[Side Mission Complete: Give Alexandra as much money as she asks on her third time]

[Reward: $9,900]

[Explanation: Once again, you’ve outdone yourself.]

[AMPLIFYING THE REWARDS BY 10,000X...]

The familiar green letters suddenly faded, replaced by enormous red numbers that almost filled Liam’s vision.

[NEW REWARD: $99,000,000]

[Explanation: The one who gives also gets.]

"Sir? Can I talk about what just happened?"

Daniel was still on the call when the system panels began appearing. Hearing the banker’s voice suddenly jump several pitches higher, Liam didn’t even need an explanation to guess what had happened. Ninety-nine million dollars had probably just been deposited into his account from his supposed ’Business.’

"Yes, you can."

Liam smiled slightly. Daniel had actually remembered what Liam had told him only moments ago and asked permission before discussing anything confidential over speaker, which was nice.

Alexandra, meanwhile, had finally checked her own banking app.

[Balance: $10,011,763]

The number stared back at her from the screen. Her expression went completely blank. After everything that had happened today, ten million dollars sitting under her name had simply pushed her past the point where her brain knew how to react.

"Your business has now deposited more than one hundred fifty million dollars in profit. Just over fifty million has already been allocated to our tax team for the required filings and estimated tax obligations, as usual."

"Of course..."

Hearing Alexandra respond to Daniel before he could even say anything, Liam turned his head towards her. Her face had gone completely blank, not a single emotion visible for several seconds. Then, without warning, she leaned back into the seat and started laughing like a crazy person.

"Of course. Of course your business earns hundreds of millions."

"No, you don’t understand. Calm down."

Liam patted her shoulder once again, trying to get her to relax. She was clearly misunderstanding the numbers, but Alexandra only continued laughing for another few seconds before finally stopping and slowly turning towards Liam, waiting for an explanation.

"I earned ninety-nine million, not hundreds of millions."

"Sir, actually, your new balance is $146,211,382 after paying all the taxes, so technically, you are worth well over one hundred million dollars. I’d say you are worth one-fifty."

Liam’s smile disappeared as he slowly looked forward at the road. Daniel really couldn’t have said that at a worse time.

"Daniel, you’re talking between a couple. End the call."

"Yes, sir."

...

The car had been on the road for half an hour. After the phone call ended, neither of them spoke. Liam kept his eyes on the road while thinking about how everything had turned out. For now, he had no real plan to defeat Erto. The Silverschild family was like a fortress without a single crack he could see.

To think they’re this powerful. I could maybe kill him using the screwdriver, but that’s not what I want.

Alexandra’s mood, meanwhile, had grown heavier. She was clearly struggling with something in her heart. Several times, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, only to close it again a few seconds later. Whatever words she wanted to say were clearly not easy for her to utter.

"What’s bothering you? Tell me."

Liam finally spoke after noticing how fidgety she had become in her seat. Alexandra looked slightly shocked that he had noticed her struggle at all. She let out several slow sighs, almost like she was trying to convince herself to finally say what had been bothering her.

"You know, when a man pays for an expensive dinner on a date, he usually expects to get laid at the end of the night."

"What?!"

Hearing something like that from her caught Liam completely off guard. He had no idea where she was going with this, but at least she had finally started talking.

"I mean, remember how I said I wanted to make love to you?"

"Y... yeah, when you wanted to dry my balls."

"Well... can we not do it today?"

"Of course. You never have to ask me twice about something like that."

"No. I just want to drive back home as soon as possible, so can our plan wait a little? My mom really needs me by her side when she goes through such a life-changing surgery."

"Alexandra, your mother is about to have major surgery. Why would I ever expect you to stay here with me instead of being beside her?"

"Y... yeah."

Liam glanced at her for a moment before giving her shoulder a light pat.

"You really have the wrong idea about me. Yeah, you’re beautiful, you’ve got a smoking-hot body, and obviously I want you. But I’m not some desperate guy who needs to keep you here when your mother needs you more. Go take care of her. Stay with her as long as you need."

He paused for a second before adding casually,

"And if taking care of her back home becomes difficult, bring her here with you. We’ll figure out the rest."

"I... will. Thanks. I’ll tell her about you, but I’m introducing you as my boyfriend."

"I am your boyfriend. That’s just how it is. What did you think I considered you as?"

"Sex slave?" [Speech: 06]

"What?"

Liam nearly hit the brakes in the middle of the freeway. Alexandra didn’t even blush. Instead, a cheeky smile slowly appeared on her face, and just like that, all the heavy tension she had been carrying seemed to melt away, revealing the naughty side of her once again.

"So, should I drop you off at your place?"

"No! I’ll drive back later. First, introduce me to your little girlfriend."

"That? Alright."

...

A beautiful table had been set up in the main hall of Peacock Inn. One of their premium guests had requested top-notch service and booked the entire hall for an hour. The rest of the resident guests were being served in the auxiliary hall, while any new restaurant guests arriving during that time were politely turned away.

Megan came down first from her room with a curious look on her face and sat in one of the chairs at the table. The entire hall had only a single dining table with four chairs around it. Liam had invited her just fifteen minutes ago, and her hair was still slightly wet since she had only just taken a shower after coming back from the dorm.

I wonder who she is.

Megan was especially curious about the very pretty woman she had seen beside Liam when he entered his room earlier. Liam himself had also looked much taller compared to just this morning, which only made her more curious.

Since Megan had taken her shower in Liam’s room, she had gotten a clear look at the woman, while Clara was still showering in their room at the time and hadn’t seen her at all.

"Hey! You came really fast. What happened?"

Clara walked in wearing a blue dress, her hair neatly combed. She sat beside Megan with a smile, and only after settling into her chair did she notice just how empty the entire hall was.

"Welp! Here they come, so you better ask him."

Megan was about to respond, but the moment she saw Liam entering with the woman following beside him, she kept quiet and simply pointed towards them instead.

"Holy God Almighty, she is pretty and has almost the same-sized breasts as mine."
