Dragonborn: Dovahkiin System

Chapter 9. The Big Shot

"Oh my, if it isn't Young Master Maximus? Oh forgive me, you go by just Maximus now." A feminine voice spoke in utter ridicule. Maximus had seen who it was. Sonia Holland, they attended the same College together, she had once sent him a love letter, but he sent her an apology letter instead, telling her he was in love with someone else and not interested in her.. at that time, he was dating Marilyn.

"I didn't fancy seeing our Big family reject here. What gives?" The man beside her said with a smirk on his face. This man was none other than Maximus' elder stepbrother, Jason Zenith.

"He must be working here, right Max?" Sonia said with feigned sympathy, then she turned to Maximus.

"We're here to buy a car for me." Sonia said with a smile.

"The school reunion is coming up in a month time, I'm sure you don't know about it, and well, my sweet Jason here decided it's best I go in my own car." Sonia said as she held the young man's hand in a romantic way.

"Oh, and by the way, he's getting me a Rolls-Royce Phantom. That car alone cost $600,000.. I'm sure you've never seen that much money before." Sonia said.

"I also heard you left the Richardsons, don't tell me they kicked you out." Jason said and laughed. Sonia opened her mouth to make a comment when the salesman came in.

"Greetings young master Jason." Daniel greeted Jason with a short bow. He then turned to Maximus with an expression of reverence. "Sir, the paperwork for the Rolls-Royce Sweptail and your car license are ready.. would you like to come to my office and sign them or should I bring them down here."

Maximus smiled. He then turned to Jason and Sonia who stood speechless, probably doubting what they just heard. "As much as I'd like to catch up with the both of you, it seems my 'valuable' time is requested for something more important." Maximus then turned to walk towards Daniel, but Jason held him back..

"Hold it." Jason then turned to Daniel. "What do you mean paperwork for the Rolls-Royce Sweptail, do you mean to say that he just bought that car?" Jason said with his brows knitted.

"Yes, Jason. I bought the car that even you couldn't afford. I can't believe that the young master of the Zenith Family couldn't even afford a measly sum of $15 million for a car." Maximus snickered on the inside 'Yeah right, like even I could afford it. I'm so glad for what Agnes did, I got to meet the Dovahkiin System. Hahahahahahaha! In your face suckers!'

"You're lying!" Sonia said with her voice raised.

"I apologize Miss, but Mister Dameon here isn't lying. The paper work has already been completed, I just need his signature on it." Daniel said with a straight face. He could see that Maximus and Jason weren't on friendly terms, but he wasn't going to lose $15 million just to please the young master Jason and his snobbish girlfriend.

"Oh Sonia, as for that reunion, I would certainly attend. Thank you for delivering the news to me. Here's a tip." Maximus said a brought out two $1,000 bills from his pocket and put it in her hand.

"Now, of you'll excuse me, I've got important things to take care of." Maximus said and then walked away from them with a spring in his step. He couldn't help but grin so happily.. 'oh that felt good.. that felt super good!'

[TWO DAYS LATER]

Financial District.

A blue Rolls-Royce Sweptail can be seen stopping in front of a three storey luxury building, the driver steps out and opens the back door, out came the most gorgeous man ever seen; black curly hair, immaculate shaped oval face with a square jaw, ruby lips, blue colored eyes and well toned tall body, he surpassed all sexy models in all of Yorkshire Empire. Dressed in a custom made blue Italian suit, he strolled into the building, with his driver holding his suitcase behind him, heading straight for the receptionist.

“Hello Miss.” the man said with a smile that can make a thousand girls faint.

“He..hello..sir” the female receptionist struggled to speak as she was mesmerized by the gorgeousness of the man in front of her.

“I made an appointment two days ago.” he said, his smile still on his face.

“Of course Sir. Your name Sir?” she replied with her heads down so as not to lose focus over the handsome face of this man.

“Maximus, Maximus Dameon is my name.” he replied still smiling.

“Hold on a bit Sir.” she said and went through the thick ledger in front of her. "You can go in Sir, take the elevator to the top floor." She said with a blush on her face.

“Thank you Miss, you've been most helpful.” the man said and winked at her before leaving towards the elevator. He could see the receptionist speaking into her telecom, he knew she was probably calling the manager to let him know of the rich client.. himself.

Maximus stepped out of the elevator and headed straight for the Manager's office. Opening the door, he was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him; a beautiful young lady, presumably twenty years of age with black wavy hair, full red lips and a stunning figure, although the figure was hidden behind her oversized gown but Maximus could trace her feature. This young lady was kneeling in front of the manager crying, whereas the manager was seated but there was no expression of pity on face for the young lady.

"Miss Dean, I have told you several times, your family owes the bank and taking your father's company as well as your house is the only way to recoup the loss this bank has suffered due to your father's inability to pay his debt before his untimely demise." the manager said with a matter-of-fact tone.

"Please Sir, just give me more time, I will definitely pay up, please my mother is old and sick, she won't be able to survive if we are to live in the streets. Please I beg of you." the lady pleaded.

"I am sorry Miss Dean, but I will advise you to go home and pack your things because by tomorrow you will be thrown out." the manager said without a shred of mercy.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but how much does her family owes the bank that you resort to such extreme measures." Maximus said. His voice froze the manager who did not even realize when Maximus walked into his office, while the lady was still on her knees.

"I am so sorry you had to witness this scene Mister Dameon. I was just about to call security to throw her out." the manager said as he picked up the telephone to call security.

"Throw her out? Goodness me, no! I asked you a question. How much does her family owes the bank that you resort to such extreme measures?" Maximus asked the manager while staring straight into his eyes. The manager gulped, he didn't know why but he felt like Maximus could squish the life out of him if he made just one wrong move.

"Four million dollars Sir. Her father actually borrowed $3.5 million dollars from the bank, but due to his inability to pay and the interest being added with each passing day, the total amount is now four million dollars." the manager said.

"Is that all!?" Maximus answered with the expression of a man who felt the money was too insignificant. His answer jolted the lady, she turned around for the first time to stare at Maximus, she was awed by his gorgeousness and immaculate dressing, but what caught her attention was how Maximus reacted to her case, how can someone treat four million dollars as if it's nothing, that's four million dollars!

"I will clear the debt." Maximus said nonchalantly. Although his words sounded a bit arrogant but to him it didn't, he had over a billion dollars in his account, and that was merely a drop of his true wealth, so four million dollars was like one single dollar bill to him now.

"You.. you.. why?" the lady stuttered still on her knees. Maximus approached her and helped her stand.

"Because I was once like you, and I admire your courage and filial piety towards your Mother. It will be bad of me to stand and watch when I know I can help. Go home to your Mother, you will not be homeless anymore." Maximus said as he used his finger to wipe away her tears.

"Thank you so much." the lady said with sincerity while tears streamed down her cheeks.

"No more tears, go home lest your mother worries for you." Maximus said in a gentle voice. He didn't know why but he felt the need to protect this lady and stop her pains.

"I will drive you home. No buts." he said to her.

He then turned to the manager who had his jaws dropped.

"Manager Miller, I was actually here to ask for your help on something. I need to purchase a company building, if you can recall, I showed interest in the High-Rise building."

Boom! The manager looked between Maximus and the lady, what sort of joke was this? He came here because he needed help to buy a company building? Yet he just helped the lady regain hers even though he was sure the lady will have no use for the company building, but before the manager could utter a response, the lady beat him to it.

The lady spoke softly, "Sir, you can have my father's company building. I don't need it."

Maximus disagreed, "That's not right. How can you give me something that's important to you?"

The lady explained, "Actually, sir, the building has been empty since my father passed away. Nobody wants to buy it because of the loan attached to it. I'm offering it to you as a way to repay your kindness."

Maximus thought for a moment. It would save him time searching for a building, but he didn't want to take advantage of someone in need.

Finally, he said, "Okay, but I'll pay you for the building. No arguments."

He turned to the manager, who looked like he was watching a weird movie. "Can you prepare the papers?" Maximus asked.

The manager stuttered, "Y-yes, sir... Mister Dameon."

Maximus said, "Good. While you do that, I'd like to see the building."

He walked out of the office with the lady following behind him.

"Soon, very soon, I will have the power to bring down everyone that had ever stepped on me. Be ready, I am coming!"
