Chapter 49

Days started passing by quickly after that peculiar day of sneezing. I was certain that someone had been talking about me, a lot. Anyway, the following months flew by, and I could barely feel them.

Now, onto the important matters. Rin had developed enough social skills and social intelligence to interact with other people without them having doubts about her identity.

Apart from that, I was visiting her every other day, teaching her about Ninjutsu, and I even bought her a cultivation method. Since chakra was a mix of physical and spiritual energy, a cultivation method helped increase it. I also noticed that, despite being in the Qi refinement stages, her quirk improved with her physique, allowing her to do new things, such as control her power. She could control how many hours she could see someone's future, even hers, and she didn't need to touch the person to see their future from a third-person perspective.

It meant that quirks would be worth more money in the system now.

Some may think I was wasting resources on a human that I made based on Night Eye's genes. 500,000 coins, which could amount to 150 million dollars. But that was cheap compared to her golden eyes.

On the other hand, I reached the 7th level of the Earth realm, and I'm one step away from breaking into a heroic rank. It seemed that by the end of the final exams, I'd have power like none other. Of course, at school, I kept this hidden and continued to pretend that I was at my previous level, even though I had become three times as powerful.

I typed this as I looked at my new laptop before closing it. My company request had been approved, and in a few days, I'd announce it to the public.

My phone buzzed. I recognized the notification sound.

I vanished and reappeared next to my phone.

I read it.

("Your position has been closed. +$20 million")

Thanks to Rin, I managed to collect enough capital, nearly 50 million. The speed at which I was earning money was being manipulated by me. I had made a few losses on purpose. The last thing I wanted was to alert the people at the top. So, I had to make it seem natural.

I also received an email. It listed the stocks that were going to soar this week, and it would be good to buy them.

'With 50 million dollars as capital, I can start buying stocks and properties under the name of the company.' I thought. 'I need to employ people, and the best person to be my CEO would be Rin.'

Speaking of Rin, she had learned that people in this world didn't know anything about cloning, and that she should keep that hidden. With the money I had now, I could buy her a legal identity by paying some tycoon who had influence on politicians.

Since it was the weekend, I could conduct my business freely. I left my house, took a cab, and went to my warehouse nearby. I then entered stealthily.

The warehouse was full of clothes and felt more like a feminine house.

Rin was in the middle, lying on the bed, watching TV with her legs crossed. She was wearing shorts.

She didn't seem to notice me coming in. That's bad. She could be assaulted by some stealth expert even after all the training I gave her. But I didn't think that most people could sneak like I could. Still, it was unacceptable.

"Rin," I called as I walked to her, making my steps as audible as possible.

She sat up from the bed, looked at me, and smiled brightly. To her, I seemed to be the only family she had in this world. Although she was a clone, she was still a human. And our species had a biological longing for something called family. No man/woman was an island.

Running to me, she jumped and hugged me strongly with a bear-like force.

"Ken. I was waiting for you," said Rin.

I looked behind her, to see that she was watching a K-Drama. A boy and a girl crying, rain dropping, and sad music being played while the camera moved in slow motion. 'You're my everything…'

"Rejoice." I wrapped my arm around her waist and lifted her high.

"Is there some good news?" she said, opening her eyes widely while looking at the ground.

"Today, we'll get you an identity," I spoke.

"Oh, so you've contacted him," Rin said, her fear of being lifted replaced by both shock and happiness. I thought that she had anticipated this moment.

Because of her abiltiy, she had managed to gather information on potential identity brokers. After many months, she'll receive information that a certain tycoon was providing this service for a full 7 million dollars. But thanks to the future vision, she could get that information now.

What was unique about him was that the identity he could provide was totally legal.

He also had enough influence on the Hero Public Safety Commission. Even the heroes couldn't arrest him or investigate his criminal activity. Because if they did, not only would he fall, but many members of the Hero Commission would also fall, and they couldn't even assassinate him. If there was someone I wanted to be like in the future, it would be him.

I know, this world had some corruption. But so what? It was the lesser evil. Other than that, we had the choice of living in a wasteland.

Most people think that the truth would save them. The truth was, there was no way to save yourself.

"Yes," I nodded as I put her down.

"So, I'll be moving in with you?" she asked, cheeks turning red.

"Yes, once we buy a mansion. Now, will you become the CEO of my new company?"

"Yes," she said, crying, acting like a girl being proposed to in some drama.

"That's my girl," I said, sighing heavily.

I could now leave the investment to her, just after I teach her how to deal with big money in the market. After all, the bigger your money, the longer you have to wait for your trading request to be fulfilled. That's why most banks and institutes would break their positions into smaller parts.

Still, I'd have a passive income now.

The next day.

I looked at a building on the edge of Musutafu City, 10 stories high. I had bought the building, and it was the official office. It cost me around 30 million dollars. A good investment.

The name of the company was Snake Bio Tech, named after my business partner in another dimension.

Rin was standing next to me, still looking at her ID card. It had her name as Rin, no family name. Her age was 20, which seemed to be accurate.

"It's not going to vanish, you know?" I said.

"I know," she shook her head, "let's go inside."

Once we got in, we arrived at the top floor.

Rin got into her office. There was a PC with a large screen that displayed a large graph.

On the screen, there was the company name with an account of 5 million.

"Can I trust you with this?" I said, pointing to the money chiffer.

"Do you want me to tell you the future?"

"Show me instead," I said, smiling with a calm face that concealed my blazing excitement underneath.

"Come back in a week," she said with a tone full of confidence.
