My successor

If a big fish wants to shoulder her worries, it is great. She will sit down and gain 93% of the mine profits. Just like that. Plus, the fish will strictly adhere to the building requirements of Saphila. This was a good deal thorough and thorough. She has to celebrate it. Aurora celebrated it too. There was also an option to retain her mining company rights after twenty years of great service, plus an increase in their share of the mine profits to the range of 10–15%.

Who would not love this deal? Mind you that other regions will not grant mining profit to the mine companies in excess of more than ten percent. It was never heard of on Blue Planet.

With a goal at hand, Aurora focuses on the business empire to open while waiting for the vast development of the Saphila South region to knock at her door. Many great business leaders saw this opportunity too late. Aurora had purchased the best resource region. 

Yet they snapped the remaining regions. Generating profits for the Elaine government. The profits were quickly directed to their original territory blueprint development plan.

...

Six months later,

Elaine's big tummy is showing serious evidence of sex. She had three more months to deliver her baby girl. The gene enhancer shot that had been administered elongated her life expectancy and that of her daughter to five hundred years.

Her physique improved drastically, especially her brain. She understood she was no longer a base human but a high human. All this is great news, especially her flushing territory. The initial target of twenty-something trillions of blue currency has been achieved. All her territory projects are in full gear.

There was also territory excess wealth to the tune of 135 trillion blue currency, which she had diverted today to her territory science and technology, agriculture, electricity, exploration, and much more development stuff.

Most of her focus is on the science and technology section. They received a whopping sum of 50 trillion of blue currency to research military and territory hardware.

Yet, she didn't complain. She knew she would reap the profit in years to come.

Now, there are barely 25 trillions of reserved funds. Five will belong to the populace for easy loans and to create wonders in her territory. Also, she planned to support the growing number of single entrepreneurs in her territory.

She was sitting in her study chair. The late Granny held this precious chair as her dearest during her alive days. It was what they told her; she never witnessed it.

As she was relaxing, a holographic image of the dead granny, the progenitor of Saphila territory, appeared.

Bringing a message of its own.

A quick but meaningful message that will help Elaine fund and support the exploration of her other region and bring them under her control within twenty years.

"WHOEVER THIS IS... MY STUPID DESCENDENT OR THE WISE STRANGER WHO BEST MY DESCENDENT. YOU HAVE RENOVATED TEN PERCENT OF SAPHILA CONTINENT. YOU HAVE EARNED ACCESS TO ALL MY LIFE TREASURES IN EXCHANGE TO COMPLETE MY DREAM. I SHOULD BE DEAD IF THIS MESSAGE IS PLAYING. SO THE TREASURES SHOULD NOT BE BURIED. USE THE TREASURES TO BUILD SAPHILA TO BE THE BEST CONTINENT OF BLUE PLANET.

CLICK THE BUTTON AT THE BACK OF THIS MY FAVOURITE SEAT TO UNLOCK A HIDDEN DOOR. THE PASSWORD TO OPEN THE SECRET DOOR IS (****). CLAIM THE FIRST INHERITANCE. LEAVE WHEN YOU GOT EVERYTHING AND RETURN WHEN YOU HAVE RENOVATED TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE SAPHILA REGION TO CLAIM THE NEXT INHERITANCE.

SO LONG, MY SUCCESSOR. LET US BUILD THE GREATEST CONTINENT OF ALL TIME."

The hologram vanished as soon as it delivered its message. Leaving the dumbstruck Elaine speechless. It took some good seconds for her to recollect herself.

"Granny, treasures are real and not a fable. The reason people believed it was a fable was because conditions have to be fulfilled to have a lead to her treasure depots." Elaine spoke deeply to herself, but in a low voice.

Since she has unlocked the first mysterious treasure of late Granny, it will be a disservice not to pick up the bag of gold and fulfill both her wish and that of late Granny. She searched for the unlocked button hidden in her chair. She found it in a very hidden location where anyone would easily neglect it.

She pressed the button, and a door was opened behind her. It was a heavily lit pathway with fluorescent light and some drawn lines of green neon light, indicating she was safe to pass.

An adventure thrill Elaine would not miss this obvious adventure. She had been bored for a while due to her pregnancy and her protruding stomach. Though she was filled with strength because of the special genetic enhancer that was regularly injected into her blood stream every month.

Yet, she would rather not take chances and allow anything to befall her unborn baby girl. So, she had been extra careful these months. Always watching out for her steps.

Now, a thrilling adventure she can't miss is beckoning for her. She was going to explore it to obtain riches. Or she would hold thoughts of it being a flashy light path leading somewhere.

Nay! she believed it a treasure depots here she can get a territory boost pack to fund numerous project that had been highlighted. She took her first step towards the bright path and then another step.

She could not stop anymore as she headed deeper into the lit, fluorescent path. She arrived at an open, wide room, or rather, a hall. Whatever it is, we should know that it resembles those ancient, wide libraries of great kings. No, it is an ancient library setting of great kings filled with all manner of books.

Books! They have slowly been phased out, but they still exist. They were arranged in columns and rows with numbers mixed with the alphabets on the shelf. They were for the easy identification of certain books.

On the left side from the entrance path were a set-up reading table and chair. Made from well-preserved mahogany wood. A book was opened as if someone had previously read it before they left for some urgent matters.

She walked towards the open book and noticed the latest generation of quantum laptop next to the book. In the open book was something that seemed to be, looked to be, or was seriously a password for unlocking the quantum laptop. She studied the password and then switched on the quantum laptop.

She had to test her conjecture. Maybe she was wrong, but her inner consciousness was telling her that she was damn right.

It booted within two seconds and required her to input a password. She typed in the password on the book, and hola, the laptop was unlocked. It was requesting the registration of her biometrics, DNA, optical capture, and several other password protection things.

Elaine was finally done after a few minutes. Granny I.D. was swapped to hers, and the quantum laptop opened the home desktop. A single file was pasted on the desktop along with the required files seen at every start-up of a system.

In a bid to control the mouse, she noticed a solid-state quantum SSD, popularly referred to as a quantum hard drive. Was it there before? She just could not tell but was interested in whatever was saved on this nice, solid-state quantum hard drive.

She inserted the drive into the quantum laptop left by the late Granny. It was still the same file with the filename 'Saphila'. Elaine clicked on the file, and a massive PDF file was open. It has about 72GB of memory.

What is the concept of a 72-GB PDF file? All records, bank details, and deeds and contracts of subsidiary businesses that are located in powerful territories. Proof of ownership: ghost accounts with countless zeros of bank numbers that were owned by the late Granny from all the existing continents. There was a separate deed of agreement next to the 72GB PDF files. A documented and a signed 'WILL' which states both in video and written records that she was transferring all her life inheritance to Elaine, who inherited Saphila.
