Chapter 5
How much time had passed?
“Ughhh...”
With a groan, my eyes shot open.
What the... What? What the hell?
I jolted upright. My whole body felt light—way lighter than usual.
What is this?
As I tried to gather my senses, a thought struck me with urgency.
There’s only one thing that can bring about this kind of sudden physical recovery—and that’s money. Just what is this radiant aura of wealth coursing through my veins right now?
Sure enough. There was an IV needle stuck in my left arm. Drip. Drip. Drip. That sound wasn’t just fluid—it was money hitting the bloodstream.
I looked around.
This is... the Imperial Palace infirmary. And this is a private suite—reserved for VIPs!
The math was instant. Kiaros had arranged this for me—an outrageous level of treatment.
