Chapter 041

Twisty Tipsey was a local pub located in Slime Ridge. Just like it's name, it was a ghetto area in West View.

 Vroom!

 A bentley came to a halt besides the pub, attracting the attention of many passer-bys.

 It couldn't be helped since it was rare to stumble upon such an expensive vehicle in Slime Ridge.

 Stepping out, Oscar grinned when he sensed the greedy gazes directed at him. He didn't care wether they vandalized the vehicle or not.

 He could just purchase another one. It wasn't like as if he had money issues.

 Entering the pub, he had to hold his breath due to the sudden wave of alchololic stench that slammed against his nostrill.

 It was his first time entering such a place afterall.

 At that moment, he saw a hand wave at him from a table located at the rear end of the pua.

 Getting to the table, Oscar finally saw the occupants. They were two men in their early thirties, clad in 'normal clothes' that wouldn't even worth more than $30.

 However, they both shared a striking resemblance.

"Nice meeting you Mr. Oscar. I must admit, you are way younger than I imagined" Trumps extended his hand.

 "My pleasure" Oscar accepted the gesture of goodwill before sitting down.

 "Do you drink?" Trumps asked.

 "Um no" Oscar rejected, causing Trumps to smile. However, he didn't insist any further.

 "My Brother and I almost lost hope in life. It was only thanks to you purchasing the Cloud Peach Groove were we were able to pick ourselves up. For that, you have our thanks" Trumps and Trunks bowed their heads in gratitude.

 "Uhm. It's nothing much really. I just bought Cloud Peach Groove because I felt it suited my taste quite well" Oscar scratched his head, finding it akward to see two men who were older than him, bowing to him.

 "You shouldn't say that Mr. Oscar. I believe all this is the workings of fate" Trunks shook his head stubbornly.

 "My brother is correct. Which is why, we brothers have pledged to follow you from today henceforth"

"Follow me?" Oscar was truly gobsmacked.

 He just bought Cloud Peach Groove as an excuse to spend money.

 Why were these two treating it like as if it was a big deal?

 "We think of you as our life saving grace. As such, this is the only way for we brothers to show our appreciation" Trunks added.

 "Please don't reject us. We brothers have a lot of experience in business management. I reckon you bought Cloud Peach Groove to establish your family's business here in West View. With we brothers supporting you, the business will yield good results" Trumps encouraged.

 Stroking his beardless chin, Oscar fell into contemplation.

 What both brothers said made sense. Although he had the skill *Business Acumen* it was still just knowledge at the end of the day. He still lacked the experience.

 Although he wasn't establishing a company to make profits, he found it worrisome to run a business alone.

 It wouldn't be a bad thing to have two helpers.

"Alright. I accept" he eventually made his choice.

 "But if I discover one day that you both approached me with sinister intentions, it won't be nice" spitting these threats, Oscar revealed a bit of his Septima rank aura, causing both brothers to develop goosebumps.

 Fortunately, Oscar retrieved his aura.

 Trunks took a large deep gulp before responding.

 "You won't regret it"

.

.

 "This is your apartment?" Trunks jaw dropped to the ground as he stared dazingly at Oscar's luxury mansion.

 "Hm. And that's where you both will be saying. Think of it as a privilege of being my first employee" Oscar replied as he got down from the car.

 And so, the trio explored the whole mansion, with Oscar showing both brothers around.

 They eventually chose their rooms before leaving off to go buy some clothes.

.

.

 The next day, Oscar drove the Jamie brothers to Cloud Peach Groove.

 "I can't believe we're coming back here again" Trunks voiced was full with emotions as he stared at the office building.

"Yeah. I can't believe so much time has passed. Neither did I ever imagine I'd be visiting this site again" Trumps nodded deeply.

 Cloud Peach Groove was supposed to be their greatest investment. Alas, it turned out to be their greatest liability.

 "I never had the chance to ask this but, what did you both do with the money you received after I purchased Cloud Peach Groove?"

 "Well, after the Contractor that we brothers ran away with our initial capital, we still believed that if Cloud Peach Groove gets completed, it would bring a massive turnaround. As such, we took a loan to complete it. Alas, West View was already developed with many investors, making us lose the intiative and fall into bankruptcy. After that, our debtors came knocking on our door. We had to sell all our stocks and properties but it wasn't enough to pay up our debts. So, after we recieved the money, we had to pay up our debts. So you see, you are our life-time benefactor" Trumps explained.

After that, the trio took a tour, inspecting the interior of the large office building. Because of being dormant for a long time, the building was cut off from the city's power supply.

 As such, the trio had to use the stairs, which was quite stressful to say the least. Four hours later, they finally managed to finish touring around the office building, regrouping back at Oscar's bentley.

 "So? what do you think?" Oscar asked the brothers.

 "Due to the passage of time, many designs have become worn out. For this building to become set for use, it has to be re-designed again" Trunks gave his opinion.

 "So, do you have any suggestions. I am not too familiar with the social circle of this city"

 "About that, I know a civil engineering company that can help. But they charge too much for their services" Trunks replied with a worried frown.

 "Don't worry about payment" saying this, Oscar contacted Hunks, the system's A.I.

"Hunks. Can you link the centi card to another bank account, apart from mine?" he asked.

-[Negative. To protect the Host privacy, the Centi card was designed to be only linked to the Host bank account. Plus, aren't you trusting those duo too much? if they discover the large amount of money within the Centi card, they might plot against you] Hunks warned.

 "Tch. I got over excited. Thank you for the heads up" Oscar finally realized his folly, causing him to sweat bucket inwardly.

 If not for the system's warning, he would've just dug a grave for himself.

 "I will transfer some money to you now. If it ends up being insufficient, you can just give me a call and I'll send more to you" after saying this, Oscar took Trumps bank details and transferred $100 million to him.

 However, he didn't receive any Centi points. But, Oscar didn't panic. He more or less figured how the system allocated Centi points.

 Only by directly spending could he recieve Centi points.

The situation of him transferring the money to Trumps could only be regarded as potential spending.

 Only when Trumps spent the money on the services of the civil engineering company could it be regarded as real spending, making him fufil the criteria to recieve the system's centi points.
