Trillionaire's POV: Obtaining $10,000,000 per quest

A bet with the trash

Zed stood there calmly after hearing the words of Mia, his hands casually tucked in his pockets, and his gaze fixed on Mia and her friends. The expression on his face was unreadable as he glanced at them.

One of the security men walked towards Zed, his hulking figure dwarfing him instantly.

"Sir, I'm sorry but you have to leave now." The guard stated firmly.

"And why should I leave? I thought this mall was open to everyone?" Zed asked calmly, his gaze never leaving Mia.

"You're not a customer here, Zed, you're only a creepy stalker. You say you are not stalking me and you're only here to shop...tell me, how would a trash like you afford the goods that are sold here?!" Carol spat, her tone filled with disdain as she glared at Zed.

"She's right. You already lost your job in my father's company. We all know the Eclipse industries has been the one providing everything for you, and now that you have been fired you are a nobody. You are a now worthless trash!" Mia retorted.

"Is that what you think? I'm trash? A nobody?" Zed asked softly.

"That's what you are...a worthless stalker. In case you haven't heard, I'm engaged and I will be getting married soon. So just stop stalking me and move on with your miserable life!" Mia spat, her tone laced with disdain and disgust.

"Don't cause a scene here, gentleman. Leave now so I won't have to throw you out." The security guard spoke up in a commanding tone.

"I'm here to shop, and I won't leave without getting the stuff I came for." Zed replied coldly as he shifted his gaze towards the guard and glared right into his eyes.

Zed heard a soft chiming sound in his head as a blue holographic screen popped up in front of him.

[A compulsory quest has arrived]

[Quest information: Host seems to be in a situation where his wealth is being questioned by people below him. The system wants the host to prove to them that he isn't a worthless trash. The system wants you to purchase goods with $2,000,000.]

[Failure: If the host fails to complete the quest he'll lose half of the money that was given to him in the first quest.]

Zed glanced at the screen, and as he read the information written boldly on it a smirk appeared on his face. After reading it all he dismissed the screen and shifted his gaze back to the security guard who was about to drag him out.

"I wonder what your manager would say or do when he finds out you threw out a customer who came to buy goods of two million dollars." Zed stated confidently.

Hearing the words of Zed, the eyes of everyone there widened in disbelief.

"Wha..wh.. what did you just say?" The guard stuttered, disbelief evident on his face.

"You heard me right... gentleman." Zed replied.

"Don't listen to him! He's lying!" Mia retorted. "There's no way this man has that type of money in his account. Even if he does there's no way he'll just throw it all away in a shopping mall.. only those who are madly rich can spend like that, and he's not rich!"

"Are you trying to deceive me, young man?!" The security guard voiced out in anger.

"Why will I deceive you?" Zed stated. "Why don't you allow me to pick the item I want, and if I fail to pay you throw me out? But if I do pay they will have to beg me on their knees first before you throw them out." Zed added audibly.

"Is that a bet?" Carol asked.

"There's no way you'll be able to pay such an amount, so you're on." Mia bellowed.

Zed smiled and nodded before walking away to begin his shopping. As he walked around the mall picking the items he wanted the guards made sure he stayed close to him. The reason was because he didn't trust Zed, and he had to make sure he steals nothing while he was at it.

As Zed picked the most expensive items in the mall he noticed something like a countdown floating beside him.

[$700,000]

[$1,100,000]

He kept walking around the mall, picking several items. He made sure he picked the most expensive ones so he'll reach the goal on time.

He finally picked the last item which was a bottle of perfume that costs thousands of dollars.

[$2,000,000]

When he was done picking the bags there were so many that the guard had to assist him as they headed towards the cashier to record it and also pay the bills.

Mia and Carol also walked towards the cashier. Both of them couldn't wait for Zed to get humiliated.

As the cashier calculated the amount of the goods in the bags, Zed stood in front of her, and his eyes scanning the mall. He noticed that the rest of the people who came here to shop already paused what they were doing.

The amount of items Zed bought caught their attention, and they were all eager to see if a poor looking man like him would settle the bill. Most of them knew he wouldn't be able to pay for it and he was only a man seeking attention from the rich folks in the mall.

A few moments later, the cashier was done calculating and she shifted her gaze towards him.

"Everything you bought costs $2,000,000. How do you wish to pay? Cash? Card? Or transfer?" She asked.

"Transfer." Zed replied as he pulled out his phone. The cashier gave him the account number and he began to make the transaction. "Done." A few seconds later Zed spoke up, his phone stretched forward, and the receipt of two million dollars was displaying on the screen.

Everyone in the mall was starstruck. Their eyes widened in shock, and a look of disbelief evident on their faces.

"Don't fall for his tricks! What he shows you is a fake receipt! He didn't actually send anything! You have to get confirmation from your manager!" Mia voiced out, and the rest of the people backed her up.

A few moments after she said those words, a young man in black suit walked towards them swiftly.

"Mirabel! I just got a credit alert of two million dollars!" The man in black suit blurted out.
