The Super Billionaire System

Chapter 7

Lyon went to pick up a gift for the Old Madam’s thanksgiving. Growing up in Dwayne's manor, he had studied every member of the family because it was essential.

Making a mistake with anyone’s preferences, especially from the branches that higher status could cause him some corporal punishment.

The Old Madam particularly loved jade pendants, she was a good collector of them. So he set out to get her any pendant that caught his eye.

Paul had gone out to sort most of the errands assigned to him after they left the bank. They both realised that Paul’s account had a limit and Lyon could not make multiple purchases without getting black card.

They were lucky enough to meet a nice bank manager who helped them out and he didn’t take much of their time.

Lyon asked Paul to give him a call after he sorted the housing out.

He arrived at the popular antique market and scrolled through the big stores and the small stalls that sold and specialized in selling jade pendants. None of them had anything that caught his eyes.

After spending two hours searching, he got a text from Paul.

“Boss, I got a million-dollar five bedroom house in a rich neighbourhood, it’s pretty much accessible to any part of the city and the best part, they have an excellent security system, it’s hard to break in.”

“The real estate company got an automobile company and they had a nice Audi that would suit you sir. We get a discount for it because we got the house from them.”

He attached the two photos.

“I already made payments."

Lyon liked the photos, it was impressive that Paul had gotten all of that done in two hours and he was still struggling to buy the gift he came here for.

“THUD!”

An elderly woman ran into him, causing him to fall back a bit, she fell on her back. Lyon rushed to grab her.

“I am sorry ma’am,” he apologised and he helped her pick up her things then handed it over to her. “I wasn’t watching where I was going.”

“No son, you didn’t call me to fall, if anything I should be apologising because I started you.” the woman replied to him.

“But…..” he tried to speak.

She didn’t let him speak before she continued, “I may be visually impaired but I am certain I didn't touch you.”

“Christ!” Lyon exclaimed with guilt laced in his voice. If he had been looking. he would have helped her just before she fell. 

Her eyes were wide open so he didn’t know from the onset that she was blind, now that she mentioned it, he noticed that she seemed to be staring in just one direction.

“can you help me with my walking stick?” 

Lyon got it for her,”If you don’t mind, may I walk you to your destination?" he offered.

She chuckled, “Sure! It’s rare to find kids like you,” she said as she took his hand. “My son is coming to pick me up. He should be at the  car park, he drives a Ford truck.” The elderly woman went on rambling as Lyon took her to find her son.

They arrived at the carpark and a man got down from a Ford truck as the woman said,he walked up to them.

He was well-dressed, in a nice tuxedo. “Mom!” he yelled. “I told you not to come here alone!" he scolded the elderly woman.

Lyon could tell that he was a wealthy man,and this was no ordinary wealth. He gave off the impression of someone who was brought up rich unlike someone like him.

“Hello Sir.” He greeted the man.

“There is no need to be formal,” the elder woman sais as soon as she sensed Lyon;s tone. “This young man is the reason why I was able to find you so quickly."

“Thank you so much.” The man quickly thanked him for his help, which surprised Lyon because he could see his sincerity. “I know my mom must have troubled you, please name anything, I will do it for you.”

“Ah, I didn’t help her because I wanted something."

SLAP, the elderly woman hit her son on his back, “How dare you embarrass my helper like that? If anyone is rewarding him it would be me!”

“Mom!” the man yelled playfully in response, Lyon could tell that mother-son had a great relationship.

“Ma’am, I didn't do this to get a reward from you. Now that you have found your son, I would like to leave.”

He was going to let go of her hand when she held him back, she took off her necklace and slid the pendant on it into his hand. “Youngsters these days won’t count this as a reward but I know a sensible man like you will put it to good use.”

 She patted his hand and smiled before letting go. 

“Thank you so much young man, I won’t forget this favour,” The man said before taking his mother away.

Lyon was stunned.

DING!

[The system has rewarded you 7,000 dollars for helping an elderly woman out.]

“I guess everybody is out to reward me but no one is going to help me with my task….” He trailed off as he stared at the jade pendant in his hand.

His eyes widened as if there were about to pop out of their sockets.

It was a rare jade pendant that was sitting in his hand, nothing like any he had seen in the stores had paraded earlier. 

This was a valuable item and he immediately knew that the Old Madam would love it. He could not have this for free. It was too much of a gift to get for just walking her to the car park.

He looked up to see if the elderly woman was still there, so he could pay her back. He had more than enough money now, so there was no way he was just going to take it for free, but her son’s car was far gone.
