Chapter 4: Gifts

Enzo wondered what kind of gift Miya had been talking about.

He turned on his television and switched to a channel playing music.

With a single thought, the screen appeared before his eyes again.

It could disappear on its own whenever he stopped paying attention to it.

The explanation for obtaining rewards from the System was still displayed on the screen.

It was all about giving something to his wife in order to receive a reward.

But it wasn’t as simple as merely giving her something.

His wife had to be happy with it or gain some kind of benefit from whatever he gave her.

’What could I possibly give Miya Stanley, who practically has everything a mortal could ever want?’

’At the very least, she’d be happy if I gave her a ring on our wedding day, right?’

A ring.

Thinking about it, Enzo lifted his mattress.

A small ring box was hidden underneath it. Inside was a gleaming gold ring with a bright red gemstone set on top.

The Muller Family’s wedding ring.

It was an old heirloom passed down through his family.

It was the ring his father had given to his mother, and his mother had later passed it down to Enzo when he turned seventeen, telling him to give it to his future wife.

To his father, this was an item that could never be sold, no matter how difficult the family’s financial situation became.

Enzo took it out and grabbed a cloth to clean it, only to realize that it was already spotless.

The gold had been processed so finely that even dust couldn’t stick to its surface.

There was no way he could afford a ring like this with his savings and credit card limit.

’If she really wants to marry me, there’s no way she wouldn’t be happy to receive a ring from her husband, right?’

Even though the ring was impressive, in Miya Stanley’s eyes, it was probably nothing more than an ordinary object.

All Enzo could do was hope she would appreciate the meaning behind it.

He lay down on his bed, sighing repeatedly.

Although he was excited about this opportunity that could completely change his life, he was still filled with nervousness.

Inside his room, he idly passed the time.

Sometimes he read online novels, and other times he played simple games on websites.

He simply wanted to be alone and mentally prepare himself for Sunday.

Vroom!

Suddenly, the roar of a truck engine reached his ears, causing Enzo to furrow his brows.

Hearing a truck in this neighborhood was rarely a good sign.

He quickly peeked through the window and was surprised to see that the truck was following a luxurious black sedan.

The truck was carrying a white MPV, apparently one of the most luxurious models available.

What surprised Enzo even more was that the black sedan stopped directly in front of his house.

A young woman in her mid-twenties stepped out of the sedan’s rear door. She was wearing a skirt and a professional-looking suit.

"Hello, is this the Muller residence?" she asked Evan, who had returned to the porch.

"Yes..."

Evan nodded unconsciously.

He was confused about why the woman was asking.

"Good. We’re from Prestige Horizon Company. We’ve come to deliver the vehicle ordered for the Muller Family. In addition to the car, there’s also a villa in the Horizon Complex. Could I meet your parents to complete the delivery paperwork?"

The woman politely explained the reason for her visit.

From upstairs, Enzo could still hear her words faintly.

His physical body had already reached the absolute limit of what a mortal human could achieve, after all.

"What is this?"

Paul stepped out of the house, looking shocked.

"You must be Paul Muller, the head of the Muller Family. Let me explain..."

The woman repeated the details of the delivery.

Paul froze.

His shock seemed to exceed all limits.

His eyes practically lit up the moment he saw the luxurious vehicle.

"Quickly, call Enzo..."

After standing there speechless for a moment, he ordered Evan.

"Yes..."

Evan entered the house.

It only took a moment before he opened Enzo’s bedroom door.

"Bro..."

"I know, I know..."

Enzo raised his hand, stopping him from saying anything more.

"Let Dad handle this. I’m busy."

He pushed the door shut with his foot, leaving Evan outside.

With this added to everything else, Enzo’s head was spinning once again from the shock, making it difficult for him to calm down.

A villa.

A family car.

Back when he was still filled with hope, Enzo had imagined that once he became a Spiritual Warrior and went on adventures, he would use the money he earned to buy his family a car and a proper house.

That dream had been buried long ago when he realized that he had failed.

Yet now, it had suddenly become reality.

After thinking for a while, he finally sent a message to Miya Stanley.

(Thank you!)

His heart was filled with joy.

It was difficult not to develop feelings when a woman as extraordinary as her treated him this well.

(Has it arrived? It’s only a small matter, so there’s no need to thank me... You should move your family as soon as possible. According to our investigation, a company is targeting that neighborhood, and they’ve already grown impatient. Although they would stop if I asked them to, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to interfere...)

The woman’s reply arrived only a few moments later.

Enzo became even happier after reading it.

It genuinely felt as though they were already dating.

(I’ll move!)

He replied.

Although the woman seemed friendly, he didn’t dare speak carelessly around her.

She couldn’t be treated like an ordinary young woman his age.

A moment later, he received a reply containing a thumbs-up emoji.

It was truly a sign of friendliness.

Enzo looked at the clothes scattered across his floor before beginning to move them into his bags.

Despite being poor, almost all of his clothes were from good brands.

He had received most of them from various women during his prime.

Back then, he had been approached by many women, not just Eva Solace.

Although he always said that he wanted to focus on training, they often forced him to accept their gifts, sometimes even threatening him if he refused to wear them.

Eva, ironically, was the only one who had never given him a gift despite being the most obvious about her interest in him.

She was notoriously stingy.

Enzo stuffed all his clothes into his bags, making them impossible to close properly.

He was worried about security.

Information could leak.

Some people might not be happy about what was happening.

At worst, he could be eliminated before the wedding day.

Because of that, it was necessary for his family to move somewhere safer.

Although Miya Stanley was said to be extremely powerful, she couldn’t keep an eye on everyone.

To certain powerful individuals, eliminating the entire Muller Family would be as easy as lifting a finger.

Even if Miya secretly sent someone to protect him, other people could still use more ruthless methods.

The Horizon Complex had extremely high security, with strict surveillance throughout the area.

The owner of the company was also a major figure who would do anything to protect the company’s reputation.

Even if someone dared to cause trouble there, Enzo believed it would be much safer to live there.

He didn’t hurry downstairs.

Instead, he waited for the company’s employees to leave first.

The family car was unloaded and placed in the yard.

Paul looked so happy while signing the documents that his hands were trembling.

His wife, Lisa, helped him read through the paperwork.

The documents clearly stated that the property had been purchased under their names, with the full price and all applicable taxes already paid.
