Chapter 10
The glass towers of the financial district stood over the city like jagged teeth, reflecting the gray afternoon sky. The blacked-out SUV moved slowly through the heavy downtown traffic, and Adam watched the digital ticker tapes scrolling across the sides of the buildings. Red and green numbers flashed constantly. They marked the rise and fall of fortunes and the constant churning of capital that defined this part of the world. For twenty-two years, this place had been a fortress he could only look at from the outside—a world of ivory towers that considered people like him invisible. Now, the tinted windows of the car felt less like a shield and more like the glass of a cockpit. He wasn't a spectator anymore; he was the one choosing the targets.Elias steered the heavy vehicle toward Rick Global Plaza. The building was a massive pillar of steel and blue glass, sitting on some of the most expensive land in the city. It was the very legacy Charles spent his life bragging about; a massiv

The lecture hall stayed quiet for the next forty minutes. Professor Halloway tried to keep his cool, but his voice was shaky. He kept glancing at the front row, where Adam sat perfectly still in his charcoal suit. The whole room felt different; the social ladder everyone had climbed for years had been kicked over in a single moment.Adam didn't take notes. He didn't have to. With the Eye of the Investor active, the math Halloway scribbled on the whiteboard looked like a joke. Adam could see the flaws in the formulas. They didn't account for the kind of brutal power a trillion dollars could bring. To Adam, this wasn't a lesson anymore; it was proof that he had moved far beyond this room.Behind him, the tension was thick. He could hear Charles’s fingers tapping rapidly against a mahogany desk. Every few minutes, Charles let out a sharp, ragged breath. The boy who had spent his life looking down on people was suddenly finding it hard to breathe.Olivia was worse. Adam could feel her sta
Chapter 8
The SUV moved through the final stretch of the University District, the engine purring as it navigated the congestion near the campus gates. Adam was sitting in the back, his eyes tracing the skyline he had walked under for years, but his mind was elsewhere. He was still adjusting to the way his new lungs took in air; deep, easy, and without the familiar wheeze of his old frame.​The car slowed as it approached the final busy intersection before the private faculty entrance. Adam looked out, and just then, a white transit van pulled up in the lane beside them. It was a common sight in a city this size, but as his gaze fell on the rear doors, his breath hitched.​Printed in bold, golden ink was a soaring eagle logo. Underneath it, the words: Rick Global Logistics.​In an instant, the bright morning sun seemed to wash out into a cold, artificial white. The dry street in his vision warped, shimmering into the oil-slicked, rain-drenched asphalt of that night. It was a sensory overload, a

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing the wide marble floor of the lobby.It felt entirely different now; the last time Adam had been here, he was a desperate man rushing against a system countdown. Now, he viewed the lobby not with awe, but with the cold eyes of a man who could buy the entire building.The morning shift was in full swing, and the air smelled of expensive lilies and floor wax.Adam stepped out, his posture naturally upright. The tailored shirt Sophia had brought him felt like a second skin, the high-quality fabric moving with him instead of bunching up like his old clothes used to. When he walked across the floor, he noticed a shift in the environment. The bellhops and desk clerks, people who would usually look right through someone like the old Adam, were now tracking his movement. They didn't see a struggling student. They saw a high-value guest whose very presence demanded a cleared path.Sophia was waiting near the grand entrance, clutching a s

Marcus Sterling bowed his head one last time, his eyes lingering on the closed door of the suite with dread and respect. Once he heard the latch click, the manager finally allowed his posture to relax, though his expression remained grim."Those idiots," Marcus scoffed under his breath, leaning back and exhaling a long, weary sigh. "Fortunately, he stayed calm, but the hotel could have been ruined by a lawsuit before sunrise. I had better ensure he wants for nothing." He turned on his heel and moved quickly toward the service elevators, already barking orders into his radio to summon the staff.Inside the two-hundred-thousand-dollar suite, the silence was heavy. Adam didn't feel the rush of victory or the thrill of his new status. Instead, a bone-deep exhaustion settled over him. He stood in the center of the plush carpet, his legs finally giving out. He slid down the wall until he hit the floor, his breath coming in ragged hitches. The Absolute Authority aura had vanished the second
Chapter 5
The pounding on the door wasn't just wood on wood; it was the sound of Adam’s old life trying to drag him back into the dirt. He stood in the center of the $200,000-a-night suite, the blue and red strobe lights of the police cruisers below dancing like ghosts on the ceiling.[New quest incoming: Escape the setup.][Time remaining: 00:04:15]Adam looked at the balcony, then back at the door. If he jumped onto that maintenance rig, he was admitting he was a thief. He’d be a fugitive before he even had a chance to buy a decent pair of shoes. He looked at the massive 8K screen on the wall, where a local gossip stream was playing a loop of him standing at the check-in desk. The camera had been tucked into the lapel of the second receptionist; a hidden vlog camera she used to farm drama for her followers. The caption read: “Cringe Alert: Watch this slob try to bypass VIP security with a ghost-fingerprint.”The comments section was a sewer. “He looks like he smells like sour milk.”“Arrest
