Chapter 5 - rise of the predator

Arthur walked out of the company building, and instead of feeling exhausted, he felt a strange surge of energy pulsing through his veins. Suddenly, his vision flickered again:

[Congratulations on reaching Level 2!]

[Level-up Reward: $100,000 Cash + Investment Radar Activated]

Arthur didn't smile like a normal man; his eyes remained cold and sharp. In an instant, the street before him transformed into a "data board." Green and red arrows floated above buildings and corporations.

He stopped in front of a luxury hotel where a business conference was being held. His "Investment Radar" pinged a golden opportunity: "Nova Tech."

[Investment Opportunity: Nova Tech]

[Current Status: Imminent Bankruptcy]

[System Prediction: 1000% Jump within 24 hours (Due to a secret patent)]

Arthur entered the hotel with the confidence of an old-money billionaire. There, he crossed paths with the woman they called the "Man-Eater" of the financial world, Sia Vance.

"Who are you?" Sia asked, scanning him with a condescending gaze. "I don't recall seeing your face on the guest list."

Arthur activated his [Analytical Vision]:

[Name: Sia Vance]

[Psychological State: Arrogant, under heavy pressure from the board]

[Weakness: Desperately seeking a "miracle" to save her professional reputation]

Arthur leaned in close to her ear and whispered coldly, "I am the miracle you're looking for, Sia. Buy 'Nova Tech' stocks now, and kiss my hand tomorrow when you become the richest woman in London."

He left her stunned and vanished into the crowd, as a new message appeared:

[Side Quest: Make 'Sia Vance' your loyal subordinate.]

[Reward: Skill 'Verbal Hypnosis'.]
