Chapter 21: Seventh Journey

Max sighs and says while waiting for Uber in front of the mall: "My uncle wants me to study law and be a good lawyer."

"Good, are you going to follow your uncle's profession?" Isa asked.

"No, he wants me to get him out of jail." Max laughed.

"Clown! I took it seriously." Isabella puffed out her cheeks.

"Okay, I don't do it anymore." Max stopped laughing and wrapped his arms around her waist, letting her lay her head on his shoulder.

"So tell me smart." Isabella looks at him: "What is the height of loneliness?"

Max thought and replied: "To live alone and run away from home?"

"Tsk, idiot." Isabella hit his chest.

"Did I get it right?" Max asked with a smug smile.

"Yes, idiot, don't talk to me, humph!" Isabella turned her face away.

"If I can't talk to you, can I kiss you?" Max said with a cheeky smile.

"..."

'My God, this man is going to kill me!' She blushed and pretended not to hear, but when her face was held and pulled towards him, she pretended some resistance, but in the end, they kissed.

"Beep! Beep!"

"The Uber..." Isa said in the middle of the kiss and pushed him away: "Let's go."

"Yea." Max smiled and walked towards the gray Hyundai.

"Max, Isabela, deliveries have arrived for you." The doorman Luiz said.

They have been living in this building for 10 months, which made it a little intimate with the doormen, and Luiz has been here since they came to live here.

"Oh, alright, can you help us load?" Isabella asked gently.

Luiz was the doorman on the night shift, he was almost 40 years old with dark skin and a strong body.

"Yes, of course, I can." Luiz smiled.

There were plenty of bags, Max took many of them, while Isabella took four and Luiz took the rest, which was almost the same amount as Max.

They stayed on the third floor and took the elevator.

Arriving in front of the door, Isabella left the bags on the floor and opened the door. She picked up the bags again and went inside.

"You may come in," Max tells Luiz to come in with the bags.

After leaving the bags in the living room, Luiz says: "I'm going now."

Isabella: "Thank you, Luiz."

"Wait a moment." Max said: "Do you have QR?"

Luiz nodded, some people tipped him for QR.

"Okay, show me yours, I'll give you a tip for the help," Max said.

"Okay." Luiz thought he would receive about 5 to 10 dollars, which was already a good size.

[You received: 1,000 Dollars.]

When Luiz saw this amount, he almost dropped his smartphone on the floor: "Max, this is a lot!"

"Haha, you deserve it, go have a good day with your family," Max said with a smile.

"Thanks." Luiz smiled sincerely as he left.

'So the tip I gave didn't count.' If he did, he would transfer 10 million to Isabella, it looks like that was predicted.

'But why did the tip I gave at the store work?' This he found strange.

Not thinking it was worth thinking about for too long, Max went to help Isabella unpack the things that had been purchased.

"Will it fit all this in my closet?" It was final, a lot.

She was starting to wonder how Max managed to carry so many bags at once.

But remembering that Max had defeated Tarcisio so easily, she thought Max was stronger than the eyes could see.

"If you don't have space, just buy a bigger wardrobe," Max said.

"Seriously, you're spending a lot of money on me, if you keep this up, you're going to end up spoiling me," Isabella said.

"So what if you get spoiled? I do not mind." Max smiled.

"But I care!" Isabella refused.

"Okay, let's put these things away first." Max smiled helplessly.

Looking at his wardrobe, Max nodded with satisfaction.

He even grabbed a new cotton T-shirt and sweatpants and boxers and went to take a shower... Forgetting the towel, he comes back and takes that too.

After getting out of the shower, he feels refreshed. Wearing these clothes, he feels embraced by an angel he was so comfortable with. Unlike the rough clothes, he wore before.

'Very good.' He laughed to himself.

'I forgot to buy books... It doesn't matter I still have some I haven't read, tomorrow I'll buy more.' Max thought.

The books he's already read didn't work, it wasn't valid for the system, that's why he had so many books, he even got many of them as a donation on the internet.

Now that he had money, he could donate all these books and buy lots of new books. Even the bible he read in its entirety. He didn't even notice the smell, it was 'only 773,746 words, the bible he read.

Putting those thoughts aside, Max picked up a book and began to read at his desk, which was lit by the lamplight.

Isabella must have already fallen asleep, after a long day, she was tired.

When it was nearly 2 in the morning, Max closed and stopped reading.

'I read a total of 4 hours... It gave 480 thousand words read and it gave 9 thousand 600 dollars.' After that, he went to sleep.

Waking up at 6:30 am, Max opened his eyes a little and saw the message on his retina.

Stretching, he was smarter today and knocked on the bathroom door: "Isabella?"

"I'm in the kitchen." He hears her scream.

Entering the bathroom, he brushes his teeth and does his daily necessities.
