As Jason left the VIP room to go to the bathroom, Noah seized the opportunity to check his system.
[Would you like to recruit Jason Sullivan? (Y/N)]
Without hesitation, Noah chose [Y].
Seconds later, another series of buzzing notification sounds rang in his ears.
Noah was shocked to learn that he had received rewards after recruiting Jason Sullivan.
'What the...! This system is so generous, rewarding with a car!! An expensive car!?'
He gasped, speechless; he couldn't even drive one.
...
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan! You received a brand new black rcedes-Maybach GLS (SUV)]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan, you gain Skill points 20]
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan, you gain Personnel points 25]
...
Noah had already seen a few notifications about points but never checked how to use them.
After he decided to check, information about it appeared: [Points can be used to upgrade your skills and personnel]
This is good!
He can use them to upgrade his skill level as well as his team.
'Should I upgrade Jason's level?'
Noah wondered, but seconds later, he set aside the idea. He will save those points for now.
Maybe later, he will need them.
However, Noah feels sothing is missing despite gaining nurous assets, skills, and bodyguards. He also seeks more power for himself.
He knows that Jason can't be with him for twenty-four hours and that martial arts skills, a strong build, and power are necessary.
Experiencing a slap earlier still hurts his heart. He can't let sothing like that happen again!
'Should I start doing fitness to build my body? Or should I look for a martial arts teacher to train ?'
When Noah was puzzled thinking about how weak he was, suddenly his gaze fell on another, [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION]
...
[Congratulations, Noah Morgan. You have reached Power Level 1]
[Unlocked Benefits:]
[1. Improved physical awareness]
[2. Faster ntal processing in high-stress situations]
[3. Slight resistance to manipulation (ntal/emotional)]
[4. Eligible to purchase Tier 1 Skill]
...
In an instant, a feeling of joy enveloped him. This is what he needs now!
His own 'Power Level' is now at level 1, and with all those benefits, he couldn't ask for anything more.
What makes him even happier is that he can purchase a 'Skill.' He doesn't have to wait for the system to reward him. He can buy it as long as he has skill points and money.
'Did the system also know what I'm thinking?'
Noah begins to feel suspicious. He can only laugh at his thoughts.
When Noah saw the price of the skill, he nearly spat out blood, and his laughter disappeared.
'What the hell! Why is Skill Level 1 so fucking expensive?'
...
[Martial Arts Skill, Level 1 — Price: $10,000,000 Skill Points: 10, Buy (Y/N)]
[Driving Skill, Level 1 — Price: $1,000,000 Skill Points: 10, Buy (Y/N)]
[Learn Language Skill (Choose the country), Level 1 — Price: 1,000,000 Skill Points: 10, Buy (Y/N)]
...
Noah shook his head in annoyance, stressed about the high cost of that skill. Additionally, the skill he desired might empty his bank account.
'10 million just for level 1 martial arts? Are you serious?'
He took a deep sigh after venting his frustration.
'Stay calm, Noah... Take a deep breath! The skills are unbelievably expensive, but rember, there's one skill you absolutely need!'
Despite Noah's considerable wealth, he cannot purchase skills whenever he desires.
He is limited to acquiring two skills each ti he levels up, and only two opportunities are available before he can buy again.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to buy a 'Martial Arts Skill' because it is the one he needs the most.
As for driving a car, he will simply ask Jason to drive for him.
...
Jason returned shortly after, and they decided to return to Caldwell Construction.
They only took a few steps to leave the restaurant when a delivery guy with a rcedes logo on his clothes approached them.
"Mr. Noah Morgan?" the man asked politely, soon feeling frightened when he noticed Jason coldly staring at him.
"I'm sorry, sir. But I just wanted to know if you are Mr. Noah Morgan?" the man asked again, matching the picture he had on his cellphone.
Noah frowned, looking at the man—he failed to notice the rcedes logo. He had never t this guy before. "Yes, I am. And you are...?"
"Sir, I'm from a rcedes dealer. We're coming to deliver your brand-new car," the delivery man said, pointing to the new black car not far from them.
He continued, "The car is ready for you to use imdiately. You just need to sign here, sir..."
Noah was shocked. He didn't expect the system to send the bonus car so quickly.
Not even an hour had passed, and he already had his rcedes-Maybach GLS (SUV). Plus, he could use the vehicle right away.
"Thank you..." Noah tried to mask his shock. "So, I only need to sign here?"
"Yes, sir..."
Noah calmly signed the paper and received the key along with a few docunts from the delivery guy.
After a brief conversation, the delivery guy excused himself, leaving Noah still astonished as he gazed at the expensive car that was now his.
"Boss, now I believe you are indeed a Billionaire!" Jason playfully pulled Noah from his shock.
Noah shifted his gaze from his car and looked at Jason.
"Co on, Jason, can you just call Noah like you usually do? I'd prefer to keep things casual to avoid drawing too much attention. And rember, my enemy isn't as simple and naïve as you might think!"
When they talked inside, Noah ntioned a few critical things Jason needs to keep in mind, including one about his identity. He wants to stay hidden.
He is still weak, especially now. If his enemy and his father's enemy know about him, he can picture what will happen. His life might not be peaceful again.
Jason's face gradually grew serious. He clearly grasped what Noah ant. With nearly a dozen gangsters pursuing him, his enemy must be formidable.
"I understand! I'll just be myself and play my part as your friend, not like I'm your bodyguard or anything!"
Noah smiled while patting Jason's shoulder. "Can you drive?"
"Absolutely! I can operate anything—a jet, an Airbus, a yacht, or a train!" Jason replied with pride.
"Perfect! Now drive for us..." Noah gave the car key to Jason and walked toward the car.
