05. Bastard Man

The business world was thrown into an uproar when the highest shareholder in Gabriella Enterprise suddenly announced that he was transferring all his shares to someone else. He wasn't the only one, several others participated in the free transfer of shares.

Please note that Gabriella Enterprise is the largest company in the entire world. If someone owned 1% of Gabriella Enterprise's shares, that person would undoubtedly become the wealthiest person in the entire city, or even the entire country.

The value of Gabriella Enterprise shares itself always soars every year. The latest innovations from both technological and non-technological fields are always pioneered by Gabriella Enterprise.

"Latest news! The Managing Director of Gabriella Enterprise announced to the world that the owner of Gabriella Enterprise has changed. Because of the press conference meeting held by the President Director of the company, the entire business circle is in an uproar and they want to know who the new owner of Gabriella Enterprise, the largest company in the entire world, really is..."

Austin: "..."

He had just gotten to his house, and he was even about to help his mother prepare the merchandise. But out of sudden curiosity, he paused in front of the outdated television in his living room, much to his surprise when he found out that Gabriella Enterprise was the largest company in the entire world.

A few hours earlier...

"The price is only 2.5 million Exchange Points, it's actually very expensive for me who just earned 5 million Exchange Points. But I know that buying stocks is the same as saving for the future, if I use half of the Exchange Points I have, doesn't that mean I'm investing some of my wealth for my children and grandchildren later?" muttered Austin while playing with his pen, it seemed that he was thinking hard.

After a while.

"It's only 2.5 million Exchange Points after all? I can get them back easily, right? I just need to read more books here."

Without further thought, Austin immediately clicked the [Exchange] icon under Gabriella Enterprise's column.

[Host has redeemed 2.5 million Exchange Points -> 65% shares of Gabriella Enterprise]

[Congratulations! The host is now the rightful owner of Gabriella Enterprise]

Back to the present, given all that, Austin initially felt that there was nothing special about Gabriella Enterprise, especially since he wasn't really into the business world, and even if he was, his access was limited as a student.

Who knew that Gabriella Enterprise turned out to be the largest company in the world?

Still couldn't believe what he was hearing and seeing on the old television in front of him. Austin pinched his own thigh, maybe this was all just a dream. One shouldn't dwell on their dreams, right? But when he felt the pain, he knew that he wasn't dreaming at all.

"Now I'm the owner of Gabriella Enterprise? The largest company in the world, Gabriella Enterprise? Doesn't that mean I'm the richest person..." he stopped mumbling, his eyes sparkling with happiness.

'Now I'm filthy rich! Hahaha!' he thought with a cheerful face.

Suddenly, his new smartphone rang. The smartphone screen displayed an unfamiliar number, Austin himself didn't know who was calling him but he picked up politely.

"Hello..." Austin said, greeting the person who called him.

"Ah, good afternoon, Mr. Austin. I'm Christina Hadley, general manager of Gabriella Enterprise. I apologize for interrupting your time, but there are a few things that need to be taken care of after Gabriella Enterprise changed owners. If you don't mind, could you send me your home address, I'll come to you and take care of some related matters regarding the transfer of most of the company's shares to you," a mature woman's smooth voice sounded from her smartphone.

Austin frowned, the general manager of Gabriella Enterprise? After understanding Christina's words, Austin felt nervous. It was true, after he exchanged his 2.5 million Exchange Points for 65% of Gabriella Enterprise's shares, Gabriella Enterprise had truly become his property.

But Austin tried to mask his nervousness and answered calmly. "Let's meet at the Gardenia hotel. I'll send you the address."

However, his image as the new owner of Gabriella Enterprise must not be tainted. What happens if Christina sees that the main shareholder of Gabriella Enterprise turns out to be a hick teenager?

"Uhh... No, no. Hotel Gardenia is one of the most luxurious hotels in Winston. It should be enough to make the general manager of Gabriella Enterprise feel comfortable, right?"

Austin had never met such an important person before. He didn't know how to handle Christina's arrival, but he tried to make the general manager of Gabriella Enterprise feel a little satisfied.

In fact, Austin didn't need to do any of that. As the general manager of Gabriella Enterprise, Christina should treat the main shareholder of Gabriella Enterprise well. Even if she was the general manager of the company, as the main shareholder, Austin could fire her at any time.

Unfortunately, Austin didn't know that. Considering he was still a teenager and lived in an environment that always insulted him, it seemed too strange that he could suddenly understand everything that happened to him in such a short time.

The sound of Selina screaming from behind made Austin realize that he had a more important agenda than just preparing for his meeting with Christina later. Helping ease his mother's burden was more important than anything in the world, but maybe he could only do it periodically.

Being honest with Selina wasn't as easy as one might think. If Austin suddenly told Selina that he was the owner of the largest company in the world, one hundred percent Selina would take it as a joke.

Well, in any case, it sounded impossible. If Austin were in his mother's shoes, he would probably find it harder to believe that his son suddenly became filthy rich overnight.

Meanwhile, a large man with tattoos that almost covered his entire body kicked the door of Selina's house violently.

"Selina?! Where are you?! How dare you ignore my request?!"

The man who looked like a street thug was none other than Selina's older brother and Austin's uncle. His addiction to gambling and liquor had left him in a lot of debt, but as if all that debt wasn't enough to make him miserable, he borrowed a large sum of money from an illegal loan shark which led to him being hunted down by several evil loan sharks.

Given his parents' helpless state, Jhon always forced Selina to give him large sums of money. Not to repay debts of course, but to satisfy his gambling desires.

Selina, who was making snack dough, got up from her seat and went to the living room. The door, which had already looked damaged, was now in even worse condition. Selina looked at Jhon with annoyance, "Jhon, what are you doing? Are you going to force me to give you my money again this time? Don't expect that to happen!"

Jhon's jaw hardened at Selina's words. He stepped forward and slapped Selina hard, as if her sister was just a toy that Jhon could smash at will. Selina, whose body was already vulnerable, fell to the ground as soon as Jhon slapped her.

"How dare you?! Quick, hand over your money or I'll burn down this ugly house!" Forced by Jhon, he would never stop torturing his own biological sister to satisfy his gambling desires.

Selina's eyes were already red with rage. Her right cheek which was dark purple from Jhon's punch just now made her look terrible. The woman said, "I work hard for my son and myself. I will never let someone like you eat all the fruits of my labor!"

Jhon chuckled, "Your son? You mean that coward? Even if you feed him three times a day, your son will never achieve anything in his lifetime. Don't you know everything in this world is controlled by money? Then what if Austin is smart, will he make you a big mistress? Instead of you wasting all your money on a useless kid like him, wouldn't it be better to give it to your brother?"

Selina was further angered by Jhon's words, "You despicable human! Don't you ever call my son that you bastard!"

'Plak!'

Another slap landed on her face for the second time. This time Jhon used his strength as a man, which made Selina faint instantly.

"Huh... Should I torture you first to get you to give me your money? Hey, wake up you slut! Wake up you-"

'Bugh!'

Suddenly, Jhon felt his whole body being thrown to the other side of the room by the shocking blow. The severe pain on the left side of his abdomen made him unable to move, he glanced at Austin who was now staring at him coldly.

"Bastard... How could you do that to me?!" shouted Jhon to Austin, on the other hand he couldn't believe Austin could throw him away with just his punch.

How could that small-looking body have so much power?

Austin himself just stared at Jhon with an angry gaze. "How dare you hurt my mom! I'll make you regret that you hurt her like that!"
