TYCOON SYSTEM: THE INCREDIBLE BILLIONAIRE

Martial arts skills activated

His voice was so domineering that it forced Derrick to choke on his spit and immediately seal his lips closed. How and when did Lucas become so terrifying like this? He wasn’t like that weak employee whom Derrick had known but someone different.

“I would rather not hear such a thing from your mouth. If you had considered me as your friend you would have at least looked into it before calling the cops on me, but you didn’t!” Lucas snorted.

Hearing this, Derick’s heart sank. This was it! This was when he would be fired from the company he had managed for so long. Well, he should have expected this as after all what he did to Lucas was bad.

“But, on account that you have been the manager of this company for a couple of years, I will let you off. But if you betray me, I won’t let you off. Trust me I am not a person to be trifled with now!” Lucas warned with a chilly tone that sent shivers down his spine.

In a few minutes, Derick was covered with so much sweat that had now soaked his suit completely. But more or less, a smile appeared on his lips as it didn’t seem like Lucas was going to sack him.

“Ooh, thank you so much, Lucas. I won’t forget this day. Thank you very much.” Derrick was overjoyed as he spoke.

“Come, tell me about the company. I know we are facing a kind of challenge, and it’s on the stage of going bankrupt, that’s why the higher-ups sold it to me.” Lucas said right after without getting into nonsense.

Quickly Derick stood up from the floor and strengthened his back. “Yes, as a matter of fact, we have seized production of new products. Most suppliers have been on the verge of seizing their partnership with us as we still owe them a huge amount of money.” 

“Also, the workers haven’t been paid for two months now. I can as well stay the company is in a stage of closing down if something isn’t done.” Derick said when a sad expression. Already Lucas knew about all this as he was a worker here just yesterday so he knew how authentic it was.

“To cover all these expenses, how much do you need?” He asked again.

“I… think for a start, fifty million will do,” Derrick said with doubt. Lucas might have bought the company, but how sure was it that he had such an amount of money in his account?

“I see,” Lucas said and pulled out his card. Though he hadn’t confirmed if there was a hundred million in it, how could he doubt the system now? Of course not. “Take this card and take a hundred million from it so you can cover up everything and keep the company running again!” He added, pushing the card to him.

With widened eyes, Derick leaned forward and collected the card. “Yes boss,” it was a little awkward to call Lucas such as he had been the one above Lucas, but now the tables had turned.

“Be fast. I’m in a rush.” Lucas said as it wasn’t like he was going to stay. In the meantime, he had other things to do as well as making sure his wife whom he cherished got the best. Now that he was rich, he could give her the life that she wanted.

“Okay, sir,” Derick said with excitement brewing inside him and quickly dashed outside to get it done.

However, it didn’t take long before Lucas heard a voice in his head.

Ding! Ding!

“Congratulations on completing the task!”

“Loading….”

“Host has achieved level two martial art skills and rewarded with ten million for upkeep.”

“Next task loading…. The host can receive another task at any moment!”

Ding!

After the system said all this, it then vanished again like it was never there. What does it mean by level two martial arts skills? Lucas rubbed his chin as he thought it through. How real could this be? Does this mean he could fight? Lucas's eyes widened, and he couldn’t seem to contain the joy he felt.

However, just then, Derrick came back in smiling. “Sir, I have transferred the money to the company account. I’ll make sure to give you a positive result soon.” He explained.

 Not only would the company go back to working mode, but it would also start producing more products and thus those suppliers who had wanted to terminate their contracts and sue the company would be forced not to. This was indeed a huge step and Lucas was indeed a blessing to the company.

“That’s good.” Lucas stood up from the seat. “Work well with me and you’ll enjoy some benefits. I will be waiting for good news.” He added before walking towards the door.

Then he paused again. “Also, I want you to have someone redecorate this office, I don’t like the setting,” Lucas said before walking out.

Since the office would be his, he wanted to make a few adjustments to it. This should be where it all started. Where he would rise to fame and completely lift himself from the rags he was into riches.

He left the office and once again was under so many eyes, but little didn’t he pay attention to them. What had happened today would forever be in their minds as it was such a shocking event. Who could have thought this would happen? Well, it did.

After leaving the company, Lucas took a cab and headed straight home. While he was inside, he kept thinking about what task the system would give him and how thrilled he would be to do it. What was it called again? The Tycoon system right? Hahaha! After searching up what tycoon meant, he couldn’t help but smile even more.

The cab arrived home and after paying him off, he put on a gentle smile and was walking to the house when suddenly a bag filled with clothes was tossed at him from nowhere. He hadn’t recovered from the shock when he heard a voice.

“Your rent is due, you all should pack your things and scram from this place, or else don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
