An Almighty System From On High

Chapter 18

“Thank you for the invitation letter, Mr. Amos. I’ll see you at the auction.”

“Great. See you then. Mr. Higgins.”

“Okay. See you next week.”

Adrien left the trading hall and got back to his Bentley car. He was smiling.

Tm impressed, Mr. Higgins.” Darcy complimented Adrien sincerely..

“That was nothing Adrien smiled. “Darneil, let’s go to Blackpool Shopping Mall. I need to buy a watch.”

“Yes, Mr. Higgins.”

A piece of news hit Reburg in the afternoon!

Lilianne stared at the news and said, “What? Orchard Apartment, the largest shabby house in Reburg, will be demolished, and 6,300 households will be relocated!”

“Ms. Olson! Didn’t Mr. Higgins purchase that land? Wow, he will earn a fortune!”

“Yeah, he will!” Lilianne realized that she had underestimated Adrien. She suddenly recalled what she had said to Adrien when he bought the houses. Lilianne had been obstructive all this time, but Adrien had everything under control. She felt ashamed of her shortsightedness.

Just as Lilianne was immersed in her own thought, someone barged in.

“Bad news, Ms. Olson!” Nicole, the director of the Trade Department, entered in panic..

“What’s up?”

“Ms. Olson, the two cargo ships loaded with the goods we bought from Ocasta Country sank in the Eden Ocean. Our direct loss will be over 300 million dollars!”

“What? How did it happen?”

“It’s true! We just got the information. The marine bureau is already investigating the shipwrecks, there seem to be casualties. this time. We usually purchase a large quantity of goods from overseas in one go and then supply them to other places. Now that the goods are gone, how will we make money? Plus, we got those 300 million dollars from the bank!”

“Celia, go to the Accounting Department and check how much cash we have in our corporate account! Contact all the media, and stop them from reporting it!”

“Yes, Ms Olson!”

“Nicole, follow up on the shipwreck accident! Find out the cause and see if we can salvage the wreck. We must reduce our loss as much as possible!”

“Yes, Ms. Olson!”

Nicole and Celia left Lilianne sat in the chair, unable to think!

Adrien and his men bought a dark blue Vacheron Constantin watch at the Blackpool Shopping Mall. Adrien had 150 thousand dollars endowed by the System in his bank cart. However, that wasn’t enough to buy the watch. He had to draw some money from the Treasury Bank.

Adrien sat in the backseat of his Bentley car with his new watch on his wrist and listened to the System prompt!

“Ding! You have reached the standard for upgrading, Host. The System will be upgraded to level 4. It will take a few minutes to upgrade. Please wait a moment. The System is being upgraded now…

Sylvia saw a piece of news. The ships that carried goods imported by Corestar Trading Company, a subsidiary company of the Corestar Group, sank in the Eden Ocean. The company would suffer a direct loss of 300 million dollars. Sylvia wanted to tell Adrien about the news, but Adrien seemed to be sleeping. Darcy and Sylvia thought he must be tired now. Therefore, they didn’t disturb Adrien

However, as the president of Corestar Group, Mr. Higgins seemed to have no idea what had happened. That news only appeared for a second and was gone!

They had no choice but to wait and tell Mr. Higgins when he woke up.

“Ding! The System has upgraded to level four!”

“Ding! Host’s Reburg bank account has received seven million dollars.”

Adrien checked the System Control Panel. He was happy to see more keys available! Besides the keys of Predictions, Blessing, and Skills he previously unlocked, a new key of Raffles could be used now!

I have a question, System. I didn’t even use the function keys of Blessing and Predictions when it was level 3. Why can’t I use them now?” Adrien noticed a problem.

“Ding! I didn’t expect you to be so good at predicting, Host. Thus, if you don’t use the function keys in time, you won’t be able to use them later.”

“What the hell: Why didn’t you tell me before?”

“Please watch your language, Host.”

“Fine!”

Adrien opened his eyes sullenly.

“How are you holding up, Mr. Higgins?” Sylvia thought Adrien was upset because he had discovered what had happened in his company.

“I’m okay, just a bit tired. What’s up. Sylvia?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“I just learned some news about your Corestar Group, Mr. Higgins. However, the news was gone now. I supposed someone retracted it

“What is it?”

“A subsidiary company of Corestar Group, Corestar Trading Company, has imported goods worth 300 million dollars and put them on two cargo ships, but they sank in the Eden Ocean. The direct loss will be 300 million dollars, and the money was a loan from the bank. Therefore, the related company will suffer even more loss.”

Adrien listened silently and thought of Lilianne suddenly.

“Don’t worry Lilianne will take care of it. If she can’t handle it, she will come to me.”

“Okay, Mr. Higgins. Are we heading home?”

“Yes. I need to rest for a while.”

Adrien had been busy all day. He barely checked his phone. It was almost 3 o’clock in the afternoon when Adrien finished predicting and sending the message to the WhatsApp Then, he logged in to his account and checked. Everything went as he expected.
