"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

    "You have gained 20 dominion points for intimidation." said the system. Benjamin did the math. That was 2 million dollars, for strong-arming an old man. It was a crime that he couldn't convert this to money. He would do this all day."Matter of fact, We can't sell you the tower." started Mike. Benjamin folded his arms. "Because that particular building is already in the process of being sold. It's got buyers lined up already" explained Mike. "Buyers?" asked Benjamin. Mike nodded."There's an auction, see. Coming up this weekend. And that building's on the list." explained Mike."I didn't know those kinds of buildings could be auctioned off" mused Benjamin. "This one is. For some reason, the owner wants it off the market pretty quick," replied Mike."What's the starting price?" asked Benjamin. Mike bit his tongue and clasped his fists together. "Thats--" he balked. Benjamin tapped the card thrice on the table."Mr Mike?" taunted Benjamin. "Whispers say around 20 million dollars." gr

    Benjamin scrolled over to Amber's contact and dialled for a third time that morning. There was no beep, just a brief disconnect after a few seconds. "Switched off?" JMONEY asked. Benjamin nodded. "I'm sure she's fine" answered JMONEY."You have no way of knowing that" snapped Benjamin. JMONEY shrugged. "What else am I going to say?" he asked. "Let's just go" replied Benjamin. "Back To Classes, I hope?" asked JMONEY. "Sure" replied Benjamin, not really caring.They arrived on campus, just at the tail-end of ThermoDynamics. With a brief apology from JMONEY about how they had been in a fender bender, Professor Tolga allowed the star-studded student Jonathan and his friend, Benjamin into his class.Up ahead, above their usual seats, a familiar girl waved over to them. It was Samira, she also took this class. JMONEY was about to ignore her, but Benjamin already opted to sit next to her. JMONEY dragged his feet to sit at the aisle, next to Benjamin.There was a brief exchange of What the he

  • My World Domination System   Chapter 50 - Strange Visitor

    Amber Stone walked up the granite steps into MedHill Hospital after a relaxing night at the Continental Hotel. She had been successful in convincing the board about a sale and was awaiting a decision on their schedule to meet with Benjamin.She also hoped that Benjamin had kept his word about getting an office to set up for their meeting. It didn't have to be too fancy, somewhere neat would do. Maybe she would call him later to stress that fact. She strolled straight to her office, where Dr.Roberts was just setting up. "Hello Doctor" she greeted. "Miss Stone! Hello," he replied boyishly. Dr Roberts was just a resident a few months ago under NeuroSurgery. He was now 32, and a bona fide Neurosurgeon, courtesy of Amber. She felt he was a capable hand and more than enough to fill in her role here at MedHill.Maybe after 4 or 5 surgeries, she could leave him without supervision. "How are our patients today?" she asked. "We're prepping Mr DJjango for his afternoon surgery.""He was the one

    By 06:00, Benjamin could recognize most of the faces from that fateful night. They chatted casually and helped themselves to the food Samira procured from the local Pizza Restaurants and diners. Some of it, she claimed, like the Shepherd's pie and Cinnamon rolls and the Guacamole, were privately contracted out to her mother."Here's the receipts" she said, when she was done setting up, "and the change." Benjamin looked at her curiously. In truth, he had already forgotten about the money. Nor was he expecting Samira to have such a clean slate of character to return change, if there was any. Still, he perused the list."$300 for drinks (Punch and Wine. No Spirits.) $200 for Pizza. $250 for Donuts, Cinnamon Rolls, Guacamole Sauce. $50 for Chips. And a $100 Tip?" read aloud Benjamin, eyeing the last item."That's for my mom. She runs her own place, you know? And getting all this together in such a sort time frame." Samira replied.Benjamin waved his hand, and returned to her the $100 she

    "All right. That's pretty much the gist of it. Any questions?" asked Benjamin. "Notice: +100 Dominion points earned for Charisma. Total DP: 450 points"The members were a little more settled now. Instead of their previous stiff appearances, they made themselves comfortable in the apartment; resting on the sofas, the chairs and mingling quietly. When Benjamin raised the question, they paused to think rather than just stare at each other uncomfortably.One raised his hand. "Does all of this come before or after classes?Oh, so now, you suddenly care about classes, thought Benjamin. "Good question. You'll have to work that out with JMONEY." JMONEY felt a cold shiver. "He'll look through your schedule and organize a roster," said Benjamin."What? But most of us here are in the same year, and taking the same courses" complained one."Yes, well, because the project is so important, not everybody's going to be able to attend class leisurely. We have to work both day and night." "Huh? But

    "When do we start?" asked one overzealous fellow."JMONEY's going to put everyone together on a private messaging platform. Now that, you are not allowed to share with anyone under any circumstances. I don't care if the FBI catches you, keep your phone locked. In the event that you are caught, just stay silent. We should have a daily update system, so we'll know if something's up, and most likely, I'll need to step up. However, if we understand that someone else has gained access to our group because of your actions, you're out." said Benjamin."And by out you mean?""Yep. Expelled." I answered The crowd was a little restless this time. Maybe it would be better if I don't tell them just yet that I'm still thinking about what to do about other possible violations, thought Benjamin."And as for when we'll begin" started Benjamin, who looked to JMONEY. JMONEY crossed both arms just beneath his neck. You're killing me."Sometime tomorrow afternoon, I expect," replied Benjamin. "That'll b

    "Notice: Inheritance activated. Subhost: Michael Duboir" the system beeped.Michael shuddered a little and then looked around himself. "That's why they'll be reporting to you from now on," said Benjamin. "What?""Congratulations, you're the new field commander." started Benjamin. "Essentially, everybody is reporting to you when it comes to fighting.""I don't think you're hearing me. These guys have actual weapons-" started Michael."If it comes to that, and you think you can't win. Just call me up."Michael stared in astonishment."What in blazes are you going to do? Throw money at them?" he snarled."I would like to point out to you that that strategy hasn't failed yet. But, no. Let's just say, I'm not that scared of guns" Michael stroked his chin, dumbfounded. JMONEY coughed."So, Field Commander, that's new," he said. "Yes, I made it up on the spot," said Benjamin plainly. "And where is that, on the chain of command?" asked JMONEY, with a stare. "That's right. You said I was y

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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,
