He lost both of his parents due to a bank heist at the age of 14. Due to his young age, he joined an orphanage, but it turned out to be secretly owned by a group of gangsters.
He was exploited together with the other children in the orphanage, before finally, at the age of 16, he joined the gang, being valued for his intelligence.
Working for the gang as an accountant in charge of the income of the gang, he used all the money that he earned to purchase books on accounting. He wanted to study, gain real skills, and see if he could join a legitimate company as an accountant.
….
Who would have expected that due to his effort, one night, just as he was done reading, a holographic screen popped up in front of his eyes.
[System binding... Binding completed.]
[System activating... Activation completed.]
[Welcome to the Information to Mastery: Points Store System, Michael Santos.]
[Experience full. You have acquired beginner level accounting skills. +1 SP.]
He would have never thought that this was going to change his life completely. As long as he acquired information on a particular field, and studied it, the system could allow him to master the skills, even without doing physical practice.
[Experience full. Level up. Accounting skills upgraded to intermediate level. +10 SP.]
….
But that was not the craziest point. Using the store points that he received by acquiring skills, he could purchase anything from the store.
[Used 10 SP to acquire 100% shares of Riverside Hotel.]

Michael and Kate both left the hotel, neither of them speaking.


Michael was busy browsing the system store, trying to see if it was possible to acquire the Price Point supermarket chain.


This was the supermarket chain that was owned by the Kingsley family.


Within the system store, Michael found that he could acquire the supermarket chain. 


As for the price, it was 36,700 SP, which was an equivalent of $3.67 billion. With the current amount of SP that he had on him, it was impossible for Michael to be able to acquire this supermarket chain.


But still, as long as he went back and acquired another set of skills at the expert level, he should be able to have enough SP to be able to acquire the business.


But then, Michael thought of another possibility. For most of these big families, they definitely had to do some things in the dark, in order to be able to compete against their competitors.
