Unlimited Wealth System : Multiplier Compensation

Chapter 11

[Your daily task has been completed.]

“Wow, you truly are incredible, Master Logan. You've changed so much—it’s honestly amazing.”

Miya spoke excitedly. Floating nearby, she could see Logan’s strong back as he pushed himself through yet another intense training session.

Logan grabbed a small towel and wiped the sweat from his face. He had been training every day, and five thousand push-ups was absolutely insane. His breathing was still heavy from the exertion.

[Congratulations. You have received a gift from the Goddess.]

Logan immediately frowned when he noticed the blurry figure of a brown-haired man. But before he could say anything, Miya suddenly shouted right beside his ear.

“By Goddess Sylvaris! That's an incredible hair ribbon!”

Miya's eyes became glassy as she stared at the ribbon in Logan's hand. She simply couldn't ignore something like this, even though she had a strange feeling that the gift might be completely useless to him.

“What kind of ribbon is this?” Logan asked hesitantly.

Luckily, Miya possessed an extraordinary amount of knowledge.

“This is Goddess Sylvaris's ribbon. It's an extraordinary artifact—one that was once used by the Goddess herself!”

[Goddess Sylvaris's Hair Ribbon can make people admire its giver more.]

Logan immediately looked away when he caught sight of the notification that had suddenly appeared before him.

His expression quickly brightened. It felt as though he had just hit the jackpot.

At that very moment, he knew exactly what he was going to do with the ribbon.

They were still inside the grand hall of the Steel family's banquet.

Marcus Steel's words continued to echo throughout the room. The declaration he had made had left everyone stunned.

Even Logan himself was shocked.

“...The eighteenth century? Wow,” he muttered inwardly.

However, amid the astonishment, the two men who had been shocked only moments ago now found themselves unable to accept it.

“Sir, no. I'm certain it can't be something that valuable.”

“This can't be true. That ribbon looks like a cheap—”

Before Frans could finish his sentence, Marcus's slap silenced him.

The entire hall fell silent for a moment before Marcus spoke again.

“I know exactly what it is. I'm a collector of artifacts related to Goddess Sylvaris, and this is an incredible treasure.”

His voice trembled as he spoke, as though the discovery had genuinely touched his heart.

Diana, who had heard her father's words, was now curious about the extraordinary ribbon. Slowly, she stepped closer to get a better look.

Meanwhile, the jaws of the two men who had been arguing moments ago tightened.

Nathan couldn't simply let this go. Besides, as he looked at Diana, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was.

He swallowed hard.

“Even so, that gift still can't compare to the Blue Lake I gave.”

He recalled how his gift had drawn admiring gasps from the crowd.

Marcus laughed.

“Of course it can surpass it. This is a historical artifact that had disappeared for centuries!”

“Wow, really? So it's something that extraordinary?”

“That man must have an incredible background.”

The whispers about Logan's gift grew louder throughout the hall.

As Logan's heart filled with satisfaction for having chosen the perfect gift for this man, another feeling rose within him.

He wanted to strike back at the two men who had tried to humiliate him just moments ago.

“Ah, yes. Your Blue Lake gift isn't actually that fantastic, because you don't own any of the central area. All you bought was a name certificate without ownership rights.”

He had been waiting for the right moment to say that.

Back when he was still helping Blake with company matters, he had often heard about name certificates without ownership rights being used for scams and empty displays of wealth.

As soon as Logan's words sank in, everyone immediately turned to look at Nathan and Frans.

The two men's faces turned red with embarrassment. The admiration they had hoped to gain had completely slipped away.

“Fraud!”

“You really are a fraud!”

Without another word, the two men lunged at Logan from different directions.

Marcus, who was nearby, intended to pull Logan out of the way. But before he could react, Logan effortlessly dodged both punches and then drove his fists straight into the men's stomachs.

“UGH!”

Their cries of pain echoed through the hall. A second later, both men collapsed onto the floor.

The banquet hall fell silent in an instant. Neither of them could get back up.

Then the silence was shattered by Marcus's booming laughter.

“Hahaha! I knew all along that you were an extraordinary young man!”

He slapped Logan on the back and rubbed his shoulder enthusiastically.

Logan simply smiled. His gaze quickly shifted as he noticed a young woman approaching them.

Diana.

She was even more beautiful up close than she had appeared from a distance.

“Now drag them out of here,” Marcus ordered the guards standing nearby.

No one stepped forward to help Nathan or Frans. They were immediately escorted out of the hall, and Logan was certain that their future would be rather bleak from this point on.

“Dad,” Diana finally called out to her father.

With how quickly the situation had changed, Marcus immediately turned his attention to his daughter, remembering the true purpose of the banquet.

“Ah, yes. This is a wonderful gift. You should wear it, Diana,” he said as he handed her the ribbon Logan had given.

At that moment, Logan felt a little nervous.

He wanted to know what would happen next.

He watched Diana's every movement.

Then, as she placed the ribbon in her hair, a notification appeared before him.
