He lost both of his parents due to a bank heist at the age of 14. Due to his young age, he joined an orphanage, but it turned out to be secretly owned by a group of gangsters.
He was exploited together with the other children in the orphanage, before finally, at the age of 16, he joined the gang, being valued for his intelligence.
Working for the gang as an accountant in charge of the income of the gang, he used all the money that he earned to purchase books on accounting. He wanted to study, gain real skills, and see if he could join a legitimate company as an accountant.

Who would have expected that due to his effort, one night, just as he was done reading, a holographic screen popped up in front of his eyes.
[System binding... Binding completed.]
[System activating... Activation completed.]
[Welcome to the Information to Mastery: Points Store System, Michael Santos.]
[Experience full. You have acquired beginner level accounting skills. +1 SP.]

[Experience full. Level up. Accounting skills upgraded to intermediate level. +10 SP.]

But that was not the craziest point. Using the store points that he received by acquiring skills, he could purchase anything from the store.

Are you sure that this is all that there is to this story?" Henry asked skeptically.


With furrowed brows, Newton looked at his son as he asked, "Kid, what do you take your father for? Do you think that I can sacrifice my own family for no reason at all?


Let me tell you, from the start, Zachary had no intention of getting himself involved in the family business. As for me, even though I had the interest, it was not enough to be able to make me to kill my own brother.


Even if I was obsessed with the family business, Zachary had already left for several years. And, he was staying in a very small city, nobody knowing about where he was.


So, why would I want to kill him, when he obviously is not a threat at all to the position of the head of the family?
