Bitcoin Billionaire: I Regressed to Invest in the First Bitcoin!-Chapter 29: Documentation Complete

Victoria's eyes widened. Her lips parted to speak, but remained agape in disbelief. $5,000 was 0.5% of the total pay of a million dollars.

It didn't sound like much, but the usual and advised amount for a performance gratuity was 0.1%. 0.5 was a significant leap. More than what most agents could even dream of getting in extra pay.

"Yes, it would." She turned to him, her expression softening into something more than just appreciation. "Thank you... really."

"It's nothing at all. I guess I'm feeling pretty generous today," he said while stretching

She stared at him then, long and deep, a glint of strong emotions flashing in her gaze. Darren caught it, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly.

"The documents," he reminded her, bringing her back to the present.

"Oh! Right." Victoria quickly grabbed her bag and pulled out the contract.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Darren took it, scanning the details and then waited for the system's analysis.

┏Contract Scanning...┛

┏Legitimacy Confirmed. No deceit detected.┛

'Great.' He accepted the pen she handed to him and signed the buyer's name on the allocated space.

Pamela Steele.

Darren then handed her the contract and got on his feet.

Victoria frowned as she leaned over to read it. "Wait, you signed it under another name?" Her tone was teasing. "Pamela Steele? Is that a family member or a romantic partner?"

Darren didn't reply.

"Why not use your name?" she pressed, rising to her feet. "Even your bank account is under an alias, Mister Duckling. I don't know if it's possible that we can work with a nameless client. Are you really trying to keep your identity a secret?"

Darren straightened up, slipping the pen into his pocket — basically claiming it as his — as he buttoned his shirt back up. "It's my mother's name," he said in a matter-of-fact manner.

Victoria blinked. "Your mother?" She tilted her head, realization dawning on her. "So... this house is for her?"

Darren smoothed out his sleeves, his movements effortless. "You could say so."

Victoria watched him in silence, the gears in her mind shifting. 'Who is this guy?'

At first, she thought this purchase was just another extravagance — some luxury home for a young, rich man who wanted to flaunt his wealth.

But this?

A son buying a million-dollar house for his mother at his age? That wasn't something she saw every day. How rich was he? Certainly rich enough to buy a house like this just for his mother.

If he could take care of a woman who was his mother in such a manner, then how would he treat a woman who was his girlfrie—

Before Victoria could daydream a bit more, Darren turned to her. "Can I have my copy of the document?"

She snapped out of her daze. "Oh— yes. Here." She handed it over.

"Congratulations, sir," she said smoothly, recovering her professional tone. "You are now the owner of the property on Greenbaby, No. 147."

Darren carefully held the contract in place for the system to scan.

Then he said a "Thank you" to Victoria and walked to a closet desk by the bed, pulling one drawer and placing the contract inside before shutting close.

As he turned and towards the door, Victoria hesitated, blocking his path.

"Wait."

Darren stopped but didn't turn around. "What?"

Her face was down, while she held the documents in her hand by the side of her breasts.

After swallowing nervously, she found the courage to ask, "That woman you were talking to back at the estate headquarters... was she your girlfriend?"

Darren raised a brow at her. "No." His voice was firm. "If you must know we've actually broken up now."

Victoria's cheeks flushed pink. She shifted her stance, brushing her hair over her shoulder. "So... you're single?" she asked with a little too much enthusiasm.

Darren observed her, already understanding where this was going. He exhaled lightly. "Yes." He replied with a cold steady voice. "And I plan on being that way for a while."

Victoria's hopeful expression faltered slightly.

Darren continued, "This was great, Victoria. But our relationship will more than likely end here." He spoke so nonchalantly, like he was truly bored by the idea of having a girlfriend.

"Unless I end up needing you again."

Victoria flinched at that. "Needing me?"

"Thank you for your services." His tone was final.

Victoria swallowed hard, schooling her expression. She had just been rejected, hard.

It was a rare occurrence, especially from someone who was younger than she was. But Mr Duckling was quite a distinct man, and she knew it. With his wealth, it wasn't out of reach for someone like him to reject her. Irrespective of his age.

Feeling hurt, she held her head down dejectedly.

After a brief pause, she offered, "Would you need transport to return to the city?"

Darren shook his head. "No, it's fine. I'd like to walk around my new house for a while."

Victoria pursed her lips, nodding. "Okay." Her voice was softer now. "...Goodbye."

Then she turned and walked toward the vehicle waiting outside.

Darren walked up the stairs and watched her enter the Cadillac. The engine hummed to life. The car rolled down the driveway, passing through the gates and finally disappearing into the distance.

Darren remained where he stood — on the balcony of his new estate.

A cool evening breeze passed through, ruffling the collar of his shirt. He took a slow breath as he admired the sheer expanse of the property now under his name. The front lawn stretched out lush and manicured, the surrounding landscape serene.

He turned on his heel and stepped back inside, shutting the grand door behind him.

Then, he summoned the Investor System.

"System."

A familiar chime rang in his mind.

"Before the Red Fang loan repayment, is there anything else I need to do?"

───

┏Weekly Quest: Super Profit has been completed┛

┏Monthly Quest: Build a Foundation is on track to be completed┛

┏Monthly Quest: No Debt, No Stress has not been completed┛

┏The following loans have not been repaid:

– Student Loan of $9,000

– Minor debt of $100 to coworker┛

┏Also note that the loan borrowed from the Red Fang must be repaid as well to complete the monthly quest, No Debt, No Stress Quest.┛

───

Darren sighed.

"Right. I think I owe that $100 to Eddie. I could just send a transfer anytime. But the Student Loan. I also have to pay that off but I can't via transfer."

A tentative breath escaped him. "Guess I have to step back into that godforsaken place once again."

And with that thought, he closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again, his mind already shifting to his next course of action.
