And a light golden vial appeared in front of him.
Its information appeared below, and he carefully read it.
[Ultimate Potion (Elentary)
Effect: A special potion—after drinking it, the host's all stats will be improved by 2 points.]
Seeing this prize, his eyes almost widened in surprise, as this was exactly what he needed most. Due to his previous self's nearly degenerate lifestyle, his body was very weak and lacked any real strength.
He was worried about how to reverse all the damage—even with proper diet, exercise, and planning, it would have taken a long ti. But now, with this, he could greatly shorten the ti and make himself stronger quickly.
He thought about clicking it in his mind, and that vial imdiately appeared in his pants pocket.
He groped for it and found that it was also about the length of a mini finger.
He still rembered the previous experience, so he didn't want to drink it yet. He had to go ho first and make preparations; otherwise, who knows what side effects it would have this ti.
Thinking about the identity of the mysterious woman who took his virginity, he decided to investigate it first.
So, he straightened himself up and walked toward the reception in the lobby.
An average-looking woman with heavy makeup greeted him.
"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" Her attitude was extrely perfunctory, but seeing his handso face, she imdiately beca enthusiastic, and her eyes almost turned into hearts.
But he didn't care, as he wasn't in the mood to care about every random person, and he just stated his purpose:
"Can I check last night's CCTV footage?"
"What?" she asked absent-mindedly.
"Can I check last night's CCTV footage?" he repeated.
"Sorry, sir, this is against our policy, as it concerns custors' privacy. And if I wanted to, I don't have the authority," she replied embarrassingly.
"Okay, then call your superior or soone who has authority," Rex replied in a serious tone.
Seeing that he was serious, she imdiately called soone on the phone and explained the situation.
Soon a middle-aged man with sparse hair, a big belly, and shifty eyes ca. His posture scread arrogance.
He ca to Rex and scanned him from head to toe; seeing him wearing ordinary clothes, a displeased look appeared on his face.
Even though the clothes Rex wore weren't anywhere close to cheap, in his eyes they were the sa as clothes sold on street stalls.
So, he spoke with his head held high, "Are you the one who wants to check CCTV footage?"
Hearing his voice dripping with arrogance, Rex raised his eyebrows.
"Are you the owner of this hotel?" he asked, a slight smirk playing on the corner of his mouth.
"No, but I'm the lobby manager here, and my uncle is the manager of this hotel," he spoke with pride.
"Huh! Boy, are you even qualified to even et the owner of this hotel?" he responded sarcastically.
Seeing his posture and tone, Rex knew that he wasn't going to be of any help, so he spoke without much care:
"I don't care if you are the lobby manager or the hobby manager here; I just want to check the CCTV footage from last night, as I have sothing important to see."
Hearing this, the pot-bellied middle-aged man beca furious, "Boy, are you courting death?"
Hearing this classic villain's line, Rex was stunned; he hadn't thought that anyone would actually use that line in real life.
But soon, he couldn't help laughing "Hahahaha,"—he laughed so hard that tears almost fell.
Wiping his tears, he replied, "Sorry, I suddenly rembered sothing funny—go on, hahahaha."
Even though he didn't know why he suddenly started laughing, he knew it must be sothing related to him. The middle-aged man's face flushed with anger.
He hadn't been humiliated by soone like this since he beca the lobby manager of this prestigious hotel especially by a kid who hasn't even grown hairs.
He pointed a finger at his nose and was about to scold him.
When suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his finger and saw that Rex was holding it tightly and clenching it tightly.
He imdiately began screaming like a pig, "Auch, agh! Boy, let my finger go right now; otherwise, you'll be responsible for your own actions!"
Hearing this, instead of loosening, Rex tightened his grip even more, and his joking look imdiately turned serious.
In his past life, he had always kept his head down and tried his best not to offend anyone—even if soone scolded him face-to-face, he would just suppress his anger and smile like an idiot because he knew he didn't have any backing, money, or anything of the sort to rely on. If sothing really happened, even if it was trivial, it could ruin his whole life.
He couldn't afford to make mistakes, as he had nothing to hedge the risk.
He had heard at work in his previous life about how an old employee offended a company director and got his life ruined.
"Offending" was an overstatent; he just talked back and said sothing spur-of-the-mont due to frequent, unrited scolding.
The consequence was that he was imdiately estranged from work, and even those who had close relations kept their distance; a few days later, he was fired because of a bad attitude and an attempt to embezzle company funds.
Later, the police arrested him. Even though, in the end, he was declared innocent, it was too late by then—his wife had divorced him, she left with his kids, and no company would hire him again, even though he tried for the most trivial positions.
He later heard that he was doing manual labor in his forties and living with his old parents.
He also sighed at that ti and felt sorry for him. And honestly, it wasn't an isolated case; there were nurous cases like this—in so extre cases, becoming disabled or even getting killed was possible.
It's just that most people don't know, or soone suppresses the news; sotis even the person involved doesn't know what wrong they have done and just attributes it to bad luck and fate.
This was also the reason he decided to keep a low profile in the future.
For ordinary people, this world isn't a rciful place. If you offend so wealthy or powerful person who is narrow-minded, then there really isn't anything in this world that can save them.
But not in this life.
He has decided to live a carefree and leisurely life without any worries or regrets, and he doesn't want to live in constant fear that his actions could offend soone.
Because first of all, he is also rich now—even though $100 million isn't a huge amount, it's also not a small amount.
He already has enough power to protect himself, as long as he doesn't do sothing outrageous like killing soone.
And finally—and most importantly—he has a system now, and that's his biggest reliance. As long as he keeps his feet on the ground, he doesn't have to worry about trivial matters like this.
Back to the topic: loud howling and screaming imdiately attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby, as they stopped what they were doing and looked toward them curiously.
But no one ca forward to help or diate; they seed to be enjoying a show.
The potbellied man kept screaming miserably, and seeing this, the hotel staff exchanged glances and imdiately ran forward to help the middle-aged man, fearing he would retaliate afterwards because of not helping.
Soone imdiately called security, and soon several security guards ca running and surrounded him.
They held their batons, looking for an opportunity to take him down in one shot.
Strangely, instead of fear, Rex felt a bit excited even though he knew that his chance of success was infinitely close to zero as his heart pounded faster and his jaw clenched with anticipation.
It seed he also had undiscovered strange tendencies—or maybe it was the confidence that money and the system had given him.
Seeing the situation, most onlookers knew that the matter was coming to an end, people couldn't help but pity him, and so girls even covered their eyes to avoid witnessing the violent scene. Even though they didn't know the reason they knew that this handso boy wouldn't be able to escape unscathed, unless a miracle happens.
The pot-bellied man suppressed his howling and beca happy again. If Rex hadn't clutched his hand, he would have taken the baton from the security guard and personally taught the boy a lesson.
Just when the situation reached breaking point and was about to escalate, they heard an extrely majestic and angry roar.
"STOP! DON'T TRY TO MOVE AND KEEP YOUR WEAPONS DOWN!"
Everyone froze. No one when knew that when a group of imposing bodyguards with bulging muscles and intimidating gazes, wearing neat uniforms and carrying guns, had entered the lobby.
Seeing the guns, people scread and imdiately tried to flee, only to find themselves surrounded.
...
A few minutes earlier, just when Rex and the pot-bellied man were talking, the people from Arcanum Security Company had reached the hotel door. Just as they were about to enter, they heard the loud screams from inside.
William's heart imdiately tightened because this was the location of their eting with Rex, the new controller of their company branch.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead; he silently prayed that nothing should happen to him, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable.
Other bodyguards also beca alert and imdiately took out their weapons. As they entered the hotel, they saw that a crowd had gathered, and when William clearly saw that Rex was surrounded by security guards, he felt as if the world was spinning. But as a professional, he imdiately composed himself.
Because he was the only one who had seen Rex's picture, others were still confused and didn't know what to do.
He imdiately ordered so of his n to secure the area and rushed toward Rex.
