Surviving In This Filthy World As A Novel Villain

"Move faster!" Edwin barked at the workers. "Do exactly as Alex says! No hesitation!" The final touches took another half an hour, but once the last modification was complete…

The Effects was immediate.

A soft breeze drifted through the estate. It was subtle at first, but those who had lived there long enough knew—this was new.

It had never felt like this before.

"This wind… it’s so refreshing. I’ve lived here for decades and never felt a breeze like this inside the estate."

"Look up! The clouds above the house—those dark patches that were always there… they’re clearing!"

"Look at the lotus flowers in the pond! They were wilting just this morning, and now they’re blooming again!"

"My dog! He was sick for days, barely moving… but look at him now! He’s full of energy!"

Everywhere, people were witnessing changes with their own eyes. What was once an oppressive, stagnant atmosphere had turned vibrant.

But before anyone could fully process the miracle happening before them… 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A voice called out from the estate’s main building. It was old, yet steady. And as heads turned in disbelief, the sight that met them left them speechless.

An elderly man, frail yet composed, stepped out of the house, walking slowly toward them.

The father of Edwin Wells.

The man who had been bedridden, weak, and unable to even sit up without assistance…

Had just walked out on his own.

"Grandfather?!"

"Sir! What are you doing out of bed?!"

The crowd gasped.

Even Edwin was stunned. He rushed forward, ready to support the old man. "Father, you shouldn’t be out here! You need to rest!"

But the old man simply waved a hand, stopping him. "I don’t know why… but today, I feel stronger. My energy is flowing again, and I wanted to come outside for a bit."

Then, his sharp eyes landed on Alex. There was a moment of silence.

"Who is this young man?" he asked, looking back at Edwin.

….

As soon as the old man spoke, every pair of eyes in the room turned to Alex.

Sensing the attention shifting, Edwin quickly stepped forward to introduce him.

"Father, this is Alex Reid, CEO of the Reid Industries in the City…" His voice carried a deep respect. "And more importantly—he is a great benefactor to our Wells family!"

Without wasting a second, Edwin began recounting everything Alex had done—how he had identified the flaws in the estate’s fortune layout, how he had issued precise instructions for adjustments, and how the results were already visible for all to see.

The more he spoke, the more the old man expression shifted from curiosity to astonishment.

"No wonder…" The old man let out a deep breath. "From the moment I woke up today, I felt different. My energy was flowing, my body felt lighter… and by the time I stood up, I couldn’t even believe it myself!"

His eyes locked onto Alex, filled with gratitude. "So all of this is thanks to you?"

Alex smiled humbly. "I merely pointed out what needed to be fixed. The results speak for themselves."

The patriarch’s hands trembled slightly—not from weakness, but from emotion.

As the man who had built the Wells family with his own two hands, no one cared more about its future than he did.

For years, he had watched helplessly as his peers—many still in their prime—fell ill or passed away.

And the younger members? They were talented but lacked the foundation of their predecessors.

If this continued… how long would the Wells family truly last?

But today, for the first time in years, he felt hope.

"Ypung boy, do you realize what you’ve done?" The old man’s voice was firm, his words carrying the weight of his old like authority. "You didn’t just improve our estate’s fortune flow—you saved our family!"

He turned sharply, facing the gathered Wells family members.

"Listen well, all of you!" His voice rang out. "From this moment forward, this young boy is a friend of the Wells family—no, more than that. He is our benefactor!"

"Should he ever need our help, you will do everything in your power to assist him. No excuses!" The declaration was absolute.

A moment later, every member of the Wells family nodded in unison.

"Understood, Grandfather!" The atmosphere was heavy with sincerity. Even Alex, who rarely let things get to his head, felt slightly overwhelmed.

He cleared his throat. "Sir, you’re giving me too much credit. This was just a simple matter."

The old man chuckled. "Simple for you, perhaps. But for us? A miracle."

Then, he turned to Edwin.

"Tell the kitchen—we are hosting a grand feast tonight! This is a celebration for our benefactor!"

Laughter filled the hall.

Alex, seeing no reason to refuse, grinned. "Well, if you insist… I won’t say no to a good meal."

With that, the group, still buzzing with excitement, made their way to the main hall.

….

The banquet was lavish, as expected from a family of the Wells’ stature.

The long dining table was filled with exquisite dishes, the finest wines brought out in honor of the occasion.

But what truly shocked the guests wasn’t just the food—it was the seating arrangement.

Alex was given the seat of honor. Not beside Edwin. Not near the senior members. He was seated right next to the old man himself.

Gasps and murmurs spread through the crowd.

"What’s going on? Grandfather is attending the banquet? But his health—?"

"Forget that for a second! Who’s that man sitting beside him?"

"Look closely… even Edwin is sitting below him! What kind of status does this guy have?!"

The younger members and those who had missed the earlier events were dumbfounded.

But at the main table, none of the senior members paid any attention to the gossip.

The old man himself raised his glass, looking at Alex.

"This toast is for you," he said solemnly. "For giving the my family a future."

Alex lifted his own glass and clinked it against the old man’s. "To a long and prosperous future for your family."

One by one, the other senior members followed.

Edwin. The other family heads. Every powerful figure in the Wells family stepped forward, raising their glasses in Alex’s honor.

A young man in his twenties, receiving the highest level of respect from their family. The sight left the rest of the family speechless. No one could understand.
