MTLNOVEL Chapter 129: Next Step?
[Task #01 Completed as The Dominus!]
[You have gained 50 Billion Dollars!]
[Due to completing the additional task, your rewards have been doubled to 100 Billion Dollars.]
[Due to The Dominus maintenance effect, your reward has been multiplied by 2. You have gained 200 Billion Dollars. It will be transferred to your Ultimate Account!]
[Ultimate Account Balance: 430 Billion Dollars.]
Jayden received this notification shortly after the task was completed.
He had already defeated King Arthur and driven him out of office, and the additional task was to take the President post for himself.
That was the good thing in it, as it had earned him an extra fifty billion dollars, which was multiplied to a hundred.
Jayden heaved a satisfied sigh.
...
/After a long while of rest, they moved on to the next step.
"Now that we have a whole nation to rule, we have to step up," Jayden began. "We will create a new law for the military and all armed forces. The tourists, the finances, everything."
"Nortasia is in our hands, and everything that happens within the country is our responsibility."
"Harper, I want you to build a strong workforce. One that the world has never seen."
Harper gave a shaky yet playful nod.
"Paula, you are urged to craft the greatest of engines and mechs."
Paula responded strongly as well.
"Charlotte, more of your masterpieces will be needed. Nortasia is lagging behind in tech, mech, and warfare when it comes to comparison with other countries outside the continent. We must rise if we want to face any future controversies."
"At your service, my love," Charlotte saluted and said.
Some of the ladies gave a cold look, which she noticed and chuckled. "Sorry, heh."
Those playful approaches didn't mean a thing to Jayden. He knew what Charlotte Nike was capable of, so he wouldn't worry.
Becky, Temi, and Camilia were given the softest but more intellectual jobs.
Camilia, as usual, would just be like the President's assistant. Not officially Vice President, but she had the most diplomatic job.
"We are joining the Alliance to prevent any conflicts, which King Arthur had foolishly been putting on himself. You will always be my representative and will have my opinion stand out in any meeting I'm not attending. That way, this nation can grow," Jayden told Cammy.
"Becky, you are for the people. You'll have to use your influential aura to captivate them, which would lead to a decrease in illegal acts and uphold unity. Aside from that, I'm in full support of your music career," he smiled.
Becky nodded with an excited smile, reacting positively to his command.
And lastly was Temi.
The General Information Chief.
"You—"
"I know my job," she interrupted. "I mean, it's the easiest job around here, so yeah... I got it."
Jayden gave her a sharp look and nodded. "Okay, then."
When they were done with their meeting, Jayden was about to head out when Camilia ambushed and dragged him into her room.
"When last did you have a taste of me?" she asked as she gasped.
"Insanely long," Jayden responded with his eyes glinting.
"Then why are you still staring? Do you want to... Ahh..."
Before she could even finish her statement, Jayden threw himself at her.
---
A dull-faced man walked alone on the streets, his footsteps faint, seemingly like he had no exact destination in mind.
"The company was taken away."
"The houses, the cars... The money."
"Everything."
"I have nothing left, and I am beginning to starve."
That man's name is Royce. The young man who had just been cast away from paradise and was now in ruins.
"No one would want to help. It's like everyone wants me to die," Royce muttered.
The truth was that no one would want to help him out after hearing the truth about everything.
Even without Jayden daring everyone not to render help to any of the Kingsleys, no one in their sane minds would be willing to.
Their evil had just been too much.
Royce would have to accept that fact and grab survival himself.
...
He was lying by the roadside one night. It was his second day sleeping in the streets without having anything to eat...
However, a certain thought then slipped into his head.
"Richy... Richy. How did I forget him?" he asked himself and quickly stood up.
It was quite a long distance to Richy's house, but what could he do? He remembered that Richy was lodging in one apartment for the meantime after having a slight beef with his father.
Royce had actually pushed him to do that, and now, he hoped he would meet Richy there before he starved to death.
Before he could get there, it was already around 10 PM.
He went ahead to knock on the door, wrapping his body with his arms because of the cold.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
It took a while before someone opened up.
All his hopes were that Richy was the one at the door, and he quickly went straight to complaining about everything.
"Richy. Mehn, I have a lot to—"
Royce froze immediately as he raised his head to see who was at the door.
His eyes widened at once.
"Mia???"
There, he saw his girlfriend right in front of him, eyes wide as they both froze.
Then in a moment, Richy stepped out and noticed Royce.
He froze too, but shrugged in a moment and appeared to maintain a bold stance.
"Ahem..." That was Richy's first reaction.
Mia had to scratch the back of her head.
"You... You are cheating on me with my best friend?" Royce asked, his voice fierce.
"Isn't it what it seems like, friend?" Richy cut in, his voice sharp.
Royce flinched.
The once respectful and fearful Richy was talking to him this way?
"Look at you, man. You have nothing left. We all heard about what happened... How Jayden exposed your so-called powerful father. You don't even deserve to live anymore," Richy added.
"And he's such a mess," Mia suddenly said, giving Royce a disgusting look that almost made him shrink at that point.
"Well, as you can see. She is mine now, just the way she was once another's. You are poor and helpless. You surely wouldn't afford to have her anymore," Richy said.
Royce broke down, not believing his eyes.
He had spent millions on this girl, only to get betrayed so quickly in the end?
"Now get the fuck outta here before I call security..."
"In fact... Security! Gregory Kingsley's son is here!"
That name alone turned out to trigger the entire security, as they rushed over and took it upon themselves to drag him out...
Throwing him out of the gate.
