Rewind to Riches: The Day I Wished for Billions

When I was eighteen, my father Johnathan Collins adopted my younger brother Edison.

From then on, he earned money easily, reaching the peak of his life and accumulating assets worth tens of billions of dollars.

He said that Edison was sent to the world to bring him good luck.

So when the kidnappers asked Johnathan to choose between me and Edison, he chose Edison without hesitation.

Then I was killed.

But Johnathan didn't know that his tens of billions of dollars of assets were obtained only after I made a wish for him.

If I was reborn, I would keep this wish to myself.

When I woke up again, I was sitting at my desk.

I was holding a lighter in my hand, it was dark around me and there was only a cluster of warm flames in front of me.

I also felt a dull pain in my temple.

I rubbed my head and realized that I might be reborn.

I returned to my sixteenth birthday.

The fire in front of me was about to go out.

I quickly said, "I wish to have tens of billions of dollars."

As I finished speaking, the flame went out.

My palms were sweating from nervousness as I waited.

A voice sounded, "Congratulations, your wish came true."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the voice stammered again, "But I am still in the internship period and do not have enough authority. Your wish can only be realized when you are 18 years old."

As if afraid that I would not believe it, it continued, "But don't worry, we value honesty the most and we will never break our promise."

Then I breathed a sigh of relief again.

I felt relieved.

Because in the previous life, it said the same thing.

Having just experienced death, I could now sleep peacefully.

The next day was a weekend, but Johnathan went out early and brought back a child.

"From now on, this is your home."

He flushed with joy and patted the boy on the shoulder.

I heard him tell my stepmother Elena that he had stopped his operation in the mine.

Everything gradually became clear in my mind.

Johnathan was reborn just like me.

I knew this slightly embarrassed boy in front of me.

He was Edison, who Johnathan said would bring him good luck in his previous life.

In my previous life, after I was bound to the system by chance, I made the same wish.

But I made that wish for Johnathan in my previous life.

After the system made the promise, it disappeared.

Nothing had changed.

Johnathan's business was getting worse and worse. He became moody and looked at me with more and more disgust.

One day, an accident happened in his mine, resulting in many casualties.

He couldn't afford the compensation even if he sold everything he had.

During those days, our family didn't even dare to go out.

To quell some of the resentment, Johnathan adopted the child of one of the victims.

That was my younger brother, Edison.

Since he was adopted, everything started to get better.

Johnathan who was scolded could now go out with his back held high.

His bankrupt company also survived.

Moreover, whenever Johnathan changed his career and made investments, he always happened to catch the right time.

It was like the God of Wealth was giving him endless money.

In this way, Johnathan reached the pinnacle of his life, becoming a successful man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.

Johnathan thought that all this was brought to him by Edison.

He thought Edison was a lucky star's reincarnation, bringing him good luck.

But in fact, the year when Edison came, I was eighteen years old.
