My World Domination System Chapter 40 - We're Broke
"The hell? What is the CEO doing?" Claire asked."Beats me" shrugged Simon. "Crap," she replied. "Is that why she's been like that?"Simon nodded."But that means --No, don't tell me-- I'm a guinea pig? She wants Mardo's money!" realized Claire."Are you really telling me this is your first time realizing that?!" asked Simon, quite surprised."I thought- she just wanted a wel-off son-in-law. Reputation and all that." squealed Claire."That is true. That pauper, Benjamin, would have been a disgrace, after all," replied Simon. Claire did not acknowledge the comment."She's putting her cards on me! That's not fair. I'm not some alleviation scheme!" protested Claire. "I mean-" started Simon. "Simon!" she cried."Look, she already told me to get you to come to your senses about him" he explained."How, exactly?! A few more handjobs?? Maybe we should fly all the way to Paris for a fuckfest" she said."Whoa! I don't, really need to know the details. I mean, geez, Claire, don't you even lik
My World Domination System Chapter 41 - Car Lot
Benjamin Black knocked on JMONEY's door at precisely 07:00 AM. The turmoils of last night were still knotted deeply in Jonathan Morris's body."Jonathan! I know you're in there" said Benjamin as he continued the rap. The door creaked open slowly. "Whaaaaat?" wheezed JMONEY, regretting the day he ever crossed paths with Benjamin. "You're still asleep? When we have such a long day ahead of us?" asked Benjamin."What the hell are you talking about?" replied JMONEY. "Classes don't begin till 10:00 today.""Class??" asked Benjamin, perplexed. "After all that's happened, you're still thinking about class?""It is why I'm here after all.""Allow me to list off the schedule for today. First, we get my Mclaren. Second, we return the copy of the Ivy Leagues. Third, we go downtown." asserted Benjamin. I'm not sure I'm needed for any of these things. Why am I being coerced to go anywhere?, grumbled JMONEY."What's downtown?" asked JMONEY. "You'll see, now get up!" instructed Benjamin. There w
My World Domination System Chapter 42 - Repossession
All Benjamin could see were abandoned cars in the small parking lot. Meanwhile, the man had picked up his landline and began dialling a number. JMONEY was having a panic attack. "We should leave now. Regroup later. Anything's better than the cops." he muttered."Hold on" replied Benjamin. "I can't see anything though. Use Appraisal anyways" he instructed PAYTON.Although there were more than 30 cars in the lot, the appraisal skill only highlighted two. A 1999 Toyota Camry and a 2005 Nissan Altima. The HUD displayed their respective mechanical specs. Each time Benjamin wanted to examine other cars, he would be limited to only examining two at a time."Let me guess. Skill issue, right?" he asked PAYTON."Yes. Upgrade of the Appraisal skill will allow you to investigate more targets at a time.""Benjamin" called out JMONEY, dancing on his heels. "Just one minute" replied Benjamin.This time he was looking at a Toyota 4RUNNER: "Mechanical Specs: FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, V8 Engine, SR5, Stock T
My World Domination System Chapter 43 - Summoning
The dean's office was by the decorative pool on campus. A two-store-long blocky complex which served the Administrative department on the ground floor.It was usually empty this time of the semester, save for a few students who had a pressing need to change their departments quickly or some nut case who only just arrived in the middle of the semester, and was running around to get several permissions to continue.Benjamin was once that nutcase. Since his earlier earnings had come from working a fast food joint, tuition wasn't always readily available. Even from the support of Mr Black. Whose donations had fizzled out over the years.So more than once, Benjamin had had the pleasure of barely making it into the semester, and having to rely on JMONEY to catch up on course materials."Ah, memories" reminisced Benjamin. "Yeah, don't tell me about it" replied JMONEY.With that said the dean's office remained an urban legend to them. It was better if you didn't even hear about it throughout
My World Domination System Chapter 44 - Commitee
"So, I suggest you choose your words very carefully." warned the Skinny man. For a few moments, Michael's body language had suggested he was at a loss for what to do."We're waiting, Mr Duboir" repeated the council head. Michael took a deep breath and looked at Benjamin."I have nothing to say, Sir" he squirmed. "Very good" responded the Council head. There were a few files on his desk that he was combing through. "Benjamin Black," he said. Benjamin turned his head. "Are you Benjamin Black?" asked the council head. "I am" replied Benjamin. "Mr Benjamin, it is the truth that you are one of the complainants to Michael Duboir and his ragtag group?" asked the council."There's no proof he's the leader of that group, Counsellor" interrupted the Dean."Really? I am just repeating what the boy has admitted to. Isn't that right, Mr Duboir?" taunted the counsellor. Michael only shivered in his shoes. "Back to us, Mr Benjamin. You are one of the complainants, yes?" asked the Counsellor. B
My World Domination System Chapter 45 - Office Hunt
"I'm just wondering why I was invited there in the first place." started JMONEY. "They didn't even look at me.""Don't ever complain at being the ambience. If they asked you to corroborate the story, would you have been able to?" asked Benjamin."True. Some of us are more gifted liars than others" taunted JMONEY. "It's not lying. I prefer to think of it as, an assistance of facts," replied Benjamin, keeping his eyes on the road. They had left the Dean's office very quickly; Benjamin didn't want to draw extra attention to his Mclaren parked just outside the entrance, and they were already behind schedule for the list of things to do today."What do you think Michael is thinking?" asked JMONEY."Probably something along the lines of being grateful his father didn't kick him out of the University," replied Benjamin."I know, but that's not what I meant. Is he going to take all of this lightly?""Hmm?""He's not going to be a problem? Shit, none of them are? What if they just ignore us fo

"The number of employees might help us find you, the perfect office, Sir." replied the woman. Benjamin thought hard. He didn't want a starter office. With the way things were going, money might become tight in the near future. He had to think of a number IVY CORP would be able to employ and handle for the next few years."How about, 500?" asked Benjamin. The woman laughed anxiously again. "You don't mean 50, Sir?" she asked. "No, 500 people. Possibly a 1000" said Benjamin. The saleswoman swallowed a gulp and directed them to the seats. "Just one moment, Sir. I'll be right with you."She disappeared into the back, leaving JMONEY looking flustered. "She was nice," he said. Benjamin was a little surprised at that statement. Usually, JMONEY would be in awe of the sheer size of the office he had demanded, or one other detail Benjamin had no time to start explaining."Sure" Benjamin replied. "All things considered. Most of them would have chased us out by now."They waited close to twenty

"Unfortunately, Sir. We can't sell you that building," replied Sarah. Benjamin studied her."Can't, or won't?" he asked her. "Huh?" she asked."I just want to know if I should take my business elsewhere" replied Benjamin. "It's not that simple, Sir. The building is simply not for sale. The owner isn't willing to part with it." Sarah replied. Bullshit, thought Benjamin. Even in his brokie days, he had passed that tower a couple of times. It was always empty."Isn't there always a price for these kinds of things?" he asked."There doesn't seem to be one, here" replied Sarah. Even more Bullshit, thought Benjamin. Guess, I'll try thatHe activated Bow Down To Me."Tell me the truth. Is there no way I can buy that building from anywhere?" asked Benjamin. "Not to the best of my knowledge, Sir," said Sarah."What do you mean?""When I brought it up with my Boss, he told me to stop talking nonsense about it. That the high-rise was off-limits.""And what do you think that means?""Beats me

EPILOGUE
It was a long exhausting flight, and the first order of business was to stop by the University and see the fruits of JMONEY's work. He rode in one of the SUVs, and sure enough, he could see mayhem from even the gate."I'm sorry, Sir. The University can't grant entry to any visitors at the moment. For your own safety." said one of the University's security."Is there something wrong, Officer?" asked Benjamin."We have a few troublemakers we're dealing with. That's all.""Then it's fine, you can let me in" Benjamin used [Bow Down To Me]."Understood, Sir." Benjamin watched as they drove past broken windows, strewn toilet paper on the lawn, black graffiti on beige-white buildings, and a bunch of boys in ski masks running with metal bats. He dialed Michael and JMONEY's numbers. "Come to the dorms."Holy Shit" whispered JMONEY as he entered the air-conditioned Range Rover. Michael entered the front seat, with similar exclamations."What's the status report?" questioned Benjamin."The sta

"Huh?" muttered James. "The hell?"But Benjamin looked up to find Black's easygoing face had turned grave. He almost resembled his wife."I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, Benjamin," answered Mr. Black.Ahh, I see."Thank you for confirming it. I've had a hard time trying to decide if what that bastard told me was the truth, or not. Goodbye." dismissed Benjamin.In an instant, Black appeared before him, his hands crushing Benjamin's wrists to take hold of the pen."You should've just listened, and taken the easy way out, Benjamin," said Black softly.[Notice: [Enhanced Body] compromised.]Benjamin screamed in pain as Black wretched the pen from his fingers, but all too suddenly, Black's movements stopped. His eyes swayed from Benjamin to his stomach.There was a red swelling around a spot where It looked like his intestines had caved. A fatal swelling. James Black removed his hand slowly after delivering a deadly punch to his father's guts. Blood streamed from Black's mout

The man returned to observing the calm waves of the beach, even though Benjamin was now only inches away, looking down on him.Is this Bastard going to make me talk first? frowned Benjamin. He cleared his throat. "You were looking for me?" he started but decided that was too polite. "What the fuck do you want?" he added.The man pointed to his left. "Take a seat. You're in my sun.""What seat?" barked Benjamin, but he was stunned to see, by the man's left, almost touching his shoulders, an identical beach chair. That's Impossible. There was only one plastic chair on this entire Beach! I was sure of that just a few seconds ago.The man gestured again: "Aren't you going to sit?""No, thanks. I'd rather stand."There was no further communication from the 'GrandMaster', until Benjamin decided, reluctantly, to take the Beach chair. Activating [Enhanced Body] first."Now talk" commanded Benjamin."You've done well to make it this far. To be honest, it was pretty touch and go there for a lon
Chapter 174 - Flight
Benjamin turned over the phone and unlocked it. A video was already playing on the home screen. It was a hospital setting, which immediately set off different alarms in Benjamin's head.It was a private ward, and Benjamin recognized the pattern of the windows, the wall colors, and some brand-new equipment by the patient's bedside, which looked a lot like the pictures of hospital machines Amber had once shown to him for approval.The video was in Medhill Hospital. The patient was a still, petite figure with long straight hair that had to be combed for her every morning because she was incapable of waking up to do it herself. It was Ivy Wallouby."I trust you need no further explanation," asked James Black. Benjamin looked up at him with eyes of controlled fury."I'll kill you" he stated, not as a threat, but a prognostication of what was to come."I don't doubt that you would if you could, that is. But I hope this puts everything into perspective. Now, are you willing to hear what I ha

"So, what are you going to do, Justine?"Madam Black looked from family to foe. Claire, Simon, and Mardo were eagerly anticipating some strong response, based on how they were looking at her with wide impatient eyes. She looked back at Benjamin, still dumbfounded."What do you want?" she asked him."Want? Well, Mrs Caroline may be exaggerating things slightly there, so I don't blame you for thinking that way. This isn't some threat, or even Blackmail, Ma'am. In fact, it's quite the opposite. We're here out of respect, and professional courtesy, as Amber had deduced that maybe the board might have not told you." Benjamin rose."And now you know. We'll work with Mrs Caroline to send out figures first thing on Monday morning. It should be a good deal to think over the weekend.""Why are you doing this?" cut in Claire. For a long time, even since the bank incident, she had not been able to look him directly in the eyes. But now she did.Her eyes are weak and dull, thought Benjamin, before

Benjamin grinned and clinked his glass a few more times. "A toast, everyone." Soon, the sound of Benjamin's glass was the only sound to be heard in the hotel's hall. Benjamin looked again to the Black family table.Madam Black, Simon, and Mardo had all joined Claire in a gaping expression.Benjamin raised his glass. "To the couple--"Mardo rose. "Get this hobo out of here! Now!" he instructed, not minding decorum. The guests were appalled as some security approached Benjamin."Are you sure you should be treating your guests this way?" asked Benjamin."And when I find out who let him in here, you all are going to have a lot to answer for!" Mardo berated the security.Should I get rough? wondered Benjamin. But before two of the guards could close the distance by a further step, 3 gentlemen from a nearby table rose and quickly approached to block the guards."What?""Is exactly what I want to ask, Mr.Mardo." Caroline's voice pierced the air from the table next to Benjamin. "As far as I k
Chapter 171 - Deal
Amber donned a sunset brown dress that draped all the way to her ankles, barely brushing past the straps of the fragile, but stunning black high heels. On both of her wrists were gold and silver bracelets stacked upon each other in closed, tight gaps.Her necklace was even simpler; a round thin chain of something that sparkled under the building spotlights, and helped to accentuate her mischievous smile. She had curled the ends of her hair into two stunning semi-circles that she brushed off her chest as she approached the dumbfounded Benjamin."Ready when you are, Boss." she poked playfully."Looks like someone's been on a shopping spree. Do I need to look into your salary?" he teased."If you do, you should remember all the bonuses I should have made for all my *hard work*""I'm just surprised you even had the time.""Oh, no. I had my cousin pick this out for me.""Really? Wonder what she looks like."Johnny Zeppeli coughed. "Don't you people have somewhere to be already? This is sti
Chapter 170 - Cold Feet
"Pauper?""Not quite, as you can see. I usually go by Benjamin these days. Also, CEO of Ivy Corp. President of the Medhill board. Or just simply, Boss. The elevator's closing, Mr. Mardo. Don't you have somewhere to be?"Mardo Wormwood found himself leaning slightly off-center and stopped himself with the door before he could fall and collapse right there."It's impossible" he whispered under his breath, staring at Benjamin like he was the 8th wonder of the world. A wonder that had risen from the dead and posed a threat to his survival."You know what they say. Something's always impossible until it's not." smiled Benjamin.Mardo massaged his head. "I have to be dreaming or something"Benjamin pushed the button for the ground floor, with Mardo inside. "Don't worry, Mr. Mardo. All will be explained in time. And by in time, I mean very soon. Extremely sooon" The doors began to close. "See you at the Wedding" winked Benjamin from the other side.On the ground floor, Mardo was still strugg
Chapter 169 - Elevator Pauper
Inside the tower, Mardo stopped by the front desk."Excuse Me. I would like to see the CEO" he strummed politely. Dominique, one of the officers on duty that day asked: "Do you have an appointment?""If I had, I would've mentioned it, don't you think?""Unfortunately" replied Dominique, "We can't let you in without an appointment, Sir.""Do you know who I am?"Dominique shook his head irritably."Then at least tell your boss who I am. Mardo Wormwood. Aircable CEO, and owner. Or you don't know what this too? Do yourself a favor. Pull out your phone, find out, and don't get fired for turning away someone like me when your boss comes in to check in later.""I know, Aircable, Sir. Unfortunately--" Dominque turned his attention to his pocket, where his cell was vibrating."Just one moment, Sir. Hello?"Mardo overheard a gentle tinny voice issuing an inaudible command."Alright. Understood." Dominique ended the call. "You're all set to go, Mr. Mardo. We're glad to have you."And with that,
