After my terrible encounter those bastards dropped me back where they found me like we never met and drove off.
The hotel staff were worried since my kidnapping was caught on their CCTV, but I put it off bringing the cops to the matter will do more harm than good.
I just wanted to be alone for the rest of the day.
"I thought I'll fall asleep as soon I lied down but I haven't blinked once"
Even if I try to put it off I can't.
I let myself get carried away and paid the price for it. Now I'm flat broke. How stupid can I be?
Dammit! Damnit! Damn it!!… I should have never gotten involved with that bastard.
No, I have become so clueless about what I'm trying to do. I'm literally trying to overcome all odds to live comfortably in the apocalypse. For sure many are going to target me the moment they realize my surpluses.
Even If I'm to play it safe I can't overcome all dangers. I'm going to have to face people like Tony or even more dangerous people later on.
I can't avoid those battles for sure.
It's a good thing I got ahead of myself and lost this early in the game when the punishment is still minimal.
I'll engrave this loss deep and plan smarter from now on. My goal is not naive.
To live a comfortable life, for that to happen I need to set my priorities straight.
A tree that has been cut down will surely grow back stronger… My goal right now is to dominate everything around me to keep that life.
While I may have lost all my funds, it's not the end of it. I still have the two hundred thousand I invested in crypto. How much has it risen during this period?
Tsk!... Only four hundred million so far. Still not enough to continue my plan.
At this rate it seems I'm going to have to rob dad's warehouse to make up for it.
But I seriously don't want those bland junk called food. Mom and Dad deserves to eat things of the highest quality. If only I had more ways to get free money.
"Uh who's calling me?"
Unknown number?
"Hello"
"Yo it's Stephan… I managed to pass your message down. Put simply our boss has agreed to meet you. He wants you to come to the grand casino this night, and I don't need to mention you're to come clean"
That was quick…
Like I'll be stupid to bring a weapon when I'm walking into one of the biggest cartel joints.
"I understand. Thanks for passing the message"
But I think I just got an Idea on how to make more money.
I spent the remaining day registering in as many loan apps that I could get my hands on. If there's been apps that can dispense money so easily I must be crazy for not thinking about it sooner.
After spending 17 hours online I managed to register in 102 different apps. Some I registered twice but that worked out fine. Though their maximum loans were really disappointing, after gathering them together I managed to garner 98 million.
"Well It's getting late now. Guess I should start heading out"
I'll deposit the money inside crypto for the time being. The value of Bitcoin is at least going to triple in value. And I need as much money as I can possibly get my hands on now.
Hopefully Red can cut me a deal if I tell him about that.
