"Welcome, Young Master."
"Welcome, Young Master."...Many warm words of welcome were expressed towards Torin.At this point, Torin finally worked up the courage to reply with a warm smile, "Thank you, Everyone."Considering that he is currently the owner of the Sallim Group, it is an obligation to show a humble and dignified attitude. His shy and timid personality, he must throw away as far as possible!After everything, Jacob said, "Let me take you to your room, Young Master. I'll explain some important things to you as we go.""Okay," replied Torin, nodding in agreement and following Jacob's back towards the elevator."You need to know that TxS Company is a subsidiary of the Sallim Group. Currently, TxS Company holds control over 80% of Corholt City's economy. Also, have you heard about Angel Company holding control over 18% of Corholt City's economy, Young Master?""Ah, of course. Who doesn't know them? I've heard rumors circulating that they want to seize the remaining 2% in order to make TxS Company their only rival. Are they a threat to TxS Company?" Torin asked with a curious expression.Hearing that, Jacob smiled with satisfaction before finally replying, "You should know that Angel Company is also a subsidiary of the Sallim Group, Young Master. We deliberately created this fake competition to attract more fans. You know, competition is two opposing camps, and that will naturally create fanaticism from enthusiasts and fans. Of course, they will do free promotions without being asked, and that will give us more profits!"Torin couldn't hide his amazed expression when he heard Jacob's explanation. They deliberately created two companies that compete with each other in order to gain more profits? That's clearly a brilliant business strategy!This fact made Torin understand a little how his father got all this wealth! Despite his bad character because he left his son and wife behind, he is actually an excellent businessman!"We have arrived, Young Master."At this point, they finally arrived at a room on the 12th floor. This room looks like a normal work room. Simple, comfortable, and only slightly better than Torin's at the company he works for.However, something in the room managed to surprise Torin. He fell silent while showing a complicated expression.Right behind the chair, Torin could see a family photo. In fact, it was just an ordinary family photo, consisting of a husband and wife holding their baby boy while laughing happily. However, what surprised Torin, was that it was a photo of his family; Sallim's Family.Why is this photo here? Didn't his father just abandon them, as if they weren't important in his life? What reason made him place this photo here?Seeing Torin's shocked expression, Jacob felt sad. He thought again of the moment when Master Sallim breathed his last breath. At that moment, the last words he spoke were his great desire to meet his son!At this point, Jacob clenched his fists tightly. He vowed to fulfill Master Sallim's last will, namely to treat Torin the same as how he treated Master Sallim. He will fight for this man! He was ready to die for this man!After a short silence, Jacob said, "Master Sallim in fact loves his family very much, Young Master." He knew exactly what Torin was thinkingHearing that, Torin showed an expression of disbelief, then replied, "But... Why did he leave me and my mother? He wasn't even at my mother's funeral!"“A lot of things happened to Master Sallim, Young Master. I am ready to answer any questions you have on this matter.""Okay, then tell me the reason why he wasn't present at my mother's funeral?! Didn't you mention that he loves his family very much? How could a man who was said to love his family so much, not be present at this important event?! I doubt he even knows about the news!"At this point, Jacob sighed helplessly, before finally replying, “You should know that on the exact day your mother died, Master Sallim had an accident. He was in a coma for nine days, and when he finally woke up, the first thing he asked was what time it was. He wanted to know if he still had time to attend his wife's funeral. And, when he found out that it was too late, he was devastated, Young Master." There was an expression of deep sadness when Jacob told the incident.Hearing that, Torin was shocked. Is that what actually happened?To be honest, he doubted Jacob's statement. The coincidence that happened to his father sounded very suspicious.However, of course, Torin didn't want to upset Jacob by doubting his statement.Moreover, when his big boss was insulted, Jacob could lose control and throw him out of this place.Hence, to avoid any untoward incidents, Torin could only reply, "Alright, forget about that for now. The most important thing right now is what kind of work should I do? Since you've given me this room, of course I have a task, right?"At this point, Jacob was silent for a while, before finally replying, “Actually, there is nothing you need to do, Young Master. All work regarding company affairs has been assigned to the employees. All you need to do now is enjoy the results. Of course, if you make a decision about something that we and the company should do, that is absolutely something! We don't have the ability to resist it!"Hearing that, Torin couldn't help but be stunned. Does this mean he can retire early?"Does this mean I can do whatever I want, including spending a lot of money, without having to make any achievements at the Sallim Group?" Torin asked with a curious expression.Of course, everything would be easy if he didn't do any work. He could focus only on how he would take revenge!“If that's what you want, then that's what will happen, Young Master. You are free to do whatever you want."Getting confirmation from Jacob, Torin was very happy. This is truly good news!At this point, Torin immediately said to Jacob in an enthusiastic tone, “Then, can you help me tonight, Jacob? I want to go somewhere with you and four bodyguards."Hearing that, Jacob immediately replied in a respectful tone, "I will prepare your order immediately, Young Master. But, sorry if I'm presumptuous. Where are we going, Young Master? If you give me the information, I may be able to determine the best bodyguards for the job."Torin smiled before finally replying, "Grand auction party.""A grand auction pa
Torin and the five of them had arrived at the Dominic Family Auction House.Seeing a group of super expensive sports cars entering the main gate, the guards immediately ran towards them with faces full of respect. It is the duty of the guards to welcome special guests.However, when they saw the TxS Company logo painted on both Jeep Rubicon cars, they panicked."TxS Company?! They are the company that holds control over 80% of Corholt City's economy! They were no longer special guests, but honored guests! Quickly call the big boss! Only the big boss can welcome them!" said the leader of the guards to the others.Of course, if their arrival was only greeted by ordinary guards, this would probably offend the feelings of the mysterious TxS Company leader!Hence, they had to immediately give this news to the big boss! Only he is capable of handling them!The order from the leader was immediately accepted by one of them. The guard immediately ran hastily towards the main door.“Big Boss, t
At this point, Torin chose to remain silent and observe. In accordance with his identity as the leader of the TxS Company which is known to be very mysterious and secretive, Torin will be that kind of figure! He had to be cold and arrogant, as Jacob had shown before.On the other hand, seeing that Torin was just silent and not giving a response to what he was doing, Jacob then said, "Okay, Mr Jason. Since this is the first time, you are forgiven. I hope nothing similar happens in the future."Jacob was honestly quite impressed with Torin. That was also the reason why he suddenly turned nice to Jason.Of course, Jacob could feel the surprise that Torin expressed earlier. However, at the same time, Torin was able to blend in well and understand the situation quickly.Initially Jacob wanted to make this a learning and experience for Torin. He planned to explain why he had to give such a response to Jason's actions.Remembering Torin's naive personality, Jacob plans to train him. As the n
It's currently 9:15 p.m. As Jason expected, the Gilbert Family finally arrived.They consist of five people; two women and three men. Please note that two of them are Miya and Nevil.Meanwhile for the other three people, the second woman is 26 years old with a beautiful face and wavy blonde hair. She has sharp eyes and seductive lips. Anyone who sees her will be stunned by her beauty.This woman's name is Shinta Gilbert, who is the younger sister of Nevil Gilbert.The second man is a handsome man with a firm face, 30 years old. His cold gaze would intimidate anyone who saw him.Meanwhile, the last man was a middle-aged man with some of his hair already white. Even though he looks old, that doesn't cover his handsome and strong face. He was sturdy and dashing, making him look very dignified and honorable.Seeing the arrival of the five, Jason immediately approached them with a warm smile. He felt very lucky because he managed to prepare special seats for them on time.Of course, it's s
On the other hand, receiving attention from everyone, Nevil felt very proud. This was the reason why he always arrived on time.Considering that these big families uphold etiquette, they will always arrive thirty minutes or an hour before the event starts.Of course, as part of the most prestigious and influential family in Corholt City, Nevil didn't care about that! When being the last to arrive, it would naturally attract a lot of attention.Moreover, look who he came with? He was with the most beautiful and famous actress in Corholt City; Miya Johnson. This would of course be a great way to show off!Noticing the envious expressions shown by men around his age, Nevil nodded in satisfaction. He loved seeing other people's envious expressions when they saw the items he had!However, his satisfied and proud face suddenly turned confused when he realized that Jason had taken him not where he was supposed to be. Hadn't he reserved the seats in the middle? Why does Jason take him to the
Of course, what Torin did surprised everyone.They originally thought that each of these young masters would show off their abilities and power. This is not just about fighting for seats, but rather proving status and influence in each major power!However, who would have expected that this mysterious young master would give in so easily?Honestly, what Torin did made them feel amazed. His humility put him in a different class to Nevil!“Where did the Young Master come from?Considering he managed to get Jason to give up the seats belonging to the Gilbert Family, that meant he came from a respected family. But, when the Gilbert Family tried to take back the seats, he relented. This shows great humility. He deserves to be a leader!" said one of the male guests in the crowd."You're right. Unlike Nevil who is so arrogant, he is actually very humble. This shows the difference in their levels!" replied the man next to him with a nod of agreement.On the other hand, seeing the leader of TxS
"Y-you're not kidding, are you, Jacob?!"Of course, 10 billion dollars is astronomical! It was simply unimaginable!Even when Torin worked his whole life. No! Even when Torin was born for the third time and lived only to work, he would never have that much money either!Then, Jacob easily said that he could spend 10 billion dollars every day?! Is he crazy?!On the other hand, seeing Torin's shocked expression, Jacob took a deep breath before finally replying, "I will explain to you a little about how rich the Sallim Group is, Young Master. Let's start from TxS Company which has total assets of 300 billion dollars. You need to know that Sallim Group owns 1004 companies like TxS Company spread all over the world! You also need to know that the Sallim Group owns 5021 small companies with total assets under 200 billion dollars, and 58 giant companies with total assets over 100 trillion dollars. With all that wealth, you earn about 12 million dollars every second, Young Master. Do you get
"100 million dollars?!""100 million dollars?!"“Damn it! Who is that guy?! How could he offer such a crazy price?!"The crowd went into a frenzy. What Torin said was completely unexpected, even in their wildest thoughts!Jason was even stunned with his jaw almost dropping to the floor. A painting that originally only cost 30 million dollars has become 100 million dollars?! How rich is the leader of TxS Company really?!It took a few moments before Jason finally recovered from his surprise. In a halting tone, he finally said, "100 million dollars has been offered by TxS Company. Is there an offer higher than 100 million dollars?"Hearing what Jason said, the other guests finally knew Torin's true identity. If he came from a company that controlled 80% of Corholt City's economy, it all made sense. It's natural that they have that much money!On the other hand, knowing Torin's true identity, they question Nevil's previous behavior. Where did his confidence come from that he dared to off
