R.F. is booming!

The Transcorp Hilton stay also marked a subtle shift in Daniel's perspective.

Experiencing that level of overt luxury, even for a few days, highlighted the sheer scale of wealth required to maintain such a lifestyle effortlessly, pushing his ambitions even higher.

The MH bank flag incident also served as a crucial reminder of the need for operational security and the potential risks lurking beneath the surface of his seemingly smooth ascent.

He returned to his routine with even more focus than before. The primary engine for accelerating his wealth accumulation, beyond his direct MH trades, was Rocket Funds. The implementation of the tiered invite system (RF 2.0) had poured gasoline on the fire. The Telegram channel was perpetually active. Users proudly announced reaching the second or third tier, shared screenshots of their referral bonuses, and posted near-daily updates of their (simulated) balance increases. The platform felt vibrant, successful, and entirely legitimate to its rapidly growing user base.

New members joined at an accelerating rate, often in clusters as existing users tapped into their social networks. Daniel had to upgrade the offshore server hosting the RF backend twice to handle the increased traffic and data load. Managing the influx of DMs for payment verification and sending out Telegram invites became a significant daily task, consuming several hours. He briefly considered hiring a virtual assistant but decided against it – keeping the operation entirely under his control felt paramount for security.

He watched the internal MH metrics tracking RF's contribution. The total profit skimmed from the network since its inception had blown past the N10 million mark, rapidly climbing towards N15 million within a matter of weeks after RF 2.0 launched. The user count had crossed 800 and approached the one thousand mark. Each of those users represented a small, consistent stream of profit flowing directly into Daniel's MH administrator account, a testament to the power of leveraged networks.

His own MH balance, fueled by both his direct trades and the massive RF skim, reflected this boom. He executed several multi-million Naira trades, growing more confident with the app's accuracy and his ability to manage the risk (and the fund movement).

The balance pushed past N25 million, then crossed the N30 million threshold. Combining this with the N15 million+ already generated via RF brought his total accumulated funds generated by or held within MH platforms to above N100 million($82,000) in just under three months since discovering the app. It was a staggering amount for a 16-year-old by any measure.

Curiosity piqued again by the sheer volume of money flowing, Daniel explored the MH 'Settings' and 'Analytics' section more deeply than before. He revisited the feature he'd discovered earlier – the estimated 'Total Net Worth' dashboard. It factored in his current MH balance (N30M+), the funds he had withdrawn and presumably tracked via linked accounts (~N15M used for house deposit, phones, car deposit, personal spending), the estimated current market value of assets purchased (like the Wuse II house, valued at N60M), and the calculated 'Network Value' of Rocket Funds itself (which seemed to have increased significantly given its growth).

The dashboard displayed an almost unbelievable figure:

Estimated Net Worth: NGN 142,800,000.

Over one hundred and forty million Naira.

Daniel stared at the number, a bit disbelieving at what he had achieved in this short period.

He quickly did the math: N30M (MH Balance) + N60M (House) + N15M (Tracked Withdrawals/Spending) = N105M. The remaining ~N38M must be the app's revised projected value of the Rocket Funds network itself, plus perhaps the value of the car he bought.

It was just an estimate generated by the app's algorithm, likely based on projected future earnings from the RF user base, but seeing it quantified, comfortably in nine figures, felt monumental.

He wasn't just making money anymore; he was building value, building an asset in Rocket Funds, even if its foundation was entirely secret and dependent on MH. The thought was intoxicating.

It gave him more motivation, and contributed to the shift his perspective from just building a system, an empire.

The vague ideas about PeDan Investments, angel investing, and building legitimate businesses suddenly felt less like a distant dream and more like the necessary next step to manage and legitimize the immense value MH was generating and calculating. He screenshotted the dashboard again, saving the image as a memento to remember this milestone.
