The WealthTap System: Rising from Rags to Riches

Chapter 7 Rest In Peace, Trainee...

?With a heavy heart, Chris cashed out his Catecoins at a profit of nearly 1,200$ after excluding the taxes his investing platform charged.

1200$ Profit is low? HELL NO! But comparing it against the potentially more than 5000$ profit it surely appeared lacking.

[ Main Quests.

1. Earn 10,000$ without the aid of system - System Upgrade to Level 2 Completed. ]

[ System Upgrading to Level-2 all System and App's Features and Services will be Temporarily disabled. ]

Chris stared at the Hologram with twitching eyebrows, he wanted to go for another money-making session...

With 12,400 $ in his Bank account, Chris wasn't worried about returning the loan anymore. Without any fanfare, he directly transferred 10,000$ to Son of the Shark's bank account.

[Son of the Shark: Well done, Christopher. I am proud of you.]

'This bastard...' Gritting his teeth, Chris murmured some curses and swore to get a revenge on this guy later.

*ding* *dong* *ding* *dong*

The apartment's doorbell rang twice and Cassie quickly ran to open the door with a cheery smile and greeted,

"Welcome back, Sister!"

"Yeah," Cathy nodded to Cassie and headed in, her lips forming a constant frown, her eyes adored by dark circles, as she slowly dragged her body to the couch where Chris was sitting.

"Haha, look at you, looking all down." Chris chuckled at Cathy and before she could even get annoyed by his chuckle, He shoved his phone in front of her swollen eyes.

"..." Looking at the screen, Cathy's eyes slowly regained their glow, her frown slowly reforming into a bright blossoming smile.

"T-This...I love you, Chris!" Understanding what has happened, Cathy's eyes got teary as she jumped at Chris, hugging him tightly.

"Haha, I gave you my word didn't I?" Chris stroked her hair and patted her sobbing back.

"I love you..." She mumbled again and bit her lips, "Sorry for being so useless..."

"Are you mad? I couldn't have done this without you, Stop being such a downer and cheer up!" Chris laughed loudly and pushed Cathy away from the hug and winked.

"Okay..." Cathy wiped the tears from her eyes and began giggling.

"Cass, your sister has gone nuts. Call the mental hospital." Chris joked seeing Cathy's mood swings.

"Aye Aye, Sir!"

"Shut up you two! I am fine!"

"Sorry sis, Can't hear you."

"Maybe now you can hear me, little brat." Cathy smirked and pulled Cassie's ears.

"Ow Ow Ow, brother! Help me!"

"Your sacrifice will always be remembered. Rest in peace, trainee." Chris warmly smiled and raised three fingers in the sky to show his tribute to the loss of a hardworking newbie...

"You shut up too!" Cathy turned to Chris who quickly gulped down his next scene of drama he was building.

"Let's watch some movies!" Cassie suggested excitedly jumping on Chris's shoulder and urging him to agree with her.

"Haha, why not. Play it!" Chris also smiled and pulled cassie on couch next to him.

... Few Moments Later

"Hah! What a dumb and dense protagonist!" Chris scoffed seeing the protagonist of a drama acting dense even when the female lead was giving all hints that she likes him.

"Who are you to say? You didn't even have a GF or a close female friend your whole life." Cathy not leaving the free chance, mercilessly took a jab at Chris.

"That wasn't necessary." Chris rolled his eyes and focused back on the TV.

// 12:46 AM //

"I think we should call it a night, It's getting late." Chris commented after checking the time, Cassie who had to go to school tomorrow had already fallen asleep on Chris's lap.

"You're right." Getting up from the couch, Cathy also nodded and turned off the TV.

Looking around, The hall today was a bit cheery with many things such as board games, cards, drinks, cans of food, wrappers of chips etcetera were scattered either on the table or on the floor.

After Cathy's mood was fixed, the siblings didn't let the mood get down again and began to have fun with lots of games and food, nearly emptying the snack stock Chris refueled this afternoon.

"I will put her to bed," Chris said and gently picked Cassie's body from the couch in princess position and walked to her room.
