2025-01-06 22:03:24Instantly, Aiden felt his world come crashing to the floor. Everything was over in just how many minutes.
It was not even up to an hour, yet he was doomed. First, he was fired for no reason and was also accused of stealing money he didn't know about. Then his girlfriend also broke up with him. Now his sister's health was declining rapidly. What was he going to do? How was he going to be able to pay for her treatment? No one would be willing to borrow a penniless man like him money. How was he going to do it? "Alright sir, I'll be there soon," Aiden responded and then ended the call. At the moment, he was at a dead end and didn't know what else he was going to do. The world was already against him and he had nothing else again. How was he going to survive this? [ Ding! Conditions for Activating System met "Activating System" ] A voice rang in Aiden's head before he could do anything. "Huh? What's that?" Aiden muttered and looked around, not knowing what else to do. "Activation complete, launching System." The voice rang once again. "Aren't I going to be a little bit crazy?" Aiden muttered, his gaze darting around for the source of the voice, but he couldn't find anything. There was no one around, so it meant that no one was playing a trick on him. Before Aiden could think too much, the voice sounded again. "Launching System." "Welcome to the Empire Building System. Dedicated to creating the largest Empire ever seen." [ Numbers of Empire owned: 0 Number of companies Owned: 0 Rank in the World riches: 12233....... A series of numbers appeared and Aiden didn't even dare to read it. Rank in Alvoria Riches: 1,234,447,363,636,363th Rank in Oakridge: No Rank, definitely a pauper. ] Aiden froze, not Knowing what to do. What the heck was this? He had to be dreaming, there was no way this was real. Raising his hand, Aiden hit himself, he believed he was in a bad dream and thus wanted to wake up. "Ouch!" He yelped as he realized that it was real. He was not dreaming. Looking back at the transparent screen in front of him, Aiden didn't know what to do and just stared blankly. His heart pumped against its chest as if it were trying to find a way out of his chest at all costs. "Ding! New mission alert" The mechanical voice rang in Aiden's head, and the next moment, a screen appeared. "Be a company owner in the next twenty-four hours. Penalty: Death. The screen read and Aiden's eyes almost popped due to shock as he couldn't believe his eyes. How the heck was he supposed to buy a company when he didn't have any funds? And the penalty was even death? Though he didn't want to believe in this mysterious thing, he knew that there was nothing he could do about it; he didn't want to die yet. Many thoughts rang in Aiden's head and soon, he heard the mechanical voice again. "Ding! The host has received a hundred Million." Aiden's eyes widened in shock as he couldn't believe his ears. Hundred Million? Who the heck was this mysterious thing kidding? He was going to eat shit If that was the case. "Beep!" A loud sound suddenly jolted Aiden out of his thoughts and he looked at his phone with a frown. "Dear customer, you've received the sum of one hundred Million dollars, from account 24343xxxxx. Your account balance is now 100,000,000." The message read, and Aiden's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets due to shock as he couldn't believe his eyes. What the heck was happening? This was too good to be true. There was no way he was going to believe this. Thinking about this, Aiden looked around and saw an ATM in the distance. Without thinking, he ran forward, and with shaking hands, he inserted his card into the machine. Nervously, he pressed five thousand and the next moment, the money came out of the machine. Aiden froze looking at the money hung on the machine. His heart beating rapidly. He could feel his breath suffocating and he didn't know what to do. What the heck was happening? This was too good to be true. He had to wake up from this nightmare. There was no way he would have such an amount of money in his account. After all, he was penniless and the only money in his account was just about five hundred dollars. What the heck was happening? What was that strange thing? It called itself a system. What kind of technology was that? What should he do? Aiden wondered. All he could think of was just how he had gotten this strange stuff. Walking away from the ATM to avoid suspicion, Aiden kept the money in his pocket with trembling hands. The strange thing called itself Empire Building System. Also, it tasked him with purchasing a company. What company was he going to purchase? Who was going to sell a company to him in Oakridge City? The system had said that he was going to die if he didn't purchase a company in twenty-four hours. He was not ready to lose his life, at least not yet. This was a dangerous situation, how was he going to scale it? Aiden sighed and pushed all thoughts to the back of his mind. First, he was going to have to save his sister. Since he had the money, he would be a fool if he didn't pay for his sister's operation. Then he was going to use the rest to purchase a company. He didn't care what kind of Company it was going to be. Thinking about this, Aiden flagged down a taxi and got in heading to the hospital.

"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.

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.

"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
Empire Building System Come With Me
"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

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Aiden." The lady sneered, stopping a few meters away from Aiden, staring at him, disgust written all over her face.Aiden's expression changed, turning around and seeing who it was. He wasn't expecting to meet Amelia here, but that's none of his business. She had already told him that they were not of the same world, so there was no need to bother about her."Here's my card, hurry up and swipe it." Aiden pretended as though he couldn't hear Amelia and turned to the sales girl, giving her his card."Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Amelia flew into a rage seeing that Aiden was ignoring her."Hurry up, please; I can't have some rabid dog barking into my ears." Aiden knitted his brows, turning to the girl, uttering with a serious expression.The sales girl gulped upon hearing this and quickly nodded. She could tell that Amelia and Aiden had some hostility, but it was none of her business. All she needed to do was just pretend as though she couldn't s

After a while, Astrid came back to her senses and hurried into the banquet hall.Stepping into the hall, she saw Aiden sitting in a corner with plates of food before him."Really?" She muttered under her breath, wondering how long she had been in a daze that Aiden had gotten into the hall and piled up food.Shaking her head, she rushed over to his side. As for what he said earlier, she didn't put much thought into it as she felt he just said it to cheer her up."I thought you wouldn't come in," Aiden glanced at Astrid with a mouthful, nodding slightly before turning around to continue eating."But...""Shhh! Have some table manners, no talking while eating." Aiden whispered, placing a finger on his lips."You should have some," He continued,"I wonder why they would even prepare food in the first place when all you do is just take the drinks and ignore the food," Aiden continued to grumble as he wolfed down the food before him.Astrid covered her mouth, chuckling lightly at Aiden's re
The Banquet
In no time, Astrid and Abigail walked out of the room again. This time, Abigail's face looked rather smooth, the wrinkles on her face had all disappeared.She was already in her late forties and with the level of work she was doing, it had caused wrinkles all over her face.Now, with Aiden's help, she was able to get rid of the wrinkles, which made her happy. At the same time, she felt rather guilty looking down on him the first time they met."Thank you, Dr. Aiden," Astrid broke the silence,, bowing to Aide,n, who was sitting on the sofa."It's nothing." Aiden shrugged,"Besides, I did it 'cause I wanted you to work for me,"."I understand, but I still wish to thank you," Astrid smiled lightly, bowing again.She didn't mind Aiden's words. After all with his skills, there was no need for him to treat her at all. With a wave of his hands, many others would come looking for him, yet he treated her."We've not talked about the medical fee for my daughter whom you treated," Abigail said,
The Truth
"It's just that I only told a part of the Truth," Astrid sighed, continuing after a while."Then tell me the whole truth," Aiden frowned slightly, demanding in a rather commanding tone."Actually, I was abducted, and then while struggling, the acid splashed and poured on my face, and then it poured on my body.""But the person behind my abdication and the acid was still my best friend," Astrid explained slowly.Aiden arched his brows slightly staring at Astrid. He didn't completely believe her words though they sounded like it was the truth."I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's the truth," Astrid smiled bitterly, shaking her head seeing Aiden's expression."Fine," Aiden shook his head walking back to the sofa.Even if he wanted to say something, he was speechless at the moment and even found it hard to say the fine he had just said."Here's the herbs you asked for," Abigail's voice came at the moment, breaking the silence.Looking at Astrid, whose upper body was exposed, she gaspe
Aiden's Shock
"Huh?" Astrid froze hearing Aiden's words, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets as she couldn't believe her ears.Was he just trying to comfort her? Then after he tried for a while, he would say he's sorry that he's unable to treat her."But that shouldn't be the case. He didn't look like he was joking with her. He sounded confident.But remembering this was how the other doctors also sounded confident the last time she went to meet them, the hope which she was beginning to grow got extinguished again."Did you hear what I just said?" Aiden snapped his finger, pulling Astrid back to her senses."Well, even if I regain my looks, I don't think I'll be able to do anything to them. It's been over three years since this incident," Astrid sighed sadly, shaking her head."Since that's the case, would you be willing to work for me?" Aiden offered a smile slowly creeping onto his face.With someone like Astrid, there was a lot he could do. Forget about marketing. Some people would buy
I'll Treat Your Face
In no time, the taxi Aiden boarded pulled up before a Villa. Staring at the house, Aiden nodded slightly, then walked towards the door.Pressing on the doorbell, the door shot open almost instantly."Come in please, Dr. Aiden," Abigail forced a smile inviting Aiden into the house.Walking inside, Aiden nodded slightly. The quality of this house, though, was a bit lower than that of Scott's; it was almost the same. He'd presume it was Scott who had given it to his aunt.Well, Abigail was also not poor. Buying the house would be no problem for her."Thanks for treating my daughter," Abigail thanked Aiden while placing a glass of water before him."Also, I've resolved the court case." She continued, still staring at Aiden who didn't look like he was listening."The court should have sent the letter to your company. I'm so sorry for putting your company into such a deep mess," Abigail apologized again, this time, there were streaks of tears on her face."It's no problem, even if you haven
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
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.
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
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
