Building The Strongest Family-Chapter 35: Secret Auction [ 1 ]
Chapter 35: Secret Auction [ 1 ]
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and just like that, three days had passed.
During this time, Arthur chose to stay within the confines of his mansion, meticulously crafting a structured daily routine with the help of Evolon.
Each morning began early with invigorating runs around the estate, followed by weightlifting and gym exercises.
After a refreshing bath and a hearty breakfast, he would retreat to his study to jot down crucial details for the family foundation.
Thankfully, Evolon made this task much easier for him.
Arthur kept a close watch on the progress of his uncles, aunts, and cousins through real-time updates projected by Evolon.
With a staggering injection of 200 billion Unicreds into Osborn Holdings' account, the establishment of various companies surged ahead at lightning speed.
Additionally, he allocated 100 billion Unicreds to purchase twenty luxurious villas surrounding the mansion for his family members.
Ever since their financial collapse forced them to sell off most properties to settle debts, over fifty relatives had been crammed into the single remaining mansion.
Now that Arthur could access unclaimed wealth from around the globe with ease, he simply waved his hand and acquired twenty spacious family-style villas for everyone.
As these three days unfolded, the entire Osborn Family was buzzing with activity. With their rivalry against the Sterling Family resolved, there was no longer any reason to hide away in their mansion.
Those still in school returned to classes while both older and younger generations who had graduated were assigned various roles within the family business to lend a hand.
Everyone was busy; however, despite having dealt with one threat, Arthur remained vigilant, the true mastermind behind their troubles still lurked in the shadows.
Consequently, every family member was assigned bodyguards for protection, some discreetly while others were more visible, and security measures at both the mansion and newly acquired villas were significantly heightened.
Moreover, thanks to Evolon's operations, stock prices for thirty targeted companies skyrocketed!
The excitement among higher-ups and shareholders reached fever pitch as they unleashed promotions and advertisements galore, little did they know they were fanning flames that would lead to their own downfall!
Watching it all unfold left Arthur speechless; he shook his head in disbelief before instructing Evolon to continue generating buzz online to accelerate those stock prices even further.
Arthur also recently harnessed the terrifying computing power of Evolon to dive into the world of stock speculation.
It was during this time that he caught a glimpse of Evolon's true strength, and it left him utterly awestruck.
The speed at which Evolon generated wealth was nothing short of astonishing, it felt as if money was simply being plucked from thin air! In just three days, Arthur managed to amass an incredible 10 trillion Unicreds.
Yes, thatt right, 10 trillion!
While Arthur understood that this amount might be 10 billion in to some giant corporations and families and ja just a drop in the bucket, he couldn't shake off the sheer disbelief.
Earning such an astronomical sum in mere days seemed like something out of a fantasy novel, too outrageous to be real. Yet, there he was, grappling with his newfound fortune.
Just months earlier, the Osborn family teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, desperately needing a mere 5 million Unicreds to settle their debts.
Now, Arthur had transformed his financial fate overnight.
To him now, money had become little more than a number; his focus shifted entirely towards elevating the status and influence of the Osborn family.
With Evolon by his side, financial worries were a thing of the past.
However, every time he glanced at those dizzying figures in his bank account, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his chest, a reminder of his previous life as someone who barely scraped by with four figures saved up and relied on junk food for survival.
The excitement and adrenaline rush from having so much wealth couldn't just vanish; after all, he wasn't like those oil tycoons from the Middle East back on Earth who treated cash like confetti!
Now fully focused on expanding the family's influence and power, Arthur recognized that while earning 10 trillion Unicreds was impressive, and could sustain countless generations, it meant little against the backdrop of elite families and corporations where such sums were merely pocket change.
Having 10 trillion sitting idle in an account might seem grandiose, but Arthur knew that true power lay not just in accumulation but in action.
To grow the Osborn family's legacy, turning that wealth into tangible influence was paramount; otherwise, it would remain nothing more than numbers gathering dust. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
While 10 trillion might seem like an unfathomable sum for the average person, enough to make anyone feel like he owns the world, even if they had to sell their entire family to get it, it's practically pocket changeto the true rulers in a world like Panterra.
Imagine the excitement of having 10 trillion for ordinary people! It could sustain an ordinary individual for hundreds of thousands of years and support generations to come.
Yet, for the true elite of society, this staggering amount barely registers on their radar.
Arthur, who has spent fewd months in this world understanding the basic power dynamics and economic landscape of Panterra, quickly realizes that while 10 trillion is thrilling, it won't elevate the Osborn Family's status one bit.
To him, in this vast ocean of wealth and influence, 10 trillion feels more like a mere drop, hardly enough to make a splash.
But here's the twist: right now, Arthur sees this colossal sum as a golden opportunity!
With it, he can embark on ventures that could reshape his future and quickly build up the foundation of the Osborn Family, although he knows 10 Trillion is not even enough to build 1% of the family foundation.

"Sir, today is the day for the secret auction; it starts at exactly 8:00 PM," Evolon's voice broke through Arthur's concentration as he immersed himself in a financial book.
"I know," Arthur replied nonchalantly. "But I've changed my mind, I'm not going."
"Sir? Why cancel?" Evolon pressed.
"Evolon," Arthur said with a hint of seriousness in his tone. "You do realize Christopher Campbell will be attending?"
"Yes sir," Evolon confirmed. "He's one of five VIPs at this auction."
"So if I go, I'll be targeted not just by him, but by nearly everyone at the auction. They'll do everything in their power to stop me from buying any of that land," Arthur said with a wry smile as he gently flipped to the next page of his book.
"Does that mean you can't go anymore?" Evolon asked, curiosity piqued.
"Nope," Arthur shook his head decisively. "I can't let such a massive opportunity slip into someone else's hands while I just sit back and watch."
"Sir, you do realize you already have the biggest piece of the pie, right?" Evolon chimed in.
Arthur's lips twitched in amusement as he chose to ignore Evolon's comment. "Even though I won't attend myself, I'll send someone in my place. He should be arriving shortly."
Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Speaking of the devil, here he is!" Arthur grinned. "Come in!"
The door swung open to reveal a bespectacled man clad in a crisp black suit. He looked about thirty, young and handsome, with a tall and slender build that radiated success.
"Greetings, Family Head," he bowed respectfully upon entering.
Arthur nodded, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. "Ethan, I have an important task for you."
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "I need you to attend a secret auction tonight at 8:00 PM. They're auctioning off 500 plots of land, twenty of which are crucial for us. You must secure those no matter what."
With that directive hanging heavily in the air, Arthur slid a small box toward Ethan.
Ethan opened it to find an exquisite diamond-crusted bank card featuring the Panterra National Bank logo alongside an advanced-looking phone.
"This card holds 5 trillion Unicreds and the phone contains all the details about the auction," Arthur explained. "Evolon has already generated your invitation; no one will suspect you."
"I won't let you down," Ethan replied seriously.
"Good! You can head out now." With a wave of his hand, Arthur dismissed him.
Ethan bowed once more before exiting the office building.
