Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 – Swipe First, Making smiles

Darren stood in the center of the massive walk-in wardrobe of their new home, arms folded as he stared at the designer bags, rows of sleek suits, and the pile of receipts that could bankrupt a small company.

But for him… this was just the beginning.

[Bank Balance: £7,470,000]

[Expenditure Multiplier Range Active: x400 – x1000]

Spending tied to significant personal value and future emotional impact triggers higher yields.

He pulled up his system panel and opened a category he hadn't used much:

["Luxury Sentiment Spending" – emotional return-based booster active]

He smiled.

If he was going to blow a fortune for his sister and his mom, he needed to blow a fortune first — to make even more back. Like a gambler who always wins because the table was rigged in his favor.

Over the next 72 hours, Darren went on a private spree:

He commissioned two diamond-studded timepieces from Patek Philippe — one for himself, one for Aria.

Purchased five limited-edition Hermès Birkin bags, colors coordinated for his mom and sister's future moods.

Bought out an entire suite of Cartier diamond necklaces, bangles, and earrings, requesting them to be delivered in custom boxes with handwritten notes.

Ordered four couture dresses from Elie Saab for Aria — each requiring her exact measurements, flown in within days.

Reserved an ultra-private rooftop space at a five-star hotel for their shared birthday dinner — full orchestral performance included.

Booked a bespoke spa treatment for his mom, disguised under a fake "wellness raffle win" so she wouldn't suspect anything.

Each receipt was thousands to hundreds of thousands.

[Spend Total: £1,960,000]

[System Bonus Triggered – Emotional Investment Layered Spend Recognized]

[Multiplier: x850]

[Rebate Credited: £16,660,000]

[New Bank Balance: £24,130,000]

Darren nearly choked on his orange juice.

He stared at the number and exhaled. "Right… cars."

Next Stop: Lucian Luxe Auto Gallery

The dealership didn't look like a building — it looked like a statement. Polished glass walls, soft classical music in the background, and security that looked like private military.

The concierge recognized him immediately.

"Mr. Kairos, welcome. We've received your preferences. The lineup is waiting."

Darren followed him into a massive exhibition bay — sleek floors lit from below, casting a soft glow around three beasts of wealth and status.

1. His Car – Ferrari SF90 Stradale (Rosso Fuoco Red)

Hybrid. V8. 1000 horsepower.

From the shape to the whisper of its engine, it screamed dominance.

Price: £520,000

"This… feels right," Darren whispered, hand running over the hood.

2. His Sister's Car – Mercedes-Maybach S680 4MATIC (Diamond White with Rose Gold Trim)

Silky, elegant, and royal in every inch.

Built for luxury, not speed — for someone meant to be seen and respected.

Price: £360,000

"Perfect for Aria. She'll cry."

3. His Mother's Car – Lamborghini Urus Performante (Matte Black with Red Calipers)

An absolute juggernaut. Power wrapped in elegance.

Luxury SUV built for a woman who raised them like a warrior.

Price: £380,000

"She doesn't even like cars," Darren chuckled, "but this one will make her like it."

He paid in full.

[Triggering Targeted Gift Expenditure Bonus – Anticipated Emotional Peak Detected]

[Multiplier: x950]

[Rebate Credited: £11,970,000]

As he signed the papers, Darren scheduled deliveries.

His Ferrari? Immediate.

Aria's Maybach? Delivered on their birthday with a gold ribbon.

His mom's Urus? Delivered seven days later — along with the rest of her surprise.

That night, as he pulled into the driveway in his new car, his system chimed one last time:

[Milestone Achieved – "Provider of Dreams"]

You've now spent over £5 million on others from the heart.

Passive Income Boost: +£50,000 per week permanently added.

Darren smiled to himself.

"It's not about the money anymore. It's about what I do with it."
