Regression - Second Chance At Life

Chapter 13: Get Rich Quick

Once Julia disappears into her room, Adam heads back to his and drops down on his bed and stares at his ceiling as he takes it all in.

As he reminisces over everything that happened today, he can fathom how any of this is real. Itʼs a fairy tale, a dream, something that shouldnʼt be real, but here he is, living it, feeling more alive than ever.

In fact, it is his past life that feels more like a dream than the one he is experiencing now.

Adam brings his hand in front of his face and stares at it. He recalls how Brandon tried to assert his dominance over him, but he retaliated and almost broke his arm.

ʼHow strong am I really?ʼ Adam questions. Sure, this new body feels amazing, but he doesnʼt know just how strong it really is.

ʼLetʼs test it out...ʼ Adam thinks, and rolls off the bed, landing on the floor with his hands and legs making contact with the ground first. He easily breaks his fall with his strength.

Now, in a push-up position, he begins doing push-ups. Ten push-ups, easy. Twenty, he doesnʼt even break a sweat. Thirty, no problem. Fifty, still doesnʼt feel any fatigue. Hundred, still nothing.

Adam realizes itʼs useless to continue this because now it has become more of a test of his musclesʼ endurance than strength.

But this also allowed him to learn that not only is he strong, but his endurance is also off the charts.

With a strong push with his hands, he immediately swings up back to his feet and doesnʼt feel anything. Itʼs as if he didnʼt even do a single push-up.

”Letʼs see what else is going on in the world currently,” Adam murmurs and walks up to his computer and turns it on.

He looks at his PC and feels some admiration for it. Everything inside this PC is the latest hardware one can find at this time. As an introvert with too much money, his younger self spent a lot of money buying the latest hardware every year.

As he looks at his past actions, he canʼt help but marvel at his own stupidity on how much money he wasted on these hardwares. If he had saved that money, he would have had at least an extra ten thousand dollars at hand.

Sitting down in his chair, he opens the browser and begins looking through the internet to recall if there is anything he can remember.

After ten minutes in, he suddenly stumbles into something, and his mind immediately lights up.

ʼWhat day was it again?ʼ he questions and looks at the date. September 2, 2023.

Seeing the date, he quickly opens a crypto website to check the price.

ʼFucking shit... yes!ʼ Adam thinks, and his eyes widen with extreme delight. He canʼt believe his luck.

As a man from the future, he knows that Crypto will be a massive thing, and people who invested in it became super rich.

Adam, too, was planning to invest in it as he would be an idiot not to after coming back to the past, but that shouldnʼt have garnered this much excitement from Adam because it would take some time for his investments to bear fruit.

The reason Adam is excited is because of todayʼs date, or the day that is about to come.

Crypto would definitely be huge in the future, and it will take some time. But there are big players out there who have had their eyes on this new type of currency for years, and they are about to make a move.

Before crypto blows up in price in the future permanently, it blew up once before that, but not naturally.

Some big players, bulls, saw this crypto as a pump and dump scheme, so they hiked up its value, making millions of average potential investors salivate over the immense returns and invest in it, only for the rug to be pulled from beneath their feet.

In a few days, the price of crypto will rise exponentially, and many will invest in it. Some smart and not-so-greedy will pull out before the rug is pulled, earning them a lot, while most lose their money.

Of course, the ones who think they lost all their money will get it back as the price of crypto will rise naturally in the future.

Of course, Adam doesnʼt give a shit about all those people, this huge rub pull scheme is the best option for him to multiply his money.

So, without wasting any time, he puts the fifty thousand dollars in his bank and buys a lot of crypto coins with it.

The price of one coin is about 500 dollars right now. Seeing the hundred crypto coins in his account, a big smile appears on his face.

ʼI have struck gold,ʼ he thinks. Within a few days, he is going to become a millionaire.

”Who would have thought I would be so lucky, coming back to a day just before this massive rug pull, hehehe,” Adam grins like a monkey all to himself.

He remembers how big an impact this had on people all over the internet. Some people put their everything into it only to lose it all. Some people even killed themselves after seeing the value of the currency plummet to an all-time low.

Luckily, Adam knows just when to pull out.

As Adam relishes in his newfound wealth, he hears the ring of the doorbell coming from downstairs.

He looks at the time and sees itʼs 5 PM. ”They are here,” he murmurs and gets up from his chair and heads down.

Walking down the stairs, he sees Julia approach the door and open it. A middle-aged lady wearing big glasses and a suit greets Julia.

Adam arrives at the door and sees three other women standing behind the glasses-wearing woman, respectfully.

As Adam lays his eyes on the three women behind him, he has already made his decision. As for what Julia thinks, he doesnʼt care. He knows he can easily go over her.

”Come in,” he hears Julia call them in.

”My pleasure,” the glasses-wearing woman says and steps in. She then signals the other three women to follow suit.

Julia turns and sees Adam and gives him an annoyed stare. Adam looks back at her and smirks.

They then move to the living room. Adam and Julia take a seat on the couch while the woman wearing glasses begins introducing the three women who are going to work.

She first introduces a Caucasian woman who is in her 40s and has average looks and body. Adam has no interest in her.

Then the 60-year-old Latin woman in introduced, who also has the most experience when it comes to taking care of household duties, but she too doesnʼt interest Adam.

Then the glasses-wearing woman finally introduces the girl Adam has had his eyes on from the very beginning.

”This is Xu Lin. She lives with her father, who is very sick, so she works very hard for his treatment. She is also very obedient, and even though she is young, she makes delicious food, and knows how to take care of almost all household work.”

Adamʼs eyes lock onto Xu Lin as he checks her out.

She has straight black hair, beautiful dark brown eyes, a small, round nose, a small mouth, but nice lips, and an oval-shaped face. She is beautiful, and Adam wants her.

”I have made my choice,” Julia suddenly speaks up, and Adam knows her choice.

She will choose the old Latin lady because of her experience, as Adam remembers her from the past, she is the same old lady who worked for them.

In the past, Adam was not involved in the maid selection process, so he didnʼt know that Julia had rejected such a cute girl. But now that Adam is here, he is not going to let her have her way.

”Julia,” Adam suddenly speaks up, grabbing everyoneʼs attention, as this is the first time he has spoken since their arrival.

”Letʼs discuss before you make any decision. Ladies, can you please wait in the kitchen while Julia and I discuss this?” Adam says. His tone carries a lot of authority, which cannot be ignored.

”As you wish, sir,” the glasses-wearing woman says and takes the ladies with her to the kitchen.

Julia frowns as he gives Adam an annoyed stare.

”Donʼt even think about it,” she says. She can already tell Adamʼs intentions.

Adam smirks. ”Oh, and who are you to tell me what to do?” Adam questions back.

”This should be none of your business. I am the one who needs a maid the most, so it should be my decision,” Julia says.

”Fair point, but I donʼt give a shit what you think,” Adam says smirking at her.

”Donʼt push me, Adam!” Julia says.

”Hahaha, letʼs be real here, Julia. You canʼt do anything to me, so letʼs stop with the threat. Also, I am choosing Xu Lin for your own good,” Adam says.

Folding her hands below her breasts, Julia humphs, ”And how is that?” she questions.

Adam doesnʼt answer her directly; instead, his eyes lock onto her perfect, round breasts as they almost pop out from her sexy black dress.

ʼSoon, they are going to be mine,ʼ Adam thinks.
