'Poverty is not a shame, but the lack of respect for oneself and others is.' Dylan pondered.

'You will do anything? Money indeed can buy respect.' Dylan chuckled coltishly.

People say money doesn't buy happiness or respect, well, for Dylan, money have definitely paved the way of him. Respect and power were at his fingertips all because of the money he had acquired.

Dylan's expression remained impassive as he delivered the verdict, "Given your willingness to do anything, I've decided that you'll be taking on janitorial duties from this moment."

With that, he turned on his heel and strode directly into Miss Julian's office, leaving Clara behind without a second glance.

Clara was rooted to the spot, feeling humiliated. She never expected that Dylan was not tempted by her beauty, or he's just not the same with the former shareholders who understood what "I will do anything" means.

"He asked me to become a janitor, Isn't this a demotion? But it was better than getting my image tarnished all over Stone's City." She consoled herself as she left with shame written over her face.

As Dylan approached Miss Julian's office, he heard some heated argument coming from the office. With the cruelty in the tone, it was definitely a man imposing fretful threats.

"If you don't let me have my way now, I'll ruin you and your miserable name. You know what the Woodson's family can do right?" The voice was ladened with threat.

"I don't want to you...!" Julian's voiced tumbled out in a despairing whisper.

"You don't have a choice here and you'll do as I say. Do you know if it wasn't for me, you couldn't last as a Bank Manager. You use what you've to get what you need. Go and ask about other the previous Bank Managers. So now, undress yourself."

"I'm not going to do that. I don't work for you anymore and I'm never going to let anyone have their way with me all because of some position."

Dylan could hear miss Julian's sad voice, it was like she was trying so hard to hold back a torrent of tears.

"Undress now!!! Or I will forcefully take ---"

The door burst open, and Dylan's patience snapped.

He couldn't stomach the sight of the powerful preying on the vulnerable any longer. The memories of his own past humiliations still seared his mind, and he knew he had to act.

"You will not do such a thing! Not to my Bank Manager." Each word was like a sharp razor cutting through the air and piercing through Daniel Woodson's ear.

When Julian saw Dylan, the burden of unshed tears that had welled up on her eyes streamed down uncontrollably.

Dylan wrapped his arms around her, shielding her from harm.

"Did he hurt you?" he asked, his voice low and gentle.

"No..."She shook her head, and responded with a voice laced with sadness.

"So you're the new Chairman, the College student who bought the famous bank in Stone's City. You look too young and inexperienced to fight a Woodson." A wicked smirk extended over his face.

"I never knew a Woodson will use power to intimidate and rape a girl." Dylan responded sarcastically.

"You don't talk about my family like that, do you---"

Dylan cuts instantly with with a fierce visage that induced fear, "I'm disappointed in you. If this goes out that a Woodson try to rape a girl, don't you think that blemish will take forever to be removed."

Daniel was oblivious to Dylan's family background, but the confident tone he used sent a shiver down his spine. He wondered if Dylan might be from one of those influential families rumored to be untouchable, capable of toppling even the most powerful clans with ease.

Daniel's eyes remained fixed on Dylan, his face filled with a mix of fear and shame, as he quietly exited the room.

'He just walked out like that? I thought he's going to cause problem because of how powerful his family is. Oh my God, Dylan is not just ordinary. For him to fret a Woodson means a lot.'

Julian couldn't help but fantasize about Dylan's temperaments. Even though he was in shabby outfits, his top notch confidence accentuate his handsome.

Everything replayed in her mind, and she couldn't help than held firmly to Dylan who was a bit taller than her. Then the part of "Not to my Bank Manager" struck her and she jolted from her fantasy.

"Oh... Uhm, Thank you. You're such a darling and you said something about me being your Bank Manager, you didn't mean that right?"

"I do. I'm just a college student and I might barely have time, so I'm leaving the Bank under your supervision."

"What?! You mean I get to supervise every activity in here?" Her cheek flushed with a deep shade of redness.

"Yes!"

"Mr. Dylan, I won't disappoint you, I promise! "A radiant smile spread across her face and all she could think about was hugging him tight and kissing him till forever. But she had to keep it professional.

After Julian left to get the handover papers, Dylan decided to check the system, but no screen showed up, then he decided to think about it and boom!

Ding!

[ Name: Dylan Bradley ]

[ Balance: $99977989979980 ]

[ Status: Rank 1]

[ Strength: Weak ]

[Power Point: 220]

[Skills Chamber: 0 ]

Dylan ignored all the grey tab and focused on the main scream but his eyes glued to the power points.

"Woah... 221 power points. I can upgrade with that right? How do I level up with that? Isn't this system supposed to be talking to me?"

Dylan was puzzled, but then he decided to touched the power point.

A notification suddenly appeared, indicating that 100 power points had been added to his Strength, upgrading it from Weak to Normal.

Additionally, his RANK increased, moving from 1 to Level 1/10.

He felt a brief surge of heat in his body, followed by a noticeable development of his abdominal muscles.

A few minutes later, he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror inside Julian's office and was astonished to see a more muscular version of himself that accentuated his handsome.

"Whoa, is that really me? I look incredible! The Infinite System is amazing!" He couldn't help but gaze at his reflection with great admiration.

"I need to ditch these old clothes, they don't do justice to my new physique. The world is about to witness a whole new me!"

    The silence that followed the departure of the last emergency vehicle was concerning.Opulent Haven Hotel, usually alive with activity at this hour of the day, had descended into an unusual state of confusion and silence. The staff members moved hurriedly through the corridors, while a few guests stood at a distance, whispering among themselves as they tried to get the complete story what happened.At the reception desk, two female receptionists stood close to each other with their voices barely above a whisper."Did you hear what happened upstairs?" one of them asked, glancing towards the elevators, making sure that nobody was coming from upstairs."I heard there were three men in the suite," the other replied. "Unfortunately, one of them didn't make it.""Jesus Christ!!!" The first receptionist covered her mouth. "In this hotel?""Keep your voice down. The manager has already warned everyone not to discuss it with the guests."A male receptionist seated a little farther down leaned

    Someone tried to kill him, and whoever stood behind the attack was still out there. They might already know that he escaped. They might even be preparing for their next move.He looked down at his hands, remembering the struggle in the suite. He had fought his way through the danger, but surviving an attack wasn't the same as understanding it and that pissed him off.He desperately needs answers, and he needed to know who had been responsible for putting him in that position.The taxi eventually slowed to a stop near the address Rachel had given the driver.For a moment, she remained seated with her fingers tightening around the strap of her bag. She turned to Dylan, looking at him as though she still hadn't fully processed everything that had happened."Thank you, Dylan," she whispered as she swallowed hard and tried to force a small smile that didn't quite hide the emotions in her eyes."I honestly don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't been there." She paused, look

    The taxi moved through the city traffic with its engine humming as the driver navigated the crowded road.Dylan sat beside Rachel in the back seat, his eyes seemed to be staring but his mind was absolutely somewhere else reminiscing about everything that happened.Neither of them had said much since they left the hotel. The events of the day had left too many questions hanging between them, and Dylan wasn't the kind of person who could simply forget something because he had managed to survive it.He will definitely want to see it to the end. Three men had entered his suite with the intention of killing him. That much was clear. But what bothered him was something one of them said.π‘«π’šπ’π’‚π’ π’Šπ’”π’β€™π’• π’Šπ’ 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 π’“π’π’π’ŽDylan replayed the words in his mind.The attackers had been prepared to move.

    By the time Germany reached the underground parking garage, the hotel's security team was heading toward the wrong floor.Someone had redirected the cameras.He didn't know how long the interference would last, and he wasn't interested in finding out. He crossed the garage without looking back, his hand buried inside his jacket where the encrypted phone rested.There was a black-tinted SUV waiting near the exit of the garage and the moment he approached, the rear door opened and Germany climbed inside."Drive." Germany said and the urgency in his voice was quite obvious.The vehicle pulled away before the door had fully shut.For several seconds, none of them spoke a word and the driver watched the road while Germany examined the phone in his hand, turning it over as though he might discover something new by looking at it from another angle."Sir, did you get what you came for?" the driver finally asked."Yes, I got the device, but I can't access it yet." Germany answered casually, hi

    There were mistakes you could afford to make, and then there were mistakes that followed you to the grave. This mission was beginning to look like the latter.The plan had been simple. Get in, retrieve what they needed, eliminate the loose ends, and disappear before anyone realised anything had happened. No evidence and no connection that would ever lead back to them. Killing the receptionist had only made things worse. The woman impersonating her had signed in using the real receptionist's identity that morning, creating the impression that she had reported for duty as usual. But if anyone checked the security footage or questioned the staff, they would soon discover that the real receptionist had never shown up at her post.That discrepancy alone could trigger an investigation. And the deeper investigators dug, the more likely they were to uncover something that should have remained hidden.And the worst part was that Dylan hasn't connected the dots yet.Well, that was the only a

    For a few seconds, the two men struggled.The ring leader was badly injured, but his strength and training hadn't completely left him.The unknown man gritted his teeth and pushed harder while the leader tried to twist free, but his body was already failing him.The blade slowly moved closer and then the unknown man overpowered him and slowly plunged the knife into his chest.The leader's grip finally loosened and his hand slipped from the stranger's worst and fell limply to the floor.For a moment, the man in black remained motionless, watching the last traces of life disappear from the assassin's eyes. Then he pulled the knife free, wiped the blade clean, and returned it to its concealed sheath.He drew in a slow and satisfied breath."One problem solved... Now let's get to the business." He whispered as he crouched beside the body and reached into the dead man's pocket retrieving a smartphone.At first glance, it looked ordinary. No unusual markings and no visible security hardware
