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."

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

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
