I hurried to get on Discord to talk with my friends. I didn't tell them about my new system, but I made them believe that I had secretly passed my driving test and succeeded in online business.
I told them I was coming over and that we were going out. They all agreed, so I got ready and climbed into my dream car.
System, open my status.

I arrived at their place at full speed. Once the car was full and the music was blasting (AMG - H.LA DROGUE), I started drifting everywhere I could. To be honest, I hadn't had this much fun in ages.
I went back home after dropping everyone off and went to bed.
When I woke up, I wanted to do another multi, but that's when I realized I had no more money. I had a nice car, but that was it.
After a few hours of not knowing what to do, I decided to call my big brother, who is currently in Bali. He had made it in life and knew how to make money quickly.
I'm in my apartment, the phone pressed to my ear. Julien's calm voice resonates from the other end, all the way from Bali.
"Did you understand what I told you, Alexandre?" he asks me.
"Yes, yes, I told you I'm ready. I just want to know how to make money quickly. I'm tired of struggling."
He sighs slightly. "It's a dangerous world, Alex. You have to be sure you're ready to take the risks. This isn't a game."
"I'm not afraid of anything or anyone; you know that. Just tell me what to do," I reply firmly.
Julien hesitates for a moment. "Alright. Listen carefully. Go to the address I sent you. It's an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. You'll find a shipment there. Take the package and head to the delivery point I'll indicate."
I furrow my brow. "A warehouse? A shipment? What kind of business is this, Julien?"
His voice turns colder. "This isn't the time for questions. You want to make money quickly? Then do as I say."
"Wait, are you telling me you're involved in something illegal? It's drugs, isn't it?"
"You wanted a quick solution, Alex. This is the only way I know. Now you're in. If you want out, say it now," he says calmly.
Taken aback, I stammer, "I... I didn't know it was like this. But I'm already too involved, right? I'm not backing out."
"Exactly. Now listen closely. Pick up the package, deliver it to Marc at the club downtown. Introduce yourself as 'the twilight shadow.' That's the password," he instructs.
"Alright. 'The twilight shadow,' got it. And how much do I get for this?" I ask, determined.
"Enough to make you want to continue, and enough for you to realize the value of the risk. Be careful, Alex. One misstep and everything can go wrong," he replies with a cold smile I can almost hear through the phone.
"I'll handle it, Julien. Trust me."
"Good. Call me once the mission is complete. We'll discuss the next steps. And Alex, be careful," he says seriously.
"Always," I respond with a confident smile.
"I think I've gotten myself into something over my head," I said, my smile filled with excitement.
