2025-01-01 23:03:52"I don't understand how I was involved in this...." A young man stuttered, staring at the letter in his hands before raising his head to look at the figure in front of him.
"What the heck do you even think you're talking about." A feminine voice thundered glaring at the young man. "Get the heck out of my office right now, you miserable thief!" She continued, pointing at the door. "But...." "I said get out!" The voice bellowed, pointing at the door, a scowl appearing on her face. "I..." "If you don't want me to call the police right on you and get you arrested for your crimes, then you should get the heck out of here right now!" "I...." "Now..." The feminine voice interrupted standing and banging the table out of anger. Having no other choice, Aiden could only turn around and walk out of the office with a dejected look on his face. He just couldn't understand what was happening and why this was happening. A few weeks back, some of his colleagues had gotten into a fight. In the process, they had broken a few of the company's equipment. He had tried to stop them, but his efforts were futile. In the end, when they finally stopped fighting because the manager came, he was blamed for not trying to stop the fight. He wanted to explain that he had tried to stop the fight, but he was shunned. He was then told by the manager that he was the one who was going to pay for the damages. And this was his punishment for not stopping the fight. As a result, his salary was slashed. But there was nothing he could do about it. Then, yesterday, he was accused of embezzling the company's funds. This morning, the manager called him to her office and gave him the dismissal letter. He tried to ask what he had done wrong, but was met with resistance and was chased out of the office. He was even threatened that he was going to be arrested if he didn't leave. All for something he had no idea about. It was unfair, but could he fight it? He had no power and thus was only able to accept his fate the way they came. There was nothing he could do about it. Now, how was he going to survive? He had no job and didn't even know where to start from.. This was the job he had been doing for the past five years and to be suddenly dismissed was something he couldn't understand. He didn't know what he did for the manager to hate him so much. He had been careful right from the start, he just couldn't understand how he managed to offend her. Ring! Ring! Just when Aiden was lost in his thoughts, his phone rang, pulling him out of his thoughts. Seeing the Caller's ID a smile appeared on Aiden's face and he picked up the call Aiden!" A feminine voice came from the other end of the phone just as he answered the call. "I..." "No, let me talk first." The voice cut him off sharply. "Aiden, I'm breaking up with you, I can't stand our relationship again, so let's break up." The feminine voice said without a hint of remorse. Huh! Aiden froze, hearing his shock and confusion flash through his eyes as he couldn't believe his ears. "Amelia I..." Aiden shuttered. "You can't even afford to give me a good meal, not talk more or less, buy me good clothes, shoes, bags, and many others. Why do you think you deserve to have me?" The rude voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm telling you now Aiden, you and I don't have anything to do with each other again. You're nothing but a useless loser who can't afford a good life, so we should go our separate ways. We're not in the same world." Amelia added Sharply and immediately ended the call. Huh! Aiden froze as he looked at his phone rather blankly, not believing his ears. First, he had lost his job, then his girlfriend had broken up with him. Looking at his phone, Aiden decided to dial Amelia's number. "Dear customer, the number you are calling is busy." The mechanical voice rang out just as he dialed the number before the call was disconnected. Dialing the number once again, he was told the same thing. At that moment, Aiden realized he had been blacklisted. He didn't know what to do at the moment and could only lament at his I'll luck. Why the heck was this happening? Why was the world against him all of a sudden? He didn't know what to do next and could only step out of the company like a Zombie. He had no destination in mind and could only wander around aimlessly. His head was filled with numerous thoughts and he didn't know how to sort it out Ring!" "Ring!" Just then Aiden's phone rang again, pulling him out of his thoughts. "Who could be calling me?" Aiden muttered, not knowing what to do. He was already hit with two bad news in a row and wasn't sure if he would be taking another bad news. He was not too sure about it. And so he was lost in his thoughts till the call ended "Ring! Ring!" The phone began to ring again before he could breathe a sigh of relief. This time, he didn't hesitate and just brought out the phone from his pocket. Bringing out the phone, he frowned as he seemed not to know who it was as it was just a number. "Mr. Aiden, this is Dr. Maximus from Central City Hospital talking." A voice came from the other end of the phone. "Yes, how may I help you?" Aiden asked slowly, his heartbeat increased. "Your sister's condition has worsened. It'll be advisable for you to pay for surgery right away, or else we won't be able to guarantee anything if it's delayed." The voice explained, dropping the bomb.

"Sir, sign here," The doctor pointed at a place on the paper asking Aiden to sign."Also here," He continued after Aiden signed the papers pointing at another spot."Thank you very much, we'll commence with the operation soon," The doctor smiled and then walked away quickly to arrange for the operation.Aiden sighed and walked to his sister's ward. Looking at the weak and skinny girl on the bed, he couldn't help but shake his head and his eyes became red."Brother." A weak voice called just as Aiden reached his sister's side."Kayla, " Aiden forced a smile holding his sister's bony hands while caressing them slowly.His sister had been sick since she was little and their parents were not rich enough to afford the operation.

Empire Building System Owning A Company
Aiden nodded and got onto the scooter and the man drove away. The man driving the scooter had a frown on his face.Though he couldn't believe that Aiden was going to have the money to buy the company, it was none of his business.He had already called the owner and told him that he had gotten a buyer.He had already been paid, so he couldn't care less if the other party was going to be able to buy the company.Soon, the two arrived at a rather magnificent building. The building looked huge and one of the most beautiful in the area.Aiden was shocked in his heart seeing this. All he thought was that the company he was about to buy was just a small company. He didn't expect the company to be this huge. What the heck was happening?He wasn't going to care anyway. All he wanted was to acquire a company.Stopping the scooter, the man alighted from it and so did Aiden. Just by the gate of the huge building was a medium-height figure in a Tang suit looking like he had been waiting for the tw

"Host now has a company." The mechanical voice came again and Aiden couldn't help but breathe in a sigh of relief.He didn't know he was going to be able to tell the System that the company was given to him.But it seemed like that was none of the System's problem, and it just counted it directly."Host has received ten million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice sounded again and the next moment, Aiden's phone beeped.Checking, he saw the alert of the ten million and couldn't help but smile."Skill would be uploaded into the host memory." The mechanical voice came again, and the next moment, a light screen appeared in front of Aiden reading."Skill uploading...."In front of it was a percentage bar which read 2% out of a hundred.Soon, the percentage bar got to a hundred and the mechanical voice sounded."Skill uploaded."Aiden felt a warm stream of energy flow into his head. Instantly, information poured in like a flowing stream.After a while, the stream of information stopp

"About that sir, we'll be needing quite several things." Dominic looked at Aiden, wondering how the latter would be able to revoke the court order."You should pen it down then," Aiden suggested."That'll be better." Dominic agreed, then turned to pick a pen and blank sheet."You should list everything that we need to make the company functional again," Aiden added."Alright." Dominic nodded and began to scribble on the paper.The sharp noise from the pen cut through the silence as Dominic wrote while Aiden watched."Here sir." Dominic soon finished and handed the paper to Aiden.Aiden stretched his hands and collected the paper from Dominic, his eyes scanning the entire content."I...""Ding!" The mechanical voice sounded, interrupting Aiden, who was about to say something."Complete all the necessary steps written in the paper in a month." The voice said."Host has received five hundred million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice continued.Just like the last time, a light sc

"After we get a lawyer, he would be the one to reopen the case and then take it to Court." Dominic continued."The hardest part is where we would have to look for evidence that the company was innocent." Dominic sighed as he concluded.Aiden nodded with a smile, it seemed like this was easier than he had thought.Get a lawyer to tender back the case to the court, then look for evidence. And that was all. As long as they could convince the court they were innocent, it was going to be done.Though this sounded easy, he knew how hard it was. If he failed to find solid evidence, then that was the end of it.There was no way the court would want to listen to him again, so he had to be careful.Aiden sighed and glanced at Dominic who was staring at him and couldn't help but frown, after a while, he asked,"What's wrong, why are you staring at me that way?""Mr. Aiden, I appreciate your efforts to bring back the company, but I don't think we will be able to succeed." Dominic sighed."And who
Empire Building System Elsa's Reluctance
"I thought you were not going to come." Aiden turned to the lady who had rushed out of the company to meet him.There was a faint blush in her eyes as she stood beside him, not saying a word."Well, Mr. Dominic asked me to come, and since I work for him and you've bought the company, that would mean that I would work for you." The lady smiled.Though she was smiling, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. After all, her thought was that Aiden was a rich second generation and even though he was dressed shabbily, she believed that it was just to trick young girls into falling into his traps.If it was not for Dominic, she wouldn't have agreed to be his assistant. However, at the moment, she didn't fully agree and just wanted to test out the latter.If he tried anything improper, she was going to have to tell Dominic and she was sure that he would know what to do, so she was not scared."What's your name?" Aiden broke the silence, turning to look at the lady."I'm Elsa." The la
Empire Building System Buying A Car
Alighting from the car, Elsa and Aiden walked into the store. Elsa's face was still squeezed, looking like she had just seen a pile of shit a few minutes ago.She was still doubting Aiden who didn't even notice the expression on her face and was lost in his thoughts on how to invite his lawyer friend to help him with this case.She had thought that he was still trying to pretend as though he didn't notice her. She already had a plan in mind."Welcome sir, Ma." A sales girl approached the two and greeted them, bowing slightly."What cars do you have?" Aiden snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the girl who seemed to be a complete newbie at the store, and asked directly."Well..." The girl was taken aback by Aiden's question and stuttered before finally replying."We have quite several brands; there's Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, and a lot more." She spoke, glancing at Aiden and then at Elsa who was by the side.Elsa rolled her eyes at the sales girl, seeing that she was staring at her, and

Jake's Righteousness
"How is this possible..." Jake stuttered, raising his head to stare at Elsa who had a mocking smile on her face at the moment."You don't have to ask me? How will I know when I'm not inside his pocket," Elsa rolled her eyes at Jake."How...how were you able to afford such a house?" Jake glared at Aiden who was staring at him with an unfriendly smile."And how's that your business?" Aiden scoffed, snatching back the document in Jake's hands."This must be a lie," Jake shook his head, not wanting to believe what he was seeing.There was no way Aiden would be able to afford that villa. He had been eyeing the Villa many times, but he didn't dare to buy it.It was not that he couldn't afford it, but the fact that it was going to have a heavy impact on him, so he didn't try it.Besides, it was just a House, there was no need to be so extravagant, so he didn't dare get it.But here he was seeing Aiden, who was dressed like someone who couldn't afford three square meals, holding the documents

Aiden's Dilemma
Jake's eyes trailed towards Aiden who had his back facing them and was about to slip away.Seeing him, a ruthless smile appeared on his face. Then he walked toward Aiden who had already given up on running away.Elsa had already used him as a shield, there was nothing else he could do about it."Good afternoon, Mr.?" Jake forced a smile, appearing rather Civil as he stretched his hands for a handshake."Aiden," Aiden nodded, taking the handshake, but soon his expression changed as he felt Jake squeezing his hands.He was not going to be outdone; quickly, he applied some strength, pressing back Jake's hand.""Ouch," Jake winced in pain and quickly withdrew his hands."So you are Elsa's boyfriend?" Jake narrowed his eyes, glaring at Aiden as if saying he would be dead if he were to agree."Well, I'm not...""Hubby, have you gotten the apartment?" At this moment, Elsa's voice sounded as she walked over, a charming smile on her face as she took Aiden's hands into hers."Fuck!" Aiden curse

I Have A Boyfriend
Minutes later, a car pulled up in front of a building. Alighting from the car were Aiden and Scott.Though Aiden had an unwilling expression, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't use force, so he could as well let Scott do what he wanted."Welcome, sir," The sales girls greeted as Aiden, Scott, and Elsa walked into the company."You come here," Scott beckoned to one of the sales girls."Sir," The girl answered rather respectfully, staring at Scott. She knew who Scott was and how ruthless he was.At the moment, all the sales girls in the place were sweating. They didn't know what Scott wanted, or if he had caught wind, one of them was cheating.The sales girl Scott called over was trembling all over making Aiden frown lightly, glanced at Scott, then at the girl.He couldn't help but wonder how ruthless he was for them all to be so scared of him. Well, there was no need to think too much about it.Who was not going to be scared of someone who could send you to jail at any time?Th
Meeting Scott Again
"Do you think she will come back?" Elsa glanced at Aiden, whose head was on the seat with his eyes closed."Yeah, definitely she'll come," Aiden chuckled, not opening his eyes."If she's not a fool," He added after a while."If she can't realize the truth from what I've told her, then she's a lost cause," He continued.Elsa nodded without saying anything. She understood what Aiden was trying to say. At that moment, she realized there were a lot of things that went wrong.There was no way she would have been able to win the court case easily if there had been no one secretly pulling the strings from behind. It was just as Aiden had said, she would really be gullible if she didn't come back to find them.Aiden, on the other hand, didn't believe Abigail was not going to come looking for them. From what he had read, she was the owner of one of the top companies in Oakridge.For a woman like her to be able to build and maintain such a company meant that she was capable, so there was no ne
Meeting Abigail Jackson
Staring at the Villa right in front, Aiden didn't know what to do for a moment. How was he supposed to go in and look for the person living here?"Let's go," He shook his head, pushing these thoughts out of his mind. There was no need to think this way.Though he had never done something like this, it was not as though he couldn't do it.Ringing the doorbell, Elsa and Aiden stood by the door waiting for someone to come open the door.Soon, the loud creaking of the door was heard, and a young girl around the age of ten poked her head out, staring at Aiden and Elsa."Young girl, do you mind if you get your mother for us?" Aiden smiled lightly, as he said."Alright," The girl nodded, closing the door and leaving Aiden and Elsa standing there.Soon enough, the door opened once again and a woman in her late thirties walked out of the door, sizing Aiden and Elsa."How may I help you please?" The woman frowned lightly, her gaze fixated on the two."If I may ask, are you Miss Abigail Jackson?
Cost Of A Little Mistake
"Good Morning sir," Dominic's old voice came from the other end of the phone."Morning, old man," Aiden chuckled, returning the greetings."Sorry for disturbing you. But I would like to know, do you know the person who sued the company?" Aiden inquired, going straight to the point."Well..." Dominic started but fell silent again."I'm not really sure about the person, all I know is that it was one of the customers whose child took the snack that sued the company." Dominic continued after a while."As for his information, I don't know about the person, so I'm a little bit helpless. Back then, I tried to look for the person so he or she would drop the charges since I was sure nothing was wrong with our snacks, but all my efforts were futile," Dominic added, the sadness in his voice could be felt."Though I don't know who exactly had plotted against the company, I can tell the person who sued the company was truly infuriated as no matter how much I pleaded, I was met with refusal.""Old
Elsa's Thoughts
Hearing this, Elsa frowned slightly but she didn't say anything. She had also read the documents, so he knew that was the resident of one of the victims used in conspiring against the company.But what was he going to do there? Treat the victim? Well, with Aiden's medical skills, he was going to be able to treat the other party.She was not expecting him to take his approach. She had thought he was going to just go directly to open the case and then go to the court. He already had enough evidence in hand, so why bother visiting the victims.Though she knew they were used, she had a feeling the victims also knew about it, else why would they be willing to agree.Well, this was Aiden's decision, she was not going to interfere. At the moment, she was more like his driver, so there was no way she would be able to advise him not to do what he wanted.Also, there was a bit of a problem, Maplewood Estate was one of the places where the rich families of the city resided.Taking a glance at th
