Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations

As Ethan's gaze was still on the screen he couldn't understand the message he was seeing.

He eyes were widened in disbelief. His mind raced with possibilities, trying to comprehend the magnitude of what he had just unlocked.

"Could it be Magic?"

he whispered to himself, his voice trembling with a mixture of excitement and at the same time fear, because he didn't really understand what it meant.

"Am I really going to be able to wield some kind of supernatural power with this new found attribute or what?"

He continued staring at the screen, He was kind of expecting his body to start reacting to something, maybe start glowing or shooting sparks if it was magic. But they remained frustratingly normal, leaving him even more puzzled than before.

Just as he was about to give up and dismiss the whole thing as a glitch, another message popped up on the screen.

[Host can only use skill by saying it out loud. Once the host levels up to a higher level, Host wouldn't need to verbalize the skill anymore.]

Upon seeing the new message Ethan's eyebrows shot up, a smile spreading across his face knowing it wasn't a glitch.

"Ah, so that's how it works,"

he mused, nodding to himself. "Guess I better start grinding those levels then. No way am I going to be stuck shouting Aura! like some kind of anime protagonist."

He swiped the message away, taking a deep breath to steady himself. Then, feeling a bit foolish, he stood up straight and said in a clear, and firm voice.

"Aura."

Instantly, another message appeared.

[No specific targets. Host must fix his eyes on the intended target. Host would only be able to target a single person or animal due to the host's current level. Once the host ascends to a higher level, host would be able to target multiple targets simultaneously.]

At that moment Ethan's mind was filled with excitement, knowing the implication the new found attribute would do.

"So I have to actually look at someone to use this power on them? And right now, I can only target one person at a time?"

He let out a low whistle, shaking his head in amazement.

"But if I level up, I'll be able to take on whole groups at once? Damn, I really need to get cracking on those upgrades, I need it so badly."

He quickly did the math in his head again. To reach the next level, he needed to earn a profit of 200 billion dollars in his system bank through investments. It was a daunting task, but Ethan was nothing if not determined to accomplish it.

At that moment, he checked his system bank balance, fully expecting to see the same figures as before. But to his utter shock, the number had actually increased again which means the hospital is earning.

Ethan's jaw dropped, his eyes nearly bugging out of his head.

"What the hell?"

he muttered, refreshing the screen just to make sure he wasn't seeing things. But the new balance remained, taunting him with its impossibility.

He was just about to dive deeper into this mystery when he spotted the estate manager hurrying towards him, with a look filled with desperation on her face.

"Mr. Ethan!"

She called out, her voice dripping with false cheer.

"I just heard wonderful news from the former owner. Your esteemed family is now in charge of this entire estate! What an honor it is to have you here with us."

Ethan however just nodded, his expression carefully neutral. He could practically smell the brown-nosing from a mile away.

The manager continued, undeterred by her lack of enthusiasm.

"I wanted to let you know that just a few minutes ago, we were able to rent out some houses for a cool 10 million. But then Ms. Naomi came in and told us to put everything on hold. I just thought you should be aware..."

At the mention of the money, Ethan perked up, a slow smile spreading across his face.

"10 million, you say?"

Ethan said and the manager nodded multiple times.

Ethan knows the system will multiply that, so it's really 20 million in profit since he took over the estate?

"Well, well, well. That's not a bad start at all."

He said to himself with a smile.

He then turned to the manager, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Naomi is the new boss around here now,"

he said, his voice ferm living no room for arguments.

"And you? You'll be taking over the position of the lady that you fired. I trust that won't be a problem right?"

upon hearing what Ethan just said the manager's face fell, but she quickly plastered on a fake smile. "Of course not, Mr. Ethan. Whatever you say."

However Ethan could tell she was not happy inside, but he couldn't bring himself to care. He had bigger fish to fry.

With a final nod to the manager, he turned.

He needs to be heading towards school now. The football team has a practice session scheduled, and he didn't want to be late.

Not long after he arrived at the school and headed to the field.

But as he approached the field, he saw a familiar figure blocking his path. It was Jay, his face twisted into a sneer of pure hatred as he stood in Ethan's way.

"Well, well, well,"

Jay drawled, his voice dripping with Mockery.

"If it isn't the golden boy himself. You think you're so special, don't you? With your fancy moves and the money you won you think you're on top of the world now. But I see right through you."

He took a step closer, his fists clenched at his sides.

"You're nothing but a fraud, Ethan. A cheat and a liar. And I'm going to expose you for the fake that you are."

However Ethan just stood there, his face impassive. He could feel the eyes of his teammates boring into him, waiting to see how he would react.

Jay continued his tirade, his voice rising with each word.

"Go ahead, Ethan. Hit me. I dare you. Show everyone what a loose cannon you really are. One punch, and you'll be off the team faster than you can say your name"

At that moment Ethan's mind raced, weighing his options he wanted to punch Jay so he could see he's just a nobody, but at the same time. He knew Jay was trying to bait him, to get him to lash out and break the practice rules. But he also knew he could just stand there and take the abuse until the coach arrived.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Suddenly, a wicked grin spread across his face. He locked eyes with Jay, his gaze unwavering.

Then he said.

"Aura."
