The Super Rich System

Aren't You Ashamed Of Yourself?

Daniel, the middle-aged owner of the shop, felt his legs tremble. Marvin noticed it. He also noticed the fear in Daniel’s eyes.

“P-please… give us some more time… We don’t have the money right now. But next week… maybe we will. So, please–”

Whack!!!

Baron, the man who had been speaking so loudly earlier, lifted a nearby chair and slammed it onto the floor. Two of its legs snapped.

“I’ve run out of patience, Daniel. Pay your debt to our boss now, or we’ll destroy this lousy shop of yours. We’ll flatten it to the ground!” Baron said.

Marvin observed Baron from the corner of his eye. A scar running across his right cheek made Baron look intimidating. And the other men behind him exuded a similar evil aura.

But Marvin was not intimidated at all. He was as calm as could be.

The increase in physical strength gifted to him by the system had automatically boosted his courage as well.

“P-please don’t do that. This shop is all we have. We built it from scratch. We’re sure it will be bustling with customers soon–”

“Shut up!” Baron snapped, stepping closer to Daniel and grabbing him by the collar. “We decide when you pay. If you can’t pay now, shut your mouth and watch us destroy your shop!”

Baron snapped his fingers. The menacing men behind him began kicking chairs and tables.

“Dad, what’s happening?”

The slender woman with a ponytail came out from the kitchen, startled to see the menacing men ransacking the shop. Her pupils widened when she saw Daniel being shoved by Baron, his back hitting the floor.

“Dad!”

The slender woman rushed to Daniel, helping him sit up. She then lifted her face and sneered, glaring at Baron with pure rage.

“How could you do this to my father! You truly have no conscience!” the slender woman shouted, tears streaming from her left eye.

Marvin took a sip of his drink, scanning Baron and the men who came with him. Seeing the situation escalating, it seemed he had to intervene soon.

“Well, well, well. Your beautiful daughter is finally out, is she, Daniel?” Baron said, placing one hand on his hip and the other under his chin.

“How about this,” he continued. “I could give you a few extra days. But, as collateral, you must hand over your beautiful daughter to me. I’ll take her and do fun things with her until you can pay off your debt. What do you say, Daniel? Fair enough, right?”

Baron laughed, followed by the menacing men behind him. The slender woman’s face turned crimson. Daniel, having managed to stand up with his daughter’s help, looked up at Baron and shook his head.

“Don’t hurt my daughter,” he said, coughing. “If this shop must be destroyed, so be it. But don’t touch my daughter!”

Baron snorted, glaring. “I told you to shut your mouth if you can’t pay!”

Baron strode forward, preparing to punch Daniel. Daniel and his daughter’s eyes widened in fear.

But just as Baron’s fist was about to hit Daniel’s face, Marvin caught his hand.

“You bring your thugs here, attack a woman and a sickly middle-aged man. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Marvin taunted, staring sharply at Baron.

Baron glared back, his eyes widening again. “Who the hell are you? Don’t meddle in other people’s business, or you’ll receive… Aaaarghhhhhh! My hand!!!”

Marvin tightened his grip on Baron’s hand and twisted it. Baron screamed in pain, falling to his knees on one leg.

“I am about to invest my money here. Clearly, this is my business. You are mistaken if you think I will just stand by while you destroy my shop and hurt my employees!” Marvin said firmly, releasing Baron’s hand with a slam.

“Ouch!”

Baron fell and his right hand hit the floor. He curled up, clutching his right hand. His face turned red from the pain.

“Y-you… you don’t know who you’re messing with…”

Thud!

Marvin kicked Baron in the stomach. The kick was so powerful that Baron’s body shifted several meters forward. Baron then vomited blood. He couldn’t say anything more.

“All of you, listen carefully!” Marvin said loudly. “This man’s debt will be paid within a week, with interest. Now, leave and tell your boss that! Don’t let me beat every one of you until you’re bruised and battered.”

A mysterious aura emanated from Marvin’s body as he spoke. The menacing men didn’t dare to approach. Despite being outnumbered, they realized that Marvin was far stronger than them. The proof was Baron – the strongest among them – being taken down by Marvin so easily.

Finally, they helped Baron stand up and supported him as they left. One of them glanced back at Marvin before closing the door. Marvin gave him a very cold stare.

After the menacing men left the shop, the slender woman fell to her knees. She covered her face with both hands, sobbing.

“Thank you, Sir. You saved us. Ah, no. You saved us and this shop. Thank you so much!” Daniel said, bowing repeatedly to Marvin.

Marvin held Daniel’s shoulders, asking him to stop. “I’m sorry if I acted late. I should have been able to drive them away before they damaged the chairs and tables.”

“It’s okay, Sir. We are already very grateful for your help. But… how can we repay your kindness?”

Marvin smiled wryly and shook his head. “I told you, I’m going to invest my money here. That means this shop is mine too. I’m just doing what I have to do.”

Daniel looked at Marvin with teary eyes. “So, you’re really going to invest in our shop, Sir?”

“Yes, that’s right. Five million dollars, as I told you earlier. Can you please provide your bank account number?”
