2023-11-09 23:43:47“He’s over there” pointed Anna, to the entrance. Simon frowned and turned to her.“Are you serious? Here?” he barked.
“I’m afraid he insisted,” said Anna, holding out her arm. “Shall we?”
Simon made a clicking sound with his tongue as he followed Anna up the steps. On the final landing, Amber and Benjamin approached them.
“Good Evening, Mr.Simon.I don’t believe we’ve had the pleasure of meeting” started Amber.
“Are you the one that’s being a pain in my arse?” asked Simon bluntly.
“Oh, no. That would be my boss, here” Amber pointed backwards to Benjamin, who stood a few yards behind her.
Simon squinted to get a good measure of him.“Listen, man, let’s all be reasonable here. What you say we go inside, and-”
Benjamin stepped closer to him, and Simon’s eyes slowly expanded from their resting narrow shape

“That was you?!” whined Simon.Benjamin made a polite bow. “Benjamin, the blind bat, at your service.” he said.“You can guess how we got the rest.”Simon yelled, and rushed at him, grabbing both his shoulders.“Who put you up to this huh? Was It Zeppeli, or the Maestros, or the Jaegers? Which one of our enemies sent you?” Johny shifted backwards on the mention of Zeppeli. Benjamin used Martial Arts to promptly break three of Simon’s fingers.“Ahhh!” roared Simon, dropping to the floor in pain. Some loud chanting could be heard from Simon’s security as they advanced with no fear to their master. The auction’s security cocked guns, ready to fire this time!“Don’t you take another step!” barked Anna, but Simon’s security had had enough. They continued advancing.“This is your final warning. We will shoot!” threatened Anna, but it fell on deaf ears. That is until they could hear sirens. It was coming from down the street. Simon looked up.“We had a deal. Who called the police?” asked Simon

“You’re the one who stole my dominion points, aren’t you?” Mr Kirkland was too stunned to speak for the first few seconds. But soon, he put his arm around the window of the Ferrari and smiled at Benjamin.“So, you figured it out. That was quick. Did your System tell you? I thought they were not allowed to disclose other identities of System Users” mused Kirkland. “But I suppose it was a no-brainer after all. The choices were between me and that Kid, right?” Benjamin approached him.“Who the hell are you?” asked Benjamin. Kirkland grinned and leaned back in the soft leather bucket seats of his car. “Me? I’m Kirkland. CEO of MoonStar Industries. I believe I’ve already introduced myself, Mr. Benjamin. “Yeah, we’ll see” started Benjamin, firing up Appraisal.[Appraisal. Name: BLOCKED. Age: BLOCKED. Dominion Points: BLOCKED. Exp: BLOCKED. Skills: BLOCKED Strengths: BLOCKED Weaknesses: BLOCKED.] “What the fuck?” exclaimed Benjamin. Kirkland laughed. “Don’t tell me. Appraisal? Come on. S

“What?!”“Whoa, you haven’t heard the most of it, Mr Black. It’s much worse than that.” Replied Kirkland squeezing through Benjamin’s left wrist. Benjamin didn’t feel a thing, but [Notice: Strengthened Body Integrity Compromised. 90% Integrity left. 70%. 50%]Amber was with Johnny several feet away, still clueless to their conversation. “Let her go, Mr Black. It wouldn’t work out anyway. Do you think she could ever look in your direction? No amount of money’s going to change that. It won’t erase, all this—“ Kirkland gestured to Benjamin's demeanour.“If you’ve got something to say-“ started Benjamin.“It’s like putting perfume over a rotting stench. Well, I’m sure you can imagine how worse that makes it” snapped Kirkland. Was his appearance really that distasteful? It had been fun to get one up over people who kept underestimating him, but for even a system user to bring it up. Amber also commented on it back at school, he thought.“Ahh, it seems you understand, already. Has she comme

“But you are the Johnny Zeppeli!” said the older gentleman. “How the hell do you know that?” asked Johnny, flustered. The gentleman clicked his tongue, and his colleague shook his head. “Such short memories, they have, this generation. Can you truly not recall? I fitted you personally for your sister’s graduation party.” “And the ball in Norway, If I remember.” said the round man.“And the Presidential Rehearsal Dinner in the United States.” Said the other. Johnny cocked his head and turned around the room. “Oh, yeah. I guess this is why this place felt a little familiar. I’ve never come here on my own accord though.” he said.The two men lead Johnny and Benjamin deeper into the Catacombs of Valentino. “I have done a disservice to you, Master Benjamin. Allow me to introduce ourselves. I am M. Dubois, and my small round colleague goes by Mr. Giordano.” Said Dubois, bowing.“Ah, it warms my gentle heart that we have a Zeppeli and a Black at the same time in our humble store. It is

“Just pick a suit” instructed Benjamin, from within the dresser. Dubois had already disappeared, In a few minutes, he returned with an emerald two-piece set.“I remember Master Zeppeli has a fondness for the green, no?” asked Dubois. Johnny examined the fabric, his obstinance fading with each stroke.“Handcrafted by the Great Valentino III.” Added Dubois. “Green is the most pacifist colour,” he said.“What are you waiting for Master Zeppeli? Put it over yourself, quickly. Although your measurements with us are a bit outdated, my trained eye is rarely wrong. This is one of a kind. The only piece we have in this country. Eh, bien. I deem it is yours!” pronounced Dubois.Johnny visited the dresser and emerged at the same time Benjamin was wearing a sour cream piece: a Cream Blazer, blue jeans and a white vest. Johnny, on the other hand, looked like he had just stepped out from filming on set.“Merveillux, Master Zepelli. Simply, Merveilleux. Between this and Bespoke, there is no differe

“Dubois, why did you of all people, decide to tell me a lie?” asked Benjamin. Mr. Dubois blinked his eyes in confusion. “Master Benjamin?” he repeated. Benjamin silenced from his speaking further using his palm.“I’m already quite aware, that you know who you Mr Ollivander is. And I am quite sure you have his exact location.” Benjamin had confirmed this using [Appraisal] earlier. Both Dubois’ and Giordano’s heartbeats had sped up considerably when the matter of Mr. Ollivander Wallouby was brought up.Dubois opened his mouth but was silenced again.“Never mind how I know. Now the question is, are you going to keep lying to me or not?” asked Benjamin seriously. Dubois and Giordano looked at each other. By the time they turned back to Benjamin, it seemed their mind had been made up. Did they have some sort of silent communication method?“Those bags look heavy, Master Zepelii” began Giordano. “And you as well, Master Benjamin. Permit us to assist you in handling them?” asked Dubois. John
My World Domination System Chapter 72 - Van Tech
“Of course, Master Benjamin. Remember. We assess the worth of the information before selling. I dare say, we may be getting more out of this than you are.” I’m not so sure about that, thought Benjamin, who was checking if the name had any relation to him or his sister.“Well?” asked Benjamin. “Master Ollivander was a noteworthy man who climbed to the position of the Elite Four Most Influential Families of this city through his innovation and grit in developing the technology to microchip VR games out of their headsets.Unlike the rest of the Elite Four, his fortune was strictly first-generation and his company, VanderTech, was worth $20 billion when he was still alive.”“VanderTech?! I remember seeing their consoles on E3 when I was four years old! The high-powered devices were as small as buttons!” whistled Johnny.“Is it really the same person?” Benjamin, on the other hand, did not have such childhood luxuries of travelling abroad for gaming events. They didn’t even have a TV talk

“Where we off to, Boss?” asked Johnny.Benjamin downshifted into second gear to blow past a red light. He had been getting much better than his first drive-through, and with the help of a few YouTube videos here and there, soon understood how to use the paddle shifters by the steering wheel.“I’m going to bed” replied Benjamin. “As for you, work resumes by 08;00 AM tomorrow.”“Where?” asked Johnny. “What are you, blind and deaf? We have an office!” stressed Benjamin.“NOT THAT. I meant where am I going to sleep?” asked Johnny.Benjamin braked hard to take a left turn. “What are you talking about? Where have you been sleeping up until now?!” he asked.“On the streets”“Excuse Me? Why?!”“It’s not much of a statement If I’m going back to some fancy hotel with a luxury dinner, now is it?” reasoned Johnny.“What the fuck is wrong with you?”“There are people in third world countries, that are struggling to live and holding on to whatever morsel of life they have left because of these con

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,
