw the snacks in Rini’s hand; he quickly grabbed them and sat back down, then ate them ravenously.

Rini, seeing that, could only shake her head. “I’m overthinking it. If he really is that rich, how could he possibly eat snacks like that so greedily,” she muttered to herself while accompanying Albert as he enjoyed the snacks.

At the same time, Astrid received a report from Firman that Albert’s identity truly was nothing more than a Beggar who often wandered around the sidewalks of the capital city center; there were even several CCTV videos showing Albert rummaging through trash bins.

“This is strange… his identity is only a Beggar, but why could he know I would get a contract from Yanaga Corporation, and why is he so confident he can help me?”
