****************Hudson came back into the living room wearing a long, dark brown robe. It was one of Ajax’s robes."You look good in it; I never thought you would look good in one of my robes," Ajax said with a smirk."Yeah, thanks. Now, let’s head out," Hudson replied in an urgent tone. He knew that they had to get to the shop before the spell wore off, and he didn’t want to waste any time.Ajax stood up from the couch as they went out of the living room. Hudson and Ajax arrived in front of a tall building that had a large sign that read "Shop Keepers" on it. They both went into the entrance. As they got in, they saw a counter that was next to the entrance, and a middle-aged man was sitting behind it. They approached him."We would like to purchase a shop," Ajax said boldly."This must be a joke; purchase a shop? You know we don’t sell shops to magicians like you guys, right?" The man asked in a confused tone. He was genuinely confused that magicians would even approach him, as almo
shops to show him around, as Hudson was planning on buying a shop. After that, Kylan nodded his head as he told Hudson to follow him.I thought the boss was supposed to be the one to take me to see the shops, but now another person is going to do that, Hudson thought.They arrived at the entrance counter, Ajax was sitting on a bench that was close to the counter. As soon as he saw Hudson and Kylan come out, he stood up from the bench.He ambled over to where they were. Hudson and Kylan stopped. "Have you bought the shop?" Ajax asked calmly."No, Kylan here is going to show me the shops that are available for the amount I want to purchase. We should all go and check it out together," Hudson responded.Looking at Ajax Kylan could tell that Ajax was a magician. "Did you two come together?" Kylan asked curiously. He wanted to confirm that Hudson and Ajax were together, as he wanted to know if they were both magicians."Yes, Ajax here is my friend," Hudson answered."What? He is a magician
If he had known he wouldn’t have let Ajax enter the building with him.Hearing that Kylan suspicion subsided and also he realized that the boss letting Hudson into his office and also wanting to sell a shop to him just means that the boss knows that Hudson is not a magician.Kylan told Hudson and Ajax to follow him as they went out of the building. They arrived in front of a large shop that was next to other shops, a couple of the shops were closed up just as the one they were in front of was also closed.“This is one of the shops that is within your budget, you can take a look at the surroundings before we take a look inside,” Kylan stated calmly with his gaze fixed on the shop.Hudson and Ajax looked around the surroundings. Hudson noticed that the environment was quiet and the view was extremely nice. The shop also looked huge in his eyes from where he was standing.“Are you lads ready to take a look inside the shop?” Kylan asked.“Yes, let’s go in,” Hudson responded. After that th
“It is perfect, I will buy this one,” Hudson responded calmly.Kylan smiled as he turned to look at Hudson. He was glad that he didn’t have to show Hudson the other shops.“Alright then, let’s head back to Shop keeping building so that you can finalize the whole deal,” Kylan said with a bright smile.After that they all left the shop as Kylan locked it.***They arrived back at the shop keeping building. Hudson was sitting down in one of the chairs in front of Heineken, while Kylan was standing next to Hudson.Heineken pressed his two fingers on a white sheet of paper as he slid it over to Hudson. He told Hudson that those are the ownership documents for the shop and that he will have to make the payment before he signs it. Before they got to the building. Hudson had sent Ajax to go and bring 30,000 gold coins from his shop that was all the way on the other side of Magnitoz city. He knew Ajax wouldn’t waste time as he had ways of getting to a location quickly.“So, you say someone is
"The pleasure is all mine, sir," Hudson replied with a smile.After that, he stood up and shook hands with Heineken. Hudson went out of the office with the ownership papers in one hand. This is great; I have passed the mission, and it didn’t even take as long as I expected it to, he thought.He arrived at the front table, where Ajax was sitting on the bench in front of the table. He waved the ownership papers with a smile, letting Ajax know that he was successful in purchasing the shop."You did it, Hudson," Ajax said with a bright smile. "Yes, I couldn’t have done it without you," Hudson replied, smiling back at him.Suddenly, the white system screen appeared in front of him.[Mission 26 completed][Empire building level: Level 4][Magic powers: Level 12][You are now rewarded with 16,000 gold coins.][Would you like to take your 16,000 gold coins reward now? Or wait till later] The system asked."I would like to wait till later," Hudson answered in his head.[Okay, now would you lik
“From the poster you said that the person is going to be managing a huge store all on his own. So, I don’t know how much would be suitable as a monthly income, but you should decide and tell me, if I can accept the income I will let you know,” Tim explained calmly.Looks like he is educated, I can’t just pay him anything, but I think I will be able to be paying him 10,000 gold coins every month, he is going to be selling things that would probably cost more than that, so that amount should be enough, Hudson thought.“I will be paying you 10,000 gold coins every month, will that be enough?” Hudson asked raising an eyebrow.“Of course, that even sounds more than enough,” Tim answered with alot of excitement in his voice.“Alright then, you are going to be working there in the next two weeks, but for now, I am going to be teaching you the few things that you are going to be selling in the shop and their functions,” Hudson said calmly as he stood up.“Ok,” Tim muttered as he also stood up
***********Three days later, Hudson was sitting on one of the chairs inside Ajax’s office, while Ajax was sitting next to him."So, you have employed someone that would be working in the store for you, "Ajax said calmly."Yes, and once I go back into the modern world, I will get things and stack up the store," Hudson replied.Hudson wanted to talk to Ajax about getting more stores and expanding all over the city. He knew he couldn’t pull off buying all those stores on his own, so, he wanted to get Ajax on board because he knew he would need Ajax’s help with getting more stores and expanding."That’s nice to hear. Over the past couple of months I have known you, I got to know that you are one of the best businessmen I have ever known, and with the leverage of the modern world that you have. You are going to outsell almost all the sellers in this world, bravo." Ajax was genuinely happy to see the growth that Hudson was making in the magical world."Thanks man, you know, I couldn’t have
"Mom, you know how my last mission before leaving here was to buy a new shop in the magical world. I have done that and successfully passed the mission. But I had a revelation and a bright idea that I should get more shops in the magical world, as that would make me more money, and an expansion will be great," he explained with a smile. "What do you think about that idea?" He asked raising an eyebrow.Tricia raised one hand and placed it under her chin. She was thinking about the possibilities that would arise if Hudson went ahead with his expansion plans and bought many shops. She turned to look at him. "How many shops are you looking to rent or buy?" She asked softly."Like 20–30 shops," he answered. "OK," she muttered. She started thinking that since Hudson wants to buy 20–30 shops, he would run into some type of problem since he is not from that world, and that once people know that he is the one that owns that many shops, they are going to be envious of him and in turn become ene
