"Sir, sign here," The doctor pointed at a place on the paper asking Aiden to sign.

"Also here," He continued after Aiden signed the papers pointing at another spot.

"Thank you very much, we'll commence with the operation soon," The doctor smiled and then walked away quickly to arrange for the operation.

Aiden sighed and walked to his sister's ward. Looking at the weak and skinny girl on the bed, he couldn't help but shake his head and his eyes became red.

"Brother." A weak voice called just as Aiden reached his sister's side.

"Kayla, " Aiden forced a smile holding his sister's bony hands while caressing them slowly.

His sister had been sick since she was little and their parents were not rich enough to afford the operation. After they had passed away in the ghastly accident, the task of taking care of her had fallen upon him.

Her condition had gotten worse and she had been hospitalized. Because he couldn't afford the money for a full treatment, the hospital could only help give just a minimal treatment.

Also, he had no other choice but to work overtime most times just to be able to make ends meet.

"You'll be fine, Kayla." Aiden consoled, looking at his sister. He had already paid for her surgery and had also made arrangements for her ward to be changed after everything.

"But brother..." Kayla called Aiden, her eyes red as tears threatened to flow down from them.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Aiden interrupted, caressing her hands.

He knew what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything. After all, he also didn't know the origin of the system.

After a while, the doctors soon came and wheeled Kayla into the theater room while Aiden watched.

Heaving a sigh, Aiden shook his head and walked away. There was no need for him to stay any longer. He still needed to buy a company.

He had spent just five million dollars out of a hundred Million dollars and was still left with ninety-five million.

He didn't know where to start. He was just as confused as ever. How was he going to buy a company?

He had to think of a way, but no matter how much he racked his brain, he just couldn't come up with a solution.

Aiden panicked, but there was nothing he could do. His time was running out and he needed to buy a company, but he couldn't see a company out for sale.

"Take a deep breath." He muttered under his breath and brought out his phone.

Aiden then searched the number of companies that were up for sale. Scrolling through G****e, Aiden was discouraged. What the heck was he seeing?

All the companies he was seeing were over a hundred million. How the heck was he supposed to be able to buy a company?

Aiden stood on the stop and wouldn't stop scrolling. He knew he was doomed if he didn't find something suitable.

In a flash, an hour was gone, and Aiden was still scrolling through G****e, trying to find a company up for sale, but he couldn't find even a single one, and this made him depressed.

He was not ready to die yet, so he had to find a company, no matter what it was going to take.

After a while, Aiden still couldn't find a company. The least company he could find was a hundred million dollars, and he had already spent some of the money to care for his sister.

It seemed like he was going to have to die because he didn't know what to do next. After that, he was a little bit helpless and had no idea what to do next.

Just as Aiden was about to stop searching, his eyes suddenly caught something and he froze.

"The Snack Shack Company is up for sale at the price of fifty Million Dollars," The advertisement by the side read.

Seeing this, Aiden was immediately interested; after all, he had been looking for a company, so he clicked on it.

The page loaded and it took him to a different site where it read. For more information, contact the number below.

Then there was a number right under it making Aiden smile widely.

There was no way he was going to give up on this. He was going to get this company.

After all, he didn't want to die. As for what the company produced or what it was all about, he didn't care and just wanted to buy the company for the sake of avoiding death.

After all, he was going to die in the next twenty-four hours if he didn't buy a company.

Copying the number, he proceeded to call the other party, and soon the call went through, and it was picked.

"Hello, who's this?" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hi, I saw the advertisement for the sale of The Snack Shack company and would like to purchase it," Aiden replied, he could feel his heart pounding against his chest.

"Text me your location; I will come to pick you up. I'm just an agent and don't own the company, I'll take you to the owner of the company." The hoarse voice replied.

"Sure." Aiden nodded and then ended the call.

Then he texted the other party his location while he waited. He was not afraid of being scammed.

He was not a fool and knew well what he was doing, so there was no way he was going to follow the other party blindly.

Soon, an old scooter, driven by a tall, lanky man who had a rugged look on his face, stopped in front of Aiden.

"Are you Aiden Sinclair?" The man asked, gazing at Aiden with a frown on his face.

"Yes, I am." Aiden nodded without any hesitation.

The man looked at Aiden for a while scrunching his brows as he looked at him, but after a while, he said,

"Hop on, I'll take you to the owner of the company." The man said.

  • Why Should He Have It

    "Yes...yes ma'am, that's the case," the soldier stuttered, nodding, not daring to say the truth.There was no way he would dare say the truth after witnessing Aiden's skills. Well, that was if he didn't want his life."Good, good," Scarlett grinned, walking forward and patting the soldier's shoulders.Though she didn't know how he had done it, she assumed he had caught them off guard and thus everything was easy.The others seemed to think like this and thus didn't ask any questions.Well, they would have nearly lost their mind if they knew what really happened.At the moment, Justin had quite a scowl on his face but didn't say anything. The credit had been taken away by someone under him, this was unacceptable.Though he was still going to get some of it, but it was still not going to be as much as that of the soldier, after all, Scarlett and Scott were not going to let him change the narrative."Let's step outside and let the soldiers search the building," Scarlett commanded, turni

  • Giving Credit

    The five men approaching instantly opened fire on Aiden the moment he dashed forward.Aiden grinned and continued to move. He couldn't be bothered to shield his body with Qi. He was now impervious to knives and bullets. Only a higher range of fire power could harm him.Well, that would last until he got to the Nascent Soul Realm. Once he was in that Realm, nothing would be able to harm him.The men watched in horror as the bullets bounced off Aiden's skin. Before they could recover, Aiden had already gotten to them.Grabbing the nearest one, he pulled him closer and with an uppercut, he sent him flying.He then moved, arriving instantly before the second one and elbowed his jaws before grabbing his gun and hitting him on the head.By now, the remaining three had come back to their senses and began to shoot at Aiden again spradoically.Now, he was in a closer range, so they didn't believe the bullets wouldn't be able to pierce him.But that was all their imagination.The moment the bul

  • Don't Act

    The soldier wasted no time and spun to his right, accurately shooting the criminal."Another behind me," Aiden continued, pointing behind him.And sure enough, there seemed to be a small passage, and there was a man slowly approaching as though to catch Aiden, who was sitting off guard."To your left," Aiden said again, even before the soldier to rest easy.At this point, the soldier stopped doubting Aiden and began to follow his orders. Though he didn't know how Aiden was able to identify their location.He didn't care and continued to take them down with Aiden instructing him. It was as though Aiden had eyes all around and was able to see through.After a while, Aiden finally stopped giving orders, which made the soldier breathe in a sigh of relief. The criminals were starting to get much, and with only him, he wasn't sure if he would be able to keep up."Let's go, I've spotted the leader," Aiden suddenly stood, preparing to leave."Huh?" The soldier froze, not believing his ears."

  • Ask Less Questions

    "Hey, Stinky doctor," One of the special force soldiers waved at Aiden the moment he alighted from the sir."Sir..." Scott swallowed, feeling rather helpless at the situation, hoping Aiden wouldn't take it to heart."You don't have to worry, I won't react rashly," Aiden chuckled, putting his hands into his pockets while walking towards the soldiers.Hearing this, Scott breathed in a sigh of relief, then rushed towards Scarlett waiting for him.The plan was to seal off all escape routes, then have Alexander and Justin go into the house with Scott and Scarlett backing them up.The special force soldiers would come in, in groups advancing slowly and in case of a shootout, they would be able to directly help the others.The plan was simple but effective.Aiden, on the other hand, walked towards the soldiers who seemed to have a mocking smile all over their faces.Saying he was not going to act rashly didn't mean he wasn't going to teach them a lesson. He would teach them a full-blown less

  • Julius

    Minutes later the taxi pulled up before a police station. Paying the driver, Aiden alighted from the taxi and stared at the building.Just right outside the station were three vans. Special force officers stood beside the van, fully armed, prepared to get into the van.By the side were four distinct figures: Scarlett, Scott, Alexander, and one other man whom Aiden didn't recognize."Do we have to wait for that stinky doctor?""Do you realize we would be punished if those criminals escape right under our noses all because you all are waiting for a stinky brat?" The man, Julius, whom Aiden didn't recognize, suddenly spoke, sounding rather impatient."I..." Scott wanted to explain, when he raised his head and saw Aiden approaching them.Seeing them, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was sure the latter heard this and could only hope he was not annoyed."Dr. Aiden," Scott called quickly, hoping Julius would stop his arrogant remark.Well, that didn't work as Julius stepped forward

  • Scott's Call

    (The Next Day)The sound of a phone ringing forced Aiden to open his eyes, interrupting his Cultivation.He had been cultivating all night and had made quite a progress. He was now at the middle-stage Golden Core Realm, which was all thanks to the Qi-gathering Array he had set up.It was quite helpful, so Aiden was happy.Glancing at the Caller's ID, he realized it was Dominic."Good morning, sir," Dominic's harsh voice came from the other end of the phone the moment Aiden answered the call."Morning, old man, how are you doing?""I'm fine, sir," Dominic answered then continued,"Sir, we have quite a few orders from some retailers and wholesalers," Dominic reported, stating the real purpose he had called. There was no need to talk about other things.He knew Aiden didn't like wasting time on stuff like that and just went straight to the point."How many boxes?" Aiden asked after a while,"They requested thirty boxes each.""That's quite a lot," Aiden muttered, taken aback with the qua
