[ To keep your lord rank you need to maintain some number of acquired properties. You cannot be a lord without owning, and at this level, you are required to cultivate your ownership. You may own land, laborers, or any properties, but all of those are needed to be acquired. To be the official lord of the system requires a certain number of things you own.] The system explains to Henley. Henley's brows furrowed. He expected that the ladder to ascension would be easy now that he's in level 3 but then it seems that he still needs to work out to be the lord of the system. Well, if that means acquiring, he's confident of that anyway. "I'm building my own pyramid now, would that count?" Henley asked. [Toottttt!]The system scanned. It's checking what Henley was asking. [ At this level, there are no specific criteria given for acquiring, or no particular things given to be acquired however you should abide by a general criteria for this, that every piece you acquired as your own should
"Cheers!" Tori muttered as she tossed her wine glass with Henley. They are now celebrating their win. Henley tossed his glass too, sipping his wine as he savored the city air. The ambience here from the top of his tower is overwhelming, and somehow fresh and satisfying. Perhaps it's the feeling of winning that pleasures him. He must admit, the city view is more enjoyable tonight because of the news he received -- the pharmacy that framed him up before is now suffering in the mud. Money...this gets things to work fast and easy! Henley thought to himself. "Hey, Tori, as the head of my property acquisition team, I want you to lead the guys to work harder," Henley said. Tori's brows furrowed, "Harder?" she asked. Henley nodded, " Yeah because I'm planning to buy the world!" he muttered with dreamy eyes. And she tossed his glass again with Tori, while the other one was astounded at what he uttered. [System Update!] Henley felt a message on his fingertips. So, he now excused hims
[Commodities in exchange for stocks. Deliver all the commodities you obtain to the red gate in Old Port.] Okay, any commodities will do. I'm glad I'll be hitting two birds in one stone now. Henley thought to himself as he stared coldly at the already closed pharmacy in Elite City. The cold air that creeps into his nostrils gives him a sense of nostalgia. This place. Exactly at a time like this, he had the greatest disappointment of his life. If not for that pharmacy, and oh...if not for Naomi's betrayal, his mother would still be alive. Henley clenched his fists at the recall of those memories. "Hey, boss, this is the name of the manager assigned that day. It turns out that the manager even received a fee from Drex in exchange for her public statement," Tori informed him, showing him pictures and proofs. Henley recalled how he punished the staff involved in that day where he was set up. He already has had his payback on this pharmacy, he even bought one of its branches in Elite Ci
Henley's fists clenched. How could this b*** so brazen to talk about my mother? He turned to Adder rushed at him and kicked his face. He even heard Naomi's horrified scream when she saw blood spitting out of his husband's mouth. Yet, he just coldly glances at her telling her as if her husband deserves it. Why not? It's Naomi in the first place who knows what really happened? After that, Henley stormed out of the parking area. Even Tori dared not talk to him while they were inside the car. It's obvious on his face that he's not in the mood. "I can't wait for the next day to have an update about the art I need to buy. I need a development now," Henley muttered with a cold tone. Tori didn't reply yet deep inside she's rattled about how they can buy Aula's masterpiece. She sighed a relief when her phone beeped. It was from one of Henley's acquisition teams. A photo and Aula's background were sent to her. "Uh, boss, this is what Aula's Délaissé looks like!" Tori showed the photo on
[System notification: Level 2 Task will begin anytime soon]Henley sighed. His emotions weren't ready for this. He's still on what happened a while ago on the dance floor. [Level 2 is still on spending however this time you can buy some items to level up your rank in the system. As of now you are in the worker rank, and again the highest rank one system user could achieve is being the Creator which no one in history had achieved.] Henley's eyes sparked at what he read on what seemed to be a hologram by his fingertips. Creator of the system! That intrigues me! [ Rank 1 - Worker Rank 2 - Lord Rank 3 - Noble Rank 4 - King Rank 5 - Creator ] So far, this is what the system has shown him. Henley wondered how something new was being introduced to him every time. So, it turns out that when he surpasses some levels that would alleviate his ranks too, for now, he's still on the worker rank. Well, at least with that rank, I am now enjoying some money and with that a little po
Henley gazed at Tori's face. She's one seductress! Damn it! He thinks. They stepped into the dancing area. Henley could feel all the eyes staring at them. He's sure that they have gotten their attention. It could be that they are curious or they are awed by them. At the side of his eyes, he saw the Krux's family's face. They were frowning, perhaps envious. But there's one particular face that made him rejoice. It's satisfying to see Naomi's expression. Was it pain? Was it regret he saw in her eyes? Whatever it is, it delights him that she's hurting or regretful. She must. They started to dance as the classical music's whispered beat rumbled into their ears. Tori slid her right foot back while moving her other foot forward. She lowered herself until her dress touched the ground, and then abruptly rose to her feet with such force. Henley heard the guests gasp at Tori's show-off. This woman is making me proud! Henley thought to himself. Before leaping into the air, Tori extended he
The daily life of a billionaire. Henley Austen now resides in Elite City cluster A. This is just a secret, but besides his Aurum Chateu in Elite City, he also owns another house there where he lives. Aside from that, he also now owns another secret property outside Elite City, and that house serves as his hideout. Thanks to the system he had got, it was like he had won the lottery more. His life quickly changed. Henley's house is the biggest in cluster A. His bedroom is situated on the 5th floor. His maids were gathered around him before his alarm clock even sounded. And as he rose from the bed, all the maids greeted him, while one of them handed him warm water to drink, and the other handed him his slippers to wear. At the signal of his hand, the maids quickly leave the room, and he gets the curtain's remote. Then he settled in his room's balcony, where there was already a coffee ready for his consumption. Comfort. This was part of his daily routine. Minutes after he enjoys his cof
Henley Austen who becomes instant famous because of his Aurum Chateau is now again making headlines because of the unique policy he implemented in Night Zero Club -- No Elite Residents are allowed. Many were surprised after they learned that the famous club was now owned by him. While the public is in awe of the club's elegance and high-end impressive reputation, they are at the same time confused as to why of all the people, the Elite City residents are banned from the club. "If there are those who suit well in that place it's us!" "Look at the elegance, the expensive tastes! The glamorous image of that club! It speaks of us! Why are we not allowed in there?" The protesting residents usually have the same lines with their objections. But Henley remained deaf to their whinings. He was firm in his decision. He intended the club to be that way! Only for the common citizens. No Elite City residents are allowed. "Boss, many Elite residents have come by just today. They wanted to go in
Day 3[Well done! You have got 16 Billion Dollars in your account! You're now near closing level 1! Spend it in 3 days to grow your money! Failing to do so within the required time will reduce back to level zero!]No pressure! Henley smiled as he closed the system update he was reading. He already had in mind where he was going spend next, for now, he'll enjoy this scene he's seeing. "What is this? You can't do this!" From a distance, Henley saw Mr. Krux freaking out. He was angry yet begging the estate staff to stop dragging them out of their house. The estate agreed to his terms. In the end, he was told that the housing secretary likes the idea of raising the housing cost to set the bar high. It's good for the Elite City's image so they choose Henley's proposal over the Krux family, besides it was like Henley had paid all the overdue balance of the Krux family since it has been a year that the family was failing to pay the city association dues. His proposal was a win-win for the
