2025-01-14 16:05:34"Host now has a company." The mechanical voice came again and Aiden couldn't help but breathe in a sigh of relief.
He didn't know he was going to be able to tell the System that the company was given to him. But it seemed like that was none of the System's problem, and it just counted it directly. "Host has received ten million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice sounded again and the next moment, Aiden's phone beeped. Checking, he saw the alert of the ten million and couldn't help but smile. "Skill would be uploaded into the host memory." The mechanical voice came again, and the next moment, a light screen appeared in front of Aiden reading. "Skill uploading...." In front of it was a percentage bar which read 2% out of a hundred. Soon, the percentage bar got to a hundred and the mechanical voice sounded. "Skill uploaded." Aiden felt a warm stream of energy flow into his head. Instantly, information poured in like a flowing stream. After a while, the stream of information stopped and Aiden had his mouth open. Even an egg could fit in at this moment. "Sir, what's wrong?" Dominic's concerned voice came, pulling Aiden out of his thoughts. "Nothing.." Aiden shook his head, a smile playing out on his lips. At the moment, he could be said to be the best food expert in the world. What the system had given him was the process and formula for different kinds of food and snacks. Some of them even had healing properties. Some could cure certain levels of diseases and many others. The formula was so much that if he was to sit and begin to write It down, he was not going to finish writing all of the formula even if he was to spend the entire day on it. There were even some that he was sure wouldn't be able to find the ingredients easily. It would most likely cost a fortune. Well, this was good, there was no need to panic. With the ten million the System had given him and the remaining money from the last mission, he was sure that he would be able to do something reasonable. "I don't think this place is the right place to talk; let's head in," Dominic suggested, and Aiden agreed. He couldn't wait to try out the formulas and see what was going to happen. "Sir, who's that?" A feminine voice sounded just as they stepped into the company. "You can address him as Mr. Aiden, he's the new owner of the company." Dominic smiled, introducing Aiden to the lady who was sitting at the desk. "New owner?" The lady looked at Dominic and then at Aiden. The disbelief in her eyes was well written and she looked like she was about to tell Dominic that he was lying. "Anyways, you'll get to know him better later, there's a lot we need to do." Dominic chuckled, seeing that the lady was unable to snap out of her shock. "That's the receptionist of the company," Dominic stated as he walked into his office. "But I thought you said that you laid off all the workers?" Aiden was stunned and looked at Dominic. He had thought that maybe she was someone related to him or so. But hearing that she was the company's receptionist, he couldn't hide his amazement. "Well, when I was laying off the others and compensating them after the incident. She was the only one that refused to leave, saying it was until I sold it off before she would quit completely." Dominic chuckled, sounding rather helpless. "If that's the case, are you paying her?" Aiden narrowed his brows. "Nope, I've not been paying her and she never for once asked me to pay." Dominic shook his head, gratitude all over his voice. "Tell her I would like her to be my assistant." Aiden thought for a while and then said before collapsing on the sofa. "Huh?" Dominic was stunned as he couldn't believe his ears. "But..." "You don't have to worry. I can see the reason why she chose to stay," Aiden waved his hands, interrupting Dominic. "If it was not for her, then this place wouldn't be as clean as this. Or would I say, she's now a cleaner and is working for free." Dominic nodded hearing what Aiden said. Though the lady was not able to keep all of the company clean, she was able to make the first floor, which he had turned into his office, clean. He had in mind to look for a way to repay her, but he wasn't expecting Aiden to say she should be his assistant. Though he wasn't sure if Aiden was a second rich generation or not, from the way the latter was, he was not like the others he had met. But he was sure of one thing. Her life was about to become better and that was a good thing "Old man, you're zoning out, that's not what we need to discuss." Aiden's chuckle sounded as he snapped his fingers, bringing back Dominic to his senses. "Sorry about that." Dominic forced a smile and looked at Aiden wondering what he wanted to say. He still wasn't sure how the latter wanted to do it. He knew the ones who were responsible for the downfall of his company, but he was too powerless to do anything to them. Also, he had deliberately kept it from Aiden and yet he didn't ask about it. Even if he had asked, there was no way he was going to tell him. If he was going to tell Aiden, then at least, he wanted to see a chance of success in fighting back should they be attacked again. But that was going too far; how were they going to be able to get court approval to reopen the company? "What are the things we need if we want to bring the company back into business?" Aiden's voice tore through the thick silence, pulling out Dominic of his thoughts.

"About that sir, we'll be needing quite several things." Dominic looked at Aiden, wondering how the latter would be able to revoke the court order."You should pen it down then," Aiden suggested."That'll be better." Dominic agreed, then turned to pick a pen and blank sheet."You should list everything that we need to make the company functional again," Aiden added."Alright." Dominic nodded and began to scribble on the paper.The sharp noise from the pen cut through the silence as Dominic wrote while Aiden watched."Here sir." Dominic soon finished and handed the paper to Aiden.Aiden stretched his hands and collected the paper from Dominic, his eyes scanning the entire content."I...""Ding!" The mechanical voice sounded, interrupting Aiden, who was about to say something."Complete all the necessary steps written in the paper in a month." The voice said."Host has received five hundred million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice continued.Just like the last time, a light sc
Empire Building System Come With Me
"After we get a lawyer, he would be the one to reopen the case and then take it to Court." Dominic continued."The hardest part is where we would have to look for evidence that the company was innocent." Dominic sighed as he concluded.Aiden nodded with a smile, it seemed like this was easier than he had thought.Get a lawyer to tender back the case to the court, then look for evidence. And that was all. As long as they could convince the court they were innocent, it was going to be done.Though this sounded easy, he knew how hard it was. If he failed to find solid evidence, then that was the end of it.There was no way the court would want to listen to him again, so he had to be careful.Aiden sighed and glanced at Dominic who was staring at him and couldn't help but frown, after a while, he asked,"What's wrong, why are you staring at me that way?""Mr. Aiden, I appreciate your efforts to bring back the company, but I don't think we will be able to succeed." Dominic sighed."And who
Empire Building System Elsa's Reluctance
"I thought you were not going to come." Aiden turned to the lady who had rushed out of the company to meet him.There was a faint blush in her eyes as she stood beside him, not saying a word."Well, Mr. Dominic asked me to come, and since I work for him and you've bought the company, that would mean that I would work for you." The lady smiled.Though she was smiling, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. After all, her thought was that Aiden was a rich second generation and even though he was dressed shabbily, she believed that it was just to trick young girls into falling into his traps.If it was not for Dominic, she wouldn't have agreed to be his assistant. However, at the moment, she didn't fully agree and just wanted to test out the latter.If he tried anything improper, she was going to have to tell Dominic and she was sure that he would know what to do, so she was not scared."What's your name?" Aiden broke the silence, turning to look at the lady."I'm Elsa." The la
Empire Building System Buying A Car
Alighting from the car, Elsa and Aiden walked into the store. Elsa's face was still squeezed, looking like she had just seen a pile of shit a few minutes ago.She was still doubting Aiden who didn't even notice the expression on her face and was lost in his thoughts on how to invite his lawyer friend to help him with this case.She had thought that he was still trying to pretend as though he didn't notice her. She already had a plan in mind."Welcome sir, Ma." A sales girl approached the two and greeted them, bowing slightly."What cars do you have?" Aiden snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the girl who seemed to be a complete newbie at the store, and asked directly."Well..." The girl was taken aback by Aiden's question and stuttered before finally replying."We have quite several brands; there's Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, and a lot more." She spoke, glancing at Aiden and then at Elsa who was by the side.Elsa rolled her eyes at the sales girl, seeing that she was staring at her, and

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Aiden." The lady sneered, stopping a few meters away from Aiden, staring at him, disgust written all over her face.Aiden's expression changed, turning around and seeing who it was. He wasn't expecting to meet Amelia here, but that's none of his business. She had already told him that they were not of the same world, so there was no need to bother about her."Here's my card, hurry up and swipe it." Aiden pretended as though he couldn't hear Amelia and turned to the sales girl, giving her his card."Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Amelia flew into a rage seeing that Aiden was ignoring her."Hurry up, please; I can't have some rabid dog barking into my ears." Aiden knitted his brows, turning to the girl, uttering with a serious expression.The sales girl gulped upon hearing this and quickly nodded. She could tell that Amelia and Aiden had some hostility, but it was none of her business. All she needed to do was just pretend as though she couldn't s

"Honey, what's wrong?" Amelia, who was about to attack Aiden once again, noticed Noah's expression."You don't need to ask, I'll tell you what's wrong with him." Aiden chuckled, knowing well what had happened."Shut up!" Amelia sneered and quickly turned to Noah."Honey, what's wrong?" She inquired, staring at Noah."Take a look at this." Noah finally responded and showed her his phone instead."Huh?" Amelia stepped back, her eyes were as though they were going to pop out of their sockets as she stared at the screen."Sir, ma'am, here's the papers, you'll sign here." The sales girl soon ran back with some papers and a big smile on her face."How much did you say the car was?" Noah finally came back to his senses and asked."It's twenty million dollars, sir." The girl replied, still nonchalant about what was happening."Are you sure about that?" Noah looked at the girl and then at the car."Yes, I am." The girl nodded."That one right there." Noah pointed at the car, his eyes like they
Empire Building System Decision
"Mr. Dominic, there are quite a few things I would like to inquire about." Aiden looked at Dominic who was still standing in front of the company."Sure, you can ask." Dominic nodded.However, he was a bit shocked to see Aiden as he wasn't expecting the latter to come back.He had just finished contacting those who would come to clean and repaint the building and was preparing to look for his old friend to replace the machine.The ones at the company would be sold out, and the money would be used by the company."Can you write down the formula of the snack that made the company go bankrupt, and also the process of how it's being produced, right from the start to the finish?" Aiden requested."Yes, sure, Mr. Aiden, but that'll take some; I'm not sure if you'll be able to wait to take it." Dominic agreed almost Immediately.As the head of the company and also a food expert, he was actively involved in the process of the snack and knew it like the back of his hand."Let's go in then, I'l
Empire Building System Let's Squander A Few Million
"I'll call to inform you of the progress, sir," Dominic said, looking at Aiden, who got into the car alongside Elsa.It had taken him over twenty minutes to write down what Aiden had requested.The process was pretty long, and it had been years, so he found it pretty hard to remember. As a result, he was quite slow.Otherwise, he was supposed to be able to write it in ten minutes or so."Alright then, see you later." Aiden nodded getting into the car."Where are we heading to?" Elsa asked, looking over to Aiden.She felt a little bit cheated in her heart. She was the one who was supposed to relax while Aiden did the driving, yet it was the other way around."Take me to Farm City restaurant," Aiden instructed.Elsa nodded and started the car feeling a bit excited. She had always heard of the restaurant and had always looked forward to visiting it.But she didn't have enough money to do that. Even when the company was in good shape, she still wasn't able to afford a meal at the place.B

Exhausted Aiden
Hours later, Aiden staggered out of the room, held by Elsa as she helped him back to the living room."Benjamin, remember, it's just the same way as you did to your grandfather, no difference," Aiden muttered weakly, his voice barely audible."Don't worry, he already knows that," Elsa shook her head as she helped Aiden out of the house.Though she didn't know why he had exerted himself to this point, she also couldn't blame him at all. It was his choice after all.Also, he had gotten guards for himself which was also an amazing thing. Though she wasn't exactly sure as to why he would want to recruit all the twelve men, she couldn't help but nod satisfactorily."You need to rest first, I'll take you home," Elsa sighed as he sweated against Aiden's heavy frame while leading him to the car.If it was not for the food he ate constantly after treating each person, she was afraid he would have long passed out.Getting into the car, she helped him into the back seat, then quickly got into th
Determination
"I want you all to work for me," Aiden revealed, and instantly, the atmosphere dropped. The expression of the men changed and they flared at Aiden."Old Man Ethan has told me all that happened to you and I'll say I'm really sorry about that. But I would need your skills, which is why I want you to work for me.""As for the benefits, if anything were to happen to you during the course of working for me, then I'll take care of your family forever.""You can sign a contract about that later if you don't trust me," Aiden shrugged seeing their expressions."Now, moving on. I'll be paying you all a salary of five hundred thousand every month. And once you accept my offer now, I'll give you two million each to take care of your family problems, give you a week to prepare and come back to me,""I'm not forcing you all to accept or decline. But even if you decline, I'll still treat your injuries, so you won't lose out on your coming," Aiden concluded; his last words, though low, sounded like a
Talking To The Old Men
"They should be here any moment," Ethan soon walked back to the dining after excusing himself to call his comrades over."Thank you, old man," Aiden nodded slightly, then continued to eat.Ethan smiled and didn't say anything. Though he was not sure about what Aiden had to offer, he knew he was not treating them for free.His skills were something they couldn't buy with money even if they had it. So whatever he was offering, it had to be Worth it.Benjamin, on the other hand, had long lost his appetite and was just sitting like a dummy, not saying Anything.Elsa, on the other hand, wanted to see what Aiden wanted to do. Aiden was still wondering what the potion inside his pocket was meant for.Everyone at the table had sudden thoughts going on in their heads, but they were all secretly staring at Aiden."Ring!"After what felt like an eternity, the doorbell suddenly rang, pulling the four out of their thoughts."I'll go get the door," Benjamin stood up instantly and headed towards the
The Old Man's Past
"Develop the land into a farm. And then raise the Worth of the farm to a hundred million," The System's mechanical voice sounded at this moment and Aiden couldn't help but nod slightly."Host has been given Three Hundred million." The mechanical voice rang out again, and the next moment, his phone beeped, but he didn't bother checking it.Aiden frowned slightly. He had been trying to figure out how the System worked, but he was still confused. This was the second time it was actively issuing a mission to him. Well, he was not going to refuse.Could he even refuse even if he wanted to?No way was going to happen. The System was not going to let him."Young friend," Ethan's voice came at the moment, pulling Aiden back to his senses."Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts," Aiden shook his head while smiling slightly."Don't worry it's fine," Ethan shook his head, signifying it was all cool."You did ask me how I got injured right?" Ethan stared at Aiden, bringing back an old topic.Hearing
Side Mission
(The Next Day)"Here we are again," Aiden sighed, staring at the Woods family Villa right before him.The day before, he had been so exhausted that it took Kayla a lot of effort to wake him up to eat.After returning him home, she thought he was drunk and thus went to prepare his favorite meal, after which she prepared some other stuff.After waking up this morning, he was met with Kayla's stern face warning him to drink again.Aiden tried to explain he was not drinking, but there was nothing he could say, she was not listening to him.Having no other choice, he had to agree not to drink again. Well, since the beginning, he was not drinking; it was just that he was tired from treatment.He wondered why that was happening and tried to check his knowledge, but he found out that there was nothing wrong with him."Didn't you want to come? Or haven't you rested enough?" Elsa broke the silence, rolling her eyes at Aiden who was complaining."That's not the case?" Aiden hurriedly shook his h
Completing The Treatment
Hours later, Aiden sighed, wiping away his sweat while removing the last needle.The next moment, he staggered backward, almost falling, but was caught by Benjamin, who had walked in with the paste and the hot water alongside the dregs of the herbs."Are you fine?" Benjamin inquired, his voice soft while holding Aiden who seemed rather weak."I'm fine," Aiden nodded weakly and after a while, managed to balance back on his feet.He knew this was going to happen and was already prepared for it. He felt so exhausted that he wanted nothing but to sleep at the moment.But he couldn't, there were still some other things he needed to do."What's next?" Benjamin inquired, staring at Aiden who stepped back slowly "Plaster the paste on your grandfather's body, let his skin absorb the medicinal properties of the herbs," Aiden instructed, wiping away the sweat on his face."Remember, do not leave out any place. I repeat, not even a single spot," Aiden warned."Even his face?" Benjamin stared at
Treating Ethan
"Sir, here's what you asked for," The sales girl soon approached the three bringing over a bag filled with the herbs Aiden had asked her to fetch.She had also witnessed what happened. Thus, she trembled slightly as she gave him the bag containing the herbs."Thanks," Aiden nodded slightly and took the bag away from the girl then gave her his card.After a while, the payment was complete and the three proceeded to leave the store.The crowd made sure to make way for them, afraid they were going to offend a tyrant like Aiden, so they were able to leave pretty quickly.Getting back to the car, Benjamin took the wheels once more without any complaints this time.His respect for Aiden seemed to have risen to another level. With what the latter had done to Lucas, he was sure he wouldn't suffer under his leadership.Though Aiden was the type who would protect his people. At the same time, he would be the most ruthless person on earth if he was betrayed and he could tell this."I agree with
Unlucky Lucas
"And who the heck are you?" Lucas growled, glaring at Aiden who had stepped forward at this moment."None of your business," Aiden snapped, then turned to Benjamin and asked with a smirk."Haven't you always wanted to teach him a lesson?" "Yes," Benjamin nodded, clenching his fist, his eyes red and he couldn't help but remember all the humiliation Lucas had put him through.Elsa, on the other hand, shook her head in pity. With Aiden's sly nature, she was sure it was not going to end well for Lucas."Who do you want to teach a lesson?" Lucas flared up hearing what Aiden said."Don't you know who I am?" He scoffed, glaring at Aiden and Benjamin."I'm the Young master of the Ross family. I don't know who you are, but since you are helping the Woods family, you've directly become an enemy of our family,""And that's exactly why I want to teach you a lesson," Aiden chuckled and stepped forward."So do you want to become an enemy of our family?" Lucas glared at Aiden."Of course." Aiden no
Lucas Ross
"Huh?"Else froze not understanding what Aiden meant by that. But before she could say anything, he had already walked into the store and was annoyed. But at the same time, she wondered what he meant by that.Having no other choice, she followed the two into the store."So what are we getting?" Elsa stood, her hands on her waist, her hands darting around the large store.The thick scent of the herbs made her feel comfortable and she couldn't help but nod.The place was bigger than she thought it was going to be. After all, this was the first time she was here.Aiden, on the other hand, couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Though the scent of the herb was helpful, it would become a toxic substance to the body if one was there for too long."Let's get what we need quickly," Aiden spoke, snapping both Benjamin and Elsa out of their thoughts while walking toward one of the sales attendants.He was too lazy to start picking up the herbs himself. The shop was large, and he would start
