13_The head needs to know of this!__This is bad, am I hallucinating? Impossible, how come? He... He is just a poor boy... How come? Just how come?_ Elder Mike's mind was in turmoil as he watched Rex stand beside his grandfather. He couldn't comprehend how this person he thought was a poor boy suddenly turned out to have such a powerful identity. This made his thoughts a jumbled mess of confusion and disbelief. As others around him clapped, he remained still, unable to join in due to his overwhelming emotions."Sir Mike? Sir Mike?" Elder Mike was suddenly brought back to reality by a servant tapping him on the shoulder. He had been lost in his thoughts, unable to process the revelation of Rex's identity. The servant's presence snapped him out of his daze, and he turned around to face them."What is it?" Elder Mike subconsciously blurts out in a loud voice which attracts others' attention.Realising he had spoken out loud, Elder Mike quickly regained his composure and lowered his voi
Chapter 14In a luxurious but simple and understated room with four armchairs upholstered in a deep blue velvet. A low glass table sits in the centre of the room with the four chairs surrounding it, its surface polished to a high sheen. On the table were three glasses of blue wine and a bottle of the same wine.While the walls were painted a soft cream colour, and the floor was covered in a plush, deep-pile rug. There were no windows in the room, but a single dim light fixture hung from the ceiling, casting a warm and cosy glow in it.Three people could be seen sitting comfortably on the chairs. They are Rex, Vincenzo and Dolittle. This is a quiet VIP section of the hall that Rex leads them to for the talk."Okay, now that we are here, Rex, care to repeat your question for Dolittle to understand it?" Sir Vincenzo let out."I would like to purchase some information and discuss potential business cooperation with you," Rex said calmly, concealing his emotions behind a facade. He underst
Chapter 15Deeper into the night, laying on his king-size bed, Rex couldn't sleep as he kept tossing around while trying to come up with a nice way to end the mission fast._This involves assassination and that's something I am not too good at, should I ask Levi? He is good at writing assassin novels, maybe he might have one or two pieces of advice for me. No, he is also in the contest and it will be bad if he tries sniffing around for what I'm up to. Then how should I go about it? The information provided to me is a bit outdated, I will need to get new ones.Mmm, it will be nice if Davis Reiner is recruiting people, I can find a way to impersonate someone and sneak in. But before I start this, I have three things to accomplish tomorrow morning, firstly, buying my own house, secondly getting a top grade nanny to take care of kid sister and lastly, finding that bitchy girl with a bitchy attitude and giving her, her damn money for the phone._ With such thoughts in his mind, Rex dozed
Chapter 16Master Builder Estate Firm.Located in the city of Eden Land, a journey that will take 25 minutes from the Lathwyn family street. Master Builder Estate Firm popularly called M.B.E.F could be said to be the best estate firm located in the country of Greenland, this has been the only estate company that was capable of providing most nobles and bigwigs with houses that perfectly fit their tastes. Over the years they have slowly expanded their wings towards other cities all thanks to the Lathwyn family.Most people do not know that the Lathwyn family were the true owners of this establishment since the Lathwyn family didn't make it public and in fact kept their relationship neutral, making only the bosses to be aware.===Jeffrey Medici, the only child of Elder Mike, has been working here for over two years and today could be said to be his happiest day ever.Enduring two years of unwavering commitment, sequestered within his office, navigating myriad documents, all the while p
Chapter 17"Someone as poor as you? You think we sell huts here? Trust me when I say this but not even your great great grandfather can afford this place. In fact, he isn't worth being a janitor here.""Oh really? What if I say I can turn you into a janitor with a flip of my finger?" Rex retorts coldly, he feels like he should teach this Medici lineage some lessons to lessen their feelings of pride. It makes him wonder if being foolishly arrogant was part of the family's hidden talents. Meanwhile, Jeffrey was stunned by Rex's words. Observing a face that once bowed and avoided direct eye contact now looking back at him without a hint of fear made him realise this wasn't the same Rex he knew.Months earlier, when he visited his father, he had witnessed firsthand how timid and subservient Rex was, smiling even in the face of insults and curses simply to please Silvia. This memory had stirred within him a deep desire to throttle Rex to death.Jeffrey believes that a man should be the mo
The realisation of him messing with a Lathwyn shocked him making him subconsciously remember the words Rex said firstly, (Oh really? What if I say I can turn you into a janitor with a flip of my finger?)It turns out he truly has the power to turn him into a janitor, rendering all his hard work to go in vain!_Shit, I fucked up!_ Jeffrey grimaced inwardly as he nervously looked at the smiling Rex with his emotions in total disarray.Meanwhile, the fat CEO who seems to have enjoyed his life from the income he earns was standing next to Rex with a fawning expression, not knowing of the event that took place between Rex and Jeffrey. He knew this young master before he had the power to remove him from his position as a CEO so he knew better not to misbehave. "Wouldn't you take me inside?" Rex asked, reminding the CEO that they both were outside."Ah, sorry, my apologies young master Rex, please, this way." He said, gesturing for Rex to follow him towards the office. As the CEO led the
Upon hearing the words, Rex calmly inquired, "Can I see some pictures of the Greenwich Manor?""Of course," McDonald replied, extracting photos from the files and handing them to Rex. "Here you go."Perusing the images, Rex admired the house's decor for some minutes, it suited his taste and without delay, he asked, "What is the cost of this property?"Upon hearing the question, McDonald cleared his throat before answering, "Young Master Rex, factoring in a 30% discount for your affiliation with Lathwyn and an additional 5% for your shareholding, the total price will be $475 million."Cough ~Cough ~Cough ~Upon hearing those words, Jeffrey let out a sharp cough of astonishment._That's approximately 80% of the Medici family's total net worth! And that's including their shops, cars, and other private assets! Just buying a mere house like this will send the Medici crashing down, drain of all liquidity and assets, never to rise again and yet here's someone buying it!_ "Hey Jeffrey, you
Exiting the firm, Rex straightened his collar, pondering while gazing at the early morning sun. "I've sorted the housing issue, and Jeffrey will assist with moving Isabella to the new house and finding a maid. If he runs into that troublesome woman, he can contact me, and I'll sort out the money for her phone. Next up, a visit to Lusty Strippers Club. According to the information from Vincenzo Scarlotti, someone there might facilitate getting closer to the scientist Davis. Sigh, what a perilous mission, but it's worth it. I'd rather risk everything than face financial ruin and mockery again," Rex thought with a wry smile.Rex, although cared so much for his sister was still convinced about leaving his stepsister in Jeffrey's care, certain that Jeffrey wouldn't dare cross him after the substantial offer and minimal threat. Besides, they both share some things in common, Jeffrey wants to be the richest without relying on his family and so does Rex. This alone makes them set aside thei
