79,950 dollars.
In a small cafe near Silverpine Ridge, Chris was seated, sipping a steaming hot coffee. He was excluded from a secret meeting, Grace and Melissa wanted some privacy, and he felt awkward seated in a different room, so he drove down the mountain to think about something else.
His fortune has grown devastatingly vast, and because he has never seen such vast wealth, keeping himself in check is also becoming hard. Browsing sports cars online has become his part-time hobby, but he also needs money for the Europe trip.
I can't be cheap with that trip, I had to go all out.
"Chris?"
A beautiful voice woke him up from his daydream. Chris had to turn his whole body to look at the source of the voice, a group of people were seated in a corner, and he knew everyone of them.
"Skipping school?"
Chris smiled, the six people seated were his classmates, a bunch of delinquents, one even looked pregnant.
"Not exactly. What are you doing here?"
The pregnant girl asked, she had a piercing on her lips. All six of them looked shocked seeing Chris in a random shop they chose, and also school was going on, so was he also skipping school?
"Waiting"
With an unusual smile and a polite nod, he turned around. He didn't care what they did, money was the thing that attracted him right now. Then a realization hit him: the six girls looked easy enough for him to use, a chance he might never get again.
A big smile formed on his face as he stood up, the coffee was abandoned with still half left in it, and his tall figure grabbed the attention of every table as his brown hair danced in the air.
"Cathy, what are you guys eating?"
Chris approached them with a smile that looked like he had won a lottery, using his sheer charisma, he sat beside them, and they obliged with their mouths open. Chris, the king of high school, was sharing a table with them, even if they took pictures right now, people would say it was edited.
"W…we were just having some pancakes with syrup. Are you hungry?"
Cathy tried to hide her baby bump, she was not sure how this miracle happened, but her heart won't stop beating like a drum. She even looked outside, but it was still covered with gloomy snow, inside she felt warm.
"In fact, I am not hungry at all, I just wanted to talk with you guys. I hope I am not disturbing you."
Seeing his polite smile, they looked at each other, shock was the first thing, then joy was in each and every one of their eyes. Even the waitress from the nearby table looked impressed with them, the aura of the table had shifted.
" No "
"Not disturbing at all."
"You are welcome anytime."
Chris nodded his head, then took off his woolen gloves and tore a piece from Cathy's pancake and tasted it. It felt too sweet, but his expression didn't change at all, it was still smiling, and he gently wiped his mouth, taking a napkin.
"Delicious, This is our last year. I have realized that I have not talked with you guys enough. They say school friendships last a lifetime. The last time I talked with Cathy was when we were just six.
"She was very brave in every way. Then you, Devin, you came from Philadelphia, we used to play around, you remember?"
"Yes!!! You also remember those days? I thought this was only me."
"Of course not, I remember everything. Grace also remembers everything. We talk about you guys a lot. Cassey, this scar you got by bu…" playing with another boy."
Chris's smile never left his face while he pointed at the forehead scar on Cassey, every one of them looked shocked beyond belief. They almost wanted to hug this man, but he was still far too pure for them.
"This? What are you guys even eating? Bland, Waitress, please clear this table of this Bland breakfast, give them Waffles, Hot chocolate and some French toast's "
He paused them from eating like he was the food police, then waved at the nearby waitress to grab her attention. When they opened their mouths to stop him, he just stood up and showed his credit card, the meaning was clear he was paying.
"My treat, girls. Don't worry about it. If you want anything more, you can order."
Being generous is the key to earning more money, people will believe anything if you flex hard enough, so Chris just wanted to flex enough to make them believe him while treating them to some food.
"Did you win a lottery or something?"
"You know what? I actually did, I bought a drive with $60,000 worth of bitcoin in it."

Oh? They believed it? But it counted as one lie.
"You bought sixty grand worth of coin?!!! With how much money?"
"$60,000? I just invested in it with my sister's money."
Chris has just found a loophole, he can change his lie direction after getting the reward. It was like this system was making him manipulative, he didn't mind if he was getting paid this handsomely.
"Oh? This is not a lottery, dude, you bought it."
"Yes!! This pocket also has a USB with $60,000 worth of Bitcoin.

Gullible.
"Grace is here, pull out your phones. I will give you guys one thousand worth of Bitcoin. Hurry."
Range Rover Autobiography LWB rolled in the parking lot as he was conversing, he pulled out his phone to give them the money he got from lying to Grace in school yesterday. He has $10,000 in it, or $10,005 now.
