Three days after VIREX’s explosive soft launch, Ethan Reyes walked through the bustling halls of Northern University—not as the forgettable loser everyone used to mock, but as a phantom success story nobody could quite recognize.

He still wore a plain outfit—dark jeans, black tee, no logos—but something in his walk, his posture, his eyes… had changed. Heads turned. Conversations paused. People squinted, wondering if this was the same guy they used to laugh at.

Most weren’t sure.

And Ethan didn’t bother correcting them.

He was here for one reason only: to collect something he left behind.

His degree.

Not because he needed it—but because he could.

Inside the administration office, the same grumpy lady who used to ignore him now gave him a forced, polite smile.

“Mr. Reyes? We’ve received notice that your tuition balance has been… cleared in full,” she said, checking her screen. “And you’ve submitted your final thesis externally. Everything looks good.”

“I’d like to process my exit,” Et

    The meeting was over, but the echoes of Ethan’s words still hung in the air like the scent of fresh gunpowder after a battle. The boardroom had become his battlefield, and he had walked away victorious. Still, Ethan knew that one victory was never the war itself—it was only the opening move.He stepped out of the sleek corporate building, sunlight spilling over his face, but his mind was far from the warmth of the day. His phone buzzed twice in quick succession.[Incoming Call: Unknown Number]He hesitated for a second, then answered.“Ethan Reyes,” he said.A low, controlled voice responded, “You don’t know me, but I know you. I watched what you did in there today.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed. “And who exactly are you?”“Let’s just say… someone who dislikes the same people you do. We should meet. Tonight. The Haven, 9 PM.”The line went dead before Ethan could respond.By the time the sun dipped below the skyline, Ethan was already dressed for the meeting. The Haven was no ordinary restau

    The evening lights of the city glimmered like fallen stars scattered across the earth. Ethan stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of his penthouse, the warm amber glow of the room contrasting with the cool blue cityscape beyond. In his hand, a glass of sparkling water reflected the flickering light from the chandelier above. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind—investment deals finalized, enemies quietly dismantled, and whispers of his rising influence spreading like wildfire.But Ethan knew better than to bask too long in comfort. The higher one climbed, the more visible they became. And visibility invited danger.The Trillionaire System’s voice echoed in his mind, calm and mechanical.[Host’s current net worth: $3.7 billion.] [Daily passive income: $4.3 million.] [Warning: Unknown entities are monitoring your activities.]Ethan’s eyes narrowed slightly at the last line. “Unknown entities… How many?” he asked under his breath.[Four confirmed. Two suspected. None have yet made a

    The rhythmic hum of Ethan’s new luxury sedan was almost hypnotic as it rolled down the city’s neon-lit streets. The city never truly slept, but tonight felt different. The air was heavier. Charged. As if something unseen was watching.He glanced at the dashboard. The Trillionaire System’s interface glowed faintly on his phone screen, displaying fluctuating numbers and real-time business analytics. Stocks, crypto assets, property valuations—it was all going up. His net worth had skyrocketed again overnight. Yet, his mind wasn’t at peace.“System,” he said quietly, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. “Why do I feel like I’m being followed?”[ALERT: Unidentified surveillance detected in proximity. Source: Unknown.]Ethan’s jaw tightened. So it wasn’t just paranoia. Someone was actually tailing him.He slowed the car slightly and took an unexpected turn into a narrow side street—a little trick his late-night Grab driving days had taught him. In the rearview mirror, a dark SUV follo

    Ethan didn’t bother to listen to the lecture that morning. The professor’s voice faded into background noise, replaced by the cold yet oddly reassuring tone of the Trillionaire System in his head.[Advanced Negotiation Skill unlocked: All persuasion attempts gain a +50% success rate when backed by facts, leverage, or money.] [Additional Bonus: You can instinctively sense your opponent’s hidden fears during conversations.]The corners of Ethan’s lips curved slightly. This isn’t just a skill, he thought. It’s a weapon.As the class ended, he walked out with deliberate calm. His mind was already focused on his next move. The incident with Lance had given him sudden, explosive visibility, but fame alone was useless if it didn’t translate into tangible power. The System seemed to read his mind.[New Opportunity Detected: Acquisition of Focal Point Café chain.] [Estimated Cost: $3.2 million.] [Potential Profit: $15 million within 12 months.] [Special Condition: The negotiation must take

    The sun had barely risen, but the campus was already alive with the chatter of students. Groups huddled near the cafeteria, gossiping about the most recent scandal—a certain senior who had been caught plagiarizing his thesis—but none of them knew that today, a far bigger storm was brewing.Ethan walked into the university gates with a calm, unreadable expression. To the average eye, he seemed unchanged—still the quiet nerd in worn-out sneakers and a faded hoodie. But beneath that calm exterior, an entirely different man was taking shape. His phone buzzed softly in his pocket, a reminder from the Trillionaire System:[Daily Investment Yield: $12,417,890 credited to account.] [Special Mission Available: Humiliate Your Bully – Reward: Advanced Negotiation Skill + $5,000,000]The system’s voice, cold yet oddly encouraging, lingered in his head. “Opportunities don’t wait, host. Neither should you.”He didn’t need to be told twice.As he headed toward his lecture hall, Ethan’s eyes caught

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 15 The Phantom Syndicate

    Rain fell in rhythmic sheets over the skyline, smearing neon reflections across Ethan’s penthouse windows. The world outside buzzed with chaos—headlines, political upheavals, financial tremors. Yet inside, everything was eerily calm.Ethan stood alone in his private command center, the System projecting holographic streams of data midair. Three of his top recruits—Javier, Lin Mei, and Elijah—were integrating rapidly. New wings of VIREX were forming, each more powerful than the last.But tonight wasn’t about expansion.It was about a whisper.A ghost name.The Phantom Syndicate.It started as a rumor.A forgotten comment from Javier: “Even the Coalition fears someone. They call it the Phantom Syndicate.”Ethan dismissed it at first—until the System flagged repeated mentions buried in encrypted global financial records, darknet dropboxes, and redacted government leaks. No hard proof. Just a pattern.But the deeper he looked, the more he saw one thing clearly:Wherever the Phantom Syndic
