The surrounding was as quiet as a graveyard. No one dared to bring out their phone to record, nor did they dare to shake even a muscle.

This was supposed to be fun, but at the moment, they all felt pity for Jake. But at the same time, he went too far.

"Unfilial Grandson..."

"Enough!" Aiden's cold voice interrupted Jake who was about to continue shouting.

"I don't have a grandson like you," He scoffed.

"Out of my face," He added.

Without thinking, Jake stood up hurriedly, covering his broken forehead with his clothes as he rushed out of the place. But before he could leave, he heard Aiden's arrogant voice again,

"Don't forget about the second part of the bet and also the second bet you made,"

Hearing this, Jake's body trembled and anger cruised through his veins. For a moment he lost his senses and wanted to turn around and attack Aiden.

But he was able to control himself and ran out of the place. He still needed to treat his broken forehead.

He would deal with him later and would make

    Seeing the figure, Aiden's expression changed. What the heck was happening?How in the heavens did she know Scarlett? This was not a good thing at all."Yes aunt, someone was indeed able to cure my legs," Scarlett nodded, staring at the lady right in front of her."Please, introduce him or her to me. At least maybe he'll be able to treat my daughter," The lady sighed, the desperation in her voice could be felt."It's been five years now," She added, shaking her head; the little hope in her eyes seemed to have almost vanished completely."Aunt, it's fine, I'll introduce you to him," Scarlett agreed without thinking.She knew about her aunt's situation. Five years ago, her daughter with a rare genetic condition ate a snack that contained an Ingredient she was not supposed to, then her condition worsened; since then, she has not been able to find a cure."Really?" Abigail's eyes lit up after hearing this.Right after Aiden left her house, she had been thinking about what Aiden said and t

    "Dr. Aiden," Scott rushed towards Aiden, who staggered backward just as the last needles fell onto the floor with a loud clang."I'm fine," Aiden managed to say, stabilizing himself as Scott held him.It was just as he had expected. Though it was not like the day before, he still felt tired.Staring at the figure lying on the bed, Aiden couldn't help but shake his head. Her condition was not as he had thought.Though even with his skills, there was nothing he would be able to do with her genetic condition, at least he was able to treat the immediate problem."How's she?" Abigail walked over at this moment, staring at her daughter, who was still lying on the bed motionlessly, then at Aiden, who seemed tired."She's fine now; she should be awake in about an hour or two," Aiden answered, turning around and preparing to leave.Abigail nodded and hurriedly went to her daughter's bedside. Even if Aiden had told her it was going to take a day before she would take up, she would still be will

  • Empire Building System   A Problem OverLooked

    (The Next Day)"Sir, here you are," Dominic smiled, approaching Aiden immediately he got out of the car alongside Elsa."How's the progress?" Aiden nodded slightly, then stared at the building which had long been repainted.Everything seemed to be back to its normal condition. However, some people were walking in and out, which Aiden guessed were the people who were working."Everything has been completed sir," Dominic answered, breathing in a sigh of relief and seeing the smile on Alex's face."The machines are on their way and should arrive any moment from now," Dominic continued."The only thing we lack now is the court order, and staff. Then what kind of snacks are we going to produce," Dominic added, listing out the things that remained."You don't have to worry about stuff like that. Let's talk about the staffing and then the snack," Aiden thought for a while then answered.He had been thinking about it all night. If he wanted to create a snack, it had to be the one with healing

  • Empire Building System   Let's Proceed Slowly

    Aiden, who was about to step into the elevator, stopped in his tracks, and turned around."Sir, there's a little problem," Dominic panted heavily trying to catch his breath."What's it?" Aiden narrowed his brows, staring at the old man, wondering why he was sweating and panting heavily. The distance between the office and where he was was not far.Seemed like the stamina of the old man was a little bit bad. He would take his time to check the old man's condition later."Sir, remember what happened to the last snack we produced?" Dominic started after having managed to catch his breath."Yes?" Aiden's expression became dark."Before we mass produced it, we sent it to the National Consumer Safety Commission for check and also approval and they approved it,""So?" Aiden's expression became increasingly dark hearing this and he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart."Since the problem was in Kyrium Oil, and we happened to overlook the problem, there's a team of experts in

  • Empire Building System   Take Or Leave It

    "Well..." Elsa froze, not expecting Aiden's question."Don't you know any?" Aiden narrowed his brows seeing Elsa silent."No, that's not the case, I know one. It's just that the factory is not doing well and is about to close down, so I'm not sure if...." Elsa stopped amidst her words, staring at Aiden through the glass."You don't have to worry; it would be better if we could buy the company; that way, the flour production would solely belong to us, and we can control it however we want," Aiden answered, nodding slightly."Alright then," Elsa nodded, trying to suppress the shock in her heart.Buy the factory? What the heck was Aiden thinking? Did he think money was easy to come by?But she didn't say anything. He was a rich second generation after all. Also, she wanted his success and not his downfall; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to all of this."I'll take you to the company. As for whether you'll be able to buy it, that'll depend on your ability," Elsa stated, this time, she

  • Empire Building System   Let's Make A Bet

    The man's eyes brightened upon hearing this. Wasn't this a god sent opportunity? He didn't expect the other party would be willing to offer five million to the factory.He knew clearly in his heart how much the factory was worth. As for the ten million he mentioned earlier, he was just bluffing."Are you in or should I just leave?" Aiden's cold voice came pulling the man out of his fantasies."No, it's not that way, I'll sell it," The man hurriedly shook his head and replied."Then get the papers ready; I don't have much time to waste," Aiden sat back in his seat while the man nodded and then rushed out of the office."Don't you think it's an overkill, buying here for five million?" Elsa couldn't resist the impulse to ask after the man left."I know it's overkill, but I still need to make use of the man, so I gave him so much; that way, he would be willing to work for me," Aiden smiled lightly.He already had a series of plans in his heart. There was a lot to do and he was going to ma

  • Empire Building System   Making The Bet

    "The host has bought a factory!""Host has received five hundred Million dollars."The mechanical voice rang in Aiden's head making him nod satisfactorily. This was a good thing.Though he had yet to use up all of the money he received from the System, he had still used up quite a number of it and was thinking about how he would get it back.Now, he had gotten five hundred Million dollars from the System. This meant the System wanted him to develop this place.Well, he also had the intention of doing that, so there was no need to be scared or to rush anything at the moment."Sir!" The fat man's voice came, pulling Aiden out of his thoughts."Sorry about that, I was lost in my thoughts just now," Aiden forced a smile, apologizing lightly."So what do you need me to do sir?" The man asked again, his voice filled with respect."The land at the back of your factory. Who owns it?" Aiden asked directly. He was not the type to beat around this bush and thus told him what he wanted directly.

  • Empire Building System   Aiden's Decision

    Elsa collapsed back onto the chair watching Aiden leave. She didn't know what to do with him. He was just too stubborn for his own good.Well, it was a good thing she had made this deal with him; else, there was no way she would be able to do what he wanted well."Ding!"Elsa's phone beeped and sure enough, it was the notification of the money sent by Aiden.Seemed like he was really serious about this. She had no other choice, she could only hope in her heart that the snack would not fail.With so much invested, it wouldn't be a nice thing to see the snack fail. It would be bad."James," Elsa raised her head, calling the man who was yet to leave.Though Aiden had left, the man didn't dare relax, he was still in the office."Yes, ma'am," James answered instantly, his heart pounding.Though Aiden didn't directly say it, he knew now he would be working under them. The extra five Million was not for free.Besides, he felt he wouldn't lose out too much if he was to work for them. They wer

  • Exhausted Aiden

    Hours later, Aiden staggered out of the room, held by Elsa as she helped him back to the living room."Benjamin, remember, it's just the same way as you did to your grandfather, no difference," Aiden muttered weakly, his voice barely audible."Don't worry, he already knows that," Elsa shook her head as she helped Aiden out of the house.Though she didn't know why he had exerted himself to this point, she also couldn't blame him at all. It was his choice after all.Also, he had gotten guards for himself which was also an amazing thing. Though she wasn't exactly sure as to why he would want to recruit all the twelve men, she couldn't help but nod satisfactorily."You need to rest first, I'll take you home," Elsa sighed as he sweated against Aiden's heavy frame while leading him to the car.If it was not for the food he ate constantly after treating each person, she was afraid he would have long passed out.Getting into the car, she helped him into the back seat, then quickly got into th

  • Determination

    "I want you all to work for me," Aiden revealed, and instantly, the atmosphere dropped. The expression of the men changed and they flared at Aiden."Old Man Ethan has told me all that happened to you and I'll say I'm really sorry about that. But I would need your skills, which is why I want you to work for me.""As for the benefits, if anything were to happen to you during the course of working for me, then I'll take care of your family forever.""You can sign a contract about that later if you don't trust me," Aiden shrugged seeing their expressions."Now, moving on. I'll be paying you all a salary of five hundred thousand every month. And once you accept my offer now, I'll give you two million each to take care of your family problems, give you a week to prepare and come back to me,""I'm not forcing you all to accept or decline. But even if you decline, I'll still treat your injuries, so you won't lose out on your coming," Aiden concluded; his last words, though low, sounded like a

  • Talking To The Old Men

    "They should be here any moment," Ethan soon walked back to the dining after excusing himself to call his comrades over."Thank you, old man," Aiden nodded slightly, then continued to eat.Ethan smiled and didn't say anything. Though he was not sure about what Aiden had to offer, he knew he was not treating them for free.His skills were something they couldn't buy with money even if they had it. So whatever he was offering, it had to be Worth it.Benjamin, on the other hand, had long lost his appetite and was just sitting like a dummy, not saying Anything.Elsa, on the other hand, wanted to see what Aiden wanted to do. Aiden was still wondering what the potion inside his pocket was meant for.Everyone at the table had sudden thoughts going on in their heads, but they were all secretly staring at Aiden."Ring!"After what felt like an eternity, the doorbell suddenly rang, pulling the four out of their thoughts."I'll go get the door," Benjamin stood up instantly and headed towards the

  • The Old Man's Past

    "Develop the land into a farm. And then raise the Worth of the farm to a hundred million," The System's mechanical voice sounded at this moment and Aiden couldn't help but nod slightly."Host has been given Three Hundred million." The mechanical voice rang out again, and the next moment, his phone beeped, but he didn't bother checking it.Aiden frowned slightly. He had been trying to figure out how the System worked, but he was still confused. This was the second time it was actively issuing a mission to him. Well, he was not going to refuse.Could he even refuse even if he wanted to?No way was going to happen. The System was not going to let him."Young friend," Ethan's voice came at the moment, pulling Aiden back to his senses."Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts," Aiden shook his head while smiling slightly."Don't worry it's fine," Ethan shook his head, signifying it was all cool."You did ask me how I got injured right?" Ethan stared at Aiden, bringing back an old topic.Hearing

  • Side Mission

    (The Next Day)"Here we are again," Aiden sighed, staring at the Woods family Villa right before him.The day before, he had been so exhausted that it took Kayla a lot of effort to wake him up to eat.After returning him home, she thought he was drunk and thus went to prepare his favorite meal, after which she prepared some other stuff.After waking up this morning, he was met with Kayla's stern face warning him to drink again.Aiden tried to explain he was not drinking, but there was nothing he could say, she was not listening to him.Having no other choice, he had to agree not to drink again. Well, since the beginning, he was not drinking; it was just that he was tired from treatment.He wondered why that was happening and tried to check his knowledge, but he found out that there was nothing wrong with him."Didn't you want to come? Or haven't you rested enough?" Elsa broke the silence, rolling her eyes at Aiden who was complaining."That's not the case?" Aiden hurriedly shook his h

  • Completing The Treatment

    Hours later, Aiden sighed, wiping away his sweat while removing the last needle.The next moment, he staggered backward, almost falling, but was caught by Benjamin, who had walked in with the paste and the hot water alongside the dregs of the herbs."Are you fine?" Benjamin inquired, his voice soft while holding Aiden who seemed rather weak."I'm fine," Aiden nodded weakly and after a while, managed to balance back on his feet.He knew this was going to happen and was already prepared for it. He felt so exhausted that he wanted nothing but to sleep at the moment.But he couldn't, there were still some other things he needed to do."What's next?" Benjamin inquired, staring at Aiden who stepped back slowly "Plaster the paste on your grandfather's body, let his skin absorb the medicinal properties of the herbs," Aiden instructed, wiping away the sweat on his face."Remember, do not leave out any place. I repeat, not even a single spot," Aiden warned."Even his face?" Benjamin stared at

  • Treating Ethan

    "Sir, here's what you asked for," The sales girl soon approached the three bringing over a bag filled with the herbs Aiden had asked her to fetch.She had also witnessed what happened. Thus, she trembled slightly as she gave him the bag containing the herbs."Thanks," Aiden nodded slightly and took the bag away from the girl then gave her his card.After a while, the payment was complete and the three proceeded to leave the store.The crowd made sure to make way for them, afraid they were going to offend a tyrant like Aiden, so they were able to leave pretty quickly.Getting back to the car, Benjamin took the wheels once more without any complaints this time.His respect for Aiden seemed to have risen to another level. With what the latter had done to Lucas, he was sure he wouldn't suffer under his leadership.Though Aiden was the type who would protect his people. At the same time, he would be the most ruthless person on earth if he was betrayed and he could tell this."I agree with

  • Unlucky Lucas

    "And who the heck are you?" Lucas growled, glaring at Aiden who had stepped forward at this moment."None of your business," Aiden snapped, then turned to Benjamin and asked with a smirk."Haven't you always wanted to teach him a lesson?" "Yes," Benjamin nodded, clenching his fist, his eyes red and he couldn't help but remember all the humiliation Lucas had put him through.Elsa, on the other hand, shook her head in pity. With Aiden's sly nature, she was sure it was not going to end well for Lucas."Who do you want to teach a lesson?" Lucas flared up hearing what Aiden said."Don't you know who I am?" He scoffed, glaring at Aiden and Benjamin."I'm the Young master of the Ross family. I don't know who you are, but since you are helping the Woods family, you've directly become an enemy of our family,""And that's exactly why I want to teach you a lesson," Aiden chuckled and stepped forward."So do you want to become an enemy of our family?" Lucas glared at Aiden."Of course." Aiden no

  • Lucas Ross

    "Huh?"Else froze not understanding what Aiden meant by that. But before she could say anything, he had already walked into the store and was annoyed. But at the same time, she wondered what he meant by that.Having no other choice, she followed the two into the store."So what are we getting?" Elsa stood, her hands on her waist, her hands darting around the large store.The thick scent of the herbs made her feel comfortable and she couldn't help but nod.The place was bigger than she thought it was going to be. After all, this was the first time she was here.Aiden, on the other hand, couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Though the scent of the herb was helpful, it would become a toxic substance to the body if one was there for too long."Let's get what we need quickly," Aiden spoke, snapping both Benjamin and Elsa out of their thoughts while walking toward one of the sales attendants.He was too lazy to start picking up the herbs himself. The shop was large, and he would start
