“As I expected. After dealing with those scammers, no scammers dared to scam me again.”“At least, this will prevent me from having to deal with them again in the future.”Adam knew that those popular accounts on social media platforms would have to deal with such headaches every day. It was to the point that even the real private messages would be ignored due to the influx of scammers spamming their private inboxes.And as one of the most popular social media influencers in the internet world, Adam had indeed suffered from that. But since he had already resolved it after exposing those scammers, he no longer had such problems anymore.And the reason why Adam bothered to do that was all due to him being bored as well as to make his life easier in the future. It was quite annoying to see that his private message inbox was filled with scammers.After all, Adam needed to check it one by one to see the genuine foundations that would help him promote the movement against bullying.Adam did
Seeing that Amelia agreed with his suggestion of going on a date, Adam delightfully replied to her message.\Adam: I am free right now. Do you want to hang out now? I’ll pay.\Although Adam mentioned him paying for everything on the date, Amelia didn’t care much about it since both of them were rich. But Adam’s gesture had indeed moved her heart since no one had asked her out on a date before.After all, even when someone did ask her out on a date, Amelia would always refuse since no man had caught her interest until Adam showed up.Only Adam was worthy to become her husband.\Amelia: When do we meet up then?\In response to Amelia’s question, Adam replied,\Adam: I will just pick you up at your house. Brb.\Without waiting for Amelia’s response, Adam started getting ready for his outdoor outfit.“Since this is my first date, I’ll have to do my best then. Although, wearing a casual civilian outfit should be the best option since it's not like Amelia and I would go to a five-star resta
When his car arrived at Amelia’s house, Adam saw Amelia outside.With a casual white dress, Amelia wore white heels, exposing her feet. She wore a sling purse with golden chains and a branded logo on it. On her golden blonde hair, she wore a jade hairpin which Adam could guess was pre-installed with a GPS tracker.‘It seems that Amelia has made some preparations even if she was kidnapped. Not that she has anything to worry about since I am the Ultimate Bodyguard and no one can kidnap her in front of me.’‘Unless someone used thermal weapons and explosives, I am confident that I can defend and protect Amelia. With that being said, I had also equipped myself with a GPS tracker so that Satania could track me down as well.’Not only Amelia, but Adam was even more well-prepared than her. But Adam could guess that the reason why Amelia didn’t bring any bodyguards and didn’t make too many preparations was due to his presence.Otherwise, if it was only Amelia going out with her friends, Ameli
It didn’t take long for Adam’s car to arrive at the arcade. Adam could notice that his bodyguards were staying in outdoor chairs and tables at a nearby cafe, acting like a bunch of civilians.His bodyguards were wearing casual civilian clothes but hidden in their jackets were self-defense weapons. They didn’t equip any lethal weapons since they didn’t need it much considering they excelled in close combat the most.The range weapons were left to be dealt by Adam’s snipers who had already positioned themselves at the top of the buildings near the arcade.Adam had recognized his bodyguards and snipers as he peered outside the car’s window.After the car arrived, the chauffeur went out first and opened the car door for Adam and Amelia.After leaving the car, the chauffeur went inside again and closed the car windows. Payton stayed there so if Adam and Amelia were in trouble, he could let them enter the car as fast as possible and drive out of danger.Today was an important day for Adam a
Hearing Adam’s question, Amelia immediately responded, “I want to try first. I have a feeling that you will do well in everything you do so I should try it first before I lose my gaming spirit after witnessing you demolish the game.”In response to Amelia’s words, Adam could only wryly smile as he knew that Amelia was indeed telling the truth.With his arsenal of Ultimate Talents, even if he didn’t have the Ultimate Gamer talent, that didn’t mean that he would fail in playing games. At least, his other Ultimate Talents had allowed him to have better power, physique, and intelligence than the average human which allowed him to excel in anything physical and intellectual activities.Of course, his greatest weakness was anything that was purely knowledge-based. Unless he studied in advance, his lack of Ultimate Talent in a certain field would cause him to fail badly in it.For example, if he didn’t have any Ultimate Doctor talent or studied medicine beforehand, it was impossible for him
After two hours, Adam and Amelia spent all of their time playing in the arcade. Whenever their tokens would run out, that wasn’t a problem for someone as rich as them.Not to mention, they had accumulated a lot of tickets due to playing a lot of games in the arcade as well as the excellence of Adam’s gaming skills. After all, most of the games in the arcade were mostly a game of skill instead of a game of chance.Whether it was playing redemption games, sports games, carnival games, or electro-mechanical games, the only thing that Adam and Amelia hadn’t tried yet was the merchandiser game in the arcade. It was none other than the claw crane game and Adam and Amelia hadn’t played it yet due to deciding to play it last.After all, aside from most of the games in the arcade games which were a game of skills, the claw crane game was mostly a hybrid of a game of skills and a game of chances. Not to mention, the operator of the arcade could rig the claw strength, and the drop skill of the c
The code alpha in Adam’s words didn’t have any other planned meaning with Satania. It was none other than just to make himself feel that his actions were cool.But that wasn’t a problem. It was unlikely for Satania to not guess Adam’s plan especially when she was an artificial intelligence whose calculation power was backed up by a supercomputer.So after guessing about Adam’s plan and his current action, Satania had already guessed that Adam had planned for her to hack the claw machine and make it so that Adam’s gameplay would be in his favor.Adam’s gameplay time was decreasing as seconds passed by so Satania no longer hesitated and hacked the claw machine. To not make it look suspicious, Satania didn’t increase the number of tries that Adam would have nor increase his game time.Satania only hacked the claw machine to improve the claw strength and drop skill of the claw machine to the maximum value. But that still didn’t mean that Adam could guarantee himself that he could win.Aft
After picking up the bunny plush toy from the claw machine, Adam gave it to Amelia who was looking expectantly at his side.“Thank you, Adam.”Amelia’s soft yet alluring voice thanked Adam as she excitedly hugged the bunny plush toy.It wasn’t that she couldn’t buy this bunny plush toy with her money. But she enjoyed and cherished the memories she experienced with Adam. The bunny plush toy was nothing but a memento of her first date with Adam in the arcade.She didn’t lack money, but she did lack happiness. Her first date with Adam had brought her satisfaction and joy. She didn’t expect that she was lucky enough to have such a caring boyfriend.For someone like her who was the daughter of a top conglomerate, the most ideal decision was to give her hand in marriage to another heir of a top conglomerate for the sake of cooperation and such.Amelia had already known about and she had braced herself for whatever fiance she would have in her life. Her future was quite bleak from her expect
Hearing the question from the chairman of Zeria, Adam was about to reply, but he heard a notification sound in his mind which halted his words.-Ding![Talent achievement task triggered.][Achievement condition: Negotiate with the chairman of Zeria and obtain 10% more shares from the chairman of Zeria, eventually replacing the chairman of Zeria and becoming the new chairman.][Awarded talent: Ultimate Businessman]Adam had already grown accustomed to the sudden appearance of system screens so he had also developed the skill to read the text displayed on the system screen as fast as possible.To give himself more time, Adam activated his bullet time skill just to increase his perception of time.That gave Adam enough time to read the contents of the system screen and knowing that it was about another talent achievement task, he was overjoyed!As for the talent achievement task forcing him to take 10% shares from the chairman of Zeria, Adam didn’t care much about it.After all, he didn’
Unlike most conglomerates in Japan and Korea which were called Zaibutsus and Chaebols respectively, the conglomerates in America were mostly public conglomerates.At least, the Zeria was such a public conglomerate and because of that, it wasn’t expected for the chairman to hoard the position for his family.Well, the shareholders wouldn’t mind it if it's someone from the chairman’s family line again if the successor was competent such as what happened in the Savannah Conglomerate.The shareholders such as the fourth shareholder knew of the notoriety of the granddaughter of the chairman. Surprisingly, in the family line of the chairman, only the chairman was excellent at business yet even the chairman’s sons and daughters weren’t suited to become chairman.The fact that the chairman chose her granddaughter meant that she was the best option he had yet that granddaughter of his was barely capable of leading Zeria.At least, they knew that if the granddaughter of the chairman became the
After saying his introduction, the chairman spoke again, “I am already getting old. Someone needed to inherit Zeria before I die so I have decided that my granddaughter will inherit the chairman position for Zeria.”“Do any of you disagree or not?”Although the chairman possessed 51% shares of the conglomerate and had voting rights in his shares, there were still some restrictions imposed on him as the majority shareholder.At least, his decision could be waived if at least 45% of the voting shares were used to go against his opinion. However, that restriction would only work on crucial decisions that would change the company as a whole and such a situation was one right now.After all, the change of chairman in the company would mean that the company would change as a whole. If the chairman that had inherited the former chairman’s shares was an incompetent person, then the value of the company would lower and the company would be ruined in that person’s hands.As if everyone had come
When the pair of old men and a young woman entered the meeting room, Adam noticed that the rest of the members in the meeting room seemed to have become more serious.‘Judging from the expressions of those shareholders, that old man should be the biggest shareholder in Zeria, aka the chairman of Zeria.’‘As for that woman, she is either the chairman’s secretary or she a relative of that old man?’When Adam thought of the latter, he felt that he seemed to have guessed the reason for holding the shareholders’ meeting.Of course, that was assuming the shareholders’ meeting wasn’t held to reprimand him for his absence from the conglomerate.The old man sat on the chair while the young woman stood behind him at the side.From the sitting position, Adam was sitting near the old man and the young kid from before. Their sitting position was nearest to each other as they both held the highest shares in Zeria compared to the rest of the shareholders.The old man has white hair due to old age as
Adam saw some middle-aged men and even old men come out of their luxury cars. But the one that attracted his attention the most was a young kid who seemed to be a ten-year-old.But even that kid was accompanied by a neatly dressed butler as well as several bodyguards.‘That kid must be the son of a big shot. Or he is probably one of the shareholders in Zeria and his shares must have been inherited from his father or grandfather.’When Adam thought of that, he didn’t care much since he was confident that all of them were human and he could easily kill them with just a bullet.He could even deal with hundreds of well-trained and well-armed bodyguards let alone just a bunch of them. His background and money might not be the greatest, but Adam was very confident in his combat skills so he didn’t have anything to worry about.He could even defeat Ultimate Humans who were said to be the pinnacle of human limit let alone normal humans like them.With that confidence in mind, Adam entered the
Spending his time in his underground laboratory, Adam barely had any breakthroughs in his research for the recipe for the beautification pill. However, it had only been several hours since he started and he knew that such a difficult task couldn’t be completed in just a day.But since it was already his bedtime and he had to deal with the shareholders’ meeting in Zeria tomorrow, Adam decided to end his research and continue after he was free. Anyway, he wasn’t desperate to create the beautification pill and he had plenty of time to create it.With that in mind, Adam went to his room and slept.When several hours had passed and it was already morning, Adam woke up on his bed and did his daily morning routine. Having remembered his crucial attendance at the shareholders’ meeting as it might possibly decide his future in Zeria, Adam immediately dressed up for the occasion as he wore a business suit.After finishing his preparations, Adam who didn’t want his suit to be dirtied immediately
“Boss, I apologize. The chairman of Zeria didn’t say anything about the reason for the shareholders' meeting. The chairman only said that attendance is obligatory.”Hearing that even his subordinate didn’t know anything about it, Adam could only sigh and wish that the reason wasn’t about himself. Otherwise, he would be forced to use his justice fist to control the chairman of Zeria so that he could take over Zeria.After all, he needed Zeria’s backing if he wanted to have the background to go against the military and government as well as support his father-in-law.Knowing that his subordinate couldn’t offer any more useful information, Adam only sighed and said, “Just keep an eye out for any suspicious actions in Zeria. Report to me if there is. Also, when will the shareholders’ meeting be held?”Hearing his boss’ question, Adam’s subordinate replied, “It will be held tomorrow at one in the afternoon. The meeting’s location will be in Zeria’s main headquarters on the top floor.”Afte
When Adam heard the report from his subordinate, he became curious about why Zeria had held a shareholders' meeting.“Did you inquire about the reason for the shareholders meeting held by the chairman of Zeria?”Adam was so busy dealing with the military and the UH Foundation that he barely had any time to even hold a public conference and announce his ownership of the second-biggest share in Zeria.After all, Adam was the second biggest shareholder of Zeria and he still had yet to officially announce his ownership of the second biggest shares. Although it was already transferred under his name, Zeria was a public conglomerate after all and they would hold a press conference whenever a new shareholder took place.It was for the sake of credibility and fanfare. Zeria made themselves known to the public because of that.So, Adam was already contacted by the chairman of Zeria regarding his upcoming press conference long before and Adam had put that on hold due to how busy he was. It was
“Yeah, yeah, I don’t care about those. I better get my end of the deal after I finish a few more missions.”Although Adam didn’t care about it, he still had to act as if he cared about it so that the military wouldn’t be suspicious that he had other motives for helping them.When Trevor heard Adam’s words, he nodded his head, “I will tell that to my higher-ups.”Receiving Trevor’s reply, Adam knew that Trevor was only a sergeant and he didn’t have much power in the military compared to those generals. Trevor was only doing his job so Adam didn’t blame him for it.“Are there any missions or not?”Knowing that the missions of the military had a high chance of triggering a talent achievement task, Adam asked Trevor about it out of curiosity.In response, he saw Trevor shook his head and answered, “As for now, there aren’t any missions related to the Ultimate Humans or the UH Foundation.”After receiving Trevor’s response, Adam didn’t bother about it anymore and left the military camp but
