Splurging System Points

"Mr Silas. The list of services that we offer were included in the email. Is there anything else you would like to see or a field of specialization you particularly want?," Mr Williams asked.

"No, I don't think there will be anything else to add. The list you provided covers everything that I need and will need but if I require anything else in the future, can you accommodate me? Even if it costs more money, I will take care of it."

The virtual consultation with Mr Williams has already started, but before it started, Silas has gone through the email that contains the list of services offered by the firm, and he was very satisfied with what he saw.

As far as law firms and attorneys go, Vanguard Legal Services can be called a pretty big law firm from the list of services that they offer.

Mr. Williams, at the other end of the screen, heard what Silas said and contemplated a bit before answering, "That's certainly possible. If in the future you need more lawyers with other field specializations different from those that were listed, then it's certainly possible."

"That's all good then. Let's talk about the fee. The payment method will be yearly. Is that ok by you?," Silas asked.

He has done his findings before the meeting started and has a general understanding of how much lawyers should be paid, and he's very sure that Mr Williams won't be able to call an amount that will stump him.

Who knows? Maybe he will?...

When Mr Williams heard this, he took deep breath. This is the part of the meeting that he placed more importance on.

He has already heard from his daughter, Chloe, that Silas is a very wealthy individual but he was skeptical because of how young he looks, and he felt that the reason why Silas is looking for a lawyer is because he has criminal charges against him.

Mr Williams was still thinking of an amount to call when he heard Silas' voice.

"Mr Williams, what about $22 million a year?," Silas asked.

He understood the reason for Mr Williams' silence and hesitation, and that was why he decided to say the amount himself and break the ice.

Before the consultation, he has already done his research on the highest amount a lawyer can earn a year in the United States and it's less than $235,000.

If this amount is to be multiplied by 100 people, that's $23.5 million.

Another thing to note is that it's impossible for Vanguard Legal Services to have 100 lawyers working in the law firm. Even if it does have, it's impossible for everyone to earn $235,000.

So it could be said that Silas is being generous, extremely generous when he said he will pay $22 million yearly.

Mr Williams also seems to have understood and was now looking at Silas with a complicated expression on his face.

He didn't know what to say. The amount that Silas said is simply something that a law firm like them might never be able to come across.

$22 million?!

Mr Williams felt that there was no law firm in the whole of California that could get such a deal.

In fact, even New York, the highest-paying state and San Jose, the highest-paying city won't be able to get this type of deal.

Thinking of these, Mr Williams felt a surge of relief and gratitude as his facial expression changed, and he smiled warmly at Silas.

"We look forward to working with you, Mr Silas."

"Good. I will make the transfer immediately. Do tell the real estate attorney to meet me at Premiere Villa, Newport. I want to purchase the properties today."

"Yes, Mr Silas. I will let him know and he will meet up with you soon."

"Ok, I will be waiting," Silas said ending the meeting.

Silas closed his laptop and let out a sigh. He has successfully retained a law firm and he will be able to purchase the first batch of buildings today.

Things have been working out very well lately and he really hopes they continue like this, but he doesn't know what the future holds in store for him.

The introduction of the system into his life has changed so many things for him, from mundane things like his previous financial situation to complicated things like him now having superpower.

All he wanted was to save up some money for college so that he can get his degree and improve his quality of living in whatever way he can, but things have now gone beyond that.

He felt happy about the whole situation he currently finds himself in, but he's also worried. He's worried that he's going to attract too much attention to himself and implicate his family, especially Alex.

He felt that he shouldn't complicate things further for himself but that's impossible. He knew that things became complicated the moment he awakened his superpower.

Even if he wants to lay low, live a leisurely life and spend the money he gets from the system, and not complete any of the system missions he will get in the future, it's impossible for him to do so.

Thinking of these, Silas sighed and closed his eyes briefly as he tries to push the thoughts out of his mind.

Since he might not be able to live a simple life, then whatever the world wants to throw at him, he will face it. Besides, where's the fun and excitement in being normal or ordinary? None! It's boring!

Silas brought out his phone and initiated the transfer.

'I hop I get enough cash reward so that I can buy the buildings'

Immediately after the transfer was done, he got the system's notification.

[Ding!]

[You spent $22,000,000. You received a 10x rebate of expenses made. You earned $170,000,000. The money has been sent to your bank account]

You received a Mercedes-Maybach Excelero*. The car is parked at the Villa's garage.

You received 0.153% shares of Lockheed Martins Corporation*.]

Silas looked at the notification in surprise and happiness. He was happy that he got enough cash reward to enable him to purchase the buildings. Even though the money isn't enough to buy all the buildings at once, Silas wasn't worried because he can make the payment twice.

He was also surprised because since the rebate reward became diversified, this is actually the first time he's receiving shares as a rebate reward from the system.

Immediately, he went on to the internet to search for Lorckhead Martins Corporation. After a few minutes of searching, Silas was able to get some information on the company.

The company is an aerospace and manufacturing company. It's a very large company as they are of the companies in the Fortune 500 and top 150 in the world, and this can be seen from their market cap of more than $103.88 billion.

After reading this, Silas looked at the percentage of shares of the company that he got, 0.153% of all outstanding shares, equivalent to $42 million.

Silas saw this and did his calculations, and after he was done, he went on the internet.

Few minutes later, Silas could be seen smiling. After doing his calculations and verifying his findings on the internet, Silas found out that he's now one of the top shareholders in the company.

From the information he got, he found out that he's the only individual with the highest percentage of shares in the company, and what made him even more happier is that the company pays dividends.

"Phew… All I have to do now is to wait for the attorney to get here so that I can go to Summit Realty Group, and buy the buildings."

"While I wait for the attorney, let's play with the lottery."

"System, status."

"2200 lottery tickets?!"

"My luck must peak today," Silas said and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"System, draw 100 tickets."

[You received 1000 system points.] x9

[You received 3,000 system points.]

Silas looked at the rewards and did not know whether to laugh or cry, making him have a funny expression on his face.

The number of times he got nothing made him frown but the amount of system points he got made him smile.

He drew 100 tickets, 70 got him nothing, 30 got him 50,000 system points which is equivalent to $500 million.

Just the first set of lottery tickets drawn has given him 20 times more value than the $22 million he spent.

"Let's draw more," Silas said as he looked at the amount of lottery tickets he still has left.

"System, draw 100 tickets." Silas said, and took a deep breath in anticipation.

"Yes!... Finally, I got a [Knowledge]!"

Immediately, he opened the system store to check the description and price of the [Knowledge] he got.

[Hologram]

Description: 3D images which are processed by a computer to compensate for variations in picture fidelity, and then sent to the display. (Cost: 140,000 SP).

"It sounds very high-tech and it's equally expensive."

Seeing this, Silas smiled, grinning from ear to ear.

"I still have 2000 lottery tickets to be used later. For now, I will learn this while waiting for the attorney to arrive," Silas said, and lay down on his bed, and bit on his blanket.

He already knows how painful things can be, especially when transferring things to his brain.

He did a short breathing and exercise, and closed his eyes, before telling the system to initiate the knowledge transfer.

[Knowledge Transfer Initiated.]

Silas wasn't even able to make a sound before he blanked out.

….

[Knowledge Transfer Completed.]
