During the break, a friend of Max's, Nick stopped him and blurted out: "Max, I'm very worried."
"Mm? What happened?" Max asked.
"My father went out last night to buy rice and he hasn't come back yet. What do I do?" Nick asked.
"I don't know, make pasta?" Max said.
"Damn, I'm serious here, man." Nick is upset.
"Calm down, I'm kidding." Max tapped him on the shoulder and said, "He's not at some woman's house out there, he's still single, is he?"
"Yes, I sigh, that's why I didn't try calling the police." Nick said sadly: "I tried to call him, but the old man won't answer, dammit, want to punch him in the face!"
"Go and punch him when you see him, you'll feel better." Max encourages him.
"Damn, do you want my death? Haven't you seen my father yet? He takes two of me, he rips me in half if I punch him…" Nick looked crestfallen.
Nick receives a short message.
Dad: [I'm fine, bye.]
"See, he's fine." Max laughed.
"..."
Nick was speechless. 'Did this bastard disappear when he went to buy rice and the next day he just sends a message saying he's okay?'
"Okay, I'm leaving now, my girlfriend is waiting." Max slapped Nick on the shoulder.
"Damn, now that you've got a girlfriend are you going to forget about your friends?" Nick asked upset.
"Yes." Max replied without hesitation.
"Xó, xó, go there with your girlfriend then." Nick looked like he was shooing a dog.
"Want to go with us?" Max asked.
"Hold candle? No thank you." Nick refused.
"Is that so?" Max walked away.
"Have you finished talking to him?" Isabella who was waiting, asked gently.
"Yes." Max put his arm around her neck: "Shall we go to the terrace?"
"No, this time it should be full, let's eat in the living room?" Isabella asked.
"Okay." Max nodded. He knew she brought a lunch box again.
As they sat down and unwrapped the lunchboxes Isabella said with a smile: "You have to be nice to Nick, the rest of your friends stopped talking to you because you started dating me."
"Tsk, friends like them I don't even want to. If they are able to abandon me because of this, imagine if I am in a dangerous situation and need help? They'll be the first to push me off a cliff and watch me die." Max scoffed.
"I agree." Isabella nodded.
"Enough bullshit, now I'm going to eat the lunch box my girlfriend made with all the love and affection for me." Max smiled.
"Love and affection, my ass..." Isabella muttered.
"Oh? Will you give me your ass? But we haven't even made it to the secret garden... Wow! I'm going to go up a few levels because of this." Max joked.
" Fool, you know I didn't mean that damn you, you always exchange my words, I hate you!" Isabella turned red.
"You hate me?" Max looked hurt.
"Not, I love you." Isabella said hastily.
"Haha, that's good." Max smiled.
"..."
Knowing that she was deceived again, Isabella decided to remain silent.
"Do you know what's missing?" Max said suddenly.
"No what?" Isabella was worried, after all, she made this lunch box very carefully.
A mischievous smile curved Max's face, Isabella had already predicted that no good would come of this, and then she saw him point to his lips and heard him say, "Your lips on mine."
"..."
Getting up and stepping across the table, she kissed his lips quickly, like a bird pecking at water, and came back.
"There, no more." Seeing his stunned expression, Isabella got a smug expression.
Max after a few seconds licked his lips: "Delicious."
This gesture made Isabella blush to her ear.
'Damn it!' She cursed in her mind.
Finished eating, Max rested his right hand on his face and stared admiringly at Isabella.
"Stop to look," Isabella said.
"For you," Max said.
"I spoke first!" Isabella refuted.
"I don't care, I want to look at you." Max said and added, "You're beautiful even when you're eating."
"..."
Isabella lowered her head and tried to eat hidden.
Max laughed.
Suddenly Max said, "Do you know what the Math book says to the History book?"
Isabella looks at him and says smugly, "Don't give me a story that I'm already full of problems?"
"Bingo!" Max smiled.
" Hehe, that was easy." Isabella smiled too.
"Max! This has already gone overboard!" A boy knocked on his desk.
"Mm?" Max looked at the boy, it was Felipe Captain of Basketball. He was tall, fair skinned, brown eyes, black hair, and visible muscles.
"Enlighten me," Max said slowly.
"What is there to clarify? Of course, I'm talking about the fact that you're dating Isabella, you don't deserve her!" He says out loud.
"Tsk, tsk, Rafael, do you know the difference between your opinion and pizza?" Max asked.
"Which?" Felipe even angry, he asked.
"I ordered the pizza," Max replied coldly and with his right hand, he squeezed Felipe's wrist, who was leaning on the table.
"Ahhhhh!"
Max's grip was too strong, it was something he couldn't handle and he ended up screaming out loud.
"Let go of me, you son of a bitch!" Felipe yelled.
"So fresh, so weak, and you still think you can have a say in my life? Go, get out of here, take care of your life, because I take care of mine." Max said pushing Felipe, making him bump into the table right behind.
"Wow!"
Those who thought Max would be beaten were surprised. After all, Felipe was tall and captain of the basketball, his body was very strong, and there are rumors that he fought against two students from another school and won. Now seeing Max make him back down so easily like he was pushing a little kid, made them look at Max with a new look.
"Max is right, I don't like you, I never liked you, and don't mess with my life, because like Max said, I take care of my life!" Isabela said coldly.
"Ahhhhhh!" If Max's hammering wasn't enough, Isabella's hammered the entire nail, Felipe left screaming and even crying.
"Poor man, your traumatize the boy." Max turned to Isabella and smiled.
" Humph!" Isabella huffed and turned her face arrogantly.
At the end of class, Max ended up reading 840,000 words and earned $1,600.
"Isabella, go home without me, I have something to do," Max told her.
"Hunting women?" Isabella looked suspicious.
"Of course not. It's another thing, relax." Max gave a reassuring smile.
"I know..." Isabella didn't fully trust him.
"Here, I called an Uber for you, I'll come home later." Max kissed her and made her enter Uber.
After Isabella left, he started walking.
Max transferred all the money to a bank account. Opening the app he saw his balance.
[Current balance: $53,866,719]
'Now... I need to spend 10 million.' It was a difficult subject. He didn't know expensive places, the only thing he had in mind was a car and a house.
"Oh, what a cruel life, why can't I spend 10 million?" Max wanted to scream.Oops , he ended up screaming.
Of course, the people on the street who heard him thought he was a lunatic and a dreamer.
"If it's that hard, give it to me." A few muttered and Max was able to hear.
'Tsk, if I could, do you think I wouldn't have done it already?' Max scoffed in his mind.
'Oh yes, I can buy stocks, yes, I said I made this money in the stock market, I will at least try with 10 million, if I lose, bad luck.' Max thought.
Downloading the application: TradeMap, Max registered, took a photo, also took a photo of his documents... After the registration was finally complete, he deposited 10 million...
'Does it look like I need to invest?' Since the mission wasn't finished, he thought it was because he didn't get to invest.
After all that, he thought and invested 10 million in cryptocurrencies: Ethereum.
[< Spend $10 Million in 2 Days Journey was successful. Reward: $22,000; (200) Bronze Card; (100) Silver Card; (10) Gold Card; Time Stop 1 Second – LV2; Aura of Genius – LV1.>]
[Time Stop 1 Second – LV2: 10-second interval.]
[Aura of Genius – LV1: What a normal person needs 1 hour to understand, with Aura of Genius LV1 it takes less than 1 minute.]
'Haha. Amazing!' Max was delighted with the Aura of Genius.
He reads a lot of books, but he doesn't always understand so easily, doesn't that mean he can read even faster too?
'Haha, fuck the 10 million, even if I lose all that, me, Max Smith, don't care!' Max was grinning from ear to ear.
'I won't open the Cads here, I better go home.' Max reflected.

"Welcome back, Max." Isabella smiled at him and said seductively wearing a pink apron, "What do you want: dinner, shower, or me?"
"Oh, taking a shower seems like a good choice, I'll go with it," Max said.
"Seriously, you're really not going to choose this here." She ran her hand over her thighs and then cupped her breasts as she fidgeted erotically: "And this is all here?"
Max swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said seriously: "Isa... I'm warning you, if you try me this much, I'm going to turn into a ferocious beast!"
"Oh, what a fear~" She ran away.
Max shook his head and kicked off his shoes, putting on a house slipper.
When he arrives in the living room, he sees the video game and thinks of the last VR that came out. There's a lot of hype about it, and it says it's even more real than real life, which is pure nonsense.
However, what it promises is very seductive, it says being able to touch, listen, taste, feel pain, basically everything that happens in real life, you can feel in the game. Even the feeling of dying.
'This is currently around $100,000 before I didn't even dream of buying, but now it might be interesting...' Of course, Max understands that if he waits a few months the price will drop like water. That's pre-release pricing.
Opening the site, he saw that it opens on June 25th. 'There are only a few days left. There's still 5... I'll book all five!' Max was decisive and has already booked and paid for five VR Futures.
"Hello, Sarah?"
"If it's not me, then who is it?" On the other end of the line, Sarah rolled her eyes.
"A thief who stole your cell phone?" Max said.
"Tsk, enough of this, are you ready?" Sarah asked.
Max frowned and then remembered that he and Isabella had promised to go to the amusement park: "Yes, yes, can you pick us up at address: XXXXX?"
"Yeah, it'll take me 10 minutes to get there." Sarah hung up.
"Isa!! We are screwed!" Max yelled.
Isabela came out dressed up in a pretty pink fishtail dress, v-neck, and black high heels. Her hair was wavy loose and her lips were streaked with red lipstick. She was feeling empowered!
"Are you not ready yet?" She asked.
"..."
'But it's that apron, and all that seduction!!" Max complained in his mind but wasn't able to say it out loud.
"I'll be back in 1 minute." Max ran to his room.
'I forgot to buy belts…' Breathless, Max returned wearing a white T-shirt and jeans and white sneakers, and a watch that looked very expensive. Though simple, he was amazing.
'Simple but perfect.' Isabella assessed.
[
"Mm?" Max was surprised by what appeared on his retina.
