Infinite Wealth System: Crazy Tasks, Insane Rewards!-Chapter 28: In The Middle Of Chaos

It took Sofia a moment to muster the energy to say a word as her lips faintly moved.

"Ro... Royce..."

At that instant, when Royce really heard his name, he suddenly flinched as he pulled himself away.

The lady making out with him suddenly threw a glance, and to make it worse, it was someone she knew.

"Mia?" Sofia broke down.

It was Mia, her best friend who lived with her in an apartment, as they were both students at Sky High University. Though Mia was in a different department, they usually met after lectures and headed home together, except when Sofia decided to spend the night at Royce's house.

Ever since she started dating Royce, Sofia had even stopped coming home. Royce would always insist that she spend the night at his place so he could enjoy all her stuff, and Sofia had indeed loved staying there... In a luxurious house filled with the best of things for her to enjoy.

Little did she know that her friend was already having an affair with Royce, whom she had only dated for nine days.

Royce hesitated and cleared his throat, adjusting his clothes.

"Sofia..." he muttered.

"You... You..." Sofia completely ran out of words as she stood there, her jaw dropped, eyes faint.

"It's not what you..."

"Tell me what to think! You stopped picking my calls after last night. I searched for you everywhere, almost got run over by a truck on the street... Only to see you here with her, my best friend!" Sofia said as she slowly began to break down in tears.

"I told you it's not what you..."

"Go to hell, Royce!" Sofia interrupted again, the tears intensifying.

Royce just shrugged... After all, it wasn't as if he cared.

Yes...

He didn't.

"Well, I guess the best thing to do is to walk away," Royce shook his head nonchalantly and attempted to leave.

But Sofia suddenly stopped him.

"Where do you think you are going?!" Sofia shouted.

"Hey, careful, Sofia. You no longer have the right to touch him..."

At the moment she least expected a word from her so-called best friend, Mia had the courage to interfere.

"Yes. Royce is mine now. You can just go ahead and drown in the sea. Royce doesn't want you anymore," she said with a mocking smile.

At that instant, a flame seemed to burn in Sofia's eyes as she threw herself at Mia.

"You devilish bitch!!!"

Sofia grabbed Mia's hair, and the latter did the same as a fight began at once.

"Heyy, hey! Stop! Get your filthy hands off her!" Royce shouted as he angrily pushed Sofia away, sending her falling on her back.

Giving her a stern glance, he gave Mia his hand as they walked away.

Not wanting to back down just like that, Sofia stood up again and charged at them, rushing to Mia again.

However, this time...

PAAAA!

Royce suddenly threw his palm and slapped her hard in the face, sending her to fall again, her cheek red with a hand mark.

"Stay away, bitch. It's over!" Royce stated, clenching his teeth.

Sofia froze there, her eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected that Royce could actually act like this one day... Not even after just nine days of their relationship.

"Mia is right. I don't want you anymore," Royce said. "I'm hers now."

Mia's cheeks flushed the moment he said that, smiling as she watched her best friend in pain.

"Oh, and again..." Royce halted and turned, like he remembered something to say.

"You should try adding some honey to that stuff under there. It tastes awfully bad... Really," Royce said with a smile, then walked away with his new girl.

Sofia was instantly taken aback, as she clearly understood what he meant. It was the least of embarrassments she had expected, but of course, she was left with nothing to do.

Cursed. Embarrassed. Broken.

She just got served the same meal she gave to the helpless boy from the Cole Family, but this one was hotter...

Hotter to the extent that it burns.

Sofia sat helplessly on the floor of the alley, crying her eyes out, her heart shattered roughly.

Beep!

She didn't pay much attention to the message that popped up on her phone after a moment, but she soon tried to give it a glimpse, and when she did...

> {MOM: Hey, little queen. I went for the application today, and guess what?! Your ex-boyfriend Jayden is the chairman. He was the one who bought the company.}

{MOM: I really don't think I can get the job anymore. It's really going to be tough since I've been rejected in so many places. But that's aside... How are you and Royce doing?}

{MOM: Did he send you the money? I've really got a lot of debts clawing at my neck.}

The moment Sofia finished reading the messages, the best thing was to slump and cry hard once more, which she did.

******

[Task #007 completed!]

[You have gained $1,000,000. It will be transferred to your account.]

[You have gained +2 Reputation and +2 Influence to your attribute.]

{Credit Alert: You just received $1,000,000 from XXX-XXXX-XX}

Jayden smiled, staring at the interface.

"I actually thought it was five hundred bucks," he muttered.

Now he had up to $20,100,000 in his bank account, which had officially made him a proper millionaire. But he was worried... Worried that he might be questioned soon...

Sure, there was no limit to deposits in an account, but it was stated that it would be reported to the Financial Crime Agency (FCA) if one received up to a million dollars in a single day.

Jayden had just gotten $21,000,000 a few days ago, which clearly meant he was in trouble if he didn't have a believable source of income for that amount. But surprisingly, he saw no sign of the bank's message or the FCA urging him to visit their office.

That was because...

> [I already covered it up, host. You're safe. But soon, you'll have to upgrade your account for what's coming.]

At least that wasn't necessary now, since he was safe for the time being.

"How about giving me new tasks? I need to make more money!" Jayden demanded.

"It's enough!" Jayden shouted. "If you want to kill me, just use one of those supernatural magics you've got and get it over with."

> [You asked for more tasks, host. Heh!]

Jayden clearly heard the system laugh.

"It's not funny. This is literally like telling me to go get everything in the world," Jayden glared.

> [Of course, that's what I'm doing. That's my assignment with you.]

Jayden hesitated and shrugged.

> [There are more tasks. Even Black-Level tasks incoming. A lot of them.]

"Ugh... Keep it. I need to rest. We'll check them out later," Jayden muttered as he walked into the apartment after stepping down from his car.

> [Sure.]

When Jayden stepped into the house, he saw no sign of Temi in the living room, but her car was parked outside. He figured she must be in the kitchen.

While he was about to head there, he got a call... A call he didn't expect.

"Hello, Jayden Cole. This is Kurtis Vane..."

Jayden froze.

"Uhh... I'm..." Jayden was about to apologize for not calling him after getting his card at the auction...

However, Kurtis didn't mind.

"Don't worry... I understand. How about we meet at Arcadia tomorrow. 7 PM," he said.

"Uhh... Yeah. Alright. I'll try to be there," Jayden replied, his voice breaking.

"Good. Till then."

{Call ended}

"What does he want from me? He has an alliance with the Kingsleys," Jayden wondered.

Beep. Beep.

Soon, another call came in, and Jayden quickly picked it up.

"Heyyy... Sorry I wasn't able to show up today. I'm currently dealing with some minor issues," Camilia said on the other end.

Jayden had definitely not taken offense, since he was at work all day as well.

"It's alright. How are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm okay. Just missed you," Camilia confessed.

At that very moment, while she said that, Temi had already stepped into the living room...

He didn't doubt it. She completely heard what Camilia said...

"Babe. Who is that?"

And with a curious glance, she asked.

Camilia, too, was still on the call, and had heard what Temi said.

"Babe??? Jayden, who is that?"

Right in the middle of chaos, Jayden stood frozen... Cooked.
