Generous Auntie Mandy

While Dame Wasp got busy with creating her version of trading software by copying the proprietary trading software of big and well-known hedge funds, Ace decided to continue practicing the modified body reinforcement curse art. 

Just as Ace was about to start circulating his curse energy, his phone rang with an IM notification. He decided to ignore it and continue with his practice but his phone rang twice more, notifying him that he received two more IMs. Annoyed Ace picked up his phone to check who was texting him at this ungodly hour. 

It was Mandy. Of course, it had to her. 

[Mandy: Hey, Ace.] 

[Mandy: Ace, you up?] 

[Mandy: Are you ignoring my texts because you are busy masturbating?] 

[Mandy: Did I catch you at the wrong time?] 

[Mandy: Let me make it up to you. +5 image files attached.] 

Just as Ace read her texts, Mandy spammed him with two more texts and the top five of her bikini selfies. That was what the image files were called. After sending her bikini pics, Mandy stopped spamming Ace, as if waiting for him to savor her pics. 

Ace gulped his saliva looking at Mandy's pics. They were too tempting, he then shook his head and deleted the pics. Keeping them would only spell trouble. Then just as he was about to put his phone down, as if she were watching him Mandy sent another text. 

[Mandy: Are you finished? Or do you need a few more minutes? If my bikini selfies are not enough I can send some topless ones.] 

Fearing Mandy would send her topless pics, Ace hurriedly replied to her text. 

[Ace: Speak, what is it that you need from me?] 

[Mandy: No honey, the topless pics are for free.] 

[Ace: Mandy, stop fooling around. Or I will block you.] 

[Mandy: Fine, but you are no fun do you know that.] 

[Ace: Boys are fun, Men are responsible.] 

[Mandy: (Rolling eyes emoji) Boys are virgins, Men are experienced. Let me help you complete your transition into a Man.] 

[Ace: I will share our chat with my sister. Maybe you would like to explain to her how you will help her little brother transition into a Man.] 

Ace's elder sister was older than Mandy by a few years. Growing up Mandy used to look up to her but when she entered high school things changed as Mandy was the head cheerleader while Ace's sister was an introverted geek who spent her time watching cartoons or reading comics. They started to grow apart, however, Mandy still respects Ace's sister— feared would be more appropriate word. 

[Mandy: Why do you have to be such a killjoy? Am I not beautiful?] 

[Ace: Are you listening to yourself? This is not how you should be talking to your nephew-in-law. Besides, are you trying to give Dan a heart attack? That man thinks of you as his daughter.] 

[Mandy: Enough, I contacted you to inform that I would like to invest in your trending venture.] 

Listening to Ace bring up Dan, Mandy was no longer in the mood to flirt with him. Instead, she skipped to the reason she texted him. 

[Ace: My trading venture? I don't even have a trading account yet. If you want to invest you better find someone trustable, like the big hedge funds. They charge a hefty fee but it's worth it. ] 

Ace found Mandy's words funny. And advised her to find the best investment manager her money could buy. 

[Mandy: You will soon have one and I want to invest in you. I trust you.] 

[Ace: Fine, but I too charge a hefty fee. 50 percent of whatever I can earn using your money.] 

Seeing Mandy continue to insist on investing in him, Ace quoted an unreasonable fee to force her to back off. However, things did not go as he had planned. 

[Mandy: Okay.] 

[Country Bank: Mandy has credited $30,000 to your account ending with XXXX.]

Mandy readily agreed and sent him the money.

[Ace: Are you crazy? Or just too rich?] 

When Mandy said she wanted to invest, Ace thought she was going to invest $500 to $2000 at best but he did not think that she would directly send him $30,000. Then, he wondered if this was her way of courting him. Since her charm and bikini selfies failed she wanted to make him submit to her using her money. Well, lots of men do it, but this was the first Ace saw a woman do it. Especially, a beautiful woman. 

[Mandy: I feel you are worth it.] 

[Ace: This doesn't change anything. My answer is still no.] 

[Mandy: Get your mind out of the gutter. Besides, I don't need money to get some, my charm is enough.] 

[Ace: (Rolling eyes emoji) Thank you, Auntie Mandy.] 

[Mandy: Good night nephew Ace (sweet dreams emoji)]

"Rose, our seed money has increased to $30,500," Ace excitedly informed Dame Wasp who was staring at the PC monitor while her braid data jack connected to the CPU. This way she can power the PC with her cybernetics. Allowing it to display capabilities similar to that of a supercomputer. 

"That's great news, Master. With that much seed money, we can amass a million within a week," Having gone through the proprietary trading software of the big hedge funds Dame Wasp was now more knowledgeable about how the share market worked. So she could confidently say that they could earn a million within a week with ease. 

"Make that two million, because the extra $30,000 belongs to Mandy. I agreed on a 50:50 split on whatever we earn using her investment," Ace informed Dame Wasp. 

"No problem, Master. Based on what I have gathered so far from the proprietary trading software, we can earn a profit of up to three million dollars in a week without much risk with our current initial investment," Dame Wasp assured Ace that his plans to make his family a millionaire within a week was still possible. 

"That's good. How are we on the government front? Will they be suspicious of our transactions?" Ace asked in concern as earning nearly three million within a single week was bound to attract attention. 

"Don't worry master, these hedge funds have a very detailed map on how to stay under the radar of the government. Especially, SEC and IRS. Trust me, I will take care of everything," Dame Wasp confidently assured Ace.
