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
Pushing and shoving others aside, Rex successfully moved across the dance floor, ignoring the scantily-clad women who tried to rub up against him, their intentions obvious. As he approached the bar, he could feel the heat of the bodies pressed against him, the smell of sweat and alcohol in the air. Finally, he made his way to the bar, where he took a seat, knowing fully well that if he wanted information, the bar was the place to be.The bartender, a man with multiple piercings and a tattoo of a skull on his arms, looked up at him, his expression unreadable. "What can I get for you?" he asked with a hint of annoyance.Rex even with the mask smirked, "A bottle of Long Island Iced Tea, dawg," he replied, his voice dripping with arrogance. The bartender rolled his eyes but grabbed a bottle of the alcoholic drink and started pouring it into a glass. As he did so, he glanced at Rex, taking in his size and muscular build. "You sure you can handle all that?" he asked, his voice laced with sa
"Is Sir Davis training new guards? I thought his company focused on scientific research," Rex inquired, his expression reflecting confusion. His understanding of Sir Davis was that the company primarily centered around scientific endeavors with minimal diversification.Hearing his words, the woman chuckled, elegantly brushing aside some hair strands with her fingers before responding, "What you perceive is precisely what Sir Davis intends you or everyone to perceive; everything he does is a masquerade.""A masquerade?""Yes, a masquerade. Sir Davis's ambitions are extensive, to a degree where no one truly comprehends his objectives. As far as I am aware, he has been taking in numerous orphans from the streets into his company, and they simply vanish without a trace. Not only them but from what I heard, he has also been taking a lot of people with cancers in their bodies, mostly those without backgrounds.""Surely the government should have noticed these anomalies. Why haven't they tak
With the growth of science, humans finally decided to venture into the research regarding cancer.With this, there have been few theories regarding the possibility of cancer extending the human lifespan. One theory suggests that cancer cells when they divide uncontrollably, may inadvertently stimulate the regeneration of healthy cells in the body. This process, known as "cancer cell senescence," could potentially prolong the lifespan of an individual, but it has yet to be proven true.Another theory posits that cancer cells may possess certain "immortalizing" properties that allow them to evade the aging process. These cells may be able to maintain their youthful characteristics for longer periods of time, potentially leading to a longer lifespan for the individual.Now, imagine a world leader with immense wealth, fame, and power; what truly unnerves them is the specter of aging and mortality. Now picture if Davis were to proclaim a remarkable breakthrough in his research, suggesting
