"Cheers!" Tori muttered as she tossed her wine glass with Henley. They are now celebrating their win. Henley tossed his glass too, sipping his wine as he savored the city air. The ambience here from the top of his tower is overwhelming, and somehow fresh and satisfying. Perhaps it's the feeling of winning that pleasures him. He must admit, the city view is more enjoyable tonight because of the news he received -- the pharmacy that framed him up before is now suffering in the mud. Money...this gets things to work fast and easy! Henley thought to himself. "Hey, Tori, as the head of my property acquisition team, I want you to lead the guys to work harder," Henley said. Tori's brows furrowed, "Harder?" she asked. Henley nodded, " Yeah because I'm planning to buy the world!" he muttered with dreamy eyes. And she tossed his glass again with Tori, while the other one was astounded at what he uttered. [System Update!] Henley felt a message on his fingertips. So, he now excused hims
[ To keep your lord rank you need to maintain some number of acquired properties. You cannot be a lord without owning, and at this level, you are required to cultivate your ownership. You may own land, laborers, or any properties, but all of those are needed to be acquired. To be the official lord of the system requires a certain number of things you own.] The system explains to Henley. Henley's brows furrowed. He expected that the ladder to ascension would be easy now that he's in level 3 but then it seems that he still needs to work out to be the lord of the system. Well, if that means acquiring, he's confident of that anyway. "I'm building my own pyramid now, would that count?" Henley asked. [Toottttt!]The system scanned. It's checking what Henley was asking. [ At this level, there are no specific criteria given for acquiring, or no particular things given to be acquired however you should abide by a general criteria for this, that every piece you acquired as your own should
So it turns out that Aula's grandparents are the original and rightful owners of the coal mine, and so is the village around it. The entire land has been theirs until the Krux family took over it with the help of some Keres Wiscon. Henley's eyebrows raised discovering how the President's name was being dragged into this, so he did his further research. It turns out that Keres Wiscon, the President is not really close to the Krux family, it just that during that time, they have the same motive, for Mr. Krux, that's to get the land, and for Keres, that's to get rid of Aula's grandparents. So, they worked together to get what they both wanted, and in doing that, they needed a person to do the job, and that's Senator Bob. "Hmm.." Henley slammed the folder on his desk. " No wonder Aula is after the President, and she hated the Krux too," he mumbled. "So, are you really now at Aula's side?" Noah asked him. Henley smiled, " Let's see, well, I have nothing against the President, but I
Henley needs to update the system about his task in the Lord rank. As of now on day 3 of the task, he already had acquired two properties, one is land, and the other is laborers. Yeah, he bought the slaves of Sansan Village. He bought them to free them. he may be greedy and aggressive when it comes to the system, but he can't take those poor people suffering for the rest of their lives. He knows how it feels to be treated unfairly, to toil hard without fair compensation, to add up the hunger and bullying. So, he can't allow the people of Sansan Village to continue in that kind of suffering. While others decided to migrate to another city, some of the people in Sansan Village applied as construction workers in Henley's pyramid project. Henley has honestly no plan of making a construction team, but for the sake of giving jobs to the people of Sansan Village he already organized one. So, as a result, he already completed two requirements of the system. [It should disturb or create chaos
"Nobody really owns a city. A city cannot be actually bought no matter how filthy rich you are you can't really buy it, even a tiny ghost town won't be for sale. Some huge legal aspects and humanitarian reasons would be hindering it, so technically yeah, you can't buy Red City, but you can own it in other ways," Henley's acquisition team explained to him. Acquiring the Red City is his next move in response to what the system requires of him to stay in his lord rank. Henley nodded. He gets it."Can you discuss more the other ways you're saying?" he asked. "You can purchase lands, establishments, real estate, businesses, anything you want that that's within the premises of Red City to the point that wherever the residents turn they'll be seeing properties you own," Tori explained. A smile flickered across Henley's face, " I like that!" he exclaimed, " Now can you give me all that's for sale?" Tori was ready for her presentation today. She immediately switched on the huge monitor b
Auction PartyHenley arrived at the auction party in his blue car a Rolls Royce Boat Tail, the most expensive car in the world. He was a show stopper when he got off of it, looking elegantly handsome in his suit and expensive jewels. The people at the entrance turned their heads to notice him. Who doesn't know Henley Austen? In just a short time, his name had ascended to the highest society in Red Coast. He's known to be the filthy buyer, the money king, and somehow the punisher. His house turned into a tourist spot in Red City and became viral, which in turn is giving him money, yet of course, he wanted to maintain influence in Red Coast country so he shared half of it with the government. Who would forget the guy who bought the most high-end bar in Red City and made it accessible to the common people? Henley Austen in just a few days has shaken Red City. He is feared by the elites. He is admired by the slum. Yet, now with the connections and influence he's establishing in the entire
“Is that it?” Henley raised one eyebrow as he threw the remote on the couch. This is the video file which Tori gave him, and he’s just finished watching it. He’s in a hurry to buy that legendary yacht, and yet here he is given this video crap! “What the hell is this?” Henley bat an eye at Tori. Tori answered him in a calm manner. Perhaps she’s the only person in the world who’s not intimidated by Henley’s temper. “Well, it turns out that Riva’s team do not just entertain buyers, even those with names and money are turned down, that’s why until now her yacht is still on sale. It’s not enough that you have the money,” Tori explained. “I gave the video files to you so you can study her, and plan your steps,” she added. Henley fell silent. The expression on his face went dark. Now, he took the video seriously, focusing his gaze again on the screen. “Give me the other files!” he commanded. Henley continued watching the video files. He also goes through some clip news ab
“Your contract with DZ entertainment is going to end this year, rumors are they don’t have plans to renew you,” Riva’s manager informed her. Riva just shrugs her shoulders as she sips her wine. She seemed like she didn't care. She’s got back up anyway. 10 years with DZ is already enough. “Should I tell the Pendragon?” her manager asked her. Riva’s eyebrows creased as she side eyed her manager. “Why should you?” she hissed. “This is not a problem anyway. I can handle this on my own,” she said. And the manager just lowered her head, and left even without Riva telling her to do so. She knows Riva. She knows her mood and attitude very well. If the job doesn’t only pay well, she won’t bother managing her anyway. Meanwhile, Riva pulled out her vape and began smoking while she’s thinking of what she's going to do next. Now, she has no choice but to grab the recent offer to her by another entertainment company. Riva then put down her vape and dialed her phone. She was calling her secr
