Chapter 136 - A Surprise Deposit

With beads of water still dripping from his shower, Leon stepped out of the bathroom, wearing shorts and a white t-shirt. His blonde hair stuck up in different directions, giving him a messy look that contrasted with his fresh, clean state.

As he shuffled listlessly towards the sofa in the living room, something caught his eye—the bright light emitting from his cell phone perched on the glass table in the middle of the room. The notification on the screen screamed for his attention: 'You have received a transfer of 250,000 USD. Please confirm the receipt.'

"What is that?" his tired eyes widened in disbelief. Could this be some kind of prank? Or perhaps an elaborate scam? He squinted at the screen, trying to understand the unexpected message.

Leon opened his bank account. His eyes grew even wider in shock. Instead of the usual balance, an additional 250,000 USD had indeed been credited to his account.
