"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr.Shen Yating," Wil disconnected the call and then, wrote a letter and stamp it with the seal while sitting in his office at Deloris town before sending his assistant to the prison to release the captured elites of Dreamwalkers.

"Hmm, it looks like he indeed can afford to pay such an amount, although I wonder why he didn't choose the second option. Anyway, it doesn't matter. White Tiger is almost finished by now…"

Wil then clicked on Shadow Blade in his Friends list and send a message.

Time Traveler: Aster, how things are going with Heibei Corp?

Shadow Blade: We got the list from Ms. Long Jing in exchange for the director position at our SGC. Our boys are currently in talks with them. Until now, our total shares in the company increased to 33%. By the evening, we can take over it. Meanwhile, Lu Heibei invested 50 million into the company, trying to bring stability.

Time Traveler: Looks like Wen did her job. It's our time to hold our promise and finish the deal at our end. Inform her, Mr. Jordon will talk to the Bank manager about their loan. If necessary, put our company name as the guarantor. It's just 200 million dollars, nothing much to think about it.

Shadow Blade: Understood, Young Master.

After things with Looking at the account balance in his personal account, Wil widely smiled with satisfaction, "10 Billion dollars... Combining Dad's account in Federation Bank, it'll be 26 Billion Dollars in total…

Just the interest alone will give 25 million dollars per week. Nah, let's just put dad's money away and keep a Billion as pocket money for myself. The remaining can be used to buy shares in companies like Zen, Artico, Rinert, etc…

The first thing I should do is to invest in Zen. Once their new OS hits the market, I'll be reaping billions of dollars in return. Come to think of it, they should still be a startup company at this time, right? Hmm… or is it last year? I should ask Aster to research about it, later."

Scarlet Gaming Corp., Ares city;

In the training room, more than a hundred trainees gathered before the trainer in two groups while ten elites are standing behind her.

Rachel clapped, "ok, your training week is finished as of now. Before we proceed, higher-ups want me to inform you guys about something.

All of you will start your work here. 91st to 110th floors are assigned including your lodging, gym, training rooms, entertainment zone, etc… And you are prohibited to roam outside of those floors.

If you wish to stay here, you can move in by Sunday evening or you can also stay outside if you wish for more freedom but no House rental allowance is provided.

Anyway, let's move on to the task. As I have mentioned before, those who got less scores in the interview can take this test and move up the grade. But I should warn you, though. If you take the test, you can even fall into a lower grade. So, think carefully before choosing." 

As everyone nodded seriously, Rachel then continued, "non-combat group. Your test will be conducted inside the game during the next week. So, you can relax for now. 

And Combat group, those who aren't ready to challenge this test, please go to the side and stand with them. You have ten minutes to think."

As a few people went to the side, giving up the test, a smile appeared on Rachel as she looked at the remaining 32 people, "there are more people than I expected. Okay, let me explain to you what the final test will be on.

You can see the ten people standing behind me, right? They'll be the ones who will fight against you. Each of them is an expert in each category. You are free to choose whether it's Archery, shooting, a direct brawl, weight lifting, etc… All you have to do is to win against them. That's all.

If you win or draw, then you will receive a positive score. If you lose, then, the challenge fails and you will receive a negative score. And that score will be added to your interview scores…

First, Thea… Step forward."

Yarlford City;

Unlike a typical day where everything is peaceful, this time, once again, the city has gone into unofficial lockdown as more than two dozen vehicles entered the city.

While some people closed their doors and hide in their houses in fear, some quickly rushed to the airport, bus, or railway station to get out of the city as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the others are getting ready to get into action in case a war should erupt between the two gangs.

While the police are busy keeping an eye on the Mansion for the same reason, two of the cars entered the compound, leaving the others outside.

In one of the cars, a 13-year-old girl tugged his sleeves in excitement, "mom, grandpa… we are here. Wow, I have never seen so many guards in my life. They have even more than us and more handsome."

"That's because they are scared of your grandpa," Ignoring her last comment, The 72-year-old man Dexter said with pride as he caressed her head lovingly with a smile but then, his smile froze as he heard the burly middle-aged man sitting in the front, saying, "Evie, don't believe grandpa. He is lying. It's because the Vulture gang is the strongest."

Instantly, the old man gave a good smack on his head, "you ungrateful rascal… How dare you undermine your dad... Would it kill you if you stay silent for a while? If you aren't interested, then, don't come with me."

"Hmpf, do you think I'm here for your stupid deal. If not for you kidnapping my daughter, I wouldn't even think of tagging along with you," replied the while folding his hands to the chest.

"Kidnap? She's my granddaughter, you f**k**g..."

"Father in law, language," interrupted a beautiful woman who looks like she's only in her late twenties even though she's in forties, "and you too honey, don't argue here. After all, we are in enemy territory."

Hearing her words brought the old man to his senses and remembered that a kid is sitting beside him. 

Dexter cleared his throat, "tell your husband to not open his mouth before that kid. This deal is extremely important to me. I won't forgive anyone if they mess it up, even if he's my son."

"Well, as long as Evie stays beside me," replied the son, shrugging his shoulders.

Just then, the guards opened the door for him, and he stepped outside the car before going through security checks. 

Stepping inside the Mansion, Dexter spoke to himself in his mind, "Father, after nearly half a century, this unfilial son of yours will finally reclaim our Antolov family's honor. The next step will be the destruction of the Federation and revive the Monarchism. Before that, I need to find that last living heir of the Tristan family.

As they took their seat and was served juice, "Where is your young master?" Dexter asked Silver who received them in place of Wil.

"He's still in the shower. We didn't expect you to arrive so early. Wait for a while," replied Silver indifferently; clearly intending he doesn't have any intention to play as a host.

Upon hearing him, as Dexter tightened his fist, and a frown appeared on his daughter-in-law, his son, on the other hand, lightly smiled while mumbling, "Serves him right. What he is expecting his enemies to do…"

Meanwhile, drinking the mango juice through the straw, the little girl looked around curiously and then, said to her dad, who was sitting beside her, "Dad, I like this house."

Upon hearing her comment, as Silver smiled, Dexter, on the other hand, replied, "Then, grandpa will buy it for you. How about it?"

Instantly, the smile on Silver froze and replaced with a frown. Just when he was about to reply, instead of words, a peal of stifled laughter escape from his mouth as the little continued, "Grandpa's house is also big but it's kinda gloomy like some Vampire's castle in the game."

Silver quickly turned around and controlled his laughter while the expression on Dexter changed.

"Isn't it? I knew Evie will always think like dad," replied her dad.

"Well, that was built several centuries ago, sweetie. It's where you're ancestors governed the entire western continent. You shouldn't call it like that. And honey, please stop refraining from…" As her mother tried to lecture both of them while Dexter was trying to control his temper, Silver glanced at them from the corner of his eyes and smiled in amusement, "the great Dexter Antolov who strike the fear even among the ministers of the government was getting roasted by his own son."

Right then, everyone heard the footsteps and turned their heads to the right to see Wil was climbing down the stairs in his casual wear. Looking at him, the little girl's eyes lit up in delight, "Wah, this big brother is also handsome…"

But, all of the sudden, they saw Wil stopped moving and stood in the middle of the stairs for a second with a surprised look before continuing to walk down…

"Hello there, Mr. Antolov. It's the third time we meet this week," commented Wil as he shook his hands with a smile.

"Well, I believe this is going to be the last time. So, no need to worry about meeting me again," replied Dexter and then pointed towards his family, "this is my daughter-in-law Jasmine, my eldest son Reuben, and this is my granddaughter, Evie."
