Problem resolution

✨ please, Take your time to read. ✨

Seeing Carmen's face full of my seed to the point where it spilled like glue and especially the corner of her lips, it was a bucket of cold water. I didn't know whether to be proud or apologize.

The lady began to hyperventilate and ran to the bathroom, she took a shower and went home, it was the most efficient and quick way to end a good adventure.

I stayed in bed pretending to sleep, When the lady came out, she grabbed her clothes and before leaving she said goodbye ⁓ "see you" ⁓

⁓"see you tomorrow"⁓ I answer, upon hearing my voice the lady stopped for a couple of seconds, then continued on her way.

Being alone and in silence several problems come to my mind regarding my fragility.

Not knowing how to defend myself, drive or trust to solve unexpected situations are things that money cannot solve and even if I have all the money in the world I still have a only one life.

It's not about being a hero either, but after thinking a bit I realize that everything would have been different if I were more attentive and stopped the couple of boys who were following me.

they would send more people, probably. but their bravery will have a cost or because the skulls do not kidnap the mayor's children, you will think because they are not idiots and it is not so.

They don't do it because the losses they will have are greater than their gains and it is very likely that they will be hunted for months because of the mayor's reputation or later nobody would respect him and they would take him as a clown throwing a tantrum.

In short, we need an example that instills respect and fear, to create a reputation that everyone knows that it was you, without proof that you did it.

Take out the smartphone and dial the grandmother's number. Two rings later Grandma's voice answers me. ⁓"Steve what's up"⁓

⁓ "how are you grandma, I'll call you for something special" ⁓ I answer.

⁓"Oh honey but it's a little late, besides tomorrow I have a meeting with the Winchesters and you don't want your grandmother's body to hurt right. Unless it's one of your deep massages I can get away for an hour or two"⁓ says me the grandmother.

⁓ "Grandma, I'm calling you for another matter" ⁓ I tell her between laughs.

Grandma's mischievous attitude changes immediately and she asks ⁓ "tell me what is it?" ⁓

⁓ "who are the best at collecting information in the city" ⁓ I ask.

⁓"That....Hump"⁓ Grandma snorts in disgust and adds. ⁓"There are three: there are the freeloaders, the homeless and the rats. Because needs information"⁓

⁓ "For the skulls, yesterday I had an incident with them, do you have their numbers or how do I contact them" ⁓ she asked.

⁓ "those damned who made you "⁓ asks the most annoying grandmother.

⁓ "Grandma, it's not necessary, it's something I need to figure out on my own."⁓ I tell her with an awkward smile.

my grandmother laughs out loud for several seconds. and she cuts her laugh telling me in a serious way. ⁓ "don't even dream you'd leave the family. I'm capable of going looking for you right now and giving you what you deserved damn brat. "⁓ the change in attitude continues to amaze me.

⁓ "As you think grandma, I just want to teach them a lesson, you know how to create a reputation and the next one will think twice before acting." ⁓ I answer as quickly as I could before grandma brings up the subject of family legacies.

⁓ "Oh that's why, I had already gotten up to go. Well I'll send you his contacts and when you finish playing call me. "⁓ says the grandmother calmer.

⁓"Okay, I thought you'd come over and I'd give you one of those one or two hour deep massages."⁓ I reply.

*Nnn* Grandma is heard thinking, but then she tells me in a nervous voice ⁓ "I need a little more time to fix a couple of things." ⁓

⁓ "Fine, call me when you're free, bye grandma" ⁓ I answer.

⁓"Bye Steve"⁓

Grandma ends the call. I wait a while for the contact information to arrive, I send a message to Stefany [ "you can send 5 trucks with sweets, rent all the stores in the building and fill everything with merchandise of different products or I also need fuel, a lot gas." ]

["what kind of products" ] answers Stefany

I am sending you a list of different products that you would find in department stores, 7-eleven, service station stores, Home Depot, glass or plastic bottles of different sizes, mostly 5-10 milliliters with their respective dropper.

While she added more products to the list, I received a message from Valery ["by the way, boss, the deposit of the first day's earnings is ready where he will take us to celebrate"]

["Oh, I see you need more celebration, you didn't have enough yesterday"] I reply, causing Valery to stop texting.

Stefany comes to the rescue of her colleague and sends me a message. ["boss, large companies want to pay for sweets with products, shares in the stock market, titles or properties and the government pays with raw materials such as wood, metals (gold, silver, bronze, steel, nickel, zinc.) diamonds, oil, weapons and ammunition. but they want a discount "]

After thinking about it, I send my answer [ "just make sure that things exist, designate the staff to verify that they are authentic and legal, without any type of problem or risk with auditors who try to be flexible and not demanding, give them alternatives, and with the government and large buyers. offer a 5% discount and if they protect shipments or stores give them the additional 15%" ]

["yes boss by the way the raw materials for sweets are threatening to go up but I think it only applies to us"] Stefany replies

I send a message to Valery [ "buy companies of basic products like wine, water, canned food, whoever wants to sell, do audits and whoever steals, throw it out to the others, doubles his salary. "] that reminded me of something important and I commented [ " by the way, hire more staff with 8-hour shifts and improve the facilities" ]

["Boss, we expanded the workforce, machinery and facilities 4 times and tomorrow we have to expand it two more times, we hired 1,000 extra trucks and we have to hire 3,500 more to have a base of 5,000 trucks, because we have to check records" ]

[ "Take it easy there are companies that are dedicated to hiring let me ask my family for the names of the companies, for transportation hire 10,000 trucks use helicopters or cargo planes this is only temporary since it stabilizes.. sales will drop suddenly that's why we need to have another type of product"]

["boss the trucks made 2 deliveries, there were 3000 trips throughout the day. each truck trip had 500 boxes and the box has 100 bags and the bag has 100 sweets. with the current capacity our waiting list increased to three months and We hope that in the next few days sales will increase by 500%"]

after doing quick math I stayed silent. and I say with fear ⁓ "15....15 thousand.....15 billion Digital Coin, in one day shi* it's all crazy. "⁓

Immediately I answer them [ "fine girls you have worked very well. when you arrive I will pamper you a little at home. your five helpers hire 5 helpers each and they, hire a team of 10 people to reduce the workload, when I have the information I'll send you a message... bye" ]

Stefany and Valery immediately reply ["understood"]

When I received the information from the grandmother, she also asked for information on companies to hire reliable personnel and ask for a couple of masseurs at home. ⁓ "What kind of masseuses do you want?".After yelling and having to clarify that the girls are not for me, the grandmother sent me the messages with the information.

With this resolved, I compare the three information seekers: the sparrows, the homeless, and the rats.

all three have their strengths and weaknesses, for example: sparrows are more professional and responsible in the search for information. but they lack the details and if you ask for that information, the price goes up to triple.

with the indigent there is more information but it is possible that they lie to get a little easy money

With the Rats it is different, they have information and it is reliable but, like the homeless, it is very likely that they will sell the information to your enemies. and knowing the skulls is an unnecessary risk.

According to the data, the sparrows are found to the east of the city in a tavern called El Nido, open from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am.

Being a new customer, I need to pay in advance anyway. I changed my clothes, I put on jean, a white shirt and a black leather jacket.

When leaving the penthouse there was a group of 5 people and only one raised his hand in greeting, I reciprocate the greeting and walk to the elevator after several uncomfortable seconds the doors open and I enter...seconds later the elevator doors close.

During this time I had felt their gazes as if they were analyzing me, it will be due to the video cameras installed by Valery.

When the doors opened, I wanted to take one of the cars out and put it in the parking lot. Come on, who doesn't like to show off one of these beauties, but I refrain from doing it since problems will knock on the door.

I turn my hand up and my smartphone appears as if by magic and I call a taxi, the service tells me that it will arrive in 30 min.

To pass the time, as a game, various weapons begin to appear in the palms of my hand from the 9mm, .38 squad, 45 squad, M18 squad and Beretta 93R. which by the way is my favorite with an ergonomic handle.

As time goes by the speed with which I change the weapons in my hand was faster and faster, but I stopped when the taxi appeared.

Before getting in the car, I looked at the man's forearms. I had to make sure I didn't make the same mistake twice. the driver was a 55-60 year old man with partly gray and curly hair, the man smiles at me and nods.

I greet him by raising an arm and the man also raises his arm in response. when i get closer he asks me. ⁓ "where he travels" ⁓

⁓ "to the Nido on the west side between the cathedral and Plaza Gil "⁓ I answer, the man nods and invites us to come up, I go in the back,

Along the way, the man was a good talker and asks me several subtle questions that he hides between the memories of his youth and the fun he had with his friends. a classic that never goes out of style in older people.

The trip lasted a mere 20min and cost 30dls. The man gave me his number for future trips and left me in front of an English-style bar that is on the edge of the street. a small place for 50 people, a bar and about 15 to 20 tables for four people.

the waiters wear a white polo shirt and black pants at the waist, a small black apron with three compartments.

I go straight to the bar before sitting down I order a beer without foam to the bartender with a shout. the subject looks at me and nods. he pours the beer and places it in front saying. ⁓"That'll be 10 plus tip." ⁓I pull out a 20 bill and put it on the bar next to the beer.

I felt several glances behind me. but I ignore them and slowly enjoy the beer, minutes later a visibly exhausted waiter approaches, sighs and mutters to me. ⁓ "What a pity about the inheritance. "⁓

I rolled my eyes and answered. ⁓"Not me. Less responsibilities and problems."⁓ Without changing his bored face, the guy just shrugged. but on my left side a girl comments to me. ⁓ "Your grandmother told us you were coming to visit." ⁓ I went back to see the girl and she's your typical waitress with blonde hair and a plastic visor on her forehead.

the girl smiles at me, she fixes her hair and puts it in her ear, with dreamy eyes she hands me a phone number and says with a gesture. ⁓"call me"⁓ winks at me. I grab the number and I disappear the paper pretending to put it in my pants pocket and answer. ⁓ "sure" ⁓ I do my business, I had two more beers before leaving where a taxi was waiting for me.

when uploading the guy asks me ⁓ "what are you looking for "⁓

I clear my throat and say ⁓ "all about the skulls" ⁓ I see the guy smile in the rearview mirror of the car. and he comments. ⁓ " Right now there are more than 3000 members who are having a hard . You need to be more specific. "⁓

I repeat my words again ⁓ "I want everything "⁓ the man stared at my face for several seconds and let out a sigh ⁓ "well, where am I taking you "⁓

He looked out the window and answered calmly. ⁓ "take me home" ⁓ the subject narrows his eyes letting out a snort, he walked around the main square three times and came to a stop in front of a day care center and told me. ⁓ "we arrived" ⁓ incredible as it may seem, I got out of the taxi and before asking the rate the guy started.

I think I hurt his pride.

I returned to the building an hour later, there was not much transportation at this time, it was past 9:30 when I approached the elevator, two cinnamon-skinned girls wait with their massage team along with one of the reception workers. I hit my forehead and take the Smartphone out of the space and it begins to vibrate receiving messages and several calls.

I offer a smile in apology. ⁓ "I'm sorry. But I had an important meeting." ⁓ The girls just stayed silent, as an apology, I offer to take one of the folding tables from the massage team,

When leaving the elevator, there were only two people from the tactical team, who greeted them in the same way and we went to PH2 where Valery and Stefany were already waiting.

Looking at the pair of masseurs behind me, Valery and Stefany frowned and to avoid misunderstandings I tell them. ⁓ "they are professional masseuses" ⁓ pointing at the pair of girls.

Stefany's face relaxes and she sighs, Valery claps and takes off his jacket, as they agree on a place for their massage, I walk away and find a place to meditate.

when I close my eyes and concentrate, I appear inside the space and I began to check the boxes and containers in the warehouses. They are objects such as statues, paintings and porcelain vases, colonial furniture, jewelry and precious stones.

due to the immense quantity, in a short time I got bored and just throw them away forming a small mountain of items. it was like robbing an antique store.

At the end of the separation I decide to return to see how the women were doing and incredible as it may seem, barely 30 seconds had elapsed and the women were still looking for the best place in the Penthouse for their massage.

I decide to meditate again and when I returned to the space it was time to practice with firearms. I put a wooden box 20 meters away I grabbed the gun with both hands and *Bang* my first shot scared me because of the noise, muzzle flash and recoil. I even close my eyes without looking where I was aiming.. *Bang* the second shot was with less fear but I kept closing my eyes and not even close.

*bang* on the tenth shot I narrowed my eyes and on the thirty-third shot I had finally hit the box, which was great progress.

Having enough bullets and time I keep shooting, losing count of the number of bullets used to destroy the wooden box, having to use a metal container to see where the bullet hit.

It was funny to take a shot and go see where it hit, then come back and fire again to check again. it was a back and forth until I fired five shots and then checked the impacts. then I fired ten shots and thus I increase the number of shots.

outside the masseuses did a good job and extended their section from 30 min to an hour and then to two hours but the young man was still sitting with his eyes closed and not moving an inch from the spot.

When the masseuses got tired of waiting for the young man, they went with one of the girls to ask about her fees. Valery was the one who paid for her services and they waited for an explanation from Steve.

but two hours later Valery and Stefany decided to leave everything for the next day. because they would have other meetings and needed to rest. while Steve continued with his meditation.

The next morning Carmen arrived early and in her hands she brings several Maid outfits that she hides suspiciously from prying eyes like Philip who insistently asked what she had bought.

with a smile on her lips Carmen tries to hide her nervousness and says. ⁓ "It's for work" ⁓ getting out of the car, Carmen said goodbye to Philip and as she approached the elevator three people were waiting next to her about to get on.

all three are women and are of different ages. the oldest between 50 to 55 years old, another from 25 to 30 and the youngest from 18 to 20 years old. What worries Carmen is that two of these women wear servant clothes. The 55-year-old woman has a long-sleeved black dress, which completely covers her feet but her dress does not drag on the ground, a white apron and a cap on her head.

the youngest has a green maid's dress, with frills on the sleeves, the same type of apron and hat, the four women looked at each other and after several seconds only one of the three smiled friendly at Carmen, while the others two greet her by nodding..

before opening the elevator doors Carmen breaks the silence ⁓ "good morning" ⁓ Alexandra answers the greeting and asks. ⁓"the gentleman is at home"⁓ without knowing how to respond Carmen clears her throat ⁓"I couldn't tell you and you are ?"⁓

Alexandra introduces herself not as the grandmother. ⁓"my name is Alexandra, this is Roxana "⁓ pointing to the older maid and adds ⁓"she is Fatima"⁓ pointing to the younger maid and continues ⁓"I'm looking for Steve"⁓ said this Alexandra approaches the elevator and to Carmen's surprise she opens the elevator doors behind the scanner.

Upon reaching the top, the five people from the tactical team were lined up and saluted. Alexandra just smiles in greeting and continues on her way. as she is followed by the two maids.

Entering the Penthouse, Alexandra glances at the terrace and the pool, but doesn't stop. Upon entering the room, she finds Steve meditating with his shirt clinging to his chest, wet with sweat that highlights his well-defined muscles. the image leaves the four women with their mouths open.

Scared by the radical change, Alexandra yells at him ⁓ "Steve "⁓ seconds later, opening her eyes leaving the women even more astonished. seeing his sapphire blue eyes, visibly upset Alexandra asks ⁓ "Steve how long have you been meditating." ⁓ surprised by his grandmother's question Steve looks disoriented to both sides of the room saying surprised ⁓ "Wow it's already dawn "⁓ the grandmother lets out a snort when feeling ignored and ask again ⁓ "how many hours have you been meditating. "⁓

Steve shrugs and says. ⁓"I don't know"⁓ when looking at a familiar face Steve asks ⁓"Carmen what time do you have"⁓

⁓ "9:00 am Mr. Steve" ⁓ Carmen answers without taking her eyes off his chest muscles. as she stands up and stretches her back, it makes her crack like toast.

Steve begins to count on his fingers .⁓"11...12...1...2...3...4"⁓ as he counted off each hour, Alexandra's eyes widened until they reached 9 and her legs get weak listening to ⁓"11 hours grandma "⁓

Alexandra stammers a few sentences before sighing and asking. ⁓ "How do you feel?" ⁓ Steve moves her arms and crosses them in front in a fan and with a smile responds. ⁓"better than ever "⁓. she began to do a couple of jumps to show her grandmother that everything was fine.

Alexandra rolls her eyes and says. ⁓ "We need to talk," ⁓ pointing to the other two ladies and adds. ⁓ "This is Roxana my housekeeper and the youngest is her daughter named Fátima "⁓ Mrs. Roxana greets and the youngest remains silent and tries to look at the floor while moving her body subtly and with a voice like mosquito greets ⁓ "Hi... Mr. Steve... my name... is Fatima"⁓ Mrs. Roxana snorts when she sees her daughter's attitude and clears her throat, drawing Steve's attention.

Mrs. Roxana, looking into the eyes of this scoundrel, felt how her body was beginning to heat up and her nipples were hardening like little buttons and as if this were not enough, her voice broke. ⁓ "sir....Steve....my daughter comes to provide you.....a service....of advice.....cleanliness and loyalty "⁓ seeing that the situation is not progressing and how mother and daughter have trouble articulating sentences, grandmother intrudes on the conversation. ⁓ "Okay, the girl stays and you go to the shower because you stink of sweat" ⁓ after several signs from the grandmother. Steve turned and went to her bedroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, Steve's jaw dropped and he immediately checks his eyes and takes off his shirt revealing his defined muscles, returning to his grandmother screaming in fright. ⁓"Grandma, Grandma, what the hell happened."⁓

The grandmother was about to respond but she remembered the woman in the kitchen and she took Steve by the arm heading towards the bedroom and on the way she said through her teeth.. ⁓ "That's why I told you not to practice more than 1 minute a day You silly brat. Now do the math, if every minute in this world is equivalent to a day in your meditation. How the hell are you not going to change if you lasted more than 11 hours meditating."⁓

That fact, instead of scaring Steve, excites him and he tells her grandmother ⁓ "but grandma, now it shot well and I can last longer" ⁓ saying this, she holds her grandmother by the waist and presses her to her chest and raise your body a bit..

Grandma's eyes widen with fear and she hits Steve's sticky chest a couple of times, she returns to see the maids who just at that moment look away, one to the nearest window and the other to the ground.

which causes both of them to stay silent and the grandmother mumbles. ⁓ "Put me down," ⁓ Steve lets go of Grandma's waist and she immediately adjusts her long dress. ⁓"Roxanne, come here with your daughter and explain to this fool what you want."⁓ Grandma orders and immediately steps away from the scoundrel's clutches.

Roxanne nods, grabs Fatima and guides her close to Steve. for the first time Roxanne feels that she is leading a lamb into the hands of a beast.

the scoundrel opens the room and invites in and both women swallow. When they cross the door with slow steps, the women are looking in all directions, while Steve is inside, he closes the door and gives her a smile. ⁓"you can sit down"⁓ since the bed is the closest place, both women look at each other and nod.

Roxanne tries to calm down a bit, swallows saliva and begins to explain her request ⁓ "sir, I want my daughter to have a better future than ours. The lady told us that you have a secret formula to increase concentration in people. that's why we're here. please I beg you to help my daughter."⁓

Steve nods and comments ⁓"what's in it for me to help."⁓

⁓"The girl is kind of clumsy, but she's loyal and can also take care of her basic needs."⁓ Roxanne replies.

Steve nods and begins to remove his clothes, both women's eyes widening as they look at Steve's new muscles. that he was throwing each piece of clothing aside when he lowers his underpants, Roxanne covers her daughter's eyes and involuntarily says. ⁓"God"⁓ when looking at the erect dragon.

Steve smiles mischievously and points to the nightstand where there are several sweets in a glass jar. ⁓ "each sweet, will increase the concentration by 1% until you reach 30%, take as many as you need. "⁓ upon hearing this, both women look at the table finding a beautiful Venetian glass jar.

⁓ "As you can see, I have a cook and two assistants who do their job very well. if you want you can stay, but you don't have to." ⁓ With that said, Steve went to shower.

before getting lost, Mrs. Roxanne asks doubtfully. ⁓ "Mr. Steve, these sweets work on men." ⁓ Steve stopped, his face scrunched up as he thought for several seconds. then he shrugs. ⁓ "I have no idea, but you can try" ⁓ Roxanne nods and grabs another handful of candy.

•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•

meanwhile in PH 1

Stefany checks the account statements and was scratching her head in frustration and rechecks the accounts when she gave up she asks Valery. ⁓"do you know where the hell this extra $660 DC came from"⁓ Valery checks the list of deposits and every 5 minutes Steve's account received 5 DC. in a total of 132 deposits

Valery shook his head and comments ⁓ "we'd better ask" ⁓ Valery gets up and instead of putting on some clothes, he takes them off and throws them on the bed. ⁓"Come on Stefany let's get some motivation. "⁓
