****************

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

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?

    “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

    ***********Later in the afternoon,Hudson was walking down the large hallway of the mall; he was doing shopping for his new shop in the magical world. He was carrying a large backpack and a huge shopping cart in front of him.I need to make sure I get everything I need for the new shop. Tim would be able to sell all of these, and I am glad I explained the functions of most of them to him. As Hudson was about to enter an aisle that was filled with kitchen equipment, the system’s white screen appeared in front of him.[The system will now issue its twenty-seventh mission.][Mission 27: Sell 5 swords to 5 level 50 magicians in the magical world.][Mission Time Limit: 168 Hours][Reward: 18,000 gold coins][Will you like to be transported into the magical world in the next 24 hours or wait till your time in the modern world is over?]"I will wait till my time in the modern world is over," Hudson answered in his head.After that, the system's white screen vanished.

    Ajax picked up the pen and dipped into the ink as he started composing the letter “Julius I caught a couple of your men in my territory they killed hundreds of my men and now they are all dead including the head Hercules. With all this information, I would like for you to pick inside one of the two options that I’m giving you. One is either you get ready for war in the next three days as me and my men will be invading your city, two is either you come to my palace tomorrow with 3,000,0000 gold coins and 500 of your men that are going to be working under my kingdom. There are no negotiations, if I don’t see you in my palace tomorrow, I’m going to assume that you picked war. Have a nice day,” Ajax ended the letter.After that, he sealed it up and gave it to the guard that was standing in front of him.“Your job is to deliver that letter to King Julius, after you give the letter to him, get out of there and head back straight away,” Ajax instructed. After that, he dismissed the guard.Hu

    “Sounds perfect,” Ajax muttered.“Now I want you all to move back from the prisoners,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as he stood up. Telling them to move back didn’t entail that they should leave the room. So, they understood his orders perfectly.Ajax came down from his throne and walked toward the men who were kneeling on the floor including Hercules.“Now, I can tell that you lots are not from this city, hence why none of you know magic and couldn’t even dress accordingly like a true Magnitoz citizen. That must mean that you all are from Human Valley, so, I would like for you all to help me understand who sent you here and why did you target my guards,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.All the men were quiet, they were now four in number including Hercules. “Are none of you going to speak!” Ajax screamed with his eyebrows tightly pressed together. Hudson and the guards that were in the room were all quiet. They could sense how angry Ajax was.Aja

    ‘Oh my goodness, could it be Julius’s men behind these attacks? Does that mean that Julius is trying to start a war with me? I don’t think he would want to start a war though. I will have to give him the benefit of the doubt, if I catch one of those men tomorrow, I will interrogate him and get the information I want out of him. I will have to get to the bottom of all of this, Ajax thought.***Meanwhile, inside a large bush that was filled with a lot of men, they were the 50 trained men that Julius had deployed in Magnitoz city and their leader was a 35-year-old man named Hercules, he was about 7 feet tall and built with a lot of muscles. They had killed 23 of the men that Ajax sent to them and dumped their bodies in the river that was at the back of the bush. Hercules was told that two of the men escaped from them.“Listen up everyone!” Hercules screamed calling all their attention over to him.“Yes, commander!” They all answered in unison as they shifted their attention over to Herc

    “You are right honey, this is what we are going to have to be doing now,” she replied with a smile. After that, Hudson told her goodbye as he ended the call. He sat down on the chair.***Later in the night,Hudson was lying on his bed; he was scrolling through his contact list as he saw Maddy’s contact and remembered that he hadn’t called her just like he promised her he would. Also, Hudson had an idea for a second date that he planned for when he got back from the magical world from his mission. He dialed her number and placed the phone on his ear. After a few rings, Maddy answered the call.“Hey Maddy, how are you doing?” He asked in a loving tone.“I’m doing fine and you?”“Fine, you know, I’m sorry I didn’t call you yesterday, I was occupied with a lot of things,” he said calmly.“Nah, don’t worry, it’s fine, I was also occupied with a lot of things,” she replied.“Cool, you know, I had a lot of fun time with you, and I have an idea for a second date, I don’t know if you would be

    “I will do it, I will hang out with Maddy and go with the flow, I won’t think about secrets for now,” he said gazing into her eyes. Tricia let his head go as she stood up.“That’s good, just let everything flow for now,” she replied. She was happy that Hudson was going to lose up about the whole thing and let everything flow with Maddy.“I will be heading down to the dining table to set up dinner, I will call you when I’m done,” she said attempting to leave the room.“Okay Mom,” he muttered. After that, Tricia went out of the room.‘My mom must want me to get close to Maddy or even be dating her or she just wants to see me dating a woman or be happy, I don’t know which might be the case, but I am happy to oblige, I truly do like Maddy. I don’t know why I have never tried going on a date before, but I felt alive talking to Maddy today, and talking to a woman other than my mom is not that bad. I did feel a lot of sexual tension with her, even if I am still a virgin’ Hudson thought.As h

    "Yes, I have been in love three times before and in three relationships overall. My last relationship ended five months ago; he was very toxic and abusive. It took a lot for me to get out of the relationship because I loved him a lot, but after I gathered the courage to leave him, since then I haven’t been able to get back into the dating pool as I had poured all my efforts and myself into my work. But I will say this: I am attracted to and interested in getting to know you," she stated calmly, staring into Hudson’s eyes.Hudson smiled upon hearing the last words she said. ‘I wish it were that easy for me to let her into my life; I wish it were that easy, but I am not sure she would be able to handle the truths that come with being in my life, and I am sure if she got to know the type of person I am, she wouldn’t want to stay or even believe what I actually do for a living’ Hudson thought."I am equally attracted to you and interested," he replied. ‘It’s not bad after all; I am glad m

    ***Hudson arrived in front of a fancy restaurant that had bright fancy lights all over the place. As he entered the restaurant, the sound of classic music hit him, and that was when he realized that the restaurant was not a regular restaurant. Hudson looked around and saw multiple people occupying the tables in the restaurant. He looked around to see if he could spot the description of the lady that his mom gave him and a lady that was sitting alone. Hudson spotted a table where a blonde woman was sitting alone, and from the way she was sitting, he could tell that she was short. "That’s definitely her," he mumbled as he ambled over to the table."Good afternoon, are you Maddy?" He asked with a smile. She raised her head to look at him as she realized that it was Hudson; she had seen photos of him that Tricia had sent to her prior to the date."Yes, I am. Have a seat. It’s nice to finally meet you, Hudson," Maddy said with a bright smile. She was wearing a red dress with bright crysta

    "For this particular job, I will get it done for 20,000 dollars," Joshua responded."Sounds good. When do you think you are going to get it done?" Hudson inquired. Joshua assured him that he was going to get it done within three days. After that Hudson escorted him out of the house as Joshua carried the bags of gold coins with him."I look forward to doing a lifetime of business with you," Hudson said in a rumbling tone. As Joshua was heading towards the gate."Me too, sir!" Joshua replied.***Later in the afternoon, Hudson was getting ready in front of the large mirror that was inside his closet. He wanted to head over to the mall and get the items for his shop in the magic world."Hudson, where are you?" Tricia called out to him. Hudson was shocked to hear his mom’s voice; he didn’t think that she would be home at this time of the day."I’m in here, mom!" Hudson answered as he swiftly closed the button of the blue shirt that he was wearing.As he was about to come out of the closet

    GOLDSMITH 2

    "Yeah, you are right; do you know any goldsmith?" Hudson asked, hoping that she would know a goldsmith.Tricia told him that she doesn’t know any, but that Hudson could look for one himself and that Goldsmith is everywhere online. After that, they both agreed that Hudson would look for a goldsmith himself, negotiate everything with the person, and then keep in touch with the goldsmith."It is settled then; you are going to work on getting a goldsmith," Tricia said, staring at Hudson. She noticed a sad look on Hudson’s face. ‘I don’t think Hudson is himself at all; he looks down. I think I should do something nice for him, something that would lift his spirit’ she thought."Yeah, I will start doing the research tonight," he replied. Tricia stood up from the couch."I should get going back to the restaurant; I need to get a few things done. We will catch up in the night when I’m back," she said with a smirk. Hudson stood up as he hugged her, and after that, Tricia went out of the house.
