35 Chapter 35

/////////////////

Leon was tired. Dead tired. It took willpower, it took drive, and a hell of a lot of patience but he managed to pass the test.

Those weren't women they were more like succubus that sucked him dry. Not in the literal sense but more mental.

" Ughhhh, let's just go to sleep. I'm too tired to watch any Light Net videos. I'll just head to sleep now I guess."

Leon then closed his eyes not even changing his clothes or tucking himself in. After 5 minutes the sound of rhythmic breathing could be heard as Leon fell asleep.

If Leon had been awake he would have Probably noticed the light glowing box in his wardrobe and the humming sound that it was producing.

In the wardrobe, there were most of Leon's clothes but there was also something else. It looked to be a present. But the wrapping was old and torn in places.

This was none other than the present Leon was gifted when he had turned 1 year old and was given a set of strange instructions to open it when he turned 6 years old.

But Leon had completely forgotten about it and it has been collecting dust for the past 7 years. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to be normal considering that the metal container was glowing a neon Blue. Unfortunately, Leon wasn't awake to see it.

{Next morning: Breakfast}

Leon had woken up early in the morning and did his breathing exercises and Yoga poses that he was taught yesterday, then he went to go brush his teeth before heading to the banquet hall to eat breakfast.

Beatrix was already there when he arrived drinking her tea while also looking over some documents. Lucia was standing right behind her like always. If she wasn't on a task or taking care of me she was beside Beatrix.

"A good morning to you young master, I hope you had a good night's rest." Lucia was the first one to greet me while Beatrix slowly put her drink down.

His mother was wearing a more formal business attire and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. It wasn't that she needed them but they were just there for decoration and reading speed.

They weren't normal glasses but information perception glasses, that uploaded key details of a document or any mistakes that it could have.

So basically an advanced stylish spell checker.

" Good morning Leon, I hope you had a good rest, I had heard from the maids that after yesterday's lesson with Mia and Lea that you were walking back to your room like a zombie." She said with a knowing look in her eyes.

' And who's fault is that. You didn't even give me a warning.' He looked at her and glared but she just gave him an innocent look that said 'Whatever could you mean.'

" My night was fine, thanks for asking. What's for breakfast By the way." He asked taking his seat right beside his mother.

" The chefs have made some Blue Berry pancakes with a Fruit bowl, some freshly made Shi long tea, and the dish the young master had made for the chefs a Minced meat and bacon Omlet." Lucia introduced all the food items on the table.

Leon had noticed that there were a lot of similar dishes from his earth in Ceilo but there was also stuff missing like pizza, Omelets, or even pancakes.

He really missed those things so he taught the chefs how to make them. They were amazed by my creativity and asked how I thought of these dishes when I had never stepped into the kitchen. I just made up an excuse and from that day forward they thought I was a genius cook.

"Leon there's something I need to discuss with you." Beatrix suddenly said as Leon was mid-way through his breakfast.

"Mhh, what is it." He asked nervously if it had something to do with the lesson from yesterday.

" As you well know where a well of House and that isn't just because we are nobles but because we have a lot of businesses all around Ceilo and other Solar systems.

And one day I'll need to step down, and it will be your duty to take over the Eragon Business empire.

So before I think you are in any way ready I have a task for you. But ill say this before anything else, if you were to fail then ill have a hard time believing I can pass this all onto you.

If you chose to accept it, starting next year ill give you a small loan of one million credits every month for 2 years. So that's 26 million credits.

That's all I will give you, and starting from that point, whether it be food, pleasure, or items that you want to buy, I won't give you anything else besides that 1 million A month. But my task for you in those 5 years is I want you to try and 5 times that 26 million and turn it to 130 million.

It doesn't matter how you do it as long as you're able to present me with 130 million in 5 years then I can start training you to take on our business and ill even grant you 1 request, whatever it may be ill see to it that it's done."

Leon was shocked. That's impossible can I even do something like that, if I had that kind of talent I wouldn't have been so poor in my last life.

" Before I answer can I ask what suddenly brought this on?" He was confused but he didn't reject the challenge she offered and if she could really grant any 1 request of mine then...

Beatrix crossed her arms under her bussom and stared at Leon seriously" It isn't sudden, when I was around your age my mother also gave me and my sisters this very same assignment. We were each given 26 million and we had to try and 5 times it by the end of the 5 years limit. Whoever completed the task would inherit the business.

"H-how did you do. Did you pass?" Leon asked considering his mother was commanding the business she must have won...right?"

" It was 39." She said with a straight face.

But Leon was already frozen in shock. Did she just say 39 as in she made 39 million?

"So you made 39 million in those 5 years." He asked hoping that is what she meant.

" No, I timesed that money my mother gave me by 39." She said casually but Leon was already in la la land. Thinking about it that was over...1 billion credits. Or to be more exact 1,014,000,000, in just 5 years when she was his age.

If he remembered correctly the fastest billion ever made was from a guy named Jay Walker, he also took a year.

'His mother was a monster.'

"What about your sisters." He asked knowing he might not get an answer as he already knew his mother had siblings but they weren't on good terms.

" They failed, The younger one blew her money in a week partying and the other only managed to make 107 million. So I won." There was an arrogant undertone in her voice when she said that." So do you want to accept this challenge, but do not feel any pressure to accept."

Leon thought about it for a second. Millions of thoughts and ideas were running through his mind on how he could make 104,000,000 in 5 years. He seemed to have thought of a few things and smiled.

He opened his eyes and stared at his mother's golden eyes. He lifted his arm for a handshake and Beatrix smiled and took it and the two shook on it.

"I accept." He said with confidence. Come hell or high water, he will succeed.

"Then I wish you luck my son, oh and if you were to fail, that's 1 year's worth of Lucias Special training."

"Good luck young master." Lucia also smiled but it didn't feel comforting in the slightest.' And where the hell did you get that whip Lucia, stop stroking it like you're going to be using it soon.'

" Oh and well done in yesterday's test. Mia and lea said you did a really good job for your first Session. So as I reward you can ask me for two things."

" Anything???" Leon was surprised, he wasn't expecting to receive a reward.

"Yes...anything within certain limits." She said.

"In that case my first request is..."
