It was already past midday and all Dylan could think of was how to get to the Xpression Fashion Brand company. It one of the biggest fashion Brand in Stone's City.

He needed to dump his old clothes and get some well tailored one. No poor person could actually think of going to Xpression Fashion Brand, unless they are going there to look for a cleaner's job.

"How do I get there on time now!" He stepped forward to the taxi stand with the dispatch bag hanging firmly in his hand.

Just then, a convoy of luxury cars pulled up, the air was filled with the sound of revving engines and the gleam of polished metal. The three red Porsches and the Black vibrant Ferrari with its iconic logo and curved lines seems to leave everyone at wake

A group of muscular men in expensive black suits emboldening confidence and authority emerged from the cars, their presence was so commanding that one could fret at the sight of them.

The contrast between their high-end cars and the rusty cars on the street was striking. The roar of the engines was almost deafening, leaving everyone frozen in awe.

Four of the burly men formed a protective circle around the Ferrari, while one of them carefully opened the door, allowing a dignified man in his 40's to step out with grandeur.

'That's Scott Hudson... Oh my God, I just saw Scott Hudson...' The people watching couldn't help but murmured to them as some of them brought out their phones to capture the moment. It was worth documenting thinking of how great and powerful Mr. Scott is.

A hushed whisper spread through the crowd, with people murmuring to each other in awe.

"He's even more impressive and powerful in person than the rumors suggest."

'If I can just shake hands with him, my life has change completely.'

'He's definitely the legend they say he is.' They couldn't help but admired the obvious display of wealth.

As he emerged from the Ferrari, he seemed to survey his surroundings with a sense of ownership, as if he were the master of his domain.

"Good Day Dylan!" Scott Hudson's approached Dylan with a handshake.

'Oh my god... He just shook hands with that Shabby dude. Man... That lad's life has changed completely. I wished I can just get a little close to him, I'd go on my kneels and beg passionately for a life change.' One of the dude passing by murmured with a stunned expression.

"Mr. Scott! I thought you've gone back to Sterling City." Dylan spoke freely like they have know each other for long.

"You know it a long drive to Sterling City and my private Jet is in Eastern part of Stone City, getting here will take a while, so I'm just taking a walk on Stone City and I just happened to bumped into you." Scott spoke with a smile extended over his face.

Before Dylan could utter another word, Scott spoke with almost a calm voice that even the Guards were shocked. "If you don't mind, can I offer you a ride to anywhere you want to go. I have all the time in the world as far Dylan is involved." He chuckled and Dylan couldn't help but smile too.

Before now, he wouldn't have dared to even approach Mr. Scott's guards, let alone have the influential man himself stop and offer him a ride. It was a surreal experience, and a testament to the drastic transformation his life had undergone.

'This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, Money can indeed buy anything. And I definitely need strong allies if I want to pay back to all those people who has looked down on me.' With a smug on his face, he stepped into the Ferrari's car with Mr. Scott.

"Where are you headed Dylan?"

Just then his old Android phone beeped and it was another message from a W******p group named 'The Tripods' with just three members

"A minute please."

"Don't worry I have all the time to wait." Scott said and Dylan proceeded to check the messages.

BARRY: [ Oh my God, Dylan, why didn't you tell us what happened?]

AUSTIN: [ Hope you're okay? And please don't check the class group? Nor the school group. Please just don't.]

Dylan: [ I'll tell you guys everything that happened today when I come back to school hostel. And why shouldn't I check the class group nor school group? ]

Dylan couldn't resist asking, but after receiving no response, he was compelled to check the class group chat.

To his dismay, he found himself being tagged in numerous anonymous messages. The comments were vicious and hurtful.

"Dylan is a total loser."

"He's just a cleaner at Desmond's house, and to think that he could keep Ashley when good and wealthy folks like Desmond exist. What a pathetic waste of space Dylan is."

"I heard he's been begging for scraps from Desmond's table.... Hahaha, No wonder he's so desperate to cling to anyone who'll give him attention."

"Dylan's got no future ahead of him. He's just a lowlife who'll always be stuck in the gutter."

"Who would have thought that a cleaner could be dating Ashley? Dylan needs to get back to scrubbing toilets where he belongs."

"I bet Ashley agreed to date him because she feels sorry for him. Poor thing, she really deserves so much better than a loser like Dylan."

"Dylan's just a joke. He thinks he's all high and mighty just because he's got a girlfriend, but really, he's just a pathetic little boy playing dress-up."

"Someone should tell Dylan that being a cleaner isn't something to be proud of. He's just embarrassing himself by trying to act like he's one of us."

Dylan's eyes widened in shock and hurt as he scrolled through the messages. The anonymous messages was even hosted by the entire Faculty, but it seems like all attention was fixated on him. He felt like he had been punched in the gut.

'Desmond must have done this. If my group Chat only is the getting heated like this. What about the School group chat?'

Dylan's face twisted in anger and hurt as he was about typing a response. But the message that came from The Tripods Group interrupted him.

BARRY: [ Dylan, Just don't say anything. Don't react! And Why don't you come to Opulent Haven Hotel, I will treat the Tripods to a meal. We're waiting for you. ]

Dylan has always wanted to go to a 5 star hotel, he even planned with the Tripods to take Ashely there to celebrate her birthday and Barry was eager to help since he was the one with a wealthy family among them.

Now Barry has proposed to take the Tripods to a 10 star hotel. Even though it felt like a dream come true, he just couldn't wait to take his revenge on Desmond and all these that had humiliated him.

With his anger fading away, He turned to Mr. Scott, but the man was just glued to his phone. Mr Scott glanced at him with an smiley face. "Have you thought of a place to go Dylan? I'm ready to take you there."

"That's so nice of you Mr. Scott!" He expressed. "Let's go to Opulent Haven Hotel."

    Dylan stared at the message for a moment and his hand instantly curled into a fist.The more he read, the more the fury burning hot inside him. His body was running at its peak at the moment. It was like every skill in his body was activated at once, but it was the surge of the new upgrade.Focus...!!!AndLethal Rage...!!!Was all written all over his face.โ€œHe wants a final reckoning?โ€ he muttered coldly with a steamed up face.โ€œThen Iโ€™ll give them one.โ€Austin noticed his stillness and rage. โ€œWhoโ€™s that? Whatโ€™s going on?โ€Dylanโ€™s phone screen dimmed as he slid it into his pocket. โ€œItโ€™s nothing you need to worry about... I will handle it.โ€โ€œNothing....?!โ€ Austinโ€™s voice cracked. โ€œYou just got a text from someone and all of a sudden your face is flaming up in anger, and Nicoleโ€™s being threatened! And you're telling me it's nothing? What the hell is happening, Dylan?โ€Dylan finally looked at him, and for a moment, Austin froze.His friendโ€™s eyes that were normally warm but now they we

    Dylan looked down at his body and he could feel the systemโ€™s upgrades had already begun altering him physically. His muscles had become much denser and his skin faintly glowed. Every blood his heart pump was like a surge of energy invigorating his body. Even Dylan himself was amazed with his reflection in the window. Indeed, the system has morphed him into a superior version of himself.Then....BAM...!!!Instantly, the door burst open.โ€œDylan?!โ€Austin stormed in with his face flushed with fear. But the moment his eyes landed on Dylan, that fear twisted into pure confusion. His mouth was slightly open with his eyes darting as if trying to make sense of what he was seeing.Confusion wasnโ€™t just on Austin's face... Confusion was his face. Anyone who looked at him could see it written there loud and clear.โ€œWhat... what is this?โ€ Austin muttered, taking a cautious step forward. โ€œDylanโ€ฆ what happened to you?โ€Dylan turned slowly with calmness. The glow from the upgrade instantly faded

    "Is the wealth really infinite? There's no end to the upgrade?" Dylan was just wondering and scrutinizing the whole system until another notification popped in.โ˜… AI ASSISTANT UNLOCKED (LEVEL 1)โ˜…Available Functions:โ€ข Threat detection (Basic level)โ€ข Skill-synergy suggestion (Basic level)โ€ข Basic TasksNOTE:::Full access to the AI Assistant is currently restricted.

Until then, current AI capacity remains in a limited operational state."An AI Assistant? You mean likeโ€ฆ a voice actually talking to me?" Dylan asked with a smile slowly creeping across his face"YES!" a bold text instantly appeared on the screen.โ€œWow, this is awesome.โ€ Dylan thought to himself, but a wild smile masked his face like someone who just hit a jackpot. Actually, this was more than a jackp

    โ€œYes...? Are you seriously just going to stand there and say nothing?โ€ Austin raised an eyebrow, half-laughing in disbelief. โ€œCome on, manโ€ฆ spill it already.โ€His mind was already racing, practically begging Dylan to just confirm what he had started to suspect about him having an origin of some insanely rich, secretive and aristocratic family with connections all over the world. That would at least explain the mansion, the car, the fighting skills, and the mysterious aura he constantly gave off.โ€œI mean, at this point, you could tell me you run the country and I wouldnโ€™t even flinch,โ€ Austin added, folding his arms. โ€œSo whatโ€™s the truth? Who are you really?โ€ Austin pressed on.Dylan had made up his mind to tell him and only him. But it's not possible to tell Austin and Barry doesn't get to know in the end. They tell one another things and whatever he says now will be circulated through the Tripods.The thought crushed on him.No....Not yet...!Some truths are too heavy and too dang

    Austin stepped through the massive doorway and his feet got frozen. The gloss floors and the walls adorned with modern art seems like something of a luxury magazine. Something that can never exist in the real world. His eyes swept across the grand interior and he was forced to stare at Dylan again."Is this for real? Or am I just imagining things?" Austin just couldn't stop asking questions."You can't picture something you haven't seen before... You told me that, remember?" Dylan said with a wide grin spreading across his face as he tucked his hands casually into his pockets.Austin raised a brow, smirking. "Oh, so now you're quoting me? You didnโ€™t even believe that when I said it.""Saying it doesnโ€™t mean I bought it. People imagine what theyโ€™ve never seen all the timeโ€ฆ Itโ€™s called imaginative thinking, genius." Dylan shrugged with a playful glint in his eyes."Well, look whoโ€™s suddenly sounding like a professor."They both laughed genuinely that it seemed to echo softly through t
