Rise of the system magnate

Chapter 3

“How cheap! Tsk!” Alec said as he got into his car and drove out of the premises while the women looked at each other cheaply. If only Alec knew that they were willing to lay with him just to at least be in the car for a day.

Meanwhile, Alec thought of what the women had said earlier. Does it mean that he wasn't fit enough to be owner of the car?

Instantly, he thought of getting clothes but what if they decided to chase him out without finding out if he actually had money or not? He thought and ordered some nice clothes for himself.

It didn't take up to two hours to get changed in a public toilet. Even though he didn't still seem like a really wealthy man, Alec still had some level of change within him.

Just then, he noticed some commotion right beside him. Several reporters had gathered around a particular hotel while they talked about its failure.

Alec shook his head at St Louis hotel right in front of him. This hotel, in fact, used to be one of the largest hotel in the city. The same hotel Sophie had always wanted to relax in but back then, he couldn't afford it for her. Who knows if she came here with her new boyfriend since the man claimed to be with her for five years?

How come the hotel was now on sale? It was probably because of poor management. He thought. His mind drifted towards his task. He knew he needed to hasten up to get more rewards.

After all, the rich had to keep getting rich and maintain their standard. It was just a matter of time before his name began to strike in everyone's ears.

With that thought, Alec managed to find his way admist the reporters, not believing what he heard. It was said that the owner of the hotel died and he didn't have any successor and so, they wanted to have the hotel sold while the stakeholders shared the money amongst each other.

Alec thought of the golden opportunity as he walked his way into the hotel which seemed distant.

“We do not offer services anymore” A man said as he walked towards Alec even though everything still seemed to be running smoothly to an extent.

“I am not here for services actually. I am here to buy the hotel”

“Really?” Someone said and walked towards him. In fact, the person showed some sign of respect.

“In as much as we are glad that you would like to purchase our hotel, It's really expensive, sir.’” The owner said softly.

To the man, Alec didn't seem poor but he didn't seem rich enough to purchase a five star hotel also. In fact, just in case anything happens, the man already stationed some officers to have him arrested for nuisance.

A week ago, a man had come around for inspection just because he claimed he wanted to buy the hotel. He seemed okay enough that the managing staff trusted him to some extent.

In the end, the man had managed to steal off some valuables and was about to escape when he was caught red-handed. That was the reason why Alec was not trusted fully.

“How much is it?”

“Twenty billion, five hundred million dollars, sir. It's way expensive to manage the hotel” The man added.

He knew that in less than a week, if they did not find a buyer to get the hotel, their positions would be dissolved and that would be another case of unemployment.

“The hotel's account details?”

“Huh?” The man said unexpectedly. Alec looked at him for a while and frowned. Did he perhaps look down on him because he thought he couldn't purchase the hotel?

In fact, the reason why he was doing all of that was because he wanted to purchase everything within a week and get his reward.

“I just asked for the details” Alec said again. This time around, the man called it carefully while he stared at Alec. He didn't trust Alec. There were a lot of scammers out there after all and they didn't seem trustworthy.

They would pretend to have sent a particular amount of money but then, it was all a facade.

“I have sent it!”

The receiving phone beeped so loudly that the man did not believe it.

“Welcome, boss” The man said while Alec smiled. Who would have thought that a day would come when someone would call him a boss? He thought and stared at his account balance.

In other for his task to be fully completed, he still had a total of 19,499,996,000 dollars to spend. How on earth did he went to spend all of these? He thought within him as he watched the man gathered all the staff.

“We already have a new boss. Could you introduce yourself to us, sir?” The man said and lowered his head. Alec wasn't entirely comfortable with this. After all, he wasn't used to being a boss. He was used to being bossed around.

“I'm Alec Baldwin, friends. It's nice to meet you”

“Thanks for retaining our position, sir. We would do all we can to make sure that you enjoy being our boss, sir”

“Your name?” Alec asked, completely intrigued.

“Harrison Blacksmith” The man said.

“Are you the manager of this hotel?”

“Yes sir”

“Who handles the finances?”

“I do, sir” A beautiful lady said and lowered her head while Alec looked at her for a while.

“May I see how the hotel has been operated for a while now?” Alec asked while the woman hurriedly went ahead to provide the necessary documents.

A woman walked forward also, with her head simultaneously lowered.

“Here is a document that shows that you are the sole owner of the hotel”

“Here are the files you requested for”

“Okay, I think it should be a step at a time!” Alec said, completely overwhelmed at what he was seeing.
