My World Domination System Chapter 54 - Chain Of Command
"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
My World Domination System Chapter 55 - Thief
The man in the bandanna had crossed from the other side of the street to Benjamin's way. "Stop that man!" yelled one of the officers. The suspicious man barreled towards Benjamin. In his right hand, was a brown paper shopping bag."Out of my way!" grunted the suspicious character. Benjamin made to move, but this man was already moving too fast. There was a collision."Notice: Strengthened Body Activated" The man deflected off Benjamin's chest like he was made of iron, and tumbled onto the pavement.The bag split to reveal some new sneakers, boots, and a couple of neatly folded T-shirts. The officers soon caught up. "You did good, Sir," said one of them, praising Benjamin. The other stopped down to suppress the culprit and handcuff him. "You have the right to remain silent," he said, taking off the bandana. "You'll never take me alive!" The bandanna revealed not a man, but a young angry adolescent. He squirmed and shook and shuddered under the handcuffs. "Save it for the judge, and s
My World Domination System Chapter 56 - Johnny Zeppeli
The tall lean officer folded like newspaper on the sidewalk. The gruff one sprang forward in alarm, reaching downwards for his firearm. "Don't move!"Benjamin activated Bow Down To Me, hoping he had made the right choice."Put down the Weapon," he instructed. The Officer's hands wavered a bit, and his eyes dilated in shock. Almost like Bow Down To Me had gotten to his hands first before his mind. But soon enough, he holstered back his pistol subserviently.Benjamin was satisfied. The tall officer was most likely a usual on the field, and this one in front of him was a recruit. He thought a bit for his next actions. Bow Down To Me usually only granted him two orders."Release the boy to me," he said. The Officer's arm was still around Johnny Zeppeli, and he slackened it slowly, throwing Zeppeli towards Benjamin. Johhny fell face flat on the floor, and looked up, still bewildered by the turn of events."When he wakes up," said Benjamin pointing to the tall officer, "you tell him that t
My World Domination System Chapter 57 - Auction
"Right this way, Sir" One of them pointed to the Esclators behind them, handing Benjamin back his card. They followed him to the first floor, Johnny being grateful that he didn't have to keep hopping around on the slow-moving escalator."Who are you?" Johnny asked Benjamin. "Hmm? That's true. I haven't introduced myself , have I?" "I don't care about your name, dude. I meant, how rich are you?"Benjamin turned. "Why do you want to know so bad?""Well, these guys seem to think so. They treat you the same way everybody treats my brothers when they go out."Benjamin laughed. "That's a compliment, to be compared to your family. But is it a problem?""It is. Wherever the rich gather, someone from my family tends to be there. I'm not looking for that sort of attention" said Johhny solemnly. "Well, I doubt that'd be likely for me. I'm not quite as rich as the Zepellis, so you have nothing to worry about" Not yet, anyway.Upstairs was a long corridor with doors on both sides. Down to thei
My World Domination System Chapter 58 - Fugazi
Benjamin decided to play a little game. After the gold brooch ended up selling for a stupid 8.7 million dollars, he turned on Appraisal. The next item was a marble Buddha statue that had supposedly dated 400 years, unopened. The woman started with an opening price of 4 Million dollars. 'Notice: Appraisal: Tian Tan Buddha Sculpture Type: Handmade Authenticity: Yes Age: 400 years, Finance: Worth: 10 Million Dollars""Huh?" exclaimed Benjamin."What?" exclaimed Johnny. "Nothing, I just thought it would be worth more than that" confessed Benjamin."What? Of course, it's worth more than that. Don't you know how they set starting bids?" asked Johnny. Benjamin shook his head and smiled. "Are you sure you're rich?" asked Johnny."Just explain.""It's half. They start the bids at half of its original worth, or at least 40%"Benjamin did the math. A 4 Million opening price would make the worth of the item 10 Million dollars. The auction was correct. It was interesting that they had gotten the
My World Domination System Chapter 59 - House and Bids
"There's no guarantee your item's even going to reach the fair market value as an auctioneer" started Johnny."Explain""You remember what I said about the Fugazi? They're playing it too. Only more discreetly. I assume you don't know what a reserve price is?" Johnny asked. Benjamin only glared, at him, trying to avoid the shame of shaking his head to agree."Okay Okay" continued Johnny "Basically, the reserve price is the actual price the seller's willing to sell for.""The Seller?" "Yes. The Seller. Not the Auction House. The actual owners of the property. You see, what happens is, when they approach these auction houses, both parties agree on the minimum price the item's going to be sold for.""You mean the starting price?"asked Benjamin."Of course not! The starting price has to be cheaper than the reserve to attract bidding. Remember, it's 40% of the Fair Market Value. Totally different.""I see." Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows. "And let me guess, the reserve price is going to
My World Domination System Chapter 60 - Bidding War
"We call them Ghost Bidders," said Johnny. "Huh?""It doesn't matter." started Amber on the call. "The aim is just to slow down the pace of the bids. "Johnny scratched the top of his wolf mask. "Usually ghost bidders are persons artificially placed in an auction to inflate the price even more, and more," he said."They can do that?" asked Benjamin. "Oh, no, it's quite illegal if you're caught," Johnny said, shifting in his seat. "But I wonder if we can do the opposite here.""To achieve what, exactly?" asked Benjamin. There was a new bid by the bottom right of the hall."Going once, going twice - 53 and a half. We have 53 and a half million dollars. That is 53 Million and 500 thousand dollars. Anyone? Anyone? Going once, going twice--", 53 and a half? Such an odd amount. "Is that you?" Benjamin asked Amber. "This is the only way to slow it down. And we should stop talking before someone notices the jig." Benjamin looked around the blackened hall. He couldn't see shit, regardless
My World Domination System Chapter 61 - Simon
"Appraisal. Previous Owner: BLOCKED, BLOCKED, BLOCKED, BLOCKED."With this, Benjamin was certain. He didn't know how exactly it was possible for Simon to be wielding a system but was considerably sure that Obsidian Towers belonged to the Black Family. He got another text from Amber: "Above 75 million. How to proceed?" Benjamin turned to Johnny. "And If I have proof?" he asked."What?" retorted Jonny. "If I have proof, that he's a plant working here. What next?" Benjamin repeated. Johnny shrugged. "I don't know. Most of what I do know comes from watching TV and going out with my brothers. We've never really caught anyone. But how can you tell?""Let's just say I have a nose for scumbags," replied Benjamin. He texted Amber: "70 Million guy is a fraud. It's Simon Black, raising the prices. Obsidian belongs to the Blacks. Proceed with what you think is best.""I hope you're sure about this," she replied.And with that, Benjamin leaned back into his chair. "And we have 80 million! Going

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
Chapter 173 - James Black
"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
Chapter 172 - Enemy of Enemy
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,
