Liam was a mess, he knew he had lost everything because of Sara but he woke up in a familiar house with his face still bruised.

"That man beat your ass, didn’t he?" A voice said, Liam leaned up from the couch with pain dancing through his entire body.

He saw his friend, he must have tracked Liam after he told him about what he was about to do.

"He was stronger than I thought..." Liam admitted, pushing his blonde hair out of his eyes.

His eyes settled on his dark-skinned friend, they have been friends since college even though he didn’t amount to anything special.

This friend’s name was Darren and had used Liam legal expertise to win a case in the past.

Of course, Liam offered a discount but Darren insisted on paying full price so Liam couldn’t cut corners under the guise of it being a favour.

"Get your ass to the shower and make sure you clean the couch when you’re done," Darren told him, Liam looked at the couch and could see his outline on it.

"Fine," Liam said before heading to the bathroom. The first thing he saw was a bra hanging on the shower rail and instantly knew Darren must have been getting busy.

He was that kind of man, he was a natural smooth talker that women tended to flock to which was why it was easy for him to point out the kind of lady Sara was.

But the fact that he came out to find him said a lot about the kind of man he was which Liam appreciated.

Liam washed his blonde hair, his blue eyes stared right back at him through the mirror as he realized how pathetic he was but also how he might have let himself go.

He did everything to retire at thirty-five but the rug had been pulled right beneath his feet.

"Maybe I could enroll into a gym?" Liam thought to himself, he had forgotten about the system that appeared to him until now.

"Was all of that real?" Liam thought to himself as he dried his hair, he felt a little better.

But there was no way something like that could be real, for someone who had lived a strict life, now that he had lost everything, there was nothing else to lose.

"I’m heading out for a bit!" Darren shouted from behind the door but this wasn’t a problem as this was basically his second home.

He cleaned up after himself, wiping the couch down and putting the fabric into the washing machine to get it cleaned when the doorbell rang.

Liam wondered who it could be and decided to look through the peephole, and to be honest, he didn’t not like what he saw.

He wondered if Darren would be alright with him opening the door but what if it was urgent?

"Meh, he will be fine," Liam muttered under his breath before opening the door.

"Oh, you aren’t Darren..." The lady said and Liam saw her properly for the first time.

She was in a black singlet but that didn’t mean her nipples didn’t peek at him from behind the fabric, they were pointed and he could also see the top of cleavage. Even he could tell carrying such things would give her back pain.

She was pale in complexion but her body was definitely snatched, looked after.

"Sorry, I’m a friend. I’m Liam, is there anything I can do for you?" Liam questioned.

"Hi! I’m Rachel," The lady responded, taking a longer look at Liam than she should.

[Ding!]

A notification rang in his head, just like last night but he could see the cyan screen floating right in front of him.

Liam had approximately $20,000 to his name as it stood in his personal account which Sara had no access to.

He had to be smart if he was going to test out this thing to confirm if it was true.

"Well, Rachel, is there anything I can help you with? Don’t worry, Darren is basically family," Liam said in an attempt to make her less self-conscious.

"Oh? That is great! I wanted to collect the rest of Darren’s rent but I can come bac-!" The lady said but this was the perfect opportunity to test what he wanted which was why he interrupted her.

"W-Wait!" Liam said before quickly adding to this.

"How much does he owe you? I want to surprise him with this little gift," Liam whispered to her.

Rachel looked almost embarrassed to say it but the words left her lips.

"$150..." Rachel said and Liam knew if he sent this money to her, according to the system’s rules it should count as a transaction to her.

"Let me cover it for him," Liam said but he noticed Rachel’s gaze was fixed on the bruise on his face.

"I got robbed, three strong men with guns and rocket launchers," Liam said passively as he opened his bank app.

"R-Really?" Rachel asked, already questioning the line of work he was in.

"Of course not, my clumsy ass fell down," Liam responded as both of them laughed, this effectively broke the ice.

"Cashapp?" Liam asked to which she nodded, he knew he could brighten up her day by adding a few extra bucks but that might also come off the wrong way so he was going to play it safe for now.

"$KimR," Rachel responded right before Liam said.

"Done!"

Liam was still holding his phone when the notification popped up.

"Holy shit..." Liam muttered under his breath catching Rachel’s attention.

"D-Did something happen?" Rachel asked but just then, her phone buzzed to show the money had gone through.

She wasn’t bad looking and her body more than made up for what she lacked in the face.

She turned and left, Liam couldn’t help but look at her behind, her buttocks were rather full.

"Damn, she is blessed," Liam thought to himself but she descended the steps, however, stole a final glance at Liam as a warm smile crept up on her face.

"I wonder how the base value is calculated in this thing?" Liam had a passive thought but the system responded right away.
