00:00Every night, I smear stinking mud all over my girlfriend's feet,
00:03then sprinkle a whole pound of flour on top,
00:06then pretend to fall asleep right away.
00:07And every night, she wakes up at two,
00:09plucks one of my hairs, and sneaks out the door.
00:11So I follow the footprints she leaves on the ground,
00:13but just when I am about to find out what she has been doing,
00:16I spot a little girl about to be hit by a truck on the side of the road.
00:19In that split second, I rush over and save her,
00:22but I get hit instead, sent flying, 30 feet, barely clinging to life.
00:26Just as my heart is about to stop beating,
00:27an ice-cold mechanical voice explodes inside my head.
00:30Ultra-rich system binding complete.
00:32Ten billion has been deposited into player Nathan's account.
00:35Golden eye skill unlocked.
00:37Able to see the true value of all things and read the human heart.
00:40Kunlun grandmaster skill unlocked.
00:42Able to fight a hundred men.
00:43I snap my eyes open, feeling my body surge with a power I have never felt before.
00:47I can even see and hear a Maybach speeding toward me from three miles away.
00:50Less than two minutes later, the black Maybach pulls up right in front of me.
00:54A pair of long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings steps out.
00:57She charges through the crowd like a woman possessed.
00:59Candy!
01:00Candy, where are you?
01:01The little girl I just saved bursts into tears.
01:03The woman rushes over and pulls Candy into her arms.
01:06After making sure Candy only has a few scrapes,
01:08she looks up at me, her eyes filled with deep gratitude.
01:10Sir, thank you for saving Candy.
01:12I am Serena from the Shen Group.
01:14What can I do for you?
01:14My family will give everything we have, no matter the cost.
01:17Nathan stares at the woman in front of him.
01:19Her information flashes across his retina.
01:21Age, 25.
01:22Status, CEO of the Shen Group.
01:24Net worth, over 800 billion.
01:26Before today, this would have been Nathan's best shot at turning his life around in this city.
01:30Latch onto the Shen family, demand a massive reward.
01:32Even now, with 10 billion to his name, Nathan does not even come close to a fraction of the Shen
01:36fortune.
01:37But Nathan just looks at her quietly, and says one word.
01:40No.
01:40Then he vanishes into the rainy night.
01:42Serena watches his silhouette fade, then turns to her assistant.
01:45Find him.
01:45I want every detail about him in three minutes.
01:47He saved us.
01:48I will not let him just disappear.
01:50Back at home, Nathan fixes his gaze on two faces on the wall.
01:53His golden eye activates its memory recall function.
01:56He quickly discovers that the mastermind behind his parents' death was his stepmother, Jade,
02:00and his girlfriend, Mona, had been sneaking out every night to see a rich kid.
02:04Good.
02:04He will start with his stepmother, Jade, then deal with Mona.
02:07He is going to make sure Mona and that rich boyfriend of hers cannot even get a job delivering food.
02:11They will end up begging on the streets.
02:13The next morning, Nathan arrives at the Yee family mansion.
02:16The moment Nathan steps inside, he hears crashing and smashing from the main hall,
02:20along with Jade's hysterical screams.
02:22Stop breaking things.
02:23I will handle it soon.
02:24I will make that brat Nathan sign the inheritance transfer agreement.
02:27Then this mansion is mine, and I will have the money to pay you back.
02:30A slap cuts her begging short.
02:32Nathan pushes the door open.
02:33The living room is a total wreck.
02:35Jade, who used to be so high and mighty, now kneels on the floor with her hair a mess,
02:39a bright red handprint across her face.
02:41Standing in the center of the room is Blade.
02:43Blade, the underground Lone Shark King of River City, with four thugs gripping steel pipes behind him.
02:48Nathan strolls in like he owns the place, walking straight toward the center of the room as if nobody else
02:52exists.
02:53When Blade sees Nathan ignore him completely, he shouts and reaches out to slap Nathan across the face.
02:58Well, well.
02:59So this is the useless young master.
03:01Nathan whips his head around and locks eyes with Blade.
03:03Blade's data flashes in Nathan's mind.
03:05Target, Blade, Combat Power, 65.
03:08Peak human level.
03:09Weakness, extremely superstitious and suffers from a mysterious condition.
03:12Severe chest pain every midnight.
03:14Nathan does not move.
03:15He just says softly,
03:16If your hand touches my face, you will never lift it again.
03:19And that chest pain of yours, does it not hit you right at midnight every single night?
03:23Blade's hand freezes in midair.
03:24Even his own men do not know this secret.
03:26How does this kid know?
03:27Nathan says nothing.
03:28He walks straight to the overturned antique shelf, searching for a purple sandalwood box his mother left behind.
03:33When Jade sees Blade hesitate, she scrambles to her feet and shrieks,
03:37Blade, he is the first in line to inherit!
03:39Force him to sign it over, and this house is yours!
03:41Blade's eyes flicker.
03:42Faced with tens of millions in debt, a little fear is nothing.
03:45His face hardens.
03:46Boys, hold this kid down.
03:47If he does not sign today, we chop off a finger.
03:49The four thugs charge at Nathan with steel pipes raised.
03:52Nathan stands with his back to them and sighs,
03:54Why do you have to make me get rough?
03:55Before he even finishes, he spins around and throws a single sidekick.
03:59Boom!
03:59The lead thug flies back fifteen feet like he got hit by a truck, slams into the wall, and drops
04:03cold.
04:04Dead silence.
04:05The other three thugs screech to a halt and swallow hard.
04:08Nathan lowers his leg and finds the sandalwood box his mother left by the coffee table.
04:12He wipes off the dust, then turns to the stunned Jade.
04:15Jade, you always wanted this house and the Yee family business, right?
04:18Fine.
04:18I will give it to you.
04:19Jade freezes.
04:21Nathan turns to Blade, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
04:23He pulls out a black bank card.
04:25You bring a card reader?
04:26Yes, I did.
04:27Total is fifty-eight million.
04:29Nathan tosses the card over.
04:30Charge it all.
04:31Jade's eyes explode with wild joy.
04:32This fool is actually paying off her debt for her.
04:35She starts shaking with excitement.
04:36Nathan!
04:37Smart move!
04:38Since you paid my debt, we are even.
04:40Now get out.
04:40This house is all mine.
04:41But the very next second, Nathan's words send her straight to hell.
04:44Who said I was paying your debt?
04:45He looks at Jade, his eyes full of amusement.
04:47That money was to buy the debt itself.
04:49From now on, you owe every penny to me.
04:51Jade's smile freezes solid.
04:53Blade catches on instantly, switching his expression in a heartbeat, now glaring at Jade like a predator.
04:58Ma'am, your new creditor is young master Nathan now.
05:00Oh, and sir, anything I can do for you?
05:02Want me to help collect interest?
05:04Blade decides right then to get on Nathan's good side.
05:06Nathan, holding the sandalwood box, walks to the door, stops, and looks back at Jade.
05:10I am giving you two choices.
05:11One, move out of this mansion right now.
05:14Leave with nothing.
05:14You cannot even take a single piece of clothing.
05:17Two, pay me back in full within three days.
05:19One second late, and I call the police.
05:21I will have you charged with fraud and embezzlement.
05:23He turns to Blade.
05:24And if you do not make sure Jade follows through, I will have you charged with assault.
05:27The security cameras at the door caught everything.
05:30Those charges are enough to make you rot in prison.
05:32With that, Nathan strides out of the mansion.
05:34Behind him come Jade's gut-wrenching wails and the sounds of Blade's crew smashing things
05:37again.
05:38Hearing all this, Nathan stands in the sunlight and feels nothing but satisfaction.
05:42That's not the thing.
05:42I'll take you off.
