"World Conquest is achieved when all leaders on earth look to the Conqueror favourably, and await his next directive. Every directive on earth, whether of a city, state or country, works to favour him or his intentions. Every currency pair flows through his several personal accounts throughout the globe. The state of each country represents his intentions. He has a supreme say in every decision on the planet. Only then, has he achieved World Conquest"It was an interesting and entertaining concept to hear at least. The way you'd think about what perpetual motion would look like, or free energy across the globe, or World peace everywhere. But factually, it held as much credibility to thought as a children's bedtime story. "That's Impossible," I said. Payton was silent. Seemed he didn't have much to contribute to an argument. But something about that frightened me. "Payton?" "Yes, Master?" "Has anyone, ever, achieved this World Conquest?" Payton went silent once more. Benjamin could
Benjamin parked his Mclaren on the Street to witness the Obsidian Towers. It was on the next street, seated between two short unimpressive complexes. "I read that it's the third tallest building downtown. Talk about a show-off" said Johnny. Benjamin nodded. Everything about the tower was pitch dark asides the clear glass windows. Looking from afar, it resembled a long rectangle with two hexagons rotating on it's top. When they drew even closer, they could see the black surface was not matte, but an impressive glossy finish that reflected the city in some sort of dark mirror dimension. "You have to admit. It's kinda fitting for a family called The Blacks'" said Johnny, whistling. Cylindrical Columns littered the ground floor of the tower, making a small mini parking lot. The entrance was further in, serviced by a normal looking glass door. "Welcome To The Obsidian" said a young woman seated on a desk by the entrance. Benjamin looked around, confused. The place looked bigger out
"I would like to thank the board for gracing us with their time and presence the morning. The topic of discussion is a complete acqusition of MedHill by Ivy Corp" started Benjamin. "An acquisition?" asked one of them. "I thought we were here to discuss a buy-in" Benjamin looked to Amber, who shook her head. 'It's a negotiating ploy, don't fall for it.' "No, this meeting is for a total acquisition of Medhill," said Benjamin unflinching. "Apologies if there's been a mistake in your communique" "And who says we're looking to sell?" asked another. "Johnny" whispered Benjamin. Johnny moved over a tall stack of printed documents. Benjamin tossed it to everyone seated at the table. "That. It's your finance reports for the last half decade" said Benjamin. "How did you get this? Did Amber-" "Ms Amber is a mere doctor, Sir, and has nothing to do with it. Never mind my methods. I have my way of getting around" uttered Benjamin confidently. "And what does this prove?" "That you've been
Benjamin spread his hands on the smooth surface of the sprucewood. "So what's it going to be?" he asked the board members. The president of the board shifted in his seat. "And what happens to us?" he asked. "What's the ownership take?" asked another board member.Amber stepped in here. "Mr Bologna, it's a complete buyout. Naturally, that means all your shares as well" she said, referring to the man with authority. "Completely cutting us off, eh?" asked President Bologna."There is an opportunity for you to buy back," explained Amber. President Bologna scoffed. "Pretty slick Amber. You want to keep the shares and then get new money from us as investors, is that it?" Amber remained silent and clasped her hands. "Of course, it's not like I'm being vague about any of this in the first place," she said finally."What's the name of the parent company?" asked President Bologna. "Ivy Corp" replied Benjamin. "You would be the first to become our shareholders. And with promising rates to
[Notice: Bow Down To Me Lvl 2 Unlocked!][Notice: DP: 150] [Notice: Bow Down To Me Lvl 2: Expanded Target Number to 10 people][Cool down time of 2 minutes] Benjamin Rose from the table. It would do. "Benjamin?" called out Amber. Benjamin first used [Appraisal.] "Mr Longbottom, Mr Tavarish, Mr Umar, Mr Flinstone, Mr O'Malley, Mr Lee, Mr Pascal, Mr Aaron" recited Benjamin, reading their names off his screen. The board members looked at themselves dumbfounded. "How did you-" "You will sell all your shares to me" commanded Benjamin. He left out President Bologna, because [Bow Down To Me] would not work on the leader of the board. Benjamin waited for the response. "Mr Black, I'm afraid our business is concluded. There is no need to become unsightly-" started Bologna."Alright," said someone in their midst.Bologna turned back in shock. It was Mr Lee, a bony southeast Asian man who had spoken. "Okay", now it was Mr Tavarish. "Excuse me, what the hell are you thinking?" questioned B
"So you blackmailed them?" asked Amber. Benjamin turned back. "Yeah, what's the problem?" he asked. Amber stepped closer to him. He knew she was trying to make a serious point, but the smell of her hair was intoxicating. A cool summer scent washed over Benjamin. "Are you really asking that? Since when did we turn to criminals, Boss?" "Relax. We're nothing of the sort." Replied Benjamin. "I don't think so. Not if several blackmails have anything to say about it." "Damn it you're the one that stressed we get this place, Amber!" "Not through illicit means, of course. What happens if one of them decides to get vindictive? That could totally screw us!""I promise that's not going to happen" "How could you possibly promise that?" Benjamin smiled. "You forget. I do have a few strings in high places" Amber cooled off a little bit. That was right. Benjamin must have had a pull somewhere in this side of the world to be where he is today. She scoffed. "I'm just worried," she said. Be
"Ohhh man" he muttered. "You did all these yourself?" Amber nodded proudly. "Geez. I'm - Holy Shit. You didn't have to" replied Benjamin. Amber raised two fingers. "A. Don't get too sentimental on me now. It's still your money""Hahaha" "B. You deserve it. A lot more than some other assholes I know" she finished. Benjamin walked around the office, still taking everything in. It was a few minutes since the office was indeed a spacious design. "So, what's the general idea?" Amber asked. It was beautiful. Not even in his wildest dreams did Benjamin believe he would have an office even relatively resembling this one. In fact, he soon fought over whether the whole experience was indeed a dream. "This is crazy" he replied. Amber blushed. "Well, I'll take that as a compliment. Well then, I best leave you to it.""What?" "You did have some work to attend to, right? There's a new computer on the desk with your credentials; Your name and your sister's last name are the passwords. It's a
"Sir, what just happened? He barely touched those materials" said one of them. "Yeah. Does that man really know what he's doing?" said another."If you know what's good for you, you'll shut the hell up and keep watching." said the middle-aged engineer."But, Sir-" "I can't quite explain it myself, but ever since Mr Kirkland got directly close the the QA department, none of our rockets have ever had a misfire. I'll admit it. Every part of our last launch that went perfectly was inspected by Mr Kirkland!" "Impossible!" "If you don't believe me, just keep watching". "Is that all?" asked Kirkland. "Uh- Yes, Sir. Thank you very much," they replied in Unison. "Alright," said Kirkland."Well - There is one more thing, Sir" It was one of the younger engineers. His confusion on Mr Kirkland's abilities had clouded his sense of judgement. He wanted to further test him. The Older engineer tried to put a stop to it. "You fool, what are you doing-" he whispered."What? The missile guidance s
