They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System-Chapter 380: THREE in existence!
Chapter 380: THREE in existence!
"Duke Tinrin’s wealth is legendary, giving away a piece of land like that says a lot."
"Looks like he’s staking his claim early in Somto’s reign."
The livestream exploded with reactions:
LoyalistQueen: "Whoa, that’s a massive gift! Somto’s kingdom is about to get even bigger!"
CautiousObserver: "Tinrin’s smile says he expects something in return. This isn’t just generosity, it’s politics."
NobleGossip: "I bet this estate comes with powerful allies inside. Tinrin’s playing the long game."
A tall, dignified servant approached, bowing slightly before carefully accepting the scroll case from Duke Tinrin. He carried it with reverence, placing it on a velvet cushion beside the throne.
Somto’s eyes met the duke’s for a brief moment. Without words, the slow nod he gave was clear, appreciation and acknowledgment of the weight this gift carried.
A subtle shift stirred the air as the next guest stepped forward. The tall, sharply dressed man in a sleek modern suit seemed out of place amid the traditional robes and ceremonial garb, yet no one dared to underestimate his presence.
CEO Rory, head of Sunlight group of companies and one of the most influential tech tycoons on the continent, smiled as he approached the dais, a slim, silver case in his hands.
The murmurs started instantly, first among the elite guests, then rippling to the rest of the crowd like a wave of electricity.
"That’s Rory. Sunlight group of companies Rory."
"No way... Is that the prototype?"
"Why is a corporate giant giving the king a gift?"
"Heh, guess he’s trying to stay in the king’s good books. That’s smart politics."
Online, the comment section exploded:
@TechOracle: Is that the Mirage Core device?! No way! There are only THREE in existence!
@FutureFlame: He’s not just flexing, he’s offering Somto a technological alliance! Damn, this coronation’s got everything!
@GadgetGeek101: I’d marry Rory for that device, don’t test me.
@LolitaQueen: This is giving cyberpunk fantasy, and I am LIVING for it.
CEO Rory stopped a respectful distance from the new king and gave a courteous bow. His tone was smooth, measured, but every word felt intentional, tailored with the precision of a man who never let anything slip by accident.
"Your Majesty," he began, "this is a small token from Sunlight group of companies, our latest innovation, not yet released to the world. A tool of limitless communication, discreet defense, and personal convenience.
It’s designed only for the most secure individuals. May it serve you as a silent ally in the shadows where power must often walk alone."
His voice rang clear across the hall, and for a moment, even the soft murmuring stilled. Guests leaned forward with gleaming eyes. A few nobles subtly glanced at each other, some even visibly clenching their jaws in envy.
Somto said nothing, but his gaze flicked briefly to the case before returning to Rory’s face. He gave a small nod.
The servant beside him stepped forward and received the case from Rory with practiced grace, carefully bowing before retreating to the side where other gifts were being stored.
CEO Rory offered a smile, confident, but not smug. There was a quiet satisfaction in his eyes, like a man who knew he had just made a long term investment in something far greater than profit.
The guests whispered excitedly among themselves.
"A tech alliance with Sunlight group of companies? That’s no joke."
"First rare spices, now this? Somto’s collecting power in every form."
"Even the corporations are bending the knee. He’s no ordinary king."
The livestream comment section was equally chaotic:
@NobilitySpillTea: The crown’s got flavor AND software now. What’s next, a dragon?
@CyberKnight69: Smart kings collect soldiers. Smarter kings collect tech.
@RoyalCrush: The way he just SAT THERE like a boss? King Somto got that main character energy.
@DramaDuchess: My man Rory said, "Welcome to the future, your Majesty." And I felt that.
Even those who didn’t understand the full implications of the gadget could sense the significance from everyone else’s reactions.
As CEO Rory stepped aside, murmurs still hung thick in the air. But the next line of guests brought a new kind of tension, sharper, glinting with the weight of gold and ambition.
Three more CEOs, each a titan in their own right, moved forward side by side, the flicker of confidence gleaming in their eyes.
There was Chairman Odema of Argus Freight & Logistics, Madame Elira of SkyHex Pharmaceuticals, and finally, Leon Vargas of the Nova Communications Consortium. Between them, they controlled empires worth billions.
The atmosphere shifted.
A businessman’s smile curled on Leon’s lips as he spoke first, "Your Majesty, in recognition of your ascension and in full faith in your reign, I present to you ten percent equity in Nova Communications, an investment in peace, progress, and partnership."
Gasps rippled across the room.
Madame Elira stepped up next, her voice refined yet resonant. "From SkyHex Pharmaceuticals, five percent equity and lifetime patent rights to our next generation healing serums. May your rule be long and your people, ever healthy."
Chairman Odema rounded off with the grounded confidence of a man used to moving mountains. "Argus Freight offers fifteen percent of our international holdings, in hopes that your vision extends far beyond borders."
All three stepped back with synchronized grace as high ranking servants stepped forward, collecting ornate leather bound folders containing the legal papers, each sealed with embossed crests and wax insignias.
Somto nodded once, calm, composed, but the glint in his eyes couldn’t be hidden.
Reactions hit instantly, both offline and online
Guests whispered fiercely:
"Shares? Equity? These aren’t gifts, these are power moves!"
"They’re securing favor before someone else does."
"Elira gave patent rights? That’s unheard of!"
"Somto hasn’t even been crowned long, and he’s already richer than some nations!"
Livestreamers practically screamed in the comment thread
@InvestorDream: DID SHE SAY PATENT RIGHTS? THIS IS ROYAL STOCK MARKET WEALTH!
@CrownCrush: This man is becoming a king, a general, AND now a corporate god? SOMTO FOR KING OF THE CONTINENT.
@SpillTheNobleTea: They’re not just backing him, they’re betting on him.
