Stephan held his breath perfectly, he tried to go and fight but the thugs were so much more numerous than him that inevitably Stephan was overwhelmed, he fell and was beaten by all the thugs there until Stephan collapsed on his stomach and his mouth was bleeding and bruises were all over his face and body.
Stephan’s hand was stepped on by Luis, then Luis laughed out loud seeing Stephan lying helpless like that.
“Now you can see very clearly, can’t you? The difference between you and my family. You are just ignorant trash while my family are rich businessmen who own the biggest company in this country. So, stop hoping for Bella, and stop dreaming of having lots of money and a yacht, and never meet Bella again because I will match Bella with a young businessman who is far from everything compared to you, understand that!”
After saying that, Luis stepped on Stephan’s hand again until it hurt, then Luis left with his hired thugs. Stephan, whose body felt weak and couldn’t move at all, felt annoyed until his eyes felt red, his jaw tightened with his hands clenched into fists. He swore in his heart to repay all this, repay every treatment Luis and the extended Swan family had given him. Stephan will do anything to prove to them that he was a man who didn’t deserve to be humiliated by anyone.

After a few days of rest, Stephan got a letter from several places where he worked. He experienced mass dismissal because he didn’t work for more than three days, and of course this made Stephan even more frustrated. Meanwhile outside, the landlord became increasingly angry and cursed at him so that all the other tenants looked at Stephan with different eyes. Feeling annoyed, Stephan finally decided to leave, walking anywhere as long as Stephan’s heart was calm. Stephan repeatedly received calls from Bella, and many times Stephan refused the calls. He was crazy now, his life was ruined and Stephan lost everything.
Until finally Stephan saw an ATM machine, he stopped and looked at the ATM machine with a disinterested look, then Stephan remembered the gold card he got from the old man some time ago. While holding his breath, Stephan immediately stepped into the ATM machine. He waited for everyone to leave, then with some hesitation, Stephan took his gold card and inserted the card into the ATM machine. Instantly the ATM machine screen displayed some quite long writing until then a voice was heard as if it were from the sound there.
[Welcome to the unlimited system, Mr. Barack. Happy! You have successfully opened an account on the Unlimited System, your initial balance is ten thousand million dollars and will continue to increase every day! Use your balance wisely, increase your balance and you will be richer! Signed, Unlimited System!]
Stephan’s eyes almost fell out when he saw the balance on the ATM screen. The amount of money was really ten thousand million dollars and this was something that was truly unbelievable. Stephan rubbed his eyes several times, but the nominal did not change at all. Stephan even took the card and inserted it again, and he saw the nominal amount again.
Feeling frightened, Stephan rushed to take the gold card and put it back in his wallet. Stephan immediately ran back into the rented house and hid under the blanket.
So what should he do? This was completely unreasonable, and what was even more unreasonable was … who on earth was that old man?

Stephan still felt so confused, he had even put the gold card in the cupboard for two days. Until then he was startled again and this time it wasn’t just a scream, but a banging from the lady who owned the rented house where he was staying.
“Stephan Barack, get out of my house today!”
Stephan immediately stood up when he saw the landlord leaving in front of him with her hands on her hips.
“Mrs. Emil, give me time to-“
“In fact, I’ve given you four months, but you haven’t paid the rent, Stephan. So, pack your things and leave, because I don’t want to accommodate unemployed people like you anymore!”
The landlord immediately threw away all of Stephan’s belongings. Like it or not, Stephan immediately obeyed the landlord’s orders and left. Carrying a bag containing the minimum of clothes, Stephan finally left the rented house, and he had really lost everything now. So, where should he live and sleep after this? Stephan really didn’t know.
In the end, Stephan went back to wandering around without any purpose, he had no money, and he didn’t have any goals. Stephan was completely at his wit’s end now.
Until then, Stephan started to make a decision to try to take the money on the gold card. He looked for an ATM machine and tried to withdraw some money there. At first Stephan was doubtful that the money would come out, but how shocked he was when he found out that the amount of money he had withdrawn had actually come out.
[Welcome to Unlimited System! Congratulations! You’ve already withdrawn a thousand dollars, Mr. Barack! Enjoy your wealth!]
Stephan was silent for a moment then he smiled so perfectly. This was real … this was real, and Stephan was rich now!
Stephan shouted with so much joy, he immediately rushed out of the ATM machine and threw away the money in his hands.
“I’m rich! I’m rich! I’m rich!” Stephan shouted, several people there seemed to be looking at Stephan with strange looks, and it was not uncommon for some of them to pick up Stephan’s money that was scattered on the road. With a big smile, he will do everything with enthusiasm. Until then there was one thing he had to do now. Yes … that was to come to the Swan family’s house and prove to the Swan family about his wealth.
“Mr. Swan, believe me, I will definitely marry your daughter!” Stephan shouted confidently then he looked for a taxi and went to the Swan family residence.
