CHAPTER 18
The boardroom’s tension crackled with electricity as Mrs Josephine’s fingers flew across her tablet, drafting the press release with surgical precision.“Austra CEO Micheal Robinson Hospitalized after Brutal Attack. Lockwood Deal sparks Retaliation?” Mike read the headline out loud with his throat tightened and croaked, “This is…aggressive.”Mr Liam didn’t blink. He just stared blankly at the tablet and muttered, “Perception is everything. Bio-tech wants to scare investors? We will give them a martyr instead.” He tapped his temple and continued briskly, “Right now, Stewart is celebrating. Let him get reckless.”Carter leaned in and asked with his face scrunched up in worry, “The press will swarm the hospital. How do we—?”“Private wing. There will be no visitors,” Mrs Josephine cuts in abruptly without peeling her eyes from her tablet. “I have already called in for favors and the nurses will confirm you are in a critical condition.” Her smile was thin, with her chin barely breaking a
CHAPTER 17
Mike stared at the screen in confusion for he could remember clearly the rules that no task will be awarded while the coins haven’t been withdrawn and spent, but there it was, still shining brightly in neon green—[The Austra wealth system….][Host: Micheal Robinson…..][Level: 5….][Task: Survive Bio-tech’s retaliation….][Status: Ongoing …][Reward: 500 coins.][Coins: 400.]“Give me a minute Carter,” he nodded at his PA, “I need sometime to my self right now.”Carter nodded and left, leaving him deep in his own thoughts. He had finally gotten the Lockwood contract. A mega contract that he had been ripped from at Bio-tech, now it’s his, it’s Austra’s. Now, the whole country knows of his company’s existence…of Austra, and like Mr Austin had said, they are now bound to get wanted and unwanted attention and most importantly, Bio-tech’s huge loss splattered all over the papers…making it more interesting.And now, the system wants him to survive Bio-tech’s retaliation? How exactly
CHAPTER 16
But getting the Lockwood contract wasn’t as easy as he had thought…to get through to the investors was even ten times harder than before.Mike stared at his phone screen eagerly as he heard a notification—another declined meeting request. The Lockwood investors had ghosted him for days.“I’m sorry but Mr Lockwood is unavailable….”“The board has no openings this quarter…”“Kindly resubmit through proper channels….”He hurled his phone onto the couch and growled angrily, “Proper channels? I already doing it through the proper channels!”Suddenly, the static screen appeared in his vision, flashing with bold letters:[The Austra wealth system….][Host: Micheal Robinson…..][Coins: 0…][Level: 4….][Task: Get the Lockwood contract…][Status: Ongoing ][Task deadline: 72 hours remaining…][Penalty: 400 coins.]Mike exhaled sharply. Task deadline? Since when? I thought there wasn’t an ultimatum…And how was he going to remit 400 coins? That is 400 million! A knock sounded at the doo
CHAPTER 15
Investors started rushing in after The Sawdust signed with them, making mike receive nothing less than eight investors calling his personal line inorder to set up a meeting and the calls, though welcomed, but was incessant, making him realize that he might be in need of a personal assistant.With only one person in mind, he dialed the number and the other line answered almost immediately…“Sir!” Carter, his bio tech personal assistant’s voice boomed excitedly through the speaker. “I have been trying to reach you for days.”“Really?” Mike laughed. Apart from Simone and Richard—who had later turned out to be snakes, his personal assistant was the only one he was close to in the company. “Do you mind working for me, Carter? You will be paid handsomely.”“Yes—yes, I will sir,” he replied excitedly. “Where should I meet you?”After exchanging information with his PA, he hung up and was about to go take his shower when the static screen appeared suddenly in his vision…[The Austra wealth sy
CHAPTER 14
Ding…The static screen appeared before his eyes on his way out of Mr Ginger’s office…[The Austra wealth system….][Host: Micheal Robinson…..][Coins: 0…][Level: 3….][Task: Get investors before weekend…][Status: Completed.][Reward: 300 coins].“Austra?” Mike called out gingerly as he walks out the open street, satisfied on how the meeting with Mr Ginger went, for the old man had agreed to invest a whole lot of money. “Convert all my coins to cash.”And soon enough, his phone rang in his suit pockets, signaling his credit alert. Upon hearing that, he smiled sheepishly, for he has three hundred million dollars to spend at a go and decided then and there, he wants a bigger office space.“Hello Mr Anderson,” he called out eagerly through his phone speaker.“Hello young sir,” the old man’s voice boomed through the speaker, surprisingly steady. “What can I do for you today?”“I need a bigger space.”The silence that followed was legendary as Mr Anderson was taken aback by the new
CHAPTER 13
Getting investors was a a lot harder than mike had thought, for they were not only skeptical about his ‘little company’ and ‘big plans,’ and not wanting to make a financial mistake, but most had turned a deaf ear to whatever Mike had to offer, mainly because he was now a branded enemy of the most prestigious company in the country, Bio-tech. “Mr Jerkins….please hear me out, it is legit….” “Madame Whistleborn…..Good day ma’am, I have been trying to reach you for days, but your secretary—hello? Hello Madame…?” “Mr Weasley…if you invest in this new promising company—wait, you called the security on me? Don’t touch me, I will leave….” “Hello Mr Austin…” Mike cried in exhaustion as he sat on a slab beside one of the companies on his list, after he had just been thrown out by the security. “This is not working…no one wants to see or have anything to do with me and I am suspecting Bio tech.” “Calm down my boy,” The old man’s voice boomed from the phone speaker, “Where are you a
