“Ring ring ring!”

A cell phone rang.

Thomson picked up the cell phone and looked at the caller ID.

It was a call from someone under the name Little Gates, and when he picked up the call, he heard a warm voice from the other end of the phone.

“Hello, boss, how have you been recently?”

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Thomson rubbed his ears. Annoyance was written all over his face.

He replied, “It’s been pretty good.”

It was clear in his voice that he did not want to talk to the person on the other end of the phone.

The caller, however, simply pretended not to hear it and continued the conversation as if it was nothing.

“That’s good.”

“Well, boss, my company has met with some problems recently.”

“Something happened to a collaboration we had with the neighboring country’s leading company. The other party suddenly withdrew their investment for some reason that we don’t know. This project is supposed to bring in tens of billions in profit if it’s successful. However, now that the other party has pulled back, I’m put in a difficult position.

“So I called to ask you, what should I do?”

“You see… Do you think you can…”

When Thomson heard that it was a business matter again, he became irritated.

He shouted angrily into the phone, “Didn’t I tell you? I don’t care about business matters anymore. Right now, all I want is to live an ordinary life with my wife. If you dare disturb me again, I’ll make you suffer.”

The person shuddered at the sound of Thomson’s angry voice and did not dare to speak up for a while.

Then, just as he was about to say something, he heard a series of beeping sounds from the phone.

Thomson had hung up the phone.

The person who was listed down as Little Gates looked at his phone helplessly. The notion that the richest person in the world, who had a net worth of more than a trillion dollars, does not want to make money anymore and instead, live a normal life with his wife was crazy… 

Nevertheless, he dared not say it out loud. If Thomson were to catch wind of this, he, the so-called richest man in the world on paper would go bankrupt overnight. 

Anyone, who was at the same financial status as him, would believe that statement because they knew how terrifying Thomson was.

Thomson’s rise to success was considered a miracle as it only took him five years to go from a nobody to the richest man in the world

No matter the leaders of the world, the world’s elites, or the world’s wealthiest people, they were all secretly amazed.

However, they would never know that Thomson’s business acumen was a world away from theirs.

His ability to become the richest man in the world was dependent on a system.

At Thomson’s 18th birthday party that his friends and family threw him, he drank until he was unconscious.

When he woke up the next morning, a sound suddenly came into his mind.

“Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the god-level investment system.”

Once he understood the terrifying ability of the system, Thomson gave up his studies and ventured out into society.

Some, who did not know Thomson well, thought that he did not like studying and wanted to earn a living at an earlier age.

What they did not expect was that he would go on to become the richest man in the world.

After dropping out of school, Thomson rose rapidly with the support of the system.

In no time, he was rich, but it also came with a cost — he was targeted by many people.

To prevent others from finding out that he had the system, he decided to stay behind the scenes and never show his identity again.

Then one day, he found Little Gates, who was selling flowers by the roadside. He immediately took pity on the handsome little boy and with his help, the little boy rose to success. 

Over time, they both became one of the richest men in the world.

At the start, the two of them navigated the entire American financial world, starting a series of god-level operations.

They fooled some of the big shots in the financial world. With the help of the system’s advice, they quickly defeated one big shot after another and made a lot of money.

One of their achievements was still quite talked about even up to this day. It was the struggle between the top three financial groups in the world and a fledgling named Gates. 

The three major financial groups initially held the upper hand, but they lost it all in one night. They were all confused as to how their stocks had devalued so suddenly. That was because, with Thompson’s help, Little Gates managed to turn the situation around and win the fight. 

Soon after that, Thompson found that the financial world was not profitable anymore, so he turned to real estate.

Not only did he invest in his own country but other countries around the world as well.

In just a few years, all the money in the world was in his pocket.

At that time, Thomson was only 23 or 24 years old — the age where he was at the prime of life and liked to show off.

He lived in the world’s most luxurious villa, and every day, dozens of servants served him.

The water he used to rinse his mouth daily came from a natural water reserve spanning thousands of square meters. He even built a five-star Michelin restaurant in his villa and recruited the world’s most famous chef to cook for him. Every day, the chef served only him.

Moreover, Thomson did not like sharing the sea with others when he wanted to go on a holiday. So, he bought 75% of the shares of the company that owned a particular sea area at a cost of tens of billions. Whenever he wanted a holiday, he would order the blockade of this sea area, all for himself.

He lived a luxurious life every day, but eventually, he got a little sick of it. Thomson was sick of the people who flattered him, and he was sick of having countless people by his side every time he walked out.

One day, he made a decision that shocked the wealthy elites. He planned to step down from his position and become an ordinary person; Thomson wanted to enjoy life.

This news instantly caused a downturn in the stock market for a long time, which almost led to an economic crisis. 

However, Thomson had already made up his mind to not care about these things anymore.

With the help of his friends, he moved to a small city and found a six-to-nine job, starting his life as an ordinary person.

At that moment, a crisp and melodious voice interrupted Thomson’s thoughts. 

“Husband, come with me quickly.”

His wife, Alice, rushed to his side and pulled his arm, guiding him out of the house.

This scene left Thomson dumbfounded. What was wrong with his wife today?

She was so excited that she even called him husband.

A happy smile appeared on his face. It was very unusual for his wife to call him husband, but it made him very happy.
