TYCOON SYSTEM: THE INCREDIBLE BILLIONAIRE

The new CEO

Dianna's eyes widened as she twirled her head towards the door, shocked by the voice she had just heard. Slowly, the door came open revealing Lucas who should have fled or perhaps should have been dead by now. He and a frown on his face that showed he might have heard what she said.

“Hubby?” Seeing him, Freya was filled with excitement, and quickly she rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.

Lucas smiled and hugged her back but right after, his eyes turned cold again as he looked back at Dianna. He didn’t know the changes that might have happened to his body, but he could hear things from afar. How did Dianna know he was dead and was about to explain how it happened?

The only explanation was that she knew about it and thus must have been the one who planned it.

Dianne was so shocked that she hadn’t spoken a word since.

“You sent those people to kill me right?” Lucas asked coldly.

“Huh? What are you saying, Lucas?” Shocked by what he said, Freya pulled off the hug to look at who he was referring to. When she saw he was looking at her mom, she was rather confused. What does he mean by those words?

“Wife, she knows what I am talking about. She planned my death. As I was coming back home yesterday I was attacked. I was only lucky to have woken up alive in the hospital today.” Lucas said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Dianna panicked, but she was quick to conceal it. There was no way she was going to accept what she had done and besides it wasn’t that his life was any big deal, so why was he pissed about it?

What she was more worried about was the fact that she had failed in pairing Richard up with Freya. She was about to put in sweet words and set up a date for the both of them to meet and yet, Lucas who should be dead came out from nowhere spoiling everything.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t you dare accuse me wrongly? I only thought you might be dead since you didn’t return home for a long time. How possible will I be the one who sent people to kill you? Do you think I have time for that? Idiot!” She snared and stomped her feet away, heading towards her room.

Lucas stared at her coldly but since he had no evidence that she was the one who planned his death, he could only let go for now. When he found evidence, he would show it to Freya and let her know what her mom had done.

“Lucas, my mom tried to kill you?” Freya asked again, still shocked, but he smiled and brushed it off.

“I must be overthinking things.” He said with a smile for now so he wouldn’t put her in a disturbed state.

…

Hours passed by and Lucas took his bath, dressed up, and stepped out. He had yet to confirm the things the system had given him, and also he had an ongoing task to complete else he would have a heart seizure. He didn’t know how truthful that was, but he wouldn’t want to experience that either.

Furthermore, he took a cab and drove straight to the fintech company. Though he wasn’t sure, he knew he had to confirm, so he put on a bold front and headed into the company.

However, he hadn’t taken a few steps in when he heard two voices from the side. 

“Lucas, is that you? You are out of prison already? Wow? And you think you can return to your post in the company like nothing happened? Ha! You are really smug!” Callum spoke.

“I bet he is here to steal more, just like he did before.” Standing beside Callum was Tristan, who spoke with disdain in his eyes.

As soon as Lucas set his eyes on them, his blood boiled even more. These were the people who framed him for stealing and had him locked up.  Did they think he was going to let them off like that?  Did they still have the guts to mock him? 

He gritted his teeth tightly while his fist also clenched. If eventually he turned out to be the owner of the company not only would he exert his revenge on them, but also he would make sure they suffered for their actions.

Ignoring them, he wanted to be walked off to meet Derick, the manager of the company. He wanted to know if the system had really bought it for him so he had no choice but to go to him and ask directly.

But then before he took another step, Callum and Tristan came to his front and locked him.

“Where do you think you are going to? You thief!” Callum said with a deadly glint in his eyes. “If you don’t leave here now, I will forget my fist on your face!” He added sarcastically as he started folding his sleeves up.

He had always hated Lucas for having such a high post in the company that was why he partnered with Tristan who had the same objective as him to teach Lucas a good lesson. Now that he was back, they wondered what he was up to, and thus they wanted to use this means to beat him up and make him feel more miserable than before.

“Get out of my front!” Lucas sneered, unable to stomach their horrible faces.

“Punk, who do you think you are talking to? Yesterday you were arrested for stealing the company’s money, and today you are here claiming to come back to work? Are you a fool or what?” Tristan snapped.

Smiling, Lucas replied. “I am not here to resume my post, but instead I bought the company. This place is mine now.”  

“Huh?” Both Callum and Tristan looked at each other before busting into a chuckle. They laughed so hard that their chest hurt so much, making Lucas look stupid, and started doubting that perhaps it was all a dream and the system didn’t reward him with this company.

“That’s the most hilarious joke I’ve ever heard my entire life,” Tristan said while Callum nodded.

“This brute is indeed a joker. If he bought this place, then I will lick the whole of this company floor clean.” Callum chided.

“Let’s just beat him up. Break a leg or two and send him out. No one will care anyway as after all he is a criminal.” Tristan suggested while Callum agreed.

Both of them smirked and began to walk towards Lucas intending to break his legs and throw him out of the company.

But then, just as they were about to pounce on him, a voice roared from afar.

“Stop it! Don’t you dare touch him! Don’t you dare touch the new CEO of fintech!”
