Chapter 21

Slowly but surely Sarah was getting the control of more and more of the company, bribing some of the high level directors and even sending anonymous offers to her father to purchase the company.

Of course her father didn't accept it, it's his legacy after all. But over the month Sarah had slowly purchased 55% of the company, all the available shares that were spread out among the public.

She now officially owned the company, of course she didn't tell her father or her sister.

Rather she allowed the company to run normally, as her sister was officially promoted to the leader after an announcement from her father.

Surprisingly enough Sarah didn't bother to interfere with the running of the company, she only made some small moves to transition a lot of the business to A2s own personal company.

Sarah was busy with her new relationship, she had no time to manage a company, why not have her sister manage the company and then reap more than half of the credits.

That was just a small event for Samuel, it only took a few tens of thousands of credits in order to ensure a steady flow of cash into the organisation.

This isn't the only company that Samuel has stuck his hands into, various companies across the city have started to be purchased by various anonymous figures. Unless a warrior investigates no one will be able to tell who purchased the stocks.

This was all to create a steady stream of profits as well as a lot of influence on various businesses in the city.

Every Mercenary company does things like this, it's mainly for information. After all you can't be unaware of what happens in the city can you?

Something interesting happened with Samuel's Parents as well, they decided to travel! The company was placed under the control of Samuels Uncle Michael and Samuels dad had always wanted to travel and now was the perfect time.

Samuel was officially independent and the companies doing well, there are no more strings typing him down anymore.

So after a brief going away party Samuel returned to a playboy lifestyle. Hence leading to the current situation of Samuel sitting in a bar.

''A18 call over a waitress and ordered me another bottle of wine.'' Samuel said casually to the guard beside him.

A18 walked off to go get the drinks and the predators took this time to strike. As soon as they saw Samuel alone dozens of women turned their eyes towards him and began to casually slide over slowly acting natural.

But as all the women were trying to meet Samuel organically a shorter young woman walked straight over and sat opposite him.

Samuel glanced up naturally and pushed over a cup full of purple wine.

''Care for a Drink?'' He said with a charming smile.

''Ah uh I would love one thank you.'' She flashed a shy smile, her face incredibly cute, opposite to a girl you would expect to see in this type of environment.

''So what is a girl like yourself doing here? You don't seem like you're enjoying it too much.'' Samuel asked politely.

''Oh some girls from my school dragged me along'' She said with a shy red face ''They also told me to come and talk with you, i'm sorry If I bothered you.''

With that said she started to get up and begin to walk away seemingly in a panic, but Samuel tapped lightly on the table as he glanced at a small table filled with drunk girls that the girl was heading towards.

''Please stay, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am enjoying your company. I just realised I never asked your name''

Samuel asked her to stay after noticing the crowd she would be returning to. He still spared a little compassion for such a brave yet shy girl.

''Natalie.'' She whispered timidly returning to her seat and picking up the cup of wine.

It was at this moment that A18 returned with a new bottle of Champagne.

Natalie also seemed to panic at this moment, after all this is a warrior, she has never been in the presence of an actual warrior!

They are generally aloof and honourable, either spending all their time practising or communicating with people at the same level as them.

A fresh graduate like Natalie has little chance to contact such a powerful man, but now one was standing like a loyal dog next to the boy in front of her? How could she not get nervous?

Samuel pretended not to notice her uncomfort, and continued chatting normally. Slowly Natalie got more and more comfortable, but before she realised it over two hours passed.

At this time a slight red tinge stained her face as she stood up.

''Ah excuse me I'm going to go to the bathroom.'' Natalie staggered up and headed towards the bathroom.

Samuel was originally sipping his wine but A18 tapped on his shoulder.

''Master three people followed the young lady into the hallway, shall we do something?''

As soon as Samuel heard this he turned his head and looked towards the bathroom.

Sure enough three people were following Natalie. Two were large and bulky with tattoos littered on their skin. Surprisingly though the remaining person was a boy Samuel was familiar with.

He was the young boy who was on Ceilias' Picture.

''Haha interesting, I guess it is the protagonist's time to play.'' Samuel said with a slight smile on his face.
