Lukas sighed, he just didn't know why he does things like this when he could just ignore them. He then glanced at the girl: "Where is your mother?" "She's dead, she's staying at the hospital." The girl responded immediately. Lukas nodded his head: "Which hospital?" "The one at the south of the city, Victoria General Hospital." The girl answered. Truthfully, she feels uncomfortable to have sold herself, but she couldn't do anything due to her circumstances. "Oh, right, what's your name and how old are you?" Lukas asked. "I'm Kirsten, Kirsten Susanne, 17 years old," Kirsten replied. Lukas nodded his head, then, he changed his direction and headed south. He then glanced at her, she was wearing quite rather old clothes, there are even visible holes and tearings in them. Her shoes are quite worn out, the colors had faded a long time ago. After a while of pondering, Lukas sighed: "Let's pick some new things for you to wear." "Kirsten looked at him and asked: "Why?" "At the very
After a few minutes of waiting, the manager ran back."Sir, the management agreed." She replied with a slight discomfort, pausing for a bit, she added "On the condition that the amount of purchase reaches at least a million cronz."Truthfully, for a massive brand such as theirs, selling anything above 30% is a profit, after all, the labor and material costs of each of their product is roughly 5% to 30%, which means, they have more than 200% profit every time they sell anything.Lukas hearing this lightly chuckled "Getting greedy I see."He then looked at Kirsten once more.[Kirsten SusanneAge: 17Status: Healthy.Description: A kind of innocent soul, loyal and fateful to her own oath.]Lukas nodded his head, he looked at the two, Siwa and Aryu: "Bring all of the things available that fit her size in this store, dresses, clothes, shorts, shoes, also..." He looked at Kirsten and smiled: "Pick all of the bags that will suit her."Siwa and Aryu were speechless before they looked at their
After a few minutes, Lukas and Kirsten arrived at the hospital. As soon as the two of them got down, Lukas urged Kirsten: "Lead me to where your mother is being kept." "Un." Kirsten nodded her head and started walking in followed by Lukas. After a few minutes more, Lukas and Kirsten arrived in front of a door. "D*mn it, what do we do now?" The voice of a man sounded inside the room. "They are keeping her body, but we need to pay the hospital for the fees and even the procedure." The voice of a woman sounded. "We loaned so much to her, yet, she has to die, now, we even need to pay for her funeral too? Isn't this just stupid?" The voice sounded again. Soon, many more voices joined the conversation. Meanwhile, hearing them chatter amongst themselves, Lukas frowned and looked at Kirsten. Kirsten is trembling with her hand tightly clenched into a fist. Tears threatened to fall from her eyes as she glared at the door. She couldn't really believe it herself, they are her relatives
Lukas and Kirsten had finished the procedures long ago and waited for a couple of hours. Soon, a white jade urn was delivered to them. Kirsten took it and the two went out. As soon as they left the hospital, Kirsten and Lukas heard a commotion not far away from the hospital. Kirsten's face darkened, while Lukas couldn't help but chuckle. "They are too shameless, it's really disgusting..." She couldn't help but utter, tears rolled out of her eyes: "This is the last day I'll look at them as my relatives." Lukas wiped her tears and smiled: "Sometimes, cutting off ties is the best path one can take, after all, not everyone is your friend nor your enemy." Kirsten nodded her, she then looked at Lukas: "You sound like you've cut lots of people?" Lukas smiled: "You know, I was in a state of my life... where I thought I had no more path... but since you're seeing me here, I guess it wasn't really that much, huh?" "None of those that I had thought were my friends even called or noticed
Lukas and Kirsten arrived at the mansion, there, Jackal is already waiting with three of his henchmen.Also, a line of five maids and a head maid are there as well.Seeing this, Kirsten was quite astounded.Lukas then introduced: "This is Kirsten, Jackal, I'll trust her safety to you."Jackal nodded without any question: "As you wish."Lukas then looked at the maids and then at the head maid, seeing her dress is different from the others, Lukas immediately figured it out: "I leave taking care of her to you.""Yes, master." The head maid bowed and responded."T-this... I know how to take care of myself." She said embarrassingly.Lukas then sighed: "You do know what you are to me right? After all, you're the one that proclaimed it yourself."Hearing this, Kirsten blushed and nodded her head.Lukas thought that this will push her slightly, but it seemed to have the opposite effect."If... if you keep doing this... I don't really know how much to feel." Kirsten uttered.Lukas sighed and n
Lukas became quite busy, three more weeks until his operation officially starts.It's the last day before he goes to the other world.He felt quite confused as well for some reason, he had used so much of his allowance just within a week, yet, he still has 80,000,000+ cronz left.But then, there are three more weeks left.Currently, he's making his way to the Astral Car Services with Wulan.Lukas then suddenly said: "I'll be going out with a few friends for a week, so I won't be able to go with you then."Wulan then asked: "Out of the city?""Un." Lukas nodded his head: "Well, it all depends, a few days or a week I guess.""Is it your friend that lent you your car?" Wulan asked."Yeah, and a few others." Lukas answered."Okay, then, see you in a few days." Wulan replied nonchalantly.Lukas nodded his head, and he then started the engine once more."Right, if you ever thought of something, how about sharing it with me? I'll be sure to give you a satisfactory share." Wulan said with a s
As he arrived at the other world, he was greeted immediately."Master." Both Yana and Garun smiled at him.Lukas nodded his head: "Oh right, from now on, I should be called Lukas Zymeth.""As you wish." They both nodded.Lukas looked around: "Is there anything I need to know?""Many more tribes from the surrounding started to gather, we have around 40,000 people in total." Yana reported.Lukas looked at them speechlessly: "That many already?"Yana nodded her head: "Yes."Lukas pondered for a bit before asking: "what kind of things do I need to do in order to gather resources?"Yana immediately answered: "By mining, hunting, and gathering.""The most profitable for you right now will be for hunting monsters." "Other than the materials from a monster's body, a monster has this thing inside their body called the cores, a monster's core would cost at least 10,000 cronz from master's world."Hearing this, Lukas was quite astounded: "Then, isn't it going to be profitable?"Yana nodded her
Lukas sighed seeing Yana persistingly not disclosing any further information.But then, Yana smiled: "Master, everything will slowly unfold as you slowly inherit your company."Hearing this, Lukas could only give up: "Then, I'll wait for it."Yana smiled and nodded approvingly at him: "Master, as a given bonus for how you've been quite accepting, this world is going to be your foothold."Lukas nodded and led the two out of the mansion.Truthfully, the word foothold is still vague, too general.Lukas looked outside and couldn't help but be awed at the sight of 40,000+ people lining up.Seeing Yana and Garun, then shifting their gaze to a dragon-armored person in front of them.All of them immediately bowed.To them, this person gave them salvation, almost every one of them was bound to die from starvation or even dying from monsters.Lukas stood up in front of them: "From now on, all the people here will be under my wing, if anyone does not agree with it, you are all free to go."Lukas
