Vince Hutchinson: Rise To Wealth

A Billion Dollars Richer

CHAPTER FIVE

Vince and Emma stood at Emma's car after finishing their meals at the restaurant. She said while grinning. "Why do you act like that?" 

He exclaimed, "What!"  

"Are you serious right now?" She laughed. 

Vince uttered after chuckling. A heartfelt "Thank you!" 

"I appreciate the lunch. You truly brightened my day! You have no idea how much this means to me. He was grateful.

Emma wanted to laugh, but she smiled when she noticed how much the young man appreciated her kind gesture. 

A smile that can win the hearts of thousands of men. 

"If I were in your position, wouldn't you do that for me?" It was her.

Vince gulped down uncomfortably; he wasn't sure he could have assisted Emma if he had been in her position. Then, while still exhaling, he murmured, "Who knows?" 

"I don't know if I would have done that, but I won't lie, people have different personalities, and characters," Vince said.

He added with a sardonic smirk, "But when I reach to your position or rank then I would know how to feel or behave if I were in your shoes. 

"You're right!" She agreed.

"People think in various ways. If it were anybody else, I would simply respond in the same way. What if we are friends? I also had to pay for what I did previously." She clarified. 

 "Emma, would you like to be my friend then?"

He was genuine when he said that he had no idea what had drawn him to her. 

Additionally, the idea of being turned down caused his heart to pound frantically. 

If beauty is the deciding factor, Emma is more attractive than his ex-girlfriend Camilla. Emma was trustworthy and loyal to him for the little time he had spent with her. 

As opposed to that,

His friend? Emma considered what she would gain from him if she agreed to become his friend. What does she think of Vince considering his humble upbringing? Without a doubt, he is kind, charming, and even attractive, yet the reality is 

Will she be secure as his friend? 

Will there not be naysayers? She came for a noble family, and wouldn't want to bring any reproach upon them. 

She turned to face Vince once again, tempted to say no to his request, but his disappointed expression made her think twice.

"I agreed with everything you said. Even our backgrounds are different. The wealthy will always associate with the wealthy and not with the poor, as was implied."

"So I completely understand," he said, speaking through his sorrow. 

"Nah! You don't need to say that, I genuinely would love to be your friend."

Emma, the granddaughter of a prominent Manchester figure who adores being his friend, grinned at him. He cannot be happier than this. 

"Wow! Really!? He enthusiastically embraced her and exclaimed, "You just made my day, Emma. 

Emma, on the other hand, was equally as shocked because she didn't think the person she had earlier ripped his clothes for would end up becoming her friend. But she couldn' help but smile while blushing as she noticed how happy his lovely face was. 

"I'd have to go right now. Would you like to accompany me?" Then she opened the car door after asking. 

[Tell her No, there is still an issue to settle.] 

After hearing the system, Vince furrowed his brow. searching for the ideal lie to tell her. "I'd love to, but my friend's house is not far away"

Would you mind giving me your phone number, please?" He kindly enquire. 

"Sure!"

The woman then provided Vince with her mobile phone number. She then climbed inside her car. "Be good!" 

"Sure!" Emma only grinned as she pulled out of the garage, while Vince said, "I'll give you a call."

After Emma's departure, Vince was eager to see the system panel. His heart was pounding wildly. Fear that the system won't be accurate and dependable

Before his eyes, the machine beeped and popped up.

TING!

[Mission successful!] 

[Medium Mission: Completed]

[Congratulations on completing your first mission! 5 Billion dollars and 4 points had been awarded!] 

Even though Vince was surprised when he first arrived at the Hologram, he still had his doubts. 

[Would you prefer the entire sum to be deposited into your account?]

As the system wrote, he reads it.  "Hmm! How about attempting $1 million? He remarked, trying to determine whether the system would actually credit his bank account. "You know just for a  start," he added.  

[Withdrawal Processing…Please, Be Patient.]

[20%, 40%, 60%, 70%, 8o%, 90%, 100%]

[While awaiting the receiver. Reciever acknowledged.] 

[3...2...1...Transaction Completed]

When the system beeped, Vince was already perspiring a lot. He also went a few minutes without receiving an alert. He was starting to doubt the Hologram. 

SNOOZE!!

Instead of the system, the notification flashed on the cellphone he had been gripping tightly. He clicked on the message while his hand was trembling. 

Next, he read;

[Your account that ended with XXXXXX6154 had been credited with the sum of 1 million dollars] 

He stared at the notification for a moment before his heart seized and temporarily stopped pumping. 

"WTF?!"

THUD!!

When Vince saw the notification, he stumbled to the ground and looked shocked and incredulous. 

His heart was filled with a tinge of excitement as tears of joy streamed from his eyes. Who would have believed he would be able to see $1,000,000 in his account.?

He regained consciousness and rose from the ground. "Wow!" He murmured, then quickly logged into his account to make sure the alert wasn't an audio message. 

To his surprise, though, the account was looking back at him with a balance of $1,000,000 in it. 

"Fuck! I should have believed in this system. This is absolutely true."

"Okay, let's do it this way!" He said, still feeling anxious. "Transfer a billion dollars into my account," Vince asked the system once more to confirm that he wasn't dreaming. 

The System immediately made another notification sound.

[Withdrawal Processing…Please, Be Patient.]

[20%, 40%, 60%, 70%, 8o%, 90%, 100%]

[While awaiting the receiver... Receiver acknowledged] 

[3...2...1...Transaction Completed]

SNOOZE!!

His phone immediately made another notification sound. It arrived quicker than before. 

Next, he read;

[Your account that ended with XXXXXX6154 had been credited with the sum of 1 billion dollars] 

"Wow! It's true."

"It's absolutely true. I've gained $1 billion in wealth." Without caring about the weird looks from onlookers, he yelled. 

He is now a Billion Dollars richer!

"What is wrong with him, exactly? He appeared to be insane?"

Vince heard them but chose to ignore it as he fixed his concentrated gaze on his phone. Then, a call came in, breaking his happy and thrilled state.
