2025-01-14 16:05:34"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 stopped and Aiden had his mouth open. Even an egg could fit in at this moment. "Sir, what's wrong?" Dominic's concerned voice came, pulling Aiden out of his thoughts. "Nothing.." Aiden shook his head, a smile playing out on his lips. At the moment, he could be said to be the best food expert in the world. What the system had given him was the process and formula for different kinds of food and snacks. Some of them even had healing properties. Some could cure certain levels of diseases and many others. The formula was so much that if he was to sit and begin to write It down, he was not going to finish writing all of the formula even if he was to spend the entire day on it. There were even some that he was sure wouldn't be able to find the ingredients easily. It would most likely cost a fortune. Well, this was good, there was no need to panic. With the ten million the System had given him and the remaining money from the last mission, he was sure that he would be able to do something reasonable. "I don't think this place is the right place to talk; let's head in," Dominic suggested, and Aiden agreed. He couldn't wait to try out the formulas and see what was going to happen. "Sir, who's that?" A feminine voice sounded just as they stepped into the company. "You can address him as Mr. Aiden, he's the new owner of the company." Dominic smiled, introducing Aiden to the lady who was sitting at the desk. "New owner?" The lady looked at Dominic and then at Aiden. The disbelief in her eyes was well written and she looked like she was about to tell Dominic that he was lying. "Anyways, you'll get to know him better later, there's a lot we need to do." Dominic chuckled, seeing that the lady was unable to snap out of her shock. "That's the receptionist of the company," Dominic stated as he walked into his office. "But I thought you said that you laid off all the workers?" Aiden was stunned and looked at Dominic. He had thought that maybe she was someone related to him or so. But hearing that she was the company's receptionist, he couldn't hide his amazement. "Well, when I was laying off the others and compensating them after the incident. She was the only one that refused to leave, saying it was until I sold it off before she would quit completely." Dominic chuckled, sounding rather helpless. "If that's the case, are you paying her?" Aiden narrowed his brows. "Nope, I've not been paying her and she never for once asked me to pay." Dominic shook his head, gratitude all over his voice. "Tell her I would like her to be my assistant." Aiden thought for a while and then said before collapsing on the sofa. "Huh?" Dominic was stunned as he couldn't believe his ears. "But..." "You don't have to worry. I can see the reason why she chose to stay," Aiden waved his hands, interrupting Dominic. "If it was not for her, then this place wouldn't be as clean as this. Or would I say, she's now a cleaner and is working for free." Dominic nodded hearing what Aiden said. Though the lady was not able to keep all of the company clean, she was able to make the first floor, which he had turned into his office, clean. He had in mind to look for a way to repay her, but he wasn't expecting Aiden to say she should be his assistant. Though he wasn't sure if Aiden was a second rich generation or not, from the way the latter was, he was not like the others he had met. But he was sure of one thing. Her life was about to become better and that was a good thing "Old man, you're zoning out, that's not what we need to discuss." Aiden's chuckle sounded as he snapped his fingers, bringing back Dominic to his senses. "Sorry about that." Dominic forced a smile and looked at Aiden wondering what he wanted to say. He still wasn't sure how the latter wanted to do it. He knew the ones who were responsible for the downfall of his company, but he was too powerless to do anything to them. Also, he had deliberately kept it from Aiden and yet he didn't ask about it. Even if he had asked, there was no way he was going to tell him. If he was going to tell Aiden, then at least, he wanted to see a chance of success in fighting back should they be attacked again. But that was going too far; how were they going to be able to get court approval to reopen the company? "What are the things we need if we want to bring the company back into business?" Aiden's voice tore through the thick silence, pulling out Dominic of his thoughts.

"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

"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

"Honey, what's wrong?" Amelia, who was about to attack Aiden once again, noticed Noah's expression."You don't need to ask, I'll tell you what's wrong with him." Aiden chuckled, knowing well what had happened."Shut up!" Amelia sneered and quickly turned to Noah."Honey, what's wrong?" She inquired, staring at Noah."Take a look at this." Noah finally responded and showed her his phone instead."Huh?" Amelia stepped back, her eyes were as though they were going to pop out of their sockets as she stared at the screen."Sir, ma'am, here's the papers, you'll sign here." The sales girl soon ran back with some papers and a big smile on her face."How much did you say the car was?" Noah finally came back to his senses and asked."It's twenty million dollars, sir." The girl replied, still nonchalant about what was happening."Are you sure about that?" Noah looked at the girl and then at the car."Yes, I am." The girl nodded."That one right there." Noah pointed at the car, his eyes like they
Empire Building System Decision
"Mr. Dominic, there are quite a few things I would like to inquire about." Aiden looked at Dominic who was still standing in front of the company."Sure, you can ask." Dominic nodded.However, he was a bit shocked to see Aiden as he wasn't expecting the latter to come back.He had just finished contacting those who would come to clean and repaint the building and was preparing to look for his old friend to replace the machine.The ones at the company would be sold out, and the money would be used by the company."Can you write down the formula of the snack that made the company go bankrupt, and also the process of how it's being produced, right from the start to the finish?" Aiden requested."Yes, sure, Mr. Aiden, but that'll take some; I'm not sure if you'll be able to wait to take it." Dominic agreed almost Immediately.As the head of the company and also a food expert, he was actively involved in the process of the snack and knew it like the back of his hand."Let's go in then, I'l
Empire Building System Let's Squander A Few Million
"I'll call to inform you of the progress, sir," Dominic said, looking at Aiden, who got into the car alongside Elsa.It had taken him over twenty minutes to write down what Aiden had requested.The process was pretty long, and it had been years, so he found it pretty hard to remember. As a result, he was quite slow.Otherwise, he was supposed to be able to write it in ten minutes or so."Alright then, see you later." Aiden nodded getting into the car."Where are we heading to?" Elsa asked, looking over to Aiden.She felt a little bit cheated in her heart. She was the one who was supposed to relax while Aiden did the driving, yet it was the other way around."Take me to Farm City restaurant," Aiden instructed.Elsa nodded and started the car feeling a bit excited. She had always heard of the restaurant and had always looked forward to visiting it.But she didn't have enough money to do that. Even when the company was in good shape, she still wasn't able to afford a meal at the place.B

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
